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

It wasn't until Chang Kun took him up the mountain to hunt and fed him that he finally got to eat his fill.

Later, they even found him a job in the city, which gave him some confidence.

In his eyes, Chang Kun was like an older brother to him. When faced with a marriage proposal, he would immediately think of asking Chang Kun for help.

At this moment, Liu Meifen agreed to help, and Chang Kun gave her unwavering support, which moved Zhang Quhun to tears.

"Brother Kun! Auntie! I...I..."

"Alright, alright, just relax and have a good talk with Xiao Cui to see what her parents' attitude is."

"Hey! Auntie, go talk to my dad about Xiao Cui's parents, I..." He started to panic again. There was no woman in charge of the household, and this kind of thing was really not something a man could handle.

Liu Meifen blinked: "Xiao Zhang, are you really sure? If you get married and live at Xiao Cui's house, you won't be able to hold your head up high in the village!"

As an older generation, we still find this kind of thing taboo. We know that people's words can be a fearsome thing. We may not feel anything at the moment, but when we actually hear those harsh words, we will know what it feels like.

"Cricket, don't worry about anything, let's live for ourselves and not care about others!" As someone who has been reborn, he understands all too well how to live life.

Once I enter the pass, great Confucian scholars will debate the classics for me.

This statement is usually reserved for grand occasions, but it is somewhat appropriate to use it here as well.

"When we've made a good living, when we can drink and eat meat every day, and when we can wear one cotton-padded coat in winter, then look at those gossiping people. They can't even get enough to eat, like wild vegetables. Will they still be gossiping then?"

"Those people can only drool and envy us!"

Zhang Quhun, who had been feeling down because of the rumors, nodded emphatically upon hearing Chang Kun's words: "Brother Kun, I understand! I get it!"

Liu Meifen was still a little confused, but as Chang Kun said, it was better to live a good life in the future than anything else.

"Alright then, you two brothers have made your decision. I'll help you find out what kind of dowry Xiao Cui's family is asking for."

Zhang Quhun hurriedly pulled a ticket out of his pocket and showed it to Chang Kun like a treasure.

"Brother Kun, this is a bicycle voucher that I finally managed to get. I'll save up my salary for a few more months, then I'll buy a bicycle and deliver it directly to Xiao Cui's family."

"When the time comes, I'll just put this bicycle at her house. That way, they'll see my sincerity. I don't believe her parents will still stubbornly object!"

At this point, Zhang Quhun's eyes lit up, as if he could see himself marrying Xiao Cui.

A bicycle? Wow, that's quite a big spender!

Bicycles were not cheap back then; they were at least as expensive as an X5 in later years.

A bicycle costs a couple hundred yuan, which many factory workers can scrape together if they grit their teeth, but they can't really afford to buy one if they really want to.

The most crucial problem is that there are no tickets!

Bicycle tickets are among the hardest to obtain of all tickets; the demand is so high that ordinary people can't even see them.

Some people, unable to obtain bicycle tickets, try to buy one on the black market, where the price is quite different.

A normal bicycle costs one or two hundred yuan, and with the ticket, you can get it.

On the black market, you can only buy a slightly used bicycle for five or six hundred yuan. Want a brand new one? The price can be over a thousand yuan!

What worker would spend three years' worth of wages without eating or drinking to buy a bicycle? That's insane!

Is this life even going to work?!

Nowadays, many families have five or six children, and even the smallest families have two or three. They struggle to feed themselves, let alone dare to put up with all this trouble!

That said, Zhang Quhun is really capable; after working for a few months, he somehow managed to get a bicycle ticket.

It seems my time in the security team wasn't wasted!

Therefore, Zhang Quhun's act of taking out the bicycle ticket to buy a bicycle and deliver it to Xiao Cui's house was truly a generous gesture.

but!

Could things really be like this?!

Seeing Zhang Quhun's eyes shining, Chang Kun couldn't help but interrupt his daydreaming and pour cold water on him.

"Cricket, have you talked to Xiaocui about the bicycle? Was it your own idea, or is she thinking about it too?"

Chang Kun hesitated for a moment, but still asked what was on his mind.

He was afraid he was overthinking things, but he still couldn't help but want to find out.

If Xiao Cui actively requested a bicycle, which is a big purchase, it suggests that the girl is somewhat materialistic.

If they can ask for a bicycle now, they might make even more outrageous demands another day.

After all, at that time, the bride price for an ordinary family in the city was only thirty or fifty yuan at most.

If that's the case, Chang Kun needs to re-evaluate Xiao Cui.

Zhang Quhun used to be simple-minded and foolish, and now he's just an average person, unable to see things clearly at all.

Liu Meifen quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, Xiao Zhang, is it the bicycle that Xiao Cui asked you for?"

Zhang Quhun was taken aback upon hearing this, and an embarrassed expression appeared on his face.

"Auntie, Brother Kun, it was my own idea. We haven't even gotten to that point yet, so how could she make demands of me?"

"I thought that since I come from the countryside and my family doesn't own a house, I wanted to make up for it with the bride price."

"When the time comes, I'll park my bicycle in front of her house. I don't believe her parents will object then."

Liu Meifen and Chang Kun exchanged a glance and shook their heads: "Xiao Zhang, you're really willing to spend a lot!"

The fact that Zhang Quhun could produce this shows his sincerity.

But that's not how things are done!

Chang Kun sighed inwardly. This silly brother of his was still not very bright.

"Cricket, it's a good thing you didn't do that, otherwise..."

"What's wrong, Brother Kun? Is it wrong to deliver a bicycle?" Zhang Quhun sensed that Chang Kun and Liu Meifen's expressions were a bit off, but he didn't understand what was going on.

Liu Meifen was too embarrassed to scold him, but Chang Kun was not so polite.

"Cricket, do you think that if you just leave these things at someone's door, Xiao Cui's family will have no choice but to agree?"

Zhang Quhun chuckled sheepishly, "Brother Kun, that's exactly right! I've inquired, and city people don't need a bicycle as much as the dowry for a wedding!"

He was secretly pleased with himself, thinking that if he did this, Xiao Cui's parents would immediately agree.

"Still laughing!" Chang Kun slapped him on the head in an annoyed tone.

"You actually came up with such a stupid idea? I think you've got your head stuck in a door!"

"Huh? What... what happened, Brother Kun?" Zhang Quhun asked blankly after being slapped back to reality by Chang Kun.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm asking you, has Xiaocui's family agreed to your relationship?"

"You dared to send things over without my consent? Aren't you afraid of wasting your time?"

"If Xiao Cui's family is unreasonable, believe me, not only will you not get your bicycle back, but you won't even be able to continue your relationship with Xiao Cui!"

"Ah!" Zhang Quhun exclaimed in shock, hurriedly waving his hands. "I... Brother Kun, it's okay that the bicycle is gone, but I still want to date Xiao Cui!"

Chang Kun was so angry he laughed. This fool was so preoccupied with finding a girlfriend that he didn't even care that his bicycle was gone.

This kind of honest person is really speechless!
