By evening, Grandpa's house was packed with people, including Grandpa's family and Aunt's family.
Sun Zhengguo didn't keep any of the 30 jin of meat he was given out. He distributed 24 jin among several families, leaving only 6 jin of meat for everyone to have dinner together that night. Even the wolf pelts were shared.
The Lin family brought some wolf offal, some wheat flour, and cornmeal.
Sun Xiaoying and her family also brought some dried meat, wheat flour, and cornmeal.
Things are different now than before. When you visit someone's home, you have to prepare your own food. Otherwise, if you eat their food, what will they do next month?
"Grandma, is it ready yet? I can't wait any longer."
"Hahaha……."
Seeing Sun Zhengnan's greedy look, everyone couldn't help but laugh.
"Look how hungry my dear grandson is! Alright, alright, let's get the food ready."
Grandma said with a big laugh.
Upon seeing this, everyone rushed forward to help serve the dishes.
The meal tonight was plentiful. Sun Zhengguo not only provided meat, but also brought out some wild yams, wild mushrooms, and wild vegetables as side dishes.
Besides that, tonight's main dish is steamed buns made from a mixture of flour and water. Since the whole village is having a special meal today, there's no need to worry about disturbing the neighbors.
After everyone had served the dishes, the children's table couldn't wait any longer and started eating first.
Sun Zhengguo has now been promoted and is sitting at the same table as the adults.
Grandpa also brought out a small jar of rice wine tonight. It was brewed a long time ago and kept hidden away because he couldn't bear to drink it. If it were now, people wouldn't have enough to eat, so where would they find grain to brew wine?
“My dear in-law, didn’t you say you’d finished drinking last time? Where did this wine come from?”
Lin Hong asked with a smile.
"Maybe I'm getting old and my memory is getting worse, but I assure you, this really is the last jar."
"Hahaha……."
The conversation between the two drew laughter from everyone.
However, Lin Hong didn't believe it. They were all ancient foxes, what were you trying to do with this ghost story?
"Alright, alright, second brother, pour the wine, let's start eating."
Seeing Lin Hong's puzzled expression and thoughtful look, Grandpa knew that the old man definitely didn't believe him, so he quickly changed the subject.
Seeing this, Sun Dahe happily poured wine for everyone, even Sun Zhengguo, saying that he was now grown up and could drink.
Whether or not he drank alcohol was irrelevant; seeing everyone so happy, Sun Zhengguo couldn't resist joining in the fun.
After the wine glasses were filled, Grandpa, as the head of the family, raised his glass first and said something.
"We're all family here. We should all thank Zheng Guo for allowing us to gather together and enjoy a good meal today. Let's toast Zheng Guo with our first drink of the year. Does anyone have any objections?"
It is not appropriate for elders to toast younger people, but none of those present objected today.
Because they all knew that it wasn't just about being grateful for the meal; there were many other people they wanted to thank!
"Yes, yes, yes! Everyone, raise your glasses and toast Zheng Guo!"
Lin Wenjun echoed this.
Seeing everyone toasting him, Sun Zhengguo felt embarrassed and hurriedly stood up.
"We're all family, it's not necessary, it's not necessary. How can an elder toast a younger person? Today, I'll take this opportunity to offer a toast to all the elders and wish us all a better and better life."
"Alright! Cheers, everyone!"
Grandpa stopped worrying about who was toasting whom and spoke again.
Everyone raised their glasses, drank the first glass of wine, and then began to savor the delicious dishes.
After dinner began, the women stopped drinking, leaving the wine for the men, while they ate steamed buns with the dishes.
The men slowed down their drinking and chatted, asking Sun Zhengguo to explain how he killed so many wolves.
Left with no other choice, Sun Zhengguo had to recount his experience of going into the mountains once more.
However, he didn't dare to mention that he killed several wolves with his bare hands, nor did he mention that he used his mental power to kill wolves later.
Even with the beginning and end removed, and after Sun Zhengguo's embellishment, the story he tells is still captivating.
Everyone found it very exciting, and even some of the children ran over to listen to the story, forgetting to eat.
Although Sun Zhengguo's story was very interesting and well-connected, Lin Hong still harbored a lingering doubt.
He was at the scene before and after the slaughter today. Maybe everyone was too happy and forgot how these wolves died.
But Lin Hong never forgot that these wolves were all shot dead by his grandson.
What's puzzling is that there were eight or nine wolves at the scene, none of whom died from gunshot wounds.
This is a problem that shouldn't be debated. The wolf is dead, so everyone has meat to eat.
But Lin Hong still couldn't believe that his grandson had really killed those wolves with his bare hands.
Although I really want to understand this matter, there are too many people here. Since my grandson hasn't explained it, I'll just ask him after everyone leaves.
The dinner lasted for more than an hour, after which several women helped clean up.
Sun Xiaoying's family left first, then Lin Wenjun also left with his family, and several members of the Sun family went to rest.
Only the grandfather, maternal grandfather, second uncle, and Sun Zhengguo remained in the main room.
Sun Zhengguo was originally going to leave, but Lin Hong had already told him that he would ask him something later, so he didn't leave.
"Zhengguo, Grandpa has something to ask you. You must answer honestly and not lie to Grandpa."
"Grandpa, ask away! What could I possibly lie to you about?"
Grandpa and Uncle, who were standing nearby, didn't know what was going on either. They just sat there and listened.
"Jung-guk, were all those wolves shot dead today?"
Grandpa and Second Uncle didn't understand what Lin Hong meant.
Isn't that obvious? If he wasn't shot, did you think he was killed by fists?
But Sun Zhengguo understood that there were too many loopholes in this, and he had finally met someone who understood.
Fortunately, Grandpa wasn't an outsider; he was probably just satisfying his curiosity.
"Grandpa, you really have sharp eyes! You noticed that."
Lin Hong smiled and thought to himself, "What's so great about this? I've been a soldier for so many years, this is just basic stuff!"
Grandpa and Second Uncle, standing to the side, were completely bewildered, having no idea what the two meant.
Seeing that things had come to this point, Sun Zhengguo decided to stop hiding it, so as not to let his family worry about him in the future.
"To tell you all the truth, I killed some of those wolves with my bare hands, and used the rest to practice my marksmanship."
Sun Zhengguo has stopped pretending and laid his cards on the table; our strength is just that great.
As for the matter of mental power, let's continue to keep it a secret! After all, it's a bit too fantastical, and we're afraid it might scare them.
Upon learning the truth, everyone in the room was dumbfounded. This was already pretty surreal, wasn't it? Why don't you just fly to the moon?!
After a while, Grandpa finally came to his senses and said with a look of relief.
"Thanks to our ancestors, our Tongbei Quan has successors."
"Get some rest! We have important things to do tomorrow!"
After saying that, Grandpa left satisfied, thinking he would be able to get a good night's sleep.
After Lin Hong left, Grandpa and Second Uncle came to their senses. Second Uncle quickly went to Sun Zhengguo's side and started groping him all over.
Sun Zhengguo was so frightened that he retreated repeatedly.
"Don't move, let me check if you're hurt anywhere."
The second uncle was relieved only after confirming that his nephew was not missing any parts.
"Can't you ever give me a break? Do you think this is a joke? Those are dozens of wolves. If something happens to you, how am I supposed to explain it to your parents?"
"Well! I should have kept quiet. Grandpa is really something, he just had to ask me everything."
Sun Zhengguo grumbled inwardly.
But the matter wasn't over yet. After Uncle finished his lecture, Grandpa took over.
The two of them worked together to give Sun Zhengguo a loving lesson before letting him rest, and that was only because they had something to do the next day.
Back in his room, Sun Zhengguo was on the verge of tears.
What did I do to deserve this?
