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

Zhang Quhun returned to his courtyard and silently skinned the wild rabbit.

His father, Zhang Pianxin, nagged from the side: "Second son, why are you so stupid? You didn't get much meat from that wild boar last time!"

I heard they caught a whole sack of wild rabbits and a fox cub this time. You only got this one rabbit?"

"I just helped with the work; Kun Ge got all the goods."

"Where else can you find such a good job? You work half a day and all you get is a wild rabbit."

"Well... look what the villagers are saying, they all say you've made it big by following Chang Kun."

"Having wild rabbit meat to eat means we're more prosperous than before."

"I think you're just naive! How about we send your older brother to the mountains with Chang Kun? Your older brother is shrewd; he might get a bigger share of the loot." Zhang Pianxin tilted his head slightly, his voice sounding a little guilty.

"What?!" Zhang Quhun stood up abruptly, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at his father, panting heavily.

He was holding his breath, trembling all over, and unable to speak.

I never imagined that after working with Chang Kun for only a few days and getting some prey, my father would actually ask me to give this good thing to my older brother.

After a long while, he lowered his head, remained silent, and continued skinning the wild rabbit.

When people's hearts are wounded to a certain extent, they become numb.

He truly understands today, and has nothing more to say.

Eat the meat yourself, save the money yourself.

……

The Chang family ate stir-fried field mouse meat and wild rabbit meat for dinner, and also stewed the two small crucian carp that Liu Meilin had brought.

Chang Dashan poured out a small cup of wine, sipped it with relish, and said, "Son, your Uncle Yang is here to ask you to catch ground squirrels. Are you sure you can handle it? Don't let him screw you over."

"I can do it, but I wouldn't dare agree without a guarantee." Chang Kun didn't stand on ceremony. With the system skills, he was practically cheating; there was nothing he couldn't catch.

"Since our in-laws are coming tomorrow morning, we can stew the wild rabbit and stir-fry some ground squid meat." Liu Meifen was planning what to prepare to entertain her in-laws.

This is the first time the in-laws have visited since Changmei got married. We have meat at home, so we definitely have to treat them to something.

If it were a few days ago, when we had nothing at home, we could only serve some wild vegetable porridge to our in-laws when they came.

Thank goodness her son has become capable; Liu Meifen glanced at Chang Kun with a smug look.

That evening, there was fish and meat, and the little girls were so full that they slumped on their chairs, not wanting to move.

"Mom, how about I go to the riverbank at the village entrance tomorrow morning and catch a couple of fish to cook for my uncle?"

"This guy said that going to the river to catch fish is like going to a market, you can just go and take whatever you want," Chang Dashan said sarcastically.

"My son can do it, can you?" Liu Meifen protected her son; no one could say her son wasn't good enough. "Son, you don't need to go fishing. Just get some meat for your uncle, that'll be enough."

"Good girl, Daddy will lull you to sleep." Chang Dashan changed the subject and went to hug Chang Xiu.

"No... I want to sleep with Big Brother..." Little Chang, who was only three years old, already knew that he could eat well if he followed his older brother. He stretched out his oily mouth and kissed Chang Kun's face.

"Good girl." Chang Kun's heart was melting. He lifted Chang Xiu's little bottom and carried her to the west kang (heated brick bed), gently patting her to lull her to sleep.

Chang Dashan snorted, picked up his pipe, and walked to the threshold to smoke, his hands behind his back.

In less than five minutes, Chang Xiu fell asleep with her little mouth open.

Chang Kun tiptoed to the east room and peeked onto the small kang (heated brick bed). Chang Qing and Chang Mu were both asleep—they had eaten too much and were feeling drowsy.

Chang Kun pinched his two little sisters' cheeks, then returned to the west kang (heated brick bed) and hugged Xiu'er to look at the system rewards.

[Ding! 10/10 wild rabbits captured. Reward: 10 rabbit ear headbands.]

[The current host can sense prey weighing less than 100 jin (approximately 860 kg) within a range of 300 meters.]

[Ding! 10/10 pheasant caught, reward: one Texas-style braised chicken.]

[The current host can sense prey weighing less than 120 jin (approximately 860 kg) within a range of 350 meters.]

A headband?

This is exclusively for the younger sisters!

They would definitely jump for joy when they see it.

Dezhou braised chicken is much tastier than wild chicken. Wild chicken is less oily and drier, unlike braised chicken which is more moist.

……

I had a good night's sleep.

Early the next morning.

Liu Meifen lit a fire to heat water, took out the wild rabbit meat and ground squirrel meat that had been soaking in cold water, chopped them into pieces, put the pork in the pot, stir-fried it until it smelled fragrant, filled the pot halfway with hot water, and waited for her in-laws to arrive.

This is simply extravagant! Stir-frying meat with oil—in the countryside these days, who would eat like this?

As soon as Yang Shunong approached the Chang family's courtyard, he smelled a special fragrance. He sniffed and took a deep breath of the aroma. He was flattered by the hospitality of his in-laws. It was as if Xiao Kun had really become capable.

He heard that his former in-laws' son, Chang Kun, was good for nothing, just playing with cats and dogs, and was a lazy bum. He had even been fired from his job recently.

But the pheasants, wild rabbits, pork, wine jars, and piles of soybeans and corn that he saw when he got home last night, and finally the giant field mouse, still make him a little incredulous.

Chang Dashan was smoking his pipe in the main room when he saw his in-laws arrive at the gate of the courtyard. He quickly came out to greet them, saying, "Haha, my in-laws are here!"

The two entered the house and sat down at the octagonal table. They chatted and laughed for a while, catching up on everyday things. Liu Meifen served stir-fried field mouse meat and stewed wild rabbit meat, as well as a bowl of soybeans for each of them.

Looking at the several large bowls of food piled high on the table, Yang Shunong exclaimed, "Did Xiao Kun get all of this?"

Liu Meifen nodded happily, "That's right, you've made a lot of progress recently."

Yang Shunong asked Chang Kun, "Xiao Kun, do you think that method of catching field mice will work?"

Chang Kun nodded: "Uncle Yang, no problem, you can go whenever you like."

After having a meal, Mei Mei and Chang Kun and Yang Shunong set off directly for Qin Family Village.

Qinjiazhuang is very close to Kaoshan Village, where Chang Kun lives, only a ten-minute walk away.

"Chang Kun, the brigade leader and security captain of Qin Family Village will be there. Feel free to make any requests you have. As long as you can get rid of the mole rats, everything is negotiable."

As he spoke, he shook his head, "If we can't get rid of those mole rats, I'll have to report to the county security team."

"Don't worry, sir, do I need to give you a written pledge?"

The two chatted and laughed as they arrived at Qin Family Village, where many villagers were already waiting at the village entrance.

Many villagers frowned when they saw Yang Shunong and a young boy walking towards them.

They all knew Yang Shunong; he was the commune's security captain.

Could that young punk be the rat extermination expert we invited today?

In the crowd, Shi Zhenxiang spotted Chang Kun and, gritting her teeth, said to Qin Jianren beside her, "Honey, what happened to that little bastard? Go and beat him up to avenge me!"

Qin Jianren glared at Shi Zhenxiang. "Didn't you see Yang Shunong next to him? He's related to the Chang family by marriage. You want me to go up and beat him up?" This old woman of his has no sense of propriety at all.

Ever since Chang Kun exposed her lack of hair, Qin Meiru had been feeling uneasy. Seeing him again now, she was momentarily dazed.

Why is he here? Is he looking for me?

Why would you want to see me again if you treated me like that last time?

Chang Kun walked side by side with Yang Shunong, completely unaware of Qin Meiru's family in the crowd.

Two smiling villagers stepped out to greet them; they were Qin Dangguan, the village head, and Qin Baowei, the security captain.

"Welcome, Captain Yang, welcome."

Security captain Qin Baowei, a veteran, was much more straightforward: "Captain Yang, where are the rat extermination experts?"

"This is the man who came to exterminate the rats today, Chang Kun," Yang Shunong introduced, gesturing with his hand.

The crowd instantly erupted into noise.

"This kid doesn't look even 20 yet, does he?"

"Whose child is here?"

"You don't know? This is Qin Jianren's son-in-law."

"Oh, is that the kid who got expelled from the city and came back?"

"Keep your voice down, Qin Jianren heard you."

"Look at Qin Jianren's family, their faces have all changed, hehehe..."

Security captain Qin Baowei was stunned. He really didn't expect that the rat extermination expert they had invited was just a young upstart.

This is no joke!

The captain remained expressionless, as if he hadn't heard, and simply nodded to Chang Kun: "Welcome, welcome. Captain Yang's team will definitely be able to handle it. Make your requests as soon as possible."

No wonder he was able to become the brigade leader; it's not something an ordinary person can do.

"Just two people, a hoe, and a few sacks will do."

"Alright then... Qin Jianren, come to your house." Captain Qin Dangguan heard the voices in the crowd and knew that Qin Jianren and Chang Kun were father-in-law and son-in-law, so he felt it would be easier to talk.

Chang Kun: ...

Qin Jianren, Qin Meiru, Shi Zhenxiang: ...
