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

A new bride is always shy when she meets her mother-in-law for the first time.

When Liu Meifen told her to lie down and rest again, Cheng Min lowered her head and remained silent.

Women are such a hassle. Not only do they have their periods every month, but they also get torn during their first time, which is incredibly embarrassing if someone sees it.

Seeing Cheng Min's shy appearance, Liu Meifen pouted and said, "Xiuer, quickly help your sister Min back to her room. Mother will come to make lunch later... Min, I'll tidy up your room. You just stay here obediently today."

Cheng Min was very happy to marry into the family. At this time, Cheng Min was unwell, so her mother-in-law would definitely take good care of her.

Xiuer nodded as if she understood, and took Cheng Min's little hand: "Sister Min, if you're injured, you can't run around, or Mom will spank you!"

She twisted her ankle while running around before and got a good scolding from her mother, which she still remembers vividly.

Cheng Min lowered her head, too embarrassed to look at Liu Meifen, and turned back into the house.

Luckily, I had changed the sheets myself; otherwise, if Liu Meifen had seen the messy state of the bed, I would have been too ashamed to face anyone.

Chang Kun followed behind his mother, wanting to help in the kitchen, but she chased him out.

"Spend more time with Xiaomin today. She just married into our family, so she must be having a lot of trouble adjusting."

Now Liu Meifen is focused on being a good mother-in-law so that Cheng Min can focus on giving birth to a healthy baby boy.

Every time she saw someone else holding and playing with a baby in the alley, she would feel very envious.

Once she has her grandson, she can hold him and walk around showing him off, and then most of her worries will be gone.

Chang Kun nodded, walked into the yard, looked up at the persimmon tree, and saw that many of the persimmons on it were already as red as small lanterns. If the ripe persimmons were not picked soon, they would easily be eaten by sparrows.

Last time I picked most of the persimmons, but I deliberately left some on the tree to ripen naturally. Persimmons ripened artificially are completely different from naturally ripened ones.

"Cheng Min, Xiu'er, come out and play!"

Picking persimmons is such a fun activity, how could Xiuer miss it?

He retrieved a ladder and a long bamboo pole from the storeroom, returned to the persimmon tree, and found that Xiu'er and Cheng Min had not yet come out.

Upon entering the room, Cheng Min sat on the edge of the bed, while Xiu'er leaned against her legs, tilting her head back to listen to the story.

"You two seem to be having a lot of time on your hands. Come on, let's go out and have some fun."

Xiuer shook her little head: "Big brother, I want to hear more stories! Sister Xiaomin, tell me quickly, did the tortoise win or the rabbit win?"

With stories to tell, she no longer wants to go out and throw firecrackers.

Cheng Min pursed her lips, about to continue speaking.

Chang Kun laughed: "Oh? So, Xiu'er, you're going to listen to the story instead of going to pick persimmons with your older brother?"

"Picking persimmons?!" Xiu'er's big eyes lit up instantly, and she jumped up from Cheng Min's side and darted to Chang Kun's side.

"Big brother, let's pick persimmons! I want to pick persimmons too!"

You can hear stories anytime, but once the persimmons are picked, they're gone. Xiuer is very shrewd when it comes to fun things.

She turned to Cheng Min and said, "Sister Min, let's go pick persimmons together. We'll save the story for later."

Cheng Min shook her head: "You guys go ahead, I'm going to rest for a while."

Xiuer ran back again, grabbed Cheng Min's hand and shook it: "Sister Min, come on over, it's more fun with more people."

Chang Kun also advised, "Just sit there and watch, otherwise it'll be boring to be alone in the room."

Cheng Min wanted to lie down and take a nap, but she was up until midnight last night and didn't feel very energetic when she woke up today.

Now that both Chang Kun and Xiu'er have invited her, she didn't hesitate: "Okay, but I'm not available today. I can't help much with picking persimmons by climbing up and down the hills."

Xiuer patted her little chest: "Sister Xiaomin, watch me, I can help."

Last time her older brother picked persimmons, she ran around below, helping to pack the persimmons into sacks, putting in a lot of effort.

The three walked to the persimmon tree. Chang Kun took out a small cloth bag and tied it to the end of the bamboo pole. Ripe persimmons are very fragile and will break if they are bumped even slightly.

Sitting on a stone bench under a tree, basking in the warm sunlight, Cheng Min squinted as she watched Chang Kun climb the ladder.

Xiuer held onto the ladder tightly with her little hands, her little mouth calling out, "Big brother, slow down, don't fall."

Chang Kun slowly climbed the ladder, but most of the persimmons were out of his reach.

Gently loop the persimmon through the small cloth bag at the end of the bamboo pole, twist your wrist slightly, and pull it down. The ripe persimmon will fall steadily into the small cloth bag without any bumps or knocks.

A bamboo pole with a small cloth bag was extended under the tree, where Xiu'er was already waiting. Her little hands took out ripe persimmons from the bag.

She accidentally used too much force and her finger broke through the persimmon peel.

"Oh dear! Brother, the persimmon has split open!"

Seeing the bright red juice flowing out of the persimmon, she quickly put her mouth to it.

With just a gentle inhale, the little girl's eyebrows shot up instantly.

How can it taste so good?!

It's sweet and smooth, even better than honey water!

She took two big, deep breaths, coating her lips with a layer of orange-yellow, before noticing Cheng Min smiling at her from the side.

"Sister Xiaomin, you should have some too, it's so sweet!"

Xiuer moved closer to Cheng Min and stuffed a bruised persimmon into Cheng Min's mouth.

"Mmm, this is delicious!"

Cheng Min didn't mind the persimmons that Xiu'er had left over, and she took a big sip to suck out the persimmon kernels.

These persimmon kernels are soft and chewy, and it's quite fun to eat them.

The two of them took turns eating, and soon the persimmon was gone, leaving only the soft, limp skin.

Xiuer's hands were sticky, and she held the persimmon peel, reluctant to eat it, only licking it in small bites.

"You two are just busy eating, hurry up and help with the work!"

Chang Kun, who was in the tree, stretched his bamboo pole down again and saw that his wife and younger sister's mouths had turned yellow from eating, which he found a little funny.

"I'll do it, I'll do it!"

Xiuer was still holding the persimmon peels she hadn't finished eating, and her hands were sticky and full of juice. She was sure she would make the cloth bag filthy later.

Cheng Min stopped her, endured her discomfort, walked to the bamboo pole, reached out and took out the persimmon, carefully held the bottom of the persimmon, and put it into the small bamboo basket that had been prepared.

The small bamboo basket was lined with dry straw, and then several layers of soft leaves were placed on top. Ripe persimmons are easily damaged by bumps and bruises, which can cause them to rot.

You shouldn't pull on the stem when you pick them up, as the stem of a ripe persimmon is very fragile and will fall off if you use too much force.

Once the persimmon stem falls off, the juice will leak out through the opening, attracting insects and making it impossible to store.

Judging from how skillfully Cheng Min handles the persimmons, she has done this job before and is much better than Xiu'er.

With persimmons to eat, Xiu'er didn't compete with Cheng Min for chores; instead, she sat to the side, eating and counting.

"One...two, three..."

Just as he was happily counting, his little head was suddenly slapped.

Liu Meifen glared at Xiuer: "Didn't you see that your sister Xiaomin has trouble walking? She won't help with the work, but she's got plenty of energy for eating persimmons!"
