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

Chapter 151: Nothing Wasted
Yun Chennan: "My family are fishermen. I have specifically looked into those marine creatures and asked my teacher. Tridacna is listed as a marine protected animal because its numbers are too small, so we released it back into the sea just to be on the safe side."

Grandpa Yun nodded: "I see. It's better to be cautious."

"Because giant clams can produce pearls and their shells can be made into handicrafts that nobles like, a lot of them have indeed been caught."

Yun Jiao: "Is it the same as a hawksbill sea turtle?"

Grandpa Yun nodded: "Pretty much, so there are fewer and fewer of those things now. Just let them go. Even if you don't let them go, I won't let you take them back."

These creatures are too few in number. Everything needs balance. Their existence has its reasons; unrestrained overhunting will only anger the ocean.

Grandpa Yun took this opportunity to educate his children and grandchildren.

"We can't do things that are immoral and immoral just to make money. Think about it, if there were no regulation and restraint, all the hawksbill turtles and giant clams, big and small, would be hunted and killed."

People will probably never see these things again, and other animals that depend on them for survival will certainly be affected. Won't the fish in the ocean become fewer and fewer?

"We fishermen are blessed by the sea, and we must also protect it. So when we fish, we shouldn't kill everything in the sea..."

Everyone listened attentively.

Grandpa Yun may not be highly educated, but he is a smart and very experienced old man.

It is said that having an elder in the family is like having a treasure, but of course, this depends on the person.

People like Grandpa Yun and Grandma Yun are the real treasures.

"And there are coconut crabs too, Grandpa, we found three coconut crabs."

Yun Xiaowu and Yun Xiaoqi excitedly took the coconut crab out of the sack.

"Grandpa, look, this coconut-eating crab is huge! It can even climb trees. We caught five, but the other two were too small, so we released them."

Yun Jiao nodded: "Grandpa, we've been good, haven't we?"

Grandma Yun chuckled and patted Yun Jiao's head.

"Good girl, good girl, our Jiaojiao is the best."

Grandpa Yun was also surprised when he saw the coconut crab: "Coconut crab? These things are rare these days."

Yunlinhe: "We've eaten this before. We haven't seen coconut crabs in the coconut grove next to our village for several years now."

“Woooooo~~~”

Just as they were having a good time, Yun Jiao heard the cry of a whale shark.

"The whale shark is here."

She stood up.

Upon hearing this, the others also stood up and followed Yun Jiao to see the whale shark.

Aside from Yunlinhai and Yunlinhe, I've only heard of the others and haven't actually seen them yet.

"Wow!!!"

Shock, nothing but shock.

That whale shark was so beautiful and so big!

Yun Xiaowu was so excited she wanted to jump into the sea: "Is that the whale shark you were talking about, sister? It's huge! Does it really only eat small fish and shrimp?"

Yun Jiao nodded: "Let's go, let's feed it some oysters."

Thanks to the efforts of so many people, we have now opened three large buckets of oyster meat.

There aren't many pearls left, not even as many as the first batch. There are only fifteen, five of which are very small and unsellable.

Carrying the oyster meat, they excitedly went to the boat.

Yun Jiao mimicked the whale shark's vocalizations and called out a few times. The whale shark then approached them.

Its massive body circled their boat, and it even poked its head out of the water to greet Yun Jiao.

"Brothers, would you like to touch it?"

"of course yes!"

Yun Xiaowu and the others were incredibly excited, carefully placing their hands on the whale shark's huge mouth.

"Ahhh...why don't we have a camera?!"

It's such a shame that this scene wasn't captured on camera!
If he doesn't take a picture, how is he going to brag to his friends when he gets back? They've never seen a whale shark before, so they can't even imagine it.

"Mother, Auntie, would you like to touch it?"

Yun Jiao's main goal is to take care of the whole family, so that no one's trip is in vain.

The two women were also excited; such a big fish! They went closer and carefully touched the whale shark.

The excitement in his eyes was obvious.

Wang Mei: "Oh my, this thing is huge! It's much bigger than our boat. I wonder how much it eats in a day. All the oysters we have can feed it."

Yun Jiao: "No need to feed them until they're full."

"Let it taste."

"How do I feed him? How do I feed him? I'll do it, I'll do it."

Yun Xiaowu wants to feed the whale shark.

But others want to too.

They almost got into a fight over it.

Then the boys were suppressed by their two fathers.

"Here, this is Jiaojiao's friend. Why are you all getting involved?"

Yun Xiaowu covered his head where he had been hit: "I am Jiaojiao's brother, and Jiaojiao's friends are my friends."

Yun Xiaoqi: "Exactly!"

Yun Jiao carried a bucket of oyster meat, but this time she didn't throw the oyster meat into the sea as before. Instead, she patted the mouth of the whale shark.

"Open your mouth."

The whale shark obediently opened its mouth.

As you get closer, the whale shark's mouth becomes even more frightening.

Yun Xiaojiu's eyes widened, and she didn't dare to get too close: "How many of me could that big mouth swallow!"

Yun Jiao directly poured the oyster meat into its mouth.

After eating, the whale shark closes its mouth and slides back into the sea.

It's very happy.

They circled their boat twice more.

The remaining two buckets are for the orcas. There are many orcas, and they were the ones who helped catch the bluefin tuna last time, so naturally more will be left for them.

"Grandpa, Grandma, I'm going to play in the sea!"

After saying that, Yun Jiao jumped into the sea.

But then several thuds followed.

“Sister, we’re here too! We want to play with this giant whale shark too.”

Fine.

Yun Jiao decided to let them experience what it's like to ride a whale shark in the sea.

Whale sharks have just eaten their oysters, and given their docile nature, they naturally don't mind a few humans on their backs.

Seawater has buoyancy, so carrying several children on your back won't be too heavy.

However, Yun Xiaowu and the others didn't dare to all rush up at once.

Apart from Yun Jiao, who was always on the field, only two of the other children went up.

"Xiao Jiu and Xiao Ba, go up first."

At this moment, Yun Xiaowu was starting to act like an older brother, letting his younger brothers experience things first.

Yun Jiao sat atop the whale shark's head, acting like a driver: "Let's go!"

Yun Xiaojiu and Yun Xiaoba felt the whale shark move and shouted excitedly.

The parents on the boat watched with smiles on their faces.

Yunlinhe stroked his chin: "How about we go buy a camera?"

He also felt it was a real shame that this moment wasn't captured in a photograph.

"If Jiaojiao gets to know other fish in the sea in the future, it would be such a pity if we didn't record it and look back on it when she grows up without even a photo."

Others: That makes a lot of sense.
