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

Chapter 376 Back home

From a distance, Yun Jiao looked like she was carrying a small mountain.

Even the humpback whales couldn't help but take a few glances.

Yun Jiao chuckled.

The humpback whales came to say goodbye to Yun Jiao.

The goods have been delivered, and they have to go back now.

Yun Jiao patted the humpback whale's head.

"Goodbye, I'll be back there later, and we'll meet again then."

"Woooooo~~~"

The humpback whale made a sound, as if saying goodbye to her.

After giving Yun Jiao one last look, their massive bodies slowly swam past her, their huge tails swishing as their bodies formed a graceful arc, gradually disappearing into the distance.

Yun Jiao watched them gradually turn into black dots, and only turned around after being nudged by the orca's mouth.

"Let's go home."

She's going home too.

The closer Yunjiao got to Bailong Village, the more she missed her family.

She didn't go to the dock because there were too many people there, and she had a lot of things with her; if she went there, she would definitely be surrounded by onlookers.

When is Jiaojiao coming back?

"Will she really come back from here? What if it's the dock?"

Before Yun Jiao even got close, she could hear her brothers talking.

This is their secret base. They can't dock here, but it's safe. Sometimes, Yun Jiao brings things that she doesn't want outsiders to discover, so she goes ashore from here.

Yun Xiaowu said with certainty, "Impossible. If Jiaojiao really comes back, she'll definitely come from here. She's been gone for so long and to such a far place, she'll definitely bring back some good things that she can't let others know about. What do you call that? That's called a thief never leaving empty-handed!"

"Ouch, Third Brother, why did you hit me!"

Yun Chennan's voice came: "If you can't speak properly, then shut up. Don't use idioms in the future."

Yun Jiao nodded vigorously. That's right, Fifth Brother's use of idioms is truly indiscriminate.

"Third Brother!"

She leaped out of the sea and shouted excitedly.

"Beautiful!"

"My sister is back!"

Instantly, the brothers who had been chatting and playing all put down what they were doing and ran towards the shore.

Upon seeing Yun Jiao, everyone's faces lit up with joy, and they danced with glee.

Yun Chennan: "Jiaojiao, come up quickly."

This area is a rocky reef, making it difficult and somewhat dangerous to stop the boat, but it's very convenient for Yun Jiao.

When Yun Chennan reached out to pull Yun Jiao, he found that even with all his might, his face turned red, but he still couldn't pull her up.

Upon closer inspection, her sister was holding a net bag made of a large fishing net in her other hand.

The contents inside were bulging and heavy.

Yun Chennan: …………

That's definitely not something you can pull up.

"Come quickly and help!"

Several people pulled on each other, and it took a lot of effort to pull Yun Jiao and the fishing net in her hands up. They were all panting heavily from exhaustion.

Looking at the contents of the fishing net, Yun Chennan recalled what Xiao Wu had said.

A thief never leaves empty-handed.

That might actually make some sense.

"My God, Jiaojiao, where did you go to rob someone?"

There were about ten of these large, golden yellow croakers.

There's also a tuna.

There's no need to mention the rest.

The fact that she could stuff that fishing net into her bag so full shows how much she had caught.

Yun Jiao looked innocent: "Since I've already gone, if I don't bring anything back, then my trip would have been for nothing."

You have such a big net bag, right?

The brothers remained silent.

Yun Xiaowu said enviously, "Jiaojiao, when will I have your skills? Your fifth brother here is not good at studying, so I'm afraid I'll have to inherit the family business in the future."

He has a fairly clear understanding of himself.

Yun Jiao gave him a perfunctory cheer.

The brothers and Yun Jiao lay together on the rocks, watching the crescent moon that had already appeared in the sky, though it wasn't completely dark yet. Suddenly, someone laughed.

The others joined in the laughter.

The happiness of youth is that simple.

"Jiaojiao, let's go home. Your parents will be so happy to know you're back."

However, those things are a bit difficult to carry.

"Let's go back first, our family bought a tricycle."

The tricycle is the kind that you pedal, and it's used for carrying goods.

It will be more convenient to use it to haul rice and corn from the fields in the future.

Yun Jiao nodded upon hearing this.

They all secured the fishing net to a rock and then ran home with Yunjiao.

"Father, Mother, Grandfather, Grandmother..."

That loud voice was unmistakably Yun Xiaowu's; even the dog in the house started barking when it heard it.

"Jiaojiao is back, isn't she? Isn't Jiaojiao back?"

Not long after Yun Xiaowu's voice rang out, the people inside the house rushed out.

Because Yun Xiaowu's joy was so obvious, their first thought was that Yun Jiao had returned.

When I came out, it really was true.

It will make the adults in the family happy.

Yun Linhai and Yun Linhe ran over and picked up Yun Jiao, lifting her high in the air.

Yun Jiao was not afraid at all; on the contrary, she laughed very happily.

"Jiaojiao, you're finally back."

"If you don't come back soon, we've all been talking about going to look for you."

I originally estimated it would take ten days to get my hair done, but it's already gone over by two days.

Shen Yunlian also ran over and hugged her tightly.

"It's good that you're back. Is there anything you want to eat that your mother will make for you? I've prepared everything."

Upon closer inspection, Yun Jiao noticed that her mother's eyes were a little red.

I'm really worried about her.

Yun Jiao felt a warm feeling in her heart.

Yun Jiao sniffed: "Mother, I want to eat braised pork."

Shen Yunlian quickly replied, "Okay, we have meat at home."

"Little sister, I'll make it for you, I know how."

Yun Xiaoliu couldn't wait to jump out.

He has been learning from his master for over a year. Although he mainly does odd jobs now, he can still cook some basic dishes.

"Then Sixth Brother will come too."

"We caught some crayfish yesterday, Mom, let's cook some crayfish."

"And eels, we'll cook and eat those too."

Everyone was talking at once, making the house very lively.

While the three women in Yun Xiaoliu's family were cooking, Yun Linhai and the others also learned about the things hanging by the sea.

Without saying a word, he rode his tricycle over there.

The tricycle has a cargo bed at the back, which can easily hold a pig weighing two or three hundred pounds.

Having a tricycle makes things much more convenient.

With flashlights in hand, everyone worked together to take the contents out of the fishing net and put them back in.

This trip isn't enough to finish loading everything.

Grandpa Yun: "Keep those big yellow croakers. Boss Tuna, you can send them directly to Awang's place."

As for the other items, Grandpa Yun picked out some good ones to keep and sent the rest to Awang to sell.

Of course, not all of these things are kept for our own consumption.

That large yellow croaker would make the best gift.

Jiaojiao's master and teacher, as well as Wang Jianlin's family, and the masters of Lao Si and Xiao Ba, all sent one.

If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Liu's master lived so far away, the old man would have wanted to send him off.

"We really need to buy a freezer for our family."

Otherwise, these good things won't last long if they're not frozen.

　I went for acupuncture, and my neck feels much better today, but it still hurts. It should be completely healed by tomorrow. Twisting your neck is really uncomfortable; I can't even sleep well.
