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

Chang Kun blinked: "Dad, Mom, things weren't confirmed before. I was just guessing that Director Zhu called me because of my aunt's trip to the state-run restaurant."

"Oh my! You're so patient! I have to go to your uncle's house."

Liu Meifen hurriedly stood up and was about to leave, abandoning the corn in her hand.

"Hey, what's the rush? It's getting dark. Where are you going to sleep at Meilin's house? Besides, Xiao Kun already said that things aren't settled yet. Don't cause trouble here." Chang Dashan quickly grabbed Liu Meifen's arm. This woman really does whatever comes to mind.

"I was just thinking of telling his aunt about this good news as soon as possible!" Liu Meifen glanced at her husband and rolled her eyes. "You're the least in a hurry. You're so slow at everything. It's a good thing our son isn't like you, otherwise our family wouldn't be living such a good life."

Chang Dashan: ...

I only offered a word of advice, and now it's become my fault.

Chang Kun watched his parents bickering with a smile. Before he was reborn, his family was never this lively; they were always worried about not having enough to eat.

After dinner, the family sat on a stone bench under the jujube tree to cool off, while the little girls ran around the yard with their toys.

"Big brother, come quick!" Chang Qing pointed to the sky, "Look, isn't that a firefly?"

Ah! It really is!

It had been a long time since he had seen fireflies. In Chang Kun's later years, there was all sorts of smoke and smog, and even though he lived in the suburbs, he never saw fireflies again.

"Big brother, please help us catch it!"

The three girls looked up and stretched out their hands, but they couldn't reach it at all.

"Okay, let's catch some and put them in the net; it'll look beautiful tonight!"

"Hmm, hurry, it's about to fly away!"

After leading the little girls out of the courtyard, Chang Kun chased after them all the way.

Finally, when the firefly flew a little lower, I caught it in my palm.

"Wow, bro, this is so bright!"

"Brother, let me help you carry it."

The three girls surrounded Chang Kun's palm, marveling and laughing.

"Come on, put it in the net, and we'll go catch more."

Chang Qing emptied his net and carefully placed the fireflies inside.

"Hehe, even without an oil lamp at night, we can see clearly."

Xiuer stood on tiptoe, her little face flushed with excitement: "Good sister, I'll help you get the net bag."

Chang Qing snorted, "You wouldn't even let me switch water guns with you earlier, and now you're calling me 'good sister'? Too late!"

Seeing that her sister refused, Xiu'er turned to Chang Kun and said, "Big brother, big brother, can you help me catch fireflies too? I don't have any in my net yet."

"Come with me, I'll take you to catch some." Chang Kun specifically searched for fireflies in the system's sensor. Although these little creatures were not common in the city, there were still some in the sensor.

As I walked out of the alley, I encountered familiar faces and greeted them with "Have you eaten yet, grandpa?" and "Auntie, are you enjoying the cool air?"

As Chang Kun led his sister past, the elderly people on the roadside whispered among themselves.

"Is this the newest one that's located at the very back?"

"Tsk tsk, I wonder what this family does, taking up such a big courtyard..."

"We don't know what his family does, but they certainly don't lack food and drink like we do."

"Huh? What do you mean? You smelled the food they were cooking?"

"Hey! What are you talking about? I'm not a dog! Think about it, if we don't have enough to eat, what kid would dare to go catch fireflies after dinner? They'd be asking for a beating when they get home."

The hushed chatter reached Chang Kun's ears. He just smiled slightly. These old folks didn't have any entertainment at night. They could talk about a dog for ages just by passing by.

It's just that my parents aren't familiar with this yet, otherwise they would have moved the radio out and listened to it with everyone long ago. These past few days, they've been listening to the radio by themselves in the yard, and they feel like something's missing.

"Big brother, there they are! Hurry and chase after them!"

The three little girls were much more enthusiastic than Chang Kun. They chased after fireflies whenever they saw them, and even when they were panting from exhaustion, they were still having a great time.

"Wow, we caught another one!"

"Big brother jumps so high, even fireflies can't fly as high as him!"

"Quick, put it in the net, don't crush it..."

The little girls chattered and laughed happily.

Half an hour later, they had caught twenty or thirty fireflies, and the net was filled with a bright glow.

"Is that enough? If not, we'll catch more."

"That's enough, big brother, that's enough." The three little girls were too tired to run anymore and squatted on the ground, panting heavily.

"Let's go back then, take our time."

"Okay, let's hang the net bag on the bed when we get back, then we won't be afraid of the dark anymore."

"Good idea, dear Xiaoqing, let me help you with the net bag, you look tired." Xiuer was still unwilling to give up and wanted to take the net bag.

"Okay, can I play with the water gun tomorrow?" Chang Qing took the opportunity to make a request.

"Okay, give me the net quickly." Xiuer finally got the net, opened it and looked inside, exclaiming, "Wow, these fireflies are so bright, and they twinkle like stars."

Walking back to Nanluoguxiang, the three girls stood tall and proud, like victorious generals.

"Wow, this kid's really something! He caught so many fireflies in such a short time."

"The little girls are going to have a lot of fun."

The elderly people on the roadside started talking amongst themselves, and the little kids next to them started shouting.

"Grandpa, I want fireflies too..."

"Grandma, let's go catch some too! We won't need to turn on the lights at night!"

They looked at each other, shook their heads, and smiled wryly. They had finally managed to eat something at night, how could they possibly climb up and down chasing fireflies?

When the children saw that their grandparents disagreed, they only dared to plead a couple of times, saying that if they said any more, they would get a spanking.

They watched with envy as the three little girls walked by with a large net full of fireflies.

As Chang Kun approached his home, he saw the one-armed old man next door, who had fought against the Japanese, sitting outside his door enjoying the cool breeze and humming Peking Opera tunes.

"Grandpa, have you eaten yet?" Chang Kun greeted him.

"I've already eaten, young man, what are you doing?"

"Hehe, the little girls in my family insisted on having fireflies, so I took them to catch a few."

"Wow, you caught quite a few. These things aren't common in the city, but they're plentiful in the grasslands of the countryside."

"You're right, it's indeed difficult to catch them in the city."

"Hello, Grandpa Hong." The three girls were quite polite and greeted the one-armed old man. Last time, he taught the little girls how to play the nine-linked rings.

The one-armed old man chuckled in response, muttering, "What a good little girl."

Chang Kun then learned that the one-armed old man's surname was Hong.

Pushing open the courtyard gate, I found my mother had already turned on the radio, which was playing Peking Opera.

"Father! Mother! Look what we caught!"

As soon as they entered the courtyard, the three little girls started making a fuss. Xiu'er held the net high, as if she had caught the fireflies herself.

The old lady only glanced at it and then ignored it. She'd seen plenty of fireflies; it wasn't anything special to her.

"As the eldest brother, you should just spoil them... Look around, who has the time to catch fireflies?"

Xiuer, not understanding the sarcasm, happily replied, "Mother, we have plenty of free time to catch fireflies!"

The whole family slapped their foreheads in exasperation...
