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

Chapter 207 The Popular Yun Jiao
After finally managing to get rid of those overly enthusiastic people, by the time they found Grandma Yun, the first batch of pork cracklings had been cooked!
Yun Jiao: (ω)
He didn't even care about the camera; he shoved it into his cousin's hand and ran off.

He grabbed a piece of pork crackling with a good balance of fat and lean meat, and without even worrying about burning himself, he popped it into his mouth.

Click click click...

Crispy and caramelized, delicious!
Grandma Yun: "Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you, and don't you think it's too hot?"

Yun Jiao: It's a little hot, but it tastes delicious.

Grandma Yun took out some pork cracklings and shared them with the children around her.

"Thank you, Grandma Yun!"

Yun Jiao ate the pork cracklings and watched as Grandma Yun gave a larger portion to one of the dazed-looking little boys.

She knew that person; he was the notorious little idiot in their village.

But Grandma said that we shouldn't join those children in calling him a fool; someone like him should be called a village guardian.

The village guardians are responsible for protecting the village from disasters and difficulties, which is why they are intellectually disabled.

The silly-looking little boy was about the same age as Yun Xiaowu and the others. He even knew to find leaves to catch Grandma Yun's pork cracklings, then he smiled foolishly and thanked her. He happily found a place to sit down and started eating the pork cracklings.

Yun Jiao watched for a while, and he seemed to have noticed. He grinned foolishly and handed her the pork cracklings in his hand.

"Eat, it's delicious."

Yun Jiao shook her head: "I have my own."

She didn't get too close.

It's not that I think he's stupid, but that I think he's dirty.

Her hair was a mess, and she couldn't tell how long ago she'd washed it. She could see fleas on her; she hoped they wouldn't fall on her.

"Jiaojiao."

Hearing someone call her name, Yun Jiao took out two White Rabbit milk candies, stuffed them into the boy's hand, and ran away.

Judging from the voices, it was her uncle and cousins ​​who had arrived!

The pork stew from each family is pretty much the same; although it's cooked in a large pot, it's very delicious.

The congealed pig's blood was cut into small pieces and cooked with Chinese cabbage, making it very fragrant.

Before the meal, there is another important thing to do, which is to worship our ancestors.

Along with Yun Jiao, they all went to the main room where the ancestral tablets were kept to burn paper money.

Then set off firecrackers.

Setting off firecrackers is the part that children love the most.

Although the string of firecrackers ended very quickly.

They only started their meal after their ancestors had finished eating.

They are very generous with their pork stew, putting in a lot of meat.

Everyone enjoyed the meal.

Yunlin Hai even brought out sorghum liquor; it's Chinese New Year, so of course you have to drink to your heart's content.

A lively day has passed, but things are not over yet.

For the next two days, the whole family had to clean up the pork.

When making cured meat, sausages, or smoked pork, the pork must be processed as quickly as possible to prevent it from rotting easily.

Without refrigerators, these are the most primitive methods of storing pork.

While they were wrapping sausages, Yun Jiao and the others grabbed several pieces of meat from the seasoned meat bowl and took them to the stove to fry.

"It would be great if we could slaughter pigs every day for the Lunar New Year."

As Yun Xiaowu ate the delicious meat, he made an unrealistic wish.

Yun Jiao: "Then brother can raise lots and lots of pigs, and kill them whenever he wants in the future."

Yun Xiaowu: "Great idea! Let's ask Grandpa and Grandma to buy more piglets."

At that time, he naively thought that pigs ate very little and could be raised casually.

After the Little New Year, the village becomes lively again.

You can hear the sound of firecrackers going off every now and then.

Yun Xiaowu and his friends had a pocket full of firecrackers. These were spoils of war they got after taking apart a string of firecrackers from their house and getting a good scolding.

Of course, once outside, they never mentioned getting a spanking. They carried firecrackers and walked around like triumphant roosters, heads held high and chests puffed out, with an air of arrogance that made them seem like they didn't recognize anyone.

But it must be said that with so many firecrackers in their pockets, they were indeed the coolest kids in the village.

Yun Jiao followed behind her brothers and received a lot of snacks.

They were all bribes from those who wanted to play with firecrackers.

These snacks aren't anything expensive; most of them are homemade roasted peanuts, melon seeds, soybeans, and the like.

But if the bribery was successful, Yun Jiao or Yun Xiaowu would slip them a firecracker, and then they would happily go play.

Yun Xiaowu's school has already started winter break.

I had a really great time during the Chinese New Year holiday.

At the same time, their family also received a package.

Eldest brother, second brother, Fu Mingyu has already sent them.

He also wrote them a letter wishing them a Happy New Year.

Of course, Yun Jiao and the others also sent packages to the three of them.

Before we knew it, it was time for Lunar New Year's Eve and the Spring Festival.

Yun Jiao was dressed up like a lucky doll, wearing a beautiful red jacket, her hair was tied into pretty little braids with red hair ties, and a round red dot was placed between her eyebrows.

"Today we're going to the Mazu Temple and the Dragon King Temple to offer incense. Our Jiaojiao looks like a little fairy, she's sure to win the favor of Mazu and the Dragon King."

If they like it, won't their shipping business be even better next year?
"Let's go, let's go offer incense."

Holding Yunjiao in their arms, the family, carrying incense and candles, headed to the Mazu Temple and the Dragon King Temple.

People living by the sea generally believe in Mazu, the goddess who protects everyone at sea.

Therefore, there are a lot of people visiting the Mazu Temple today.

Not only people from their village, but also people from the surrounding villages that rely on the sea for their livelihood, will go there.

Although Yun Jiao was small, she stood out quite a bit when she rode on Yun Linhai's shoulders.

There are many children like Yun Jiao who ride on their fathers' shoulders, but she stands out from the crowd on this track.

Simply put, it's beautiful!
With these little mascots dressed up like this, who wouldn't take a second look?

The other children dressed in red weren't as pretty as her; she was a chubby, fair-skinned, soft, and delicate little girl with a red dot between her eyebrows.

People would believe it if they heard it was a fairy descended to earth.

Even when she went to offer incense, the monk next to her who was striking the wooden fish couldn't help but glance at her several times.

Yun Jiao stuffed a large denomination bill into the donation box in front of the Mazu statue, and like everyone else, knelt on the prayer mat and bowed three times.

The monk next to her, striking a wooden fish, uttered words of blessing and patted her head.

After the family left, Yun Xiaowu scratched his head: "Why didn't that master pat my head?"

Yun Xiaojiu muttered, "He didn't even touch my head."

Yun Xiaoqi: "I saw it. The master touched Jiaojiao's head, but he didn't touch the other children's heads."

Yun Linhai and his friends proudly said, "Who can blame them when our Jiaojiao looks so beautiful today?"

Yun Jiao corrected, "I look good all the time!"

The merman's beauty is undeniable; even in a different world, she is still a miniature version of the merman's body from her previous life.

She's the most beautiful!

Just as she was feeling proud, someone suddenly ran over and grabbed her hand.

"What an adorable child! Please let me share in your good fortune, thank you!"

After touching her, I immediately shoved a handful of candy into her hand.

Yun Jiao: ? ? ?
The eyes of those around him lit up.

Yun Jiao: …………

Oh no, she had a bad feeling.
