"My mother-in-law and brother-in-law were separated when Xiaomin was little, so I'm going to take Xiaomin out to look for them," Chang Kun explained the whole story.

"Ah! This...this is a good thing!" Liu Meifen glanced at Cheng Min and said dryly.

This was certainly a great thing for Cheng Min, and she couldn't very well be a wicked mother-in-law, so she had to offer her full support.

It's a pity that the two have only been married for a few days, and even if the daughter-in-law is pregnant, it's not obvious yet.

"So... you've all made up your plans? You can't just wander around aimlessly without any strategy; you need to have a plan! And you have to take good care of Xiaomin on the way."

Seeing that Liu Meifen did not object, Cheng Min was a little touched. Such a reasonable mother-in-law was really wonderful.

"Mom, Chang Kun and I went to my second aunt's house today to ask my second aunt's husband to get a letter of introduction."

Cheng Min held her mother-in-law's hand and recounted her trip to her second aunt's house in detail.

"My second aunt said her experience was very similar to mine, and that if I hadn't already married Chang Kun, she would have wanted to adopt me as her goddaughter."

"Hahaha! My second sister is capable of doing this!" Liu Meifen's lips curled up. "Xiaomin, you've suffered since you were little, and your mother can't hold you back. I wish you success in finding your mother and brother this time."

Chang Dashan raised his glass and said to Chang Kun, "Xiao Kun, when you're out and about, safety is the most important thing. Be extremely careful."

"Yes, Dad, I know, I'll be careful."

A mother worries when her son travels far, especially at this time of year when food and clothing are scarce in many places. When traveling, all sorts of robbery and theft are bound to occur.

Nowadays, if you want to travel long distances, the only option is a clattering metal train, which is not only inconvenient but also not very safe.

The son, with his newlywed wife, has no idea how far he'll have to travel or how many places he'll have to go, to help find his mother-in-law.

How could they, as parents, not feel at ease?

The four younger sisters stared wide-eyed, and it took them a while to react.

Are Big Brother and Sister Xiaomin going on a long trip?

Xiu'er threw herself into Chang Kun's arms: "Big brother, where are you and Sister Xiaomin going? Take me with you, I can help you carry your things!"

Xiao Qing and the others crowded around Chang Kun, saying, "Big brother, big brother, don't forget me!"

From their parents' tone and expression, they sensed that their eldest brother and Xiaomin's trip was not simply a visit to relatives.

The four maids, two clinging to his arms and the other two to his legs, had Chang Kun completely immobilized.

At this point, they didn't bother playing with the myna bird anymore; they tied its little claws to a tree branch and tossed it aside.

"Big brother, please take me with you. I'm much stronger than Xiu'er, I don't need you to carry me." Xiao Qing pushed Xiu'er aside with her bottom and occupied Chang Kun's shoulder.

This infuriated Xiu'er: "I can walk by myself, I don't need my older brother to carry me! You all still have to go to school, and if you don't do well on your tests, you'll be punished by standing against the wall!"

Seeing that the girls were about to start arguing, Chang Kun quickly spoke up.

"Quiet down, everyone! This time, it's just you and your sister Xiaomin going out; we're not bringing anyone else!"

Seeing that their eldest brother was serious, the four girls didn't dare to say another word.

"Fine! I won't go then!"

"That's right, we're teaching our myna bird to talk at home!"

"Big brother, come back soon with Sister Xiaomin!"

The four girls were a mix of sadness, worry, and mostly reluctance to part with their eldest brother.

"Okay, when I come back, I'll bring you lots of delicious food and fun things!" This trip to the South will definitely bring you lots of new and interesting things, whether it's food, clothes, or other items, you can bring them back.

"Oh! Big brother is the best! Big brother is the greatest!"

Hearing that they were to receive some nice gifts, the four girls danced with joy.

When my older brother went to work before, he went out of the compound once and came back with lots of delicious food that they had never seen before.

More than the delicious food, they wanted their older brother to come back soon.

"Xiao Kun, here's some money and grain and oil coupons. It's good to have some on the road, even if you're poor." Liu Meifen pulled the money and coupons out of some crack in the bricks and stuffed them into Chang Kun's hand.

Previously, my son went out alone, but this time it's different. I also need to take good care of my daughter-in-law and bring extra money on the road, just in case we need it.

Although he still had a lot of money in his own space, Chang Kun did not refuse and silently accepted his mother's kindness, so that his mother would feel at ease.

The family was a bit down and lost their appetite for the sumptuous meal.

With parting imminent, the four younger sisters, who were still quite young and didn't quite understand, all pouted and lost their desire to play.

After finishing his meal, Chang Kun went back to his room to pack his things—food, clothes, and other necessities. He never thought he had too much to bring on a long trip.

Cheng Min led the three maids in reviewing their lessons. Xiao Xiu'er knew that her older brother and sister Xiao Min were going on a long trip, so she didn't dare to cause trouble and obediently sat aside pretending to listen to the lesson.

In the kitchen, Liu Meifen was clearing away the dishes when she sighed.

"Honey, I'm always worried about Xiao Kun taking Xiao Min with him on his long trip."

"Who can argue with that? Sigh, but the children are all grown up and have their own ideas. Besides, finding Xiaomin's mother is a serious matter. Let them be."

"You're so carefree!" Liu Meifen glared at her husband. "What do you mean, 'let them do what they want'? Our son isn't your own flesh and blood, aren't you worried at all!"

Feeling depressed, she couldn't help but complain about her man a few times.

Chang Dashan didn't reply. He lit a cigarette and exhaled a large puff of smoke in a muffled voice.

Back in his room, Chang Kun lay on his bed and began to think about how to make a princess bed.

She also sent a jar of tiger penis wine to her second aunt's husband, thinking that her second aunt and uncle would be busy tonight, and that Xiao Zixia would probably have to sleep at Hongxia's house for a while.

He plans to make a princess bed with bunk beds, the upper bunk being narrow and the lower bunk being wide. He will install stairs and railings around the bed, and add a sloping staircase next to it, making it look like a slide. He thinks the little girl will jump for joy when she sees it.

It's convenient to have space; not only is it easy to chop the bed into boards, but even carving patterns on the edge of the bed is a piece of cake.

Chang Kun quickly repaired the bed planks and bed railings. In later times, a bed with this kind of riveted structure would cost several thousand yuan.

It's not that my uncle's family can't afford this kind of bed, the key is that all the beds these days are old-fashioned and there's no design for little girls at all.

Chang Kun was relieved after carefully inspecting the wood to make sure there were no burrs.

The bed was ready, just waiting to be installed at my second aunt's house. Chang Kun used the remaining Chinese toon wood to make some fences.

Whether in the bedroom or the living room, create a small secret hideout; Little Zixia will surely have a lot of fun playing there.

As for her younger sisters, there are swings and slides in the yard, enough for them to play around with.

After finishing these tasks, Chang Kun stretched and walked into the yard.

Liu Meifen was holding Cheng Min's hand and whispering something to her. Cheng Min's face was flushed, and she seemed a little embarrassed.

Seeing Chang Kun come out, she hurriedly hid inside the house.

"Mom, what did you say? What's wrong with Xiaomin?"

Liu Meifen blinked: "Don't pry into women's gossip!"
