After a long while, the crowd erupted in an uproar.

This news is truly earth-shattering!

Everyone here is a farmer, and if your family suddenly gets lucky and catches a wild boar, that's fine.

Later, they were lucky again, they hunted down wolves and black bears, and they were lucky again, they found connections with people in the city, and the whole family went to work in the city.

That's all fine. What everyone sees is a poor boy who, through luck and ability, suddenly starts a business and makes his family rich.

They had watched this poor boy grow up. He was a good-for-nothing when he was young, like a good-for-nothing. How did he suddenly change so much that they couldn't even recognize him!

More importantly, at this time, they suddenly heard that the company this poor boy started had gone public?

This was completely outrageous and beyond the villagers' imagination.

The people in the courtyard stood there for a while, their murmurs almost lifting the roof off.

"This! The piece was actually composed by Xiao Kun?!"

"Meifen, you're not kidding, are you?!"

"I told you long ago, Xiao Kun was no ordinary person, and now it's confirmed!"

"My grandson must be named Chengkun!"

Even more outrageous, someone whispered in Liu Meifen's ear, "Does Xiao Kun need a housewarming maid? My niece..."

Liu Meifen curled her lips and ignored the man. Her son was so capable now, why would she need a niece like his?

Everyone in the courtyard gathered around Liu Meifen and Chang Dashan, asking them all sorts of questions.

In those days, having a radio was not as simple as watching television in later generations.

This has exceeded their expectations, comparable to the absurdity of later generations of Suqian residents learning that JD.com was actually founded by a poor boy from their village.

"Xiao Qing, go burn some more seasonal birds to entertain your grandparents." Liu Meifen was in such a good mood today that she decided to be generous.

Chang Dashan laughed heartily, feeling truly delighted as he listened to the others' flattering words.

Listening to Liu Meifen and Chang Dashan's cheerful voices in the courtyard, as well as the girls' giggling and commotion, Chang Kun felt that it was all worthwhile.

As long as his family is happy, what does it matter if he copies a few songs?

With his head resting under his arm and his legs crossed, Chang Kun opened the system to check.

[Ding! Robber captured 1/1, reward: Dialect Mastery - The host can automatically master various local dialects.]

[The current host can sense prey weighing less than 1080 jin (approximately 860 kg) within a range of 2750 meters.]

[Ding! 100/100 cicadas caught, reward: 1 pound of salted and peppered cicadas.]

[The current host can sense prey weighing less than 1100 jin (approximately 860 kg) within a range of 2800 meters.]

This skill is pretty good. Although it doesn't increase combat power, it's a godsend if you're going to other places, since Mandarin isn't widely spoken across the country at that time.

Different dialects and customs exist every ten miles. It will be very necessary to help Cheng Min go to other places to find her mother and brother and communicate with the locals.

However, if you want to take Cheng Min to find her relatives, you'll have to wait until after you get engaged to her.

These days, it's not so simple to take a girl out alone; you could easily end up being accused of indecent assault.

Lost in thought and listening to the noise in the courtyard, Chang Kun gradually fell asleep.

The crowd in the courtyard made noise until very late before slowly dispersing.

The news that Chang Kun's composition was on the radio will surely spread like wildfire throughout the surrounding villages.

Xiao Shui and her friends stayed up very late. She was so excited. Before, she was the only child in her family, and there was no one to talk to at night.

She always wanted her parents to give her a younger brother or sister to keep her company, but she never imagined that having another person in the family would mean having another mouth to feed. These days, raising an extra person can be a huge burden on a family.

Early the next morning.

When Chang Kun woke up, he went to check on the little girls on the east kang (heated brick bed). He was worried that Xiu'er might have wet the bed and soaked her diaper.

On the east kang, Xiao Qing had her arm around Xiao Shui, Chang Mu had one arm pressing down on both of them, and Xiu'er had somehow turned around, with her feet on Chang Mu's face, her little belly bulging as she slept soundly.

They had a blast last night and couldn't wake up this morning.

I rummaged through my contacts, took out a bunny ear headband, and secretly put it on Xiaoshui's head.

Each of the girls in the family has one of these headbands, and we still have a few left from the system rewards, so it's perfect to give them to Xiaoshui.

Upon entering the main room, Chang Kun rummaged through the cloth bag and found that there were still quite a few seasonal birds left inside. He immediately heated oil in a wok and deep-fried the rest of them.

The aroma of seasonal birds can be enhanced by charcoal roasting, made even crispier and more fragrant by deep-frying, and given a unique flavor by salt and pepper.

When his parents returned from cutting grass on the mountain to feed the chickens, Chang Kun had already fried Ji Niao'er. He put half of it into his spatial storage and the other half into a bowl for the little ones to eat.

I heated up the leftover oil residue from yesterday a little and put it in the same space.

Time stood still in that space, so these things were still warm when taken out, making them taste the best.

Having not seen Cheng Min for several days, he planned to visit her today and tell her the good news about the song being played on the radio.

"Dad, Mom, boil some eggs for them, I'm going to work."

"Hey, Xiao Kun, aren't you going to eat?" Liu Meifen called out to Chang Kun as he rushed out.

"I'm not eating. I haven't seen Cheng Min for several days. I'm going to find her and get something to eat."

"Then hurry up and go!" This time, Liu Meifen didn't keep Chang Kun to eat eggs, but instead urged him to leave quickly.

The mother was the happiest when her son finally understood.

Seeing one good thing after another happening in her family, Liu Meifen walked with a spring in her step, often humming Peking Opera tunes. At the supply and marketing cooperative, she smiled at everyone she met, showing none of the aloofness of a saleswoman.

Chang Dashan glanced at his son's retreating figure and couldn't help but laugh: "His mother, let's go propose marriage on an auspicious day."

"I'll ask around later, this is a big deal... Besides, it has to wait until we move to the city, then we can get married, and Xiao Kun and Xiao Min can live in the room on the east side... And then give me a big, fat grandson, just thinking about it makes me happy."

Well, they're not even engaged yet, and my mother's already thinking about her grandson. She's got a knack for pressuring old ladies to get married in later generations...

At this moment, Xiao Shui woke up groggily on the east kang, rubbed her eyes, and then remembered that she had stayed at her aunt's house last night and slept with her sisters Xiao Qing and Xiao Mu.

Suddenly, I felt my hair was a little tight, so I scratched my head and pulled off a pink bunny ear headband.

"Oh my god! What is this?!" she exclaimed.

The noise woke Xiao Mu up. Chang Mu took Xiu'er's smelly feet off her face, muttering, "Xiu'er is never still when she sleeps."

Seeing that Xiao Shui was holding a brand new bunny ear headband, she exclaimed, "This must have been brought by my older brother; we all have one!"

As she spoke, she climbed onto the small kang (heated brick bed) at the far east end and took three hairbands from the small window: "Look, these were given to us by our eldest brother before. Xiuer never washes her hands; she's the dirtiest one."

Xiao Shui looked at the new hairband in her hand, then at the three hairbands in Chang Mu's hand, a little uncertain: "This, is it really from my brother?"

She had never seen anything so pink before, and thought it was absolutely adorable.

Chang Mu nodded: "Of course, that's how you wear it."

She helped Xiaoshui put on the headband, then took Xiaoshui's hand and said, "Come on, let's look in the mirror. I really liked this at first, but my older brother bought a lot of fun things later, so I didn't like it as much anymore."

Xiao Shui looked on with envy. How could anyone not like something so beautiful?

Just then, Xiu'er, who was still asleep on the kang (a heated brick bed), squeezed her legs together and mumbled sleepily, "Big brother, I need to pee..."

Chang Mu was startled, then immediately realized what was happening and shouted, "Mom, come quick! Xiu'er is about to wet the bed again!"
