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

Chapter 115

In conclusion: "In short, this is a very unique tabby cat. Not only does it want to be Jiaojiao's boss and feed her, but it also doesn't allow anyone else to raise it and only wants to be close to Jiaojiao."

Yun Xiaojiu said proudly, "Our Jiaojiao is different. She's not only loved by people, but also by animals."

The whole family agreed with this.

"That's true. Our Jiaojiao is beautiful, cute, has a good personality, and is very capable. Who wouldn't like her? Those who don't are just blind."

Even within the family, they seem to have endless things to say when talking about Yun Jiao; the whole family is obsessed with Yun Jiao.

Yun Jiao: I'm used to it.

She had no idea what shyness was and naturally accepted the praise and compliments from her family.

That's right, she is such a powerful and popular little mermaid.

There are relatively few methods for preserving meat nowadays. One method is to dry it, but this is more suitable for fish, as dried fish can be preserved for a long time.

Or you can make it into smoked meat.

Although the smoked meat wasn't fresh, its unique flavor was still quite popular.

Today, the men in the family went out to work, while the women stayed behind to process the pork.

Cut the meat into strips about the width of a palm, hang them up with thin palm leaves, and marinate them briefly with some local spices.

Grandpa Yun took Yun Xiaowu and Yun Xiaoliu to the mountains to find cypress trees, as the branches of this tree are basically used to smoke the meat here.

Fresh white oak branches produce a lot of smoke when burned, carrying a unique aroma.

The smoke from their smoked meat got so loud that it couldn't be hidden anymore, and before long, the neighbors who lived nearby strolled over.

What are you doing?

Grandma Yun smiled and said, "Oh dear, the children went to the eldest son's wife's house to help harvest corn. They encountered a few wild boars in their village, and my in-laws were lucky enough to kill one. They brought back some wild boar meat, and since we can't finish it all at once, we've made it into cured meat. We also have some fish at home, so we've made that into cured meat too."

She didn't say it was Yun Jiao who hunted the wild boar. Whether others would believe her or not, it would just cause her granddaughter a lot of trouble asking all sorts of questions.

"A wild boar."

The neighbor's eyes and tone immediately showed envy.

Hearing that they still couldn't finish it, how much must they have brought back?

When I went into the yard, I saw several pieces of meat hanging on the rack.

Even more envious.

Soon, a large crowd gathered outside their house, and Grandma Yun patiently explained the situation to them.

"Your in-laws are so kind. I wish I had met such generous in-laws."

"Wild boar meat? I've never eaten it before."

"Are you selling this wild boar meat?"

Grandma Yun quickly waved her hands: "No, no, we won't sell. You all know how many mouths we have to feed in our village. How long can this little bit of meat feed our family?"

"How can we eat meat every day..."

The people living in the fishing village have an insatiable craving for pork.

Unfortunately, Grandma Yun refused to sell it no matter what.

Wang Mei and her husband, along with their children, didn't return from Yunlin River until 10 PM.

As soon as I got back, I saw thick white smoke rising from the house.

There were also people sitting in front of their houses chatting and catching up on their internet.

What's going on? Why did you move the chat room to your own home?
And what's with that white smoke?

"Lin He is back. Your family is smoking cured meat."

"What did you bring back? Did you bring back wild boar meat too?"

Having received the wild boar meat brought back by Yunlin Hai, they were now very curious about what was in Wang Mei's basket in Yunlin River.

Before Yunlinhe could react, someone suddenly darted behind him and lifted the contents of his basket.

Yun Linhe and his wife's faces immediately darkened.

It's you again, Cai Jinhua!
Wang Mei pushed the person away directly: "What are you doing?"

Cai Jinhua exclaimed, "Oh dear! I just wanted to see what you brought back. You're so stingy!"

“You guys are no good. You’ve only brought back cheap stuff. Your older brother’s family brought back so much wild boar meat.”

Although Yun Linhe and Wang Mei didn't quite understand, they were really annoyed by Cai Jinhua.

Wang Mei put her hands on her hips and said, "What business is it of yours what we bring back? At least my parents gave us some, unlike you, who goes back to your parents' home and brings nothing back." Cai Jinhua retorted, "That's because my mother gave me money, that's why she wouldn't give me these cheap things."

Wang Mei rolled her eyes and ignored her, thinking it was a waste of time.

They quickly returned home.

They were stunned when they saw the rows of smoked meat in the yard.

"Mom, what's going on?"

Grandma Yun was busy with something, and when she saw them, she simply greeted them calmly.

"He's back."

"You all go about your business."

There are too many people around right now, so it's not convenient to talk to anyone.

Yun Jiao brought out a tabby cat, along with the chicks and ducklings from her home.

"Grandma, our chicks have hatched!"

She saw the old hen in the chicken coop with a tiny yellow fluffy ball of fur.

There were also a few chicks with dark brown stripes; those were probably pheasants.

"Uncle, Aunt, you're back!"

Yunlinhe immediately picked the person up.

"I miss my uncle so much."

Yun Jiao hugged them: "I miss my uncle and aunt too."

Yun Chennan walked over, his eyes half-closed.

"Jiaojiao, look what your third brother brought you."

He had a few candies in his hand.

Yun Jiao smiled and said, "Thank you, Third Brother."

After hugging her uncle's family whom she hadn't seen for a few days, Yun Jiao continued to ask Grandma Yun about the chicks.

"Yes, some chicks hatched the day before yesterday, and almost all of them are out today."

"It's so small."

Especially when compared to the ones I keep myself.

She raises chickens, ducks, and geese together, but Yun Jiao raises them well and they all grow to adulthood.

Some of them are already molting.

"Grandma, I'm taking them out to find food."

There's nothing to do at home.

Yun Jiao took her tabby cat and her chicks with her and left the house.

It's no exaggeration to say that when I walked out the door, all the people at the door were looking at me.

Yun Jiao was confident and poised, head held high. Let her look if she wanted; she had nothing to hide.

"Jiaojiao has taken the chicks out to find food again."

Yun Jiao nodded: "Yes, you need to eat well to grow big."

"Oh, what a good girl."

Cai Jinhua leaned closer and said, "Yunjiao, here's a dime for you. Can you ask your grandma to sell me a piece of pork?"

Yun Jiao glanced at her with disdain.

What's a penny? She has plenty!
I forgot to give my grandparents a share of the money.

She counted on her fingers and realized that after everyone had finished dividing the money, she didn't seem to have much left.

Oh well, I can save up a lot of money later!

"Jiaojiao, wait for me, I'll go with you."

Yun Xiaojiu ran out.

The brother and sister walked hand in hand, with the tabby cat calmly following beside them, its little tail trailing behind.

Yun Xiaowu looked at him with resentment: "Why do I have to stay here guarding the meat? I want to be with Jiaojiao too. These past two days, I haven't been the closest brother to her."
