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

When the guard came to the house to inform us, Wang Hongxia was hanging up the washed bed sheets, muttering curses at Zixia under her breath.

Upon hearing that her friend had wet the bed, Xiu'er's eyes widened, and she burst out laughing: "Wow! Zixia wets the bed again? I haven't wet the bed in ages!"

Such fragile friendships are like plastic ones. When Xiuer heard that Zixia had wet the bed, she smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into slits, and she didn't forget to praise herself for no longer wetting the bed.

Chang Kun didn't expose her lie. This girl had recently been ridiculed by her older sisters for wetting the bed.

Wang Hongxia was in a great mood at this moment, and patted Xiu'er's little head: "Yes, yes, our little Xiu'er is the best, unlike that wicked Wang Zixia!"

"Honestly, I don't even want Zixia to sleep with me, but my mother insists on forcing her on me!"

She mumbled something for a while and then led the group into the room.

"You must be tired from riding your bike all the way, sister-in-law, Xiuer, come and have some soda."

Wang Hongxia took out four glass bottles, opened them with a screwdriver, and handed them to Cheng Min first, then to Xiao Xiuer, and finally to Chang Kun.

Chang Kun shook his head. This second sister has good upbringing; she knows to give the food to her brother's wife first, then to the little one.

"Soda! I love soda the most!" With soda in hand, Xiu'er didn't bother to find her friend Zixia and gulped it down.

I usually hang out with my mom at the supply and marketing cooperative, where they have soda, but my mom would never spend money to buy it for me.

After drinking until she was half full, she finally let out a long sigh and looked around, asking, "Isn't Zixia home?"

Wang Hongxia said with a smile, "Yes, she went out with your second aunt. Your second sister is taking you out to play today."

Today, Cheng Min and Xiu'er are the best shields; I must make good use of them.

The thought of her mother and Zixia returning home to find her not there, but her younger brother Changkun instead, filled her with smugness.

If Chang Kun and the others hadn't come, she wouldn't have dared to back out at the last minute, for fear that her mother would find even more people to go on blind dates with her.

Now, the reason is readily available: my younger brother and sister-in-law, along with Xiao Xiu'er, have come, and I certainly have to keep them company.

"Xiaomin, Xiuer, let's go shopping, the three of us. Little brother, if you have something to say, you can tell my mother when she gets back." After sitting for a short while, Wang Hongxia made the suggestion.

Someone definitely needs to stay at home to deal with Mother later. It's not good to leave Cheng Min behind, and we definitely can't leave Xiu'er behind either. I can only apologize to my younger brother.

Feeling bad about leaving Chang Kun behind, Wang Hongxia got up and went to her father's study. After rummaging through the drawers for a while, she took out a box and handed it to Chang Kun.

"You've finished all those cigars from last time, right? Here's another box for you. This is for you, don't tell my dad..."

After saying that, she hooked her arm around Cheng Min's with one hand and took Xiu'er's hand with the other: "Let's go, let's go play!"

Cheng Min turned to look at Chang Kun, who waved to her.

"Go ahead, I'm not interested in you girls shopping."

Since her aunt and uncle weren't home anyway, it was a good opportunity for Cheng Min to relax and have some fun.

"You're smart to know what's good for you!" Wang Hongxia nodded to Chang Kun, indicating her satisfaction. "Let's go quickly. I heard there's a new movie out recently; I'll take you to see it..."

Xiu'er, still confused, looked up and asked, "Second Sister, what movie? It's not as good as going to the old Tianqiao to see the monkey show and acrobatics; that's so much fun!"

"Be a good girl, and if you behave, your second sister will buy you a creamy ice cream later..."

After watching the three walk away, Chang Kun thought for a moment. He didn't know what time his second aunt would return, and preparing lunch at that time would inevitably be chaotic.

Since no one is around, I might as well prepare the meal myself.

There are still quite a few grouse caught in Northeast China left in the space. Stewing a grouse soup would be great; it would be so delicious it would make your eyebrows fall off.

Use the space to clear out the six flying dragons, and then soak the mushrooms in hot water.

Making gypsy soup takes a lot of effort, but luckily there's still some time before lunch.

My aunt's kitchen is quite large, with two gas stoves and a traditional earthen stove, which is perfect for Chang Kun to use.

There were still some frogs in the space. Chang Kun originally wanted to make braised frogs in soy sauce, but unfortunately he didn't have any Northeastern soybean paste, so he had to settle for stewing the frogs and potatoes together.

Simmer the grouse and frogs over low heat, then place the two pots on a stand. On one pot, arrange a plate of hairy crabs, and on the other, place glutinous rice cakes wrapped in bamboo leaves as a main dish.

Chang Kun was preparing to stir-fry silkworm pupae in the third pot. The silkworm pupae were a reward from the system before, and each one was plump and round. If you took a bite, they would definitely burst with juice.

These are all things that are rarely seen in Beijing. Even if my uncle is a minister, he would definitely be satisfied with these things.

Lunch will be a family dinner, with a maximum of five adults and two little girls; he doesn't plan to cook too much.

Four meat dishes plus two vegetable dishes are enough.

Five cucumbers and eight persimmons were taken out of the space. The cucumbers were smashed, and the persimmons were mixed with white sugar. It was the best choice to cut through the greasiness.

The stew was prepared and kept warm in the pot, just waiting for my second aunt to come back so that I could stir-fry the silkworm pupae and add some cold dishes.

Stepping outside, Chang Kun strolled around the yard for a smoke, when he heard the cracking sound of whips being cracked on the road outside.

Wait, is someone cracking a whip?

I remember watching short videos in my later life, where old men would crack whips in parks as a form of exercise. Could it be that this place does the same thing?

He followed the sound out of the courtyard, and on the road not far away, a five or six-year-old child was vigorously cracking a whip on the ground, while a large ice monkey was spinning happily on the ground.

Wow! This kid's really something, summer's not even over yet and he's already playing with ice monkeys.

All the roads here are made of cement, which is really good for playing with Ice Monkey.

Chang Kun was itching to try it. In his previous life, when he was bored, he often played with ice monkeys on the ice in winter and was a master at it.

He walked over to the child and watched for a while. Seeing that the ice monkey had been played with to death, he called out, "Kid, can I borrow it to play with for a while?"

The child glanced at Chang Kun, then clutched the ice monkey protectively in his hands: "I haven't had enough fun with it myself yet!"

Little rascal, you're quite possessive of your food!

It's just an ice monkey, like everyone else has one.

Chang Kun walked back to the courtyard and used his spatial ability to cut the donkey hide into small strips, which he then braided into a rope.

A simple leather whip is made by tying a leather rope to a small wooden stick.

This leather whip is sturdy and durable, perfect for whipping ice monkeys.

There's also a lot of jujube wood in the space. It's quite hard and would be suitable for making ice monkeys. It's a pity I don't have any steel balls on hand. Otherwise, I could put steel balls under the ice monkeys and they would spin even better.

The space is used to carve the jujube wood into a cone shape that is thicker at the top and thinner at the bottom. The bottom is shaved into a sharp point. Without steel balls, the ice monkey will wear out more quickly and will be ruined after a short time.

Holding an ice monkey made of jujube wood and a leather whip, he had just stepped out of the courtyard when he saw that the child's ice monkey had been whipped to death again.

Seeing Chang Kun come out with a plain wooden ice ball, the child laughed loudly: "Big guy, you're using a piece of broken wood as an ice ball? It doesn't even have a steel ball, I doubt it can even spin!"

The child was very proud of himself and shook his ice monkey. His ice monkey was colorful and quite beautifully painted.

Big guy? Is he calling himself?

Chang Kun touched his chin. At over 1.8 meters tall, he was indeed a big guy compared to this kid.

"Kid, playing ice hockey is all about skill. I'll show you today!"
