After being reborn, I have seven older sisters.

Song Chunsheng quickly walked towards Zhang Junwu, and his footsteps could be heard when he was still two or three zhang away from him.

"Chunsheng, what brings you here?"

Upon seeing Chunsheng, Zhang Junwu immediately closed the book in his hand and stood up.

"I... came to see you and thank you!"

Chunsheng originally wanted to say that he had come to return the 5 yuan, but he felt that it would be a bit presumptuous to talk about money as soon as they met, so he immediately changed his mind.

"You should have rested at home these past few days; there's no need to rush over here!"

"I'm fine now. I just came out to get some exercise and also brought you some snacks!"

As Chunsheng spoke, he handed over the bag of dried persimmons in his hand.

Zhang Junwu smiled in surprise, "You even brought something! What's good to eat?"

When he realized it was a dried persimmon, he immediately took one out, took a bite, and praised it with a look of enjoyment.

"I've heard that your family's persimmon cakes are the best in the village, but I've never tried them before. After trying them today, I can confirm they're truly different from others—they're so delicious!"

"What is this? It tastes so good?"

Just as the two were talking, a person suddenly walked out of the red brick warehouse behind them. Although the person was not as tall as Chunsheng and Zhang Junwu, he was not much shorter either. His strong figure showed that he had served in the army before.

"Brother Quan Gang, what are you doing here?"

Upon seeing the person, Chunsheng immediately called out the other person's name, his voice tinged with surprise.

"I'm here for joint training, Chunsheng, what are you doing here...?"

Before Huang Quan could finish speaking, Zhang Junwu looked at the two of them with a surprised expression, "You two know each other?"

"Yes, Chunsheng is my brother!"

As Huang Quan Gang spoke, he immediately put an arm around Chun Sheng's shoulder and said in a tone that suggested they were very familiar with each other and had a very special relationship, "Chun Sheng's sixth sister, Chun Zao, and I got engaged before the new year!"

Zhang Junwu was instantly shocked. "My mother told me that Song Chunzao's boyfriend was the militia captain from their village. So it was you!"

Huang Quan nodded vigorously, a smug smile on his face, and said, "Yes, that news is correct!"

At this moment, Chunsheng asked, "Does my sister know that you're here for the joint training?"

Huang Quangang immediately shook his head and said, "This was arranged on short notice this morning, she doesn't know yet. I plan to go to your house to see you after training is over."

Huang Quangang is from Lishuping Village, Jinsanyu Commune. His cousin's family is from the same village as Song Chunsheng, namely Songjiazhuang Village.

The other party's mother and Chunsheng's mother, Liu Yan'e, were both members of the sewing group, and Huang Quangang and Song Chunzao met through this relationship.

With the help of a matchmaker, the two met a few times and had a good impression of each other. Their parents also felt that they were a good match, so they got engaged in less than six months.

Song Chunsheng had a relatively positive impression of Huang Quangang, his future brother-in-law, considering both his character and family background. He believed that his sixth sister, Chunzao, would have a good life after marrying into the family.

In Chunsheng's future memories, his sixth sister and brother-in-law had a smooth life except for a period of time after they got married. Their family of four was poisoned by a pesticide leak that occurred when they contracted an orchard in the village.

He had already memorized the exact time and place of that future tragedy, and he would definitely use various methods to intervene and prevent it.

Since that time is still far off, it's not the time for him to worry. He just hopes that his sixth sister and brother-in-law can live their lives well in the present.

Moreover, in a few years, when he has the ability, his sister and brother-in-law may not need to contract any orchards anymore, and the pesticide leak will naturally be avoided.

"No rush. My sister and parents are working in the fields right now. They'll be back from the fields by the time you finish training."

"Yes, that would be great!"

As Huang Quangang and Song Chunsheng were chatting, Zhao Yongjie, the militia captain from another village who had come to participate in the joint training, also came over.

As soon as they arrived, Zhao Yongjie spotted the persimmon cake wrapped in paper in Zhang Junwu's hand. He reached out to take it with a strange smile, but was stopped by Zhang Junwu and Huang Quangang at the same time.

Zhao Yongjie looked at Huang Quangang in surprise, "Junwu doesn't allow us to eat, fine, but why are you blocking him too? When did you become his ally? Are you from Jin Sanyu Commune or Qinyuan Commune?"

Huang Quangang and Zhang Junwu exchanged a smile.

Before Huang Quan could speak, Zhang Junwu immediately began to explain for him.

"Although Quan Gang and you are both from Jin Sanyu Commune, you two are not from the same village, while his partner is from Songjiazhuang Village in Qinyuan Commune. So, as the son-in-law of our Songjiazhuang Village, it shouldn't be a problem for you to put us together!"

Upon hearing this news, Zhao Yongjie looked at Huang Quangang with disbelief, "Is what Junwu just said made up, or is it true?"

"How could he have made that up? Of course it's all true!"

As Huang Quangang spoke, he pulled Chunsheng's shoulder closer to his own, then looked at Zhao Yongjie with a smug expression and said, "This is Chunsheng, my fiancée's younger brother."

Zhao Yongjie then turned his gaze to Chunsheng's face and began to examine him carefully.

Chunsheng immediately extended his right hand and said earnestly, "Hello, my name is Song Chunsheng, and Quan Gang is my sixth sister's fiancé."

Zhao Yongjie was now completely convinced. He quickly shook Chunsheng's hand and introduced himself, "Hello, hello, my name is Zhao Yongjie, and I'm from Zhaojiabao Village, Jinsanyu Commune."

Then, looking at Huang Quangang with envy, he asked, "When did you get engaged? How come I didn't know?"

Huang Quan Gang paused, then grinned mischievously, "You're still young, what do you need to know about those things!"

Zhao Yongjie frowned instantly. "I'm not young anymore. I'll be twenty-three after the New Year, only one year younger than you..."

Just as the two were bickering, Zhang Junwu took a dried persimmon out of a paper package and handed it to Zhao Yongjie, saying, "Here, you're not a kid anymore, here's one for you!"

Zhao Yongjie took the persimmon cake and immediately took a bite.

Soon, the juice from the persimmon dripped down his chin, and he quickly sucked it in to avoid it getting on his clothes.

Looking at the half-eaten persimmon in front of him, he asked Zhang Junwu in surprise, "Why is there still juice in this persimmon?"

Zhang Junwu smiled and said, "I can tell you've never had a good persimmon cake before. This is a specialty of our Songjiazhuang, called 'soft-heart persimmon cake'."

"So this is what soft-boiled persimmon cake is. I've heard of it before, but I've never seen it before. It's definitely tastier than the ones I make at home."

Just as Zhao Yongjie was putting the remaining half of the persimmon into his mouth, several militiamen from Songjiazhuang Village, who had been watching the fight from a distance, immediately ran over upon hearing the words "soft-boiled persimmon."

But when their gazes fell on Chunsheng's face, they all instantly became uneasy.

"What are you waiting for? Come and get it!"

Looking at the bewildered expressions on the faces of his militia members, Zhang Junwu knew what they were thinking: they were still shocked by Chunsheng's resurrection.

He didn't care about any of that. He immediately took out several dried persimmons from the paper package and gave one to each of them. Then he said with a smile, "Chunsheng brought these from home to thank you for rescuing him at the dam yesterday!"

The moment Zhang Junwu uttered those words, Huang Quangang and Zhao Yongjie were instantly stunned.

In an instant, both of their gazes turned to Song Chunsheng, and they asked, "You're the one from your village who came back to life?"
