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

Chang Kun did not take away anyone's livelihood.

After watching the commotion for a while, without revealing the stall owner's methods, they led the little girls out of the crowd.

Xiao Qing tugged at Chang Kun's sleeve, her eyes filled with admiration: "Big brother, you're amazing! Can you do magic tricks too?"

Xiu'er, perched on Chang Kun's shoulders, leaned down and whispered in his ear, "Big brother, are you like Sun Wukong, able to use magic?"

Chang Kun laughed and pinched her little cheek: "Alright, stop guessing. Come on, let's go eat candied hawthorns."

The little girls cheered and skipped along behind.

As Cheng Xin walked, he scratched his head, unable to understand how his brother-in-law had managed it, and his admiration for his brother-in-law grew even stronger.

Cheng Min was also curious and leaned closer to whisper, "How did you do that? I stared at it for ages and still couldn't figure it out."

Chang Kun leaned down and whispered in her ear, a wicked smile playing on his lips, "Serve me well tonight, and I'll tell you."

Cheng Min's face flushed red instantly, burning from her ears all the way to the base of her neck.

She bit her lip, reached out and twisted Chang Kun's waist hard, making him gasp in pain, but her wicked smile only deepened.

The little girls were skipping and jumping in front of them, unaware of their little antics.

Xiuer, perched on Chang Kun's shoulders, glanced down and tilted her head, asking, "Big brother, why is your face red?"

Chang Kun coughed twice: "It's hot, it's hot."

We strolled around Dashilan for a while, watched shadow puppet shows, listened to storytelling, and a few little girls each held a string of candied hawthorns. The hawthorns were coated with shiny sugar, and they were crunchy and sweet and sour when you took a bite, leaving your mouth full of sugar residue.

Xiuer ate the most heartily, her cheeks puffed out like a little squirrel, and sugar water dripped down the corners of her mouth. Cheng Min wiped it for her several times with a handkerchief.

As the sun began to set, the little girls' stomachs started to rumble.

Xiao Qing rubbed her stomach and looked at Chang Kun expectantly: "Big brother, I'm hungry."

Xiao Mu and Xiao Shui nodded in agreement, and Xiu'er even shouted, "Big brother, I want to eat meat!"

Chang Kun glanced at the sky and waved his hand, "Come on, I'll take you to Donglaishun."

"Donglaishun?" Cheng Xin's eyes lit up. "You mean Donglaishun, the one where you eat hot pot?"

"Otherwise, which Donglaishun is there?" Chang Kun laughed. "Today, I'll treat you to something special."

The little girls clapped their hands with joy. Xiao Qing grabbed Xiao Mu and Xiao Shui and ran off, but Chang Kun pulled her back: "Don't run, it's not far, just follow along."

The signboard of Donglaishun Restaurant fluttered in the evening breeze, and before even entering, a rich aroma of mutton wafted over.

The hall was bustling with noise and steam. In the middle of each table was a copper pot with a blazing charcoal fire, and the soup was bubbling and boiling.

Chang Kun booked a large private room, and a group of people sat together.

When the copper pot was served, the girls were stunned—the brass pot was polished to a shine, with a chimney standing in the middle, from which red flames leaped out, and the soup broth around it was boiling and steaming.

"Why does this pot have a chimney?" Xiu'er asked, perched on a chair and peering into the pot.

Cheng Min smiled and pressed her back into her seat: "Don't move around, be careful not to burn yourself."

You have to get the mutton yourself; the thinly sliced ​​mutton is red and white, and it's arranged neatly.

Chang Kun picked up a piece of mutton with his chopsticks, dipped it a few times in the boiling soup, and scooped it out as soon as the meat changed color. He then dipped it in the sesame sauce and held it to Xiu'er's lips.

Xiuer opened her mouth, took a bite, chewed a couple of times, and her eyes lit up immediately. She mumbled, "Delicious! Delicious! Big brother, I want more!"

Everyone at the table burst into laughter. Several young girls imitated Chang Kun, picking up the meat and cooking it themselves. Some were overcooked and too tough to chew, while others were taken out before they were fully cooked, leaving their mouths and hands covered in sesame sauce.

Cheng Xin ate the most, his chopsticks never stopping. He ate half a plate of mutton by himself, and beads of sweat dripped down his forehead, but he didn't bother to wipe them away.

Looking at the people at the table, Chang Kun felt a warm glow in his heart.

Cheng Min sat next to him, looking down as she cooked meat. Suddenly remembering what had just happened, her face flushed again, and she secretly kicked Chang Kun under the table.

After the meal, the little girls' bellies were round and full, and Xiu'er was so full that she kept burping. She touched her round belly with her little hands and looked very satisfied.

Chang Kun glanced at the sky; it was still early, so he led everyone to stroll around Dashilan for a while longer.

After we'd had our fill of shopping, he waved his hand and said, "Come on, I'll take you to see a movie."

The little girls' eyes lit up immediately.

These days, being able to watch a movie is a rare treat.

The Wangfujing Cinema wasn't far away, and when the group walked over, there was already a queue at the entrance.

Chang Kun looked up at the poster hanging at the door; the movie being shown was "Five Golden Flowers".

Next to the poster were introductions to other movies—"Battle of Shanghai," "Song of Youth," "The Lin Family Shop," and "Young People in Our Village," all of which were newly released this year.

Buy your ticket, enter the venue, find your seat, and sit down.

It was Cheng Xin's first time in a movie theater, and he was incredibly curious. He looked around, touched the seats, looked at the ceiling, and muttered, "Why is it so dark?"

Cheng Min pulled him aside and whispered, "It'll be lit soon, don't talk."

The lights dimmed, the screen lit up, and music began to play. The little girls immediately quieted down, their eyes wide open, staring intently at the screen.

The story of "Five Golden Flowers" unfolds between Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake. The antiphonal singing on the March Street is lively and joyful, and everyone is captivated by it.

In the film, Jin Hua and A Peng meet by Butterfly Spring, their singing is melodious, and the scene is as beautiful as a painting.

Xiao Mu's eyes sparkled as she whispered to Xiao Shui, "That older sister is so pretty."

Xiao Shui nodded vigorously: "The song is also nice."

The movie, which lasted for more than an hour, ended quickly. When the lights came on, the girls, still wanting more, started chattering excitedly.

"That Jin Hua sister is so pretty!"

"That Ah Peng is so stupid! He searched for so long and still got the wrong person!"

"Exactly! It's right in front of me, but I just can't recognize it!"

Cheng Xin rarely spoke up: "Those girls all look pretty much the same, so it's not his fault for mistaking them."

The group of people argued back and forth, one after another.

Back at the courtyard house, Xiuer ran to feed the squirrels as soon as she entered, telling them stories from the movie, regardless of whether they understood or not.

Xiao Qing and the others also gathered around, their little heads huddled together, and a new round of debate began.

Cheng Min chuckled and shook her head, whispering, "They went wild today."

Chang Kun smiled and said, "It's rare for Xiao Qing and the others to come out and play on a weekday."

Cheng Min glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, then leaned closer and lowered her voice even further: "That trick of turning the ball into a smaller one... tell me tonight, how exactly did you do it?"

Chang Kun's lips slowly curved into a smile, and he was about to speak when Cheng Min blushed and quickly covered his mouth with her hand: "Don't talk nonsense!"

Chang Kun tightened his grip on her hand, grinning mischievously as he whispered in her ear, "I haven't even told you yet, what's the rush?"
