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

Chapter 26 Buying a Boat
Yun Jiao bared her teeth, wanting to bite, but the person was filthy and looked like they hadn't showered in a long time.

Yun Jiao was disgusted.

So I slapped him across the face.

"Aaaaah...I'm going to tell my mom on you!"

Yun Jiao kicked him: "Coward!"

Yun Xiaojiu: "You good-for-nothing who only knows how to tattle on your parents!"

In the end, Yun Zhuangzhuang and his cousin were beaten and driven away in disgrace.

Yun Xiaojiu immediately complained, "Fifth Brother, when you were fighting just now, Yun Zhuangzhuang tried to hit you with a rock."

Yun Xiaowu roared in fury: "That bastard, next time I see him I'll beat him so badly his own mother wouldn't recognize him!"

This trip not only prevented me from playing marbles, but also ruined my mood because of Yun Zhuangzhuang.

When they returned, their faces were all long and sullen.

What's even more infuriating is that Cai Jinhua and her sister, who is also the mother of Yun Zhuangzhuang's cousin, actually came to their door to cause trouble.

"Look what you've done to our two sons! Why did you have so many children if you don't know how to raise them? And that little bitch of yours even dared to slap my son's face! Hand her over, I'm going to teach her a lesson today!"

Shen Yunlian and Wang Mei turned around, each grabbing a broom and starting to hit people.

“My child is very well-behaved. Cai Jinhua, have you eaten shit? Who do you think you are, trying to discipline my Jiaojiao? You should discipline your own son first!”

Yun Xiaowu rushed over: "Mother, Auntie's Yun Zhuangzhuang tried to hit me on the head with a rock, and my sister saw it and hit him."

Yun Xiaoqi: "Mother, Yun Zhuangzhuang called his cousin to beat us up and won't let us play with marbles."

"That's right, we would have been at a huge disadvantage if we hadn't outnumbered each other."

So the two women fought even harder: "You shameless bastard, you even tried to hit people with stones! You're the one who's blaming first, aren't you? Since you haven't raised your child well, then we adults will teach you a lesson, you mother!"

Cai Jinhua and her sister were driven away.

"You bunch of lunatics, just you wait, I won't let this go!" Cai Jinhua threatened as she left.

But no one took her words to heart.

"Is Jiaojiao injured?"

Shen Yunlian and Wang Mei checked the child from head to toe, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was not injured.

Grandma Yun also came out.

“That Cai Jinhua is becoming more and more shameless. If children are taught like this, something bad will happen to them sooner or later.”

She raised her daughter like a slave, and spoiled her son to an extreme degree. No matter what mistakes Yun Zhuangzhuang made, she would run after him and unreasonably clean up his messes.

“Our Jiaojiao is so well-behaved. We don’t cause trouble, but we’re not afraid of trouble either.”

Yun Jiao nodded: "Grandma, it smells so good."

"The food is ready, we're just waiting for your grandpa and the others to come back for dinner."

"Yun Xiaowu, go and call your grandpa and the others."

"understood."

The workers building the house are only provided with one meal at noon; they eat at their own homes in the afternoon.

Food was scarce that year, and no family in the village would provide three meals a day.

The family gathered together for dinner, and Grandma Yun picked up a garlic moon shell and put it into Yun Jiao's bowl.

"Thank you grandma."

The clams were steamed, and the garlic and chili sauce on top was prepared before steaming. The meat was very tender and delicious.

There wasn't much chili or garlic, but it was enough to bring out the aroma.

If there were no restrictions, Yun Jiao could take on more than a dozen people by herself!

Unfortunately, there aren't that many here in total.

"Today, Jiaojiao and Xiaowu found a big yellow croaker while beachcombing. It weighed 5.2 jin (2.6 kg). I've never seen such a big yellow croaker before. We also had some blood clams. Our family made 34.9 yuan today."

The whole family was overjoyed to hear the news.

Uncle Yun said, "We'll go see the boat tomorrow, and if it's possible, we'll buy it right away. Our family's life will only get better and better."

Upon hearing this, Yun Jiao looked up and said in a soft, coquettish voice, "Father, I want to go too." Children learn on their own, no teacher needed.

She also wanted to see the boat. It would be great if she could just take a boat back. Even if she couldn't go out to sea, it would be nice to get closer to it.

“Okay, Jiaojiao will go with her father tomorrow.”

…………

They wanted to buy a second-hand wooden boat, and they had already contacted the owner beforehand, so when they arrived, the owner took them directly to see the boat.

"Although this wooden boat is a bit old, we have maintained it well and there is no damage. It is eight meters long, and it is definitely worth the price of 320 yuan."

Yunlin Hai went to inspect the boat; he wouldn't feel at ease unless he saw it himself.

Yun Jiao had already capsized inside the boat.

The boat smelled of fish and sea, and it was a bit dirty.

An eight-meter-long wooden boat is quite large.

The boat is fine, but we still need to negotiate the price.

The final price was negotiated down to three hundred and ten.

"Could you send me a fishing rod?"

Yun Jiao pointed to the fishing rod placed in the corner. It was actually made of bamboo, with a fishing line and hook hanging on it.

At that time, they didn't sell professional fishing rods; most were homemade.

However, very few people go out to sea to fish; they mostly catch fish or set traps.

"Take it, this fishing rod has hardly been used."

"Thank you."

Yun Jiao thanked him sweetly, her voice soft and pleasant, which made the uncle who gave her the fishing rod feel comfortable.

When Yun Jiao picked up the fishing rod, she felt it was a bit heavy, but she had no problem holding it with her current strength.

"Father, shall we sail back?"

At this moment, Yun's father rubbed his hands excitedly; their family finally had a boat of their own.

"Get on the boat, and Dad will row."

Uncle Yun grew up by the sea. Although his family had never owned a boat before, they often worked on other boats, so they naturally knew how to operate them.

Soon, their newly purchased boat was sailing on the sea.

"Jiaojiao, sit tight, we're going out to sea."

You could tell how happy he was just from his voice.

The village where they bought the boat is adjacent to Bailong Village, so the distance isn't too far, but it still takes a while to row.

Yun Jiao sat steadily on the boat, a small, soft, white woman fiddling with her fishing rod.

She threaded the dried shrimp onto the fishing hook.

These are snacks her mother prepared for her; she uses them to fish.

The fishing hook with shrimp on it was thrown into the sea. Yun Jiao looked at the boundless ocean, and if she weren't afraid of worrying her father, she really wanted to jump in.

Compared to the vast ocean, their small fishing boats are negligible.

The wooden fishing boat moved slowly on the sea when suddenly a pulling force came from the fishing rod in my hand.

The sudden movement almost pulled Yun Jiao into the sea.

Yun Jiao reacted quickly and pulled the fish up with force.

It is a black sea bream weighing about two pounds, a common type of fish in coastal waters. The price is relatively cheap at the purchasing point, fluctuating around three or four cents.

Yun Jiao was quite satisfied with the two-pound fish she had traded for a dried shrimp.

She bent over, huffing and puffing, and tossed the fish aside.

She sat on the deck and took out all the dried shrimp she had on her; there were only twelve left.
