Chapter 34 The Focus of the Commune

As soon as Helian Jiao saw her grandfather, she ran over with her short legs to show off her spoils, "Grandpa, look at the big fat snake I caught!"

Old Chen first examined his granddaughter all over to make sure there were no wounds before looking in the direction she was pointing, and then he was completely relieved.

This is a rat snake, it's not poisonous.

So he happily praised, "Our little darling is so amazing!"

Helian Jiao puffed out her chest and said proudly, "I'm the best!"

If those dragon cubs of the Crimson Dragon Clan heard her acting like this, who knows how they would laugh at her for being shameless.

It's laughable that a dragon would be so smug and self-satisfied just for scaring a little snake!

But here, only her loving grandfather would coax her, saying, "Yes, the best. When we get back, I'll have your grandma make you snake soup."

Helian Jiao shook her head and directly designated the chef: "I don't eat snake soup, Master, roast it for me."

Grandpa's roasted snake last time was so fragrant and delicious.

Old Chen smiled and replied, "Alright, alright, I'll roast it for you, add some sesame oil and Sichuan peppercorns, and roast it until it's fragrant."

Hearing her grandfather's words, Helian Jiao couldn't help but drool.

She swallowed hard and said impatiently, "Okay, okay, let's go home quickly."

"Okay, do you want Grandpa to carry you back?"

Helian Jiao knew she was walking too slowly, so she stretched out her little arms to her grandfather and said, "Yes!"

Old Chen carried his granddaughter in one arm and the snake in the other, and left without ever glancing at his other granddaughter, Sanni.

Sanni didn't mind at all; on the contrary, she was full of energy cutting pig feed so she could finish as soon as possible and go back to eat roasted snake meat.

On the way back, Helian Jiao and the snake she caught immediately became the focus of the entire commune.

"Hey, is this the snake that my little one caught? It looks really big."

"Yes, I caught it!"

"My darling is truly amazing!"

"I'm the best!"

Helian Jiao would repeat these kinds of conversations with great enthusiasm. ←A common trait of the dragon race: arrogance, narcissism, and a love of showing off.

Old Chen was happy and proud to hear this, which was reflected in the fact that his usually stern face was no longer stern.

Some deliberately said things to tease Helian Jiao.

"Sweetie, look how big this snake is, it'll go bad if you can't finish it. How about we share some with your uncle/aunt?"

The food-obsessed little princess immediately shook her head and solemnly refused, "No, there isn't enough food for my family!"

However, her sweet, childlike voice was soft and gentle, and her chubby, pink face was pretty and endearing, so her feigned serious expression had no intimidating power other than cuteness.

Of course, there were also a few envious people who stared intently at the snake meat in Old Chen's hand, their eyes glued to it.

If it weren't for that little baby Helian Jiao catching the snake, they would definitely have made the Chen family hand it over to the authorities!

This is typical of someone who can't have it themselves and won't let others have it either.

There are also some gossipy people who talk behind people's backs.

"I don't know what's wrong with the old couple in the Chen family, they actually dote on this good-for-nothing like a treasure."

"That's right, I've never even seen old man Chen hold his grandson like this before!"

"In my opinion, the Chen family is bound to cause trouble in the future, especially Zhou Zhaodi, the second son's wife. She has two sons!"

...

The grandmother and granddaughter had just stepped into the house when Ma Xiulian hurriedly returned.

"Grandma, look at the snake I caught!" Helian Jiao pointed at the snake again, showing off once more.
