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

The two entered the office.

Director Song closed the door, sat down, poured Chang Kun a glass of water, and then slowly said:

"Xiao Kun, the work targets have been set, it'll be in the next few days, what do you think..."

Chang Kun's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Whatever your conditions are, just say them. If we can do it, we'll definitely do it without hesitation."

Director Song chuckled twice. "Xiao Kun, this quota was assigned by the higher-ups. They don't want money, they just want meat, whether it's wild boar or blue sheep, it's fine."

Upon hearing this, Chang Kun knew that the supply and marketing cooperative had found out about him delivering two sheep to the street office last time.

These days, meat is scarce everywhere, but the supply and marketing cooperative is just a nobody compared to the street office, so how could it dare to compete with the street office for meat?

Chang Kun immediately stated that meat would definitely be delivered to the supply and marketing cooperative first in the future.

After all, I want my mother to be comfortable working here, so I need to maintain good relations with her.

"Director Song, look at that wolf outside the door. We just killed it last night. Look, it's been brought to you."

"Hey, that stuff is meat, but it doesn't taste good. The leaders don't like to eat it..." Director Song waved his hand and told Chang Kun the truth: most of the pork and mutton ended up in the leaders' mouths.

He was saying things like, "If I don't take that meat, how will the leaders take it? If the leaders don't take it, how will I get promoted?"

Chang Kun was completely baffled.

Finally, the two agreed that, regardless of whether it was pork or mutton, as long as it was good meat, 200 jin (100 catties) would be enough to secure a job quota.

As for money, the leaders don't lack it, and they don't want it at all.

After the conversation, Chang Kun felt a sense of urgency. He needed to hurry up and go into the mountains to find prey so he could finish his job as soon as possible, allowing his mother and younger sister to become city dwellers and eat government-subsidized food, and so they wouldn't have to travel so far every day to dig for wild vegetables.

After saying goodbye to Director Song, they left the wolf at the supply and marketing cooperative for them to handle. They didn't charge them for it yet, thinking that if they couldn't find a wild boar or a blue sheep, they could at least use the wolf as meat.

Since the work targets didn't require money, Chang Kun decided to make a large-scale purchase.

I bought three jin of peach shortbread, three jin of mung bean cake, a tub of malted milk powder, and two cans of yellow peaches from the supply and marketing cooperative. I'll keep these for the younger girls to supplement their nutrition and satisfy their cravings.

I bought ten tubes of clam oil and five small boxes of face cream. My parents' hands, worn out from all their hard work, are full of cracks, and they hurt when they touch water in winter.

The tin frog took three back to comfort Chang Qing and Chang Mu, those two little girls are probably still crying their eyes out at home.

These things weren't paid for with coupons; having connections makes things easier, they were just paid off with money.

When asked if the supply and marketing cooperative had any books, pencils, or notebooks, Wang Cuiqin told Chang Kun to go to the Xinhua Bookstore in Wangfujing, where the selection was the most complete.

After leaving the house, we took Xiao Changxiu and headed straight to Xinhua Bookstore.

I bought pencils and notebooks, planning to let my younger sisters practice writing so they can at least recognize some commonly used characters.

I bought a bunch of comic books: "Chicken Feather Letter", "Reconnaissance Across the River", "The Beginning of the Storm", "Investiture of the Gods", "My Struggle", and a set of each of the other four classic novels.

Just before leaving, I saw some colored crayons for sale by the door and bought three sets. These are the kids' favorite things, and I thought Changqing and Changmu would jump for joy when they got home.

A whole bunch of books, pencils, and colored pencils cost me over seventy yuan. Knowledge is really valuable these days.

After going out, seeing that the sun was already high in the sky, I didn't stop. I bought a string of candied hawthorns from a street vendor for Xiao Changxiu to lick, and then rode my bike home.

On his way home, Chang Kun deliberately detoured to the alley where he had previously encountered the thief and hooligans, and took a look, but did not encounter the girl in the dress again.

When we arrived at the village entrance, many villagers who had finished work were sitting under the big trees enjoying the cool shade.

Chang Kun drove Chang Xiu over quickly, and many children watched with longing eyes. When they saw the candied hawthorn in Chang Xiu's hand that she hadn't finished eating, their mouths watered.

The fact that Chang Kun bought a bicycle was definitely the biggest news in the village within the next three to five years, even more shocking than Chang Kun losing his job, and it had already spread throughout the entire village.

When the villagers saw the bicycle handlebars and the bags on the back seat, they were filled with envy.

"Xiao Kun, are you going to the city?" Uncle Chang asked, making small talk.

"Fifth Uncle, I'm going to the city to deal with that wolf."

"It's great to have a bicycle. In just one morning, I've already made a round trip to the city."

"I mean, this bicycle is really impressive."

"The Chang family is lucky; their son is doing well."

"Xiao Kun, your brother Chun is getting married next month. Can we borrow his car to pick up the bride?"

The elderly men and women chattered amongst themselves.

"Sure, Uncle Yang, come pick up the car when Brother Dachun gets married." Chang Kun agreed. Relatives who are beyond the fifth degree of kinship and live in the same village are even closer than ordinary relatives.

After chatting casually for a few minutes, Chang Kun rode his bike home.

Upon hearing the clear sound of the bell, Chang Qing and Chang Mu rushed out of the main room.

"Big brother, big brother!"

The two little girls rushed into Chang Kun's arms. They were so frustrated, and the thought of Xiao Changxiu going to the city with them made them feel resentful.

Chang Kun led the three little girls to the stove and divided the candied hawthorns that Xiao Changxiu had made among them. Only then did Chang Qing and Chang Mu calm down and start eating the hawthorns, puffing out their cheeks like little squirrels eating acorns.

"Brother, what else is in your sack?" Chang Qing asked, glancing furtively at the sack Chang Kun had brought back while eating.

"These are all good things. Come on, let's go take a look at the east kang." Chang Kun carried a sack and placed the items on the kang one by one.

"Wow, is this a frog?" The three little girls rushed over as soon as they saw the tin frog.

They had never seen such lifelike frogs before. They felt as if they were made of iron. Each of them held one in their hands and played with it, completely ignoring the other things in the sack.

By the time Chang Kun had taught them how to wind up a clockwork mechanism and how to make a frog jump, Chang Dashan and Liu Meifen had returned home.

The three little girls ignored their parents, put the frogs on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), and shouted "three, two, one!" to see whose frog could jump the fastest and the farthest.

Seeing the three little girls so happy, Liu Meifen chuckled and scolded, "You just spoil them."

"Hehe, Mom and Dad, you got some too." Chang Kun took out clam oil and face cream and explained to them what they were for.

Chang Dashan curled his lip. He had only ever seen city people use these things. Country people had never used them before. His son was really rich, buying all these things.

Liu Meifen's eyes were a little red. She didn't care whether Chang Kun wasted money or not; she only knew that this was her son's filial piety.

Thinking back to how her son used to annoy her like a vengeful spirit, and then seeing how sensible, capable, and filial he is now, she felt incredibly happy.

Chang Kun then took out peach shortbread and mung bean cakes, and had his mother hang them on the crossbeam. He also placed the malted milk powder and canned goods on the windowsill above the kang (a heated brick bed).

These things were all bought to supplement the little girls' nutrition. Liu Meifen praised her son for caring for his sister. Chang Dashan took a few puffs of his pipe and looked at Chang Kun with satisfaction.

Suddenly, the three little girls who were playing on the kang (a heated brick bed) shouted:

"Ouch, my stomach hurts."

"I need to poop!"

The three of them hurriedly ran outside the courtyard.

A few minutes later, Chang Qing rushed back to the east room like a madman:

"Oh no! Oh no! Father, Mother, Brother, we're going to die!"

Before he finished speaking, the family's expressions changed.
