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

It took a while for Liu Meiling and her brother Liu Meilin to calm down.

Liu Meilin is a little better off; she doesn't remember much from her childhood and doesn't have a deep impression of her second sister.

Liu Meiling was different. At that time, she liked this little brother the most, and he followed her around like a little shadow.

After the family was separated, her biggest worry was her young brother, who was so young and could easily get into trouble in the war.

Even though she knew from her older sister that her younger brother was doing well, she couldn't help but feel excited at this reunion.

Wang Hongxia stepped forward and put her arm around her mother's arm: "Alright, Mom, today is the day our whole family is reunited, we should be happy."

Seeing how sensible her eldest niece, Hongxia, was, Liu Meifen sighed, "It's a pity that Changmei isn't here, otherwise the whole family would be complete."

"Speaking of which," Liu Meilin wiped away her tears and grinned, "I ran into Uncle Yang Shunong a while ago. He said that Lijun's job is almost settled, and he should be able to move to the city soon, which will make it much easier for the family to reunite."

"That's wonderful! I haven't even met this niece yet..." Liu Meiling glared at her eldest daughter. "She's not much older than Hongxia, and she's already had a baby. My daughter, on the other hand, hasn't even been born yet!"

Wang Hongxia chuckled twice, knowing her mother was about to launch into her usual marriage-urging tirade, and quickly changed the subject: "Mom, let's eat quickly, I'm starving."

"Eat, eat, all you ever do is eat!"

"If you still can't find a partner by next year and don't give me a big, healthy son, I'll see what you're made of!"

The whole family was here today, and Liu Meiling gave her daughter some face, only nagging for a couple of minutes before stopping.

Little Zixia protested: "Mother, why can't my eldest sister have a girl? Everyone outside praises me for being cute."

Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this. They glanced at the room full of maids, from youngest to oldest, and apart from Chang Kun, who was the only son, they were all maids.

These days, the saying "a married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl" is no longer just a saying.

A perfectly good girl has been raised, but she can't be by her parents' side to fulfill her filial duties.

Especially in rural areas, people feel inferior to others if they don't have a son.

"Let's eat and drink to our hearts' content today!"

Chang Dashan greeted them.

The stone benches and tables in the courtyard weren't big enough, so everyone moved the kitchen tables and chairs out.

The three families of Liu Meifen, Liu Meilin, and Liu Meiling, consisting of six adults, sat at one table.

Chang Kun, along with five young girls and Wang Hongxia, set up a separate table for the seven of them.

"Chang Kun, come and eat with us," Minister Wang called out.

"I'd better take care of the little girls. If they eat by themselves, they probably won't get enough to eat all night."

"Come and have a drink with us, Hongxia can just stay there and watch the kids."

Wang Hongxia: ? ?

Are you suggesting I watch the little ones eat?

She has never been very patient, and when her younger sister misbehaves, she just spanks her.

Facing five maids at this moment, he was completely overwhelmed!

"Eat up, what are you looking at!"

She scolded them, wanting the little ones to fill their stomachs first.

Xiaoqing, Xiaomu, Xiaoshui, Xiuer, and Zixia, the five maids, were staring wide-eyed at the small bowl in front of them.

There was something floating in the bowl, something that looked like meat and vegetables at the same time, with some white noodles floating on top.

"Sister Hongxia, what is this? Why didn't Big Brother and the others have this at their table?"

Facing the newly acquainted Xiaoqing, Wang Hongxia felt embarrassed to scold her with a stern face.

"Oh... isn't this the kind of dumpling you make?"

"My aunt specifically told you to finish the dumplings you made."

The five girls gaped, pointing at the bowl: "This...this is dumplings? The dumplings we made?"

"Eat quickly, Auntie said you can't eat anything else if you don't finish the dumplings."

"But...but our wrappings aren't that ugly!" Xiaoqing pouted, a little unconvinced.

Although my dumplings weren't as pretty as my mother's or my second aunt's, they weren't a bowl of mushy mush like this either.

This mushy mess doesn't look as appealing as the corn porridge I had before, but it smells pretty good.

After several months of feeding by Chang Kun, Xiao Qing and the other girls have become picky eaters, and ordinary food no longer appeals to them.

"Hey, this mutton is great, it's tender and doesn't have any gamey smell."

"The sea cucumber is crispy and delicious!"

"Brother-in-law, try this grouse. Back in our hometown, Xiao Kun sent us a few, and the taste was absolutely amazing."

"Let's have a drink to celebrate this wonderful day!"

I could hear the lively conversation at the next table, with people loudly praising all the delicious food.

Then look at the dumplings, braised pork, and noodle soup in front of me.

Xiaoqing and the other girls were on the verge of tears. If they had known it would turn out like this, they wouldn't have rushed to make dumplings.

"Xiuer, Zixia, let's play rock-paper-scissors. Whoever loses has to help eat these dumplings."

Xiao Qing's eyes lit up, and she came up with a wicked idea.

Xiuer pouted. Xiaoqing was still using the same old tricks. Her older brother had seen through them all. She wasn't going to play along with her anymore.

Only the simple-minded Zixia cheered. At home, her eldest sister would never play these little games with her. Now that she suddenly had several older sisters, she was going to go crazy with fun.

"Hmph! Zixia, don't play with Xiaoqing. She's a master of deception. She'll definitely try to get you to eat those rotten dumplings for her."

Xiuer exposed Changqing's trick, making Xiaoqing grit her teeth. If it weren't for her mother, she would have really wanted to beat Xiuer's butt until it was swollen!

At another table, three women sipped ginseng wine while listening to the men boast and chat.

"Xiao Kun, I heard you caught some Japanese spies today, did you do another good deed?"

As Chang Kun's uncle, he had already reported the police's operation in Tianjin that day to his astute subordinates.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Chang Kun, waiting for him to explain in detail.

"Hehe, Uncle, it was all thanks to the comrades working together. I was just lucky to discover the kid's hideout."

"You're just too modest! When you're working in an organization, remember that not only do you have to be capable, but you also can't push credit onto others, otherwise... you'll see when you get promoted."

Chang Kun smiled faintly and didn't say anything; it was far too easy for him to get promoted.

The capital city is so big. As long as I patrol it a few more times day and night and arrest all the criminals, I can achieve as much merit as I want.

Speaking of this, he immediately thought of Qianmen Railway Station.

Theft was rampant there, and what was even more alarming was that everyone in the police station was involved.

Throughout history, evil has never prevailed over good, but it is those who use the cloak of justice to commit evil deeds that truly provoke hatred.

The moment Chang Kun discovered the collusion between officials and thieves at Qianmen Railway Station, he felt that this was a challenge to his bottom line.

He already hated thieves, and there were two places in particular that he loathed.

One is a hospital, and the other is a train station.

The thief stole the money meant for saving lives at the hospital; it's no different from murder.

Stealing money at the train station is a life-threatening crime these days; if you travel without money, you're practically dead!
