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

Chapter 446 Watching a Play at the Pear Garden
Yun Jiao tossed over a fish she had caught from the sea.

The clouded leopard lazily flicked its tail, then sniffed the fish, opened its mouth, grabbed it, and ran off.

Ying Chengye was very curious about the clouded leopard.

He has always been very interested in wild animals, especially large carnivorous predators.

But isn't it like delivering food to someone's doorstep if he goes to catch those large, ferocious beasts all by himself?
Following his junior sister has truly broadened his horizons.

"Jiaojiao, are there many wild animals on your island?"

Yun Jiao nodded: "Of course there are plenty."

"If you want to go see it, I'll take you sometime."

Now, Yun Jiao finished checking on the injured in the lake and then went to the horse farm.

The horse farm is specially fenced off to prevent wild animals from getting in.

The island is large enough that the fenced-off area is enough for the two horses to roam freely.

Every time Yun Jiao comes, she rides her horse to the coast for a spin.

"Senior brother, do you know how to ride a horse? I want to take them out for a ride."

Ying Chengye certainly knew how; he had previously gone to Inner Mongolia as an educated youth.

Because he knew how to treat livestock, his life as an educated youth was actually much easier than that of other educated youth. The local area mainly raised livestock such as cattle, sheep and horses, but there was no proper veterinarian.

He was a highly valued doctor in the area, capable of treating livestock.

When he left, the locals were very reluctant to see him go.

Ying Chengye was grateful for the care he received from the local villagers and even trained several apprentices, ensuring that the area would not be without veterinarians even after he left.

While working as an educated youth there, I naturally learned to ride a horse.

So Yunjiao took him on horseback and rode along the coast.

Yun Jiao was not even nine years old, and her legs were not long enough to reach the stirrups.

But none of this bothered her.

After letting the horses run as much as they wanted, Yun Jiao sent them back to the horse farm and fed them horse feed.

"Jiaojiao, now that your house on the island is finished, are you living here all by yourself?"

Yun Jiao shook her head, her eyes sparkling.

"I need to buy a batch of medical equipment and put it here. Third senior brother, can you help me? You can also live here. I go to the sea from time to time, and maybe I can bring back some wounded people from the sea."

Ying Chengye didn't refuse outright.

"Let me think about it."

Yun Jiao said "okay".

It was almost lunchtime, so we said goodbye to the little creatures in the lake and then left the island to go back.

Time flies, and Yun Xiaojiu's performance is about to begin. They even sent them tickets.

View from the front row.

So, amidst Yun Xiaoqi and Yun Xiaoba's excitement, the whole family boarded the train to the capital.

I originally wanted to take my grandmothers to the capital with me, but the persimmon orchard needs to be managed, so they can't leave.

After their persimmons gained a reputation, sales improved, and they hired villagers to pick persimmons every year, providing the villagers with some income annually.

So the Shen family treasures that persimmon grove now.

Furthermore, with the development over the years, persimmon cakes are not only sold in the city, but also in other cities.

Wang Jianlin had previously helped out, and three other provinces also purchased Shen's persimmon cakes, leading to a growing demand.

Grandma Shen and the others are now discussing and encouraging other villagers to plant persimmon trees, so that the whole village can make and sell dried persimmons and everyone can get rich together.

It's not that they're generous; it's just that their family alone can't supply that much.

Why not develop it into a collective industry for the village?

However, the key technology for making dried persimmons must be kept in the hands of only a few trustworthy people, otherwise everyone will know about it.

Who doesn't have a few relatives from other villages? They're all coming to ask, and they're all growing persimmons and making dried persimmons. Isn't this just creating more enemies for themselves? That would greatly reduce their village's advantage.

Grandma Shen and the others also wanted to visit the capital, but they simply didn't have the time.

We can only wait until later.

I've been to the capital several times before, but this time I was still shocked.

"Well... the buildings in the capital weren't like this when we came last time, were they? They weren't this tall."

"There are so many shops, and the things in these shops look so expensive."

The capital has developed so fast. It's only been a short time since I last came, and it feels like everything has changed.

They went to their own homes first.

It's great to have a house in the capital; you don't need to stay in a hotel when you come here, you can just go straight home.

The house is big, with many rooms, and it's comfortable.

"Hey, why is our house so clean?"

The weeds in the yard have all been cleared away.

"It must have been Third Brother and his gang who did it."

The room was clean, so all I had to do was put my luggage down and make the bed.

Their own house, such a large and beautiful courtyard house.

Everyone couldn't resist taking a few laps around the house.

Then we prepared to go to Master Yun Xiaoliu's house.

Old Hu, who was returning from a stroll, was passing by their house when he noticed the open door. He was immediately startled, wondering if a thief had broken in.

So he cautiously peeked out and immediately spotted Yun Jiao and the others.

"you……"

"Grandpa Hu."

Yun Jiao was more familiar with Old Hu, so she immediately greeted him.

"When did you arrive? Why didn't you send any news?"

"It's to give you a surprise."

Old Hu laughed heartily: "That's indeed a pleasant surprise. Xiao Liu hasn't finished school yet. How about we go pick him up from school together this afternoon?"

Everyone agreed, of course.

So in the afternoon, after school, Yun Xiaoliu walked out of the school gate chatting and laughing with her classmates, only to see a person standing at the school gate with an incredulous look on their face.

His classmate exclaimed, "Holy crap, that girl has blue hair and eyes!" "She's so cute!"

Some people possess a beauty that transcends national boundaries.

Yun Jiao clearly belongs to this type of person.

Her beauty is so striking that people from other countries would appreciate it.

Many people were looking at Yun Jiao at the school gate.

Some watched secretly, while others watched openly.

Hearing his classmates' voices, Yun Xiaoliu finally came to his senses, let out a yell, and ran outside.

This startled all his classmates.

Then they saw Yun Xiaoliu running towards those people.

I also heard the pretty little girl with blue hair call out "Sixth Brother".

Everyone:!!!
The pretty little girl with blue hair turned out to be their classmate's sister!
"When did you arrive? Why didn't you tell me? If you had told me, I would have taken the day off to pick you up."

"We just wanted to give you a surprise, so tell me if you're surprised or not."

Yun Xiaoqi patted his shoulder and said with a grin.

The three brothers standing together each have their own unique characteristics.

They were all good-looking. The boy, who was almost sixteen years old, had grown tall and slender. With the addition of martial arts training, Yun Xiaoliu, who used to be chubby, had also lost weight.

Yun Xiaoliu has a somewhat delicate and cute appearance, a carefree personality, a great ability to self-regulate, and a sunny and cheerful disposition, like a little sun.

Yun Xiaoqi has a handsome appearance, with shrewdness in his eyes, like a very calculating fox.

Yun Xiaoba and Yun Xiaoqi look very similar, but the biggest difference between them is their temperament.

Yun Xiaoba exudes a scholarly air, and his smile is gentle, like a refined young master raised by an ancient noble family.

The three brothers standing together, along with Yun Jiao, attracted a lot of attention.

"Let's go, let's go back first."

Back in the courtyard house, everyone sat together and chatted happily.

After the meal, they also gave gifts to people they knew in the area.

Among them was Mr. Wu.

He was also pleasantly surprised to see the Yun family.

Upon learning that they were mainly there to see Yun Xiaojiu's performance, which was being held at the Capital Opera House, the two old men immediately said they wanted to go too.

“We old men enjoy watching plays in our spare time, but we never expected that your son would be able to perform on stage.”

"In the blink of an eye, the children have all grown up."

Shen Yunlian and the others strongly agreed.

In the blink of an eye, Yun Jiao will be almost nine years old.

There are five days left until Yun Xiaojiu's performance.

During this time, they went to see the third brother, Yun Chennan.

Yun Chennan joined a research institute, majoring in physics and specializing in the research of mechanical devices.

He took two days off to spend time with his family.

Then they went to find Yun Xiaowu, who was training.

After Yun Xiaowu arrived here, he defeated all those who dared to defy him in a short period of time with his own abilities.

What a joke! In the water, he wasn't afraid of anyone except his sister.

Coach Li Jianwen was also very satisfied with him.

But this brat is really too rebellious.

Training sometimes requires weight control, but this brat keeps sneaking out to eat delicious food by climbing over the wall.

I'd rather double my training the next day than give up delicious food to control my weight.

Furthermore, he frequently provokes other team members during training and speaks in a sarcastic manner, making him a complete troublemaker.

But coaches generally like these talented but rebellious players, even if it's a bit of a headache.

This kind of rebelliousness is simply a matter of temperament in geniuses.

Yun Xiaowu felt refreshed after arriving here.

With so many talented brothers in the family, he was overshadowed in every way except for his fighting skills.

Now he's finally found his own path. In the national swimming team, he's the one who makes everyone else look ordinary.

That’s a blast!

"Come on, I'll take you to eat something delicious. I know a lamb rice noodle shop..."

Yun Xiaowu hooked his arms around the shoulders of his sixth and seventh brothers, said something to the coach, and then ran out with his family.

He knew all the good restaurants in the area inside and out.

The family spent a few days together and even went to watch Yun Xiaojiu's rehearsal.

On the day of the performance, apart from Yun Chennan who was unable to leave and his eldest and second eldest sons who were not at home, everyone else sat neatly in the audience.

The moment Yun Xiaojiu stepped onto the stage, even though everyone was wearing costumes and their makeup was so thick that their faces were almost unrecognizable, the Yun family recognized Yun Xiaojiu at first glance.

Everyone applauded with pride.

Yun Xiaojiu naturally saw her family members below the stage immediately.

However, after just one glance, he quickly became engrossed in his opera.

The performance came to a perfect close, and everyone applauded.

Then I went backstage to deliver the flowers.

The eldest son brought a bouquet of flowers, which Yun Jiao bought.

Teacher Xie was also there, and Yun Jiao ran over to greet her.

"Jiaojiao is here."

"Ninth Brother, this is for you. Your performance today was perfect."

Yun Xiaojiu pinched her cheek: "That's right, I'm your Ninth Brother."

They chuckled.

"Hurry up and remove your makeup, Teacher Xie, let's go out for dinner together."

Xie San Niang shook her head: "I won't go. I still have a lot of things to take care of. I'll have dinner with you all after I've finished taking care of them."

"Alright, Teacher Xie, Ninth Brother and I will be going now."
