Chang Kun put on a relaxed appearance.

"Auntie, what danger could there be? When they were catching the thief, I was just watching from the side. It was other police officers who did the work. I got a few pairs of shoes because I was there."

On my first day at work, I encountered thieves and caught nine of them.

He was afraid of bringing shoes home, and mentioning this made his parents and older sister worry that being a policeman was dangerous.

It's a good idea to send all the shoes to my uncle's family so that he and his wife will also have shoes to wear.

Hearing that Chang Kun was just watching from the sidelines, the uncle and aunt were relieved.

My aunt continued nagging, "If you encounter a thief in the future, stay away from the commotion so that we can escape earlier if danger arises."

Chang Kun was both amused and exasperated. In his aunt's words, the police catching thieves had become a spectacle, and that when danger struck, the police would run away first.

This kind of police officer will probably be fired within a few days.

The uncle glared at his aunt: "Nonsense! The police can't just run around like that! Xiao Kun, don't listen to your aunt's nonsense. If we encounter a thief, we'll hide behind other police officers. Let others go first if anything happens."

My aunt paused for a moment, then realized she had said the wrong thing: "Right, right, let's not run yet, let the others go first."

Although these two people said some outrageous things, they both had a lot of love and care for their nephew.

"Auntie, I'm not a child. If I'm in danger, I'll definitely hide in the back. Besides, where would there be so much danger?"

"Oh, good to know. I'll go pick Xiaoshui up tomorrow. She's been staying at your house for a long time." Afraid that Xiaoshui would cause trouble while being naughty at her aunt's house, her aunt had long wanted to bring her home.

"Let Xiaoshui stay at home. We're not short of food these days, and it'll be nice to have the girls all together, having lots of fun."

"I have to go home, it'll be dark soon."

Not wanting to argue with his aunt any longer, Chang Kun emptied the shoes out of the sack, took two squirrels and one pheasant and put them on the ground.

"These were all hunted in the mountains, so please eat them. There's still some left in the sack; it'll be enough for your family to take back with you."

He took a few quick steps out of his uncle's house, ignoring his aunt and uncle's attempts to stop him, and rode off on his bicycle.

The aunt watched Chang Kun's retreating figure from behind, muttering, "You know, this child... I wanted to go and pick up Xiao Shui, but he wouldn't listen."

"By the way, his father, I told you to save your salary to buy yarn at the supply and marketing cooperative. Do you have enough money?"

"You don't get paid until tomorrow, what's the rush! Are you worried I'll squander it?"

"I was thinking of knitting a sweater for Xiao Kun as soon as possible. The child has given us so many things and found you a job..."

The uncle nodded: "My nephew is really something!"

……

Back home, as soon as they entered the yard, the little girls heard the sound and cheered in unison.

"Big brother, big brother, the big pot is back..."

Xiao Shui helped carry the sacks.

Chang Qing and Chang Mu helped push the bicycle.

The remaining little Xiuer rushed to Chang Kun's legs, begging for a hug.

The group walked along, their mouths never stopping, chattering away. Today they were at home feeding their little one, listening to the radio, and playing with their baby.

"Hey! Big brother, you went and caught that greyhound again!"

Upon entering the main room, Chang Qing opened the sack and exclaimed in surprise.

Chang Mu and Xiao Shui also peeked inside the sack: "Wow, so many! There are even pheasants..."

"Be careful, there are still about ten wild eggs inside, don't break them." Hearing the girls shouting, Chang Kun remembered that there were still wild eggs in the sack.

"Oh, oh..." Chang Qing replied, gently placing the sack on the ground and taking out the squirrels one by one from inside.

Xiao Shui reached into the sack, found the wild eggs, and her eyes lit up. She thought about how she would have wild eggs to eat again that night. "Big brother is really amazing!"

"Big pot, put it down here!" Seeing several older sisters playing with the squirrels, Xiao Xiu'er didn't want her older brother to hold her anymore. She struggled to slide down to the ground and went to the side of the older sisters, her face full of joy.

"One, two...four...six..."

Little Xiu'er is too young to count.

"Xiao Qing and Xiao Mu, teach Xiu'er to count to ten, and we'll roast a greyhound for you to eat tonight."

"Thanks, brother, this is too easy!"

"Big brother is the best!"

The girls smiled broadly, saying that greyhound meat was much tastier than wild boar or wild donkey meat, and they had never tried roasted greyhound before.

Hearing the girls making a fuss, Chang Mei carried Xiao Bao out the door: "Xiao Kun, you're back so late today."

"I was a little late on my first day at work." Chang Kun didn't mention delivering the shoes to his uncle's house. "Where are Mom and Dad? Haven't they come back yet?"

"Yes, they would usually be home by now."

"It's nothing, something must have been holding us up. Sis, go and skin the greyhound, I'll hold Xiaobao for a bit."

Chang Kun reached out and hugged Xiao Bao, then playfully teased his chubby chin with his finger, which was quite amusing.

With his dark, bright eyes fixed on Chang Kun, Xiao Bao couldn't help but smile, drool spilling from the corner of his mouth.

At this stage, the baby has begun to recognize people. Before even smiling for a minute, if the baby feels something is wrong when being held, they will clench their little fists and make a few "ah ah" sounds, starting to fake cry.

The yard was in chaos. The eldest sister wanted to skin the squirrel, but the little girls refused and ran around the yard with the baby squirrel in their arms.

"Big sister, these greyhounds are a family, they have parents, sisters, brothers, and more. We haven't had enough fun yet!"

"What kind of family are you? You want to eat and play at the same time? I think you're all itching for a beating!"

Chang Mei finally caught up with Chang Qing, running out of breath.

"Big sister, I want to play, I want to play!" Xiu'er pounced on Chang Mei's side, hugging her leg and refusing to let her peel the skin.

Holding the little boy and rocking him back and forth, Chang Kun finally calmed him down. Watching the group making a ruckus in the yard, Chang Kun came up with an idea: "Xiao Qing, you guys quickly help Big Sister skin all the greyhounds. After eating the meat, the skins are still family."

The girls stared at each other for a moment and thought about it. What their eldest brother said made sense. They could skin the squirrel clean and then play with the remaining skin.

"Big sister, big sister, let us help peel them."

The group found something fun to do, and without waiting for Changmei's instructions, they ran to the main room and brought out a kitchen knife and a large basin with a clanging sound.

Just then, the sound of a bicycle came from outside the door; it was my parents coming home.

"Dad, Mom, my older brother caught a lot of greyhounds."

"We even helped peel the skin."

"I've already fed him/her the little fire cake."

Several maids spoke up one after another. Xiu'er stood in front of her mother, puffing out her chest: "Mother, let me count, one, two, three, four..."

Hearing this, Liu Meifen beamed, "Oh, you're all so well-behaved today! Xiu'er can even count now!"

When Xiuer counted to ten, she waved her hand and pushed the little girl aside: "Go to the side for now, Xiao Kun, come here."

He took a pair of pants off his arm, shook them open, and gave them a light shake: "Look, Xiaomin made these for you. They're beautifully made."

"Did Sister Xiaomin make this?"

"Wow, this is for my older brother, are there any for us?"

Several little girls chattered and gathered around, all wanting to reach out and touch the pants.

*Slap!* Chang Qing was the quickest to reach out and was slapped on the back of his hand.

Liu Meifen glared at her: "You're everywhere! Your hands are filthy, and you dare to touch me like that?!"
