Reborn in the 60s, I hunt to support my family and even seduce the village beauty.
Chapter 73 A Change in Life
"Mother, Mother, we're back!"
Chang Qing and Chang Mu walked into the yard, threw the sack on the ground, and ran into the house to find Liu Meifen.
"Mom, we caught so many wild rabbits and ground squirrels!"
Chang Qing tilted his head back, hands on his hips, waiting for his mother to praise him.
Liu Meifen smiled and patted her daughter's hair. She knew that her son's efforts would definitely be rewarding.
Although she was somewhat prepared, she was still a little surprised to see the two bulging sacks on the ground.
The son, along with a few girls, caught two sacks of game in just half an afternoon.
"Xiao Kun, what did you catch?"
"Six litters of wild rabbits, a total of 14 rabbits."
There were seven or eight dens of rats, fifty or sixty in total, I didn't count them exactly, I killed them all.
There was still some grain in the sack.
Liu Meifen patted her son on the shoulder and praised him:
"My son is amazing."
Turning around, I saw several young girls standing tall and proud, and I reached out to hug them.
"My daughter is also very capable; she knows how to help her older brother with chores."
Chang Kun and his sisters washed their faces and helped their mother separate wild rabbits and field mice in the yard.
"Xiao Kun, take this wild rabbit to your Uncle Chang Wu. Your Uncle Wu has helped our family a lot before."
Take this to Old Zhang's family. Qu Hun has been running around the mountains with you these past few days and has been quite busy.
"Give another one to your Uncle Liu; his family will give him a few more ground squirrels."
Liu Meifen picked out the wild rabbits from the sack and distributed them one by one.
It's common for relatives and friends in the village to help each other out, but the Chang family has a large number of people, and they often don't have enough to eat.
Although relatives and friends couldn't offer much help, they would occasionally share some food with the little girl.
Now that Chang Kun had caught so many rabbits and field mice, there was no need to rush to sell them for money. He decided to share some with his relatives and friends.
Chang Kun agreed and took the wild rabbit and several field mice to Zhang Quhun's house.
Zhang Quhun, his elder brother, and his father were squatting in front of the stove, tending the fire and stewing wolf meat.
Yesterday, Chang Kun asked Zhang Quhun to bring home a wolf leg, and the three of them still haven't finished it.
"Uncle Zhang, I caught a few wild rabbits and ground squirrels today. Here, have some for you to try."
Chang Kun greeted Zhang Pianxin.
Last time, Chang Kun went to the mountains to rescue Zhang Pianxin and Zhang Buxiao, and the Zhang family still remembered it and wanted to find an opportunity to repay the kindness.
When Zhang Pianxin saw that Chang Kun had brought over wild rabbits and field mice, he instinctively stopped him.
It wasn't until Chang Kun said it was for Zhang Quhun that the old man accepted it.
After chatting with Zhang Quhun for a few minutes, Chang Kun left the Zhang family.
Zhang Pianxin, after glancing at the rabbits and field mice and then at his son Zhang Quhun, spoke:
"Second brother, look at these rats. Have your eldest brother take two to his father-in-law's house and call Laibao back, okay?"
His beloved grandson was taken back to his wife's parents' home by his daughter-in-law and hasn't returned yet; he misses him terribly.
In the past, Zhang Pianxin would never have consulted his son if he wanted to take field mice.
Even if the eldest brother took both the rabbit and the field mice, let alone the two field mice, he wouldn't consider his second brother.
It's different now.
The meat we've been eating at home lately was all brought home by Zhang Quhun, not to mention the time he and his son were rescued.
Zhang Pianxin gradually began to consider his simple-minded second son.
Zhang Quhun looked up at his father and elder brother, and seeing that they were both looking at him, he lowered his head and agreed.
When Chang Kun returned home, he happened to run into his father carrying a wild rabbit and a field mouse as he went out.
I asked around and found out that my dad was going to deliver things to Liu Tiezhu's family and Uncle Chang's family.
Seeing that he didn't need to do anything, Chang Kun stretched and strolled into the courtyard.
As dusk approached, the sky gradually darkened.
Chang Qing squatted in the corner of the yard, far away from her mother, holding a twig, and taught her two younger sisters to write their names on the ground.
Liu Meifen was busy skinning a wild rabbit in the yard, muttering to herself:
"We've only been able to eat meat for a few days, and you dare say wild rabbit meat isn't tasty?!"
You've all forgotten when there was no meat to eat, and you were all scavenging for food from birds and monkeys!
This meat weighs several dozen kilograms; in the old days, it would have been enough for you to eat for several years!
"And now you still dare to be picky?!"
After hearing this, Chang Kun understood. It must be Chang Qing who disliked the taste of wild rabbit meat; she was the only one in the family who dared to say such a thing.
If others heard this, they would think the Chang family were wealthy landlords who ate delicacies every day until they were sick of them.
Xiao Changxiu struggled to write her own name properly, which her two older sisters disliked, and she had long since given up on writing it.
Upon seeing his older brother return home, he cheered and rushed over.
"Big pot...hug!"
There are three little girls in the family, and Changxiu, being the youngest, is the most good at acting cute.
Holding the little girl, I could clearly feel that she was a bit heavier.
A few days ago, they secretly ate some pagoda-shaped sugar and pooped out a bunch of worms. Now their bodies can absorb nutrients and they are growing very fast.
Chang Kun carried his mother on his back, took out three pieces of milk candy from the system space, and stuffed them into the mouths of the three little girls.
They also knew they couldn't let their mothers see them, otherwise they would be nagged again.
He sneaked back to the east kang (heated brick bed) and picked up the tin frog for a competition.
Chang Kun lit the fire and added oil, preparing to make braised rabbit and stir-fried field mice.
My mother is reluctant to use oil when cooking, so she boils a big pot of water to stew wild rabbits and field mice.
No wonder it tastes bad.
Liu Meifen smelled the aroma of stir-frying and ran into the main room. Looking at the oily chunks of meat in the pot, she felt a little sorry for them.
Thinking to myself, this son is a bit wasteful; how much oil did he put in?
Luckily, he's a skilled hunter; otherwise, who would dare to cook like that!
Stir-fry the rabbit and field mouse meat and put them in a small bowl.
The little girls had already smelled the aroma and were eagerly waiting by the side.
"Big brother, your stir-fry smells amazing!"
"Mmm, it tastes much better than Mom's."
Several young girls were flattering Chang Kun.
Xiao Changxiu drooled as she stared longingly at her older brother.
Chang Kun took a few pieces of field mouse meat and stuffed them into their mouths.
The little girls' eyes narrowed; the fragrant and tender texture instantly won over their taste buds.
"Go away, go away. The remaining oil in the pan is just enough to make a pot of soybean soup. If you eat so much oily food, you might get diarrhea tonight."
Liu Meifen chased her son and the girls away.
Just then, Chang Dashan returned, and the whole family gathered around the octagonal table to eat meat.
Soybeans simmered slowly in a pot, while braised pork chunks on the table emitted a fragrant aroma. The little girls ate with gusto, their mouths greasy with oil.
Xiao Changxiu's teeth haven't fully grown in yet, and she can't even finish gnawing on the bone she's holding.
Her eyes darted around, and she stuffed the bone into her father's mouth.
He reached out and grabbed a piece of meat, stuffing it into his older brother's mouth, saying in a childish voice:
"Big pot, Daddy, time to eat meat..."
Chang Dashan, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, poured out three bowls of wine and said:
"Mother, son, there's no one else here tonight, just our family."
Let's have a drink to celebrate this special day for our family!
The three of them gently clinked their bowls together, took a sip of wine, and reminisced about the old days, their hearts filled with emotion.
The young girls were completely unaware that their lives had undergone the most important change as they transformed from rural people into city dwellers.
