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

The aroma of food filled the main room once again.

Sun Xiulan came out carrying a large porcelain basin containing freshly heated shredded pork noodles, steaming hot.

"Come on, Xiao Kun, Minmin, you two have something to eat too." Sun Xiulan placed the basin in the middle of the table and invited them over.

Chang Kun waved his hand: "Mom, we've already eaten. You and Dad can save it for tomorrow morning."

"Even if you've already eaten, you have to have a couple of bites!" Sun Xiulan handed him a pair of chopsticks without saying a word.

"The meat and grain you've been sending lately are far more than we can eat. Xiao Xin is growing, so he needs to eat more too."

Cheng Xin sat at the table, his eyes sparkling as he looked at the bowl of shredded pork noodles, but he scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"Sister, brother-in-law, you two eat, I...I'm not hungry."

"You have to eat, even if you're not hungry!" Cheng Min glared at him and pushed the bowl in front of him. "You have to run and train every day; where will you get the energy if you don't eat?"

Cheng Xin then picked up his chopsticks and began to eat heartily.

Cheng Rongjiang sat at the table, picked up the wine bottle, and poured Chang Kun a full glass of wine.

As for Cheng Xin, he is still young and cannot drink alcohol, and Cheng Jie is a lightweight who can't hold his liquor, so he wouldn't even dare to touch it.

"Come on, Xiao Kun, have a drink with your father." Cheng Rongjiang raised his glass.

Chang Kun smiled and picked up his wine glass, but just as he was about to drink, he felt a slight pain in his thigh.

He looked down and saw Cheng Min glaring at him, her eyes full of warning.

Chang Kun inwardly groaned.

This leopard whip liquor is very strong. He was already so strong that she couldn't handle it. If she drank another cup, she would suffer tonight.

He quickly put down his glass and whispered, "Dad, I'm not drinking anymore. I have to ride my bike home later."

Cheng Rongjiang glared at him: "Stop talking nonsense! Drink! It's just one glass of wine, you can't possibly get drunk!"

Chang Kun had no choice but to bite the bullet and drink the wine.

After the family finished their meal in a lively atmosphere, Chang Kun and Cheng Min got up to say goodbye.

Cheng Min held Sun Xiulan's hand, somewhat reluctant to part:

"Mother, how about I come back again tomorrow night?"

Sun Xiulan quickly waved her hand: "Daughter, you're tired from work, don't run back and forth. Everything's fine at home, don't worry about me."

Cheng Min pursed her lips and didn't say anything. She didn't mind being tired herself, but she felt a little sorry for her man having to run around with her.

Cheng Xin stood to the side, his eyes slightly red.

He was reluctant to leave his family, especially his sister. He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"Alright, stop dawdling." Cheng Jie patted his shoulder. "It's not like your sister and brother-in-law aren't coming back. Go see them off."

Cheng Xin sniffed and followed Chang Kun until they were out of the alley, still watching them longingly.

"Go back quickly, it's windy outside." Cheng Min waved to him.

Cheng Xin chuckled and remained standing at the alley entrance, watching until their figures disappeared into the night.

The night breeze was cool, and the road was quiet except for the soft sound of bicycle chains turning.

Cheng Min sat in the back seat, her arms tightly wrapped around Chang Kun's waist, her cheek pressed against his broad back.

After a long silence, she sighed softly and said gently, "Chang Kun, do you think Xiao Xin is on the right path by joining the army?"

She paused, her voice filled with deep reluctance:

"He's so young, yet he has to leave home so far away. I don't know what he'll encounter in the army, or what the future holds... I'm always so worried."

Chang Kun pedaled his bicycle, feeling the warmth of Cheng Min on his back, and gently comforted her:

"Xiaomin, try to think more positively. Life was much harder back when we were fighting the Japanese."

"The Japanese devils don't care about the age of our children, from eighty- or ninety-year-old old men to infants who can't even walk yet. Which of these beasts would they spare?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Min pursed her lips and remained silent.

It's not that she's unaware of the situation; it's just that when something like this really happens to her, who wouldn't have selfish motives?

Which older sister doesn't hope that her younger brother can stay by her side, healthy and safe, and live a peaceful life?

There was no other way during the war.

But now, with an older brother who is the director and a capable brother-in-law, Xiao Xin doesn't need to suffer this hardship at all.

However, she kept these words to herself and would never dare to say them aloud.

She was afraid that if she spoke out, Chang Kun would think she lacked awareness and only cared about her own family, not the greater good.

If Chang Kun knew what she was thinking, he would probably shake his head and laugh.

Only people at this stage of life have such pure minds, regarding dedication and sacrifice as the highest honor.

In later generations, heroes will only be briefly remembered by people on specific holidays.

As for the usual routine? It's all about celebrities and trainees dominating the headlines, surrounded by groups of underage girls shouting "brother!"

When I got home, as soon as I opened the gate, I heard a noisy chattering.

A group of little girls were playing in the yard. Cheng Min wasn't home today, so Xiao Qing and the others quickly finished their homework and then went off to play.

Chang Kun and Cheng Min looked around and immediately burst into laughter.

Several maids were seen squatting in the courtyard, each occupying a corner, holding a pair of chopsticks. They were looking quite serious, with their buttocks sticking out, and using the moonlight and the light coming from the main room, they were constantly searching in the cracks between the blue bricks and under the walls.

Chang Kun suppressed a laugh and asked, "What are you all doing?"

Liu Meifen was peeling garlic under the eaves when she heard this and replied irritably:

"It's all because of the scorpions you caught! These girls heard that scorpions like to crawl into cracks in walls and bricks, and they insist that there are scorpions in our yard too, and they've been making a fuss about catching them."

Liu Meifen was actually feeling uneasy.

The courtyard is paved with blue bricks, so there are bound to be some gaps. If there really is a scorpion hiding inside and it stings these little guys, they'll definitely cry out in pain.

Since they have nothing else to do, it's good to let them do this work and find out the hidden dangers in the gaps.

Cheng Min went over to watch the commotion and asked with a smile, "So, how many have you caught?"

Xiuer pouted and said without looking up:

"Sister Xiaomin, wait a little longer, I'll catch you soon!"

She was wondering why, back in the afternoon, she had clearly seen her older brother flip over a brick and catch a scorpion.

How come so many of them have searched for so long and haven't even seen a scorpion leg? That's really strange!

Xiuer poked at the brick seams with her chopsticks while muttering to herself:

"Did my brother cheat?"
