"Hahaha!"

Chang Mu laughed loudly: "Xiu'er shelled so many melon seeds, and Xiao Qing ate them all in one go!"

She also wanted to steal some of Xiu'er's melon seeds, but unfortunately she wasn't as bold as Chang Qing. She regretted not acting sooner.

Chang Qing pursed her lips, secretly eating some melon seeds from Xiu'er. She was caught red-handed and felt a little embarrassed.

"Oh, Xiuer, it's just that I ate a few of your melon seeds. I'll let you have the chili peppers first later."

"You owe me melon seeds, you owe me melon seeds..." Xiu'er cried, tears streaming down her face. Her hard work had been taken away by her older sister, and her heart was broken.

Chang Kun glared at Xiao Qing. This older sister was really a handful, always finding ways to bully her younger sister.

He turned and hugged Xiuer, secretly slipping her a seashell bracelet: "Xiuer, take this to play with, don't give it to naughty Xiaoqing."

Upon seeing the colorful seashell bracelet, Xiuer's eyes lit up. She immediately stopped crying, glanced at her two older sisters, and quietly held the bracelet in her hand.

"Xiuer, what did your older brother give you?" The two older sisters were a little curious when they saw their older brother whispering to Xiuer with his back turned. They were sure their older brother had given Xiuer something nice to coax her again.

"Hmph! There's nothing there!" Xiu'er turned her back to them, not even letting them see her.

"Big brother, big brother, we want some too!" The two girls protested, each grabbing one of Chang Kun's legs and pleading.

"Let's talk about it after we finish eating the chili peppers. Little Qing stole Xiu'er's melon seeds; does she expect anything good in return?"

Chang Kun loves all his younger sisters, but if he had to choose the one he cherishes the most, it would have to be Xiuer. After all, she is the youngest, the cutest and softest, unlike Xiaoqing and Xiaomu who are mischievous and get into trouble from time to time.

Chang Qing was very good at reading people's expressions. He knew that it was really wrong of him to steal Xiu'er's melon seeds, so he stuck out his tongue and begged her to stop.

"Big brother, I know I was wrong. I'll never steal again. If you have anything good, please let me see it, okay, big brother?"

Chang Kun couldn't resist his two younger sisters' clinging to his arms and legs and their sweet talk.

"If you dare to steal again, you'll regret it!" Chang Kun tapped her forehead and took out two more seashell bracelets from his bag.

"Wow! So beautiful, thank you, big brother!"

"Thank you, brother!"

The two girls widened their eyes, snatched the seashell bracelet, and held it in their hands, exclaiming "Wow!" in amazement.

They had barely seen any sea fish, let alone these colorful seashells.

With their beautiful bracelets, they forgot all about eating chili peppers and gathered together to compare whose bracelet had more colors and whose shape was the most attractive.

The sisters chattered for a while, and Xiuer took a liking to a small seashell on Chang Qing's bracelet.

"Xiaoqing, give me this, and I'll peel more sunflower seeds for you next time."

"This... alright!" Pretty seashells are nothing compared to delicious sunflower seeds. "Big brother, help us take the seashells off, and Xiuer and I will trade them."

I helped them untie their bracelets and saw the three sisters playing together again, having completely forgotten about the time they had stolen some melon seeds.

Chang Kun slowly roasted the citrus peppers. They had a protein-like flavor when roasted, and he used to love them when he was a child. But now that he's grown up, he really can't bring himself to eat them when he sees them roasting like this.

The little girls were happily exchanging seashells on the side, and when their older brother handed them some chili peppers, they opened their mouths and ate them.

"Mmm, it smells so good! Big brother, why aren't you eating?"

Seeing how much they enjoyed their food, Chang Kun swallowed hard, then gently put a chili pepper into his mouth. He took a small bite, and the crispy, juicy pepper tasted just like the ones he had when he was a child.

The little girls chattered and laughed as they finished dividing up the chili peppers, licking their lips as if they wanted more.

"Hey, here's another toy, you can have it too." Chang Kun took out the Nine Linked Rings and distributed them to the little girls.

"The seashell was given to us by Grandpa Lei, who came to eat the other day, and this iron ring was given to us by Brother Monkey. What should we say next time we meet them?"

"We should say thank you!" The three little girls were also very polite, and said in unison, happily accepting the nine-linked rings.

He taught them how to play, putting the nine-linked rings back in their places. He himself couldn't play this game well, so he could only let the little girls play freely.

"Here are some dried red dates, you can eat them. I'll be going out for a bit." After giving these instructions, Chang Kun pushed open the door and left, leaving the three young girls behind.

Taking advantage of some free time in the afternoon, Chang Kun rode his bike to Wangfujing, found the China Photo Studio, handed over the film rolls that his family had taken in their hometown, and gave them ten yuan to develop them.

Developing old film rolls now takes quite a bit of time and effort; you have to wait several days to pick up the photos.

After strolling around Wangfujing for a while, I bought three large bags of hot pot base from Donglaishun. There's also a whole argali sheep in the room, so I can make hot pot myself when I have time.

While strolling around, I unknowingly arrived at the gate of the government primary school.

I called Cheng Min out and told her about the trip tomorrow, so she wouldn't be unable to find me.

"Chang Kun, why aren't you at work?" Cheng Min was quite happy to see Chang Kun arrive and ran lightly to him.

"I'll have half a day off. Tomorrow I'll go to Tianjin with a car, and I should be back by the day after tomorrow at the latest."

"Oh! Then you need to be careful on your way back and forth. Are you going by yourself?" Cheng Min was a little worried when she heard that she was going to travel by train. After all, her older brother was a policeman and she had heard a lot about various accidents.

"I'll go with Master Lei and Brother Monkey. We can look after each other, so don't worry."

"Yeah, just be careful on the road, and don't rush in blindly if something happens..."

Chang Kun nodded. Cheng Min's words were similar to what his mother had said; they were all concerns from family members.

"By the way, it might be a few more days before Xiaoqing and Xiaomu start school, so tell them not to worry."

Chang Kun chuckled: "They're not in a hurry at all. They've been playing so much these past two days that they've completely forgotten about school. I just got home at noon and even took them out for some spicy hot pot..."

"Ugh! How could you, as the older brother, feed them this!" Cheng Min looked disgusted and shuddered.

Chang Kun: ...

As for that expression, in the countryside, which child hasn't eaten spicy food?

Luckily, I spoke slowly and didn't mention that I had also eaten a spicy pepper. Otherwise, would they not let me kiss her lips in the future?

Thinking of this, Chang Kun glanced at Cheng Min's red lips. His future wife was naturally beautiful. She didn't use any skincare products or lipstick, yet her lips were rosy and glossy.

Cheng Min had no idea what Chang Kun was thinking. When she saw him staring at her mouth, she thought she hadn't wiped her mouth clean after eating, so she quickly reached out and wiped it a couple of times.

"Hey, you didn't wipe it clean, let me do it." The two stood in the shade, not afraid of being seen by others. Chang Kun pretended to wipe her mouth and gently pinched her cheeks, which were so smooth.

"That's enough! You're not done yet?" It had been almost a minute since Chang Kun started wiping her face, and Cheng Min's face was flushed with embarrassment. She glared at him angrily.

"Hehe, once you're married, I'll wipe for you every day." Chang Kun smiled, it was rare to see Cheng Min look so embarrassed and annoyed.
