Chang Kun stood there, stunned, for a long while, thinking about the reward the system had just given him.

Last time I caught a thief, the system rewarded me with lock-picking skills, which was acceptable.

The system reward for catching this thug with the Kato Taka Hand is just too outrageous!

After a long while, Chang Kun shook his head and stopped thinking about it. No matter how powerful the finger technique was, he didn't have a target to use it on right now!

I went to the state-run restaurant, spent one yuan plus two and a half jin of grain coupons, bought twenty large steamed buns, and hurriedly went to my elder sister's mother-in-law's house.

When Chang Kun rode his bicycle to Yang Shunong's house, Yang Shunong was sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed) coaxing his grandson.

He was still muttering to himself, "Little Kun has really become capable. He went into the mountains and got wild honey for our family, and even caught a big worm."

Chang Mei's mother-in-law, Sun Xiaohong, was squatting under the stove skinning a snake when she heard the old man's words. She replied, "That's right, Xiao Kun is a kind boy; he brought so much stuff last time."

Chang Mei was initially distressed by Xiao Bao's inability to defecate, but upon hearing her in-laws praising her younger brother, she couldn't help but smile.

Yang Shunong watched his grandson for a while, then got off the kang (a heated brick bed) and went to the stove. He took out a pipe, stuffed it with tobacco, and lowered his voice: "Let me tell you, Xiao Kun also caught two sheep this time."

"Dad, what did my brother do?" Chang Mei asked, hardly believing her ears.

"What? Qingyang?" Sun Xiaohong looked up, her voice unconsciously rising.

"Keep your voice down, don't let this get out of hand. Xiao Kun just hunted a wild boar a couple of days ago, and now he's hunted two blue sheep. It'll only attract jealousy." Yang Shunong glared at Sun Xiaohong.

Sun Xiaohong retorted, "I'm not stupid, who can I talk to!"

Yang Shunong shook his head. If he didn't explain, the news would spread throughout the village by tomorrow. After all, Sun Xiaohong was known for her big mouth in the village.

He made a shooting motion, "Just one shot, bang, and I pierced both sheep through the air. I've fought so many wars, and I'd never be able to do that."

He then exclaimed with emotion, "Oh my, Xiao Kun is so capable! My in-laws are just waiting to enjoy their good fortune!"

Chang Mei's eyes sparkled. Even her father-in-law said her younger brother was capable, which really made her look good in her husband's family.

Just then, Chang Kun pushed his bicycle into Yang Shunong's house and called out in the yard, "Grandpa, are you home?"

Yang Shunong, Sun Xiaohong, and Chang Mei quickly went out to greet him when they heard Chang Kun's voice.

Upon seeing the bicycle, they were all stunned, and they circled around it, examining and touching it.

It's no wonder they were like that; owning a bicycle back then was much cooler than driving a supercar in later generations.

When ordinary people see a supercar on the road, they will definitely take a second look, and some may even surround it to take pictures.

It was getting late, and if they delayed any longer, they would have to go home in the dark.

Chang Kun didn't want to waste any time, so he briefly explained how he traded the sheep for a bicycle, then took out milk powder and meat buns and gave them to Sun Xiaohong.

Yang Shunong and the other two hurriedly tried to stop them.

These days, there really aren't people that generous.

Twenty large meat buns could almost buy you a rural wife.

Not to mention milk powder, which Sun Xiaohong and Chang Mei had never even heard of.

Yang Shunong, as the head of the commune's security team, had heard people say that milk powder was extremely precious. Once, the commune's Party Secretary searched everywhere for milk powder but couldn't find any.

Chang Kun had been taken care of by his elder sister and nephew in his previous life, and he was very pleased to be able to repay them in this life. He was determined to leave his things at his elder sister's house.

After a few back and forth, Chang Kun was in a hurry to get on his way. He hadn't been home all day, and his mother and the others thought he was still on the mountain and were worried sick.

In the end, Chang Mei accepted the gifts from Chang Kun, keeping only a bag of milk powder and ten meat buns, and giving the remaining bag of milk powder and ten meat buns to the little girls at home.

After exchanging a few words, it was already quite late when Chang Kun got on his bike, said goodbye, and went home.

Yang Shunong saw Chang Kun off, then went home and sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) to watch his eldest grandson, puffing on his pipe while praising Chang Kun.

"Xiaomei, your brother is really capable! He even bought a bicycle; he's the first in our commune to do that!"

Sun Xiaohong held the bag of milk powder in her hands, looking at it with interest, and said with emotion, "Xiao Kun gives so many things. We haven't even finished the last one he gave us, and this time he brought milk powder and meat buns. Dad, you have to think of a way to return the favor."

Chang Mei, with half a meat bun stuffed in her mouth, said as she ate, "I feel like my little brother has become more sensible all of a sudden, and his skills have improved a lot too."

"You've improved a lot? Your skills are quite impressive! And that bicycle is brand new. I think Xiao Kun is better at hunting than working. Our boss has been working for over ten years and hasn't even earned enough for a bicycle." Sun Xiaohong was thinking about the bicycle. It's only been a few days, and he's already hunted wild boars and then blue sheep, and directly traded them for bicycles.

……

As dusk approached, the villagers finished their work and sat down to rest at the village entrance.

When Zhang Quhun got home, he looked around but didn't see his father. He felt something was strange. His father hadn't been home since noon, and it was getting dark, but he still hadn't seen his father. Where had he gone?

Without lingering, he rushed to his older brother's house, only to find that neither his father nor his older brother were there.

As it grew darker, Zhang Quhun became anxious and called his sister-in-law, Fu Dimo, to search for his father and elder brother along the village paths.

Halfway there, they encountered Liu Meifen, who was out looking for Chang Kun.

Early in the morning, Chang Kun and Yang Shunong went up the mountain to find wild bees to collect honey and harvest bee larvae. Liu Meifen thought they would be home soon, but she waited until almost dark without seeing them. She was getting anxious and wanted to go to the village entrance to greet them.

Liu Meifen, Zhang Quhun, and Fu Dimo ​​gathered together and asked the villagers if they had seen Chang Kun, Zhang Pianxin, and Zhang Buxiao.

Until I met Grandpa Tian from the village, "It was not yet noon. I was lying behind a tree at the entrance of the village sleeping when I saw Zhang Pianxin and Da Xiaozi following Jin Sanjia into the mountains, carrying guns in their hands."

Upon hearing this, the three hurriedly went to Jin Sanjia's house.

Since returning home, Jin Sanjia has been hiding at home and hasn't seen anyone, thinking that no one saw the three of them go into the mountains together. Little did he expect that Zhang Quhun would come knocking on his door.

Not long after, Zhang Quhun roared and, punching and kicking, dragged Jin Sanjia out to the village entrance.

He had already found out what had happened and knew that his father and older brother had encountered wild wolves and were still in the mountains. Cold sweat poured down his forehead.

It was getting dark, and he couldn't imagine what his father and older brother were going through.

He pushed and shoved Jin Sanjia to lead the way, wanting to go into the mountains to find someone.

Jin Sanjia was terrified and refused to leave the village entrance, fearing he was going to the mountains to feed the wolves.

Beads of sweat appeared on Liu Meifen's forehead behind him; she was terrified too. There were wolves in the mountains; what if Xiao Kun encountered one…

The villagers who were finishing their work at the village entrance understood what had happened after hearing just a few words, and they all angrily cursed Jin Sanjia.

These days, everyone in a village is related to someone in some way. Jin Sanjia abandoned the Zhang family father and son in the mountains and didn't even ask for help when he came back. He's simply inhuman!

By this time, it was getting dark, and the Zhang family father and son dared not even think about what had happened to them.

Upon hearing that Chang Kun was also in the mountains, one of the villagers whispered, "Could it be that the eldest son of the Chang family also encountered wolves and hasn't returned?"

These words stirred up a hornet's nest, and the villagers began to discuss them.

Everyone says that Chang Kun might have encountered wolves, otherwise he wouldn't still be out of the mountains and not home so late.

Upon hearing this, Liu Meifen's legs went weak. Her son was her lifeblood, and she couldn't let anything happen to him. As she thought about it, tears welled up in her eyes.
