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

After finishing our drinks, we chatted for a while longer.

As the night breeze cooled down, Chang Dashan and his son said goodbye, and Shen Yong saw them off at the door.

The old mute man had already been pulled into the east room by Nannan, who said she wanted to make a bed for her grandfather.

Chang Dashan rode ahead, and only spoke after they exited the alley: "Shen Yong handled this matter well."

Chang Kun nodded: "Yes, Nannan also has something to look forward to."

"That old mute guy, he looks tough on the outside, but he's soft on the inside." Chang Dashan paused for a moment, "I raised him for four years, and even though he wasn't my biological son, I treated him like one."

Chang Kun didn't reply, and the two walked for a while longer.

Chang Dashan suddenly asked, "Have you heard anything from your second aunt lately? Didn't you go to her house a few days ago?"

"My second aunt is doing alright. She's pregnant again, but she's craving sour foods."

"Sour?" Chang Dashan clicked his tongue. "Is your second aunt having another daughter? But your aunt loves spicy food, so it's probably a boy."

Chang Kun smiled and said that his second aunt was obsessed with having a son. A while ago, she kept urging her uncle to drink tiger penis wine.

I secretly gave her a fertility pill, and now look what happened, she's actually pregnant. But I'm worried it'll be another girl...

"My mother has been saying it several times, that the large number of new babies in the family this year means that our lives are getting better and better."

"The more the merrier, the more lively it will be." Chang Dashan rode a few steps, then looked back at Chang Kun. "You and Xiaomin, hurry up too."

Chang Kun paused for a moment: "Dad, you've had too much to drink."

Cheng Min and I have been quite busy, but why haven't we hit the target?

However, he wasn't in a hurry since they had only been married for two months.

Chang Dashan snorted and didn't say anything more before riding away on his bicycle.

Back home, Cheng Min poured tea for the father and son in the yard to help them sober up.

Chang Kun had just taken the bowl and taken a sip when Liu Meifen poked her head out from the kitchen: "Why is Shen Yong inviting you for drinks?"

Chang Kun told them about the old mute man's adoption of a godfather.

After listening, Liu Meifen exclaimed repeatedly, "The old mute man is so kind-hearted; there aren't many kind people like him these days."

Cheng Min nodded in agreement: "The little girl is pitiful. She was abducted several years ago and couldn't find her home even in Beijing."

After thinking for a moment, she asked again, "Is Nannan going to school?"

"Of course not." Chang Kun put down his bowl. "These past few years, I've been with that old mute, so there's been no opportunity for me to go to school."

Cheng Min nodded: "If Shen Yong wants to send her to school later, he can come to me and I'll help arrange it."

Chang Kun quickly waved his hand: "Even if she goes to school, please don't arrange for her to be with Xiao Qing and the others."

Cheng Min was taken aback: "Why?"

"Xiao Qing and her friends are already mischievous and they even beat up male classmates. If a big sister who's over ten years old joins them, the four of them together could probably turn the school into a complete mess."

Cheng Min thought about the scene and couldn't help but laugh.

Liu Meifen overheard this at the kitchen door and muttered, "That's true, Xiao Qing and the others are really being difficult!"

As they chatted, Cheng Min suddenly remembered something: "Oh right, Xiao Lü, Lü Jiawei, came to our house this evening."

Chang Kun became interested: "What do you mean? What did he do?"

Cheng Min shook her head: "Nothing much, I just said I came to see you. I told you you went to someone else's house to drink."

"And then?"

"Later, he wandered around our door and the door next door twice, then came to me again, took an old textbook and a pencil, and said he asked me to give them to you."

She then looked at Chang Kun and asked, "What does this mean?"

Chang Kun was speechless for a moment, then asked, "And then what? He left?"

Cheng Min nodded: "Yes, they just left, for no apparent reason."

Chang Kun grinned, cursing inwardly.

This kid talks a good game, saying he's coming to find Bao Hua, but he doesn't even dare to show his face.

He even asked me to deliver the textbooks myself. I'm too lazy to help him anymore. He's hopeless!

Seeing his expression, Cheng Min pressed him for details, "What happened? Why did Xiao Lü give you the textbook?"

Chang Kun waved his hand: "Let's talk inside."

The two entered the west room, and Chang Kun closed the door before telling them about Xiao Lü's interest in Bao Hua.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Min's eyes widened in surprise: "Really? Xiao Lü has taken a liking to Bao Hua?"

"Um."

"Does Baohua know about this?"

"Know? I doubt it. That scoundrel Xiao Lü is, he doesn't even dare to show his face, how would anyone know?"

Cheng Min thought for a moment, then asked, "What about Xiao Lü's parents?"

"Still disagree."

Cheng Min sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) in silence for a while: "This kid is quite bold, but will Bao Hua's parents agree to it?"

Chang Kun didn't respond; he himself had thought about this several times.

If his parents agree, he can help Xiao Lü out so that Bao Hua can have someone to rely on for the rest of his life, which would be a good thing.

But it's too early to say all that now.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Cheng Min didn't press him further, only saying, "Return the textbook to him tomorrow and let him deliver it himself."

Chang Kun nodded. What kind of mess has this kid made?

"Let's not talk about Xiao Lü anymore, let's get some rest."

Cheng Min rolled her eyes at him: "If you're going to rest, then rest. Don't even think about doing anything bad."

Chang Kun chuckled: "How can you have a baby if you don't do anything? Hurry up."

"Your aunt is pregnant, and your second aunt is pregnant too. Your family is watching your belly every day. Aren't you worried?"

Cheng Min glared at her: "How can you blame me? We've only been married for two months."

"Besides her period, she comes almost every day, sometimes three to five times a day, and it still doesn't work. Don't blame me!"

Chang Kun pushed her down onto the bed: "Maybe the positions were wrong before, but I learned a new position today, let's try it..."

"Oh no! This position is too embarrassing!"

……

The next morning, Chang Kun got up and, as soon as he pushed open the door to the west room, he saw his father talking to Liu Tiezhu in the courtyard.

Liu Tiezhu was wearing those dusty work clothes, with coal dust still stuck to his collar.

Chang Kun understood that Uncle Tiezhu had come to express his gratitude.

He walked over and greeted him, "Uncle Tiezhu, so early?"

Liu Tiezhu turned around and laughed loudly: "Xiao Kun, you did such a big thing for me, how come you didn't say a word? If I hadn't asked people repeatedly, I really wouldn't have known that you did it."

Chang Kun waved his hand: "Uncle Tiezhu, what's our relationship? There's no need for such formalities."

Liu Tiezhu waved his hand: "One thing at a time."

"No matter how good my relationship with your father is, I still have to be considerate when you help with something this big."

"Uncle's broke right now, but once I get paid, the three of us will have a meal together."

As he spoke, he handed me what he was holding: two foxtail grasses strung with grasshoppers, which were still alive, their hind legs kicking.

"I caught it by the roadside early in the morning when I went into town, and gave it to the girls at home to play with."

Chang Kun accepted it with a smile.

This stuff will cost tens of yuan per kilogram in later generations, and the quality is not good; it tastes fishy and smelly.

These two bunches of mountain vines are quite large. During the autumn harvest, their bellies are bulging. Stir-frying them into a dish makes for a delicious meal.
