Chapter 252 Picking Up the Bone
"Take it and eat it."
Chang Kun went outside and gave one wild egg to each of the three boys, so they wouldn't fight over it.
Holding the real wild eggs in his hand, Wang Xiaohua was excited. He sniffed hard and shouted, "Thank you, brother!"
He glanced at the wild eggs, didn't even peel them, and took a vicious bite out of the shell, swallowing them down in a few bites with a "whoosh, whoosh."
It's like Pigsy swallowing a ginseng fruit; I wonder if he even tasted it.
Moreover, these people have really good voices; they can chew up the shells of wild eggs and swallow them directly without worrying about choking.
After finishing his own wild eggs, Wang Xiaohua turned to look at his older brother, who was grinning foolishly, still thinking about taking the wild eggs home.
"If you don't like it, let me help you."
He reached out to his older brother, trying to snatch the wild eggs.
Luckily, the simple-minded older brother gripped his gun tightly. Seeing the third brother approach with the gun, he quickly put his hands behind his back and shouted, "Third brother, what are you doing? Trying to steal again?!"
The second child, having already learned from the third, didn't peel the eggshell; he put the whole egg directly into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it with his neck stiffened.
Seeing that their eldest brother hadn't eaten his wild eggs yet, the two younger brothers crowded around him, eyeing the last egg with predatory intent.
The eldest son screamed and ran home, yelling, "Dad! Mom! My brothers are stealing my eggs!!"
The old saying is really true. This eldest brother is a bit simple-minded. Both of his younger brothers ate the wild eggs, but he didn't learn from them. He just ran away with the eggs.
After witnessing the little farce, Chang Kun was about to return to his room when Chang Qing stopped him in his tracks.
"Brother, why are you giving them the wild eggs? That Wang Xiaohua is wicked; he used to try and tempt me!"
"Alright, alright, little girl, why are you so vengeful? It's been so long and you still remember this..." Chang Kun patted Xiao Qing's head and comforted her, "If you like wild eggs, I'll go pick some more for you."
"I just don't want to give them any!" Chang Qing's mouth was still puffed out, a little angry.
After finishing the roasted squirrel, Liu Meifen went into the yard and glared at Chang Qing: "You used to eat plenty of the wild vegetables your Uncle Wang sent you, but now you can't even bear to part with a wild egg?!"
"My mother's words still carry weight," Chang Qing shrank back, not daring to utter another word, and went back inside to eat.
"Xiao Kun, we're moving in three days. Have you decided who you want to invite?"
"Mom, besides our relatives, there are only three or four people in the city. I'll go and inform them later."
"Okay, I'll go to your uncle's house tomorrow and tell him."
"Ah...Mom, it's on my way home from get off work. I'll tell him tomorrow, so you won't have to make the trip again."
Fearing that his mother would find out he had caught many thieves on his first day of work when she went to his uncle's house, Chang Kun quickly took it upon himself to notify his uncle.
"Then tomorrow morning, go to your Uncle Yang's house and tell them. I don't know if your Uncle Yang will be free."
Chang Kun nodded, recalling the last time he went to his elder sister's in-laws' house, Grandpa Yang wasn't home. He said he went to catch the corn thief, but he didn't know if he had caught him.
After dinner, Chang Kun lay on the kang (a heated brick bed), while the little girls played cat's cradle next to him. Xiu'er didn't know how to play, so she lay on Chang Kun's stomach, watching her older sisters play and giggling.
Chang Kun caught nine thieves today and was really looking forward to the skill reward from the system.
[Ding! Thief captured 1/1, reward: Dexterity of Fingers - your fingers can perform all sorts of incredible movements.]
[The current host can sense prey weighing less than 1280 jin (approximately 860 kg) within a range of 3250 meters.]
Chang Kun: ...
Dexterous fingers? What's the use of that... I'm not going to be a thief.
However, if this dexterity is placed under the bed, it is also a rare and wonderful skill, similar to the previously acquired ability to pinch hardness.
As I was deep in thought, Xiuer muttered beside me, "Big brother, come help me out, bring me along to play."
Chang Kun looked up and saw that Chang Qing was holding the rope and could no longer continue.
"I don't know how to play this, but I can play Bone Picking with you."
"Pick up the thigh bones?" The little girls' eyes lit up. They all knew how to play this game, but they had never played it with their older brother.
"Big brother, I'm going out to collect pebbles, wait for me." Chang Qing is always the most enthusiastic when it comes to having fun.
"What kind of stones do you need? I'll get you some wolf thigh bones, that'll look much better."
"Oh! Really!"
"Wow! Big brother has wolf thigh bones!"
The girls were excited. When they played with other girls in the village, they heard that the best bone for collecting thigh bones was a wolf's thigh bone, and they never expected that their eldest brother would have one.
Reaching into his pocket, Chang Kun pulled out a thigh bone he'd left behind from hunting wolves: "Here, that's all. You can divide it among yourselves."
A dozen or so wolf thigh bones were scattered on the kang (a heated brick bed), and the little girls immediately pounced on them.
"Big brother, there are so many!"
"Give me two, give me two!"
"I want my own too!"
The maids were fighting over the distribution, so Chang Kun scolded them, "Xiao Qing, divide it up. If you don't distribute it well, none of you should take anything!"
The group quieted down and started dividing the remaining portion among themselves. When only one was left, everyone wanted it, and it looked like they were about to start arguing again. In the end, Chang Kun took the last one.
"That's great, no need to fight anymore. The older ones don't give way to the younger ones, and the younger ones, unable to win, have to join in and grab. They're all bad people."
Chang Muxiao lowered her head in embarrassment.
Chang Qing, thick-skinned as ever, just chuckled twice and said, "Big brother, come play with me."
"Big pot, play, play together!" Xiu'er was even more affectionate, sitting on Chang Kun's lap and wiggling her little bottom.
Normally, her older sisters don't like to play these games with her, but this time she finally has her older brother to back her up.
As Liu Meifen cleared the dishes at the stove, she listened to the noisy laughter of her siblings on the west kang (heated brick bed), feeling gratified.
With the family's financial situation improved, everyone's mood became much more cheerful, and the siblings' relationship became closer, making her, as their mother, truly happy.
After playing for a while, just as it was about time for the radio to play Peking Opera, a cheer was heard from the west kang (heated brick bed).
"Oh, big brother, I won!"
Chang Kun, being an adult and with nimble fingers, easily won by picking up the thigh bone and joining forces with Xiao Xiu'er, achieving a clean and impressive victory.
"Big brother, let's team up next time."
"I want to be with my boss!"
Seeing how skilled their eldest brother was at picking up thigh bones, the younger sisters all wanted to join his group.
"Alright, alright, let's play again next time. Go listen to the radio."
The little girls were having so much fun that they didn't really want to listen to the radio anymore.
……
Nothing happened that night. Chang Kun got up very early, skipped breakfast, and went straight to Yangjiatun to invite Grandpa Yang and his family to his new home in the city for a housewarming party.
As soon as we arrived outside Yangjiatun Village, we heard a commotion.
"Let's go, we're finally stuck in traffic!"
"Damn it, they're stealing corn every day. If we can't pay our grain tax, we're in big trouble!"
"I'd like to see who it is. They're quite capable, stealing for so many days before finally being caught by the militia."
Chang Kun looked up and saw that the leader was his eldest sister's father-in-law, Yang Shunong, the head of the commune's security team.
