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

Picking snails made Xiu'er so tired that she could barely stand.

"Ugh, this work is so tiring! My back is killing me!"

"Where do children get waists?"

"Hmph! I have a waist, brother, what else could it be but a waist?"

"That's your little tummy, hahaha..."

Looking at the snails she had picked up, Cheng Min said with a hint of regret, "These snails have sand inside their bellies. They need to be kept in water for a few days to purge the sand. We're leaving tomorrow, so we won't be able to eat them."

Chang Kun waved his hand and said, "Want to eat this? It's easy, just watch me."

He grabbed a handful of snails, put them in the water and rubbed them with his hands, actually throwing them into his spatial dimension. He used the spatial vibrations to make the snails expel the mud and sand from their bellies.

"You've only cleaned the surface; the inside is still muddy and sandy, so it still tastes earthy."

"This shows you don't trust your own man. Have you forgotten how skillful my hands are? I can dig out even the deepest mud and sand. Do you have to make them gush water out before you believe me?"

Cheng Min was confused: "What? Snails can spray water? I've never seen that before."

"Snails don't spray water, but I've seen people spray water under my hands..." Chang Kun grinned mischievously.

"Oh my god! You're going to kill me!" Cheng Min immediately understood, her face flushed red, and she bit her lip as she splashed water on him.

"Haha, I'll let you try my technique again tonight!"

After some playful fighting, they collected another five or six pounds of medium-sized snails.

"Alright, let's go home and eat. Mom will definitely have dinner ready."

Xiuer touched her tummy; she was indeed a little hungry, but she was reluctant to leave the mountains.

Her older brother finally managed to take her up the mountain for a day of fun, but the morning wasn't enough to satisfy her.

"Let's go home and feed the big snails to the myna bird. The little gray dog ​​must be hungry too."

When asked about fun things to do at home, Xiuer nodded and got out of the water.

"Big brother, you caught so many big fish!" When Xiu'er got to the shore and saw more than a dozen big fish, her eyes widened.

Cheng Min was already well aware of Chang Kun's hunting skills, but she found it a bit strange that each fish was tied into an arc shape with straw rope.

"This is called the 'fish bow technique.' By tying the fish up like this, even when we get home, these fish will still be lively and jumping around, and they can survive in the fish pond."

"So that's how it is! Big brother, you know so much!" Whether she understood or not, Xiu'er's words were full of emotional value.

"Let's go home!"

On the trip up the mountain, we caught eleven squirrels, one giant snake, more than a dozen large fish, and eight or nine pounds of snails of various sizes, enough to feed the family for a while.

The funniest thing is that they also caught three baby squirrels this time. When Xiaoqing and the others get home, they'll definitely scream with excitement.

However, these three squirrel babies are too young; they would not survive on their own if left in the tree.

When we get home, we'll have to make them a small wooden box as a nest.

When they grow a little bigger, we can tie the wooden box to the tree and use it as a cozy home for them.

They packed their hunted prey into sacks, carried them on their backs, and trudged out of the mountains, their steps uneven.

The only inconvenience of bringing Cheng Min and Xiu'er into the mountains is that even though we have system space, we don't dare to use it.

The two of them were quite carefree, holding baby squirrels in their hands, one a little burden on the left and the other a meatball on the right, calling out affectionately to each other.

Fortunately, Cheng Min was watching over Xiu'er; otherwise, she would have almost fallen into a ditch while descending the mountain without paying attention to the path.

When I rode my bike back to the alley entrance, my mother was already waiting at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative. She spotted them immediately.

"Look at the time! They're not even eating!"

Xiuer jumped up to her mother with a grin: "Mom, look! Big brother caught it for me!"

Glancing at the baby squirrel in Xiu'er's hand, Liu Meifen frowned in disgust: "What's the point of bringing such a tiny thing back? It's barely any meat on its body, you can't even eat it."

"Ah! Mother, how dare you try to eat my burden!" Xiu'er put her hands behind her back, hiding the squirrel cub. "No one will eat my burden!!"

"What burden?" Liu Meifen muttered. "She's acting crazy, Xiu'er is becoming more and more like a boy."

Inside the supply and marketing cooperative, Wang Cuiqin heard the voice and came out to greet them.

"Xiao Kun, Xiao Min, where have you been?"

"Sister Wang, I went to the mountains and brought back some things. Oh, and Mom, could you go in and get a basin? I'll pour something for Sister Wang to eat."

Wang Cuiqin quickly dissuaded him, "No, Xiao Kun, you have a lot of people in your family, keep it for yourself."

"It's nothing special, just snails I caught in the river. I'll give two pounds to my brother-in-law as a snack with his drinks." Wang Cuiqin's husband is Yang Lijun's older brother, so it's not wrong for Chang Kun to call him brother-in-law as well.

Upon hearing that it was a snail, Wang Cuiqin didn't say anything more.

This stuff isn't worth much; it has a lot of shell and little meat, and it requires strong seasonings to cook properly, so generally no one sells it.

"Xiao Kun, you're too kind."

"Most of the things we did while going up the mountain were done by Xiuer and Xiaomin."

Xiuer said proudly, "Yes, I found the snails, and there were lots of big ones too, but my brother said the really big ones don't taste good!"

"Stop showing off, hurry up and go home for dinner. I've kept the food warm in the pot." Liu Meifen urged them to go home.

As the three left, Wang Cuiqin smiled and whispered to Liu Meifen, "Aunt Liu, look how well Xiaomin looks! I bet it won't be long before you're holding your grandson!"

Liu Meifen loved hearing this, and she couldn't stop smiling: "Oh, that's wonderful! After holding my grandson, I'll hold my great-grandson. I'm so lucky in this life..."

Back home, Chang Kun hurriedly carried the big fish to the fishpond and carefully put them in one by one.

The bow-fishing technique was effective. It took almost two hours to get from the mountain to home, and there were more than a dozen large fish wagging their tails in the fishpond, all still very energetic.

"Let's eat first, stop messing with those fish." Cheng Min placed the food from the pot on the stone table under the persimmon tree and called to Chang Kun and Xiu'er.

Chang Kun smiled. His wife really did look like a virtuous wife and loving mother.

……

While Chang Kun and his two companions were eating, Qin Meiru and her family of four, carrying a stack of yellow paper, prepared to go to their parents' graves outside the village.

Most people in Qin Family Village share the surname Qin, so they all have the same ancestor, but they are not close to each other and are not as united as other villages with different surnames.

Logically speaking, it's not a good time to visit graves after noon, but Qin Jianren didn't care, and Qin Meiru and the others cared even less.

The family would greet Shi Zhenxiang, a villager, whenever they walked along the village paths.

It's nothing more than the same few lines.

My daughter is getting married and moving to the city.

"My son-in-law is a railway policeman; he's really capable!"

"That guy is so good to my daughter, taking her out for braised pork belly, and he's even introducing her to his colleagues tomorrow!"

Later, Qin Jianren got a little annoyed with her: "Are you ever going to stop! Our daughter isn't even married yet, don't you dare provoke some family and ruin our marriage!"

"Yes, yes...you're right, Meiru's marriage can't go wrong...I won't embarrass her anymore!"
