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

"Hey? Chang Kun, something's not right. Xiao Yu looks upright and doesn't seem like a bad guy. What's your purpose in calling him?"

Lei Guohong was a little confused.

"Master, it's not enough to just have Xiao Lü save the damsel in distress. We need to let Xiao Yu go first, get beaten up, and then let Xiao Lü go. That's how we show his extraordinary bravery."

"Holy crap, junior brother, you're so cunning! You can even make a big deal out of a simple hero saving a damsel in distress!"

"Hmm, Monkey plays the bad guy, Xiao Yu tries to save someone but gets beaten up instead, then Xiao Lü steps in... This plan isn't bad, but what if Xiao Lü and that girl actually get together? If they see Monkey and Xiao Yu again, wouldn't that give them away?"

"Don't worry, Master. When we go on the mission, we'll just put some makeup on Monkey King and Little Yu, and they won't be recognized."

Hou Jun chuckled. This was something fun; he might as well be the bad guy.

Suddenly it dawned on him: "Wait a minute, junior brother, we're already getting makeup done, why are you making me play a villain? Can't Xiao Yu play a villain too?"

"Monkey King, I'm worried Xiao Yu won't be able to act properly. You don't even need to act, just stand there... Holy crap, Monkey King, you ambushed me!"

After watching his two apprentices joke around for a while, Lei Guohong said, "Stop fooling around, let's go back. Didn't Chang Kun say that after the female comrades finish filming, it will be our turn?"

"Uh, no rush. When I came over, Xiao Wang went to get the film again, so we won't be able to finish taking pictures for a while." Chang Kun was afraid that when he got back, everyone would tease him about taking pictures with Che Xiaorui, which would be embarrassing.

"Come on, Master, Brother Monkey, we're hungry, let's go get something to eat."

"Tsk, you're already hungry at such a young age? Didn't you eat breakfast?"

"That's right. I came to the office early this morning and knew that many of the female colleagues couldn't wait to take photos."

"What's there to eat at this time? Come on, Monkey King will treat you to some fried noodles outside."

Chang Kun shook his head: "What's so good about that? Come on, Master, Monkey King, I'll treat you to something different."

The wheat in the space is almost ripe, and the plump green ears of wheat look very pleasing. It is the perfect time to roast the wheat ears.

He led the two to the platform, walked along the tracks for a while, found some broken pieces of wood, and came to a sheltered corner.

"This will do." He pulled out two large handfuls of green wheat ears from his bag and waved them in front of the two of them, showing off.

"Holy crap, Chang Kun, where did you come from?" Hou Jun asked in a low voice.

"You can't just pick them randomly, or you'll be punished if you get caught," Lei Guohong said seriously.

"Don't worry, this stuff is absolutely legitimate. Don't you think I'd go to the trouble of stealing a few ears of wheat?"

Lei Guohong and Hou Jun nodded in agreement. That was true; given Chang Kun's hunting skills, he really wouldn't stole anything.

He took out a lighter and lit the wood chips, which made Hou Jun envious. He was reluctant to use even matches, but his junior brother Chang Kun was using a lighter!

Each of the three held a handful of wheat ears and roasted them over the fire.

The wisps of smoke carrying the aroma of wheat rose gently, the smell was truly enticing.

After being turned over the fire several times, the green wheat husks gradually turned black from the smoke, and the plump wheat grains swelled up, cracking open with small openings.

Hou Jun couldn't wait any longer. He rubbed the wheat ears back and forth in his palms, and the charred husks and awns fell off, revealing the milky yellow wheat grains.

"Mmm—it's so delicious!"

He stuffed a handful of wheat grains into his mouth, his eyes squinting as he ate.

"It's been so many years since I've had this stuff, I really miss it." Lei Guohong rubbed out the wheat grains, nibbling them into his mouth one by one and chewing slowly.

This guy isn't expecting to be full; for him, it's just about the feeling of eating.

Chang Kun rubbed all the wheat grains together, put a handful into his mouth, and with a gentle bite, the sweet juice mixed with the smoky aroma of charcoal exploded on his tongue.

This flavor, though not the most exquisite, evokes the most profound memories.

After finishing the roasted green wheat, the three of them had their hands covered in black ash. They grabbed a handful of grass to wipe themselves clean and hurried back.

During the National Day holiday, one can only steal moments of leisure amidst the busyness; it's impossible to stay idle forever.

Hou Jun's lips were covered in black ash. Neither Chang Kun nor Lei Guohong reminded him. It was because he was in such a hurry that he stuffed the green wheat into his mouth without rubbing it clean.

Back at the police compound, the women hadn't finished taking photos yet. When they saw the three of them return, they covered their mouths and laughed as they looked at Hou Jun.

Chang Kun and Lei Guohong kept their eyes straight ahead, pretending they knew nothing.

Hou Jun scratched his head: "What's going on? I feel like they're all looking at me. Did I become more handsome today?"

On the way back to the office, everyone smiled at Hou Jun, and he grinned back.

"Everyone greeted me today, hehe, I'm really popular."

A few minutes later, Lao Zeng, Xiao Yu, and Xiao Lü also returned to the office.

"Monkey, what did you steal to eat?"

"What do you mean by stealing food? What could you possibly have to eat!" Hou Jun scratched his head, wondering where he had given himself away.

"Still not admitting it! Your mouth's like it's been chewed on a sparrow! Xiao Yu, go, let's give him a good beating!"

With a sneer, Lü Jiawei stepped forward and tied Hou Jun up.

"Damn it, Xiao Lü, you bastard! I was actually trying to help you pursue that girl, and you dare treat me like this?!"

Upon hearing this, Lü Jiawei quickly released Hou Jun and pulled out a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes from his pocket: "Brother Monkey, Brother Monkey, it was my fault, please forgive me..."

Everyone shook their heads and chuckled. This young Lü was quite the man of flexibility.

He's willing to lose all his pride just to get a wife.

Hou Jun looked in a mirror and saw a ring of black ash around his mouth. He laughed at himself first, then turned around and pretended to complain.

"Master, junior brother, didn't you two warn me? You just wanted to see me make a fool of myself, didn't you?"

"Hahaha……"

Laughter erupted again in the office.

"Hey, Monkey King, what's the solution? Stop keeping me in suspense!" Xiao Lü was so anxious he was scratching his head.

Hou Jun looked at Chang Kun, and seeing that he nodded, he recounted the story of the three of them staging a series of heroic rescues of the damsel in distress.

Xiao Lü's eyes lit up: "This is great, this is perfect! My temperament is just right to be a hero!"

Old Zeng laughed and scolded, "Having a disciple as shameless as you is enough to make me lose five years of my life!"

"Chang Kun, Monkey King, Xiao Yu, I am deeply grateful. As long as I can get a wife, I will do whatever you ask." Lu Jiawei imitated the mannerisms in the opera, curtsying and clasping his hands in a respectful manner.

"Come on, just be the hero and don't actually beat me up..."

"Brother Monkey, you are my benefactor, how could I really fight you? I'll circle around like this, you'll dodge like this, and then...like this..."

Lü Jiawei pulled Hou Jun and Xiao Yu to a corner of the office to rehearse, just in case something went wrong.

Lei Guohong and Lao Zeng exchanged a glance and sighed in unison. This marriage of Xiao Lü is really causing trouble. He's deceiving the girl like this; I hope he doesn't cause any problems.

Chang Kun suddenly realized a crucial question: "Xiao Lü, are you sure you can get that girl out? Don't let us make these wild plans and then mess things up..."

Lu Jiawei hesitated, opening his mouth slightly, "Huh? This... I..."

"Damn it, Xiao Lü, are we playing house with you here?" Hou Jun stepped forward and slapped him on the head.
