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

"We got two cans of this food, one for each of us. This stuff is a special supply."

Beef was indeed a rare commodity at this time, and it became even rarer when it was canned. Ordinary people couldn't find a way to buy it.

Seeing that Chang Kun was quite satisfied with the canned food, Director Song looked smug, thinking that he would get more canned food when he had the chance.

For a long time, Chang Kun delivered meat to the supply and marketing cooperative countless times. Although he was given money and coupons, in those days, as long as there was meat, it was a great favor.

Director Song thought he could find some rare items to give to Chang Kun, so that they could keep the relationship going.

While weighing the boar, Da Liu laughed and said, "The director promised me that if you could deliver the wild boar today, Chang Kun, I would get two pairs of pig's trotters for the National Day holiday."

"Brother Liu, there's hardly any meat on these pig's trotters, what's the point of having them?"

People at that time didn't like to eat things like pig's trotters or thigh bones, which had little meat. When buying meat, they would pick out the big fat on the belly or the tough meat on the neck, just so they could extract a little oil.

"Hehe, my wife just gave birth to a boy, so I'm getting some pig's trotters to help with her milk production," Da Liu said with a simple smile.

"Congratulations, Brother Liu! Next time you hunt a wild boar, I'll save the trotters for you."

"Oh, thank you so much, Chang Kun. My wife hasn't been producing milk for the past two days, it's been driving me crazy."

Wang Cuiqin laughed from the side, "I knew Xiao Kun was a righteous person, but Da Liu was too embarrassed to speak up."

Director Song: "We all said we'd go home first, but Da Liu refused. His mother has been cursing him every day for the past few days, saying he's been working at the supply and marketing cooperative for nothing, and can't even find anything to help him produce milk."

Everyone laughed. Working at the supply and marketing cooperative back then was really impressive; they could find ways to get their hands on anything available on the market.

After weighing the money, Chang Kun didn't calculate the amount. He told Director Song to calculate the amount and give it to his mother later, so that she wouldn't think the family was short of money and that he was being stingy every day.

On my way home, I stopped at my uncle's house to inform him that we were moving and having a housewarming party the day after tomorrow, before slowly riding home.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, the girls rushed over to help Chang Kun lift the car.

"Big brother, Mom said we're moving the day after tomorrow, is that true?"

"Yeah, don't you want to move?"

The girls all shook their heads, their faces full of dejection.

Chang Qing spoke up: "We don't want our eldest sister to go home, nor do we want Xiao Shui to go home."

Children don't think about so many things; they just want to be with their closest people and play with their friends.

Chang Kun shrugged. His older sister couldn't live with him because her husband was going home soon, and he hadn't had a chance to properly cherish their baby.

Xiao Shui is fine, though. After moving to the city, her family won't starve her, and living with her sisters is lively. The only concern is that her aunt might miss her daughter after a while.

I haven't thought too much about it; I'll ask when the time comes.

"Line up, everyone, big brother, come and share the melon seeds."

The girls' eyes lit up instantly, and they swarmed around Chang Kun, gazing at him expectantly.

"Line up, the shortest one in front." These girls will be starting school in a few days, so this is a little training so they can at least line up properly.

Xiuer was pushed to the front, and she was very proud of herself. She shook her little head, put her hands together and stretched them out in front of Chang Kun, looking at him cutely.

"Big pot, make lots of it."

Chang Kun smiled. Xiu'er's hands are so small, even if she grabs a full handful of melon seeds, there will only be a dozen or so.

After the melon seeds were divided, the girls squatted down next to Xiao Huoshao and started eating them with satisfaction. Xiu'er wasn't very good at it, so she traded five melon seeds for Chang Qing to help her peel them.

They don't waste the sunflower seed shells after eating them; they just put them under the small fire.

"Hey, eat up! These are sunflower seeds, the best kind of sunflower seeds."

Chang Kun shook his head. These girls weren't stupid; they ate the nuts themselves and gave the little firecrackers the skin.

Once inside the main room, the old man squatted in front of the stove, tending the fire.

"Dad, you're doing this work today? Where are Mom and my older sister?"

"The mother and daughter are sewing clothes on the kang (heated brick bed). They're moving house the day after tomorrow for the traditional housewarming ceremony, so they're sewing new clothes for the girls."

Chang Kun nodded, took out some tea leaves from his bag, shushed him, and handed them to his father.

I brought home some special-supply tea yesterday, which I was going to give to my dad, but my mom confiscated it.

Chang Dashan grinned, wiped his hands on the hem of his clothes, took the tea bag, and took a deep sniff.

Carefully placing the tea bag into his jacket pocket, he gently pressed it down with his hand and asked softly, "Xiao Kun, where did this come from?"

"It was delivered by the state-run restaurant across from the supply and marketing cooperative. Dad, you'd better hide it well, or Mom will confiscate it and I'll be done for."

Chang Dashan glared at her: "She dares? I was only being polite to her yesterday and didn't bother with her, and she still dares to confiscate my things?"

On the east kang (heated brick bed), my mother and eldest sister were making clothes by taking advantage of the last bit of daylight.

"What are you two whispering about?"

Liu Meifen had heard Chang Kun's voice earlier, but he hadn't appeared yet, so she called out to him.

"It's nothing, Mom. I just went to my uncle's house and talked to him about the housewarming party."

"Hey, call your dad over, let him try on the clothes."

Upon hearing this, Chang Dashan walked to the east kang (heated brick bed) and asked in surprise, "You even made clothes for me?"

Liu Meifen glared at him, annoyed. "Didn't you say you're the head of the household? You can't expect everyone else to wear new clothes while the head of the household wears old ones!"

"Hurry up and take off your clothes to try them on. I've almost emptied the supply and marketing cooperative of all the substandard fabrics. Everyone in the family has new clothes to wear."

Ignoring his wife's bad attitude, Chang Dashan happily took off his clothes.

With a "thud," a small tea bag fell to the ground from the clothes that had been taken off.

"What is this?" Liu Meifen had a sharp eye and felt that it looked like the tea bag that Chang Kun had brought back yesterday.

"It's my tobacco leaves." Chang Dashan sensed something was wrong and quickly picked up the tea bag, secretly stuffing it into his pocket.

After being married for many years, Liu Meifen could tell from Chang Dashan's expression that he was feeling guilty!

"Take it out!"

"What the heck? Hurry up and try on the clothes."

"You want me to do it? Hand it over!"

Chang Dashan's face darkened. He slowly pulled a tea bag from his pocket, threw it on the kang (a heated brick bed), and huffed, "Here you go, I don't even want it!"

"Well, you're something else, Chang Dashan! I usually give you tea leaves to drink at the supply and marketing cooperative, isn't that enough for you?"

"This tea bag was specially supplied; I wanted to keep it to warm the pot and entertain guests. How dare you steal it?"

Even when things were tough at home, the old man never did anything like this!

Thankfully, he had hidden the tea bags in a basket under the roof beam, just in case the little girls didn't know what they were and ruined them.

I never expected that while I could keep out the little girl and the mice, I couldn't keep out this old man in the house.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She reached for the broom handle on the kang (a heated brick bed): "He who steals a needle when young will steal gold when old! You've only been working for a month, and you've already done this?!"

Seeing his wife about to use force, Chang Dashan glared at her and said, "What are you saying? Do I need to steal things from my own home?"

Seeing the elderly couple bickering, Chang Kun stopped watching: "Mother, isn't this the packet of tea from yesterday?"
