Transmigration: From Dragon Princess To Pampered Granddaughter-Chapter 34 - The Focus of the Commune
34: Chapter 34: The Focus of the Commune
34 -34: The Focus of the Commune
Upon seeing Grandpa, Helian Qiao ran towards him with her short little legs to show off her spoils of war, “Look at the fat snake I caught, Grandpa!”
Old Chen first thoroughly inspected his granddaughter, ensuring there were no injuries before following her pointed finger to the snake, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
It’s a non-venomous Gray Rat snake.
He then chuckled and complimented, “Our Guibao is truly awesome!”
Helian Qiao stood tall and puffed out her little chest, proudly declaring, “I’m the most awesome one!”
If her pose were overheard by the young dragons of the Red Dragon Clan, who knows how they would mock her brazenness.
The esteemed Dragon Clan, actually feeling proud for merely scaring a little snake, it’s laughable to the point of killing a dragon with laughter!
But here, only her doting Grandpa would indulge her, “Yes, the most awesome one.
Once we go back, I’ll have your grandma make snake soup for you.”
But Helian Qiao shook her head, she specifically designated the chef, “I don’t want snake soup, Grandpa you roast it for me.”
The snake Grandpa roasted last time was so fragrant and delicious.
Old Chen just laughed and agreed, “Alright, alright, Grandpa will roast it for you.
I’ll add some sesame oil and Szechuan peppercorns, and roast it till it’s aromatic.”
Listening to Grandpa’s words, Helian Qiao couldn’t help but salivate.
She swallowed her saliva, eager to say, “Alright then, let’s hurry back home.”
“Alright, do you want Grandpa to carry you back home?”
Knowing she would walk too slowly, Helian Qiao stretched out her little arms to Grandpa, “Yes!”

Old Chen picked up his little granddaughter with one hand, carrying the snake in the other, and left without casting a single glance at his other granddaughter, Sanni.
Sanni didn’t mind at all, she was instead energetically cutting pigweeds, eager to finish earlier so she could go back and have roasted snake.

On the way back, Helian Qiao and the snake she caught instantly became the center of attention in the whole commune.
“Oh, this is the snake Guibao caught?
It looks so big.”
“Yes, I caught it!”
“Guibao is quite a character!”
“I’m the most awesome one!”
Conversations like these, Helian Qiao would always gleefully repeat.
← A common trait among Dragon Clan members, being boastful, narcissistic, and loving to show-off.
Listening to this was a source of joy and pride for Old Chen, and it was evident by his normally stern face softening.
There were others who intentionally teased Helian Qiao.
“Guibao, look how large this snake is.
You wouldn’t be able to finish it and it would spoil.
Why not share some with uncle/auntie?”
The food-protective, little princess instantly shook her small head, solemnly rejecting, “No!
There won’t be enough for our family!”
However, her infantile voice was soft and sweet.
Her chubby, rosy cheeks and beautiful face were pleasing to the eye.
So, her attempt at a serious expression only elicited adoration, with no intimidation whatsoever.
Of course, there were also a few who were envious.
Their eyes were glued to the snake in Old Chen’s hands as if they were coated in glue.
If the snake wasn’t caught by baby Helian Qiao, they would definitely have demanded that the Chens surrender it for a communal arrangement!
Typical behavior of those who are jealous because they can’t have it and don’t want others to enjoy it either.
There were also some chatterboxes who gossiped behind their backs.
“Who knows what kind of people the old couple from the Chen family have run into to treat such a drain on resources like a treasure.”
“Exactly.
Old Chen didn’t even hold his golden grandson as much.”
“In my opinion, there will definitely be conflicts in the Chen family in the future, especially Zhou Zhaodi from the second Chen family.
She has two sons!”
…
The moment Grandpa and granddaughter stepped into the house, Ma Xiulian hurriedly returned home.
“Look at the snake I caught, Granny!” Helian Qiao pointed at the snake, showing off again.
