Chapter 167: Picking Strawberries
Chi Xiyou pointed to the half-eaten strawberry between Chi Xinru’s fingers and said, "You have eaten the strawberries. Are you still doubting whether we can grow them indoors or not?"
Before Chi Xinru could answer the question, Chi Junheng heard Duan Yixin’s footsteps approaching. He turned to look at the door and saw her coming.
Duan Yixin placed the umbrella against the wall and shook off the water on her raincoat. When she walked into the wooden building, Chi Junheng said, "You are here, Xin Xin."
She nodded and said with a smile, "Good morning, Uncle Chi. Aunt Wang said breakfast will be ready soon."
After she said this, Chi Xiyou touched his belly and said, "Great. I’m so hungry that I can eat a whole chicken."
As soon as he said this, Chi Xinru said as she swallowed the remaining strawberries, "I suspect you don’t have a stomach but a bottomless pit."
Chi Xiyou looked at his younger sister and said, "Of course you are not hungry. Do you know how many strawberries you have eaten since we came here?"
Hearing this, Chi Xinru’s hand, which was about to pick strawberries, paused. She coughed in embarrassment, turned to look at Duan Yixin, and said, "We shouldn’t let Mother wait for us."
Chi Xiyou rolled his eyes when he saw his younger sister put on her straw raincoat and left in a hurry. After Chi Xinru left, Chi Junheng looked at his son and Duan Yixin and said, "Return when you are done here."
