Chapter 244 - 245: Digging a Mouse Hole 6
Chen Jianye scratched his head in confusion: "I have no idea what mom is thinking. Who would ever complain about having too much food? But since dad and mom have spoken, we just have to go along with it."
"Okay." Li Chunhua nodded, looking at her young son dreamily sleeping by the side and smiled joyfully: "This must be another blessing brought by Jinbao."
Chen Jianye emphatically agreed, as these positive strokes of luck had never occurred in succession before Guibao was born!
In the next room, Zhou Zhaodi was also discussing with her husband: "Such an unexpected windfall, it would even awaken me from sleep with laughter."
As she laughed, she started to hum a melody happily,
"Indeed!" Chen Jianye laughed along, "But I just don’t get it, why won’t mom dig out the rest of the mouse holes?"
Although Zhou Zhaodi also felt it was a pity, she trusted mother-in-law’s judgment: "The way mom’s arranged things, she must have her reasons. And we’re not in a rush. I don’t believe the grains will sprout legs and run off, do you?"
Then, suddenly lowering her voice, she said: "Listen, I’m going to go back home tomorrow morning, tell my family about the grains in the mouse holes so they can dig out theirs."
Though her parents hadn’t come to borrow grains for several days, which implied they weren’t starving, their situation clearly wasn’t abundant.
