Chapter 127 Lucky Beads

"grandfather."

As expected, they found Grandpa Fu waiting for them at home.

"Grandpa Fu."

The old man sat upright in his chair and nodded to them.

"Are you leaving now? Wait for me."

Grandpa Fu: "No need to go, I've had Xiao Zhang bring the dog over."

Since Fu Mingyu wanted to get a dog, he naturally had to tell Grandpa Fu in advance and get his permission.

Upon hearing this, Fu Mingyu fell silent.

"Go say goodbye to them, we're about to leave."

Yun Jiao accompanied Fu Mingyu.

Grandma Yun and the others are still busy in the kitchen.

"What? You're leaving already? The food's almost ready, why are you leaving? Let's finish eating together before you go."

Grandma Yun forcefully persuaded them to stay, and she said the same thing to Grandpa Fu outside.

Like Fu Mingyu, Grandpa Fu was not a talkative man, so he couldn't win an argument with Grandma Yun and ended up staying to have the meal before leaving.

Yunlin Hai, Yunlin He, and Yunjiao's brothers carried the oysters back from the boat.

When Grandma Yun saw this, she immediately steamed several of them and quickly prepared the dipping sauce.

Grandpa Yun felt a headache coming on as he looked at the mountain of oysters piled up in the yard.

"Why did you bring so many oysters back? Are you going to eat oysters every day from now on? They're not expensive, but they could be sold for a good price..."

Yun Linhai interrupted his rambling with a single sentence.

"Jiaojiao asked me to stay."

Grandpa Yun: …………

As the Yun family members who had gone out returned one by one, the small courtyard gradually became lively again.

It was stuffy inside, so they simply moved the table outside into the yard. There weren't enough seats at one table, so they split it into two: one for the children and one for the adults.

Both guards were called over.

The dinner table immediately became lively, especially the children's table.

Yun Jiao is telling her brothers about how she caught a whale shark today.

Upon hearing that the fish was even bigger than an orca, Yun Xiaowu and the others, who had seen the orca pod before, all gaped in astonishment.

They were really eager to see what a whale shark, which is even bigger than an orca, looks like.

“Fu Mingyu took the photos. He’ll send us a copy once he’s developed them.”

Yun Xiaowu immediately said to Fu Mingyu, "Then you must remember our address, don't forget it wrong."

The custom of not speaking while eating doesn't exist in the Yun family at all; of course, everyone should talk and chat together at the dinner table to make it lively.

This atmosphere made Grandpa Fu feel much more relaxed.

He looked at his grandson.

Although his face was expressionless and he looked cold and indifferent, Old Master Fu could tell that he was happy; his eyes were brighter than ever before.

Thinking about his home, it's no wonder this kid wants to come here all the time.

It is the Fu family who have wronged this child and his mother.

Fu Mingyu's little dog, which was brought over, is currently howling under the table.

Yun Jiao went home and brought back a chipped earthenware bowl. She put pumpkin chunks, some coarse grains, seafood broth, two pieces of smoked meat, and some fish into it, mixed everything together into a paste, and placed it under the table.

The puppy immediately ran over and started munching away, burying its head almost completely in the food, its little tail wagging happily. It really wasn't picky at all and was very easy to feed.

Fu Mingyu would occasionally sneak a little food into the small, broken bowl under the table.

The puppy had eaten until its belly was round and full, and it stopped barking, lying obediently at Yun Jiao's feet.

Because Yun Jiao often visits them, the puppies are most familiar with Yun Jiao.

When Fu Mingyu was about to put down his rice bowl after finishing his meal, he suddenly remembered what Yun Jiao and the others had said before: the more you eat, the stronger you become, so he insisted on eating another half bowl.

Then he managed to hold on.

I've never eaten so much before. After finishing the meal, Fu Mingyu was really going to leave.

Yun Jiao handed him two pearls, the smaller one; she was reluctant to give him the larger one, as she needed to sell it for money.

"Here you go, to make up for your bad luck."

If they won't let me pay for developing the photos, then I'll give you two small pearls instead.

"Lucky Beads".

Fu Mingyu's hand, which was about to refuse, abruptly stopped.

His dark eyes stared intently at Yun Jiao. How could I refuse if you did this?

"Okay, thank you."

Yun Jiao gave him a bright smile.

Holding the lucky beads, their car was also filled with local specialties given by the enthusiastic Grandma and Grandpa Yun: some oysters, still alive and fresh, some dried fish and shrimp, and even two pieces of wild boar cured meat.

The puppy that Fu Mingyu was holding seemed to realize that it was about to leave the place where it was born, and it whimpered pitifully as it was being held.

But no matter how pitiful they are, they have to leave.

They watched the car drive away from the village and waved goodbye.

I don't know when we'll see each other again.

The departure of Fu Mingyu and the others did not have much impact on the Yun family. At most, they would sigh with pity for Fu Mingyu when they thought of him.

In particular, Yun Jiao and Yun Linhe talked about Fu Mingyu's incredibly bad luck while fishing.

The rest of the Yun family found it unbelievable. No, could someone really be this ruthless?
Yun Linhe: "Why would I lie to you? Let's not even talk about fishing, just look at those oysters. When we shuck oysters, we should be able to find some pearls inside, but that little guy Fu Mingyu didn't find a single pearl."

"What?! What pearl?!"

When he said this, the rest of the Yun family were stunned, their eyes widening in surprise.

Yunlinhe scratched his head: "Jiaojiao, didn't you tell your family?"

Yun Jiao blinked: "No, Father, you didn't say anything?"

Yun Linhai: ...Why are you here again?

"No."

The others asked anxiously, "Stop pushing it around! What pearl? There are pearls inside these oysters?!"

Yun Jiao took out all her pearls and put them on the table for them to see.

"This is it, taken from an oyster."

Yunlinhe: "Hehe, I have one too."

Yunlin Hai also took it out.

Now, the whole family gathered around and examined the pearls carefully.

Yun Chennan couldn't see very clearly. He was nearsighted, so he had to get closer to things and always squinted when looking at them.

Yun Jiao: "Third brother, you should go get some glasses."

Yun Linhai glanced at him and nodded, "Jiaojiao is right, you can't keep going like this."

Yun Chennan stubbornly replied, "I can still see clearly."

How much does it cost to get a pair of glasses? It'll cost at least a hundred yuan.

Grandma Yun patted him and said, "You should get a new pair of glasses. We couldn't afford them before, but now we have some money. You need to get a good pair so you can see more clearly when the teacher is lecturing."

Yun Chennan opened his mouth, somewhat unable to refuse.

He really can't see the contents of the blackboard very clearly now.

However, Yun Chennan was clever; even if he couldn't see clearly, he could continue learning just by listening.

"I didn't expect there to be pearls inside the oysters. Should we sell these pearls?"

Yun Jiao nodded: "Yes!"

The oyster pearls weren't very good in color and weren't very big. Yun Jiao preferred the larger pearls with better color.

So she doesn't plan to keep these pearls.

“Auntie and Grandma like it, so leave some.”
