Cheng Min and Chang Qing stared wide-eyed at Chang Kun, waiting for him to explain what barbecue was.

"No need to ask, just bring your mouth tomorrow and wait to eat," Chang Kun chuckled.

There's pork belly, sika deer, and flying dragon in the space, and plenty more. The little girls will definitely eat until their mouths are greasy.

Moreover, we can take the opportunity to catch some bean worms in Guangde Village, fry them in oil, and Chang Kun has been craving this for several days.

"Okay, then I'll wait to eat." Cheng Min smiled happily. She knew that Chang Kun was amazing; he could always get all kinds of delicious food.

Chang Qing clapped and cheered from the side. After eating yellow catfish and grouse these past few days, her palate had become quite discerning.

I imagine that the barbecue that my brother makes must be delicious.

After giving some mushrooms and bird fruits to Cheng Min, Chang Kun said goodbye and took his sister home directly.

We're having a barbecue tomorrow, so we still need to prepare quite a few things.

With a basket on my back, I first went to the river and caught seven or eight blackfish, plus five or six yellow catfish, a few large eels, and small crucian carp.

When I got home, I put five grouse, several large pieces of roe deer tenderloin, and half a sika deer thigh in my basket.

"Xiao Qing, Xiao Mu, come out and tidy up."

Chang Kun entrusted the task of plucking the dragon's feathers to his two younger sisters.

After settling Xiaobao in, the eldest sister, Changmei, went out to help kill the fish.

"Sis, I'll make braised eel and crucian carp soup for dinner, that'll do." After being away from home for two days, the first thing I did upon returning was to nourish my family.

The eldest sister rolled her eyes at Chang Kun, saying, "Listen to what he's saying!"

Is this what you call making do? Even the richest family wouldn't dare say that!

Chang Kun went to the stove himself, cut the roe deer tenderloin into small pieces, and strung them together with thin willow twigs he had cut by the river.

The other meat, sika deer meat, is too nutritious for the little girls to eat too much of. It's first marinated with barbecue seasoning, and only one piece of meat is skewered on each willow twig.

After everything was done, I threw it all into my spatial storage when no one else was looking.

Having space is great; time stands still, so there's no need to worry about the ingredients not being fresh.

Inside the courtyard, the three sisters were cleaning the fish and pheasants, eating mushrooms and bird fruits.

Chang Qing was telling Chang Mu about going to Wangfujing to see a monkey show and to the school to watch the elementary school students playing games.

"Xiao Mu, they play a game called hopscotch. Let's play it too sometime."

Hearing this, Chang Xiu hurriedly exclaimed, "I want to play too!"

Her two older sisters never liked to include her when they played together, so they couldn't leave her out this time.

Chang Qing pouted: "That's a game for big kids, you little one wouldn't know how to play it."

"Wow! Huge pot, huge pot... Xiao Qing is bullying us!"

Seeing that her older sister refused to play with her, Xiu'er rushed to the main room with her short legs, hugged Chang Kun and cried, wiping her snot all over him.

"You two are supposed to be the older sisters, how dare you take care of your younger sister!"

There are many sisters in the family, and whenever the youngest one cries, the older sisters will definitely be questioned.

Hearing his older brother's question, Chang Qing also felt wronged: "Xiu'er wanted to play hopscotch with us, but she's too young..."

Chang Kun frowned. There was nothing he could do. He squatted down and picked up Xiu'er, saying, "We won't play with them. Tomorrow, your big brother will take you to a barbecue and catch bean worms."

"Okay, okay! Roast some, and tease the dragon..." Chang Xiu smiled through her tears after receiving her older brother's promise.

Playing with my older brother is so much more fun than playing with my two older sisters. Xiao Qing and Xiao Mu only know how to bully me. I will never share any good food with them again!

Xiao Qing and Xiao Mu were plucking dragon feathers, while Xiu'er squatted to the side, pouting as she picked out the prettiest feathers, hoping to save up enough for her older brother to make her a shuttlecock so that her two older sisters wouldn't have a chance to play with it.

Amidst the noisy chatter of the little girls, their parents returned home from get off work.

"Xiao Kun, I found a master craftsman today. He can make several vests from those fox furs. Each of us sisters will get one, and I'll also give one to Xiao Min."

As soon as Liu Meifen got home, she happily told Chang Kun that the fox fur felt really good and that it would be so impressive to make clothes and hats for the family to wear.

Upon hearing this, Chang Mei stepped forward and asked, "Mother, what kind of fox fur is this, and what kind of vest is it?"

"This is your brother Xiao Kun. He went out for two days and came back with a lot of fox fur. He made them all into vests, hats, and scarves. He'll also make a small quilt for Xiao Bao so he won't get cold in the winter."

"Xiao Kun, why didn't you say anything when you got back? Just make a small blanket for Xiao Bao, I don't need the vest."

Chang Mei has been back at her parents' home for so many days, and she's been eating fish and meat every day, with food to share. She's starting to feel a little embarrassed.

"These are all from the mountains, so don't worry about wearing them, we have plenty of these." With the system around, the first priority is definitely to make sure the family eats well, dresses well, and lives well!

"Also, Mother, you should make yourself a vest. There are so many fox furs, don't be stingy," Chang Kun advised his mother again.

It's just that no men wear fox fur these days, otherwise I would have gotten one for myself and my dad no matter what.

After the family finished dinner, they scooped out several large black carp and eels from the water tank, and Chang Kun strolled over to Zhang Quhun's house.

If it weren't for Ququ risking his life to save Cheng Min and the three girls yesterday, they would have been in real danger.

"Cricket, are you done eating? I caught a few fish in the river this afternoon, find a place to keep them for now."

When Chang Kun arrived at the Zhang family's house, Zhang Pianxin, the old man of the Zhang family, was squatting outside the door with a cornbread in his hands, eating it bit by bit.

Meanwhile, Zhang Quhun was washing his old military uniform issued by the security brigade. Summer wasn't over yet, and every day his clothes were soaked with sweat; the smell was truly awful...

"Xiao Kun is here! Come in and sit down... Why did you bring things when you came to my house!" Zhang Pianxin stood up immediately when he saw Chang Kun enter.

Recently, my second son, Zhang Quhun, started working at the security brigade. He earns more than nine yuan a month and gets two free meals every day.

Zhang Quhun would often save a cornbread bun during his lunch break at work and bring it home for his father, which deeply moved Zhang Pianxin.

Everyone says that raising a son is for old age security, but he now understands that his eldest son is completely unreliable and that his wife, Fu Dimo, is the one who calls the shots in the family.

In the end, he was only able to barely get a full meal thanks to this foolish second son.

He will never forget that it was Chang Kun who introduced the job to Sha Er'er. Now in the village, if anyone dares to say a bad word about the Chang family, he will be the first to object.

"Brother Kun!" Zhang Quhun greeted him with a simple smile.

Chang Kun nodded and poured the fish into a small puddle dug in Zhang's yard.

"Cricket, how's work lately? Nobody's bullying you, right?"

It's common for new employees to be bullied by seasoned veterans when they first join the company; this is human nature, both now and in the future.

"No, Captain He takes good care of me, and no one else dares to bully me."

"That's good." Chang Kun nodded and glanced at the cornbread in Zhang Pianxin's hand. "Are you getting enough to eat at the security brigade for two meals a day?"

Zhang Quhun scratched his head and hesitated for a moment: "Anyway, it's much better than when I was at home."

Chang Kun understood that there was still a food shortage in the city. Zhang Quhun had saved a cornbread for his father, and he could only ensure that he wouldn't be hungry. It would be difficult for him to have a full meal.

He remembered that the security brigade was under the jurisdiction of the street office. He thought that if he took the crickets to get acquainted with Director Wang of the street office, he might be able to advance further in the future.

This foolish brother disregarded the danger of the gun barrel for the sake of the little girl and Cheng Min; he should remember this kindness in his heart.

After exchanging a few casual words, Chang Kun turned and went home, without mentioning at all that the cricket had saved someone.

Some things don't need to be said aloud.

That's... what men are like.
