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

Chapter 317

Holding a group of small yellow croakers still thrashing about in the net, Yun Jiao smiled at the two sea turtles swimming towards her, revealing her white teeth.

"Here's some for you to eat."

She was also holding a few small yellow croakers in her little hands, as an extra treat for the two sea turtles.

"Let's go, go back."

The two net bags I brought were almost full; it was time to go home.

Swimming all the way to the shore, Yun Jiao tossed aside the two full nets and said goodbye to the two sea turtles.

"I'll come visit you guys again in a few days. Go back now."

The two sea turtles slowly returned to the ocean.

She was small in stature, yet she carried a huge bundle home.

We met some villagers on the way.

"Jiaojiao, you went to the sea again? Goodness, you brought back so much stuff?!"

Everyone was stunned.

Yun Jiao nodded, her chubby little face beaming with a smile.

"Yes, we've encountered a school of fish."

"It's still a school of small yellow croakers. It's a pity you didn't bring a fishing net or a boat, otherwise you could have caught even more."

Yun Jiao's voice was still a little childish, and even though she tried to act mature, she couldn't get rid of the childish tone.

"That's enough for tomorrow."

"Eat it yourself?"

"Hey, you don't know yet, do you? Jiaojiao's family is hosting a party tomorrow, and the whole village can come to eat. They say it's to celebrate Yun Chennan getting into university."

"With his grades, he'll definitely have no problem getting into Tsinghua or Peking University."

"What? You're eating so well? Jiaojiao, you're not using all this to treat your guests, are you?"

He could see that there were also lobsters and abalone in the other net.

Hmm... How much money would these things make if we sold them?

Seeing Yun Jiao nod, they all felt sorry for Yun Linhai's family.

"Jiaojiao is really capable; we can't catch these things."

This little Yun Jiao can dive to the bottom of the sea; even adults who have lived by the sea for half their lives don't have that ability.

"Come on, Uncle will help you carry these things back."

Several enthusiastic middle-aged men stepped forward to help.

Back home, their house immediately became lively again.

Yun Jiao was taken to take a bath and change clothes. Then, an egg was stuffed into her hand, and she sat on a small stool to slowly gnaw on it. She watched as everyone praised her from a distance, and her father's smile stretched almost to his ears.

After seeing the person off, the whole family was heartbroken when they heard that she was going to use all those things until tomorrow.

Yun Chennan clutched his chest and said, "Jiaojiao, maybe we should just stop. What have I done to deserve this?"

He didn't just get into Tsinghua or Peking University, he must have been incredibly lucky to deserve this treatment.

Yun Jiao gave a soft hum: "I want to eat."

"We also need to feed our master and the others."

"Okay, okay...you eat, you eat."

Left with no other choice, everyone had to take all these items to Awang's place and preserve them with ice.

When Awang learned that these were all ingredients to be prepared for tomorrow, he grimaced.

The village chief came when he heard the news, and the way he looked at Yun Jiao was just... indescribable.

"Thanks to Yunjiao, we'll be able to taste what these things we usually can't afford to eat taste like tomorrow."

That's really extravagant.

It's ridiculous, like bank employees receiving so much money every day, but it all belongs to other people.

These fishermen are no different. They fish all their lives, but when they catch any good fish, they never eat them themselves.

"Lin Hai, Lin He, I need to discuss something with you."

The Yun brothers looked at the village chief. "Judging from this, our village is sure to be lively tomorrow. I think it's rare for our village to be this lively, so why don't we all go up the mountain to worship Mazu and the Dragon King tomorrow?"

Upon hearing the proposal, Yunlinhe and Yunlinhai agreed without hesitation.

Then we won't bring Jiaojiao today; it'll be more fun if we all go together tomorrow.

In the midst of their busy work, the next day arrived quickly.

Before the professional chef Qin Xin hired arrived, the villagers got busy preparing.

Today, almost no one from Bailong Village went out to sea. Early in the morning, a group of women came to Yunjiao's house with their kitchen knives.

The men went to Yunwang's shop and moved the seafood ingredients that Yun Linhai and the others had left there.

When the villagers saw the tuna, they were all excited.

"What do you mean? You're eating this good stuff too?"

"Wow, this is a tuna! Lin Hai, what were you thinking? This fish could fetch a lot of money."

Yun Linhai scratched his head: "It's okay, eat."

He feels the pain too.

Jiaojiao is a bit of a spendthrift, but she makes money much faster than she spends it.

They looked at each other, bewildered: "But...we don't really know how to do this."

If you just do it haphazardly, wouldn't that be a waste?

At this moment, everyone was thinking the same thing as Yun Linhai and the others had thought before.

Yun Linhai chuckled: "Let's put this aside for now. Senior Sister Jiaojiao has helped us hire a chef who knows how to cook. Let's wait for him to arrive."

Everyone gasped, wondering how much this meal must have cost.

With the tuna set aside, everyone busied themselves washing vegetables, abalone, lobster, and preparing fish.

Most of the men in the village were taken by the village chief to the Mazu Temple and the Dragon King Temple on the mountain. Today they were going to have a grand and lively worship ceremony, and they needed to clean up the temple area.

The ancestral hall has also been cleaned.

There is an old man guarding the village temple, but he is not very nimble and can't possibly finish the job by himself.

When Master Yunjiao and her companions arrived, they found the village bustling with activity.

"Master, Senior Sister, Senior Brother, Teacher, Grandpa Gu..."

Yun Jiao and a group of children were arranging wildflowers they had found into beautiful bouquets when they saw the bright smiles on people's faces. They quickly ran over to greet them.

Song Seung-woo picked her up and carried her straight away.

"Wow, your village is really lively today."

Not only was it lively, but the smiles on their faces were absolutely radiant.

Yun Jiao chuckled: "We're going to the village temple to worship Mazu today."

Yun Jiao pointed to the place where she had just been and the group of children in the village.

"We're making flowers."

"Great! Does that mean we can go and join in the fun today?"

The biggest religion in coastal areas is Mazu, which Mr. Xu had heard of, but he had never seen her.

I heard that even during the years when feudal superstition was suppressed the most severely, fishermen in coastal areas still worshipped Mazu.

Doing other things might get you reported, but worshipping Mazu here will definitely not.

Anyone who dares to report this will be attacked by the local fishermen.

Now there's no more suppression, and the coastal areas are always the most lively during the festivals and processions for worshipping and exchanging deities.

Although today's event is a village temple worship ceremony, the lively atmosphere among the villagers is quite a sight to behold.

Yun Jiao led her master and the others to her home, where she poured them tea and served them snacks such as melon seeds.

Then she ran off to continue making flowers with her brothers.

These also need to be sent to the village temple.

Although coastal areas all believe in Mazu, the ways of worship vary from place to place, and even from village to village.

In short, everyone will put their greatest enthusiasm into it.

Yun Jiao has also been influenced by this in recent years and takes it quite seriously.
