Reborn in the 60s, I hunt to support my family and even seduce the village beauty.
Chapter 71 Listening to the Radio
That night.
The group of people in the courtyard were drinking to their hearts' content.
Liu Tiezhu envied Chang Dashan for having a good son who brought his whole family to the city.
Zhang Quhun envied Chang Kun for returning to work in the city.
Even Liu Meifen drank a few sips of wine; she was so happy.
After eating and cleaning up, the group sat in the courtyard chatting casually.
The little girls, having thoroughly enjoyed their braised chicken, came out into the yard, licking their lips, and leaned against their eldest brother.
More and more people gradually gathered under the big tree outside the courtyard.
Chang Kun found it a bit strange. Usually after dinner, the villagers would go to the village entrance or the big tree in front of Liu Tiezhu's house to cool off.
Why did you all end up outside your own yard today?
Liu Tiezhu smiled:
"When they're working during the day, they all say they want to come to your house to listen to the radio."
Chang Kun slapped his forehead. "Fighting the black bear, changing jobs—I've been so busy today that I forgot about the radio delivery to the Cheng family."
He quickly went inside, brought out the radio, opened the cover, and saw that the batteries were already installed.
Gently turn the button, and a human voice comes out, it's Master Hou Baolin talking about "Night Journey".
"Oh dear, someone is talking inside the box."
Chang Qing cried out in surprise, ran to the octagonal table, looked up and down, and then bent down to look under the table, trying to see where the person was talking.
Of the others, only Liu Tiezhu had ever heard of the radio, and he seemed rather calm.
Liu Meifen, Chang Dashan, Zhang Quhun and others stared at the radio with their mouths agape, never expecting that such a small wooden box could produce sound on its own.
Chang Kun walked to the fence at the edge of the yard and called out:
"Grandpa, Uncle Wa, Auntie... come to the yard to listen to the radio."
Upon hearing this, the crowd outside the courtyard rushed into the small courtyard.
Upon entering the courtyard, everyone remained silent, cautiously watching the radio and listening to the crosstalk performance playing from it.
A short while later, everyone burst into laughter when they heard the story of the cyclist falling into the ditch in "Night Journey".
Seeing everyone laughing, the girls, not knowing what had happened, also forced a smile along with everyone else.
After the crosstalk performance, there was no interruption; the show went straight to the Peking Opera, which everyone was most looking forward to.
The moment the voice rang out, the laughter and chatter in the courtyard were immediately cut off.
Everyone craned their necks to look at the radio, as if trying to catch a glimpse of the opera singers inside.
Chang Kun drank some wine that evening, and gradually, the effects of the alcohol took hold, so he leaned against the wall and dozed off.
Suddenly, a few cheers startled him awake.
Then came a round of applause, and Chang Kun glanced around the courtyard.
Everyone in the courtyard was excited, even the little girls clapped their hands so hard they turned red.
"Great! That was a wonderful performance, even better than the operas performed in the commune!" the crowd exclaimed.
That's right. Those who can be broadcast on the radio are not ordinary people; they can at least be called celebrities.
As the opera reached its climax, the radio fading into the distance.
"Xiao Kun, why is the chatterbox so quiet?"
Aunt Wu wasn't satisfied with the audio, and since none of the others knew how to operate the radio, they had to ask Chang Kun for help.
"Fifth Aunt, they're resting. If you want to hear it, you'll have to come tomorrow. Come early tomorrow."
Chang Kun came to the octagonal table and taught Chang Dashan and Liu Meifen how to adjust the channels and turn them on and off.
The people in the courtyard greeted each other and dispersed. On their way home, they hummed the Peking Opera they had just heard, and the fatigue of the day seemed to disappear completely.
Liu Meifen carried the radio back into the house, took out a new towel and covered it with the radio, muttering to herself:
"This precious thing must not be allowed to gather dust."
Chang Qing pouted:
"Mom, why did you use my new towel again? You used mine to wipe the bicycle last time, and now you're using mine to cover the radio."
Liu Meifen glared at Chang Qing:
"Go use it with Xiuer. You haven't washed your face in three days, and you still have the nerve to complain!"
Chang Qing got angry, turned around and went back to his small east room, where he fiddled with the tin frog his older brother had bought in the dark.
When Chang Kun returned to the west kang, the little girl Chang Xiu followed him, clamoring for her older brother to hold her while they slept.
She enjoyed the braised chicken tonight and felt that being with her older brother was much better than being with her parents.
Chang Kun stretched on the kang (a heated brick bed) and checked the system rewards.
[Ding! Bear captured 1/1, reward: Bear Cake*1]
[The current host can sense prey weighing less than 280 jin (approximately 860 kg) within a range of 750 meters.]
[Ding! 1/1 wolf captured, reward: Seven Wolves Belt *1]
[The current host can sense prey weighing less than 300 jin (approximately 860 kg) within a range of 800 meters.]
Early the next morning.
Chang Kun, carrying his household registration book, proof of employment, and work quota certificate, rode his bicycle straight to Gulou Police Station.
At the village entrance, he saw Qin Meiru approaching from afar, seemingly wanting to say something to him.
Chang Kun didn't stop and sped past.
Ever since he caught a lot of prey, this woman's attitude towards him has completely changed.
They used to ignore me, but now they practically want to stick to me.
I'm busy with work right now. I'll play with her slowly once my family is settled.
Like last time, it was quite funny to scare her into peeing her pants with a snake.
Thinking all the way, I arrived at the police station office, carrying the royal jelly I had received as a reward for catching bees.
I gave my younger sister a spoonful of this last time, and they almost threw it up.
The young girls don't know what's good for them, but Cheng Jie, the police station chief, should.
This is a valuable product. A swarm of bees can only produce a few grams per day, and it spoils very easily. These days, it's extremely difficult to accumulate enough royal jelly to make a bottle.
This time, I came to ask Cheng Jie to help my family obtain a street acceptance certificate, transfer their household registration, and subsequently handle grain ration and grain book matters.
It's not right to come empty-handed after asking for so much help.
dong dong dong.
"Xiao Kun is here." Cheng Jie opened the door and saw Chang Kun carrying some things. He pretended to scold him.
"Why are you bringing things with you?"
"Nothing special, just some royal jelly I collected from a beehive I found in the mountains." Chang Kun placed the royal jelly on his desk.
"Wow, this is good stuff!" Cheng Jie carefully picked it up to examine it.
"My dad, your Uncle Cheng, got this jar four or five years ago. He treasured it like a precious gem. He couldn't bear to eat it himself, so he gave it to his superiors."
"It's from the mountains, it doesn't cost any money, so let's give it to the old man."
Cheng Jie put down the royal jelly and asked, "Have all the certificates been issued?"
Chang Kun nodded and took out the village certificate, household registration book, and work quota certificate, placing them one by one on the table.
Cheng Jie picked it up and examined it, then said:
"Okay, then you wait here. Pick up the tea leaves on the table and brew them. I'll go out and take care of these things for you."
"it is good."
Chang Kun nodded, but did not sit down. He walked to the wall and looked at the photos hanging there.
The photo appears to have been taken on a battlefield, showing a group of soldiers in uniform, holding rifles, smiling broadly, with plumes of smoke billowing behind them.
Cheng Jie finally returned after waiting for more than an hour.
He was carrying three leather bags, from which he took out three household registration books, work permits, and a small yellow booklet.
"Xiao Kun, everything is ready, the grain ration book is all taken care of."
Now your family has three adults who each receive 28 jin of grain per month, two older daughters who each receive 14 jin, and Xiao Changxiu who receives 4 jin per month.
From now on, you'll be part of our neighborhood.
"Go back and tell the elderly folks that they can just take these things and go straight to work."
Chang Kun looked at the little yellow book in his hand, filled with emotion.
Since my rebirth, I've always wanted to give my family a better life, and now I've finally taken a small step towards that goal.
The next step is to settle down in the city so that my parents don't have to travel back and forth between the village and the city.
"Brother Cheng, thank you so much."
Chang Kun was truly grateful to Cheng Jie. Without his help, these things would have taken at least a month to get done.
Moreover, having one household registration booklet divided into three is a difficult situation to handle. Fortunately, Cheng Jie is the director of the police station.
He was also taking a risk to help, and if someone holds him accountable, he could really be in trouble.
The more favors one owes, the more one accumulates; the royal jelly wasn't given away for nothing.
