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

Chapter 441

Yun Jiao didn't stay in Gangcheng for too long.

Because school is about to start.

Apart from the pink jadeite, all other jade stones need to be made into jewelry or carved into jadeite.

I strolled around the port city and bought quite a few things, such as a television and a washing machine.

This was bought by her godfather, who also said he would send someone to deliver it to her home in Haicheng.

Yun Jiao bought some clothes for her family, but not jewelry. Sun Yaotong made some directly from jade, though some pieces that required carving would take longer.

"It feels like we haven't had much time to play before school starts again."

Sun Yaoqin, who came to see Yunjiao off, was reluctant to part with her.

Both Sun Yaotong and his wife were busy and didn't have time to accompany Yun Jiao back to Haicheng, so they could only send people to protect her.

Although... she may not need protection, she is still young, and having an adult with her will reduce a lot of trouble.

Yun Jiao knew this herself, so she didn't refuse.

Yun Jiao chose to go back by boat. The boat was slower, but she liked the feeling of being at sea.

If it weren't for the fear of worrying the Sun family, Yun Jiao could have swum back much faster.

In those days, communication was inconvenient; people could only rely on sending telegrams or writing letters.

However, Yun Jiao discovered a type of landline phone in the port city, which could be installed in the village.

If she remembered correctly, her brother's unit, as well as the naval units stationed there, also had these landlines, or fixed-line telephones.

In large cities, there are also some workplaces, especially state-owned workplaces.

She had hardly ever seen a landline like that in rural areas.

Yun Jiao also bought one to take back with her, and her godfather said he would have someone come and help with the installation.

If it can be installed, then communication will be much more convenient in the future.

After a three-day sea voyage, we finally arrived at the sea city dock.

Yun Jiao, carrying her luggage, couldn't wait to push it home.

We arrived at Bailong Village in the afternoon.

When we were about 300 meters away from the village entrance, we heard the familiar barking of dogs.

"Wang Wang Wang..."

The family's two dogs were the first to notice her return.

Yun Xiaowu and his group of children were playing at the village entrance, and two dogs were lying under a tree at the village entrance, their heads facing the road as if waiting for something.

Today, I finally waited for the person.

Seeing how excited the two dogs were, Yun Jiao's brothers craned their necks to look. When they saw the familiar figure, they dropped the marbles in their hands and ran towards the road.

"Beautiful!"

The news of Yun Jiao's return quickly spread throughout the entire village.

Everyone knows that she was taken to another big city by her godfather, but no one knows what she was going to do there.

Yun Jiao received a warm welcome when she returned home.

She also took out the gifts she had brought.

"Father, Uncle and Grandpa's latest razors, Mother and Aunt's pearl necklaces, and this jade bracelet. I chose the Fu Shou Lu tricolor bracelet for you."

"This bracelet is really beautiful, how much does it cost?"

"Jiaojiao, you bought the island, and you don't have much money left, so why are you buying these things for us?"

Yun Jiao proudly put her hands on her hips: "I didn't buy it. This is jadeite that I cut from a rough stone I bought myself. The rough stone wasn't expensive, but the jadeite that came out was of very high quality, and I sold it for dozens of times more than the rough stone."

Everyone looked at her with shining eyes: "Tell us quickly."

So Yun Jiao told them about her trip, especially describing the jade pieces she had found.

The whole family was filled with excitement and pride upon hearing this.

“Our Jiaojiao is truly blessed with good luck; she’s never had bad luck since she was a child.”

Yun Jiao chuckled, thinking without any restraint that she felt the same way.

Of course, Yun Jiao later recounted cases of people going bankrupt because of gambling on jade, as well as the dangers they encountered along the way.

She said all this mainly to prevent her brothers from getting too excited and into gambling on stones when they went out to make their way in the world, or from getting into dangerous situations due to their lack of awareness. Grandma Yun understood her meaning and began to teach her children and grandchildren.

“You guys don’t have Jiaojiao’s skills, so don’t get involved in anything related to gambling. Otherwise, if something happens, don’t come back to this family.”

The family nodded repeatedly.

"I understand, Mother/Grandma."

Finally, Yun Jiao took out the complete, polished pink jade.

They even put a base on the table.

When the sparkling pink jade was placed on the base, everyone gasped.

Wang Mei: "My God, this is so beautiful!"

Women simply have no resistance to such beautiful jade.

Not to mention the women present, even the men were absolutely smitten.

This is truly beautiful, so beautiful it's almost dreamlike.

Yun Jiao tilted her head slightly, looking smug: "This will become one of my favorite collections."

As for why it's not the only one, Yun Jiao wants to say that her previous collections also included some particularly beautiful and pleasing pieces, and she's sure she'll find even more beautiful and pleasing ones in the future.

She wants to fill her treasure trove to the brim. She's still young, so there's no rush. She'll take it slow.

After everyone had admired the pink jade from every angle, she was asked to put it away.

"Don't break it."

"It's a pity that the houses on the island haven't been built yet, and neither has the treasure vault. Otherwise, you could have taken all these things over there directly. It just doesn't feel safe to leave them at home."

They knew very well that they had many treasures at home, so they were even more cautious, afraid that someone would find out and try to steal them.

Yun Jiao carried the pink jade upstairs.

After going downstairs, they continued distributing gifts.

Of the brothers' watches, only the third and fourth brothers have adult-style watches; the other brothers all have children's-style watches.

The watch strap is made of leather and looks very nice.

"We also made jade plaques for you, which will be carved with your zodiac animals. That will take a while to arrive."

Yun Xiaowu and the others were absolutely thrilled with the watch.

"It's okay, you can come anytime."

Shen Yunlian rolled her eyes at them.

"Your little sister has given you so many things. When you grow up and make money, don't forget your little sister."

"I know, I definitely won't forget."

Yun Xiaoqi: "When I grow up and start my own company, I'll give my little sister a share of the profits. Jiaojiao, you can just stay home and count your money."

Yun Jiao: "Then I'll be waiting for Seventh Brother."

The whole family is enjoying themselves.

Yun Jiao stayed with them at home for a few days and also went to check on the progress of the house construction on the island.

Two days before the start of the school term, a small truck carrying televisions, washing machines, and landline phones arrived.

Now their family no longer needs to hide their talents.

Therefore, all the necessary appliances should be arranged.

The village chief's family already had a television; they weren't the only ones doing it. So, although the villagers were envious, once the novelty wore off, they didn't react much.

Indeed, their family was the first in the village to own a washing machine.

However, most people's attention was drawn to the landline phone that could be used to make calls.

Yun Jiao didn't put the landline in her own home, but handed it over to the village.

What a joke! They have many secrets. They have their landline installed at home, so anyone who wants to call can come over. If they can't make a call, they'll show no mercy.

So to avoid this situation, let's leave it to the village chief to arrange.

Of course, making calls from a landline at this time would incur telephone charges, payable hourly, and it wasn't cheap.
