Lin Qiao ran out of the room and looked all around, but she didn't see her dad. She estimated the time and decided to head straight for her family's bamboo forest.
She was sure that her father would find time this afternoon to tell her mother about Nuannuan's idea and her offer to lend them money to raise bamboo forest chickens. The matter was too important for their family, and she couldn't afford any complications. She had to get her dad to give her mom a heads-up. 'It would be terrible if Mom doesn't think it through and, worried about saving face for Grandma, changes her attitude toward Nuannuan too.'
As she was lost in thought, she suddenly heard her dad's familiar voice calling her name. She looked up and saw him walking back toward the house, carrying harvested bamboo shoots.
