A stunning mermaid dressed in the 1980s, the whole family lined up to pamper her endlessly.

Chapter 113 Roasted chestnuts with sugar
After getting rid of the uninvited guest, Grandma Shen immediately felt that the air was much fresher.

The onlookers left when they saw there was no more excitement to see, but it wouldn't be long before the news spread throughout the whole village.

Suddenly, Grandma Shen remembered something: "Everyone, hurry up and take a bath, wash your hair and change your clothes, so you don't catch fleas, those things are awful."

The family immediately got busy again.

When Shen Yunlian washed Yun Jiao's hair, she made a special effort to look for fleas, and thankfully found none.

But Grandma Shen was indeed infected; two dead hairs were found in her hair.

Her face was very pale: "I knew I shouldn't have grabbed her hair with my hands. How long has it been since that girl washed her hair?!"

Aunt Shen: "Quickly, let me see it too."

She grabbed their hair too; there's no way around it, women usually fight by grabbing hair and scratching faces.

Because of those people, they ate their meals a little later.

Grandma Shen stir-fried chicken giblets today.

The fragrant, spicy and sour chicken giblets are so delicious, they make your mouth water just by smelling them.

Yun Jiao stood guard in front of the stove and was given a lot of food by the special cook.

Her eyes were squinted with contentment, and her happiness was clearly visible.

It was another sumptuous meal, and after everyone finished eating, they sat in the courtyard chatting with their bellies full.

"Daughter, tomorrow morning you and your son-in-law should take the meat back. We only have one last piece of corn left to harvest, and we can finish harvesting it in less than a day."

Shen Yunlian: "No rush, let's take the last piece of land first."

"No, it's hot today. The meat will easily go bad if left out for too long. If it weren't so late, I would have taken the meat back with you. Listen to me, you take the meat back first thing tomorrow morning. We also need to make the rest of the meat into smoked meat so it won't spoil."

Shen Yunlian thought about it for a moment, but fearing that the meat would be wasted, she nodded in agreement.

Yun Jiao tugged at Uncle Shen's clothes: "Uncle, candied chestnuts."

Shen Nian slapped his forehead: "Oh right, I was so busy I forgot about that."

He picked Yun Jiao up and hoisted her onto his shoulders: "Come on, Uncle will go roast some chestnuts for you."

Yun Jiao's gaze immediately rose, her eyes shining brightly with joy.

Seeing this, Yun Xiaowu also clamored to ride a big horse.

Uncle Shen: "Get out of here! Are you trying to crush me with your huge body? What, you have a problem with your uncle?"

Yun Xiaowu was kicked and ran away.

Before roasting chestnuts, you need to make two slits in them, otherwise they will explode when heated.

Due to limited resources, the chestnuts roasted by Uncle Shen had a slightly blackened outer shell, but they were still delicious once peeled, just not very sweet.

After all, sugar is precious.

But the chestnuts are soft and chewy with a slightly grainy texture, and their sweetness makes them very delicious.

"I didn't cook much today. It's hard to digest dinner if we're already full. We can take the leftovers home and cook them ourselves."

Yun Jiao, who was happily eating chestnuts with her mouth full, nodded upon hearing this, "Mmm."

When she got home, she would not only pester her father to roast chestnuts, but also to make candied hawthorns.

"Meow~"

As Yun Jiao lay on the recliner, fanning herself with a palm-leaf fan, the tabby cat climbed over the wall and came in.

She patted her thigh.

"Mimi, come here."

Cihuamao:…………

"Boss, we're here."

The tabby cat then jumped into her arms with its tail wagging.

"It's huge."

Holding the tabby cat, Yun Jiao scratched its chin with her finger: "Luckily I'm strong, otherwise I wouldn't be able to lift you."

She was probably too comfortable, because she yawned and gradually fell asleep.

In the night, the exquisitely beautiful little girl wore only a white tank top and shorts. Her chubby arms and legs, with their fair and delicate skin, seemed to radiate a soft glow under the moonlight.

It looks clean and soft at first glance, like a chubby fluffy ball.

The tabby cat didn't lie on top of her; instead, it stretched and snuggled up next to her on the recliner, its tail covering her belly as it fell asleep. Just a few minutes after closing its eyes, the tabby cat's ears twitched, and it opened its eyes, its bright green pupils staring at the person who had entered.

Yun Chendong glanced at the tabby cat: "I'll carry her to bed."

He didn't know why he was explaining things to a cat, but he felt that the cat was quite intelligent.

However, many of the animals around Jiaojiao are intelligent and perceptive.

Asleep, Yun Jiao looked soft and cuddly.

Yun Chendong is usually steady and composed, and is the least cheerful and most reserved person in the family.

At this moment, looking at his sleeping sister, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

Although his younger sister is a bit more lively, stronger, and occasionally mischievous, she is really well-behaved, and being near her always makes one's heart soften and want to protect her.

Yun Chendong gently and carefully picked up the little one.

Yun Jiao frowned slightly, showing signs of waking up.

But he only slightly lifted his eyelids, and his nostrils flared slightly as if he were smelling something.

"Big brother."

Even though she couldn't see clearly who was holding her, she recognized them by their scent. Still half-asleep, she mumbled "Big Brother."

The little girl's voice was already lovely, and when she called him "big brother," it sounded even more sweet and gentle.

Yun Chendong hugged her tighter and patted her back gently with his hand.

"Go to sleep."

She skillfully lulled the soft little one in her arms to sleep.

"Asleep? Let me see."

Yun Chenxi came over and circled around his older brother, wanting to hug him too.

After the autumn harvest, the two of them will leave, and they won't be able to come back for at least two or three years.

Yun Chendong dodged him: "Don't wake him up."

As he spoke, he walked into the house.

Yun Chenxi followed behind unwillingly.

"I won't wake her, just let me hug her!"

The tabby cat stretched and jumped onto the wall to continue sleeping.

The next morning, Grandma Shen's house was bustling with activity.

When storing pork, grain is also essential.

"Take this old rice back, and don't give us any more money this time. We're about to harvest new rice. Take this rice back for Jiaojiao. She and Xiao Jiu are still young, and they need to eat more rice to grow up."

"And these bamboo fungus, dry them all and take them all back."

In no time at all, both baskets were filled to the brim.

"That's enough, that's enough..."

Shen Yunlian and Yun Linhai kept saying they'd had enough.

Without saying a word, Grandpa Shen took out a very delicate little monkey woven from fine bamboo strips from his room.

"Jiaojiao, this one is Jiaojiao's."

His dark hands, rough with skin, were used to weave exquisitely crafted little toys for his granddaughter.

Yun Jiao held the little monkey woven from bamboo strips, her eyes full of affection.

"It looks good. Grandpa is so kind. Jiaojiao likes it."

She opened her little arms and hugged Grandpa Shen.

Shen Waigong was usually not good with words, but his love for Yun Jiao was no less.

Grandpa Shen held Yun Jiao in his arms, smiling like a contented big child.

When it was time to leave, both sides were extremely reluctant to part.

Grandpa and Grandma Shen accompanied the person for a long distance.

Yun Jiao was being held by her older brother, and every time she turned around, she could see people still standing there waving at them, reluctant to leave.
