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

Chapter 22 Yun Jiao's Singing

Yun Jiao later learned that Cai Jinhua had spoken ill of her again.

But her aunt scolded her back.

Hmph, ever since I didn't give her fruit last time, she's held a grudge against me even more.

But Yun Jiao wouldn't let her spoil her mood.

With marbles in his hands, Yun Xiaowu and his friends had become the kings of the children in Bailong Village, and a bunch of 'little brothers' followed them wherever they went.

Yun Jiao was either going to the beach or playing with her brothers; she was too busy to pay attention to Cai Jinhua.

"Jiaojiao, come here, glass marbles are a lot of fun, you should try them too."

Yun Jiao looked at her brother, who was lying on the ground with his butt sticking out, playing marbles, and shook her head in refusal.

"I do not."

She is a clean little girl.

"Come on, give it a try."

Yun Xiaowu slipped a marble into her hand.

Yun Jiao squatted on the ground, so she wouldn't lie down like her brothers.

"Use this to hit the marbles on the ground over there. If you hit them, they're yours."

Yun Jiao looked at the red glass marble in her hand, then tossed it away with her soft, white little hand.

"pat..."

Wow! I won!

"It went very far."

"Jiaojiao is amazing."

The older brothers immediately showered him with compliments.

Yun Jiao's lips curled up, her eyes were bright and beautiful, especially when she smiled, her big eyes curved into small crescents, soft and cuddly.

The little boys around couldn't help but glance at her several times, envying Yun Xiaowu and his friends for having such a beautiful younger sister.

“Jiaojiao, please continue.”

Yun Jiao and her brothers played marbles for a while, but then got bored.

She wanted to go to the sea.

"Brother, I want to go to the sea."

Yun Xiaowu: "No, Father and my older brother are all busy building houses. We can't go into the sea without them watching over us."

Yun Jiao pouted, looking unhappy.

When she's unhappy, her eyebrows droop, her big eyes become watery, and the corners of her mouth turn down, making her look pitiful and aggrieved.

The brothers felt so sorry for her.

"Let's go find Grandma and Auntie. They're going to go beachcombing to prepare food for the family. Even though they can't go into the sea, they can play on the beach."

Well, that's the only way.

Yun Xiaowu and his friends stopped playing their beloved marbles, said goodbye to their sister and friends, and left.

Several girls nearby were incredibly envious.

"Yun Xiaowu and the others are so good to Yun Jiao."

As girls, they couldn't play outside; they had to gather firewood to take back, or they would get beaten up.

Actually, Yun Jiao wasn't the only girl in the village who was pampered by her family; she was just more outstanding.

She was an adopted daughter, doted on by all her brothers and the adults in her family.

Without comparison, there is no harm; those children who are not favored at home are especially envious of her.

"Hmph, what's so great about it? She'll still have to get married eventually."

Yun Zhaodi thought maliciously, "Maybe Yun Xiaowu's family is only treating her so well because she's pretty, so they can sell her for a good price in the future!"

Her eldest sister was sold in the same way. It was said to be a marriage, but even though Yun Zhaodi was still young, she knew what the real situation was.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Be careful they don't hear you, or you'll be in big trouble!"

Yun Zhaodi's third sister scolded her.

Yun Zhaodi rolled her eyes at her: "Hmph, we'll just wait and see."

Yun Jiao sneezed.

"What's wrong, Jiaojiao? You haven't caught a cold, have you?"

Her older brothers stared at her nervously.

Having a cold is awful. Not only do you have to get injections, but those long ones are really stuck in your butt and they hurt like hell.

We also have to take medicine that tastes awful. Yun Jiao sniffed and shook her head: "I don't have a cold, let's go find Mother quickly."

Shen Yunlian and Wang Mei were indeed going to go beachcombing, and they didn't stop the children when they heard that they wanted to go with them.

"Grandpa, where's the boat?"

Yun Jiao ran to Grandpa Yun's side, following him like a little tail, and asked softly with her fair and pretty little face upturned.

She hadn't forgotten that Grandpa Yun had said he wanted to buy a boat.

"Jiaojiao still remembers this."

Grandpa Yun is skillfully pushing sand with a wheelbarrow.

"The boat has been booked. Your father will go to check it out tomorrow. If everything is fine, we'll pay and the boat will be back tomorrow."

Yun Jiao nodded happily, her two little braids swaying up and down with her movements.

With a boat, we can go out to sea, and she'll be begging to go.

"Jiaojiao is gone, let's go to the beach."

Yun Jiao immediately said goodbye to her grandfather and scurried off to her brothers on her short legs.

Yun Xiaowu reached out and took her hand.

Yun Xiaowu was humming a song he had recently learned: "Little Erlang, carrying his schoolbag to school..."

This song was played every day through the school's loudspeaker, and could be heard throughout the village. The lyrics were easy to remember and catchy, and most of the children had learned it.

Yun Jiao skipped along with her brother, softly singing, "Carrying that schoolbag to school."

"Fuck!"

Yun Jiao echoed, "Holy crap!"

Yun Xiaowu's sudden exclamation of "Holy crap!" earned him a beating.

Yun Xiaowu: "Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! I know I shouldn't have used foul language!"

Shen Yunlian said with a dark face, "Yun Xiaowu, how many times have I told you? You can't swear in front of your sister!"

Yun Jiao looked at Shen Yunlian with innocent eyes.

"No, my sister just sang. Mother, listen, she sang so beautifully."

It was indescribably good, but it was definitely better than what was sung over the school's loudspeaker.

So I couldn't help but yell "Holy crap!"

"Jiaojiao, sing a song quickly."

Yun Xiaowu looked at her expectantly.

Yun Jiao: "The sun shines brightly, the flowers smile at me, the birds chirp 'Good morning, good morning,' why are you carrying your little schoolbag..."

Not only Yun Xiaowu, but also Shen Yunlian, Wang Mei, and the other boys in the Yun family were stunned.

Logically speaking, children of Yun Jiao's age usually have similar, childlike voices.

They usually just thought Yun Jiao's voice was nicer than other children's.

But to their surprise, his singing was indescribably beautiful.

It has a touch of ethereal softness, like a calm sea surface under the warm sun.

"It sounds really good."

Wang Mei couldn't help but praise it.

Yun Xiaowu held his chin high, as if he were the one singing the song.

"That's right, don't you even know whose sister she is?"

Yun Jiao continued humming a song.

Mermaids can weep tears that turn into pearls, and their songs are dreamlike and illusory. They can even weave illusions with their songs to bewitch people's minds.

Yun Jiao is now human and has lost the ability to turn her tears into pearls, but when she cries, her tears still fall one by one, like pearls strung together, crystal clear in the sunlight.

Now, the singing has lost its ability to weave illusions and confuse the mind, but it has possessed an enviable voice since childhood.

This is what they mean by God chasing after you to feed you.

But she is still young, and her voice still has a soft, childlike quality; her voice hasn't fully developed yet.

Along the way, everyone who had listened to one song wanted to hear another.

It's a bit addictive.

Yun Jiao sang another song, but when asked to sing again, she hugged her arms, turned her head angrily, and faced the back of her head towards her brother.

She showed through her actions that she was angry and didn't want to sing.

At this point, I'm not sure if the school was playing music. Novels will definitely differ from reality, so please don't compare them completely to real life.
