Go home.

My mother and my second aunt, Liu Meiling, were standing in front of the little donkey, feeding it hay.

"Mother, Second Aunt."

Chang Kun greeted them, glanced around, and didn't see Xiu'er or Xiao Zixia.

"Where are Xiuer and Zixia?"

Liu Meifen laughed and said, "The two little ones are playing with your aunt at the state-run restaurant. She gets to eat sunflower seeds every day, so they're not afraid of chipping their teeth."

"Merlin's wife is a nice person; you can tell at a glance that she has a good temperament."

Liu Meiling just visited Liu Meilin's wife today, and the three women chatted idly all day.

"Your uncle will be here later. I've sent word to your husband that we're having a big family gathering tonight."

Liu Meifen and her sister had just reunited yesterday, and her younger brother Liu Meilin was unaware of this matter.

"Yes, yes, my uncle doesn't know my second aunt is here yet."

Chang Kun strode out, saying, "Mother, Second Aunt, I'm going to pick up Xiu'er and Zixia."

When the whole family gets together, we definitely need to prepare some delicious food.

He remembered that his uncle loved fishing and catching shrimp, but had no interest in eating fish.

Let's make lots of meat tonight and eat to our hearts' content.

On the way to the state-run restaurant, Chang Kun took stock of all the food in the space.

There are still quite a few of the grouse, forest frogs, and roe deer that I brought back from Northeast China.

Six large bear paws sat forlornly to the side; unfortunately, these things take a long time to prepare, so we won't be able to eat them tonight.

There are also blue sheep hunted in the mountains, which are stewed with sea cucumbers and are extremely nourishing.

Lamb stew with sea cucumber, roe deer meat dumplings, pheasant soup, and braised frog in oil – these are enough to satisfy the whole family.

The little girls love to eat fish. Mackerel has thick flesh and few bones, so pan-fried mackerel is the perfect dish.

Another dish of braised razor clams in aged wine and braised yellow catfish will satisfy my family's love for fresh flavors.

The broccoli in the room is ready. Stir-frying it will cleanse the palate and complement all this meat and vegetables perfectly.

These days, few people find food greasy. If you say something like "vegetables can cut through greasiness," people will find it offensive.

However, when it comes to cooking for his own family, Chang Kun is never stingy with any good food he has.

The peanuts and cucumbers are plentiful; let's make some boiled peanuts and smashed cucumbers for Dad and the others to enjoy with their drinks.

The watermelons were all round and green, and looked very ripe. After the meal, everyone held a watermelon and scooped it out with a spoon.

That taste must be amazing.

As I exited the space, I suddenly noticed the items that were system rewards placed in a corner of the space.

Tsk, the lamb kidneys are good. There are about twenty left, bring them out together.

I imagine my dad, my uncle, and my aunt's husband are very interested in this thing.

Just look at the expressions on my dad's and uncle's faces when they drank tiger penis wine yesterday, and you can tell that middle-aged people have no choice but to add goji berries to their thermos flasks...

As for the wine, he took out ginseng wine that had been soaking for a long time from his spatial storage. This wine is suitable for both men and women, and it is good for anyone's health.

I'll bring some home for my aunt and second aunt later. Now that we have the means, and we're in our thirties or forties, it's the perfect time to start taking care of ourselves.

"Auntie." Chang Kun entered the state-run restaurant.

"Hey, Xiao Kun's here! Come on, have some sunflower seeds!"

My aunt was peeling sunflower seeds by hand, and there was a small pile of sunflower seed kernels on the table next to her.

Xiuer and Zixia ate the melon seeds one by one, enjoying them immensely, their eyes squinting.

"Aunt, just spoil them... let them peel it themselves."

Auntie smiled and patted the two girls' heads: "Their teeth are still tender; cracking sunflower seeds can easily damage them!"

"Yes, my aunt said we just need to be responsible for eating."

"Mmm, the sunflower seeds that Auntie peeled smell so good."

The two girls leaned against their aunt like they had no bones, showering her with flattery as if it were free.

It's clear that Auntie really likes the two girls; she's holding their hands on the left and putting her arm around their waists on the right, enjoying herself while peeling sunflower seeds.

Aunt Zhu, who was standing nearby, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and stuffed them into Chang Kun's hand: "Chang Kun, you haven't been here for a while. What have you been up to?"

"The unit is busy, dealing with gambling, human trafficking, and spies. It's so busy I'm dizzy."

"Huh?" Aunt Zhu and her aunt stared wide-eyed at Chang Kun.

"Tell me in detail!"

The two sat upright on the stools, holding sunflower seeds in their hands, ready to listen to the drama unfold.

"Uh... Auntie, Aunt Zhu, let's talk about it another day. I need to go back and prepare some food."

The two men looked disappointed. Working in a state-run restaurant was even more leisurely than working in a supply and marketing cooperative, and they made a living by chatting and gossiping.

"Let's go, Xiuer, Zixia, go home and help with the chores."

The two girls cheered and divided the peeled melon seeds on the table into two portions, carefully holding them in their little hands.

Back in the courtyard, they saw Chang Kun carrying a burlap sack on his shoulder.

Liu Meiling asked in surprise, "Where did Xiao Kun go? What did he take?"

Liu Meifen laughed and said, "Don't worry about him. He always brings good things home. I don't know where he met his friends. It's probably all delicious food."

"My aunt and uncle are coming tonight, let's cook a lot of food."

Xiuer and Zixia stuffed sunflower seeds into their mouths, their cheeks puffed out like little squirrels.

"Big pot, I'll help too."

The two men pretended to help Chang Kun by carrying the sacks from behind.

"Hey, what's this? It doesn't look like a pheasant."

"And this one, why does it look like a toad?"

Liu Meiling helped hold down the flying dragon and then picked up a forest frog to look at.

"Second Aunt, everything is delicious. Try it later and see if it suits your taste."

Xiuer stood on tiptoe, raising her little hand: "Second Aunt, I know, I know! That chicken, Big Brother said it's called something like Flying Dragon, and it tastes amazing!"

Chang Kun had made dragon soup twice before, and Xiu'er ate a whole big bowl of meat each time.

She still hasn't forgotten that taste.

"A flying dragon?" Liu Meiling picked one up and examined it closely. "How can this little thing be called a flying dragon?"

"Second Aunt, dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat on the ground, this thing is called Flying Dragon, they say it tastes just as good as dragon meat."

"Ha! That's amazing! I'd better give it a try!"

The family members were busy killing dragons, cutting meat, and the two little ones, Xiu'er and Zixia, helping to wash cucumbers and broccoli.

Chang Kun personally handled the mackerel, yellow catfish, and razor clams.

After Feilong was killed, Chang Kun had already chopped the roe deer meat into minced meat, mixed with cabbage.

"Mom, Second Aunt, this is the first big family gathering in all these years. It's even more joyful than celebrating the New Year..."

"Let's make dumplings tonight and celebrate!"

The two sisters, Liu Meifen and Liu Meiling, brightened up; Xiao Kun's words made perfect sense.

After so many years, both sides believed that their families had perished in the war. Now that they were able to reunite, they should indeed celebrate.

"Xiao Kun, you take care of the other things. Leave the dumplings to me and your second aunt... I remember when we were at home, your second aunt was an expert at rolling out dumpling wrappers."

Liu Meiling said proudly, "That's right. I can roll out two dumpling wrappers at the same time with one rolling pin. Your sister Hongxia has been trying to learn this for years and still hasn't mastered it."

We used both pots at home, one for stewing mutton with sea cucumber and the other for braising frogs.

Xiuer and Zixia looked at Linwa with disgust.

"Ugh! Bro, those toads are disgusting! Why didn't you even peel off their skin?"
