Reborn in the 60s, I hunt to support my family and even seduce the village beauty.
Chapter 55 Work Indicators
At this time.
Liu Meifen was hurrying home.
She got up early this morning, took some grain and a few meat buns, and secretly took a bag of Daqianmen cigarettes to her younger brother Liu Meilin's house.
In the past, when his family had nothing to eat, they often received help from Liu Meilin. Last time, when his son hunted a wild boar, it was Liu Meilin who helped transport it to the supply and marketing cooperative by oxcart.
That time, Liu Meilin took a lot of things home.
Yesterday, my son Changkun hunted two blue sheep and a wolf, and bought a bicycle for the family.
This is such a big event, I really need to share it with my younger brother.
Since her parents passed away, her only close friend has been her younger brother, Liu Meilin.
At my younger brother's house, I chatted happily with my sister-in-law about my son's current abilities and how impressive his bicycle was.
The younger brother praised Chang Kun, saying that his nephew had improved so much recently, making him look at him in a new light.
Hearing her younger brother praise their son made Liu Meifen the happiest. She remembered how much her brother used to look down on Chang Kun.
The greatest joy for a mother is seeing her son improve.
She didn't realize until eight or nine o'clock that she had gotten up too early and hadn't prepared breakfast for her son and daughters.
My son is older now, so he should be able to cook something for the little girls, right?
Feeling uncertain, I left my brother's house and hurried home.
When they arrived at the village entrance, they happened to meet Guo Wuhua, who was next door. She was Uncle Chang Wu's wife. Uncle Chang Wu and Chang Dashan were brothers within five degrees of kinship, and the two families were quite close.
"Fen, come here." Guo Wuhua called Liu Meifen softly, glancing left and right as if afraid of being seen.
"What's wrong, Auntie Wu?"
Seeing Guo Wuhua's mysterious demeanor, Liu Meifen assumed there was some gossip going on and quickly went over to her.
"Let me tell you, a city girl came to the village today looking for your son, Xiao Kun."
"what?"
Liu Meifen never expected to hear gossip about her own son.
"That girl, wearing a skirt, looks like she comes from a wealthy family. She's much better than the Qin family's daughter next door. Xiao Kun is really lucky..."
Guo Wuhua was filled with envy. Her own son was named Chang Youfu, but she had never seen him have such great fortune.
"Oh dear, I need to go home and check on things!"
Liu Meifen slapped her thigh and was in a hurry to leave.
The old man went to work in the fields, and she wasn't home either. Only her son and a city girl were left at home, which was not right.
"Don't rush. I saw them take Xiaoqing and the others to the foot of the mountain. They're probably going to have some fun. Let's wait here."
"Sigh, you know, Xiao Kun is such a worry, why is he getting involved with city girls..." Liu Meifen frowned. The Qin family's marriage arrangements haven't been settled yet, and now another one has popped up.
Guo Wuhua: ...
You're complaining that you have too many daughters-in-law and are overwhelmed by the choices!
Meanwhile, Chang Kun, Cheng Min, and the others were rushing back.
Cheng Min went to Chang Kun's house to express her gratitude, and after half a day, it was time for her to go home.
Arriving at the village entrance.
"Mother, what are you doing here?"
"Mother! Mother!"
Several little girls rushed to their mother's side, telling her that they had hunted some wild rabbits, greyhounds, and pheasants that morning.
They had a great time all morning, and didn't even bother to wipe their hair, which was soaked with sweat.
"Look how hot you all are."
Liu Meifen wiped the little girl's sweat and pretended to scold her.
Guo Wuhua listened with great envy. The whole morning had been filled with wild rabbits, pheasants, and greyhounds, making it hard for her to maintain her smile.
"I have things to do at home, you guys stay here."
That's so hurtful! They can't even get enough to eat with corn porridge, and you, Chang Kun, are hunting and eating meat every day. It's infuriating!
Chang Kun didn't pay much attention and introduced Cheng Min to his mother.
Upon learning that her son had saved the girl and that the girl had come to express her gratitude, Liu Meifen felt relieved.
She was terrified that her son would pull off another stunt like Qin Meiru. She remembered how her son was obsessed with Qin Meiru back then, disregarding everything else, and he would marry her no matter how much the Qin family offered as a dowry.
Upon returning home, Cheng Min bid farewell to Chang Kun, saying she had something to do that afternoon.
Chang Kun couldn't stay any longer, so he let her take two wild rabbits and two squirrels with her.
After some initial refusals, Cheng Min finally accepted the gift. As she left, she thought to herself, "I came to thank them, but the return gift I received was even more generous."
These days, it's rare to be able to give meat away as a gift.
The Chang family is really quite nice.
After seeing Cheng Min off, Chang Kun prepared to take the wolf to the supply and marketing cooperative.
The wolf meat has a strange smell and doesn't taste good, but it's at least a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, so let the supply and marketing cooperative handle it.
Walking into the east room, several little girls were fiddling with their hairbands, and the kang (a heated brick bed) was covered with wooden toy fragments. They were chattering and discussing how to put them back together.
Liu Meifen was squatting by the stove, preparing to make some stewed greyhound meat with soybeans for the children, when she saw Chang Kun tying a wild wolf to the back of a bicycle.
"Little Kun, where are you taking the wolf?"
"Send it to the supply and marketing cooperative. This stuff doesn't taste good. Send it there early so it's still fresh."
Chang Kun mainly wanted to visit the supply and marketing cooperative frequently to maintain good relations and check if the work targets had been released.
Liu Meifen quickly grabbed her son's arm, "You've been busy from morning till night these past few days, and you haven't eaten anything this morning. This won't do."
She pulled her son back to the main room, sat him down next to the octagonal table, lit a fire to boil water and heat up meat buns, preparing for her son to take them on the road.
The situation at home has improved a lot these days, all thanks to my son.
But in a mother's eyes, her son is always busy, which makes her feel a little sorry for him.
When the girls heard that Chang Kun was going to ride his bicycle to the supply and marketing cooperative, they immediately swarmed around their eldest brother.
"Big brother, big brother, I want to go to the city too," Chang Qing said, hugging Chang Kun's neck and acting coquettishly.
"I want to go too." Chang Mu couldn't get a neck from his older brother, so he could only grab Chang Kun's arm and shake it.
Xiao Changxiu was slow, and when she got to Chang Kun's side, she could only hug his leg, "Big brother, big brother, take me with you, take me with you..."
My younger sisters haven't been to the city for several years and are eager to go.
What's more, they had never ridden a bicycle before. Only Chang Qing had ever seen a bride ride a bicycle when he was a child, and he had always been extremely envious of her.
Chang Kun looked at his three younger sisters, caught in a dilemma. With a wolf strapped to the back of the bicycle and only two girls able to sit on the front beam at most, it still wasn't very safe.
So, is the only little girl left at home?
That would be too cruel. The little girl would definitely cry her eyes out at home!
After thinking for a moment, he took three straw stalks from the stove to start a fire and said to his sisters:
"Today, you can only take one person. Now, catch grass stalks. Whoever catches the longest one gets to go. Next time we go to town, the remaining two of you can catch more, understand?"
The older brothers, Chang Qing and Chang Mu, understood immediately and nodded in agreement.
Three-year-old Xiao Changxiu seemed to understand but not quite, and nodded in agreement.
The results of the lottery were quickly announced. Chang Qing and Chang Mu pouted and tried to draw lots first, but neither of them won.
Xiao Changxiu looked at her eldest brother in a daze, then at her two older sisters, and after a while she realized that she had won.
She was so happy that she jumped around on the ground, shouting:
"Oh! Oh! I won! Time to go to town!"
Liu Meifen sat on the stove, tending the fire, watching her children play, and smiled with her lips pursed.
My son is becoming more and more sensible.
After the meal, Liu Meifen gave Chang Kun a few meat buns to eat on his journey if he got hungry. Before he left, she reminded him several times to be careful and to keep an eye on his little sister.
Chang Qing and Chang Mu watched their older brother ride away on his bicycle with tears in their eyes, and even the milk candy that Chang Kun gave them couldn't soothe them.
I sped to the supply and marketing cooperative with Xiao Changxiu. What used to be a two-hour journey only took about forty minutes by bike, which was much more convenient.
Chang Xiu sat on the beam, enjoying the cool breeze blowing in her face, watching the small trees by the roadside rush past her, not afraid at all, but full of excitement.
Upon arriving at the supply and marketing cooperative, he easily found Wang Cuiqin and asked her to lock his bicycle so he could carry the wolf inside.
At this time, Director Song of the supply and marketing cooperative had not yet started work, so the two chatted casually about everyday matters and trivial things concerning Yang Shu's family.
Wang Cuiqin found a small stool for Xiao Changxiu and arranged for her to sit under the counter. She went out, grabbed an ice pop, and handed it to Changxiu to lick.
"Big pot, sweet."
Chang Xiu squinted her eyes and looked at Chang Kun with enjoyment. She had never eaten an ice pop before. It was fun to be with her older brother and there was delicious food. She was so happy.
After finishing the popsicles, Wang Cuiqin emptied the crumbs from the peach crisp box, wrapped them in paper, and let Chang Xiu lick them. She also took a half-melted ice cream from the freezer and put it in a cup to drink like water.
Chang Kun chuckled and said, "This little girl doesn't need to eat anymore; she's already full from all this stuff."
After waiting for a while, Director Song returned in a great hurry.
Upon entering and seeing Chang Kun, he paused for a moment, then noticed the wild wolf on the ground, a smile spreading across his face as he greeted him.
"Xiao Kun, you're here just in time. I have some good news. Let's go to the office and talk."
Chang Kun's eyes lit up. Could it be that there was some progress on the issue of the work quota?
