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

Chapter 61 Visiting Relatives

After returning home, Yun Linhai called the two elderly people into a separate room, and then carefully took out the gold bars that he had put in his pocket.

The two elderly people's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when they saw it.

"Where...where did you come from?"

Yun Linhai handed the gold bars to Grandma Yun.

"Mom, this is what our sea turtle brought back from the sea."

Grandma Yun's voice trembled: "What? Our, our sea turtle?!"

Grandpa Yun was also shocked: "It, it even brings gold into the house?"

Yun Linhai: "Mother, you keep this. Otherwise, it's not appropriate for either of us brothers to keep this gold bar. We can exchange it for money later, or split it among ourselves."

There was only one gold bar, and he and Lin He were close friends, so it wouldn't be appropriate for either of them to keep it.

Yun Linhai had thought it through and didn't want to damage his brotherly relationship over a gold bar.

Grandpa Yun and Grandma Yun also thought of this.

Although the sea turtle was raised by Jiaojiao, who was nominally the eldest daughter's daughter.

But in reality, the second son's family treated her the same as their own daughter.

So it's really not appropriate for either of the two brothers to hold this thing.

“Alright, your husband and I will keep these things for you for now. After we divide the family property, we'll find a time to split them into two parts, and you can each take one part.”

After Yun Linhai left, Old Lady Yun felt that it was inappropriate to hide the gold bars anywhere.

It took a long time to finally hide the gold bar properly.

"Jiaojiao, are you going to collect the fish traps?"

Yun Jiao was staring intently at her mother making food, and wouldn't leave like a sticky rice dumpling.

Hearing this, he shook his head: "I'm not going."

She can't eat what she catches in the fish trap, so now she's craving the food in the kitchen.

"I'm going, I'm going, I want to go."

Yun Xiaowu raised his hand and jumped around with all his might.

"Should we be able to go now?"

"Okay, let's go."

Yun Linhe took his son and nephew to collect the fish traps. Grandpa Yun and Grandma Yun came out of their room and felt heartbroken looking at the sea turtles in the large basin in the yard.

"It's not good for you to live in such a small basin."

"Come and eat more."

Yun Jiao came out of the kitchen carrying a cooked cat's eye snail and saw two elderly people feeding a sea turtle with loving expressions.

It always feels weird.

"Jiaojiao, didn't you want to raise chicks? There's a chicken farm in your maternal grandfather's village with lots of chicks. Why don't you and your mother go check it out at their hometown tomorrow?"

Yun Jiao immediately ran back to the kitchen.

"Mother, are we going to Grandpa's house tomorrow?"

Shen Yunlian also heard her mother-in-law's words. She wiped her hands and said, "Okay, you haven't been to your maternal grandparents' house yet. I'll take you there tomorrow."

Yun Jiao was so happy that she skipped and hopped along behind her.

"My cousin said there are lots of wild fruits, pheasants, and wild rabbits in the mountains over there."

Shen Yunlian's family is from the mountains, a completely different living environment from the fishing village.

They don't have a sea there, and the roads are even more difficult to travel.

It would take half a day to walk that distance on foot.

Grandma Yun also walked into the kitchen: "Jiaojiao is all grown up now, she can go visiting relatives. You two should take the child back tomorrow to get acquainted with the family, and buy some rice and flour on the way back."

She took out twenty yuan and gave it to Shen Yunlian.

"Take it. You can't just take things from your parents' house for nothing, or what would you be?"

Shen Yunlian felt a warmth in her heart. Although her family was poor, she was truly fortunate to have such understanding in-laws.

Moreover, things have improved for the family now, so they can no longer be considered poor.

It was almost evening when Yunlinhe and the others returned with the ground cage.

He brought nothing but the cage, which means the contents of the cage have obviously been sold.

"The catch from the fish traps was pretty good today; I made thirteen yuan."

Upon hearing this, everyone smiled.

Yun Linhai came in carrying a bamboo pole.

"Jiaojiao, look what Daddy brought you! Didn't you always want a fishing rod?"

Yun Jiao ran over and called out sweetly, "Daddy, make a fishing rod." "Okay, okay, I'll make it for you after dinner."

"Jiaojiao's uncle said you rode an orca back from the sea today? Tell your brother what happened..."

The already cramped house seemed even smaller after so many people suddenly flooded in.

But having lived here for so long, no one would mind.

On the contrary, it was lively and bustling with people.

Yun Jiao was surrounded by her brothers who were talking about orcas.

Young and full of youthful vigor, they wish they could ride orcas and roam freely and domineeringly in the ocean.

"Sis, you're amazing! I'll be so proud to say I have a sister who rides an orca in the ocean."

"Can we ride the orca brothers?"

Yun Jiao: "I don't know, I need to ask."

Yun Xiaowu: "Then I'll go ask tomorrow!"

Shen Yunlian: You are not allowed to go tomorrow. You are going to your maternal grandparents' house tomorrow.

"what?"

In the past, he would have been very happy to visit his maternal grandparents.

My cousin and I went to the mountains to catch pheasants and wild rabbits; it was so much fun!

But now all he can think about is the orca!
Grandma Yun: "You want to raise chicks? Someone in your mother's village has set up a chicken farm. Go and pick out a few chicks."

Yun Linhai: "What, you don't want to go? If you're not going, then stay home."

Yun Xiaowu: "Go, of course I'm going!"

…………

Shen Yunlian certainly couldn't go back to her parents' home empty-handed.

Grandma Yun got up early in the morning and prepared a lot of things for me.

The two baskets were full, mostly filled with dried salted fish, kelp, and some small fish and shrimp.

"We were a bit pressed for time, otherwise we could have taken some with us once the mussels were dried."

Shen Yunlian quickly said, "That's enough, Mother. This is enough."

"Aren't the eldest and second eldest brothers going?"

Yun Jiao was dressed in clean little clothes, and she looked as pretty as a snow doll.

"They're not going. Your second brother is going out to sea with your uncle today."

Yun Jiao nodded and obediently held her mother's hand.

Two adults carried things on their backs, and the tractor carried them for a distance.

But the tractor couldn't go the second half of the road, so they had to walk.

Luckily it wasn't raining, so the muddy road was dry; otherwise, every step would have been a muddy mess.

"Jiaojiao is tired from walking, so Daddy will carry her."

Now we're starting to climb the mountain path.

Yun Jiao nodded and ran ahead with her fifth and sixth brothers.

There was a stream in front of them, and Yun Xiaowu picked up the stones from the stream.

"There are crabs! Jiaojiao, come and see!"

Yun Jiao jogged over and squatted down, staring intently at the stream in front of her.

The water was a bit murky after the stones were moved, and Yun Xiaojiu caught the little crab.

Yun Jiao: "So small."

Having seen so many large crabs on the beach, this one looks incredibly small.

It's about the size of a pigeon egg.

"Can it be eaten at such a small size?" Yun Xiaoliu also seemed a little disgusted.

Yun Jiao reached out her hand: "I'll try."

As for how to try it, well, you just put it in your mouth.

Yun Xiaowu: "Don't even think about it."

He looked at his younger sister with some worry. Jiaojiao was easy to raise, but she was too easy to raise. She could eat anything.

Yun Jiao turned her face away, looking a little angry.

With its big eyes fixed on the stream, it tried to find a small crab to taste and see what the difference was between freshwater crabs and sea crabs.
