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

Chang Mei stood up, checked Chang Kun's shoulders from front to back, and only felt relieved when she saw that he was not injured.

"Don't worry, sis, it was shot."

"Xiao Kun, when did you learn to use a gun? Wild boars are so fierce, don't go and mess with them!"

The older sister had no idea what a wild boar would bring to the family; her first reaction was to worry that her younger brother would get hurt.

"Yes, I'm very careful." Chang Kun enjoyed his older sister's concern.

After his eldest sister passed away, he could only hear her voice in his dreams.

"Hey kid, you're pretty good. Nobody in our village has caught a wild boar in years. Everyone says they're in the mountains, but they disappear in a flash as soon as they see someone."

The three chatted for a while, and Chang Kun took the items out of the sack one by one.

The skinned greyhound, the two pheasants still alive (one from home, one caught by the roadside), five pounds of wild boar meat wrapped in lotus leaves, a blue cloth over two meters long, four pounds of soybeans and two pounds of corn in a small cloth bag, and two pounds of peach crisps wrapped separately in a corn husk.

This pile of things left Chang Mei and Sun Xiaohong speechless.

"Xiao Kun, why did you bring so much stuff?" Chang Mei looked at all the things; it was more than the dowry she received when she got married!

"Oh my god, how come this is..." Sun Xiaohong was so surprised that she couldn't speak. Even the entire possessions of an ordinary rural family didn't amount to this much!

"Auntie, sister, look, the greyhounds, pheasants, soybeans and corn were all caught in the mountains. The cloth was a second-rate piece of cloth that Sister Wang Cuiqin gave me. The peach shortbread only cost a dollar or so."

Chang Kun told the two how he hunted squirrels and pheasants on the mountain, and how he dug grain out of field mouse burrows.

Chang Mei and Sun Xiaohong listened in a daze, as if they were listening to a storyteller, feeling as if the things in the mountains were in Chang Kun's pocket, and he could take them whenever he wanted.

But with the item right in front of you, you have no choice but to believe it.

Chang Mei looked at her younger brother and felt that he had really grown up in the year she hadn't seen him. He could catch pheasants, rabbits, and even wild boars, unlike before when he was good at nothing but eating.

Moreover, not only have they improved their skills, they've also become more talkative, unlike their quiet sedentary self before.

"Well, this is too much. You could just take one to try, but this is too much..." Sun Xiaohong felt embarrassed.

"Auntie, we're family, no need to talk like that. You forgot, when my Xiuer had a fever and couldn't eat, you had my older sister bring her five eggs, and we didn't say a word."

Liu Meifen mentioned this to Chang Kun while she was tidying up her things.

Sun Xiaohong blinked and remained silent.

Her family was a little better off than the Chang family, but not by much.

Those five eggs were saved up over six months ago. I was originally thinking of exchanging them for some oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar, but my in-laws' child got sick, so I just gave them away.

Chang Kun then recounted the amusing story of taking Chang Qing and Chang Mu to catch cicadas, which made Chang Mei extremely envious.

She was the eldest child in her family, and she always led her younger siblings in catching cicadas.

Now that I'm married and have children, I can no longer experience the joys of childhood.

Chang Kun thought for a moment, then reached into the sack, pretending to take something out, and pulled out a handful of fried cicadas.

This is a reward from the system for catching cicadas, and I haven't finished eating them yet.

At this moment, I remembered that when I was a child, my eldest sister loved to eat cicadas. Every time she caught three or five, she would give them to me instead of eating them herself.

"This was a gift from a friend. I remember that my older sister loves to eat cicadas, so I brought you a bunch." Chang Kun placed the fried cicadas in his older sister's hand.

Chang Mei felt a warmth in her heart. Her younger brother had really become sensible, remembering that she loved eating cicadas.

I picked one up and put it in my mouth, it was so delicious!

It looks like it's been deep-fried. What kind of friend is this, so willing to use oil?

As the group chatted about everyday matters, Chang Mei turned to look at her son and exclaimed, "Oh dear, the kid got bitten by a mosquito! Look at this big welt!"

"Ptooey!" She pinched a cross on the mosquito bite and spat some saliva onto it.

"Sis, my nephew attracts mosquitoes, just like me."

"Of course, there are fewer mosquitoes during the day, but there are so many at night. You need someone to take care of the little guy and help him keep the mosquitoes away, otherwise his face will be covered in bites when he wakes up in the morning."

"Xiao Mei chases away mosquitoes for Xiao Bao at night, but she's always sleepy during the day," Sun Xiaohong chimed in from the side.

Chang Kun remembered that he had 10 mosquito coils as a reward, which he could give to his older sister.

He reached into the sack, pretending to retrieve something, and took out mosquito coils, handing them to Chang Mei.

"Sister, this is a mosquito coil that a friend gave me. I haven't used it, so I'll light it for my nephew. He won't be bitten by mosquitoes when it gets dark."

Sun Xiaohong's eyes lit up, and she slapped her thigh.

"Chang Kun, you're a real lifesaver. I heard from others that there's something called mosquito coil, and I even asked Wang Cuiqin to buy some, but I hadn't managed to get any yet, and you've delivered them to me."

When Chang Kun reached into the sack, he felt the large field rat inside and reached in to scoop it out.

"Chang Kun, why is there still food? You have a lot of kids at home, keep it for them to eat." Sun Xiaohong nudged Chang Kun's arm.

"Hehe, Auntie, my dad asked me to bring this." Chang Kun slowly pulled the large field mouse out. "Big sister, be careful, don't scare it."

"ah!"

"Ouch!"

Two screams came from the mouths of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

"This thing is huge! I've lived for over forty years and I've never seen anything this big before. It's practically a spirit!"

Sun Xiaohong's eyes widened, and she reached out to pull up the big field mouse's tail. "Xiaomei, look at it, it's almost as big as a rabbit."

"That's right, Auntie, you don't know, back then..." Chang Kun recounted his experience of catching the giant field mouse to the two of them, which stunned Sun Xiaohong and Chang Mei.

Neither of them could speak; the story was just like listening to a ghost story.

"My dad asked me to bring this, saying it'll be something new for my in-laws, haha."

Sun Xiaohong fiddled with the field mouse's large front teeth and nodded: "I bet his dad will be shocked when he gets back. Little one, you must have a knack for catching those field mice, right?"

Chang Kun was taken aback, then nodded and said, "There is a trick to it. I can pinch the ground mouse with my bare hands."

He thought Sun Xiaohong wanted to know how to catch field mice, and was about to explain it in detail.

Sun Xiaohong waved her hand and said, "That's right, your uncle, isn't he a security guard in the commune? He also has to protect the farmers."

Recently, for some reason, a village reported that their crops have been badly damaged by field mice. Your uncle has tried many methods, but nothing has worked.

Chang Kun blinked. His method of catching field mice was the most common one—smoking.

Everyone knows this method, but locating the exact entrance to a field mouse burrow is not easy.

Field mice have more than one burrow entrance; some have only two, while others have three or five, which is considered a minimum. If one burrow is missed, the field mouse will escape.

Only by relying entirely on the system's skills can one find all the field mouse burrows and catch them with smoke.

There's no way to tell Sun Xiaohong this.

Before Chang Kun could speak, Sun Xiaohong stated her purpose directly: "Look, go help your uncle catch some ground squirrels. If you catch them, you can get work points. Do you think that's okay?"

Chang Wei chuckled and nodded. It was a small matter; since the old man had asked, he certainly couldn't refuse.

Sun Xiaohong slapped her thigh and said, "Alright, I'll have your grandpa come find you first thing tomorrow morning."

He's been helping catch field mice in Qin Family Village these past few days; the crops there have been eaten away in large patches, almost completely stripped bare.

"Oh, I remember your boyfriend is also from Qinjiacun, right? That's perfect!" Sun Xiaohong laughed.

Chang Kun laughed along with him.

Qin Family Village, that's perfect!

This is a good opportunity to postpone Qin Meiru's marriage!
