Sun Xiulan instructed, "Xiao Xin, listen to your brother-in-law and don't cause trouble."

"Okay, Mom, I'll be good, hehe..."

Cheng Xin was so happy to be able to touch a gun with his brother-in-law that he wished he could fly up the mountain right now.

"Don't worry, Mother, I'll take good care of Xiaoxin," Chang Kun reassured her. "You two go and have fun."

Cheng Rongjiang smiled and said, "I still trust Xiao Kun very much."

After driving Cheng Xin back to the courtyard house, Xiu'er and Zixia were already waiting.

Two little girls, each holding a small bamboo basket, stood in the courtyard, gazing longingly.

Cheng Xin jumped out of the car: "Brother-in-law, what should I bring?"

Chang Kun glanced at him, went back into the house, picked up two burlap sacks, threw one to Cheng Xin, carried the other himself, and took out the water beads that had been seized earlier, weighed them in his hand, and handed them to Cheng Xin.

Cheng Xin took it, his hands trembling.

Last night, while he was sleeping, he secretly touched his older brother's sidearm, but he couldn't feel anything through the holster.

At this moment, the long spear was given to me by my brother-in-law. Judging from his nonchalant attitude, was he going to give it to me?

Thinking of this, he became even more excited, his face flushed, and he fumbled around for the gun barrel and bolt.

Seeing his expression, Chang Kun smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll teach you when we get into the mountains."

He put the bullets into his own bag and didn't reload them for him.

This kid wants to join the army. He should practice his marksmanship now; it will benefit him later.

Xiuer and Zixia came over wanting to play too, and Xiuer even reached out to touch it, but Chang Kun pulled her away.

Xiuer retorted, "Big brother's biased! He assigned it to Brother Xin!"

This little girl isn't afraid of Cheng Xin at all.

Zixia chimed in, "That's right, that's right, it's biased!"

Chang Kun laughed: "You two aren't even as tall as the gun barrel, how can you carry a gun? I'll teach you when you're older."

(Please remember 1219.m.k.com for the fastest chapter updates.)

Seeing that the two little ones were about to cry again, he threatened, "If either of them cries again, I won't take them up the mountain."

The two girls stopped fussing and ran ahead, each carrying a bamboo basket.

Once outside the city, the roads became increasingly narrow.

Chang Kun rode his bicycle, Xiu'er sat on the front bar, and Zixia sat on the back seat. The two little ones chattered incessantly.

Cheng Xin carried the gun and ran behind, occasionally resting the gun on his shoulder as if aiming.

Chang Kun turned around and asked, "Are you tired? I'll ride slower."

Cheng Xin chuckled: "Brother-in-law, don't let my thin appearance fool you. I'm used to running around in the mountains where I live, so this road is pretty flat."

Once inside the mountains, Chang Kun hid and locked his bicycle in a grassy hollow, then led the three of them further into the mountains.

Xiuer and Zixia ran ahead, picking wildflowers and chasing butterflies, swinging their little bamboo baskets back and forth, having a wonderful time.

Cheng Xin followed beside Chang Kun, occasionally touching the gun on his shoulder.

When they reached a ravine, Chang Kun stopped and took Shui Lianzhu off Cheng Xin's shoulder.

He crouched down, rested the gun on his shoulder, and waved to Cheng Xin.

"Come here, I'll teach you."

Cheng Xin stared intently at the gun, not blinking.

Chang Kun pointed to the front sight of the gun: "This is the target. Align the front sight with your eye. Look from this end, make sure you're in sight, and then pull the trigger."

"That's easy, brother-in-law, I can figure it out in one look."

Chang Kun chuckled, "You can learn it at a glance, but you'll fail as soon as you try to learn it."

If shooting were that easy, the world would be full of sharpshooters.

The two girls shouted at them, "Big brother, hurry up! You can't catch us!"

Chang Kun patted Cheng Xin on the shoulder: "You practice here. I haven't loaded any bullets yet. We'll start firing when you've practiced enough."

……

Meanwhile, Liu Meiling couldn't stay at the Chang family's house any longer.

She was very curious after Chang Kun described the pills as miraculous.

When they got home, the child's father hadn't come home from get off work yet, and Hongxia had gone off to play somewhere again. Zixia went up the mountain with Chang Kun.

The room was empty; she was all alone.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, I took out the paper package and looked at it again and again in my palm.

The pill inside is round and brown, only slightly larger than a broad bean, and has no particular smell.

Liu Meiling stared at the pills for a while, her heart pounding with anxiety.

Chang Kun wouldn't lie to her, that's for sure.

But are these pills really that miraculous? An elderly man can only concoct a few pills every few years…

Over the years, she has tried many folk remedies, but none of them have ever worked.

The thought of wanting a son had lingered in my mind for many years.

This idea started when Hongxia was born, and many years later, Zixia was born. Now Zixia is almost of school age.

What methods haven't I thought of over the years?

I've prayed to Buddha, secretly consulted fortune tellers, and drunk bitter medicine that I couldn't swallow. Every time, I stared with hope, only to endure the ordeal with disappointment.

I'm almost forty, is it really possible for me to have another child?

She placed the pills on the table, poured a glass of warm water, and sighed softly.

Regardless, it's all from Xiao Kun's heart; what if it really comes in handy?

The thought of giving birth to a son for the Wang family warmed her heart, like a firewood being stuffed into a stove in winter, with flames leaping upwards.

The pills were small and went down the throat easily, with little taste, which was much better than those folk remedies.

She took the pill and sat on the edge of the bed for a while, but nothing happened.

Liu Meiling couldn't help but laugh; she realized she had been foolish.

This isn't a magic pill; it can't possibly work just by being eaten.

She put the paper package away, stood up, and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

While chopping vegetables, she suddenly felt a little hot.

It wasn't the kind of heat that's oppressive, but rather a warm, comforting feeling, like drinking a bowl of hot soup in winter, with a warmth emanating from the stomach.

She stopped, touched her face; it wasn't hot, just a little warm.

After a moment of stunned silence, she lowered her head and began chopping vegetables again.

As I was chopping, I suddenly remembered something from many years ago.

When Hongxia was first married to Lao Wang, she hadn't been born yet. She was walking down the street and saw other people holding chubby babies in their arms. She thought to herself, "I want to give Lao Wang a son someday."

She was young then, with a smooth face, shiny black hair, and a brisk walk.

Now, she raises her hand to touch her face, and sees some wrinkles. She has started to get older over the years, and feels like something is missing.

Suddenly, she felt a warmth spread through her body.

This time it wasn't heat, but a surge of energy.

The energy travels upwards from the waist, through the chest, to the face, and then down to the lower abdomen.

She subconsciously touched her face and covered her lower abdomen, a long-lost feeling instantly welling up in her heart.

this……!

I paused for a moment, then quickly ran to the mirror.

The person in the mirror looks the same as always: black hair, a few wrinkles at the corners of their eyes, and looks a little younger than their peers.

Upon closer inspection, the face in the mirror had brighter eyes than usual, and cheeks as radiant as peach blossoms.

A thought struck her: Why not strike while the iron is hot?

He ran to the phone: "Hey? Old Wang, come back here for a second."

"Why ask so many questions? Just come back and have a son!!"

"hurry up!"
