The two little ones, one on the left and one on the right, one tugging at the hem of the clothes and the other hugging the leg, chattered incessantly.

Liu Meifen was both amused and exasperated. This little Kun was always teasing the two little girls. What if he made them cry? Let's see how he handles that.

Chang Kun pretended to think for a moment, then slowly said, "But there's only one set, so who should we give it to?"

The two girls exchanged a glance, and Xiu'er spoke first: "Big brother, I'm the oldest, give it to me first!"

Zixia retorted, "Big brother, I'm the youngest, Xiuer, you have to give way to me!"

"I said it first!"

"He's my older brother!"

The two girls argued back and forth, neither willing to give in, until their faces turned red and their necks were thick with anger.

Chang Kun couldn't help but laugh, and bent down to take out two small windmills from his bag, one in each hand.

"I'm lying to you all, there are some of those things."

Xiuer and Zixia exclaimed "Wow!" at the same time, each grabbing a windmill.

Xiuer is red, Zixia is green, and after a little learning, they know how to play.

The two girls held up the windmill and blew on it hard, making it spin rapidly, and they burst into laughter.

After blowing for a while, Xiuer came over again to rummage through her bag.

"Big brother, anything else?"

"Don't flip through them anymore, we'll distribute them when we get back." Chang Kun wanted to leave some small gifts for Xiao Qing and the others.

Xiuer wouldn't listen. She reached in and pulled out a small bamboo basket, smaller than the palm of her hand, and very delicate.

"This one's beautiful, it's definitely for me!"

Before Chang Kun could speak, Zixia had already come closer, looking at him expectantly.

Xiuer hid the bamboo basket behind her back: "Mine!"

Zixia pouted, and looked like she was about to cry.

Chang Kun quickly took out a floral handkerchief from his bag and handed it to Zixia.

"Here you go, don't cry, don't cry."

Zixia took the handkerchief, unfolded it, and saw that it was embroidered with a big tiger catching a little white rabbit, and the embroidery was very lifelike.

Wow! So beautiful!

She wiped her face with a handkerchief, immediately stopped crying, and grinned.

Xiuer saw this and came over again: "Big brother, I want a handkerchief too."

"That's all, just one piece." Chang Kun shrugged.

Xiuer pouted, looked down at her bamboo basket, then at Zixia's handkerchief, thought for a moment, and then handed the bamboo basket to Zixia.

"Then I'll switch with you."

"I won't change it!"

"I'll give you another piece of candy!" Xiuer added.

Zixia shook her head again.

Xiu'er panicked and shouted at Chang Kun, "Big brother, you're being unfair!"

Chang Kun laughed heartily and pulled out a handful of colorful glass beads from his bag, which sparkled in the sunlight.

"Stop arguing, half for each of us."

The two little girls' eyes lit up, and they waited with their hands outstretched.

Chang Kun counted them; each person received five or six.

Xiuer picked up a glass bead, which was red inside, held it up to the sun, and screamed in surprise.

Zixia held the beads in her palm and counted them one by one, but she couldn't count them all. She was so anxious that she kept scratching her head.

Seeing his expression, Xiu'er leaned over and helped him count: "One, two, three, four, five... You have five, and I have five too."

The two girls squatted on the ground, their heads cupped in their hands, each holding a windmill. The windmills spun around, and glass beads leaked through their fingers, making a tinkling sound.

They crawled on the ground to pick up the beads, and when they rolled too far away, they would crawl after them, and when they caught up, they would hold them up and laugh.

Liu Meifen glared at her son, annoyed: "Look what you bought for them! They're rolling around on the floor playing with beads, making their perfectly good clothes all dirty!"

Chang Kun shook his head. The two little ones didn't act like girls at all. They always went out clean and tidy, and came home covered in soot.

"Let's go, let's play some more at home."

He picked up the beads that had rolled away and put them in the two girls' little pockets.

Xiuer patted the pocket hard to make sure it wouldn't fall out.

Zixia followed suit and patted her little pocket.

The two girls ran ahead, calling out, "Big brother, hurry up, let's go home..."

After exiting the station, Chang Kun, carrying a bag, and Liu Meifen, leading the two girls, had just reached the square when they heard someone shout.

"Chang Kun, Chang Kun!"

Chang Kun looked up and smiled.

Lü Jiawei and Hou Jun were standing next to the stone pier, smoking.

Upon seeing Chang Kun, the two grinned, tossed their cigarette butts aside, and ran over.

"Are you two on duty today?"

Hou Jun nodded, looking him up and down. "Of course! You've come back from outings?"

Lü Jiawei leaned closer and immediately noticed the bag in his hand: "Chang Kun brought a lot of things, huh?"

Before Chang Kun could speak, Xiu'er had already poked her head out from behind, holding a small windmill in her hand.

"My older brother brought me a windmill, a small bamboo basket, and lots of pretty beads."

Hou Jun chuckled and squatted down to tease her, "Xiuer, want to let Monkey King play with you?"

Xiuer hid the windmill behind her back and blinked, "No way! You said you'd take me horseback riding last time, you lied!"

"Hahaha!" Hou Jun patted her head. "I'll definitely take you next time. Brother Monkey keeps his word."

Xiuer snorted and hid behind Liu Meifen.

Liu Meifen smiled and shook her head, greeted the two of them, and led Xiu'er to play aside while they talked.

Chang Kun looked at Lü Jiawei and suddenly remembered Qin Meiru's incident on the day he left.

"Xiao Lü, how's your blind date going?"

Lu Jiawei paused for a moment, then waved his hand, looking sullen.

"Don't even mention it!"

Hou Jun chuckled beside him: "It's already over. You don't know, that family..." He leaned close to Chang Kun and whispered.

"The whole family participated in the grain distribution; the father, mother, daughter, and son were all sent to labor camps."

He patted Lü Jiawei on the shoulder as he spoke, "This kid really dodged a bullet. If he had really married that Qin family, wouldn't he have been dragged down by them for the rest of his life?"

Lu Jiawei smiled wryly: "That's right. After my mother found out about Qin Meiru's family, she burned incense for three days in a row, saying that it was the ancestors' blessing."

"If you ask me, I have to thank Chang Kun for this. If you hadn't reminded me, I'm afraid I would have..."

Upon learning that the Qin family had all been sent to a labor camp, Chang Kun felt a surge of satisfaction. This family had brought it upon themselves and deserved it!

Qin Meiru? Liu Meifen's expression changed when she heard this name.

He quickly asked, "Um... Xiao Lü, is your blind date Qin Meiru? From Qin Family Village?"

Lü Jiawei nodded: "Yes, that family is really despicable. They stole corn seeds from the brigade and got a good beating from the villagers. They're probably doing hard labor in the labor camp now!"

Liu Meifen's expression was strange. She glanced at Chang Kun, opened her mouth, and only after a long while did she manage to utter a sentence.

"Stealing grain seeds... How dare this family..."

When Qin Meiru got engaged to her son, if the Qin family hadn't changed their minds and demanded more dowry, her grandson would probably be born by now.

I never expected this family to steal grain seeds. Luckily, we didn't marry into their family, otherwise, my family would probably be dragged down with them now.

She breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, the previous marriage proposal hadn't come to fruition.

Xiaomin, the daughter-in-law now, is more than ten thousand times better than the Qin family!
