Chapter 232: Chapter 233 A Monkey’s Gratitude4

Almost the whole family helped out when moving the grain.

Bags upon bags of grain were stacked in the granary, arranged neatly like walls of a house.

Only after the granary door was locked, and the key securely placed in the pocket, did the Chen family find peace of mind.

Food is people’s paramount necessity, and as long as there’s food to eat, life can go on.

Yesterday they had gotten so much wolf meat, and today they were also sharing sizeable amounts of grain. Everyone was cheerful and smiling.

Even if they hadn’t slept a wink the night before, everyone still looked energetic and radiant now.

As always, Ma Xiulian prepared to steam a pot of rice using the new grains.

Moreover, it was to be steamed dry rice. A single bowl of it was equivalent to many bowls of coarse grain vegetable porridge!

This was a tradition of their old Chen family. Every time when the granary was opened for storing grains, there was always a pot of steamed new rice for everyone to fill their bellies, symbolizing a prosperous year to come!

Ma Xiulian poured a large basin full of rice into the steamer, then sliced off a big chunk of wolf meat, preparing to cut it into slices.

However, Helian Qiao, who was bone-tired and trying to catch a view, whimpered: "Granny, I want big pieces of meat."

Eating big chunks just felt more satisfying.

"Sure, Granny will cut big pieces for you."

Ma Xiulian readily agreed, skilfully cutting the wolf’s meat with a kitchen knife.

A short while later, only the skeleton remained.

This had Helian Qiao completely admiring: "Granny is so awesome!"

If it were her, she definitely wouldn’t have had the patience to strip the meat so cleanly.

Observing her granddaughter bustling around the kitchen after her, Ma Xiulian asked gently, "Guibao, are you hungry? If so, go have some canned food first."

Gu Tingyun had gone to the town and wouldn’t be back till evening. Guibao just loved sticking around her at such times.

Helian Qiao shook her little head, whimpered: "I’m not hungry, I want to save my appetite for the wolf meat."

Human bodies were indeed too small, only able to accommodate a small amount of food.

The Little Princess sighed inwardly, then continued to watch Granny make food, eyes gleaming.

At mealtime, Helian Qiao had a white handkerchief tied around her neck. She had given up on using chopsticks, directly using her hands to gnaw on a big piece of wolf meat.

The taste of mouthfuls of meat had Little Princess squinting her eyes in satisfaction, as she loved eating big chunks of meat most.

The new rice had a distinct fragrance, and was exceptionally sweet when eaten.

Taking a full bite, chewing forcefully in the mouth, it was fragrant, sweet and crispy, almost gave the illusion of eating candy.

The stewed wolf meat was also delicious, each bite was full of oil!

A bite of wolf meat, a bite of new rice, both flavours constantly blended on the tongue, making one yearn for a second bowl after finishing the first.

The children were wolfing down their food, their speed not a bit slower than the adults!

After all, the opportunity to eat rice was rare in their daily lives, let alone dry rice.

The men of the house even brought out their treasured sorghum wine.

Although each only had a little at the bottom of their cup, they were still very content to taste the wine.

Li Chunhua on the other hand, only ate a bowl of rice. She did not touch any other dishes and only ate wolf meat.

Having been in postpartum for almost half a month, she had no one to look after her due to the busy farming schedule. It wouldn’t be fair to herself if she didn’t eat some good food now.

Moreover, she had to produce breast milk to feed her son!

With these thoughts, she ate even more intently!

Ma Xiulian glanced at her but said nothing, it was just this one meal that could allow her to indulge, it could also be considered a reward for giving birth to such a chubby son.

In the end, Li Chunhua returned to her room with a full stomach.

She joyfully held her baby son, saying, "Our Jinbao is indeed lucky. Just a few days after his birth his mother got to eat such a good meal. He will be able to live in the city in the future, and eat store-bought food and have meat at every meal!"

Eating rice and meat until her belly was round was something she had never dared to imagine before.

But just a few days after the birth of her younger son, she was able to!

From this, it was clear that her Jinbao was indeed a person of great fortune!
