Reborn in the 60s, I hunt to support my family and even seduce the village beauty.

"Auntie, there's no way there's a thief stealing corn. Someone's probably starving, right?"

Sun Xiaohong nodded: "Who says otherwise? It's probably someone from our village who did it, but they can't steal every night. They've been stealing for several days in a row, and even though your Uncle Yang leads the security team on patrol, they still can't catch them. Isn't that strange?"

Chang Kun sighed. These days, it's really not easy to live!

"Auntie, Grandpa Yang isn't home, so I won't go in. I have to rush to work."

"There's too much stuff, take it back with you." Sun Xiaohong opened the bag, glanced at the nearly ten pounds of meat inside, and was shocked. This amount of meat was enough to marry several new wives in their village.

"Auntie, this meat didn't cost a penny. If I take it home, my mother will scold me to death!" Taking advantage of Sun Xiaohong's inattention, Chang Kun rode off on his bicycle, shouting back to Sun Xiaohong, "Consider it as a snack for my uncle's drinks."

"You child..." Sun Xiaohong chased after him for a few steps but couldn't catch up. She looked down at the things in her hands and muttered to herself, "Xiaomei's family is really good in-laws. How am I ever going to repay this favor?"

After speeding all the way to the city, Chang Kun checked his watch and realized he still had plenty of time before work, so he rode his bike to Cheng Min's house.

After waiting for less than two minutes, Cheng Min went out and saw Chang Kun waiting by the roadside, and smiled.

"Chang Kun, have you been waiting long?"

"Just arrived, have you eaten yet?"

"I've already eaten. What about you?" Cheng Min rubbed her stomach, secretly regretting that she should have invited Chang Kun to have breakfast together if she had known he was coming.

"I've already eaten, I came to bring you something."

Chang Kun took out two lunch boxes from his bag. These were from the state-run restaurant yesterday, and he had requisitioned them first.

Inside were two four-happiness meatballs, some twice-cooked pork, four slices of garlic-flavored pork belly, and five grilled squid.

"Wow, so much delicious food! What is this?" Cheng Min was surprised when she opened the lunchbox; it was full of meat dishes.

She was particularly captivated by a few shiny, brownish-red, wavy things that she had never seen before. Just one sniff was enough to enchant her.

"Hehe, that's called squid, it's from the sea. Try it, it's delicious."

These days, it's practically impossible for people inland to eat seafood. Not only is it difficult to catch seafood, but preservation and transportation are also major challenges, unless it's like when Consort Yang of Tang ate lychees, requiring an urgent delivery from 800 li away.

"From the sea?" Cheng Min smiled, her eyes crinkling. "That's really rare. Have you ever tried it?"

Chang Kun couldn't respond either. He picked up a squid from the lunchbox with his fingers, wanting to give it to him.

Chang Kun glanced around and saw that no one was paying attention to them, then waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "You eat it yourself, I've already eaten, there's plenty more at home."

Cheng Min giggled, finding Chang Kun's slightly shy demeanor quite adorable, and without further ado, she took a bite of the squid.

"Wow! This tastes so good!" For inlanders who have never eaten seafood before, the taste of fresh and tender grilled squid immediately won over their taste buds.

He couldn't resist taking another bite, nodding as he chewed, "No wonder everyone says seafood is so fresh, it's true!"

After taking three small bites, Cheng Min carefully put the remaining squid into the lunchbox and said with a smile, "I've already eaten. I'll leave the rest for Dad and my older brother to have with their drinks."

Chang Kun was stunned for a moment, this...

This girl is really nice. However, your man has the system, so he doesn't need to think about saving a few bites of food for his family.

"Take what I've given you. I have plenty more. I'll take it to Grandpa Cheng when I go to work." Chang Kun took out another lunchbox, opened it to show Cheng Min, and said, "I have even better food here."

"Huh! What's this? It looks like an old cockroach!" Cheng Min looked at the cicada in the lunchbox with disgust, feeling that this thing was a relative of cockroaches.

"You don't know what's good. This stuff is delicious, and most people can't buy it." He picked one up, removed its head and innards, and handed it to Cheng Min: "Try it."

Cheng Min turned her head to the side and waved her hands repeatedly: "I won't eat it, it scares me just looking at it!"

"So timid? Even Xiuer dared to eat that..."

"Really? You're not kidding me?" Cheng Min hesitated as she took the cicada, but after a few tries, she still didn't dare to put it in her mouth.

"Don't lie to me, or else... Hmph!" She clenched her little fist and waved it in front of Chang Kun, then closed her eyes and threw the cicada into her mouth.

"Wow!" Her eyes snapped open, she gestured with her fingers, and after a five or six-second pause, she finally spoke: "It's so delicious?! So fragrant and sweet! I can't believe it tastes so good, considering how ugly it looks!"

"I wasn't lying to you, was I? Will you believe what I say from now on?"

Cheng Min nodded, then reached out and picked up another cicada; these things are really addictive to eat.

"Here, take this box." Chang Kun stuffed a lunchbox of osmanthus cicadas into Cheng Min's hand. "I have to go to work. I feel bad asking for leave every day."

"Yeah, I only took a day off last time, I don't dare to take it again this time." Cheng Min waved to Chang Kun as she packed a few lunchboxes into her bag.

"Let's go now, thank you for bringing so much delicious food, I really like it."

"Like? Like what? Like me?" Chang Kun asked with a smile, and before Cheng Min could respond, he got on his bike and slowly rode away.

Cheng Min, her face flushed, was left biting her lip, watching Chang Kun's retreating figure until he disappeared from sight.

Chang Kun arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative first. His mother hadn't come to work yet; she must have gone to his uncle's house to deliver donkey meat and pig's head meat.

"Sister Wang, please get me 20 lunch boxes." He found the lunch boxes particularly useful, as they had their own space. He could put the food into the lunch boxes and then put them into the space, and they wouldn't get messy at all.

"Okay, I'll go pick out some good ones for you." A few minutes later, Wang Cuiqin returned with a large stack of lunch boxes.

At that time, lunch boxes were rectangular aluminum, lightweight and durable, and could be used to heat food and also as soup bowls. Even those born in the 80s and 90s often carried these lunch boxes to school.

"Xiao Kun, I haven't thanked you yet. The donkey meat you brought over the day before yesterday was so delicious that my son loved it. He said he's never eaten such good meat before."

"Sister Wang, you've already given me the money, there's no need for thanks."

"That's because you took care of us, Xiao Kun. Where can we buy meat this cheaply now? There's still a piece of meat left at home, and I was thinking of sending some to my in-laws to try."

"Sister Wang, you don't need to go. I just went to Uncle Yang's house this morning and brought some donkey meat and pig's head meat. My eldest sister lives at her parents' house and misses her parents-in-law."

Wang Cuiqin gave a thumbs up: "You're amazing! No wonder everyone says Xiao Kun is so loyal!"

She and Chang Mei are sisters-in-law. Since there is meat in the house, it is only right that she show some respect to her parents-in-law.

But Chang Kun's act of giving meat to his elder sister's parents-in-law is truly admirable!

These days, if you're not respectful to your parents-in-law, people will gossip behind your back, and it can even affect your job performance evaluation. Even with Jia Zhangshi causing such a ruckus, Qin Lianhua didn't turn against her.

In later generations, things were different. There were all sorts of melodramatic mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships. Everyone was dissatisfied and would argue and rap on the spot, which was truly eye-opening.
