Transmigration: From Dragon Princess To Pampered Granddaughter

20: Chapter 20: Heaven Sends Food 20: Chapter 20: Heaven Sends Food Actually, the mosquitoes sensed the Dragon’s Prestige on Helian Qiao from a distance and didn’t dare approach the Chen Family’s house.

Not only were there no mosquitoes in the old Chen’s house now, but even roaches, crickets, ants, and other insects were nowhere to be found.

However, these creatures went unnoticed, so the people of the old Chen family didn’t realize it.

After sitting for a while, Ma Xiulian took her granddaughter to wash her face and body.

She liked her beloved Guibao to be clean.

Whenever she placed the wet cotton cloth on the baby’s face, the baby would happily squint her big eyes, appearing as lovely as a crescent moon.

Hylian Qiao, after having had her small body wiped clean, used her babyish voice to make soft noises, indicating she wanted to go into the water.

She waved her small arms and kicked her legs with all her might.

Ma Xiulian, mistaking this for joy after bathing, chuckled and dressed her.

“Does Guibao enjoy being all clean and fresh like this?” she asked.

Helian Qiao replied loudly with a “Ah”, indicating her agreement and refusing to have clothes put on her.

Instead, she wanted to be put in the water.

As a dragon, she belonged to the Aquatic Clan and loved water the most.

However, her grandmother couldn’t understand baby talk and instead cooed, “In a few months, let your uncle make a small wooden tub for you to soak.”

Hearing this, Helian Qiao sighed: Ah, still a few more months to go!

Ma Xiulian was amused by the small, worried expression on her granddaughter’s face and chuckled, peppering her with several kisses.

HeLian Qiao calmly allowed her grandmother to kiss her cheeks.

She was used to such displays of affection from her father and mother, after all, and it didn’t hurt.

Only that annoying big, bad dragon ever pinched her face, and she couldn’t fight back!

So annoying!!

After Ma Xiulian returned to the house with her granddaughter, she asked Chen in a hushed voice, “Old man, tomorrow go and ask around who is willing to barter chicken for grain.”

Chen was taken aback and also lowered his voice to ask, “What do we want a chicken for?”

Private sales were not allowed in those days, but country folks could exchange their own grain.

Ma Xiulian explained, “We should trade for a hen to help nourish our eldest daughter-in-law.

Her milk won’t be enough to feed two children.”

If they were just two normal kids, Zhao Mei’s supply of eggs and fine grains should have been enough, but her beloved Guibao had a big appetite.

Currently, Ma Xiulian felt a bit sorry for Li Chunhua having to eat those meager rations.

When Helian Qiao heard she would be going hungry again, she furrowed her little brows in displeasure.

She, the Little Princess of the mighty Golden Dragon Clan, had actually fallen so low that she couldn’t even get enough to eat!

All of this was that big, bad dragon’s fault!!

The more Helian Qiao thought about it, the angrier she got, and her Dragon’s Prestige started to surge out.

Then, the next moment, Ma Xiulian and Chen Dazhu heard a few “THUD!

THUD!

THUD!” sounds as something kept falling on their roof.

The old couple, afraid that the tiles might break, quickly got up and went outside; upon opening the door, they saw two pigeons dead under the eaves of their house.

After Ma Xiulian had paused for a moment, she laughed, “We don’t have to worry now, the heavens have sent food for our Guibao.”

Then, picking up the two pigeons, she cheerfully said to Chen, “Old man, quickly go get the rest from the roof.”

Just by listening to the sounds, it was clear that there were quite a few more pigeons left.

At this moment, their eldest son, Chen Jianguo, who had also heard the noise, came out.

Seeing the pigeons in his mother’s hand, he asked in surprise, “Mom, where did you shoot these pigeons from?”

It was the middle of the night; she couldn’t possibly have gone to the mountain to shoot birds.

Ma Xiulian just laughed and said, “The pigeons fell from the sky by themselves.

Nevermind, it’s hard to explain.

Just go with your father to the roof.”

So Chen Jianguo went with his dazed face to the roof with his father, then he became even more confused: There…

are so many pigeons!
