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

I came out of the police station.

Chang Kun rode his bicycle to the Sixth Hospital of Beijing.

Chang Wushu's son, Chang Youfu, had his arm broken by a black bear. After his injury was treated, he was scheduled to be discharged from the hospital today to recuperate at home. Chang Kun happened to be passing by and took him back with him.

On the way, Chang Kun recounted how he had killed the black bear family and they were going to work in the city.

Chang Youfu fell silent.

He went hunting in the mountains by himself and was nearly killed by a black bear.

Chang Kun went up the mountain, killed the black bear to avenge himself, and even used the black bear to get three jobs.

Why are people's fates so different!

When they arrived at their doorstep, Liu Meifen and Chang Dashan were already waiting outside the courtyard.

"How is it?"

"Is it done?"

These three jobs in the city, along with transferring the household registration to the city, are absolutely the most important things for the family, without exception.

Chang Kun nodded and waved the leather bag in his hand.

"Let's go back inside and take a look."

The family of three came to the east kang (heated brick bed) and had the little girls sit in a row.

"Dad, Mom, this is the household registration booklet."

"Dad and Xiao Mu are registered in the same household, Mom and Xiao Qing are registered in the same household, and Xiu'er and I are registered in the same household."

Chang Dashan and Liu Meifen exchanged a glance, suppressing their questions.

They didn't understand why their son wanted to split the family's household registration into three separate accounts, but considering the significant changes in their family's life, all thanks to their son, they didn't ask any further questions.

"This is the grain ration book. The three of us adults get 28 catties of grain a month, Xiaoqing and Xiaomu get 14 catties, and Xiuer gets 4 catties."

When Liu Meifen heard the word "grain," her eyes immediately welled up with tears.

She remembered that in the spring, when there was no food at home and wild vegetables were just sprouting, she managed to dig up some wild vegetables and fed them to the little girls.

In the middle of the night, she was so hungry that her stomach felt like it was burning, so she climbed up the big locust tree outside the yard to pick locust flowers to eat.

She will never forget the feeling of being hungry.

Now, the whole family eats the city's rations and never goes hungry again.

Chang Dashan took out his pipe, slowly stuffed it with tobacco, and took a gentle puff.

He remembered his mother, who was looking at him longingly as she died, wanting a bite of white flour bun.

Even such a small wish cannot be fulfilled by the son.

Now things are much better; the whole family has moved to the city to get food. If only my mother were still alive!

Chang Qing and Chang Mu looked at the small yellow grain book with some confusion, not understanding why their parents were so excited when they saw it.

They didn't know that in those days, such a small grain ration could determine the life or death of an entire family.

It's about whether you eat tree bark in the countryside or eat government-supplied food in the city.

Why did Qin Meiru agree to marry him in the first place? Wasn't it because she wanted to transfer her household registration to the city and get a government-supplied food ration?

In later generations, that household registration booklet became the biggest obstacle separating urban and rural areas.

Various exceptionally talented and noble women, for the sake of such a thin piece of paper, also followed Qin Meiru's example, marrying the man regardless of whether he was a lazy bum or a good-for-nothing.

Is it a tragedy for people, or a tragedy for the times?

Chang Kun was also confused.

All I can say is, if you can't beat them, join them.

If you can't join, then stay away.

If you can't get away from it, just lie down!

The family looked at their household registration book, grain ration book, and work permit for a while, then carefully put them away, ready to go back to work in a few days.

"Xiao Kun, there's still more than half of that wolf left. I'll cut it in half and give some to your older sister and some to your younger uncle."

Chang Kun nodded, understanding what his mother meant.

The family of three was going to work in the city, and such a big thing definitely needed to be told to the eldest sister and the younger brother.

This is my closest family member.

"Mother, I want to go see my eldest sister too."

"Me too!"

Chang Qing and Chang Mu hadn't seen their eldest sister, Chang Mei, for a long time. They heard that their eldest sister had given birth to a baby, and they missed her very much.

Liu Meifen originally planned to visit Chang Mei with Chang Kun and also see her grandson.

Unexpectedly, several of the girls also wanted to go.

It takes one or two hours to walk to Changmei's mother-in-law's house. Liu Meifen can't ride a bike, so Chang Kun has to ride his bike to take the younger sisters to visit Changmei.

Liu Meifen then walked to her younger brother's house.

The family discussed it and decided to set off early tomorrow morning to visit relatives.

Chang Dashan and Liu Meifen went into the yard to divide the wolf meat.

Chang Kun played with the little girls in the yard for a while.

It felt a bit rudimentary to only serve wolf meat, and I remembered that there were plenty of wild rabbits and ground squirrels at the foot of the mountain.

Let's just wipe them all out at once, so they won't harm the corn seedlings there anymore.

The three little girls clamored to go together; they wanted to help their older brother.

Chang Kun thought for a moment, realizing that there would be no danger at the foot of the mountain, and then nodded in agreement.

The little girls were overjoyed, jumping and leaping, rushing to their older brother and kissing his face.

Before they had even caught any prey, the little girls were already clamoring to share some with their eldest sister and some with their uncle's son, Xiao Shui.

Several people wore burlap sacks on their heads for sun protection as Chang Kun arrived at the foot of the mountain carrying a hoe.

At midday, under the blazing sun, the foot of the mountain was deserted.

The little girls weren't afraid of the sun. Following their older brother's instructions, they collected withered branches and leaves everywhere to prepare for smoking field mice and wild rabbits.

Chang Kun had the girls light fires to smoke out the field mice and rabbit burrows, while he opened the burlap sack to catch them.

Xiao Changxiu followed her older brother to watch the excitement.

All afternoon, the shouts and cries of the little girls echoed from the foot of the mountain.

"Wow! Bro, two wild rabbits!"

"So many rats, and this one is white!"

"Brother, you dug up a lot of corn kernels."

As evening approached, the girls' hair was soaked with sweat.

They didn't complain of being tired at all, and their faces were always beaming with smiles.

This is how my older brother goes hunting in the mountains; it's so much fun!

It was not only fun, but I also deserve credit for catching so many prey.

I'll give some to my older sister and my uncle's daughter, Xiaoshui, and see how they praise me.

Chang Kun was carrying a burlap sack on his back and holding a small half-full burlap sack in his hand.

Chang Qing and Chang Mu worked together to carry a sack.

Xiao Xiuer followed behind her older brother, using her arms to help him lift the sack upwards, trying to save him some effort.

Passing by the village entrance.

When the villagers saw Chang Kun, they all greeted him with smiles.

At this point, Chang Kun was no longer the good-for-nothing who had lost his job.

Last night, when the villagers listened to the radio, they heard that Chang Kun had traded the black bear he had hunted for three jobs, and that his whole family could now work in the city. Their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

This is beyond their imagination!

While there are one or two people in each of the surrounding villages who can work in the city, I've never seen an entire rural family working in the city.

Many city dwellers are still unemployed and are suffering through long queues.

The Chang family has just entered the city and started receiving government-supplied food so easily?! It's unbelievable!

Many villagers who went into the mountains to hunt regretted their decision. If they had gone into the mountains to look for prey properly, they might have been able to kill the black bear.

At this point, it will be your whole family going to work in the city!

How lucky is the Chang family?!

That being said, work is not as simple as it seems.

The villagers had only heard that there were black bears in the mountains, but they had never seen one in decades, let alone killed one.

They only knew that Chang Kun traded a black bear for a job, but they didn't think about the favors he had to do with it.

In this day and age, let alone doing something this big, even if you just want to buy a piece of meat from a state-run food station, you have to ask someone for help.

Chang Kun led his younger sister home.

Behind him, the villagers at the entrance were still talking.

"The eldest son of the Chang family is carrying a sack; there's probably some good stuff inside."

"Indeed, it looks quite heavy."

"From now on, they'll be city dwellers who receive government-supplied food."

"Yes, sigh, why doesn't my family have such a good son!"

"Hehe, you forgot that when Chang Kun lost his job, you said it was a good thing he wasn't your son, or you would have been furious."

"Chang Dashan is truly blessed; his life has been worthwhile!"

As everyone watched Chang Kun leave, their hearts remained unsettled for a long time.
