Ultimately, Wu Qianfu was arrested and interrogated.

He Wu'an was immediately suspended from his post and ordered to reflect on his actions.

Everyone understood that it was Wu Qianfu, the enemy agent, who leaked the intelligence, leading to the previous enemy agents being silenced.

This can only be blamed on He Wu'an, the captain of the investigation team, who usually only cared about deceiving his superiors and subordinates, and whose team had no discipline whatsoever.

Shi Yulong has taken full control of the investigation team and is preparing for a comprehensive purge operation.

These are all stories for later. After a busy day, Chang Kun bid farewell to everyone and returned to the Zoological Research Institute, which was nearing the end of the workday.

Cheng Min was chatting with her father when she saw Chang Kun return. A smile appeared on her face. "Chang Kun, where did you go?"

"I went to the police station and did some things for my dad and Brother Cheng."

"Tsk tsk, last time my older brother was praising you at home, saying that you helped catch an enemy spy and that the station received a collective third-class merit."

Cheng Min felt a surge of pride as she recalled her older brother praising Chang Kun at home.

Chang Kun chuckled but didn't say anything.

Today we helped the police station catch three enemy agents. I wonder what reward we'll get this time.

"Oh dear, what happened to your neck and head? The skin is peeling!" Cheng Min glanced at Chang Kun and suddenly noticed that his face and head looked strange.

"I got sunburned yesterday while catching fish on my way home from the river."

"I have aloe vera gel at home, I'll go get it for you," Cheng Min said urgently as she stood up.

She bought aloe vera gel for her father, Cheng Rongjiang, so he could apply it as sunscreen when he went up the mountain.

Cheng Rongjiang lowered his head, pretending not to hear.

This girl is so unreserved.

"It's almost time to get off work. Why don't you come home with me to get it? It'll be faster that way," Cheng Min said softly, fidgeting with her fingers.

"Okay." Chang Kun's scalp was itchy and really uncomfortable; applying aloe vera gel would help.

The two rode their bicycles to Cheng Min's courtyard.

Cheng Min took out the aloe vera gel, glanced at the back of Chang Kun's neck and scalp, and hesitated a little.

"You can't see what's behind you, so... I'll help you apply it."

Chang Kun paused for a moment. Since the girl had said that, could he say no? That would be turning her away.

Sitting on the stool, Chang Kun felt a slightly cool touch on the back of his neck, and he subconsciously shrank his head.

Then I felt the softness of fingertips brushing against my skin, and a faint breath fell behind my ear.

He stared at the ground, his Adam's apple bobbing, but he didn't dare turn around.

The aloe vera gel was applied quickly, and neither of them spoke.

Chang Kun glanced at Cheng Min's flushed face, nodded without saying a word, and took his leave.

As Cheng Min watched Chang Kun walk out of the courtyard, she suddenly covered her pretty face, inwardly cursing: You shameless brat!

I rode my bike home.

On the way, we ran into my father, who was driving my mother and Chang Mu. My father was excitedly talking about how he caught an enemy spy that day.

Capturing three enemy agents in one day is nothing short of a miracle.

Chang Dashan was already fantasizing about what kind of reward he could get this time. Last time, he got a third prize for capturing one enemy agent. This time, with three enemy agents, he might be able to get a second prize.

Liu Meifen watched her son with delight. He was becoming more and more capable. If she could arrange his marriage soon, she would have nothing to worry about.

"Dad, when should we go to the Qin family and call off the engagement?"

"Alright, we have three working family members, and I'm the deputy captain of the police station. The Qin family is no match for us. I doubt they'd dare say a word against it."

Previously, Chang Dashan was concerned about the reputation of the Chang family and was also afraid that Qinjiacun would cause trouble because of the broken engagement. Now, as the deputy director of the police station, he is not afraid at all.

I've heard Liu Meifen nag me several times these past few days, saying that Cheng Min, the daughter of the Cheng family, is getting quite close to her son, and that we need to hurry up and settle the marriage with the Qin family.

Chang Kun didn't say anything. It would be better to break off the engagement sooner rather than later, so that Qin Meiru wouldn't keep bothering him.

Go home.

Chang Qing and Xiao Changxiu were flying kites in the yard, the two of them laughing happily.

Seeing this scene, Chang Kun recalled the first time he saw his younger sisters after his rebirth.

At that time, the three of them were very thin, skin and bones, and they never smiled.

At this moment, their faces were rosy, and they were running happily in the yard. The house had truly undergone a complete transformation.

"Big brother's back!"

"Big pot!"

The two little girls interrupted Chang Kun's thoughts.

Chang Kun feeds them delicious food every day, and they are now much closer to their older brother than to their parents.

"Xiao Qing, is Xiu'er being a good girl at home?"

"My sweetie... candy!" Xiu'er rushed into Chang Kun's arms, looking for candy.

He picked up Xiao Changxiu, took out a few rat droppings (dried tangerine peel) from his pocket, and let the little girls share them to whet their appetites.

Hearing the commotion, Chang Mei also came out of the house.

I went back to my parents' home for a few days, and every day I ate either braised pig's trotters with fish or braised old hen with morel mushrooms. My milk supply, which was originally very low, became plentiful, and my baby ate very happily.

Having resolved her biggest worry, she spent her days with Xiaobao, watching the two little girls play in the yard, and felt truly happy.

It just so happens that Xiao Bao's father won't be discharged from the army for another month or so, so she can enjoy herself at her parents' home. After all, she has a wonderful younger brother.

"Brother, how do you eat that pineapple? I took a bite today, and it pricked me so badly!"

Chang Qing, who had a huge sweet tooth, secretly took a bite of the pineapple when no one was looking, and cried out in pain from the prick.

"Tsk tsk, you're really something, didn't you see the thorns on it?"

Chang Kun peeled the pineapple with a knife, and several little girls sat in a row, quietly waiting to eat.

The pineapple was cut into pieces. Chang Qing picked up a piece and fed it to his mother, while Chang Mu took a piece and gave it to his father. Little Chang Xiu blinked and handed a piece to her older sister.

In the eyes of the three little girls, their eldest brother was omnipotent and didn't need them to feed him.

Chang Kun nodded, thinking that the three little ones at least had a conscience.

Only after receiving their older brother's approval did they start munching on the pineapple, its sweet and sour flavor instantly winning them over.

"Brother, this pineapple looks ugly, but it tastes really good."

"tasty!"

Chang Kun watched with a smile; it was just a pineapple, yet the little girls were so satisfied.

If this were in later generations, we'd have to practically beg them to eat some fruit.

Liu Meifen was killing an old hen nearby. This old hen no longer laid eggs, but she was killing it to feed her eldest daughter so that she would produce more milk. It wasn't a waste at all.

Chang Dashan then scooped out a few crucian carp from the broken water vat. That evening, he prepared a stew of old hen and morel mushrooms, and another stew of crucian carp.

He also couldn't bear to throw away the watermelon rinds left over from last night.

These days, anything edible, as long as it's not poisonous, shouldn't be thrown away. When people are really hungry, they'll even fight over last year's moldy dried sweet potatoes.

My son told me that watermelon rind is edible. You can cut it into strips, salt it to draw out the moisture, mix it with some sugar, and it tastes refreshing and not greasy. It's also a great accompaniment to alcohol.

He was very happy today; there was wine, meat, and grain at home, so he had to have a drink.

His son had brought him honor and made him proud, so in a few days he wanted to visit the graves again and have a good talk with his ancestors, asking them to bless his son with good health and safety.

...

After dinner and listening to the radio, I lay on the kang (a heated brick bed) and clicked on the system notification.

[Ding! Enemy Special Agent 1/1 captured, reward: Guaranteed Hit (Ten chances per day, guaranteed hit after skill activation.)]

[The current host can sense prey weighing less than 540 jin (approximately 860 kg) within a range of 1400 meters.]

Chang Kun's eyes lit up; this skill was excellent.

From now on, when hunting, as long as the prey is within shooting range, you can hit it and you will never have to worry about missing again.

We need to catch more criminals in the future and give each one a skill reward. That would be so awesome!
