The hunter's leisurely life begins with marrying a female educated youth.

Mother Chen Wan entered the main room.

"What were you two talking about just now? I saw Han Zhiqing run out with a red face."

Zhang Yun smiled, walked up to Chen Wan, and said mysteriously, "Mom, you're going to be a mother-in-law."

After saying that, Zhang Yun also left the main room; he had to go to work.

mother-in-law?

Chen Wan was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized what was going on and hurriedly tried to chase after him to find out what was going on.

"You brat, when did you manage to win over Han Zhiqing?"

Chen Wan said with a smile, went into the inner room, tidied up, and then went to the Old Camphor Tree Square.

Zhang Yun's family consists of Zhang Zhongli as her father, Chen Wan as her mother, and her eldest sister Zhang Fen and second sister Zhang Fang, who are both married. Zhang Yun is the third child in the family, and she also has a fourth sister Zhang Yanhong and a fifth sister Zhang Yanli.

Zhang Yun is 21 this year, her fourth sister is 20, and her fifth sister is 19. According to regulations, they are all adults.

Since we are adults, we should go to work and do chores.

In the past, only the parents worked to raise their five children, which was an extremely difficult time.

After the eldest sister Zhang Fen and the second sister Zhang Fang grew up, the family was in debt, so the two sisters got married early and the dowry money was used to pay off part of the debt.

Zhang Yun's family still owes a debt.

This is why Zhang Yun rejected Han Xuemei in his previous life; he was simply too poor and dared not delay Han Xuemei's life.

Qushui originates from Siming Mountain, with nine bends in its upper reaches, and Jiuwan Village is located in the area of ​​the ninth bend.

The river's flow has created vast plains along both banks of Jiuwan Village, providing fertile natural farmland.

The villagers of Jiuwan Village live in a relatively concentrated area. At the entrance of the village, there is an old camphor tree with a trunk that is so thick that it takes five people to encircle it. As a result, the branches of this old camphor tree spread out and cover a wide area, forming a large open and shady area.

As a result, this place became the daily gathering place for the villagers of Jiuwan Village, and the production team named it Old Camphor Tree Square.

At this moment, all the members of the production team in Jiuwan Village arrived.

Jiuwan Village has nearly two hundred households in total. About thirty households are organized into a production team, and each production team is divided into one hundred laborers.

There were six production teams in total, which formed six groups.

The brigade leader, Zhang Youwei, was tall with a square face and a serious demeanor. He had previously participated in the battle against the Indians and later returned to the village after being demobilized, becoming the brigade leader of the Jiuwan Village Production Brigade in Qushui Commune.

Naturally, Zhang Youwei was a powerful figure in the village with extremely high prestige.

Zhang Youwei stood at the base of the old camphor tree, glanced at all the commune members, paused deliberately, and thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention.

"Comrades, everyone is here, and everyone is very motivated to work. I am very happy."

“Yesterday, some commune members reported that wild snakes were appearing in the fields near Songshushan, and some commune members also discovered rat holes. In addition, some sweet potato fields near Shitoushan were eaten by wild rabbits.”

"In the afternoon, the female commune members went to the rice paddies to pull weeds, while the male commune members cut fish grass, dug irrigation ditches, and carried water, continuing the work from the morning."

"I need ten more male members to volunteer. These ten people will be responsible for catching snakes, rats, and rabbits."

"Now, any male member who wants to sign up for this animal-catching job, please raise your hand immediately. I want to emphasize that you must be agile and brave. Don't just raise your hand randomly, because catching snakes, mice, and rabbits is not easy and you can easily get hurt."

With just a few words, Zhang Youwei had already assigned the afternoon's tasks.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yun immediately raised his hand. Looking around, he was the first to raise his hand.

Almost simultaneously, a large number of male members also raised their right hands.

This was the era of collective production, where everyone ate from the same pot. The country was facing a food shortage, and the allocated portions were meager. Meat, in particular, was extremely scarce; being able to eat meat even once a month was a cause for celebration for days.

Catching snakes, rats, and rabbits does require courage and physical strength, but once you catch them, they're all meat.

Of course, once these wild animals were caught, most of them had to be handed over to the production team and cooked in the village canteen, so that everyone could share some.

However, the production team would certainly praise members who caught a large number of wild animals and reward them with extra pieces of meat, which would improve their family's meals.

Looking around, Zhang Youwei saw that more than twenty people had raised their hands.

So Zhang Youwei decisively raised his hand, pointed at the line, and shouted, "Zhang Yun, you're the first to raise your hand, come out here."

"Zhang Jiankang and Zhang Bingqiang from Team One, come out here."

"Sun Fugui from the second team, come out."

"Yang Dazhu from Team Three, come out."

"Zhang Yimu and Zhang Erlin from Team Four, come out."

"Zhang Jiwu from Team Five, come out."

"Zhang Jianxin and Sun Zhengwen from Team Six, come out."

The ten people whose names were called quickly left the line and stood on either side of Zhang Youwei, each one looking very proud and smug.

The Zhang family makes up 80% of the residents in Jiuwan Village, along with the Sun and Yang families. Zhang Youwei called out these ten people after considering their population share, physical strength, and past work performance—basically, taking care of all aspects.

Standing in the ranks, Zhang Yun secretly admired Zhang Youwei. No wonder he could hold onto the position of battalion commander; he was indeed quite capable.

Sure enough, when these ten people came out, the other male members who had also raised their hands did not voice any objections, whether because of Zhang Youwei's authority or because they compared their own conditions with those of these ten people.

"Alright, the afternoon's work has been assigned. Get to work now."

“Each team leader and work recorder, in addition to their own work, must also do a good job of supervising the work.”

Zhang Youwei was very decisive and immediately issued the order.

Each of the six production teams had its own team leader, deputy team leader, work recorder, and other positions. Upon hearing Zhang Youwei's order, the six team leaders responded and immediately led their respective team members to work in the fields they were responsible for.

Han Xuemei was the work recorder for the fifth team. As she was leaving, she secretly glanced at Zhang Yun and found that Zhang Yun was also watching her. He even made a small gesture of pouting and kissing her, which startled Han Xuemei so much that she immediately turned around.

Although she jogged away, Han Xuemei's neck turned slightly red.

Chen Wan was naturally in the fifth team as well. After arriving at the old camphor tree square, she stood at the back of the team and kept looking at her son Zhang Yun and Han Xuemei with joy in her eyes.

At this moment, Chen Wan also noticed Zhang Yun's intimate little actions, which startled Han Xuemei. She really admired her son, and at the same time glared at Zhang Yun, meaning, "You better be serious."

Zhang Yun smiled at his mother, then discussed with the other nine people and quickly assigned them to different areas.

Before long, Zhang Yun and his nephew Zhang Jiwu were put in charge of the sweet potato field on the rocky hill; they were going to catch wild rabbits.

Yes, Zhang Yun's father was one of three brothers: Zhang Boshu, Zhang Zhongli, and Zhang Jiwu. Zhang Zhongli was the second oldest, and Zhang Jiwu was Zhang Yun's third uncle.

Zhang Jiwu was very strong. Unlike the generally thin and frail bodies of other villagers, he seemed to gain weight even from drinking water. His two huge pectoral muscles were quite impressive.

"Yun Yazi, with your third uncle here, we're sure to catch a few wild rabbits today."

Zhang Jiwu patted Zhang Yun on the shoulder and said with considerable confidence.

"Alright, I believe in Uncle San's abilities."

Zhang Yun echoed this sentiment.

In his previous life, Zhang Yun's third uncle, Zhang Jiwu, treated Zhang Yun's family quite well, so Zhang Yun naturally acted very politely in return.
