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

Chapter 176, dedicated to Fu Mingyu
"Jiaojiao, did you miss me? I'm here~"

A somewhat familiar voice rang out. Yun Jiao, who was sitting obediently on a small stool in the yard, staring blankly at the rabbit in front of her, yawned as her mother combed her hair.

Then, somewhat belatedly, he looked outside.

Familiar voices, familiar faces.

Yun Jiao tilted her head, her mind still a little fuzzy as she processed the information.

Ah... he's Wang Hongfei's cousin.

"Hongfei, what brings you here?"

Wang Mei heard the voice and realized it was too familiar. When she went outside, she found it was her younger brother.

Wang Hongfei chuckled: "Good morning, sis. I'm going on a long trip, so I came to visit."

As he spoke, he winked in Yun Jiao's direction.

Yun Jiao greeted him with a soft, sticky voice.

Three-year-old Yunjiao was still half-asleep when she woke up early in the morning, looking a bit dazed and confused.

Wang Hongfei: Good boy!

"Jiaojiao, this is a gift I brought for you."

Wang Hongfei, grinning, held something up to Yun Jiao's face.

Yun Jiao looked down and saw that it was a human-shaped doll.

Her hair was still blonde.

She slowly took it: "Thank you, Uncle."

Wang Hongfei: "You're welcome. I heard that many girls like to play with this. You can change the clothes and braid the hair of this doll."

Two different dresses are also included as a set.

This doll's hands and legs can move.

It's just a bit stiff.

Yun Jiao picked up the plastic doll and began to examine it with great interest.

She still maintains a great deal of curiosity about things that are unfamiliar and have never seen before.

She was somewhat interested at the moment, but it would only last a short time. However, Yun Jiao was certain that Yun Xiaohua and the other girls would like it.

Wang Hongfei was very kind; he not only bought a gift for Yun Jiao separately, but also brought a bag of candy, a large roll of noodles, and two bottles of soda.

This soda is, of course, for the Yun family's children.

"You're already here, why bring so many gifts?"

According to Yun Jiao's observation, this is what most families say when relatives or friends bring gifts to their door.

Wang Hongfei was very talkative, and in no time he had the elderly in the family all smiles.

Of course, his main purpose in coming today was to find Yun Chenbei.

Unfortunately, Yun Chenbei wasn't home at this time; he had gone to his master's house.

So Yun Jiao was responsible for taking him to find Fourth Brother.

She was holding a small, chubby white dog, with another dog at her feet, and a cat following leisurely behind.

Yun Jiao arrived at Mu Lao's house with practiced ease.

The morning air was still misty. The big black dog lying by the door heard the sound, its ears twitched, and it raised its head alertly.

Upon seeing that it was Yun Jiao, it wagged its tail perfunctorily in welcome, and then slowly lay down.

The little black dog, however, barked and ran towards the big black dog.

The little white dog I was holding was wagging its tail very happily, and its tail made its little bottom wiggle with great energy, while its four little short legs flapped happily.

Yun Jiao simply put it down as well, and then the little white dog ran towards the big black dog.

In the blink of an eye, Big Black was being harassed by the two cubs.

Yun Jiao could even see helplessness on Da Hei's face.

"Big Black, take good care of your baby."

Yun Jiao patted Da Hei's head and earnestly gave a speech in her childish voice.

Wang Hongfei chuckled, "These two puppies are its? I thought this dog was a male; it looks so fierce."

The big black ears twitched, then it bared its teeth at Wang Hongfei.

Wang Hongfei exclaimed and stepped back: "What, trying to bite someone?"

Yun Jiao spoke up for Dahei: "Dahei is a male dog, and he is their father."

Wang Hongfei touched his nose and chuckled, saying, "I knew it! Such a majestic and powerful dog must be a magnificent male dog."

Dahei stared at Wang Hongfei for a while before turning its gaze away and, slightly annoyed, shoved the puppy that was clinging to its ear and biting it away.

It's too annoying; I don't want to admit that this is its offspring.

Yun Jiao led Wang Hongfei into the Mu family's house.

"Fourth brother."

With her short legs, Yun Jiao stepped across the threshold of the Mu family's house and headed straight for the person sitting in the courtyard. Yun Chenbei put down his carving knife and saw a smile on Yun Jiao's face.

Looking at the person behind her, her eyes were filled with a bit of confusion, her lips were pursed, and her brows were slightly furrowed.

It didn't make a sound, so it was a bit hard to tell.

Yun Jiao could tell from his expression that her fourth brother didn't recognize her.

"Fourth brother, is my maternal uncle."

She hugged the boy's neck and whispered something.

Yun Chenbei realized what was happening, and just then Wang Hongfei spoke up as well.

"Wow... you really wouldn't recognize me if I didn't say anything."

He knew that Yun Chenbei was face-blind, but he had never noticed it before.

All I know is that this nephew is not talkative. When he goes to their house, he usually helps with chores quietly or just sits in a daze.

"Uncle."

Yun Chenbei called out slowly.

"Hey, Xiao Bei, is everything ready yet?"

Yun Chenbei nodded slightly: "Not many."

He got up and went to the room to get a wooden box.

He made all of these things during his rest time.

Kittens, puppies, rabbits, and chubby little birds.

They all move.

Although they are all made of wood, they are quite endearing.

I only had time to make a few.

Each one is only the size of a palm and is painted. From a distance, they look just like the real thing.

However, you can't see it up close; once you get close, the wood grain becomes very obvious.

Yun Chenbei's current work cannot yet achieve the level of realism that Old Man Mu possessed.

But Wang Hongfei was already very satisfied with this.

"Not bad, not bad, just a little too little."

Yun Chenbei: "There are also decorations made of snail shells and seashells at home."

Those are simpler; he can make some of them when he gets home in the evening.

"No rush, I'm leaving tomorrow, I'll look at it when I get back."

He pulled Yun Chenbei along and continued to ramble on about his grand plans.

Yun Chenbei was taciturn, only occasionally responding with a word.

Yun Jiao was squatting to one side, looking at the carving her fourth brother had just made, her eyes full of surprise.

"Fourth Brother, you're all done!"

so cute.

A chubby wooden doll riding an orca.

Although the wood carving couldn't be as lifelike, exquisite, and beautiful as the real person, it still bore a five or six-tenths resemblance to Yun Jiao.

Moreover, Yun Chenbei is developing in a cute direction; the wooden doll looks a couple of points fatter than Yun Jiao.

Nice looking, I like it.

Yun Jiao thought that the doll her fourth brother had carved was even more beautiful than the one her cousin had given her.

The only downside is that you can't change clothes, and the hair is also carved from wood.

Wang Hongfei also looked over, and then his eyes suddenly lit up.

He rubbed his hands together: "This..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yun Chenbei refused expressionlessly: "Jiaojiao, not given."

Yun Jiao nodded: "Mine."

After thinking for a moment, she added with a hint of reluctance, "This is for Fu Mingyu."

This was agreed upon before.

But it's so cute, I'm a little reluctant to part with it.

Then she thought about how Fu Mingyu had sent their family a lot of things, food and other necessities.

Well... I'll still send it over.

I'll ask my fourth brother to carve an even prettier one for me later.

Wang Hongfei clutched his chest, his gaze lingering on the wooden carving: "Who is Fu Mingyu?"
