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

Hey! Are forest frogs disgusting?

You two little girls will be lucky if you don't fight over the food later.

When the forest frog is in season, peel off its skin and you'll find it full of eggs.

Children shouldn't eat too much; just let them taste it.

The Liu sisters, Meifen and Meifen, were both busy, one rolling out the dough and the other filling the dumplings, neither of them saying a word.

For some reason, both sisters' eyes reddened, and tears flowed down their cheeks involuntarily.

"Mother, what's wrong?"

"Mom, don't cry, I'm a good girl and I haven't gotten lost."

When the two little girls saw their mother crying, they both ran over to wipe away her tears.

The two sisters chuckled, and the gloom in their hearts vanished instantly.

The two of them were making dumplings when they remembered spending Chinese New Year with their parents when they were young.

Back then, the whole family would gather together, chatting and laughing. The family was quite wealthy, with no worries about food or drink. The two sisters would bicker and argue, while the younger brother would linger around his older sister.

Those days are gone forever.

With their parents no longer alive, only the three siblings are able to reunite now.

How could they not sigh with regret?

Life is about one generation sending another off.

Now that I have my own child, I need to look forward to the future.

Watching the two girls comfort their mother like little adults, the two sisters sighed inwardly.

It is perfect yet contains regret, and regret contains a kind of perfection.

This kind of life, made up of days like these, is what constitutes a true life.

Chang Dashan didn't go out of town to cut grass today. He knew his sister-in-law was staying at his house, so he left work early to come back and help with the chores.

"Oh, that smells like meat filling! Are you making dumplings?"

Liu Meifen said happily, "Xiao Kun came up with the idea, saying that it's a joyous occasion for our whole family to get together, so we should have dumplings."

"That makes sense, this child is very thoughtful."

Chang Dashan rolled up his sleeves and moved closer to Chang Kun: "Son, is there any work you need? I'll help."

"Dad, smash the cucumber, wash the peanuts and boil them. We'll make them for you to have with your drinks tonight."

"Good son, you've thought of everything." Chang Dashan picked up a wine jar from the side, smelled it, and asked in a low voice, "Ginseng wine?"

Chang Kun nodded.

Chang Dashan continued, "When you leave after dinner, please give your uncle and aunt a jar of food."

He knew his son had brewed a lot of ginseng medicinal wine, and after drinking it for a while, he felt his health had improved a lot.

Chang Kun continued to nod. After his father went to work in the city, the family had more and more good things, and he became more and more generous to his relatives and friends.

Not long after, Xiaoqing and the others came home from school.

"Dad, Big Brother, we're back!"

The three girls rushed in like little butterflies. Seeing their mother and second aunt making dumplings, they cheered and ran over to them.

"I'll help!"

"Me too!"

"I want the biggest one!"

Kids love playing with these soft, squishy things; it feels like playing with mud.

My mother usually makes dough at home and never lets them touch it, for fear of wasting flour and other grains.

My second aunt was home today, and they knew that my mother was too embarrassed to scold them, so they were much bolder.

Sure enough, Liu Meifen glared at the three maids and waved her hand, "Go, go wash your hands first."

"Oh! That's great!"

The three girls pushed and shoved each other, vying for a spot by the pool.

"Xiaomin, you must be tired after a long day at work. Sit down and rest. We'll have dumplings later."

Liu Meifen greeted them with a smile.

"Aunt Liu, I'm not tired. I have some things to take care of at home, so I have to go back first."

Cheng Min felt a little embarrassed. They weren't even married yet, and it was inappropriate for them to be eating at Chang Kun's house so often.

Liu Meifen knew this was an excuse. After thinking about it, she realized it wasn't really appropriate for a young woman to stay at her house every day.

"Well then, we've made forty or fifty dumplings here. Take them back and cook them for Brother Cheng to try."

Chang Dashan also said, "The boiled peanuts are ready. Let's take a few cucumbers back for Brother Cheng to have with his drinks."

Seeing that her future in-laws were all settled, Cheng Min didn't stand on ceremony: "Hey, thank you, Uncle Chang and Aunt Liu."

Liu Meifen laughed and said, "You silly girl, why are you being so polite with your own people?"

When seeing Cheng Min off, Chang Kun took out six skewers of lamb kidneys for her, jokingly saying, "My parents have already given me gifts, so as their son-in-law, I've prepared a few skewers of lamb kidneys for my father-in-law and brother-in-law to drink with."

Cheng Min blushed and spat lightly, "Who's your father-in-law? Who's your brother-in-law!"

For some reason, hearing these words from Chang Kun always gave her a strange feeling.

I felt a mix of anticipation and apprehension, afraid of not being a good wife and daughter-in-law.

Seeing Cheng Min's rosy complexion, glowing with a unique radiance, Chang Kun's heart stirred, and he unconsciously reached out and kneaded her cheeks a couple of times.

The feel was indeed wonderful. Even without any face masks or skincare products, the girl's own collagen was invincible; he felt that her fingers were smooth and pink.

"Hey!"

Cheng Min felt a little pain from her face being pulled, and glared at Chang Kun angrily.

"You bad guy!"

She felt her whole body become incredibly hot, and the sensation of their embrace yesterday flooded back into her mind.

Unable to stay any longer, she shook off Chang Kun's finger and turned to flee in a hurry.

Chang Kun, with his sharp eyes, noticed that her neck had turned completely blood red from the tips of her ears to her neck.

Tsk, this little girl is so perceptive, she's struck gold!

I can't help but look forward to our married life in the future.

"Auntie, you're off work?"

Chang Kun didn't notice that his aunt was nearby, and she had seen him interacting with Cheng Min.

It's a bit awkward. People are still quite conservative these days. It takes a lot of courage for men and women to hold hands in public.

"Yes, they're off work..." Auntie pretended not to have seen what had just happened. "Where are Xiaoshui and the others? Did they get out of school? Did Xiaomin bring them home?"

Chang Kun nodded and smiled, "Yes, those little girls are vying to help make dumplings."

"Oh my goodness! Making dumplings? They'd never make a thing! We can't let them waste food!"

My aunt didn't have time for idle chatter and rushed into the yard in a few steps.

As a woman from the countryside who has experienced hunger for a long time, I know all too well how precious food is, and I can't let the young girls run wild.

Chang Kun also returned to the kitchen. He needed to quickly prepare the other dishes so that he could start the meal as soon as his uncle and aunt arrived.

"Mom, I'm not fooling around. Look, I made these!"

As soon as I entered the kitchen, I heard Xiao Shui pleading and explaining herself.

She had a layer of white flour on her nose, and held a crooked dumpling in her small hand.

Those dumplings were not only oddly shaped, but the wrappers for the meat filling weren't even tightly sealed.

Xiao Qing and the others eagerly took credit: "Look at how beautiful ours are!"

They knew that if they didn't let Xiaoshuibao go, their mothers would kick them out too, so they hurriedly pleaded with their aunts.

Liu Meifen advised, "Auntie, you don't need to worry about these little ones. They've already said they're only eating dumplings they made themselves tonight."

My aunt pointed to the dumplings in the girls' hands: "That's it?"

"Wouldn't it turn into a pile of mush if you put it in the pot?"

Liu Meifen smiled and said, "Never mind them, we'll eat well anyway. They won't learn their lesson until they suffer a loss..."
