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

Chapter 153

"I didn't expect coconut crabs to be so expensive. I bought them for 18 yuan per jin (500g). Of course, the price offered by Dayun Restaurant was definitely a bit high."

Two coconut crabs weighing 12.6 jin (approximately 6.8 catties) sold for 226.8 yuan at 18 yuan per jin.

The money was simply given to Grandma Yun.

Grandma Yun divided it into three parts, this time equally.

A copy was still reserved for Yun Jiao.

"Mother, let's divide it into four portions."

Yun Linhai suddenly spoke up: "Including the fish we bought today, and the pearls we bought today, we'll divide them into four portions. You two old folks can take one portion each."

Yun Linhe nodded: "That's right, we all earned this money together today, so you two should take some too."

Yun Jiao couldn't speak because her mouth was full of food, but she nodded in agreement.

At everyone's insistence, the money has not been divided yet; it will be divided together after the pearls are sold.

Grandma Yun suddenly took out a few dollars.

"Everyone has worked hard today, you guys come here."

She called over her grandchildren and gave each of them a dollar.

"Here's the money. You can take it and decide whether you want to spend it or keep it."

Holding the one-yuan "huge sum" in their hands, Yun Xiaowu and the others felt as if they were dreaming.

The four brothers from the four cardinal directions are old enough to have a certain level of self-control; the eldest, second eldest, and youngest are all able to earn money.

Although the money they earned was to be brought back and confiscated, Shen Yunlian and Wang Mei only took half, leaving the other half for themselves.

Aside from the New Year's money they receive, the children under Yun Xiaowu generally don't have much money.

The little bit of New Year's money you receive will be taken away in less than two days.

You should know that their pocket money doesn't even exceed two cents!
Having a dollar all of a sudden feels like a dream come true.

Yun Jiao is already a well-off woman at home, although she doesn't have any of that money with her right now.

But Grandma Yun still gave her a dollar, treating all her grandchildren, regardless of age, the same.

Yun Xiaowu and his friends were so happy that they jumped around the house and shouted, as if they had reverted to their ancestral form and become monkeys.

He only quieted down after being scolded, but his face still showed obvious joy.

Yun Xiaowu even hugged that one-yuan coin and kissed it several times.

"I'm a rich man now!"

He had barely finished speaking when Yun Linhai punched him on the head a few times, and he immediately quieted down.

This lively and joyful atmosphere definitely influenced others, and the whole family was all happy.

There's no need for families to flaunt their wealth; as long as they're happy with themselves, that's enough.

"Tomorrow, eldest and second eldest sons, you two take your wives and children to your father-in-law's house to help with the rice harvest."

It's rice harvest season.

Both nodded.

"Jiaojiao, don't go. The wheat awns are prickly when harvesting rice, your skin can't handle it, and you'll have to work in the fields under the scorching sun all day."

Yun Jiao imagined herself miserable in the rice paddy under the scorching sun; she couldn't stand it even if she didn't do any work.

That would be terrible; you'd end up like dried fish.

She nodded; it was still more comfortable by the sea.

After dinner, sitting in the electric fan and listening to the chirping of insects and birds outside creates a sense of tranquility and liveliness.

The moon was so big that it shone even in the yard without any lights.

The only downside is that there are too many mosquitoes.

"Snapped……"

This was already the umpteenth time Yun Jiao had heard the sound of a slap hitting her body.

Everyone's gotten used to it, but it's still itchy.

In no time, Yun Xiaojiu had scratched a red, swollen mosquito bite on her body.

He moved closer to Yun Jiao, carrying a small stool.

"Jiaojiao doesn't attract mosquitoes at all."

He was so envious.

Yun Jiao leaned closer to him: "Brother, come closer, there will be fewer mosquitoes." Actually, there wouldn't be many mosquitoes even if you lit mosquito coils inside the house, but it was too stuffy inside in this weather, so it was more comfortable to stay in the yard and chat.

However, burning mosquito coils outside is not very effective.

Yun Jiao is like a walking mosquito repellent. Not only does she avoid attracting mosquitoes herself, but there are also very few mosquitoes around if you are close to her.

But there were too many brothers, and they even fought over Yun Jiao.

Of course, it's the kind of playful fighting.

the next day……

When Yun Jiao woke up, her mother, father, and brothers were all gone.

Now there are only two children in the family, her and her ninth brother.

Early in the morning, Yun Jiao and Yun Xiao Jiu busied themselves feeding the chickens, ducks, and geese at home, and after having breakfast, they went off to play by themselves.

Yun Xiaojiu, carrying her toys, and Yun Jiao, carrying her wooden animal carvings, led Cat Boss to the big banyan tree at the village entrance.

The banyan tree has a very tall and large canopy, providing cool shade under its branches. Not only adults like to come here, but children also enjoy playing here.

"Jiaojiao, over here."

The person who called her was Yun Xiaohua, a friend of Yun Jiao's from the village.

Uncle Awang's child is only two years older than him.

The two families have a good relationship, and Yun Xiaohua also has a good relationship with her.

Yun Jiao walked over, and the cat boss stretched and scratched the tree like a scratching post for a while before nimbly climbing up the tree and lying down.

Besides Yun Xiaohua, there were other girls over there.

"Jiaojiao, is it just your Ninth Brother keeping you company today?"

Yun Jiao nodded: "The other brothers went to help Grandma and the others harvest rice."

"Yun Jiao, the hair clip in your hair is so pretty."

A child looked at Yun Jiao with envy.

Yun Jiao not only has a beautiful hair clip, but her clothes are also beautiful, and they don't even have any patches.

Yun Jiao shook her head: "My fourth brother made this for me. He made a lot of hair clips for me."

Everyone was even more envious, wondering why they didn't have such a skillful and loving older brother.

The sun is strong now, and most of these girls are out cutting grass to feed their family's poultry, pigs, cattle, and sheep.

Or they would have to go collect firewood.

Right now, I'm just resting under this big banyan tree.

Yunjiao shared her little toys with them.

She's quite generous with the rest of her toys, except for her favorite ones, as long as you don't take them away from her.

Just be careful when they play with them; if they get dirty, she'll get angry and won't let them play anymore.

"This wood carving even has clothes on it."

"so cute."

The small wooden carvings were only slightly larger than their palms, and Yun Chenbei painted each one with a different color.

He also used scraps of fabric from home or from his master's place to make little clothes and skirts.

The little girl's favorite thing was changing her dolls' clothes and dresses.

They even made little skirts for them out of leaves or plastic bags.

You can play quietly for a while.

"Jiaojiao, does your brother still have any dolls like this? Does he sell them?"

Yun Xiaohua leaned close to Yun Jiao and asked in a low voice.

She really loved these wooden dolls and wanted them.

If I had one of my own, I could use a lot of things to dress up my doll in different outfits and skirts.

Yun Jiao: "I'll ask him for you when Fourth Brother comes back."

It seems that my fourth brother is working with my third brother to sell things.

However, he didn't sell them in town; instead, his third brother took them to school to sell to some of his classmates.

It was just a minor incident.
