"Aye hehehe, smells so good, hehehe..."

Wang Jingze held 10 skewers in his left hand and 10 skewers in his right hand, nibbling from left to right, enjoying himself immensely.

Lamb, cumin, chili powder, and sesame were smeared all over his mouth.

His mouth was stuffed full of meat, chewing quickly like a hamster.

"So delicious, so tasty! Big sis, second sis, third sis, you should eat too, don't be shy."

While Wang Jingze was eating, he invited them to join in, but in reality, Wang Jiayue and the others didn't need any encouragement. Although they were girls, their eating style was no better than Wang Jingze's.

They transformed into hamsters, with meat bulging their cheeks into two round buns.

Wang Jingze felt as if he was about to float away in happiness at that moment.

The meat was so tender and juicy, taking a bite left its delightful flavor lingering.

"Munch, munch... the meat is so tender, too delicious."

"The flavor is great too, munch."

"Wow, can't stop eating!"

"Big sis, give me a few more skewers, I've finished mine."

Greedily, Wang Jingze used his tongue to strip the last piece of meat from the skewer, then turned to Wang Jiayue.

Wang Jiayue was chewing quickly with her cheeks puffed up, and she too only had empty skewers left.

"No... No more... munch... all gone..."

Wang Jingze had no choice but to turn to second and third sis. The two sensed his gaze and hurriedly shoved the last few skewers into their mouths, choking but too reluctant to spit them out.

The three sisters struggled to swallow the lamb in their mouths, then stared at Wang Jingze, both wide-eyed.

Ah, this...

"Hey, little brother, didn't we agree we'd each eat just five skewers? Now each of us ate 25 skewers and finished this batch, what do we do?"

Wang Jingze scratched his head and said sheepishly, "But I couldn't resist, it's just too good, even better than braised sea cucumber! The aroma befuddled me."

Just then, Wang Fan came out with freshly grilled skewers, seeing the four siblings still at the door, smiled, and said, "Are you taking this tray as well?"

Wang Jingze's eyes lit up, and he grabbed the tray, "We got it, we got it, big bro, keep grilling."

Wang Fan handed him the tray and turned back into the shop.

The four siblings stared at the newly grilled 100 skewers again.

"Wouldn't it be bad if we ate another tray?"

"But what should I do when I really want to eat?"

"I'm so hungry, big sis, I feel like my stomach is a bottomless pit."

"We've already eaten one tray, so why not another?"

The three sisters turned their gaze to Wang Jingze again, who pounded his chest, "I'll eat it, all mine."

...

"Why aren't they back yet? Go check on them and urge Little Boss Wang, why hasn't the meat come up yet?"

With the kids not back and the meat not served, Wang Zhi was a bit irritated, the drinks had been poured for ages without meat, can business still go on? Isn't it a minute or two to grill?

Chu Yun nodded and went out.

The kids were easy to spot, the four of them huddled in a circle squatting there, doing who knows what.

Curiously, she walked over and asked, "What are you four squatting for?"

"Uh-oh, we've been found!"

The four siblings heard their mom's voice and were startled, quickly stood up, and very instinctively lined up, hiding the tray behind them.

"N-nothing, hehehe."

Big sister Wang Jiayue said, her face full of tension.

Chu Yun looked at Wang Jiayue suspiciously, then swept her gaze over the others.

"What are you hiding behind you?"

The four instantly squeezed together, speaking in unison, "Nothing!"

Chu Yun became angry, "Nothing? Think I'm a fool? You didn't even wipe your mouths! How many times have I taught you? Have manners, understand respect and hierarchy. Hiding here to eat secretly, all my education gone to waste, huh? Come, follow me inside!"

Saying so, she stormed back into the shop, the four siblings glanced at each other, and followed inside like a bunch of wilted eggplants.

Seeing Chu Yun return angrily, the old man asked curiously, "What's going on here?"

Chu Yun pointed outside at the kids, "It's them, I wondered why they hadn't come in for so long, turns out hiding outside to eat secretly. When I went out just now, they'd eaten all the skewers!"

Wang Zhi's square face dropped immediately, glaring at the four siblings, "Who started eating first?"

The three sisters moved in perfect synchrony, all looking at Wang Jingze.

Wang Jingze was straightforward, patting his chest, "I ate it, all mine."

Wang Zhi angrily said, "You alone ate 100 skewers?"

Wang Jingze spat, "Underestimate me, huh? I've eaten 200 skewers already!"

"Hey, you little brat, I'm going to beat you to death!"

Wang Jingze's defiant attitude made Wang Zhi's head ache, and he immediately stood to get the feather duster.

The old man disapprovingly tapped the table, "It's New Year's, what's this about? Can we have a proper meal?"

Wang Zhi argued, "Dad, look at what this kid has done. When I was young and did something like this, you'd beat me directly."

The old man glared at him, "Can you compare to my eldest grandson? If you dare touch him, I'd beat you now!"

Then he smiled and looked at Wang Jingze, "Come, Jingze, tell Grandpa the truth, who started it?"

"Just me, I ate it myself."

The old man said sternly, "If Grandpa finds you're lying, I'll let your dad spank you. That feather duster of his really hurts."

Wang Jingze glanced fearfully at the feather duster but remained very defiant, "Just me. The skewers were too delicious, so tender and juicy, that I ate them all without noticing."

The old man shook his head disappointedly, "Lying is wrong, proceed."

As grandpa, Zhang Feng wanted to intervene, but the old man blocked him first, "No problem, he won't get hurt."

With the feather duster in hand, Wang Zhi, all majestic, walked to the door, readying to move, Wang Jingze's face turned pale yet he still stood there, determined, lips white from biting, not uttering a word.

Suddenly, Wang Jiayue stretched out her arms and stood in front of Wang Jingze, nervously saying, "I started eating, it's not little brother's fault."

Wang Jingze became anxious, "Why're you eating, clearly it was me."

Wang Jiayue gave a large pancake, "Why're you eating, clearly I started, how much can a kid like you eat?"

Turning around, she looked at Wang Zhi and the old man, "If you want to hit, hit me. I started eating."

"Hahaha..."

To Wang Jiayue's surprise, the elders in the room suddenly burst into laughter, Wang Zhi also put away the feather duster and walked back.

The old man clapped and laughed, "Just teasing you, eating some skewers and really going to hit you huh? Does Grandpa look petty? Though Jingze's a bit stubborn, he's quite responsible, and Big Sis knows how to protect little brother, isn't this great?"
