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

My uncle brought ten jin of fried noodles, plus ten jin of fried tofu skin, for a total of twenty jin.

Brother-in-law Yang Lijun also pulled out a small bag: "Xiao Kun, I got some canned meat from the cannery. It'll be convenient to carry on the way."

"Wow! This is rare! Lijun, you just started working, how did you get this?" Liu Meifen took the bag, took out a tin can, and looked at it carefully.

This kind of canned meat isn't even available in her supply and marketing cooperative. I heard that you can only occasionally find one or two cans in the large supply and marketing cooperatives in Wangfujing, and they're always snapped up as soon as they appear.

I never expected that my son-in-law would be able to get it after only a few days of working.

Yang Lijun chuckled and said, "Mom, I work as a driver at the cannery. I only managed to get this by asking my master for help. It's best if Xiao Kun and Xiao Min take it with them on the road."

This canned meat is very oily, with a rich and fragrant meat flavor. It tastes delicious even without reheating. Being able to have a bite of this when you're traveling is a real treat.

Liu Meifen wanted to say a few more polite words, but Chang Kun grabbed the bag and said to Yang Lijun with a smile, "Brother-in-law, then I won't stand on ceremony. We've never had this before in our family. Let's open one and try it together tonight."

We're all family; being too polite will only create distance.

Liu Meifen glared at her son: "What are you trying? We're saving it for you and Xiaomin to eat on the way! Do we need any more food at home?"

"Let the little girls have a taste; they've never eaten this before."

"You just spoil them! You want to give them everything to eat, there are so many things they've never tried before!" Liu Meifen carefully packed away the bag, turned around and went into the kitchen. "It's settled then. You and Xiaomin can keep these things for the road. We have plenty of food at home."

"Fine, whatever you say." Chang Kun had no choice but to give in to his mother. He turned around and looked around, puzzled. "Where's Xiu'er? Where did she go?"

"Where else could she go? If not the supply and marketing cooperative, then the state-run restaurant across the street. That little girl goes there every day to freeload, she's full before the family even starts eating."

Chang Kun smiled. With his aunt working at the state-run restaurant, the little girl certainly wouldn't go hungry. Since coming to the city, he had noticed that his younger sisters' cheeks had become chubby.

Knowing that Chang Kun and his wife were going on a long trip in a few days, the younger brother and brother-in-law must have a lot to say to their parents. After chatting for a while, they got up and went to their own yard next door.

"Mom, I'll take everything I've prepared to the train station tomorrow and buy the tickets while I'm at it."

"This is important. You must think carefully about what to bring. It will be inconvenient if you are missing anything on the way." Liu Meifen looked at her son and couldn't help but nag again.

"Be careful on the road; I've heard there are a lot of pickpockets on trains."

Chang Kun laughed: "Mom, have you forgotten what I do? Do you think the train station police are afraid of this?"

"In the station, that's your territory. But when you're out and about, without the police badge, who would know who you are? It's always good to tell you to be careful."

"Okay! I know, I'll be careful." Chang Kun quickly replied, not wanting his mother to worry too much. "I'll take good care of Xiaomin too, you go and prepare dinner."

"I'll be going out in a couple of days. I'll rest for a couple of days. Going out takes a lot of energy." Liu Meifen said cryptically. After saying that, she hurriedly turned around and went into the kitchen, leaving Chang Kun, who was embarrassed, and Cheng Min, who blushed.

"It's all your fault! I told you last night not to come, but you insisted on coming!" Cheng Min twisted Chang Kun's waist muscles forcefully.

It must have been when Chang Kun was fooling around that his mother heard the noise he made. He's so embarrassed!

Chang Kun felt wronged. His mother wanted to hold her grandson as soon as possible, but she also wanted him to rest more. This was too contradictory.

Moreover, Cheng Min herself was clearly addicted to it, but now she's blaming herself. She's really getting the benefit but acting innocent.

In another ten or eight years, when women are at their most addicted, even if they don't want to come, Cheng Min probably won't allow it.

Reaching middle age, using a thermos to brew goji berries is a bittersweet memory.

The young couple sat in the yard playing with the fish and chatting. After a while, Xiuer ran back into the yard, baring her teeth and brandishing her claws.

"Big brother, Sister Xiaomin, come quick!"

The two looked up and saw the little girl with a strip of cloth wrapped around her arm and the myna's claws, hopping and skipping into the yard.

"The myna bird can not only call me 'sister' now, it can also call me 'Xiuer'!"

Xiuer teased the little myna: "Come and call out, or I'll give you candy."

"Sister, sister..." The myna bird's voice was clear and bright as it tilted its head to look at Xiuer's little pocket.

Xiuer took out a piece of candy from her pocket and held it to the myna's mouth: "Don't call me 'sister,' call me 'Xiuer,' and I'll give you candy if you do."

Chang Kun quickly dissuaded it, saying, "Don't give it candy. Mynahs eat insects and dried fruit."

We finally found a myna bird, so we mustn't let Xiaoxiu feed it too much sugar and kill it.

"Oh? Big brother, I gave the myna bird candy, and it was so happy eating it."

Chang Kun was speechless. Could this myna really be a special species, learning to speak quickly and even eating different things than ordinary myna?

"Call Xiu'er quickly! Didn't you call her just now?" Xiu'er became anxious when she saw the myna bird only calling "sister, sister" randomly.

She had just taught the myna bird to call her Xiuer, and she wanted to show off to her older brother, but the myna bird was so uncooperative.

"Watch me." Chang Kun picked up a bamboo pole, knocked a caterpillar off the top of the persimmon tree, gently pinched it, and brought it to the myna's mouth.

"Call me Xiuer, and I'll give you bugs to eat."

The myna tilted its head, stretched out its sharp beak, picked up an insect, and slid it down its throat: "Xiuer... Little Xiuer..."

"Hey! Big brother, listen, did you hear that? It's barking!"

Cheng Min couldn't resist moving closer to the myna bird and stroking its smooth feathers: "This little guy is amazing! He's only been here a day or two and he's already learned two phrases!"

Xiuer giggled, "It's because I taught it so well! The myna is so smart, even smarter than my eldest sister's little treasure!"

Seeing Xiuer's smug look, Chang Kun felt a little relieved. Even if he wasn't home, with this myna bird keeping her company, he wasn't worried about the little girl getting bored.

When Xiaoqing and the others came home from school, Xiuer showed off to her three older sisters, which made Xiaoqing and the others extremely envious.

If they didn't have to go to school, the myna bird would probably be calling Xiaoqing, Xiaomu, and Xiaoshui by now.

I initially thought going to school would be a lot of fun, but I never expected that Xiaoxiu would be the most carefree at home.

"Big brother, could you catch a few more mynahs for us? This mynah only calls out 'Xiuer,' it doesn't even call me by my name!"

Xiao Qing clung to Chang Kun's arm, swaying it back and forth affectionately. She had just taught the myna bird its own name dozens of times, but the myna bird still only knew how to call her "sister" and "Xiuer".

"My older brother is going out in a couple of days, and he'll definitely bring you some fun things back. Be good at home."

Xiao Qing stuck out her tongue: "Okay, big brother, you have to come back soon. I'll miss you when you're not home!"

Chang Kun laughed: "You're afraid that if I'm not home, you'll upset Mom and no one will plead for you, right..."
