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

These days, you don't need to clock in for work.

Chang Kun chatted with his mother and brother-in-law, and Liu Meifen smiled broadly when the topic of the courtyard house came up.

"Come on, Merlin, I'll take you to see it."

When you're truly a family, you'll definitely share happy occasions together.

Unlike later generations, when good things happen, people only dare to enjoy them secretly, fearing that others will find out and cause trouble behind their backs.

Liu Meilin put on the new shoes and stomped them on the ground a few times: "You know what, these cloth shoes are more comfortable than Sanli Diu."

That's right. Straw sandals that could only be worn for three miles before being discarded, no matter how well made, could never compare to cloth shoes, not to mention the various kinds of shoes that came with them in later generations, such as sneakers and air shoes.

After walking for two or three minutes, they arrived at the entrance of No. 99 Nanluoguxiang. Suddenly, Liu Meifen thought of something.

"Merlin, have you been walking to work these past few days?"

Liu Meilin nodded. For rural people, a two- or three-hour round trip is nothing at all.

"Well... once this yard is tidied up and we move in, you can ride the bicycle that my husband and I used to ride. It'll be convenient for commuting to and from work."

Upon hearing this, Liu Meilin quickly waved her hand, saying that bicycles were too precious to be ridden by others.

"It's settled then. If Xiao Kun can find you a job, then he can certainly find you a bicycle."

"But...but I don't know how to ride one!" Liu Meilin spread his hands, there was really nothing he could do, even if you gave him a bicycle, he wouldn't know how to handle it.

"What's so difficult about that? If you can walk, you can ride a bike. Just tie a pole to the back, and you'll figure it out after falling a few times." Liu Meifen waved her hand confidently.

Chang Kun said these words to his parents when they were learning to ride bicycles.

"What? This is such a precious thing, who would be willing to break it!" Liu Meilin had the same reaction as Chang Dashan at the time. Bicycles are so valuable, let alone breaking them, even a minor bump or scratch would make one feel heartbroken for a long time.

Liu Meifen chuckled. Back then, she and Liu Meilin were both very careful with large items like bicycles.

After riding her bike for a while, she came to a realization: since her son was capable, she didn't need to be stingy. Every night, so many people came to her house to listen to the radio, and she never turned anyone away.

"Uncle, you can ride that bicycle later. Otherwise, leave it here. Your parents won't need it for work, and it'll rust if they don't ride it for a long time," Chang Kun advised.

Liu Meilin looked at Liu Meifen, then at Chang Kun, her heart filled with emotion. How did she end up with such a wonderful older sister and nephew?

You say the bicycle is just sitting there unused? But we have a few little girls at home, Xiaoqing and Xiaomu, who will need it sooner or later.

This was clearly because they saw that I was spending too much time commuting between home and the city every day, so they specially lent me a bicycle to take care of me.

Upon entering the courtyard house, Liu Meilin's mouth dropped open.

"Xiao Kun, this...this entire yard, is it all ours?"

"Four rooms, and a large courtyard, where at least two more rooms can be built..."

Look at these bluestone slabs on the ground, and the houses are all made of fine blue bricks! Oh my! And these tables and chairs, look at this wood... the craftsmanship is really good!

Liu Meilin strolled around the courtyard, feeling as if she were in a dream. In the previous dynasty, this kind of courtyard was where princes and high-ranking officials lived. Now, her eldest sister's family could live here?

My nephew has become so capable now? No wonder he was able to find me a job.

Liu Meifen looked proud. This house, not to mention Liu Meilin, even she herself felt a sense of unreality every time she came here.

She was so happy to think that she could live in this courtyard for most of the rest of her life.

Reaching the southeast corner, Liu Meilin saw the outline of a fishpond being dug out and grinned, "Xiao Kun, this fishpond is pretty good. It'll bring in wealth. I'll catch some fish from the river and raise them in there."

He usually loves to go down to the river to catch fish, and he often has a good catch.

Knowing he had no way to repay the kindness of his elder sister's family, he did small things to express his gratitude.

Chang Kun smiled and nodded: "That's great! I was worried that we wouldn't have any fish to raise in the pond later."

He fully accepted his uncle's kindness.

Liu Meifen chuckled softly, not exposing Chang Kun's true colors.

There are still quite a few fish in the broken water tank at my old home in the countryside. They were all caught by my son when he went down to the river. Xiaoqing, Xiaomu, and the other girls don't like to eat grass carp or common carp anymore, saying they think they have too many bones and the meat is too fishy.

At this point, the son said he was worried that there were no fish to raise in the fishpond, which was clearly an excuse.

The three chatted idly in the courtyard for a while before leaving to go to work.

As Chang Kun passed by the entrance of the security brigade, he saw Zhang Quhun walking towards him with two other security team members, who were tying up a person.

Along the way, Zhang Quhun continued to grumble indignantly, occasionally kicking the person he was escorting.

"Cricket, what's wrong?" Chang Kun stopped the car and asked.

Looking up and seeing Chang Kun, Zhang Quhun grinned: "Brother Kun, look who this is!"

He grabbed the man's hair and made him look up.

"Eh!" Chang Kun was startled. It was Jin Sanjia. He hadn't shown his face since he ran away from home in chapter fifty-something. He never expected to run into him here.

What a twist of fate! Back then, Jin Sanjia abandoned Zhang Quhun's father and elder brother in the mountains, almost feeding them to wild wolves.

At this moment, Jin Sanjia fell into Zhang Quhun's hands, which was the karmic retribution.

"Cricket, you're taking revenge for personal reasons..." At this moment, Chang Kun was unaware that Jin Sanjia had tipped him off, telling others about the treasures he possessed, such as bear bile and pig gallstones.

They just thought Zhang Quhun had captured Jin Sanjia and wanted to teach him a lesson.

"What the hell, Brother Kun? This bastard almost got you into trouble!" Zhang Quhun yelled, raising his hand and slapping Jin Sanjia across the face.

"What happened?"

"You encountered four robbers today, right? We brought them back to the station and started interrogating them. Old Sun wasn't even done with the torture yet, and they already confessed..."

After starting work, Zhang Quhun changed from his previous dull speech and became very talkative.

"Stop, stop, stop! Get to the point!"

"Oh, they confessed that Kim Sam-ga tipped them off, so we went and arrested him."

"Tip me in the foot?" Chang Kun glanced at Jin Sanjia, noticing his bruised and swollen face, clearly indicating that he had received special treatment from Zhang Quhun on the way.

"Now he's an apprentice in a traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy, sweeping and wiping tables every day," Zhang Quhun finally got to the point.

At this point, Chang Kun finally understood that his encounter with the robbers was indeed due to Jin Sanjia's machinations; otherwise, how would others have known that he possessed a treasure?

At this moment, Jin Sanjia lowered his head, not daring to look at Zhang Quhun, much less Chang Kun.

As Chang Kun's former lackey, his current predicament is truly a case of reaping what he sowed.

In stark contrast is Zhang Quhun.

This village's notorious simpleton, following Chang Kun, transformed himself into a security guard in the city.

One is a policeman, the other a prisoner—the difference is like night and day. Jin Sanjia regrets it so much he wants to kill himself!

He opened his mouth, his face flushed, before finally managing to choke out, "Brother Kun, Ququ, I'm so sorry..."

He was from the same village, someone I grew up with, and his actions were truly outrageous.

Seeing that Chang Kun and Zhang Quhun ignored him, he shook his head, indicating that the ropes binding him were too tight: "These are tied too tightly."

Chang Kun curled his lip. "You dare to imitate Lü Bu's speech?"

They lacked Lü Bu's abilities, but they learned Lü Bu's treacherous and servile character!
