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

Chang Kun turned to leave, but turned back at the door and said, "By the way, keep an eye on Xiao Cui. Don't just wait for the girl to come to you. Send her some gifts, say nice things to her, don't be like a block of wood."

Zhang Quhun nodded vigorously, grinning foolishly.

As Chang Kun stepped out of the dormitory, a cool autumn breeze blew in his face.

He lit a cigarette and slowly walked back, thinking to himself that he needed to buy those things.

Qu Hun's mother is long gone. As for bedding and clothes, I'll have her and Cheng Min help me take care of them later. Women know how to do these things.

The banquet arrangements need to be made in advance, so we don't end up scrambling at the last minute.

He wasn't in a hurry about the money; he knew Zhang Quhun's character and knew he could pay it back sooner or later.

Back home, the little maids were already up and chattering in the yard.

As soon as Chang Kun entered, Xiao Qing rushed up to him, asking, "Big brother, where are you taking us today?"

Xiao Mu and Xiao Shui joined in the chatter, their eyes sparkling.

Chang Kun called Cheng Min over and said with a smile, "You can play, but you have to pass a test first. You give them some questions, Xiao Qing, Xiao Mu, and Xiao Shui. They can only go out to play after they pass the test."

Cheng Min understood, turned around and went back into the house to get paper and pen, then sat down at the stone table and gave him a few arithmetic problems and some new words.

The three little girls gathered around dejectedly. Xiaoqing bit the pen and frowned, Xiaomu counted on her fingers, and Xiaoshui wrote crookedly while lying on the table.

Xiuer bounced around beside them, clapping her hands and laughing, "If you don't know how to do it, you'll be punished by standing in the corner again, hahaha..."

After a while, Cheng Min began to grade the papers.

"None of them are up to standard." She put down her pen, tapped the three little girls' heads, and said, "We're not going anywhere this morning. We'll finish correcting these first."

The three little girls looked dejected. Xiao Qing pouted and muttered, "It's finally the weekend..."

Xiuer's smile froze instantly. She looked at this person, then at that person, stamping her feet in frustration: "Why can't any of you pass?! Now I can't play either!"

Xiao Qing glared at her: "If you're so capable, you write it yourself!"

Xiuer turned her head away and ignored her, squatting down beside her, resting her chin on her hand, looking utterly hopeless.

Chang Kun pulled Cheng Min aside: "I just went to Qu Hun's place and asked you to help arrange things for Xiao Cui. Two sets of bedding, two blankets, two sets of clothes, one for autumn and one for winter. Xiao Cui isn't tall, she's shorter than you, so you can just buy ready-made clothes for her, so it won't be too much trouble to make them."

Cheng Min hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, I'll go to the department store and take a look. What kind of material do you want for the bedding?"

"Anything will do, they won't use anything too fancy." Chang Kun thought for a moment, "Qu Hun is in a hurry, you can choose whatever you like, just don't make it too shabby."

As the two were talking, Xiu'er slipped over unnoticed, tugged at Chang Kun's sleeve, and looked up at him, asking, "Big brother, where are you going?"

"I'm going out to take care of some errands."

"I'm going too!" Xiu'er's eyes lit up, and she wrapped her little arms around Chang Kun's legs.

"No, you can stay home and play with your sisters."

"No! They have to write and do math, it's not fun!" Xiu'er buried her face in Chang Kun's knees and refused to let go.

Xiao Qing sat by the stone table, pen in hand, gazing longingly in this direction.

She wanted to go too, but looking at the few unfinished math problems in front of her, and then at Cheng Min, she didn't dare to speak up.

Xiao Mu and Xiao Shui also looked up, gazing at Xiu'er with envy, but neither of them dared to utter a sound.

It's because they don't listen in class and only whisper, and after class they're busy playing hopscotch and drop handkerchiefs.

Faced with Cheng Min, who was both a teacher and an older sister-in-law, none of them dared to fry chicken wings.

Cheng Min glanced at the girls and said, "Finish correcting the questions first, then you can play."

Xiao Qing lowered her head and continued biting the pen handle.

Xiao Mu and Xiao Shui obediently rewrote the characters. The three girls were quiet and didn't dare to breathe loudly.

Seeing that her sisters had no chance, Xiu'er became even more enthusiastic. She clung to Chang Kun's lap, tilted her head back, and said with bright, sparkling eyes, "Big brother, I don't need to write or do math, I'll go with you!"

Chang Kun glanced at Cheng Min, who smiled and didn't stop him.

Chang Kun bent down, picked Xiu'er up, and tapped her nose: "Okay, I'll take you. But you have to be good and not run around."

Xiuer nodded vigorously, wrapped her little arms around Chang Kun's neck, and turned to make a face at Xiao Qing.

Xiao Qing was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but Cheng Min was standing right next to her, so she could only glare at Xiu'er and then lower her head to continue studying.

Chang Kun carried Xiu'er in one arm and held Cheng Min's hand with the other as they left the courtyard.

Xiuer leaned on his shoulder, humming an unknown tune, looking quite pleased with herself.

A soft, quiet sigh came from behind: "I want to go out too..."

After going outside, Chang Kun took a few steps and noticed that Cheng Min was acting strangely. She was walking slowly and taking smaller steps than usual, as if she was a little uncomfortable.

"What's wrong?" Chang Kun turned around and glanced at her.

Cheng Min didn't speak, her face slightly flushed, and she took two more steps forward, her brows furrowing slightly.

Chang Kun stopped, looked her up and down, and suddenly understood. He couldn't help but smile.

Seeing his expression, Cheng Min blushed even more, bit her lip, glared at him, and said in a low voice, "It's all your fault... You were too exhausted last night, and it's hard for me to walk today. It'll probably take me several days to recover."

Chang Kun suppressed a laugh and didn't dare to reply.

Cheng Min muttered under her breath, "Luckily, Mom had already left when I woke up this morning, otherwise, if we had run into each other, where would I have put my face..."

No sooner had she finished speaking than a person emerged from the alleyway ahead. It was Chang Mei, the older sister from next door, carrying her baby in her arms as she stepped out to bask in the sun.

"Hey, where are you two going so early in the morning?" Chang Mei walked over and immediately noticed that Cheng Min was walking strangely. She asked with concern, "Xiao Min, what's wrong? What happened to your leg?"

Cheng Min was stunned for a moment, her face flushed red, and she stammered, "N-nothing... I just twisted my ankle this morning."

Chang Mei believed her and frowned, saying, "If you sprained your ankle, don't walk around. Stay home and rest."

"It's okay, it's not serious, just walk slowly." Cheng Min quickly waved her hand, the blush on her face refusing to fade.

Chang Kun stood to the side, his lips twitching as he desperately tried to suppress a laugh.

Xiuer leaned on his shoulder, looking around in confusion, and asked curiously, "Big brother, what are you laughing at?"

"I'm not laughing, you're mistaken." Chang Kun said sternly, reaching out to straighten Xiu'er's head.

Chang Mei didn't think much of it and followed with Xiao Bao in her arms: "Where are you going? I'll come too. I'm so bored staying at home."

"Go to the department store and help Qu Hun pick out some things for his wedding," Chang Kun said.

"That's perfect, I'll go take a look too, and see if I can find any suitable scraps of fabric to make a little outfit for Xiaobao." Changmei said, picking up Xiaobao and following her.

The group left the alley and headed towards the department store.

Cheng Min walked beside Chang Kun, her steps slow, occasionally glaring at him.

Chang Kun held Xiu'er in his arms, pretending not to see anything, but the corners of his mouth remained upturned.
