Reborn in the 60s, I hunt to support my family and even seduce the village beauty.
Chapter 75 Good News Spreads
"Big sister!"
"Big sister, I'm here!"
Before the car had even come to a complete stop, Chang Qing and Chang Mu hurriedly slipped out and rushed to Chang Mei's side.
"Xiao Qing, Xiao Mu!" Chang Mei called out in surprise.
"Xiao Kun, Xiu'er, you're both here!"
Chang Kun parked the car, let Xiu'er out, and greeted his older sister.
Three little girls surrounded Changmei, clamoring to see the baby.
"Wow, the baby is sleeping."
"He can also blow bubbles."
The little girls giggled and laughed.
"Keep your voices down, you'll wake the baby, do you know how to soothe him?" Chang Kun stepped forward and shooed the little girl away.
"Big sister, let me hug my nephew."
Chang Kun took his nephew and carried him in his arms.
"Big sister, your nephew looks more and more like his uncle! Look at his little nose and little mouth."
Chang Mei smiled but didn't say anything, and put her arms around the shoulders of the girls.
She had taken care of her younger sisters when they were little, and Changmei missed them terribly since she hadn't seen them in a long time.
"Little Kun, what brings you here?"
"Hmm, good news. I just caught some wild rabbits and ground squirrels, bring a few over."
"Then I'll go call Grandma; she went outside the village to dig for wild vegetables."
Chang Mei told Chang Kun to hold the baby at home and wait while she went to find her mother-in-law.
The little girls, upon seeing their eldest sister, couldn't wait to stick to her, so they followed Chang Mei around.
Just three to five minutes after they left, the little nephew seemed to sense that the scent in his arms was different and woke up on his own.
He didn't cry when he woke up; he just stared at Chang Kun with his dark, round eyes.
"Tsk tsk tsk, call him uncle."
Chang Kun teased the baby, putting his finger into his nephew's little hand.
The little guy wasn't shy at all, and he even spat out saliva while grinning.
Soon after, a foul odor wafted out.
Chang Kun leaned closer and smelled it; the little guy had pooped.
At this moment, Changmei's mother-in-law, Sun Xiaohong, came running over quickly from a distance, muttering to Changmei as she spoke:
"Xiao Kun has never taken care of children before, how can you feel comfortable leaving Xiao Bao with him?"
Chang Kun chuckled upon hearing this:
"Auntie, my nephew is very close to me. He doesn't cry or make a fuss, but he has diarrhea."
Sun Xiaohong took Xiaobao, looked at his little face, and grinned:
"That's right, he didn't cry at all. Blood relatives, nephews and uncles are just different."
Behind them, Chang Mei held Xiu'er's little hand, followed by two maids, Chang Qing and Chang Mu.
"Big brother, Grandma gave us some groundcherries to eat."
The sisters' mouths were stuffed full, and they were also holding a few mushrooms in their hands.
The group went inside, and Chang Kun carried the large basket inside.
Sun Xiaohong changed Xiaobao's diaper, turned around and saw him, and quickly said:
"Xiao Kun, what did you bring again? I haven't finished the food you gave me last time."
"Hey, Auntie, there's nothing special, I made it all myself." Chang Kun took out the candied hawthorns and peach crisps and placed them on the kang (a heated brick bed).
The rest were meat and grain, which were moved to the stove.
"Brother, what did you hit this time?" Chang Mei asked curiously.
Chang Mei's mother-in-law's home in Yangjiatun is quite far from her own home, and the news of Chang Kun killing the black bear hasn't reached her yet.
"It's just a few wild rabbits, ground squirrels, and some wolf meat."
Chang Mei and Sun Xiaohong were startled when they heard this.
"Why are there wolves? Are you alright?"
Chang Mei reached out and turned Chang Kun's shoulder, looking him over carefully. Seeing that her brother didn't seem injured, she felt relieved.
"How come we encountered wolves? I've only ever heard of wolves in the mountains, but I've never seen one before."
Chang Kun took out the wolf tooth necklace from his pocket and handed it to Chang Mei.
"Sister, this was made from wolf fangs. It's said to ward off evil spirits, and it's best for children. Xiaoqing, Xiaomu, and Xiuer all have some."
The wolf fang necklace was finished last night and has already been worn around the necks of the little girls who have been eyeing it for a long time.
Seeing that Chang Kun was worried about Xiao Bao, Sun Xiaohong grinned:
"Xiao Kun, you brothers and sisters chat for a bit. I'll go get you something to eat. We'll have lunch at home."
Chang Kun brought a lot of meat and grain, and didn't stand on ceremony.
"Oh my, Xiao Kun, why did you bring so much stuff?"
Sun Xiaohong took a cloth bag from a large basket next to the stove; it was filled with soybeans and corn.
"Auntie, they were all dug out from the holes of ground rats."
"Oh dear, you child, with so many people in your family, you're just keeping it all for yourself..."
"Auntie, sister, I have good news to tell you today."
Sun Xiaohong and Chang Mei looked at Chang Kun, waiting for him to continue.
We've hunted so many rabbits and field mice, and even caught a wolf. Isn't that a good thing?
Next, Chang Kun recounted how he fought off the black bear and how he encountered the wolf.
She recounted how, after returning home, she asked her family for help in finding work, and how the whole family is now living in the city and receiving government-supplied food.
Chang Mei and Sun Xiaohong were confused by what they heard.
It sounds like Chang Kun is telling a story.
Nowadays, rural families are struggling to make a living by farming, when suddenly they hear that some people have gone to the city and are receiving government-supplied grain.
And that's not all; all six members of the family became city dwellers.
It's simply unbelievable!
Chang Mei turned her gaze to the three little girls.
The little girls didn't understand anything; they were only focused on eating ground cherries and lying next to their little nephew, making him call them "Auntie."
After a while, seeing that Chang Kun didn't seem to be joking, they realized that he was serious.
Chang Mei clenched her fists tightly, her hands trembling as she asked:
"Xiao Kun, you really didn't make this up?"
"Big sister, why would I come here to lie to you? Besides, my aunt is here too. I can't possibly make up a lie."
Chang Mei grinned, then her eyes welled up with tears.
She remembered when she was still unmarried, there was never enough food in the house, and the little girls would cry from hunger.
To save on food rations, her parents and she, as the eldest sister, always tried to eat as little as possible.
She would wake up hungry every night around midnight.
Now, my younger brother is sensible and capable.
The family went to work in the city and received government-supplied food, so they no longer had to go hungry.
This is absolutely fantastic news!
Sun Xiaohong was stunned for a moment. Her in-laws were all going to move to the city and become city dwellers?
My husband was the head of security at the commune, and it took him a lot of effort to get his eldest son into the city.
The youngest son also wants to move to the city, but hasn't had the opportunity yet.
It's unbelievable that now the whole family of Chang Kun's in-laws can move to the city because of his hunting!
She suddenly thought of something and laughed a few times:
"Xiao Kun, does this mean my in-law Mei Fen will be working at the same supply and marketing cooperative as my eldest daughter-in-law Wang Cuiqin?"
That's wonderful! Your family will be living a life of luxury from now on!
That supply and marketing cooperative is a great place...
When asked about Chang Kun's other jobs, they learned that he worked at a police station and a research institute.
Sun Xiaohong sighed repeatedly, marveling at how fortunate her in-laws were.
Life is getting harder and harder for people in rural areas now, and there is less and less food to eat.
Anyone with common sense can see that this winter will be very difficult to get through.
It might just be a major famine!
Chang Mei listened quietly, feeling that her younger brother had become very capable.
After a while, she turned to look at Sun Xiaohong.
"Mom, I want to take Xiaobao and my younger brother home to see Mom and Dad."
Sun Xiaohong was in a dilemma. Although Xiaobao was already a month old and could go back to her parents' home with Changmei, she was reluctant to part with her eldest grandson.
After thinking about it for a moment, I nodded.
With such a joyous occasion in your in-laws' family, as their daughter, it's only right that you go home to visit.
Chang Kun was overjoyed upon hearing this.
My mother often talks about my eldest sister when she's at home.
He kept reminiscing about the hardships his eldest sister endured as a child, saying that now that the family's circumstances have improved, his eldest sister can't enjoy the good life with them.
The little girls jumped for joy when they heard that their older sister was going home together.
"Big sister, let's sleep on the same kang (heated brick bed) tonight!"
