Chapter 87 - Why Is It All Soil?
Poor Director Gu, his wife and children are making themselves a little private kitchen, but he himself has to set an example by eating dinner in the canteen, so what’s left is enough for him to add to his meal.

The old Chen family was eating dinner as well.
Seeing Ma Xiulian serve up a dish of shiny, fragrant, braised fish, all the sons and daughters-in-law of the old Chen family were stunned, "Mom, what’s the special occasion today?"
Zhou Zhaodi, on the contrary, grabbed Chen Erbao’s ear tightly and interrogated fiercely: "You little rascal, did you sneak off to the reservoir on the mountain again to go fishing?"
The reservoir was halfway up the mountain, where there was a chance of encountering dangerous animals. Not only that, but the water was very deep and many people had drowned there before.
Chen Erbao immediately started wailing: "I didn’t go, Mom, take it easy, my ear’s about to come off. Grandma, save me!"
Upon seeing her grandson’s plea for help, Ma Xiulian calmly said, "I don’t know whether Erbao went to the reservoir."
This grandson of hers was very bold. If she didn’t give him a good lesson, she might have to worry about him sneaking off to the reservoir to fish.
