Chapter 94: Chapter 94: Short of Reach

The thoughts of the oily braised fish and wild boar meat instantly made her unsatisfied.

But she was really hungry. This bit of roasted sweet potato and sweet potato cake wasn’t nearly enough.

With red eyes and a pitiful look, she looked at Zhao Mei and said, "Mum, I’m still hungry."

Zhao Mei hugged her with a heartache, whispering, "Go to sleep, you won’t be hungry when you fall asleep. I’ll go get a towel to wipe your face."

After she left, Dani tried to comfort her sister, "Erni, Mum is right. We have eaten a lot of Guibao’s stuff. You should stop being jealous of her."

Erni immediately retorted, "Her stuff was all bought by our mum! We’re all her grandchildren, why can’t we eat it?!"

Dani continued gently, "Guibao also catches wild birds, wild rabbits, and even snakes to bring back."

Erni then questioned unhappily, "Sister, why are you always defending her?! Is she your real sister or am I?"

Dani furrowed her eyebrows slightly, "Both of you are−"

Before she could finish, Erni covered her ears and closed her eyes, shaking her head crazily, "I’m not listening! I’m not listening! I’m not listening!"

So Dani could only helplessly say, "Then, I won’t talk anymore."

She thought that as Erni usually behaved, it was because she didn’t get to eat the braised fish and wild boar meat that her mood was so intense today. She believed Erni would get over it after a while.

Zhao Mei and Chen Jianguo were of the same thought, so they didn’t specifically try to soothe and guide her.

Well, kids are naturally jealous. They too were jealous of their siblings when they were young.

When the freshly bathed Little Princess passed by Uncle’s room, her keen little nose quickly detected a hint of fragrance coming from inside.

Therefore, she held her little head high and said softly to her grandmother, "Granny, I also want to eat roasted sweet potatoes tomorrow."

Ma Xiulian glanced at the tightly closed door and replied quietly, "Okay, Granny will put some sweet potatoes on the stove for you tomorrow morning."

The next morning, Ma Xiulian warmed up the buns and shared half with her grandsons, leaving the rest in her granddaughter’s bowl.

The three brothers, Dabao, all ate unconcerned with burning their mouths as they voraciously bit into the buns.

Helian Qiao shook her small head, cooing, "I won’t eat, Grandpa and Grandma eat."

She had already eaten a big bun yesterday.

Ma Xiulian used her usual excuse with a smile, "Grandma and Grandpa don’t have good teeth, can’t chew it."

"Can chew." The Little Princess blinked her big eyes and said seriously, "The bun has a soft filling with meat inside, it’s very delicious."

While talking, she divided the bun into two halves, one half in Grandma’s bowl, and the other half in Grandpa’s... but her hand was too short, she couldn’t reach.

Even with the length of the chopsticks, she couldn’t reach.

After a moment of distress, she exclaimed in her baby voice, "Grandpa, your bowl is too far away~"

Then the Chen Family was shocked to see Old Chen grinning, "Grandpa won’t eat, Guibao eat, uh."

Grinning from ear to ear, revealing a mouthful of big yellow teeth, you could clearly see the elation on his face.

The three brothers from the Chen family were the most shocked, because they couldn’t remember the last time their father laughed like this.

Helian Qiao pouted her small rosy lips and said, "No! Grandpa has to eat! I can’t hold it any longer!"

Although her small hand was chubby and strong, her little bones were still soft.

Zhou Zhaodi then advised, "Dad, Mom, Guibao also has a heart of filial piety. You should eat this bun. Plus, there’s so much meat on this table."
