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

Chapter 20 Jiaojiao Spreads Marbles

The boy was really frightened, his face streaked with snot and tears, and he stood there dumbfounded.

"what are you doing?"

The old woman was unhappy to see her grandson being scolded.

"With such a bad temper, how will this young lady ever get married?"

Yun Chenxi was furious: "Then you don't need to worry about it. You should worry about your own grandson and not spoil him."

"What kind of manners do they have, bullying an old woman and a child like me?"

"And what kind of character do you have? You let your grandson beg for food. Let him go beg on the street."

"you……"

"Shut up, or you'll get off the bus."

The driver lost his temper, but the old woman was still afraid of really abandoning them halfway.

Yun Chenxi rolled his eyes and fell silent.

After this incident, Yun Jiao was not very happy.

My good mood was ruined.

Their mood improved when they arrived in town. Yunlinhe even touched the money he had hidden, feeling at ease only after touching that familiar spot.

"Let's go back soon."

"I'll take the things. Second brother, you carry Jiaojiao on your back and we'll walk back."

There are no buses to their village, and now there are no tractors either, so they have to walk back.

I haven't eaten yet, and I'm starving.

Yunlinhe simply decided to have a bowl of noodles first.

Yun Jiao wasn't very hungry; she had eaten two steamed egg cakes in the car.

But she still slurped up a bowl of noodles.

After eating and drinking her fill, she walked the first half of the way on her own with her short legs, and only had her second brother carry her back for the second half.

Back in familiar surroundings, Yun Linhe and Yun Chenxi both relaxed.

"Uncle, Second Brother, Sister!!!"

Before we even reached the village entrance, a few mischievous kids came running over, shouting loudly, accompanied by the barking of two big yellow dogs.

"You are finally back!"

Yun Xiaowu rushed over like a few cannonballs: "Let me see what you bought."

"Little sister, why didn't you wake me up? If you had, I could have come with you."

Yun Chenxi smiled and put Yun Jiao down.

"Dream on, don't go back and look at it again."

When they arrived at the village entrance, the old ladies and aunties sitting under the locust tree, weaving nets, craned their necks, their eyes practically glued to the contents of their bags.

"Lin He, you went to the city? What did you buy?"

Yun Linhe smiled and said, "I just bought a few things."

"Grandma Wang, you two continue chatting, we're heading back now."

After saying that, he hurriedly left with Yun Xiaowu and the others, afraid that if they were a step too slow, some unrefined people would immediately start rummaging through their belongings.

This kind of thing happens frequently in the village.

Upon arriving home, all the Yun family children surrounded Yun Linhe and Yun Chenxi, bombarding them with questions, making them almost as noisy as a flock of ducks.

"What did you buy? Is there anything to eat?"

"Wow, it's a sponge cake! I want to eat it! I want to eat it!"

"And White Rabbit milk candy, Uncle, how could you be so generous?"

"Holy crap, canned food!!!"

As soon as Yun Xiaowu shouted, everyone's eyes fell on the two cans, their eyes shining.

Yun Chenxi patted his troublesome younger brother on the head: "Don't swear, I've told you so many times."

Yun Xiaowu, who had been hit, didn't care. He was so excited that he jumped and bounced around with the can of food in his hand.

"Canned food, canned food! This one's meat, braised pork canned food! This one's peach canned food! Hahahaha, I'm eating canned food now!"

These things are not cheap, especially the canned goods, which made Old Man Yun and Old Woman Yun feel very distressed.

"Why did you buy so much stuff? You're such a spendthrift! How much money did this cost?"

As she spoke, Old Lady Yun patted Yun Linhe's arm a few times in annoyance. Yun Linhe scratched his head: "I was just thinking that it's a rare trip to the city."

Yun Jiao said in a soft, sweet voice, "Grandma, it's Jiaojiao who wants to buy it."

Grandma Yun: "Don't buy so much, it must cost a lot of money..."

"not much."

Yun Jiao gestured with her little hands: "There are so many bills, but Uncle only gave one to Jiao Jiao."

After Yun Jiao finished speaking, she took out the box of glass marbles and shook it, and a crisp tinkling sound immediately came from inside.

"Brother, marbles."

Upon hearing her words, the brothers immediately surrounded her.

"Let me see, please let me see."

Once opened, the beautiful marbles instantly became the prized possessions of the boys.

"Glass marbles!"

Yun Jiao was holding a box of glass marbles.

"One older brother has ten marbles, and Jiaojiao is born."

She sat on a small stool, proudly crossing her short legs.

"Fifth brother stands first, sixth brother second, and the other brothers stand in order of age."

The Yun family elders watched with amusement as Yun Jiao played glass marbles.

Yun Xiaowu grinned, clasping his hands together.

"Little sister, I want one red one, one blue one, three with patterns, and two white ones..."

Yun Xiaowu chose hers first, while the others craned their necks anxiously, afraid that their favorites would be taken away.

Yun Jiao's fair hands picked through the glass marbles; the glass beads looked as beautiful as expensive pearls in her hands.

"Here, for Fifth Brother."

The same applies to the following ones.

After she had finished distributing food to her five older brothers, she clapped her hands and went to distribute the food herself.

If she doesn't give it to them, Grandma and the others definitely won't be willing to eat it.

"Jiaojiao, don't you have any glass marbles? I'll give you three to play with."

“I’ll give you three too,” Yun Xiaoliu said, leaning closer.

The same goes for the others.

Five of them have three marbles each, so the younger sister has more glass marbles than the other two.

Yun Jiao shook her head: "No, I'll watch my brothers play."

The brothers were incredibly touched; their sister is truly the best in the world.

Grabbing a handful of White Rabbit milk candies, Yun Jiao started throwing a tantrum again, running all over the room.

Of course, she didn't skimp on her own appetite, peeling one and popping it into her mouth.

Today was arguably the happiest day for the Yun family's children, as they enjoyed not only delicious food but also fun activities.

Everything that was to be distributed has been distributed. Grandma Yun locked up the rest, planning to eat a little bit every day.

The Yun brothers ran off with their marbles, shouting as they went, most likely to show off to the other kids in the village.

The adults in the family gathered together and then started talking about serious matters.

Yunlinhe took out the money directly.

Upon seeing that money, the rest of the family gasped in shock, their eyes widening in disbelief.

"So...so much?!"

Yun Linhe said with a beaming smile, "That's right, who would have thought that such a small bead would be so valuable."

"I sold a total of 1500 yuan worth of goods, spent 10 yuan of them, and the rest are here."

The money for the round-trip bus fare and the noodles came from the family. Apart from the ten yuan given to Yunjiao by the pearl seller, the rest of the money was untouched.

Yun Jiao slammed her hand on the table: "Build a beautiful big house."

"Good good..."

Grandma Yun wiped away the faint tears from the corners of her eyes: "Let's build a big house!"

Grandpa Yun said, "Now that you two brothers are here, I'll get straight to the point. Use this money to build two houses, and once they're finished, the family will divide the property."
