Chapter 518 Causing Trouble
Zhang Shuzhen felt that it was too much of a hassle for Chen Feng and his sister to only make one dish since they rarely came back, and she wanted to make a few more.
But Chen Feng insisted on stopping him, saying that one dish was enough. He added that with the hot weather, cooking too many dishes would be a waste if they couldn't be eaten.
"Grandma, do you still treat me like a guest? We're family, why are you being so formal?"
We're not staying for just a day or two, so take your time cooking and we'll eat at our own pace.
Zhang Shuzhen couldn't argue with Chen Feng, so she had no choice but to do this.
So, the Sheng family's dinner consisted of a one-pot meal of pork ribs, green beans, and cornbread.
Despite the simple food, the children ate it with great joy, all saying it was delicious and fragrant.
So many ribs, and in the end the kids gnawed them all out, leaving not a single one.
Hua Hua went out hunting and didn't come back in the evening. The children still made milk powder and fought over feeding the little tiger cubs.
As is their usual practice, they argued all night about naming the two tiger cubs.
Both tiger cubs were born to their mother, so they were named Huanhuan and Lele.
Sheng Xiping knew perfectly well that these brats would definitely cause all sorts of trouble if no adults were watching them.
Well, this bunch of mischievous kids always have a large group of them wherever they go.
The children cheered, and Sheng Xinhua was overjoyed. The sense of accomplishment from making a gun himself was truly captivating.
"What's the use of just looking good? Whether it can fire is what really matters. Xinhua, is this gun just for show?"
It was summer vacation, and the children of Wang Jianshe, Chen Weiguo, and several others had all returned to the forest farm, along with Liu Qiang and his brothers, and Zheng Xianyong's grandson.
He even left the camera at home and taught Chen Feng how to use it, so that Chen Feng could take more photos in his spare time and at least have something to do.
Sure enough, the children had a blast as soon as Sheng Xiping left.
So the new manager was quite polite to Sheng Xiping and wanted to arrange a meal for him.
Sheng Xinhua sawed wood to make a gun mount, and carved grooves the size of gun barrels into the mount with a knife.
"I'm not entirely sure if it will fire. It's alright, we'll just have to try and see," Sheng Xinhua said with a smile, not at all angry.
So the group of children began testing the guns. Sheng Xinhua didn't dare to put gunpowder in directly, but only stuffed in match heads.
The adults in each family were all busy and had no time to spare, so when these children got together, they really ran wild and caused all sorts of trouble.
The children had a great time and didn't get ready for bed until nine o'clock.
Then Sheng Xinhua used wire to tie the gun barrel and gun mount together.
So at noon, Zheng Xianyong and his son organized a gathering, and everyone had a meal at Zheng's house.
Chen Feng helped by putting a bicycle strap on the iron pipe, which created friction and made it easier to tie.
Just then, Sheng Xiping got up to use the toilet and discovered it. He opened the door to let Huahua into the house and casually skinned the roe deer.
"Wow, this gun is beautifully made, Xinhua, you're amazing!" Liu Qiang and the others exclaimed in admiration upon seeing it.
However, there weren't any particularly dangerous places around the forest farm, so let him do as he pleased. After Chen Feng went to university, he wouldn't have many opportunities to come back and cause trouble.
But for some reason, Sheng Xinhua tried to tie it up several times, but he couldn't get it tight.
Sheng Xiping drank some alcohol at noon, went home and slept until about three o'clock, and then drove back home after waking up.
As long as the kids are happy, that's all that matters; the adults don't care about such things.
You can indeed make a sound with just a match head, but it's not very dangerous.
In particular, the cooperation between the forest farm and Huayang Wood Products Factory has solved the livelihood problem for the factory workers.
Zheng Xianyong's eldest grandson, Zheng Tianshun, watched from the sidelines with immense envy.
After two days of hard work by Chen Feng and Sheng Xinhua, a gun shaped like a pistol was finally made.
The bolt and trigger are the same as those on the previous chain gun.
However, this kid has a sharp tongue; no matter how much he likes someone, he'll still say something unpleasant.
As dawn approached, Hua Hua returned, and unsurprisingly, brought home a roe deer.
Chen Feng and Sheng Xinhua both patted their chests and assured Sheng Xiping that they would definitely behave themselves, not run around, and not cause trouble.
And sure enough, it actually went off! With a snap, the experiment was a success.
The new director of the forest farm was transferred from elsewhere and was not familiar with Sheng Xiping, but he had been there for quite some time and had heard a lot about Sheng Xiping from the people in the farm.
Boys are all pretty much the same; they can't move an inch when they see a gun.
The meatball soup with flatbread was a real treat for Chen Feng and his men, who kept saying how wonderful the forest farm was, saying they couldn't get this kind of food in the city.
So, encouraged by the children, Sheng Xinhua began loading gunpowder.
As soon as Zhang Shuzhen saw there were roe deer, she got up early in the morning to chop the meat and make meatballs for the children.
Sheng Xinhua remembered the gun he hadn't finished making yet, and started thinking about it again.
On the iron pipe of the bicycle's front brake, about two inches from one end, Sheng Xinhua had used something to chisel out a small hole.
"If you put some black paint on the gun rack, it would look even better."
After breakfast, Sheng Xiping visited Liu Changde at the Liu family home and then went to the forest farm's processing plant to check on the production of disposable chopsticks.
Before leaving, Sheng Xiping specifically told the children to stay home and not to go out and cause trouble.
Having learned from his previous experience, this time Sheng Xinhua only loaded half a firecracker's worth of gunpowder and then plugged it with a small wad of cotton.
"Everyone, get out of the way, keep your distance."
Last time I tested the gun, a perfectly good chain gun ended up with only some wires left; the other parts had somehow flown away.
