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

"Huh? What?"

Liu Meifen glanced at her son, then at the fuming old man, and picked up the tea bag on the kang (a heated brick bed), turning it over and over to examine it closely.

"Isn't this the same packet of tea from yesterday?"

"This was given to me by Director Zhu at the state-run restaurant today. I thought my father had never tried it, so I brought it back for him."

"Oh, is that so?" Liu Meifen smiled awkwardly. "Well, Lao Chang, you can have this tea. We have a packet at home to serve guests, that's enough."

"No! I don't want anything!"

"Come on, try on the clothes first. Keep the tea bag safe, and I'll get you a pack of cigarettes later." Liu Meifen said with a smile.

"Hmph, that's more like it." Chang Dashan knew when to stop; he'd gotten a free pack of good cigarettes, which was enough for him.

"I'll keep these cigarettes for when I entertain guests the day after tomorrow. You can just have a pipe for yourself." Before he could even be happy for two seconds, Liu Meifen delivered another blow.

Chang Dashan rolled his eyes. He thought his wife had suddenly become generous, but it turned out to be just this…

I was going to share cigarettes with my relatives and friends the day after tomorrow anyway, so giving him the cigarettes today is just two days earlier.

Chang Mei watched her parents bickering with a smile, feeling like she hadn't seen them like this in a long time.

In the past, our family lacked food and clothing, and the atmosphere was gloomy. Even if we wanted to argue, we didn't have the energy.

This feeling is wonderful; I'm humming a little tune and happily biting through the sewing thread.

After trying on the clothes, Chang Dashan finally smiled. Although the new clothes were made of inferior fabric, they were really comfortable to wear and felt soft against his skin.

"Dad, take this can and heat it up. We'll eat it tonight." Chang Kun took out a can of beef from his bag and handed it to him.

"Where did this come from? This is good stuff, it's beef!"

Liu Meifen and Chang Mei also looked up at the canned food. They had only heard of it; they had rarely even seen it, let alone eaten it.

"It was given by Director Song of the supply and marketing cooperative. There's only one, so let's just open it and eat it." Chang Kun was afraid that his mother would want to keep it for the guests, so he quickly pushed his father to the stove and grabbed a handful of melon seeds for him to eat.

Heating the canned beef briefly in a pan will enhance its aroma.

He grabbed another handful of sunflower seeds and threw them on the kang (a heated brick bed), letting his mother and eldest sister grab and eat them.

"You silly child, you're just eating sunflower seeds dry. It would be better to save them for the guests."

"Mother, you leave everything for the guests, what will you get to eat? We don't lack these things."

"That's right, Mom. If you don't eat, I will. We've been staying at home for so many days. If Xiao Kun doesn't bring home some good food, don't skimp on your own food." Chang Mei smiled, peeled two melon seeds, and stuffed them into her mother's mouth before happily eating them herself.

"Mother, eldest sister, please stop sewing. It's getting dark, and it'll hurt your eyes."

"Mom, my little brother has changed so much! He's become so considerate now."

Hearing Chang Kun's caring words, the old woman and her eldest sister felt truly pleased, and put down their needles and thread, taking off their thimbles.

The two of them were eating sunflower seeds and playing with their baby. The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the window onto their faces, creating a peaceful scene.

"Big brother, what are you cutting?" After finishing their melon seeds, the girls ran back to the main room and surrounded Chang Kun.

"Sweet radish, would you like some?"

"Yes, I want it... I want it too!" The little ones eagerly raised their hands.

When Chang Kun mentioned white radish, his parents and older sister all peeked over to take a look. They were used to their son bringing meat and vegetables home all the time, and he always said they were gifts from friends whenever they asked.

A green radish was cut into seven or eight pieces, and each little girl held a piece in her hand, making crunching noises as she bit into it.

"Big pot, I can't chew it!" Seeing her sisters eating so happily, Xiu'er took a few bites but couldn't even get the radish peel off, and she got a little anxious.

"Xiuer is so stupid." The older sisters, with radishes in their mouths, didn't forget to mock the youngest girl.

"Don't cry, your big brother will help you." Chang Kun picked up a radish segment, gnawed a small hole in the radish peel, and then peeled off the entire radish peel in a circular motion.

There's a saying from western Shandong that goes, "Yantai apples and Laiyang pears are not as good as Weifang radish peel." Eating radish peel alone, with its slightly spicy and fragrant flavor, is indeed delicious.

Some people love to eat radish peel, while others love to eat radish core.

Xiuer started munching on the radish core, her nose twitching with delight: "Big pot, it's sweet!"

I took a few pieces and shared them with my parents and older sister; everyone ate them with great relish.

"Oh dear." Liu Meifen sighed several times as she munched on a radish.

"We haven't eaten radishes for years. I remember when I was a child, we could just scatter some seeds in the field and leave them alone, and the radishes would grow just fine on their own. I don't know why they're not allowed to grow them now."

"Just eat your food. Even if there's good food, it won't shut you up." Chang Dashan works at the police station and has access to more information. He knows that some things are hard to say, can't be said, and dare not be said.

"Can't I even nag a little at home?" Liu Meifen muttered a few more times before reluctantly shutting her mouth. She had heard quite a bit of gossip at the supply and marketing cooperative.

Thinking about how the villagers work in the fields every day to grow crops, yet they still don't have enough food to eat and can only dig up wild vegetables to fill their stomachs, I felt deeply saddened.

Chang Kun tried to persuade her, "Alright, Mom, don't think about such useless things. We're not that capable; it's good enough that we can manage our own family."

"Yeah, there's no use thinking about it. Let's just eat canned beef."

"Canned food, time to eat canned food!" The little girls jumped and skipped around. Although they didn't know what canned food was, they knew that anything their older brother brought back must be delicious.

The can wasn't very big, but it was packed full of beef. There were eight people in the family, including adults and children, and each person ate two large pieces of meat with some left over.

"Big brother, this meat is delicious, much better than Mom's cooking."

The girls nodded repeatedly as they ate, saying they would have liked it if there was another can of food.

"You guys have some taste! You don't even know how many seasonings are in this, and it's beef, how could it not taste good!" Liu Meifen glared at Chang Qing, who was speaking, with annoyance.

"Go on, there are four pieces left, you can share them." Chang Kun quickly shooed the girls to the octagonal table. Whenever there was something delicious, Chang Qing liked to compare it with her mother's cooking. She was really too lenient to get a beating.

The girls happily shared the last of the beef, and didn't waste any of the broth either. They each took a small sip, finding it so delicious that they smacked their lips.

While the girls were eating beef and not bothering him, Chang Kun lay on the west kang (heated brick bed) checking the system rewards. He hadn't yet looked at the rewards from the last wild boar hunt.

[Ding! Wild boar captured 1/1, reward: 5 jin of braised pork intestines.]
