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

Chapter 54 Another Journey to the Sea

Buying fabric and making clothes for such a large family will take a lot of time.

There are already small shops selling ready-made clothing.

But ready-made clothes are too expensive; it's more cost-effective to buy fabric and make them yourself.

Unfortunately, there was no sewing machine at home, so Shen Yunlian, Wang Mei, and Grandma Yun could only mend their clothes by candlelight at night.

They were all very good at needlework, and the clothes they made for their families were sturdy and durable.

Yun Jiao would occasionally sit on the bed, propping her chin up as she watched her mother sew clothes.

Shen Yunlian would also teach her.

She became interested, so she took the battle line and sewed it together with the scraps of cloth her mother had cut off.

Then they made an ugly doll that looked like a mishmash of different shapes.

When Yun Chenbei saw it, he immediately dismantled and remodeled it. Two days later, Yun Jiao got a very colorful but very beautiful Ragdoll kitten.

She loved it.

"Fourth brother, how are you so amazing!"

Yun Chenbei's lips curled up: "This is not difficult. You are still young, so you can't do it now. You'll be able to when you grow up."

He picked up a piece of wood and continued carving on it.

Since his works started to sell, he has devoted more of his energy to these carvings and other handicrafts.

"Fourth brother, please make this into a pretty necklace for me."

Yun Jiao took out her fishtail-shaped pearl.

Yun Chenbei held it in his hand and looked at it for a while, then shook his head: "Not now. Let me find some books to learn first, and I'll make it for you when I have better materials."

"Okay, then you can hold onto the pearls for me. They're likely to get lost if I leave them here."

She specifically asked her mother to bring it so that her fourth brother could make a necklace for her, and it's fine to leave it with her fourth brother now.

Yun Chenbei nodded and carefully placed the pearl into his most treasured little box.

There's still no news about my older brothers.

Although I was getting a little anxious while waiting, I still had to do what needed to be done.

The weather was great that day, perfect for going out to sea.

Yunlin Hai and Yunlin He were both thinking about what was on the island, so they prepared to set sail before dawn.

The day before, Yun Jiao had hung the ornament around her father's neck, repeatedly urging him to make sure she was included.

If you don't invite her, she'll cry at home all day!

Under this threat, after washing up, Yun Linhai went to the room where his son and daughter slept and took out his daughter, who was sleeping in the innermost soft ball.

Yun Jiao was still holding the tabby cat plush toy that her fourth brother had given her.

"Daddy?"

The little girl was still sleepy. After being woken up, she reluctantly opened her eyes. When she saw who was holding her, she slumped limply in his arms like a boneless creature.

Her soft hair was fluffy and a little messy, her chubby little arms wrapped around Yun Linhai's neck like lotus roots, and she fell asleep with her chin resting on her father's shoulder.

Like a precious and soft kitten.

"Still out at sea, sleeping so soundly."

Yun Linhai, holding his daughter, left the room without even glancing at his sons who were sleeping soundly on their backs.

Shen Yunlian also woke up, changed her daughter's clothes, and simply combed her hair into a low ponytail.

"Let her sleep if she wants to. It won't hurt to give her a small blanket to put on the boat so she can continue sleeping."

Yun Linhai nodded, took the small blanket handed to him by Shen Yunlian, wrapped the person up, and prepared to leave.

Shen Yunlian called out to him, "Wait a minute."

She quickly went inside and grabbed a basket, a fan made of bamboo leaves, and Yun Jiao's small bag.

The small package contained a boiled egg, some dried small fish and shrimp, and several steamed sweet potato pancakes wrapped in oil paper.

"There's food in here. We put the basket on the boat so she can sleep inside. When the sun gets too strong, she can also hide inside to avoid it."

Shen Yunlian gave her careful instructions.

Yun Linhai listened attentively.

He only spoke gently when he heard Yunlinhe's shouts from outside.

"Okay, I've got it all in mind."

Then he packed everything into a basket, carried his daughter in one arm and the basket in the other, and went outside. Outside, Yunlinhe was holding the giant sea turtle.

"This thing is really heavy!"

Yun Chendong walked out of the room with a fishing net in his hand.

Yunlinhe couldn't wait: "Let's go, we can set off the traps today!"

That's right, Yun Chendong will be going along today too.

Yun Chenxi actually wanted to go too. Compared to helping out at the new house, going out to sea to fish was obviously much more interesting.

But that little wooden boat doesn't need so many people.

Ultimately, it was decided that Yun Chendong and Yun Chenxi would take turns going.

Three adults took a child to the dock.

Other diligent fishermen at the dock were also preparing to go out to sea to fish.

"Lin Hai, why did you bring Jiao Jiao along?"

Passersby saw the person Yun Linhai was hugging and immediately made fun of him.

"What's wrong? Is your little Jiaojiao a lucky star who can bring you good fortune?"

Yun Linhai nodded: "That's right, my Jiaojiao is a lucky star."

"Is Chen Dong going today too?"

Yunlinhe chimed in, "Why don't we go out to sea together and give it a try? Newbies are lucky, maybe we can catch something good today."

Before they knew it, they had reached their boats, and everyone went their separate ways, rowing their own boats out to sea.

Yunlinhai and Yunlinhe first rowed a boat to a secluded spot near the sea, and found a beach where almost no one came to set up a fish trap.

It's 5:30 now, the best time to put in the trap.

After the tide comes in, there should be some fish left in the traps when they come back.

Only after setting the traps did they actually row away.

Yun Chendong made a small nest for Yun Jiao on the boat using that basket, and the tiny girl was curled up inside, sleeping soundly.

The sea turtle was right next to the basket, as if guarding Yun Jiao.

As dawn broke and they approached the island, she woke up.

Yun Jiao opened her eyes, completely bewildered, not knowing where she was.

She sat up when she heard her father and brother's voices, and then cautiously peeked out from behind the basket with her little hands.

With a hint of confusion and caution, she first looked around at her surroundings with her bright, clear eyes.

So you were on a boat.

Her father and the others took her out to sea!

Yun Jiao's eyes lit up.

Let her see what her father and the others are doing.
Yunlin Hai and his team were pulling up the net.

This time, instead of heading straight for the island, they cast their nets at intervals in the sea.

However, we didn't catch anything big; it was mostly small, worthless fish and shrimp, and a few crabs, but not many of them.

"It seems there's nothing here. Let's go to the island."

In comparison, casting a net is not as profitable as fishing on the island.

Yun Chendong turned his head and met a pair of bright, sparkling eyes.

A slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Jiaojiao is awake."

He walked over and picked up the little guy.

Yun Jiao took the opportunity to hug her older brother's neck.

Yun Chendong: "Are you hungry? Do you want some water?"

Yun Jiao nodded and mumbled in a soft voice, "I'm hungry."

Yun Chendong sat cross-legged on the boat, placing the little girl between his legs, just big enough to fit her in.

Then I took out the breakfast I had prepared.

A boiled egg and a warm pancake.
