"It's okay. You and my sister played together today, and we'll be good friends from now on. Good friends need to share."
Zhang Shuguang quickly set up another furnace.
The children at the door looked at each other, and no one dared to take the first step.
"Bai Shitou, if you want to eat, come here. If you don't want to eat, leave quickly. You guys are just staring at me like this, not wanting to eat or leave. It makes me feel embarrassed to eat."
Smelling the aroma of the skewers in his hand, Lei Laosan's mouth was almost watering.
Zhang Panpan looked at the skewers in her hand, then looked at her playmate lying at the door, struggled for a moment, and made a difficult decision.
She ran to the door and held out her little hand.
"Come on, take one skewer each and try it first. My brother is still grilling it, it will be ready soon."
Although the little girl was very hungry now and was tempted by the rich aroma of the grilled skewers, her elder brother said that friends should share.
This is her home and she thinks she should take the lead.
"Panpan, are you really going to give it to us?"
"Don't talk nonsense, take it quickly, otherwise I will regret it later."
If it weren't for her eldest brother's teachings, if it weren't at her doorstep, the little girl probably would have been reluctant to leave.
For a real foodie, it is really cruel to force himself to give away the delicious food when it is right in front of him.
"Thank you, Panpan. My mother bought some glutinous rice today and said she wants to make rice dumplings and glutinous rice cakes. I'll send you some tomorrow to try."
The children in the military compound actually had enough to eat, but Zhang Shuguang’s grilled skewers were so delicious that the six or seven-year-old children simply couldn’t resist them.
"Don't stand at the door, come in."
Zheng Yushan stood up from the stool and greeted the children at the door like a hostess.
"Sister Yushan, that's not necessary. We can just eat one to taste it."
Several children stood at the gate of the yard and refused to come in no matter what.
The children also know that nowadays every household has a fixed amount of food. If they eat one more bite, others will have to eat one less bite.
If you can't resist your greed, just have a taste of it shamelessly. It would be too much to eat it without any regrets.
"Well, you guys can eat these skewers too."
Since everyone was getting along in this way, Zheng Yushan no longer forced them, but gave away the skewers that Zhang Shuguang had left for her.
"Thank you, Sister Yushan."
The children thanked them politely.
"You guys should eat these first, we'll wait for the next batch."
Seeing Zhang Panpan and Zheng Yushan gave away the skewers in their hands, the three children, led by Cao Jingjing, also gave away the skewers in their hands.
"Thank you, big brother, thank you, sister Yushan, thank you, Panpan, thank you, sister Jingjing, thank you, Qiangjun, thank you, Lei Laosan, we are done eating, here are the sticks."
Several children returned the sticks.
"We also had a barbecue at home a few days ago. Did you smell it?"
Zhang Panpan was half showing off and half curious.
"How could I not smell it? I was drooling at home."
"I smelled it too. I wanted to run out to see who was cooking, but my dad grabbed me by the collar and dragged me back."
Ordinary farmers all know that they cannot visit each other during meal times, and professional soldiers will never allow their children to be so ignorant.
"I go hunting all the time. If you smell anything someday, just come over here."
Zhang Shuguang has never been a stingy person, and he really doesn't care about the food.
"Big brother, we are full. Thank you for the delicious skewers. We are going to play now."
After politely thanking him again, the children ran out of Zhang Shuguang's house.
Cao Qiangjun followed him to the gate of the courtyard and silently locked it.
"Little Fatty, why are you locking the door in broad daylight?"
Zhang Panpan asked curiously.
"Brother Xiaoguang's barbecued skewers are so delicious. I'm afraid there will be more people coming. With Brother Xiaoguang's generous personality, I'm afraid we won't even get a turn for the second batch."
The little fat boy is indeed a foodie. He is very cunning when it comes to food.
The children were deeply impressed and gave Cao Qiangjun a thumbs up.
"Xiao Guang, why did you lock the door again?"
The three regiment commanders came back from the military camp together. Because Zhang Xiangnan's yard was facing the main road, they cried in front of Zhang Xiangnan's house first.
"Old Zheng, I think Xiaoguang is a very brave boy. Your daughter is not in his house, is she?
I can smell the aroma of barbecue from a long distance away. This guy must be trying to coax your daughter with delicious food."
Lei Zhensheng was born with a loud voice. Although he had deliberately lowered his voice, the people in the yard could still hear him clearly.
"Old Zhang, why don't you knock on the door? Would it be convenient for me to come to your house for a cup of tea?"
Even through the courtyard wall, Zhang Shuguang could feel that Zheng Zheng's voice was squeezed out from between his teeth.
This is the legendary gnashing of teeth! Zhang Shuguang didn't dare to delay and quickly opened the gate.
"Dad, you two uncles, are you back? We killed two red muntjacs today. I've already told you two aunts that we'll have dinner together tonight.
The two gentlemen have arrived just in time. There's no need to go back. I guess Commander Cao and Grandma Zhao should be here soon."
Zhang Shuguang made way and let the three regiment commanders come in with their guards.
"My brothers and sisters are hungry, so Yushan and I grilled some skewers for them."
Zhang Shuguang quickly explained to Zheng Zheng that he was not alone with his daughter, and his younger brothers and sisters were always there.
"You beat the red muntjac, you didn't steal it, so why did you lock the gate?"
When Zheng Zheng saw that his daughter was indeed here, his defense broke down.
It was obvious that Zheng Zheng would not let it go unless Zhang Shuguang gave a reasonable explanation.
"Uncle Zheng, I swear to God, I really didn't lock the gate. Qiangjun, you locked the door, you come and explain for me."
Zhang Shuguang could see that Zheng Zheng, the old man, was really treating him as a weakling.
"Uncle Zheng, our skewers were just grilled, and a few kids around our age were lying at the gate, drooling. So we gave them all the skewers from the first batch.
I was afraid that someone else would come and I wouldn’t be able to eat the second batch, so I locked the gate.
Uncle Zheng, have I violated any regulations?
Looking at Zheng Zheng's gloomy expression and Brother Xiaoguang's anxious look, the little fat boy was scared.
He had heard from his grandparents that the army had many rules and very strict discipline, but he had only locked the gate. Could it be that the army’s living quarters were not allowed to lock the doors during the day?
The little fat boy was unsure, and his chubby face wrinkled like a bitter chrysanthemum.
He didn't mean it. He doesn't know if his mother will make him stand in the corner as punishment this time.
"No, it's not against the regulations. I'm just curious why the door is locked in broad daylight."
Seeing that he almost scared the old leader's fat grandson to tears, Zheng Zheng quickly put on a gentle and kind smile.
"Hehehe~~"
Zheng Yushan couldn't help but giggle as she watched her father changing his face like in Sichuan Opera.
