Chapter 20 Heaven Sends Food

Actually, the mosquitoes sensed the dragon's might emanating from Helian Jiao from afar and didn't dare approach the Chen family at all.

Now, not only are there no mosquitoes in Old Chen's house, but even cockroaches, crickets, ants, and other crawling insects have all disappeared.

However, these things were too inconspicuous, so the Chen family did not notice them.

After sitting for a while, Ma Xiulian took her granddaughter to wash her face and body. Her adorable baby was clean and tidy.

As soon as you stick a wet cotton cloth to her face, your little granddaughter will happily squint her big eyes, which look like crescent moons—she's incredibly cute.

After wiping her little body, Helian Jiao called out in her tender little voice, "Grandma, I want to go into the water."

With his little arms swinging and his little legs kicking, he was full of energy.

Ma Xiulian thought she was feeling refreshed and happy, so she smiled and dressed her, saying, "My sweetie, do you really like taking a bath?"

Helian Jiao exclaimed loudly, "Yes, yes, so don't dress her up, just put her in the water!"

Dragons are aquatic creatures, and they love water the most.

But her grandmother couldn't understand baby talk, so she just coaxed her, saying, "In a few months, Grandma will have your uncle make you a little wooden tub just for bathing."

Upon hearing this, Helian Jiao sighed softly: "Alas, it will still be a few months!"

Ma Xiulian was immediately amused by her worried little expression and burst into laughter, hugging her and giving her several kisses.

Helian Jiao calmly let her grandmother kiss her little face. Her father and mother often kissed her too, and the kisses didn't hurt.

Only that annoying big bad dragon keeps pinching her cheeks, and she can't beat him!

I'm so angry!! [○｀Д○]

After carrying her granddaughter back into the house, Ma Xiulian lowered her voice and said to Old Man Chen, "Old man, tomorrow go and ask around to see if anyone is willing to trade chickens for grain."

Old Chen paused for a moment, then lowered his voice and asked, "Why are you changing the chickens?"

Private trade was not allowed at that time, but people in the countryside could exchange their own grain with each other.

Ma Xiulian said, "Let's get a better old hen for the eldest daughter-in-law. Her milk is definitely not enough to feed the two children."

If they were just two ordinary girls, Zhao Mei would have had enough eggs and fine grains every day, but her precious baby had a good appetite.

She felt very sorry for the good food she had given Li Chunhua.

When Helian Jiao heard that she was going to go hungry again, she immediately frowned unhappily.

She, the dignified little princess of the Golden Dragon Clan, has actually fallen to the point where she can't even get enough to eat!

It's all that big bad dragon's fault!!

Helian Jiao grew angrier the more she thought about it, and her dragon aura began to spread outwards.

The next moment, Ma Xiulian and Chen Dazhu heard "thump! thump! thump!" as something fell one after another onto the roof tiles.

The elderly couple, fearing the roof tiles would break, hurriedly stood up and went outside. As soon as they opened the door, they saw two doves lying under the eaves, seemingly oblivious to their fate.

After a moment of stunned silence, Ma Xiulian laughed, "Now we don't have to worry anymore, God has sent food to our precious baby."

Then, picking up two doves, he said happily to Old Man Chen, "Old man, hurry up and go to the roof and pick up the rest."

Just from the sound of dumplings being dropped into boiling water, you can tell there are definitely still quite a few left.

At this moment, Chen Jianguo, the eldest son, who had heard the commotion, also came out. When he saw the dove in his mother's hand, he asked in surprise, "Mom, where did you catch the dove?"

It's the middle of the night, there's no way his mother would go out into the mountains to hunt birds.

Ma Xiulian chuckled and said, "The turtledove fell from the sky by itself. Never mind, I can't explain it to you. You should go up to the roof with your father."

So Chen Jianguo followed his father to the rooftop, completely bewildered, and then became even more confused: So many turtledoves!

Bookworm: Hooray! Our male lead has reappeared!

Demon Lord: Ha!
