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

Chapter 340

She looked at her master with a rather resentful expression.

Why did you have to ruin my mood, Master? We were all in a good mood.

Which child likes being asked questions and having their homework checked by the teacher?

When Old Xu saw her like that, he burst into laughter.

"Alright, alright, I won't ask anymore. Take a rest today, come see me tomorrow, it's time to teach you to memorize the acupoints."

What Yun Jiao needs to do now is memorize it by rote. Traditional Chinese medicine has a long history, but unfortunately, much of its heritage was destroyed in the war.

Fortunately, Mr. Xu was perceptive. When he realized something was wrong, he hid all the family's precious books in a secret basement that only he knew about.

He was able to stay safe thanks to some people he had previously treated; otherwise, given his status, he would have been arrested.

However, he was thus relocated from the bustling capital to this remote region.

Most people here believe in Mazu, and their faith is so strong that it instills fear in others. In addition, the area is remote, so the fighting here is not as fierce as in other places.

After everything was over, he opened a small clinic here and did not return to the capital.

He felt this place was quite nice, and as for the capital, he would leave it to the children to develop.

That's getting off topic. So, the ancient books on traditional Chinese medicine that Mr. Xu has kept are quite well preserved, which naturally means there are many more books to memorize.

Fortunately, Yun Jiao has a good memory, otherwise it would have taken her five or six years just to memorize the texts.

Yun Jiao nodded: "Then Master, I'm going to my teacher's place."

Old Xu nodded: "Come back early, have lunch here."

"it is good."

Yunjiao brought her teacher a large piece of catfish meat.

Xie San Niang was even stricter than Xu Lao. Every time they met, she would check whether Yun Jiao had been slacking off during the time they hadn't seen her.

Of course there is none.

Even on the island, Yun Jiao practiced her basic skills every day.

This exercise is good for your health, and it feels great to sweat afterward, so she didn't slack off.

After inspecting it, Xie San Niang nodded in satisfaction.

"Good, keep it up."

Have you decided which instrument to use first?

Yun Jiao learns to dance, and naturally, she also needs to learn vocal music and musical instruments.

And she learned several different styles at once; now she has finally mastered some basic vocal techniques.

"I've made up my mind, I want the flute!"

"why?"

"Because it looks good."

She could imagine herself standing on the beach playing the flute, with orcas or dolphins dancing in the sea to her music, and how shocked and adoring those who saw her would be.

Simply put, it's showing off.

Of course, Yun Jiao doesn't know this word right now.

"Or the xiao would be fine too. These two are convenient for me to carry around and I can take them out whenever I want to use them. The guqin, guzheng and guitar are all too big and inconvenient for me to carry around."

It's not conducive to her acting like a wise and knowledgeable person.

Xie San Niang: …………

Never mind, as long as I can learn it.

Yun Jiao studied with the teacher for two hours, then ran off to the old place.

Her myna not only had to learn calligraphy, but also had to systematically study painting.

When she arrived, the myna bird was drawing, so she simply took a piece of paper and started writing on it.

Old Gu brought out a small bottle of wine from somewhere.

"Jiaojiao is here. Your master sent someone to invite me over for a meal, saying you brought some good things with you?"

Yun Jiao immediately replied, "It wasn't a gift; Master bought it for me."

Old Gu snorted: "What, do you think I can't afford it? Why don't you ask me?"

Yun Jiao: Can you stop arguing about everything?
"That was something I promised my master when I had my birthday before."

Old Gu: "Your master is indeed cunning and treacherous."

Yun Jiao: I can't hear you, I can't hear anything.

The two old men often bickered like this, so she, as the younger generation, didn't get involved.

"That's all for today. Let's go, let's go get that old man a good meal."

Yun Jiao and Yun Xiaoba immediately cleared away everything on the table, and then followed him like two little tails.

"Grandpa Gu, what are you holding in your hand?" Yun Jiao asked curiously.

"liquor."

"This is a good thing, a wine I've been treasuring. It's a pity you two are too young to drink it."

Yun Jiao muttered to herself, "Why do adults all like alcohol?"

Oh, and cigarettes too.

Xu's family home.

A whole table full of dishes.

Yun Jiao's mouth watered as she looked at it.

Old Gu walked in, carrying a wine bottle and with his hands behind his back.

"Oh, what good stuff is it that you've been calling me here so eagerly?"

Old Xu glanced at him: "Didn't you already know?"

Old Xu's house is quite large, and there is a aunt who is in charge of cooking. He and his apprentices usually have their meals prepared by the aunt.

This table is clearly one of them.

Although they look like home-style dishes, without the fancy fare of big hotels, they are still very delicious.

"I can't finish such a big fish. If you weren't Jiaojiao the myna's master, I wouldn't have invited you."

Old Gu mentioned his wine: "Then you won't be able to drink my treasured wine."

The two old men started bickering again.

Not long after, Yun Jiao's teacher, Xie San Niang, arrived, along with her two senior brothers and sisters.

Everyone was familiar with each other and felt relaxed, so they ate and drank heartily.

The moment the wine jar was opened, a rich aroma of wine wafted out, causing Yun Jiao's nostrils to twitch.

She didn't know what the wine tasted like, but it smelled really good.

So, with fish balls stuffed in his mouth, he watched longingly as Grandpa Gu poured fragrant wine into all the adults' small wine cups.

Even Xie San Niang had some, but not many.

She needs to protect her voice; she generally avoids spicy food, tobacco, and alcohol.

But having a little bit of alcohol occasionally is fine.

Only Yun Jiao and Yun Xiaoba had nothing to eat at the table.

Perhaps it was her gaze that was too intense, for Gu Lao chuckled.

"What, Xiaoyunjiao, you want to eat too?"

Yun Jiao nodded.

"It smells nice."

"Hahaha... Well said, this wine is indeed delicious."

He dipped his chopsticks in the mixture and said, "Try it."

Yun Jiao licked it with her tongue and smacked her lips, but couldn't taste anything.

"It's too little, Grandpa Gu, give me a little more, I can't taste it."

"That won't do. Children can't drink alcohol. Wait until you're older before you drink."

Yun Jiao gave a muffled "oh".

Although she couldn't drink alcohol, the delicious food on the table quickly cheered her up.

So sometimes, Yun Jiao is really easy to coax.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they chatted for a while, and Gu Lao finally learned what treasure the old man had acquired that day.

"Great! You didn't even let me see such a good thing? I don't care. If you don't have it, you can't even let me see it? Take me there now!"

Looking at the large swim bladder of the yellow croaker, Gu Lao marveled.

"Little guy, next time you have such a treasure, please consider me, your old man."

Yun Jiao nodded: "Okay, I'll save it for you next time we meet."

Old Gu nodded in satisfaction.

Old Gu may seem carefree, but he is actually extremely meticulous.

He didn't pressure Yun Jiao or ask her to help him find something.

Yellow croakers are rare, and this kid probably only came across one by chance. If he likes one, he'll ask others to find more for him. How shameless would that be?

But if the child is lucky enough to find it next time, it's still okay to keep it for yourself.
