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

"I caught 64!"

"I caught 52!"

Chang Qing and Chang Mu rushed to report.

"I caught 49, that makes a total of 165. I can have a good meal when I get back."

Chang Kun smiled.

"Wow, that's awesome, bro!"

Chang Qing jumped and skipped around.

Previously, Wang Xiaohua from the village caught two cicadas, roasted them, and held them in her hand, reluctant to eat them, which made her crave them for a long time.

Just thinking about that aroma made her mouth water.

"Big brother is amazing!"

Chang Mu was overjoyed; he hadn't eaten meat in a long time.

Burning cicadas makes them very fragrant, no less delicious than pork!

Now that her older brother has taken her to catch so many cicadas, she's afraid they won't be able to eat them all.

Chang Kun looked around and saw that there was nothing that could hold all the cicadas.

Having no other choice, I had to take off my tattered shirt and stuff all the cicadas on the ground into it.

The branches in the fire were almost burned out, and Chang Wei picked up a branch next to him and poked at the fire.

They pulled out six seasonal birds, which had been burned black, their legs and claws burned away.

"Hey, there are exactly 6 here, 3 for each of you, eat them and go home."

"It smells so good, thank you, brother!"

"Thank you, brother!"

The two little ones were drooling; the aroma of the roasted protein was simply too tempting.

"It's a pity there are still many trees over there; there must be many more on the trees."

Chang Qing chewed on a cicada, still not entirely satisfied with tonight's performance.

"Come again tomorrow if you want to eat, it'll be too late and Mom will worry," Chang Kun comforted his second sister.

"Yes, thank you, big brother!"

Chang Kun chuckled, amazed at how smoothly his two younger sisters addressed him as "thank you, big brother."

If they lived in the future, they would be great material to be a broadcaster.

……

At this time, at the Chang family home.

"Dad, Xiao Kun seems to have changed a lot today."

"That's right, those few blows to Shi Zhenxiang really startled me."

"Now he's taking his younger sister to catch seasonal birds again. It's like he's suddenly become more sensible."

"A son will grow up sooner or later," Chang Dashan said, puffing on his pipe.

He couldn't understand why his son had changed so much all of a sudden, and he was a little unaccustomed to it.

"My son, of course he'll be good!"

Liu Meifen held her head high, her face full of pride.

"Yes, yes! Your son!"

Chang Dashan secretly glared at Liu Meifen and muttered to himself:

"I don't know who was crying the other day, saying they had given birth to a cursed child."

……

Chang Kun led his two younger sisters slowly home.

As soon as they arrived at the door, the two younger sisters rushed into the yard like the wind and saw Liu Meifen sitting on the threshold of the main room waiting for them.

Before her younger sister could even speak, Liu Meifen scolded her:

"Why did you take so long? Look at you two, what did you eat? Your mouths are all black!"

The two younger sisters ate burnt cicadas, and after they finished eating, they licked their lips with their tongues, getting their mouths full of black ash.

"Big brother caught a lot of birds for the season, Mother, let's cook them and eat them."

Chang Qing ate two cicadas on the way, and felt even more hungry.

Liu Meifen then noticed that Chang Kun was holding a shirt, from which came the chirping of birds.

"How many did you catch? You're busy this late."

Chang Dashan also went into the main room.

He didn't take it seriously, thinking they had just caught ten or eight to give to a few young girls as a treat.

"Big brother, how many were there again? I forgot how many we counted." Chang Qing tilted his head and looked at his older brother.

"165!! And we ate 6 of them!"

Chang Mu answered quickly, saying that she had been keeping track of the number of people caught tonight.

Liu Meifen and Chang Dashan were taken aback. So many?

In such a short time, so many people have been arrested?

Liu Meifen reached out and grabbed the shirt from Chang Qing's hand. She gently unbuttoned the shirt and saw that it was covered with cicadas.

"Wow, my son is so capable!"

Chang Dashan stared wide-eyed, thinking that so many seasonal birds would be enough to give his little ones a good meal.

"Dad, start the fire, cook something for your son and daughter!"

Liu Meifen waved her hand and handed the task over to the old man.

"I'll do it, I'll do it..." With seasonal birds to eat, Chang Qing was very enthusiastic about his work.

She added water to the stove and started the fire.

After a short while, the water in the pot boiled, and no more firewood was added to the stove; the remaining embers still had a few sparks.

Liu Meifen pushed Chang Qing aside, used a fire poker to pry open the soft embers, grabbed a handful of cicadas, gently put them into the furnace, and then covered them with a thick layer of embers.

As the old saying goes, children who play with fire will wet the bed, so Liu Meifen wouldn't allow Chang Qing to stir up the embers.

Chang Qing squatted by the stove, glancing down into it every now and then.

As soon as I caught a whiff of the aroma, I couldn't wait to grab the fire poker and try to pry the cicadas away.

Liu Meifen gave Chang Qing a light tap, annoyed. "Wait, it's not ripe yet!"

Chang Qing wasn't angry at all. She waited for the food with a smile, sniffing the aroma coming from the stove.

Chang Kun stood by the door frame, watching this scene, feeling as if he had drunk a century-old wine, feeling lightheaded and intoxicated.

Such a warm and cozy scene of the whole family together in one's past life can only appear in dreams.

Now that his dream has become reality, he grinned foolishly.

The third sister, Chang Mu, was a little sleepy. She leaned against Chang Kun, nodding her head as if she wanted to sleep, but she couldn't bear to leave the cicadas that were almost ripe.

"Alright, it's cooked. Take it slow, don't scoop out the ash."

At this point, the temperature of the embers had already dropped.

Upon hearing the order, Chang Qing immediately used a fire poker to remove the ashes and slowly pried the cicadas out of the stove one by one.

Seeing this, Chang Mu also perked up.

My second sister picked up a cicada, then gently slammed it on the ground a few times to knock off the wood ash from its body.

The two sisters worked together very well, and in less than a minute, they had pulled all the cicadas out of the stove.

I counted them, and there were exactly twenty-two.

The stove is small, and can only hold about twenty cicadas at a time.

The two agreed that each would receive eleven.

"It smells so good! It smells even better than what we ate in the woods earlier!"

"Yes, second sister, eldest brother is amazing!"

"Stop just flattering them, how about letting Mom and Dad try some cicadas first?"

Chang Kun gestured to the two children with his eyes.

"Mother, you eat."

Chang Qing, always quick to read the room, picked up a cicada, pretended to blow on it, and stuffed it into his mother's mouth.

He even asked with a grin, "Mom, doesn't it smell delicious?"

"Mmm, it's delicious. You eat it, my dear."

Liu Meifen beamed with joy upon receiving the treat from her daughter, feeling delighted.

"Dad, you eat a cicada." Not to be outdone, Chang Mu stuffed a shiny, crisp cicada into his father's hands.

"Hey! Good girl, eat up." Chang Dashan was overjoyed.

He saw that it was Chang Wei who gave the two sisters a meaningful look, and he was very pleased with the change in his son.

"Go to sleep quickly after you finish eating," Liu Meifen urged Chang Qing and Chang Mu to go to bed.

It's quite late. Usually, the little girls would be asleep by now at this time.

"Oh well."

The third sister, Chang Mu, was already sleepy. She was crunching on cicadas, holding the remaining few in her hands, when she ran to the small kang (heated brick bed) in the east room to prepare for sleep.

The east wing has two rooms; the father, mother, and younger sister sleep in the larger room.

There is a small room on the far east side, where the second and third sisters sleep together on a small kang (heated brick bed).

Just then, the system notification sound finally arrived.

[Ding! 100/100 cicadas captured. Reward: 1 pound of deep-fried cicadas.]

[The current host can sense prey weighing less than 40 jin (approximately 860 kg) within a range of 150 meters.]
