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

Chapter 184 Strange Stones
"Boss Cat!"

She didn't go over there, but with just one shout, she summoned the hardworking and meritorious Cat Boss.

The tabby cat grumbled and ran towards the big white goose.

Having molted, the pure white goose is now quite formidable, exuding a defiant and arrogant air.

They don't even respect Cat Boss anymore.

They stretched their necks and tried to peck at the eldest cat.

The cat nimbly dodged, then jumped up and swatted the big white goose with its paw.

In just a few seconds, it swung its paws more than a dozen times, and all that could be seen with the naked eye were the afterimages of its paws.

The Shadowless Cat Fist lives up to its name.

Sometimes it would hug the white goose's neck and kick its hind feet so fast that it almost scratched the goose's feathers bald.

Even five big white geese combined are no match for the cat boss.

The last few white geese were taught a harsh lesson by reality and slunk away from the field.

After cleaning up the goose, the cat boss stared at Yun Jiao with its green eyes.

It's one thing for a cat to catch mice at home, but it also has to herd geese. None of the village dogs do this kind of work, yet it's expected to do it. Is that reasonable?!
Yun Jiao chuckled and called the cat over to massage its paws and scratch its chin.

"When you go back, Cat Boss, ask Grandma to make you something delicious and brush your fur."

After Yun Jiao made several promises, Cat Boss shook his whiskers and finally calmed down a bit.

With a large number of people, they quickly finished planting potatoes in the field.

As darkness fell, Yun Jiao carried the little turtle Xiao Er, who was crawling around in the field, and led a long string of animals home, humming a nursery rhyme and swaying her head.

"Grandpa, we're back!"

The familiar aroma of food wafted over, and Yun Jiao, rubbing her belly, eagerly washed her hands and face before sitting down at the table. Her bright eyes were fixed on the fragrant dishes, and she obediently waited for her family with her chopsticks in hand.

During meals, he was so happy that his short legs swung around.

"Is Father going out to sea tomorrow?"

Yun Jiao looked at her father longingly, wanting to go out to sea to play.

Unexpectedly, Yun Linhai shook his head: "The weather hasn't been very good these past few days, so for safety's sake, we won't be going out to sea."

"Oh."

Well, I'm a little disappointed.

The weather has been really bad lately, and a typhoon hit that night.

Her brothers came looking for her again, carrying blankets and quilts.

The temperature difference between the outside and the inside of the bed is significant, which is particularly soothing and allows for a restful, dreamless sleep.

"Wow, Jiaojiao, look! It rained fish yesterday!"

Early in the morning, there were several fish in front of their door.

They're all dead, but their flesh is still fresh and edible.

Grandpa Yun quickly picked up the fish.

"The wind was a bit strong yesterday, so these fish must have been blown ashore."

Yun Jiao rubbed her eyes, fully awake.

"So, are there many good things to find at the beach today?"

Clearly, the rest of the family thought the same thing.

"Hurry, hurry, let's go beachcombing!"

Small typhoons won't affect the lives of coastal residents, but they will bring many good things from the sea.

Even Yun Chenbei took his beachcombing gear and headed to the beach.

Yun Jiao tucked Gui Xiao Er into her pocket, and with two dogs and a cat in tow, she followed the adults around with a burlap sack and a bucket in her arms.

Their new house is in a great location, not too far from the sea, and the beach is just around the corner.

"Wow!"

"So many crabs have come up here, hahaha... There are just too many!"

"Hurry up and grab the yarn, or these things will run away!"

Along the coast, many sand crabs are visible to the naked eye, preparing to head out to sea.

Yun Jiao and the others quickly caught sand crabs.

The sand crabs aren't very big and are quite cheap, but there are so many of them here.

Moreover, these small sand crabs are delicious whether deep-fried or stir-fried. They can even be used to make sand crab sauce.

Besides countless sand crabs, there are also some deep-sea fish.

"Mother, look what a big ribbonfish I found!"

"A tiger grouper, a huge tiger grouper, and it's still alive."

Yun Jiao also kept her eyes and ears open and quickly spotted something different.

It looked like a stone, but Yun Jiao had picked up many stones on the beach and had never seen one like this before.

The white, irregularly shaped stone, about the size of a basketball, could easily be mistaken for white wood if not examined closely.

She tapped her fingers.

"What is this?"

This thing has a faint, strange smell, a fishy odor mixed with a faint, lingering fragrance.

She liked to pick up strange and unusual things that she didn't recognize or had never seen before. Out of curiosity, she would pick them up and then ask her father or brother about them.

After making her decision, Yun Jiao hugged the stone and put it into the burlap sack she had brought.

Just as it was put in, shouts and footsteps came from not far away.

Clearly, the villagers had all come to gather seafood.

Yun Jiao continued her beachcombing diligently and found a puddle with many prawns. She immediately called her brother to help her collect them.

Every now and then, Yun Jiao and the others would hear excited shouts from others.

No doubt, this is a great find.

"Holy crap, Yun Dafu actually found a Napoleon wrasse!"

Napoleon wrasse, that fish is very expensive.

Immediately, everyone who heard the news ran towards Yun Dafu.

Yun Jiao also joined in the fun to watch, as she had never caught a Su Mei fish before.

"Hey! I was just about to go over there, why didn't I go sooner?"

Many people slapped their thighs until they were red as they looked at the spot where Yun Dafu was picking up the grouper.

With red eyes, they all thought that if only they had come sooner, this Napoleon wrasse would have been theirs.

Even Yun Linhe looked annoyed: "I almost walked over there."

Yun Dafu was also happy, but perhaps having learned from his previous experience of being robbed for being too high-profile, he only showed off a little and didn't flaunt the grouper in front of everyone at Versailles.

Yun Dafu was worried that the grouper would be hard to sell if it died completely, so he quickly ran to find a seller with the fish in his arms.

Yun Jiao and the others continued collecting sand crabs.

This wave of sand crabs is a rare find; they might be gone after today, so we need to collect as many as possible.

With so many sand crabs, those who came out to gather seafood quickly ran back to call their friends, and soon the beach became increasingly crowded.

When it was almost time, the people who had been picking through the piles of things, their backs aching from all the work, finally prepared to go home.

At first, everyone was excited to find so many sand crabs, but after picking them for a long time, all that was left was numbness and backache.

The massive group of sand crabs gradually dwindled in number in front of so many people.

"Let's go, we should go home."

Besides selling some, they also kept a bucket for themselves to eat.

Sand crabs cost three cents a pound, and they collected two sacks of them, along with some other seafood.

Today's earnings from beachcombing were 139.8 yuan.

It wasn't a lot, but everyone was satisfied.

It's not bad to earn this much from beachcombing.

"I also found a coconut snail."

Yun Xiaojiu hugged the coconut snail, which was bigger than her face, and laughed happily.

After the incident where a flame pearl was found inside a coconut snail, they basically didn't sell any of the coconut snails they found.

"Let's take it back and see how lucky Xiao Jiu is."

Yun Xiaojiu shook her head: "Give it to my sister, she's lucky."

Yun Jiao blinked and stared at the coconut snail. It seemed... there really was something there.

I took the day off yesterday because I had a cold and wasn't feeling well. Here's today's update!
