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

Chapter 164 Moving
The time has finally come for us to move.

Grandpa Yun flipped through a small notebook, having specially chosen an auspicious day for moving.

It was Saturday, and Yun Xiaowu and his brothers were on holiday at home.

The best time was around eight o'clock in the morning, so they got up early that day. Shen Yunlian dressed Yun Jiao in a festive little red dress and tied her hair into two cute little buns.

The headband tied in her hair was also red.

It's like a lucky doll that brings good fortune.

The others also changed into new clothes and got busy, each with a smile on their face.

"Let's go, let's go to our new home."

After several days of tidying up, many things have been moved to the new house, making the old house feel somewhat empty.

Yun Jiao picked up the turtle Xiao Er from the basin, with two chubby little dogs wagging their tails at her feet.

"Grandpa, do I have to hold Turtle Boy the whole time?"

Turtles are a symbol of good fortune and longevity. The day before yesterday, Yun Jiao went to the beach with her mother and encountered this little guy who came looking for her.

Kameichi came too, but he didn't go home with them.

It just so happened that they were moving, so we brought Turtle Boy along for good luck.

"Yes, if you get tired of carrying them, let your older brothers carry you."

Yun Jiao: "Not tired."

The beautiful hawksbill turtles are also very well-behaved and don't make a fuss.

As they made their way to the new house, the village became lively.

Moving house doesn't necessarily require inviting the entire village, but close friends and acquaintances will definitely come to celebrate the new house.

The moment they stepped into their new house, accompanied by everyone loudly chanting auspicious words, they officially moved into their new home.

Yun Jiao also placed Gui Xiao Er into the small basin of seawater on the table.

Yun Linhai and his friends and relatives were entertaining each other, while Grandma Yun, Shen Yunlian, and Wang Mei were busy preparing food.

When moving to a new house, you need to knead dough and make glutinous rice balls.

The glutinous rice balls were cooked with rice wine.

Solid, pure white glutinous rice balls, combined with the mellow aroma of sweet wine, were placed in a small bowl by Yun Jiao. The balls were about the size of ping-pong balls.

One bite and it's sweet and chewy.

This is made with glutinous rice.

"Beautiful!"

Yun Jiao, with food stuffed in her mouth, heard a familiar voice.

She looked up in surprise and saw her two cousins, her uncle, her aunt, and her maternal grandparents.

Yun Jiao put the small spoon down, jumped off the stool, and pounced into her older cousin's arms.

"Grandpa and Grandma, Uncle and Aunt, Big Cousin, Little Cousin."

Yun Jiao, with her sweet tongue, called out to each of them in turn.

Uncle Shen took her and picked her up, lifting her high in the air. Yun Jiao laughed so happily.

She was already dressed festively, and with her good looks, her smile seemed to add even more joy to the new home.

Shen Yunlian also came out and quickly welcomed them into her home.

After Grandma Shen and her family arrived, Wang Mei's family soon followed.

However, only two people from their family came.

Wang Mei's mother and younger brother.

Their family is quite large, with three sons and two daughters. With so many people, and the fact that their sons got married, it's easy for conflicts to arise when they live together.

Wang Mei's parents were good to their children, but every time Wang Mei brought something from her parents' home, her sister-in-law would always make sarcastic remarks.

Fortunately, the family separated two years ago. The two elderly people were unwilling to put up with their daughter-in-law's temper and had to live with their unmarried youngest son.

Wang Mei also has the best relationship with her younger brother.

"Mother, please sit down. I'll get you some sweet dumplings."

The mother nagged, "You go about your business. Your brother and I will sit for a while and then go back. I'm worried about leaving your father alone at home to look after so many pigs and sheep."

"Since we're already here, we should definitely sit down before we leave." As they were talking, Yun Jiao had already come over with a bowl of glutinous rice balls.

"Grandma, have some glutinous rice balls."

"Oh, good... This, this must be Jiaojiao, right? She's so beautiful, so beautiful."

The old woman had a full head of white hair and dark skin covered with visible wrinkles, but she was actually only in her forties, not even fifty years old.

Having so many children, plus the constant chores at home, made her look exceptionally old.

Her youngest son, the man next to her, is about twenty years old.

"Sister, Jiaojiao is just as beautiful as you said!"

The man had dark skin, a handsome face, and a bright white smile; he seemed like a cheerful person.

"My little cousin."

"Oh, Jiaojiao is such a good girl."

Wang Hongfei took a lollipop out of his pocket and handed it to Yun Jiao.

Yun Jiao happily accepted the gift, saying, "Thank you, Uncle. I'll go get you some glutinous rice balls."

She skipped away, then came back with a bowl of glutinous rice balls, a lollipop already stuffed in her mouth.

"Cousin, here you go."

Wang Mei had other things to do and couldn't stay with them all the time.

Yun Xiaoqi and Yun Xiaoba were called over.

With Yun Jiao included, the three younger ones kept the two company while they talked.

When Wang Hongfei arrived, he had prepared lollipops for the children, one for each of them.

However, Wang Hongfei clearly preferred talking to his pretty little niece, Yun Jiao.

"I wish I could have a daughter as beautiful as you someday."

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother glared at her youngest son.

"You still dare to talk? I've introduced you to several people, but you haven't liked any of them. If you want a daughter, why don't you find a wife instead!"

She was extremely worried about her youngest son's marriage.

Wang Hongfei awkwardly touched his nose, realizing he had been too talkative and had somehow gotten into this conversation.

"No, I just wanted to earn more money first."

"Money isn't that easy to earn. You're already so old. Other people's children your age are already helping out at home."

"Alright, alright, Mother, stop talking. Jiaojiao and the others are watching."

Wang Hongfei made a pleading gesture.

He quickly made an excuse to leave and go find Yun Chenbei.

Yun Jiao also left to find the two chubby puppies.

Most people left after eating the glutinous rice balls, leaving a few close sisters-in-law to help Shen Yunlian and Wang Mei wash the dishes.

Yun Jiao liked to drink the sweet rice wine soup with glutinous rice balls. Holding her small bowl, she went to ask her mother for another bowl of soup and drank it with her eyes half-closed.

With her two chubby little dogs by her side, Yun Jiao strolled around her new home and then spotted her cousin and fourth brother, who were chatting together.

She leaned closer to listen.

"Listen to me, I've seen those things you make before, they'll definitely sell well in the north."

“I’ve already found out. There’s a shortage of goods in the north right now, like clothes, watches, radios, and all those little gadgets you make. They’ll definitely sell well too. If you don’t want to do business, I’ll do it.”

Yun Chenbei frowned: "But, Uncle, where did you get the money to buy the goods?"

Wang Hongfei: "I borrowed some money from friends and raised about a thousand yuan. It's not much, but if I sell things little by little, it will eventually increase. I also brought two brothers to join me. I plan to go to Hong Kong to buy a batch of goods before heading north."

"Is my cousin going into business?"

Yun Jiao suddenly spoke, startling Wang Hongfei.

He squatted down and covered Yun Jiao's mouth, then glanced around furtively, relieved not to see his mother.

"Shh... You can't let your great-aunt know about this."
