Binbin shook his little head and asked Lin Qingyan, "Auntie is so amazing! How did you kill the wild boar? Can you teach me?"

Lin Qingyan smiled and said, "Of course you can. You can start practicing horse stance tomorrow."

The adults burst into laughter.

Binbin asked, "What's a horse stance? Can you kill a wild boar by doing a horse stance?"

Aunt Zhang was worried that Binbin was asking too many questions, which annoyed Lin Qingyan. "We're going to eat meat, so we need to hurry, or there won't be any left for us. Let's not talk about this now; Mom will tell you when we get home."

As soon as Binbin heard that they were going to eat meat, he immediately forgot about practicing horse stance.

"Okay, okay, I want to eat meat! Mom, let's go quickly!"

He sprinted ahead on his short legs.

"Binbin, slow down, you don't need to run so fast," Aunt Zhang called after him.

After getting off work, Gu Mingzhou didn't come back to call Lin Sisi and his mother; he went straight to the cafeteria.

When Lin Sisi saw that Gu Mingzhou hadn't returned, she went out to check and saw Lin Qingyan, Lu Zhengting, Battalion Commander Zhang's wife, Yang Qiuyue, and Hu Jianguo all together. Could it be that they were all going to the canteen for dinner?

As these people passed by her house, she asked Yang Qiuyue, "Sister-in-law, where are you all going?"

"Let's go to the cafeteria for lunch."

Yang Qiuyue didn't mention the wild boar meat. She just said this to Lin Sisi and then left with the others.

Lin Sisi thought about how Lin Qingyan had hunted a wild boar yesterday, and that the group was probably going to eat wild boar meat there.

She returned home, and after a while, not seeing Gu Mingzhou, she went to look for Gu's mother.

"Mom, why hasn't Mingzhou come back yet? He was always home for dinner on time the past few days."

Mrs. Gu shook her head. "You're asking me? How would I know?"

Lin Sisi seemed to have thought of something again. Yesterday on the mountain, Gu Mingzhou tried to get close to Lin Qingyan again. Gu Mingzhou also went to the cafeteria today. Could it be that he knew Lin Qingyan was going to eat at the cafeteria today, so he deliberately went there?

"Mom, let's go to the cafeteria to eat too. I think Mingzhou should be there, let's all eat there."

"But the food is almost ready."

"Save it for dinner."

"Alright then."

So the two of them also took their utensils and went to the cafeteria.

In the mess hall, soldiers and their families lined up for food. Today's meal was wild boar stew with vermicelli, plus multigrain steamed buns.

Except for the wild boar meat, which doesn't require coupons, the vegetables and steamed buns all need to be purchased with coupons.

Lin Qingyan and Lu Zhengting sat down to eat after getting their food. Gu Mingzhou saw this and prepared to get his own food to join in the fun, but when he turned around, he saw his mother and Lin Sisi.

Lin Sisi walked quickly to him. "Mingzhou, Mom and I are here too. Let's sit down and eat together in a bit."

Gu Mingzhou inwardly cursed his disappointment. They were already here, and with so many people around, he couldn't send them away even if they clung to him.

He agreed, "Okay."

Lin Sisi and Gu's mother originally wanted to cut in front of Gu Mingzhou, but Gu Mingzhou didn't let them. Even if he agreed, the people behind him wouldn't.

Gu Mingzhou had no choice but to go to the end with them.

Lin Qingyan was eating when she inadvertently saw Gu's mother and Lin Sisi queuing up for food.

Today's meat and vegetables, including wild boar meat, were mixed together with other vegetables, and they were also hunted together.

She said to Sister Zhang and Yang Qiuyue, "Sisters, look over there, Lin Sisi and her mother-in-law have arrived too. Do you remember yesterday when they were on the mountain, they said they wouldn't eat the wild boar meat I hunted?"

Zhang's wife and Yang Qiuyue both nodded.

"Yeah, I told you yesterday I wasn't going to eat there, but you still came today."

When it was almost Lin Sisi and Gu's mother's turn to get their food, she called out to Sister Zhang and Yang Qiuyue, "Sisters Zhang, you can be my witnesses. They said yesterday that they wouldn't eat this meat, so they definitely can't eat it."

She stood up and went to the window first, followed by Sister Zhang and Yang Qiuyue.

Today, the head cook personally served the meals. When it was Lin Sisi and Gu's mother's turn, Lin Qingyan walked over to the head cook and said, "The two of them said yesterday that they wouldn't eat the wild boar meat I hunted, so it's better not to hunt it for them."

Gu's mother and Lin Sisi both looked at her in astonishment, not expecting Lin Qingyan to be so serious.

The head cook was confused, so Zhang's wife quickly told him, "Yesterday, the five of us went up the mountain to pick mushrooms. When we encountered a wild boar, Comrade Qingyan said he could kill it. The other two didn't believe him and said Comrade Qingyan was bragging. They said they wouldn't eat the wild boar meat even if Comrade Qingyan killed it, so let's not let them eat it."

Lin Sisi and Gu's mother immediately changed their expressions.
