Reborn in the 60s, I hunt to support my family and even seduce the village beauty.
Chapter 434 Preparing to Visit the Grave
*Smack!*
Liu Meifen slapped Xiao Qing on the head.
"What nonsense are you spouting! I'm in a good mood today, don't go looking for trouble!"
Xiao Qing covered her head, looking aggrieved, and looked at her older brother.
Chang Kun was helpless. The children didn't understand what it meant to be a live-in son-in-law. They just said it casually when they heard it. His mother didn't reason with them and only used slaps.
He gently rubbed Chang Qing's head with his palm and explained the meaning of being a live-in son-in-law to Xiao Qing.
Unexpectedly, Xiaoqing's eyes lit up more and more as she listened: "Hey, big brother, having a son-in-law live with his wife's family is great! I don't have to live with anyone else anymore!"
Several younger children nearby chimed in, "We're not going to live with anyone else! We want a son-in-law who will move in with us!"
It's so nice to be at home, with plenty of food, clothes, and things to do.
Do other houses have such a big yard? Do they have swings? Do they have slides? Do they have such a great older brother?
"Everyone, just eat in peace!" Liu Meifen slammed her hand on the table, mentally calculating the things she needed to prepare for the wedding, planning to discuss them again with her second sister when they went to the grave tomorrow.
After dinner, Liu Meifen urged the young girls to go to bed quickly, as the whole family would be visiting the graves together the next day, and they would have to get up early.
Xiao Shui was overjoyed to hear that she could go back to her village. She had food, lodging, and fun at her aunt's house in the city, and she hadn't shared this happy news with her friends in the village yet.
Wealth and honor do not lead to returning home, especially when one is dressed in fine clothes at night.
Kids are the same way; if they have something good, they'll definitely want to show it off to their friends.
Xiaoqing and her girls were ecstatic. They had been confined to the classroom to learn to read and do math during school and had been looking forward to holidays every day. Now their wish had finally come true.
The girls chattered excitedly about going back to the village to catch frogs by the pond, raid bird nests in the woods, and catch sparrows in the old house, completely forgetting that their mother had said they were going back to the village to pay respects to their maternal grandparents.
Children don't have that much to think about; they only think about how to play.
Chang Kun returned to his cabin and opened the system to check.
I caught so many thieves and criminals today, I wonder what kind of reward or surprise I'll get.
[Ding! Thief captured 1/1, reward: Transfer - allows you to silently transfer your items to someone else.]
[The current host can sense prey weighing less than 1540 jin (approximately 860 kg) within a range of 4150 meters.]
[Ding! Murderer captured 1/1, reward: Intimidation - Stare at the enemy with a menacing gaze, instilling fear and subduing them without a fight.]
[The current host can sense prey weighing less than 1560 jin (approximately 860 kg) within a range of 4200 meters.]
Transfer? This skill name sounds wrong; it'd be more like "framing someone."
In the future, if you encounter a thief who has no stolen goods, you can leave him speechless.
Deterrence is a good skill; as a police officer, you can't keep using capsaicin to deal with criminals.
Sometimes, for minor offenses that skirt the line between law and morality, deterring them from making the same mistakes can be more effective.
Lying in bed, Chang Kun thought about getting married for a while.
My mother didn't tell me the specific time, she just told me not to worry about it.
But it seems it won't be long. Cheng Min probably already knows this news, judging from her blushing face today.
After the wedding, I need to find a way to get Cheng Min to go south and find her mother and younger brother.
These days, not only is transportation inconvenient, but communication is also quite difficult.
The phrase "separation by death" is no exaggeration.
Moreover, Cheng Min had been separated from her mother for so many years that she didn't even know if her mother was still alive.
Just like his second aunt who had just been reunited with him, if it weren't for the unexpected reunion of the two sides in this life, Chang Kun would never have known that he had such a relative, even after living two lifetimes.
In a daze, Chang Kun had a dream.
In his dream, he was still living in his previous life, burning paper money at the grave.
Before me lay a graveyard, the remains of my father, mother, and younger sister.
There was a person standing next to me, whose face I couldn't see clearly. It seemed to be my second aunt, and she was silently shedding tears.
This is a dream! It's a dream!
Chang Kun's face was contorted with rage, beads of sweat the size of soybeans appeared on his forehead, and his arms were flailing about.
Suddenly, he sat up abruptly, gasping for breath like someone who had just drowned.
"call!"
It's like a dream!
I wiped the sweat from my forehead and found that my whole body was soaked.
Is this some kind of omen? I haven't dreamt in a long time, this dream is so unusual!
I looked up at my watch; it was already past five.
Just as dawn was breaking, Chang Kun heard rustling sounds in the courtyard. It must be his mother getting up to prepare things for the grave.
He decided not to sleep anymore, got up and changed his clothes.
"Mother, so early?"
"Hey, Xiao Kun, why are you up so early today? Those girls are still sleeping. Go and take a nap."
"No, since we're already up, I'll help you pack your things."
The mother and daughter tidied up the paper money, wine pot, and various offerings; it was already broad daylight.
At this time, my second aunt's family also arrived.
Zixia greeted Liu Meifen and Chang Kun as soon as she entered the room, then rushed into Xiaoqing's room like a whirlwind.
"Wow! You're still sleeping? Get up! We're going to play today!"
She yanked off the blankets from the girls and started tickling them with a laugh.
The two sisters, Liu Meifen and Liu Meiling, checked the items for the grave-sweeping ceremony one last time to make sure nothing was left behind.
Minister Wang looked Chang Kun up and down, his eyes full of admiration.
"Chang Kun, you're really something!"
"In less than a day, all the pickpockets at Qianmen Railway Station were caught!"
"I received a report just before I was about to leave work yesterday, and I thought I had misheard."
"I heard they caught about a hundred thieves, and quite a few serious criminals too!"
Chang Kun laughed and said, "That's all thanks to everyone's hard work. It's just that the thieves over there are too brazen; one pops up every few steps!"
Minister Wang sighed softly, "Yes! It's shocking that a small train station can catch hundreds of pickpockets!"
"This incident should serve as a wake-up call for us. Good times have just begun, and some people are already abusing the town government's name to commit crimes. Such offenses must be severely punished!"
Chang Kun asked, "Uncle, what will happen to the head of the station?"
"At least life imprisonment, possibly the death penalty!"
Minister Wang spoke with absolute certainty, and this incident should definitely be used as a model to deter criminals who collude with outsiders!
Chang Kun nodded, recalling Ahui's disgusting face and the desperate expressions of the passengers whose things were stolen. He felt that the death penalty was well-deserved.
"Mom, Auntie's clothes. I'm going to ask for leave from work. You go ahead first, I'll come find you later, it shouldn't be long."
By this time, the little girls had all gotten up and were excitedly running around in the yard.
There's nothing happier than not having to go to school today.
Upon arriving at his workplace, Chang Kun went straight to the section chief's office.
"Section Chief... Master, Brother Monkey, you're all here."
As soon as I entered the section chief's office, I saw Lei Guohong, Lao Zeng, Hou Jun, Xiao Lü, Xiao Yu, and others.
Zhang Qingfeng laughed and said, "Now everyone's here. Chang Kun, you're really something. You caught so many thieves yesterday, such a great achievement, and you just went home like nothing happened."
Hou Jun winked at Chang Kun. Yesterday, when he returned to his unit, he recounted their experience of catching a thief at Qianmen Railway Station as if he were a storyteller.
More than a hundred thieves were caught in one day, and the escort team was almost a mile long. The crowds along the way cheered and applauded, and the scene was truly spectacular.
Everyone in the office was stunned!
