The squirrel meat sizzled as it was added to the oil.

As the egg mixture turned golden yellow, a unique aroma wafted out.

The four maids had already smelled the aroma and were standing guard by the stove.

"It smells so good!"

"Big brother, can we eat now?"

"Let me try it for you first."

Chang Kun took the squirrel meat out, drained the oil, and sprinkled it with salt, pepper, and cumin, making it even more tempting.

The meat chunks fried by Eight Squirrels are quite a lot.

The little girls couldn't wait any longer and started grabbing the food to eat.

"Wait a minute, let it cool down a bit before eating, it will taste even better."

They couldn't resist, each grabbing a piece and stuffing it into their mouths, their lips burning from the heat and drawing in breaths of relief.

Liu Meifen walked into the kitchen, inhaling the aroma: "You know what, fried food smells amazing!"

"Hehe, Mom, didn't you used to say that even fried shoe soles smelled good?"

"You're making fun of your old mother now?!" Liu Meifen glared at her son, annoyed.

Looking at the large bowl full of squirrel meat, she thought for a moment and said, "With so much greyhound meat, how about I give some to Zixia?"

Having just reunited with his second sister, even though he knew Liu Meiling's family was better off, he couldn't help but miss her and always thought of sharing any good things with her.

"That works too! I doubt Hongxia and Zixia have ever eaten salt and pepper greyhounds like this before."

Without further ado, Liu Meifen set aside a small portion of the squirrel meat and put it into an oil paper bag.

"I'll ride my bike and get to your second aunt's house in about half an hour. I'll also tell her the good news that your eldest sister and younger brother have moved to the city."

Liu Meifen wanted to share this wonderful news with her family members immediately.

"Mom, please drive carefully."

The moonlight is quite bright tonight, and there are patrol teams patrolling the capital at night, so there shouldn't be any security issues.

"Okay, then I'll go."

Upon hearing that her mother was going to her second aunt's house, Xiu'er grabbed another handful of salt and pepper squirrel meat: "Mom, I want to go play with Zixia too, take me with you!"

Her older sisters are all in school and don't play with her much anymore, so she feels closer to Zixia, who is her age.

"Are you sure you want to go? If you go, Xiaoqing and the others will eat all this greyhound meat."

Xiuer opened her mouth, hesitated for a moment, and finally made up her mind: "I'm going to go play with Zixia!"

My older brother often brings back good food to eat, but he doesn't have many opportunities to play with Zixia.

"Alright!"

Liu Meifen nodded in agreement. Xiuer hadn't been going to school and was spending all her time at home playing by herself; she must be getting really bored.

However, once Xiaomei moves into the city, this little girl will have someone to keep her company.

Before his mother could even leave the house, Chang Kun stopped Xiao Qing and her two companions who were catching salt and pepper squirrels.

"Wait a minute before you eat. You've been in school for so many days, so I'm going to test your math skills. You can eat if you get it right, and if you get it wrong, you can only stare at me."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoqing, Xiaomu, and Xiaoshui all sighed in unison.

They're going to have to take another test; it's so difficult!

Xiuer deliberately laughed loudly, "Hahaha, I'm going out to play! Some people are going to fail the test again..."

Liu Meifen tugged at Xiu'er's braids and walked out the door, annoyed. This girl was mocking her three older sisters now; she was going to get a spanking later.

Xiao Qing and her two friends had only been in school for a short time, but they were surprisingly good at addition and subtraction within ten. Chang Kun gave them six questions, and all three of them were able to answer them correctly.

"Xiao Qing, you guys are pretty amazing!"

Xiao Qing crunched on a salt and pepper squirrel snack, puffing out her chest proudly: "Of course, we study very hard!"

Chang Kun turned his head and thought for a moment, but that didn't make sense either. These girls hadn't been to school for very long, so how could they be so good at addition and subtraction?

Xiao Mu was the most honest; she told Chang Kun the truth.

"Brother, we used to play at the supply and marketing cooperative. When Mom sold things and got change, it was just addition and subtraction. We've known those for a long time."

Tsk! It really is!

I never expected that there would be such benefits to visiting a supply and marketing cooperative.

A while later, Chang Dashan returned, reeking of alcohol.

"Son! Dad's so happy today!"

"Our family has moved to the city, so we won't go hungry!"

"Now that your eldest sister can also come to the city, I really have no regrets in this life!"

He was mumbling incoherently, clearly quite drunk.

Chang Kun quickly helped him into the house and laid him down. Although his mother had told him to go drink with Uncle Hong, he was already drunk like this, and she was bound to nag him again tomorrow.

Fearing that Grandpa Hong might have also drunk too much and would be inconvenient alone, Chang Kun went next door to take another look.

"Xiao Changkun, I'm fine. Your dad's alcohol tolerance is nowhere near that!"

"Haha, Grandpa Hong, you're amazing! You're still going strong!"

After returning to her own courtyard and settling Xiaoqing and the other two down to sleep, Liu Meifen took Xiuer home.

Xiuer kept nodding on the front beam of the bicycle; judging by her posture, she was about to fall asleep sitting up.

"I knew I shouldn't have taken her to your second aunt's house. That girl, once we got there she didn't want to leave, she was having so much fun with Zixia!"

Chang Kun chuckled and picked up Xiu'er. She mumbled sleepily, "Big brother, what brings you to Auntie's house? Are you here to play with me, Hongxia?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she leaned on Chang Kun's shoulder and fell into a deep sleep.

Liu Meifen shared her happy experience of visiting her second sister's house with her son, speaking with great enthusiasm.

……

The next morning, just as dawn broke and the little ones were still sleeping in, Chang Kun got up to go to work.

Yesterday, I went to the equipment factory to look for clues. The matter between the woman and Lao Guo has been clarified, but it is still uncertain whether Lao Guo is related to the deceased Team Leader Xu and Accountant Pan. Everything is just Chang Kun's intuitive judgment.

As for the houses for my eldest sister and younger brother, I've already spoken with Director Wang, so there's no need to worry about it anymore.

Upon arriving at work, I went straight to the office.

"Master, Uncle Zeng, Brother Monkey, you're here so early today!"

Lei Guohong laughed and scolded, "Since you two have been seconded out, there are fewer people maintaining order at the platform, so I'll just have to work longer hours."

"Haha! Master, you've worked hard. I'll ask the section chief for a raise for you later."

"Come on, I don't want to get yelled at!" Lei Guohong asked. "You guys have a pretty easy job at other units, huh? I heard from Monkey that you went to fight Greyhounds yesterday afternoon?"

Hou Jun chimed in, "Junior brother, that greyhound meat was really delicious! My little girl ate four legs by herself and keeps asking me to go catch some more today."

"Brother Monkey, I probably won't have time to go to the mountains today. I went to the male victim's workplace yesterday, and there's a bit of a lead."

Hearing this, Hou Jun was not surprised at all, but said matter-of-factly, "Yes, I knew that as long as you, junior brother, took action, we would definitely gain something."

"Let's go to the equipment factory again later and check everything carefully. The suspect this time has some status, so we can't make any rash moves," Chang Kun said.

Although the medical equipment factory wasn't a large factory, as the head of the factory, Lao Guo still had some social standing.

Without solid evidence, it's really not good to arrest someone arbitrarily.
