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

"Sister, brother-in-law, I'll ask around later. The job shouldn't be too difficult to arrange. Let's go to Auntie's house for a family reunion today."

Chang Mei beamed with joy upon hearing this, patting her younger brother on the shoulder: "I knew it! If we had gone to find Xiao Kun earlier, we might have already fallen behind on our jobs."

Yang Lijun also smiled. Since returning from his military service, he had been feeling uneasy because he hadn't found a job.

After being comforted by Chang Kun, he felt much more relaxed.

"Okay, then I'll go see Auntie together. Xiaomei, see if there's anything at home that we can bring."

Just as Chang Kun was about to speak, he heard a shout from outside: "Is that Xiao Kun?"

Yang Shunong walked in from outside and saw Chang Kun inside. He laughed and said, "I saw a bicycle outside that looked like Xiao Kun's. It really is him."

"Uncle Yang."

"Hey, Xiao Kun, something up? I'm having a couple of drinks with your grandpa at home this noon."

"Sir, I have something to do today, so I'd like to ask my sister and brother-in-law to go out."

"What's wrong? You've come all this way, how can you leave without eating?"

Chang Kun smiled and recounted his second aunt's story.

"Wow! This is great news!" Yang Shunong's eyes widened. In the past ten years, there have been many wars and so many people have been separated. It is truly a blessing from heaven that they can be reunited at this time.

"Then I won't keep you any longer. Go see your second aunt as soon as possible."

Yang Lijun tugged at Yang Shunong's arm and whispered, "Dad, how did your inquiry go today?"

Yang Shunong glanced at Chang Kun, and seeing that he wasn't paying attention, whispered in his son's ear, "That's a difficult matter, let's talk about it later."

Yang Lijun sighed and nodded slightly.

My father was the head of the commune's security team. To get a job, he swallowed his pride and went to the city to ask an old comrade-in-arms for advice.

Since he said it was difficult to handle, he decided to wait. As for asking his brother-in-law Chang Kun for help, he was not only embarrassed, but also afraid of burdening his brother-in-law.

After all, my mother-in-law's family had just moved to the city, so they probably didn't have any connections to leave.

Chang Mei had been listening intently from the side and immediately asked, "Dad, what's the deal with Lijun's job? Tell me about it, and let Xiao Kun help us out. He works in the city now, so maybe he knows some people."

"Ah, this..." Yang Shunong was even more embarrassed to trouble his in-laws' children.

Asking someone for a favor is not as simple as Chang Kun helping someone go hunting or collecting honey in the mountains.

"Uncle Yang, tell me about it. This is my own sister and brother-in-law. I will definitely help if I can, and I will just say so if I can't."

Seeing how honest Chang Kun was, Yang Shunong nodded.

"Sigh! Lijun has been back for almost a month now, and I still haven't heard anything about his job. I went to inquire, and at first they said he'd be assigned to the cannery, then they said they were full, so he was moved to the steel rolling mill. After waiting for a while and still no news, I went to the city to ask my old comrade-in-arms..."

At this point, Yang Shunong sighed, took out his pipe and took a few puffs before continuing.

"I asked my old comrade-in-arms, and he finally gave me confirmation today. As for Lijun's job... sigh!"

At this point, Yang Shunong sighed and fell silent.

"Oh dear, Dad, why do you always say half of what you mean! It's driving me crazy!" Chang Mei had just been wiping away tears at home because of Li Jun's job situation.

Almost a month has passed, and there's still no news about the man in the family finding a job. If this continues, we'll have no choice but to stay home and farm.

These days, farming alone can't fill your stomach.

Everyone with connections wanted to go to the city to get a government-subsidized food ration.

"Yes, Uncle Yang, if you have any difficulties, just tell us so we can all give you some advice," Chang Kun also advised.

"The main problem is that it's useless to say it out loud!" Yang Shunong said with a distressed expression. "My old comrade-in-arms said that the job he was supposed to get for meritorious service was originally assigned to the cannery, but someone else took his place. He found out that the person who took his place was the brother-in-law of some bureau chief!"

"Tell me, what can we do when our family has no power or influence?"

After saying that, Yang Shunong squatted down on the ground and began to smoke his pipe vigorously.

Yang Lijun opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but couldn't utter a single word.

What can I do if the bureau chief's brother-in-law takes my job? How can I fight back?

How could this happen? So unlucky!

He rubbed his head angrily; if his brother-in-law hadn't been there, he would have already started cursing.

Chang Mei didn't care about any bureau chief; she immediately started cursing, "What kind of lousy bureau chief dares to talk back on our work? I refuse to believe there's no place to seek justice!"

As she spoke, she looked at Chang Kun, trying to find a glimmer of hope.

Although I don't know how high-ranking the bureau chief is, judging from the behavior of the father-in-law and the man, this matter is probably going to be very difficult to handle.

It all depends on whether my younger brother has any ideas.

Chang Kun gave a wry smile: "Sister, reason with me? Do you think the bureau chief will reason with you? You probably won't even get to see him!"

"Then... Xiao Kun, is there nothing you can do?" Chang Mei knew that her younger brother was the most capable person in the family. If even he couldn't do anything, then Li Jun's job was probably hopeless.

Do we have to spend our whole lives in the countryside, dealing with the yellow earth?

They are always hungry and cold, and even the little one suffers because of them.

Thinking of this, she felt wronged and her eyes welled up with tears again.

Chang Kun pondered for a moment: "Sis, don't worry, I'll go and inquire again. Maybe the bureau chief thing is just a bluff..."

"Are you kidding me?"

Yang Shunong looked up at Chang Kun, then suddenly slapped his forehead.

"Oh dear, how could I not have thought of that? Director, that's such a high-ranking official, why would he want a job at a cannery like my Lijun's?!"

He's forcing himself to find hope after he's reached a state of despair.

Yang Lijun nodded in agreement: "Yes, logically speaking, the bureau chief wouldn't do something like stealing someone else's job."

Chang Kun chuckled coldly to himself. He had just arrested everyone at the Qianmen Police Station yesterday; the station chief would probably face either the death penalty or life imprisonment.

Using official rank to judge human nature?

Regardless of the dynasty, only a very small number of officials were able to uphold their integrity.

"Xiao Kun, you'd better hurry up and find out. Your brother-in-law has been waiting too long for this... I've told him to ask you about it, but he just wouldn't. He's so proud!"

Hearing from her father-in-law that a bureau chief was involved, and seeing the serious expressions on the faces of the other three, she felt uneasy.

Chang Kun suddenly thought of something and said with a smile, "Uncle Yang, brother-in-law, sister, this is easy to handle!"

Easy?

The three men looked at Chang Kun with hopeful eyes.

"Regardless of whether it's some bureau chief stirring things up or not, my brother-in-law's job is definitely secure."

Chang Kun spoke with absolute certainty!

"Xiao Kun, tell me quickly, what good idea have you come up with?" Chang Mei asked hurriedly.

"Hehe, big sister, I'll keep you in suspense for now. You'll find out when you see second aunt."

With the minister's uncle around, it's one thing for them not to bully other families, but how dare other families bully their own people!
