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

The family entered the house. Sun Xiulan busied herself pouring water, while Cheng Rongjiang put down the newspaper, sat down in a chair, and chatted with Chang Kun for a few minutes.

As they chatted, Cheng Rongjiang asked, "Xiao Kun, what brings you here so late?"

Chang Kun, holding a water glass, smiled and said, "I'm going back to work tomorrow, and I happened to have some free time today, so I came to visit."

"Tomorrow?" Sun Xiulan paused, holding the kettle, her face full of surprise. "Wasn't the honeymoon supposed to last another week? Why is it being moved up?"

Cheng Min chimed in from the side, "Duan is busy, let him go back and help."

Cheng Rongjiang nodded, not asking any further questions, but sighed, "Being busy is a good thing, but this wedding leave... what a pity. Once I start working, I won't have such a long leave anymore."

Sun Xiulan put down the kettle, sat down in the chair, and sighed, "That's right, once I start working, I'm busy every day. I finally got a long holiday, but I had to go back before it was over."

Chang Kun smiled but didn't explain much.

Cheng Xin, who was overhearing this, leaned over and asked, "Brother-in-law, you're going back to work tomorrow? Will you still be able to take me out to play then?"

"We'll talk about it on the weekend." Chang Kun rubbed his head.

Xiuer was playing with Cheng Xin when she heard this. She looked up and asked, "Big brother, does that mean you won't be able to stay home every day anymore?"

Chang Kun glanced at her: "I'm not home every day anyway."

Sun Xiulan got up and went to the kitchen, saying she was going to make them something to eat, and Cheng Min followed to help. The mother and daughter busied themselves in the kitchen, and soon the sound of spatulas echoed from the stove.

Cheng Rongjiang said, "Be more careful about work-related matters."

Chang Kun nodded: "Understood, Father."

Sun Xiulan and Cheng Min busied themselves in the kitchen for a while and brought out a pot of steaming soup.

Chang Kun peeked inside and saw that it was egg and scallion soup. Golden egg flowers floated on the soup noodles, sprinkled with bright green scallions, and the aroma wafted straight into his nose.

These days, being able to have a bowl of egg drop soup is considered a good treat for guests.

"Come, come, everyone have a bowl to warm yourselves up." Sun Xiulan took a spoon and ladled out bowls one by one, first handing them to Chang Kun, then to Cheng Rongjiang, then to Xiuer, Cheng Min, and Cheng Xin, and finally took a bowl for herself and sat down on the chair.

Chang Kun held the bowl, blew on it to cool it down, took a sip, and gasped because it was so hot, but still smiled and said, "Mother's soup is really good."

Sun Xiulan was embarrassed by his praise and waved her hand, saying, "It's just a few eggs, how delicious can it be? You're such a smooth talker."

The whole family laughed and slurped down their soup.

Xiuer sat on a small stool, holding the bowl and sipping it slowly, hissing from the heat, but reluctant to put it down.

Chang Kun took a few sips, and when no one was paying attention, he took out the half of the Human Strengthening Pill from his spatial storage, crushed it, and quietly sprinkled it into Sun Xiulan's bowl.

The powder dissolved instantly in the soup, leaving no trace. He calmly put down the bowl and filled it halfway for himself.

Sun Xiulan knew nothing, holding the bowl and drinking sip by sip, chatting with Cheng Min about everyday matters.

When she reached the bottom of the bowl, she smacked her lips and said, "Why does this soup taste a little different today?"

Cheng Min was taken aback: "How is it different?"

"I can't really explain it, it just... comes to mind." Sun Xiulan smiled, put down the bowl, and didn't think much of it.

Chang Kun sat opposite her, discreetly observing his mother-in-law's expression.

When Sun Xiulan was brought back from Guangzhou a few days ago, her face was pale, her lips were white, and she had dark circles under her eyes. She looked like she had lost her health.

Over the years in rural Guangzhou, they were always hungry and cold, and they also had to raise Cheng Xin. Their bodies were worn out long ago.

But now, looking at her again, her complexion seemed a little rosier than before. Although it wasn't obvious, Chang Kun dealt with the system every day, so he was much more sensitive to changes in her energy and spirit than the average person.

Sun Xiulan's eyes were no longer dry and sallow, her lips had regained some color, and even her voice was brighter than when she first entered the room.

Half a Human Strengthening Pill won't produce immediate results, but it can replenish the depleted Qi and blood. The rest can be taken care of gradually.

Chang Kun lowered his head and took a sip of soup, feeling much more at ease.

After finishing his soup, Cheng Rongjiang put down the bowl, glanced at Sun Xiulan, and suddenly said, "Xiulan, you look great today."

Sun Xiulan touched her face and smiled, "Really? Maybe it's because my daughter is back and I'm happy."

Cheng Min laughed beside her, reaching out to take her mother's arm. Xiu'er finished her soup, held the bowl high, and shouted, "I want more!"

The whole family laughed. Chang Kun leaned back in his chair, looking at the family. The pent-up frustration in his heart was completely washed away by the bowl of hot soup.

Back home, before going to sleep, Chang Kun had a sudden thought and entered his spatial dimension.

In the system space, large swaths of sweet potatoes and potatoes are growing vigorously, with lush green vines covering the ground and the tubers underneath causing the soil to crack.

Thanks to the acceleration of space, a batch can ripen in three or four days, which is many times faster than outside.

Half the space was already piled high with the harvested fruits: red sweet potatoes and golden potatoes, like small hills.

Each sweet potato was heavy and quite large.

This thing wouldn't be anything special in normal years, but at this critical juncture, it's a lifesaver.

The ten sacks I delivered to the village a few days ago were just the tip of the iceberg. The amount stored in my storage space is enough to feed the entire village for several years.

He looked at the newly planted rice seedlings again; in three or four days, another batch would be ready.

Sweet potatoes and potatoes are durable and won't spoil even if piled up in a space. As you keep harvesting them, the amount of food will only increase.

Having withdrawn her mind from the space, Cheng Min had already closed her eyes.

She was really afraid of Chang Kun, afraid that he would come and torment her again at night. The swelling hadn't gone down in the last two days, and she couldn't bear it if he came again. So she lay in bed and quickly pretended to be asleep.

Chang Kun smiled, reached out and shook her hand. He wasn't a teddy bear; he wouldn't think about that kind of thing every day.

I have to go to work tomorrow. The new section chief is here, and I don't know what the rules will be.

But no matter what, with food at home, he felt secure. No matter how chaotic things were outside, he could hold onto this small plot of land.

The next morning, Chang Kun tidied himself up, changed into clean clothes, and pushed his bicycle out the door.

The autumn morning breeze was chilly, making his neck feel tight. He pulled his collar up and got on his bike to head to the railway section.

When I arrived at my workplace, I ran into Hou Jun as soon as I entered the compound.

Hou Jun was carrying an enamel mug and was coming from the cafeteria when he saw Chang Kun. He paused for a moment and slowed his pace.

"Brother Kun? What brings you here again?"

"Starting work today." Chang Kun propped up his bicycle and locked it.

He carried the jar to Chang Kun's side and lowered his voice: "You know?"

Chang Kun nodded: "The section chief already told me."

"Damn it! That scoundrel is here today! He couldn't wait even a day longer!"

"Which scoundrel?"

"Who else could it be? The new section chief! Damn it!"
