Reborn in the 60s, I hunt to support my family and even seduce the village beauty.
Chapter 432 The Zhang Family, the Marriage Arranged
Xiuer smiled broadly, showing no embarrassment whatsoever.
Even Zixia, who was a year older than her, went crazy playing and wet her pants, let alone her.
"Mom, what did you talk about at Auntie's house today?"
"Tell me about going to your grandmother's grave. It's such a pity that your two grandmothers didn't live to see the good times."
Seeing that his mother was in a bad mood, Chang Kun didn't say anything more.
My mother is doing well. She has lived with my maternal grandparents for many years. Although life has been difficult, it has been a family reunion.
My second aunt was different. She was separated from her family when she was young and lived with her uncle. Although life was good after liberation, she missed her family all the time.
"We agreed to go to your grandmother's grave tomorrow. Xiao Kun, are you free tomorrow?"
If Chang Kun, the family's most beloved grandson, didn't go to the grave, it felt like something was missing.
Chang Kun thought for a moment and nodded.
The human trafficking issue has been resolved; all that's left is to continue the investigation and see if more information can be uncovered.
Today, the entire Qianmen Railway Station Police Station was also raided, and it's no longer something someone of his position can get involved in afterward.
But it's easy to imagine that Ahui and his gang of corrupt police officers will definitely receive the most severe punishment as a warning to others!
After playing with Xiuer for a while, Cheng Min escorted Xiao Qing and the others home from school.
"Xiaomin, school's out."
Liu Meifen greeted Cheng Min.
Cheng Min's face flushed red, as if she was a little embarrassed. She saw Xiao Qing and the others inside, responded a few times, and then hurriedly left.
"What's going on? Xiao Kun, what happened to Xiao Min?"
Liu Meifen was a little surprised. Cheng Min was usually very poised and outgoing, so why was she so shy when she greeted him today?
"How would I know..." Chang Kun touched his nose, a little embarrassed.
Could it be that I hugged her without thinking when I took her home yesterday, making her feel flustered?
People these days are so naive; there aren't many intimate relationships before marriage.
After school, Xiaoqing and her friends would run around the yard like little swallows released from their cages.
"Come help prepare the meal! All you do after school is play!"
At home, only my mother disciplined these young girls, fearing they wouldn't know how to do anything and would be disliked by their in-laws after they grew up and got married.
Chang Kun and his father have always been laissez-faire towards the little girl. As long as they can eat well, dress warmly, and learn to read and count, that's good enough.
In addition, they are still young. If they don't take advantage of this time to play more, they will never have such happy times again when they grow up.
Chang Kun often worried that Xiao Qing, the eldest of the girls, would grow up with a bad temper and, when the winds of change picked up in a few years, she would also get involved and cause trouble.
It seems that she is still afraid of her mother, respects her father, and loves her eldest brother.
Several maids were scrambling to wash potatoes and scrape their skins with shards of broken glass when someone walked in from outside.
"Oh, Chang Kun is home too."
Chang Kun looked up in surprise; it was Director Wang from the subdistrict office, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.
"Director Wang, come in quickly."
Since moving into this courtyard house and hosting a banquet, I've been so busy with work that I haven't been able to visit Director Wang again. To be honest, that's a bit impolite.
After all, it was Director Wang who helped to get the approval for this courtyard house.
Director Wang greeted Liu Meifen with a smile, patted the heads of the young girls, and then looked around the courtyard.
He exclaimed, "Wow, it's been a month or so since we moved in, and this courtyard feels so much more lively now. It's so much more comfortable here."
Liu Meifen quickly put down the cabbage in her hand, washed her hands, and went to greet Director Wang.
"Hey girl, um..."
Director Wang blinked and smiled, "Sister Liu, I've taken care of things, and the date has been set."
Liu Meifen exclaimed with delight, "Really? That's wonderful!"
Chang Kun was completely baffled by their conversation.
Director Wang laughed heartily and said, "Both of your families are interested; I'm just acting as a middleman. Playing matchmaker is easy!"
Chang Kun then realized that Director Wang was helping Cheng Min set a wedding date at her home.
A while ago, my mother said she had entrusted this matter to Director Wang, and Chang Kun thought it would take a while.
I didn't expect it to be so fast!
It seems that it won't be long before I'll be a man with a wife and family.
Director Wang leaned closer to Liu Meifen and whispered, "This matter was originally simple, but I thought I couldn't just do it so casually, so I made a special trip to Jigong Temple in the west of the city to pray for an auspicious day..."
"Oh, my dear sister, you've really gone to a lot of trouble!"
"Xiao Kun, what are you standing there for? Go get that Maojian tea from last time and brew it for your Aunt Wang!"
"Hey...hey girl, you're not leaving tonight, you're staying for dinner!"
Liu Meifen talked nonstop in her excitement, not giving anyone else a chance to speak.
Director Wang waved his hand repeatedly: "There's really no need for that. I came by during the day, but no one was home, so I came again now. It's not convenient to talk to people at the supply and marketing cooperative."
Whether it's a private matter or a joyous occasion, it's essential to explain it clearly to the parties involved separately.
"Xiao Qing, Xiao Mu, go get a stool and pour water for your Aunt Wang," Chang Kun ordered.
The young girls were also perceptive and surrounded Director Wang, making sure she was seated.
"You're being too kind..." Director Wang smiled from ear to ear. She had heard several news items recently, including crackdowns on gambling, arrests of human traffickers, and even reports of enemy agents.
I heard these are all significant matters, and that Chang Kun played a major role in them.
She was quite proud to be able to act as a matchmaker for Chang Kun and Cheng Min.
Once this matter is over, the two families will have an unbreakable friendship.
Liu Meifen wasn't in the mood to cook, so she had the maids wash some tomatoes and cucumbers for her and Director Wang to eat.
The two huddled together, chattering away as they discussed their plans.
Chang Kun knew that this must be referring to dates and etiquette.
He didn't bother to join in; he'd leave those things to them and would cook dinner himself.
It was still the same old dish: pan-fried mackerel, stir-fried cabbage with pork, and a stir-fried broccoli. For the staple food, there were a few sticky corn cobs and sweet potatoes. Chang Kun was already very familiar with this and quickly prepared it.
Director Wang tried to refuse, but Liu Meifen grabbed him.
"Little sister, you absolutely can't leave today. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know that some of the rules in the city are different from those in the countryside."
Liu Meifen had only been in the city for less than two months, and it was thanks to Director Wang's guidance that she was able to get things done.
She thought to herself that she would discuss it with Wang Cuiqin again tomorrow to fill in any gaps and avoid being disrespectful to the Cheng family.
Director Wang smiled and said, "Sister Liu, it's not that I don't want to eat here, it's just that I have something to do today..."
"Now that we've finished discussing these matters, I'll definitely come over for a proper meal sometime when I have some free time."
Liu Meifen still felt a little embarrassed, so she hurriedly went into the kitchen to clean the two fish, as well as potatoes and cabbage, and put them into a sack.
The two of them pulled and tugged at each other again.
Liu Meifen was grateful that Director Wang, as a leading cadre, had gone to the temple to pray for a better day for her son Chang Kun. If others found out about this and reported it, she would be in serious trouble.
Director Wang, however, was focused on strengthening the relationship between the two families and paid no attention to the food.
