Zhang Shuguang first unloaded the sun bear, pheasant and rabbit, then went into the kitchen to get a set of knives, and was about to walk out leading the cow.
"Xiao Guang, bring a strong rope and tie up the buffalo's four legs to prevent it from attacking.
Bring a sniper rifle, shoot from a distance, and kill first and then open the chest."
Zhang Xiangnan quickly called his son, fearing that he would get hurt due to carelessness.
"Dad, don't bother with that. Killing a bull is much easier than taming a wild buffalo."
Zhang Shuguang waved his hand nonchalantly and walked out of the house leading the cow.
"This kid, you're going to kill him, will he still be polite to you?"
Zhang Xiangnan hurried back to the house to get his gun and chased after him with big strides.
Li Lixin originally wanted to go with them, but was stopped by Zhang Xiangnan, who asked him and Hu Jianpeng to send the Malayan bear to the kitchen to be cleaned up.
Because he was leading the bison, Zhang Shuguang couldn't walk fast and was caught up by Zhang Xiangnan as soon as he walked out of the alley.
"Kid, don't you understand that safety comes first?
Don't be careless just because you are good at fighting. It is better to be safe than sorry.
The bison's brute strength is incredible; never underestimate its death throes."
When he first joined the army, Zhang Xiangnan quickly stood out because of his courage and fighting spirit.
Later, when he was promoted to lead troops, Zhang Xiangnan became more and more cautious.
He knew that a rash decision would likely result in the bloodshed and sacrifice of his brothers.
"Okay, I understand."
Knowing that his father meant well and was concerned about his safety, Zhang Shuguang humbly accepted it.
"The buffalo, the buffalo is coming again!"
Seeing Zhang Shuguang leading the cow out, the children, who were already reluctant to leave, gathered around him again.
"Keep away, kids. Don't scare the buffalo."
Zhang Xiangnan's face changed drastically. He quickly stepped forward and opened his arms to stop the children.
"Uncle Zhang, you're lying. A bison this big shouldn't be that timid!"
Zhang Xiangnan stopped them from getting close, which made the children very anxious.
"You bunch of monkeys, I think you are braver than a buffalo.
Is Captain Zhang afraid that you might scare the buffalo? He's afraid that you might get kicked to death by the buffalo.
"Everyone, step back and just watch from a distance."
Several military dependents not far away also hurried over and held their children.
"Captain Zhang, are you going to kill a cow?"
Li Fenglian's lover is You Xiaogang, the commander of the Second Brigade Artillery Regiment, nicknamed You Dapao, who serves in the same brigade as Zhang Xiangnan.
Because You Dapao was stationed at the artillery position all year round, he did not have close contacts with the other three regimental commanders.
"Yes, sister-in-law. By the way, my son is getting engaged to the daughter of a regimental commander tomorrow. I'll take the children over to the wedding to celebrate the occasion."
Zhang Xiangnan took the opportunity to invite You Dapao's family.
"Captain Zhang, Old You isn't home. Is it appropriate for us to go?"
Li Fenglian was a little hesitant.
Engagement parties were not common in the military during that era and were definitely considered a novelty.
Free love was still a minority in this era, and most soldiers met their partners in their hometowns when they went home to visit their families.
If both parties are attracted to each other, they can wait until the home visit leave is over, return to the army to report the marriage, and after political review, they can get a marriage certificate.
If you are dating someone in the military, you don't need to go through the political review process because you have already gone through it when you joined the army.
Just file a marriage report and you can live together.
Cases like Zhang Shuguang's are indeed rare, and not everyone can achieve the freedom to eat meat.
"What's inappropriate about that? I've already called Lao You, and he should be back this evening."
His son is getting engaged, and the old leader has invited him. The brigade commander and the political commissar have also been informed. The second regiment commander lives between him and the first regiment commander, so there must be someone else too. There is no reason to leave out You Dapao alone, as that would be too detrimental to unity.
"Old You is coming back? Then I'll go home and cook. We'll definitely go tomorrow."
Li Fenglian turned around and left, her steps incredibly brisk.
"Sisters, look at how anxious Sister Fengxia is. She didn't even bother to get a stool."
"A short absence is like a new marriage. Captain You has been gone for more than half a month. How can my sister-in-law miss him?"
"Qiaoling, you and Fengxia are neighbors. If you hear anything tonight, you must tell us tomorrow!"
"I'm not telling you. Your men are by your side, and you can eat meat every day. Don't you know this?"
…
A group of old ladies gathered together and talked excitedly, and dared to say anything.
Zhang Xiangnan and his son Zhang Shuguang had calm expressions, but their pace quickened considerably.
"Dad, the leader's lover is no different from the aunties in our village!"
After leaving the crowd, Zhang Shuguang whispered.
"Most soldiers come from farming families, so they might be more straightforward in their words."
Zhang Xiangnan glanced at his eldest son, with an unconcealable smile in his eyes.
My eldest son is talented in both literature and martial arts, but he is too thin-skinned.
Even though I'm about to get engaged, I still feel shy when I hear some dirty talk.
When the father and son passed through the gate, the guards were very polite to them and once again expressed their gratitude to Zhang Shuguang for his generosity.
The guards are all strong men. After eating other people's food, they will remember their kindness.
Zhang Xiangnan responded enthusiastically to the guard at the door. For a father, praising his son once makes him happier than praising him ten times.
"My son is amazing. He is popular wherever he goes."
Zhang Xiangnan was filled with pride.
