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

Chapter 380 Freezer
The next morning, almost all the elders of the Yun family, except for the younger generation, went to Xie San Niang's house.

Xie San Niang had met their family a few times; although they weren't particularly close, they were familiar with each other.

Everyone wore new clothes and witnessed Yun Xiaojiu's apprenticeship ceremony.

It wasn't too complicated. After Yun Xiaojiu knelt down in front of Xie Sanniang and offered tea, she officially became Xie Sanniang's apprentice.

Yun Xiaojiu also gave her the prepared apprenticeship gift.

When Xie San Niang opened it, she was also surprised by the white jade hairpin inside.

"This... looks like an old item."

She stroked the hairpin with her fingers, clearly liking it very much.

But such a valuable item.

"Teacher, this is something I salvaged from a shipwreck at the bottom of the sea. It looks perfect for you."

"I see."

Xie San Niang had also heard about Sun Yaotong and the Yun family's previous salvage operation of the sunken ship.

Then I can use it with peace of mind.

She also really likes these antique items, especially jade and jadeite.

But she wouldn't look at them, fearing she might buy burial items.

Some burial items, if not properly disposed of, can be toxic.

Those salvaged from sunken ships don't have that concern.

She also returned the gift to Yun Xiaojiu.

A theatrical costume.

However, the costume was clearly for an adult.

Her gaze as she looked at the costume held a hint of nostalgia.

"Here, take this costume. Once you've practiced enough and can wear it on stage, you can wear it with you."

Yun Xiaojiu kowtowed earnestly: "Thank you, Master."

Yun Jiao couldn't help but glance at the costume a few more times.

It must be said, the costumes were truly magnificent.

However, that was a costume for a female lead in a Peking Opera.

In traditional Chinese opera, it is common for men with good singing skills and solid foundations to play female roles.

It can be said that in traditional Chinese opera, there is no distinction between men and women, only between roles.

The most outstanding role in traditional Chinese opera is the female lead (Dan).

After the apprenticeship ceremony, Yun Xiaojiu stayed behind.

Yun Jiao also stayed behind and practiced the basic skills for a while.

However, soon screams and cries could be heard from the training room.

Yun Jiao felt a chill run down her spine watching from the side.

Now she truly understood that the teacher had been incredibly lenient with her before!
Her ninth brother had excellent flexibility when he trained with her before; he could do splits and lift his leg back without any problems.

But at this moment, the teacher was pressing his body down, and he was almost folded up!

Yun Xiaojiu cried, sobbing terribly.

Yun Jiao watched from the side, feeling incredibly sorry for Xie San Niang, but Xie San Niang was cold and ruthless.

"Hang in there, this is just the beginning, you have a lot to learn in the future."

Yun Jiao: Thank goodness I didn't become an apprentice!
Poor Ninth Brother.

After waiting, Yun Xiaojiu's eyes were filled with tears.

Yun Jiao gave him a pitying look.

"Ninth Brother, I'm leaving now. I'm going to Master's place."

Yun Xiaojiu nodded, sniffed, and said, "Then go ahead, remember to come pick me up."

Despite his tears, he didn't say anything about giving up or quitting.

Yun Jiao nodded, and then ran off in a flash under the teacher's gaze.

Upon arriving at her master's place, Yun Xiaojiu began another day of learning.

Meanwhile, Gu Lao was both excited and heartbroken after receiving the cultural relics from his apprentice and the apprentice's parents.

After inspecting them one by one, he sighed: "These are a bit difficult to restore, especially those ancient books."

"I will try my best."

"But this is a huge project, I can't do it alone, I need to call a few people to come with me."

Yun Linhe quickly said, "Please take your time."

"Um, if we want to sell some antiques, would you buy them?"

"Of course I'll take you!" he said with a smile. "Besides, my son specializes in this. If you have anything to sell, just bring it to me. You're all my apprentice's family, so the price will definitely be fair."

To be honest, he was quite envious of his apprentice.

My sister is very capable; she can salvage sunken ships from the seabed.

Finding shipwrecks in the ocean is no easy task. Those tomb raiders can roughly determine the location of a tomb based on some knowledge of feng shui and geomancy.

Shipwrecks at sea are random, and in such a vast ocean, finding a shipwreck depends entirely on luck unless you can pinpoint its location.

His apprentice wanted to study those antiques, and he had his sister to back him up completely.

In the afternoon, Yun Jiao left her master's place and went to find Ninth Brother.

Yun Xiaojiu is currently studying vocal music.

After a day of classes, his legs were trembling so badly that he almost had to be supported by Yun Jiao to walk.

Yun Xiaoba also came from her master's place.

Yun Xiaoba: "Jiaojiao, Master said he's going to take those things to the capital to repair them with some friends. I might have to go with him."

"Do you want to come play together?"

Yun Jiao shook her head: "I'd better not, I need to start learning about medicines, I'm busy."

Yun Xiaojiu remained silent; he was too exhausted to speak.

Yun Xiaoba clicked his tongue and shook his head: "Brother, you're so pitiful."

Yun Xiaojiu nodded and hummed in agreement. "That's right, it's only the first day."

When Yun Linhai and the others came to pick him up, he almost fell asleep as soon as he got in the car.

He didn't wake up even after we got home.

"Jiaojiao, come quick! We bought a freezer!"

Upon hearing the sound of the motorcycle, Yun Xiaowu quickly ran out and pulled Yun Jiao to look at the freezer.

It's already frozen inside with popsicles.

Popsicles made from bamboo tube molds are actually just sugar water.

"Father, did you go buy a freezer today?!"

This is such a pleasant surprise! Now I can eat cold things again.

Yun Linhai: "There are many things at home that need to be kept fresh, so it's good to buy a freezer to store them."

"Quickly open it and see if the popsicles are ready."

Amid the children's anticipation, the adults brought out all the bamboo tubes.

All right!

The syrup inside had frozen solid.

Yun Linhai and the others used knives to split the bamboo tube open, and a cylindrical popsicle in syrup was ready.

Several children held them in their hands, beaming with joy.

Sitting under an electric fan and taking a lick is just too good to be true.

Yun Xiaowu: "I'm going out to play!"

Playing around is just an excuse; showing off is the real purpose.

Yun Xiaoqi: "Wait, I want to go too!"

They ran to the gate, then ran back and each of them lifted Yun Jiao up on one side.

"Jiaojiao, let's go together."

Yun Jiao: "I want to use the fan!"

"Oh, the fan is right there, we can use it again when we get back."

Yun Xiaowu: "Ouch, a mosquito bit me!"

It's almost evening, what's the point of going out for a stroll and showing off?

Yun Xiaowu has a strong appeal; he has now basically become the king of the village's children.

If you stand in front of someone's house and shout, a child will immediately run out.

The speed and movement were like a monkey descending a mountain.

"Wow... Yun Xiaowu, you guys went to buy popsicles, but these popsicles look weird?"

Yun Xiaowu boasted, "These weren't bought. My family bought a freezer; these are popsicles we froze ourselves."

As soon as he said that, he immediately earned envious looks from the children.

Yun Xiaowu immediately felt refreshed.

Yun Jiao licked the sweet popsicle and followed behind Fifth Brother, watching him ask one of his friends to show off.

The one surrounded by admirers.
