Volume 2. Chapter 34

"Dinner is ready!" Sasha called, placing down the bowl of rice in the middle of the table where everyone started to gather.

"Mom, potatoes again?" Her youngest daughter Erin, retorted seeing the same dish they had been eating for the past days.

"Erin, be grateful that we even have food to eat during this time." Eric, the oldest son reprimanded the youngest.

"Not for today!" The three turned to their father who entered the dining room carrying something. "I have caught some fish and crabs today!" He happily exclaimed, placing the fish and crabs on the table. The vibrant smell of its steam lingered through the air.

Erin's eyes widened with delight. "Finally!"

Filled with excitement she eagerly reached for the food but before she could do so, her hand was snapped away by her oldest brother. "We are still going to pray first!"

"Oh right," Erin pouted as she rubbed her hand then clasped it together to pray.
