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

Chapter 344

“Here, these peace locks were made of gold by your sister, one for each of you.”

Their names and zodiac signs are all printed on the safety locks.

Yun Xiaowu originally protested, wanting the dragon zodiac animal, but his mother, Shen Yunlian, ruthlessly suppressed his protest.

"Jiaojiao, this is yours."

"and this."

Besides the gold safety lock, Yun Jiao also had two small gold bracelets and a palm-sized gold monkey.

This gold was taken from the gold that Yun Jiao brought back from the seabed and used to make it for her.

Yun Jiao's eyes lit up. She put on the gold bracelet on her wrist, hung the peace lock around her neck, and then hugged the little golden monkey.

She was wearing a red outfit with a white fur collar, and with a small red dot between her eyebrows, she truly looked like a lucky charm bringing wealth.

Wang Mei joked with a smile, "Come on, who will put a little red dot on Jiaojiao's eye?"

Yun Xiaoba raised her little arms: "I'll do it, I'll do it."

Drawing a small dot is too easy for him.

Soon, Yun Jiao sat there obediently, holding the little golden monkey, and a beautiful little lucky baby, as if she had stepped out of a New Year's painting, appeared.

Yun Xiaojiu stared at her younger sister for a while, then pulled her eighth brother along.

"Brother, I want one too, order one for me as well."

"Mother, I want to wear red clothes too, just like Jiaojiao."

Yun Xiaojiu is also good-looking and a bit vain.

Yun Xiaoba didn't refuse and quickly drew a red dot on his forehead as well.

Now that we're not short of money, and with a sewing machine at home during the Lunar New Year, we naturally made one or two new outfits for everyone.

Yun Xiaowu and his friends also had similar clothes.

However, Yun Jiao was wearing a short dress, thermal underwear, and boots, so she wouldn't be cold.

"Come on, everyone, put them on. Let's take a family photo today."

"It's just a pity that the eldest and second eldest brothers aren't here."

Grandpa Yun and Grandma Yun also put on new clothes, and the younger children all had small dots placed between their eyebrows.

However, Yun Xiaowu and Yun Xiaoqi have dark skin, and the red color makes them look even darker.

The whole family stood in the yard, with Yun Jiao at the front, between the two elderly people, and the family's two dogs and tabby cat also in the frame.

The photos were taken by Uncle Awang.

I took several pictures at once.

"It's beautiful, it's really beautiful."

Ah Wang was really tempted by it.

"Chen Bei, can I borrow your camera for a moment? I want to take a family photo when I get back."

Yun Chenbei nodded: "Okay."

After taking the photos, Yun Xiaowu and the others took Yun Jiao to visit other people's homes.

How can I not take such a beautiful little sister out and show her off?

"You guys hide all the safety locks well. No one is allowed to show them outside, or if they get stolen, there won't be another one."

In this day and age, if someone sees someone wearing gold earrings or bracelets, people will actually try to snatch them.

Yun Jiao doesn't need to worry; with her strength and skills, she could outmaneuver even a few thieves.

But the other brothers were different.

"understood."

The safety lock was hung with a red rope, and they would hide it inside their clothes after wearing it around their necks.

"Let's go, Yunjiao. There are lanterns for sale at the village temple today. Let's go buy two."

Their village temple is very well built. Today is the Lantern Festival, and too many people are going to the temple in town, which is far away. People from several surrounding villages have also come to their village for some reason.

As a result, the village temple area is now very lively, with food and games for sale.

Yun Jiao and her brothers immediately became the center of attention upon their arrival; their red outfits and the red dot between their eyebrows made them look incredibly auspicious. Yun Jiao and Yun Xiao Jiu were the most beautiful of all.

"Whose dolls are these? They're so cute."

People from other villages who didn't recognize him couldn't help but glance at him several times.

"That outfit is really bright and stylish."

“You don’t recognize any of them? These are the children from the Yun Lin Hai and Yun Lin He brothers’ families. That little girl is Yun Jiao, who went to the sea to bring the boat back.”

"It's their family, the ones who donated 60,000 yuan to the village?"

"Such a bunch of baby boys, they're really good at having children."

"Not only that, except for Yun Jiao and the youngest one, the rest are all twins."

"What? They're both twins?"

"Of course, they're lucky, aren't they? They're living a great life now. Their two elderly relatives even went to live in the capital for quite some time. And the fattest little boy is said to have apprenticed under a master chef in the capital. They don't have to worry about their future."

Those who don't know the truth become increasingly envious the more they inquire.

That family lives a real life; they're just struggling to survive.

"Third Uncle, Yun Sui."

Yun Jiao and the others discovered that Yun Sui and his grandfather were also setting up a stall here, with incense, candles, and some pretty paper lanterns on the stall.

Grandpa Yun Sui is very skilled at bamboo weaving. Most of his paper lanterns are zodiac lanterns, as well as lotus lanterns, small fish lanterns, and so on. They look very beautiful.

The old man's deeply lined face was now full of smiles, and Yun Sui was helping his grandfather to hand out lanterns to the guests.

"Jiaojiao."

Upon seeing Yun Jiao and the others, Yun Sui's eyes immediately lit up.

"Third Uncle, you're selling lanterns here? They're so pretty! I want a little monkey lantern."

Yun Sui excitedly grabbed a little monkey lantern—a little monkey holding a big peach—and handed it directly to Yun Jiao.

"Give it to Jiaojiao, it's free, hehehe..."

Grandpa Yun Sui didn't stop them when he saw it. Instead, he happily said that he would give one to each of Yun Jiao's brothers.

"No, you need to pay."

Yun Jiao generously handed three yuan to Yun Sui.

These lanterns cost five cents each, and there were exactly six of them, so one lantern for each of them.

Then I also bought a stick of incense.

Yun Sui doesn't want money.

Yun Jiao put her hands on her hips and said, "If you don't want money, then I don't want the lantern either."

Yun Sui was torn.

Seeing this, Grandpa Yun Sui simply handed them a few small straw toys.

"Jiaojiao, please accept this; it's free."

Yun Jiao took it: "Okay."

They stood there for a while, and quite a few people came over to Yun Sui's little stall to buy things.

Yun Xiaoqi simply helped by shouting out the sales pitch.

He was quick-witted and made a big deal out of an ordinary lantern, and soon Yun Sui and his group sold a lot of their stuff.

Grandpa Yun Sui's gratitude towards Yun Jiao's family was beyond words.

In the past, when he took the things he made to town to sell, he couldn't sell many in a day.

The temple in town was bustling during the Lunar New Year period, but the stalls had already been taken over, so an old man like him had no advantage over them.

Now that the village temple has been rebuilt, more and more people are coming here. Many villagers have seen the business opportunities and are setting up stalls here.

They live close by, sell a lot, and can keep Yun Sui with them.

This is all thanks to Yun Jiao and the others.

With Yun Jiao and the others around today, his stall is selling things much faster than it did the previous two days.
