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

After chatting for a bit, my mother came to work.

"Mom, did you go to your uncle's house?"

Liu Meifen nodded with a smile: "I gave some meat to your uncle's family, and your aunt cried her eyes out, saying that marrying into the Liu family is such a blessing..."

These days, when you go back to your parents' home, there's practically nothing to bring. If you can wrap some baked fruit and snacks in a small handkerchief, that's already quite an achievement.

My mother's parents have passed away, but she still brought about ten pounds of meat to visit my younger brother. I bet my aunt was very touched.

"Haha, Auntie didn't call Xiaoshui home?"

"Why didn't you say so? You kept rambling on and on, and in the end, I ended up taking half a sack of wild vegetables home."

Chang Kun sighed inwardly. He wondered how long his aunt had dug up the half-sack of wild vegetables to accumulate them. His uncle hadn't even been working for a month yet, so it was probably not time for the supply to be distributed.

"Mom, I'm going to work now. Remember to return the three lunchboxes to the restaurant across the street."

Liu Meifen agreed and watched Chang Kun leave.

Wang Cuiqin exclaimed, "How come your Xiao Kun is so lucky? All your relatives and friends get to enjoy the good life too!"

Hearing praise for her son, Liu Meifen had endless things to say. The two of them chatted idly while tidying up the display cases.

At that moment, the door of the supply and marketing cooperative opened, and Director Song waved the newspaper in his hand, his face full of excitement.

"Look, look, what's this?"

Wang Cuiqin turned around and smiled: "Director, you seem so happy today, did you catch Old Chiang?"

Director Song glared at her: "How could you make such a joke! Luckily, no one else heard!"

Having said that, he unfolded the newspaper and read it aloud, word by word: "Recently, a piece of music called 'Hometown' has spread throughout the country. The composer is Chang Kun..."

"What's next? What's next?" Liu Meifen darted around the counter and peered at the newspaper.

"I don't recognize the rest... they're all just musical symbols." Director Song smiled awkwardly. If he hadn't seen Chang Kun's name in the newspaper, he would still be eating breakfast at the braised pork stall.

Liu Meifen and Wang Cuiqin grabbed the newspaper, spread it out on the counter, and leaned closer: "It really is my son's name, hehe, haha..."

Wang Cuiqin also looked delighted, but sighed inwardly, thinking, "Such a good young man! Why didn't I introduce him to my niece back then?!" She was so regretful she could grind her teeth to dust!

"The villagers don't know this good news yet, I need to buy more newspapers so they can know... Director, I'm asking for leave to go to the newsstand, I'll be back in a bit!" With that, Liu Meifen excitedly pushed open the door and rushed out.

Director Wang and Wang Cuiqin exchanged a glance, shook their heads, and chuckled.

Liu Meifen's biggest hobby is showing off her son.

……

After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, Chang Kun went to the courtyard house first.

The place has been renovated. Unlock it and go inside. Pour all the fish you caught yesterday, fish and water, into the fish pond.

The courtyard, which was originally uninhabited, immediately felt more alive after these swimming fish were added.

The fishpond was divided in two. On one side were pretty fish like minnows, rockfish, bitterling, and catfish, while on the other side were delicious fish like crucian carp, snakehead, eel, and yellow catfish.

There are still too few good-looking fish. Chang Kun thought that he should go to Dong'an Market when he has time to see if there are any goldfish.

I picked some leaves from the jujube tree in the yard, chopped them up using the available space, and threw them into the fish pond. Regardless of whether the fish eat meat or vegetables, this will serve as their food.

After we move in, the task of feeding the fish will be left to the little girls.

I picked a handful of red dates, wiped them on my clothes, took a bite, and they tasted so sweet!

As I stepped out of the courtyard gate and locked it, an old man approached me and asked, "Young man, is this your home?"

Chang Kun turned around and saw an old man in his fifties or sixties standing straight, his clothes patched upon patched, his left sleeve hanging loosely – it was Yang Guo.

"Sir, this is my home. I haven't moved in yet. Is there something you need?"

The old man chuckled, "It's nothing, it's nothing. I saw the renovations going on here a few days ago, so I knew someone was going to move in. I live in the courtyard next door, number 98."

"What a coincidence, grandpa, you're eating dates." Chang Kun stuffed a few dates into the old man's right hand.

"Are the dates in the yard ripe again? Time really flies!" The old man didn't stand on ceremony, popping a date into his mouth and nodding, "It still tastes the same, not changed at all."

"Alright, I have to go to work too. You're a good young man, you even gave an old man a date..." the old man muttered, turning and walking out of the alley. His steps were steady, showing no signs of the impact of having only one arm.

Watching the old man walk away, Chang Kun thought to himself, "With only one arm, I wonder where he'll work? He seems to be another man with a story."

While cycling and eating dates, I suddenly realized that the space could not only grow grains and vegetables, but also fruits, such as these dates.

However, most fruit trees take several years to mature. Even with a space that can accelerate the process tenfold, it would still take several months to mature, which is simply too much to wait for.

Let's wait and see. Maybe the next upgrade will speed it up a hundredfold.

When Chang Kun arrived at the research institute, he had ten large squid in his lunchbox.

"Uncle Cheng, this is a gift from a friend. Take it home and enjoy it with your drinks."

Cheng Rongjiang laughed heartily: "Xiao Kun, you've spoiled him by eating delicious food with him every day."

I opened the lunchbox and exclaimed, "Oh! It's squid?!"

"Uncle Cheng, you're something else! You gave a few to Cheng Min just now, and she didn't even recognize them."

"Hehe, before liberation, I traveled all over the country with my family. I saw this thing in the south. At that time, Cheng Min was still young and didn't remember much. Her mother was still..." At this point, Cheng Rongjiang's tone gradually lowered.

He thought back to the old days, when life was tough, but his family was all together. Unlike now...

Seeing Cheng Rongjiang's expression, Chang Kun knew what was going on and quickly said, "Uncle Cheng, this thing is still warm, why don't you try it first?"

"Okay." Cheng Rongjiang took a deep breath. He didn't want to lose his composure in front of the younger generation. He reached out, picked up a squid, and put it in his mouth.

"This tastes amazing!" He only took a small bite before quickly putting the rest into his lunchbox. "This would definitely be great with alcohol, but I can't eat it like this, it's such a waste."

"By the way, Xiao Kun, have you read today's Wenyi Bao newspaper?" Ever since he learned that Chang Kun's opera had become famous, Cheng Rongjiang had been paying attention to Wenyi Bao. When Chang Kun's name appeared in the newspaper today, he immediately found out.

Chang Kun was taken aback for a moment, then realized what he meant and was also a little happy: "The piece was in the newspaper?"

Cheng Rongjiang chuckled a few times, then patted Chang Kun on the shoulder: "When are you moving?"

Chang Kun understood what these seemingly unrelated questions meant.

After they move, things will be better for Cheng Min and her husband. Old Master Cheng is a little worried that after Chang Kun becomes famous, their marriage will be affected again.

After all, when it comes to fame and fortune, people's hearts are the most unpredictable.

"Uncle Cheng, don't worry! In another four or five days, my mother has already chosen an auspicious date."

"Alright, we've known each other for a while now, and I trust your character. Take good care of Xiaomin from now on; she lost her mother when she was little..."

Parents will always swallow their pride and say hurtful things for their children, just so that their children can have a better life.

Just like in the TV series "Our Parents' Love," An Jie was unhappy with Ya Fei's marriage and had to bow down to her in-laws... (Sigh...)
