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

After chatting for a few minutes with the head of the teaching department, the two said goodbye and parted ways.

Cheng Min stared wide-eyed at the departing dean of students: "Chang Kun, this...this is it?"

Chang Kun: "Otherwise what? It's not that complicated. I give him some gifts, and he does things for me. It's that simple."

Cheng Min touched her forehead, somewhat doubting that this was real. She had begged her first-grade homeroom teacher for a long time without success, but it was no big deal for the dean of students.

"Hehe, don't worry about that. If something like this happens again, just tell me and I'll take care of it." Chang Kun knew that Cheng Min wasn't quite ready to accept gift-giving yet.

Most people these days haven't learned this trick yet.

Unlike in later generations, where parents always feel something is amiss if they don't give their teachers a gift on Teacher's Day...

"Do you want to come home with me and see Xiaoqing and the others? You can also help me check the characters they've learned." Chang Kun looked at Cheng Min with a smile. He always got furious when he tested the little girls on their vocabulary, so this time he wanted Cheng Min to be the bad guy and give it a try.

"Okay!" Cheng Min also missed the girls a bit. When she was with them, she felt they were noisy, but without them, she always felt something was missing.

The two rode their bicycles together back to the courtyard house.

No one's home; the girls must have gone out to play again.

"Sit on the stool for a while, I'll prepare some dishes for you to take home later."

Cheng Min quickly advised, "Don't bother. The dishes I brought back last night were for my dad to drink with, and he drank quite a bit."

"Then... I'll boil some potatoes and sweet potatoes, and you can take some cabbage and radishes back with you. You can chop some up and make a cold salad, it'll taste good too." The vegetables and grains in the space have matured, and Chang Kun has already planted a new batch.

Cheng Min couldn't refuse any longer, so she nodded and agreed: "Okay then. I've been to the market for days and haven't been able to get any vegetables. I don't know where you got them from."

Chang Kun chuckled but didn't answer. The food in the space was enough for his family to eat for a year and a half.

While Chang Kun was busy in the kitchen, Cheng Min picked up a broom from the corner and swept around, showing that she didn't consider herself an outsider at all.

"Oh! Sister Xiaomin, Sister Xiaomin is here!!"

The three maids burst through the door and cheered when they saw Cheng Min.

"Sister Xiaomin, you haven't come for several days. I was hoping you could take me to see the monkey show." Chang Qing kept talking non-stop.

Chang Mu and Chang Xiu also looked up at Cheng Min, their faces full of longing.

"All you ever think about is playing." Cheng Min wiped the sweat from their foreheads. "How many characters have you learned so far?"

"what?"

Children are most afraid of being asked about their studies and grades.

Upon hearing Cheng Min's question, the three girls' faces fell and they all lowered their heads.

"Go inside and get the books, I'll teach you." The three girls hadn't started school yet, and Cheng Min couldn't bear to scold them, so she could only patiently teach them again.

"Oh—okay!" The initial excitement instantly vanished.

Before long, the sound of neat recitation of "Heaven, Earth, Man, Sun, Moon, and Light" rang out in the courtyard.

Hearing the sound of reading aloud, Chang Kun grinned. Finally, someone was keeping these troublemakers in check.

"Come and eat roasted sweet potatoes and potatoes." After they read it three times, Chang Kun took out a few sweet potatoes and potatoes.

These are all cooked over a wood fire in the stove; they taste much better than boiled ones.

"Wow! Roasted sweet potatoes!"

The three little girls cheered in unison, dropped their books, and ran straight to Chang Kun's side.

"Get out of the way, they're still very hot." Chang Kun placed the charred sweet potatoes and potatoes on the stone bench next to the fish pond and broke them apart to cool.

The little girls stuck their bottoms out, lay on the stools, and blew on the food, all eager to eat.

Chang Kun ignored them, took a steaming sweet potato, broke it in half, and gave one half to Cheng Min.

The roasted sweet potatoes have a honey-colored, oily interior that makes them incredibly appetizing.

Taking a gentle bite, the soft, chewy texture melts on the tongue, filling the mouth with a warm, sweet aroma. Cheng Min gave Chang Kun a reproachful look: "Eat it! What are you staring at me for?"

Chang Kun blushed. The way Cheng Min had stuck out her tongue to lick the sweet potato was so tempting that he had momentarily lost his focus.

As evening approached, a cool breeze blew as the little girls ate sweet potatoes and potatoes, chattering and making a racket.

"Brother, the sweet potato peel is delicious, it's so sweet."

However, without realizing it, Xiaoqing peeled off all the sweet potato skins and ate them. In the past, when the family was poor, sweet potato skins were a valuable resource and should not be wasted.

"Don't eat the skins. Big brother has plenty of sweet potatoes, enough for you. Give the skins to the little fish."

The three little girls' eyes lit up. This was great; they could feed the fish while eating.

"Watch me! I'll feed these fish until they're big and plump, then I'll catch them and eat them. Hehehe, that's great!"

They are the happiest when there is something to do.

After eating half a sweet potato, it started to get dark. Chang Kun took out sweet potatoes and potatoes, along with cabbage, radishes, and corn, and finally added a few wild peaches, filling a sack to the brim.

Cheng Min hesitated, realizing that this was too much; it would be enough for her family to eat for a month.

"Don't worry, I have plenty left at home, so you won't have to go to the market anymore."

"Okay." Cheng Min pursed her lips. She wasn't even married into the family yet, and Chang Kun was already sending her things like this. She really didn't know what to say.

The three girls looked at Cheng Min expectantly, pleading, "Sister Min, please come again tomorrow, let's play together."

"Okay, I'll come over tomorrow to test your newly learned characters. Do your best tomorrow," Cheng Min said with a smile.

"Oh my god?! Oh my god!"

The three girls covered their faces in unison, regretting that they hadn't let Sister Xiaomin come again.

When we took Cheng Min home and returned to the courtyard house, the little girls were still peeling sweet potatoes to feed the fish, and their little mouths were covered in black grime from eating.

"Stop playing around. Look how black your mouths are. Don't you know how to wash them?"

The three girls exchanged a glance, laughed, and ran off to wash.

At this moment, the parents pushed open the door and entered the courtyard, each carrying a large bundle of green grass on their backs.

The little girls cheered again, "Feeding the little firecrackers!" and busied themselves taking the green grass from their parents' hands.

If it weren't for those little ones being reluctant to part with it, I would have sent the little donkey to my uncle's house long ago.

Every day after get off work, I have to go outside the city to cut grass and feed the donkeys, which is quite a hassle.

However, as the little donkey grows up, it can be used to make a millstone in the yard to grind peanut butter and chili sauce, which will be somewhat useful.

While the girls were feeding the donkey, Liu Meifen grabbed Chang Kun's arm, her face beaming with joy: "Xiao Kun, we've already set the date for you and Xiao Min. There's a great date in about half a month."

"Huh? So fast?" Chang Kun felt a bit surprised. He had just said yesterday that he would ask Director Wang to be the matchmaker, and today the wedding date was already set.

Liu Meifen sighed softly, "I also feel that time has gone by too fast. It feels like not long ago, and you've grown from a little baby into an adult, and now you're of marriageable age."

Chang Dashan chimed in, "Don't listen to your mother's complaints. She talks about wanting a grandson every day; I'm sick of it..."
