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

Chapter 457

To attract more people to Bailong Village, a sufficient number of fossil skeletons are needed.

Whether it's searching for bones in the sea or assembling bones into a complete form, it's a huge undertaking.

Yun Jiao also has to go to school to study traditional Chinese medicine, so she doesn't have much time to go to the sea to look for bones.

Fortunately, the trench was large enough, and there were plenty of marine dinosaur skeletons inside.

Not only dinosaur fossils, but also shellfish and ancient conch fossils.

She also found a huge python bone.

It's incomplete, but it's still terrifying enough.

Another year has passed in this busy time.

During the summer vacation when Yun Jiao was ten years old, Bailong Village finally completed all the dinosaur fossils it was preparing to display to tourists.

Yun Jiao also collaborated with the government to have them bring back several unique dinosaur fossils.

For example, the Megalodon, the Mosasaurus, and the prehistoric giant serpent.

It was the summer of 1990.

With the booming development of electrical appliances, although televisions are still in short supply, most households already own one.

Even in some remote villages, not every household has a television, but there are always one or two households that do.

In villages where entertainment is scarce, if a family has a television, it will definitely attract the whole village to watch it.

The dinosaur fossils from Bailong Village were even featured on television.

"Wow, what's that?!"

Everyone watching TV was captivated by the dinosaur fossils on the screen.

"Dinosaur? What dinosaur? Could it be a dragon? Something that big must be a dragon."

"Oh no, it's not a dragon. People on TV said it was a dinosaur, and it seems like it was fished out of the sea. Goodness, if there's such a big creature in the sea, how dangerous must it be for people living by the sea?"

"Grandma, the reporter said those things are dead, they're extinct now."

The dinosaur fossils in Bailong Village immediately attracted widespread attention.

This promotional method was very successful and quickly attracted a lot of people to come and see.

Even if the adults in some families don't want to come, the children can't resist the allure of dinosaurs and throw tantrums to get their parents to bring them.

Gradually, Bailong Village became lively.

The entrance fee is inexpensive, only three cents.

But most people who come here will stay for a day or two, not only to see the dinosaur fossils, but also because some people who have never been to the seaside before will go to see the sea, experience the fun of beachcombing, and then have something to eat in the village.

To this end, some villagers sell beachcombing tools and fishing gear, some take them out to sea by boat to experience sea fishing, and several families have converted their houses into restaurants to cook for tourists.

In order to protect the village's reputation, the old village chief strictly stipulated that those who couldn't cook well should not open restaurants, and that no one was allowed to charge arbitrary fees, etc.

The temples on the mountain are becoming increasingly popular with worshippers.

"Hahaha... We've made money! I knew our coconut milk juice would sell very well."

Yun Xiaoqi was laughing hysterically at home, hands on her hips.

Yun Jiao sat to the side, drinking coconut milk.

The taste is indeed quite good.

Actually, it was Yun Xiaoqi who came up with the idea for Village Chief Sun. He even suggested that the villagers open shops, restaurants, and host sea fishing trips.

After Yun Xiaoqi gave Village Chief Sun his idea, he went back and called on the villagers to prepare to find a soda factory to cooperate with.

But he was having a run of bad luck. The town's soda factory was doing increasingly poorly, and other places were updating their soda offerings. Because of the factory manager's brother-in-law's shady dealings, their factory had fired the other factory's technicians.

As a result, the factory's performance deteriorated, and by the time they went to investigate, the soda factory was on the verge of closing down.

Upon hearing this news, Yun Xiaoqi immediately borrowed money from Yun Jiao and took over the venue.

Then they fired the parasites in the factory and hired a master craftsman and technicians who could make soda at high salaries. They worked with them to research beverages, and coconut milk juice was one of them.

It is also the most successful one.

Although it's not a soft drink, this beverage received very positive feedback during its pilot program in Bailong Village.

This is the first money Yun Xiaoqi has earned by starting her own business.

"Jiaojiao, do you want to cash out the money you lent me directly or invest it? If you invest it, my soda factory will give you 40% of the profits later."

Yun Jiao didn't mind, but seeing the expectant look in Seventh Brother's eyes, she said, "Then let's invest."

Yun Xiaoqi jumped for joy.

Outside, Yun Xiaoqi, already a high school student, has a shrewd, cunning, and handsome image, but at home, he is incredibly childish.

He patted his chest and assured him, "Just wait, from now on you'll only need to lie down and collect your dividends."

Wang Mei came out carrying the food: "Don't get too cocky, kid. You'll regret it when you fall down."

Yun Xiaoqi: "I know, I should remain humble, but we've made money, so of course we should be happy."

“Mother, I’ll buy you, Grandma, and Aunt gold bracelets.”

Wang Mei rolled her eyes at him: "You start showing off now that you have a little money, don't you? We don't need your gold bracelets. We have so many we can't even wear them all."

“Those were all gifts from my sister. The ones I gave were different.”

"How are they different? Aren't they all gold?"

"I am me, and my sister is my sister."

"Oh, Mother, just tell me if you want it or not."

Yun Xiaoqi grabbed Wang Mei's hand and shook it, acting like a spoiled big boy.

Wang Mei couldn't help but laugh: "Why not take it if my son is so filial?

"Okay then, little sister, what do you want? I'll buy it for you when I earn more money."

Yun Jiao munched on a small piece of watermelon: "Seventh Brother, you can buy it for me."

As they were talking, two people walked in from outside. Yun Xiaoqi immediately joked.

"Hey, our great painter, our big star, is back?"

Yun Xiaoba plopped down next to Yun Jiao and stuffed a piece of watermelon into his mouth.

"You flatter me. I am still some distance from being a great painter."

Yun Xiaojiu, with her androgynous face, rolled her eyes at Yun Xiaoqi.

It has to be said that people who study opera and are also good-looking have a really good eye-rolling quality.

"Seventh Brother, why do you have such a sharp tongue?"

He sighed, "Fewer and fewer people are watching traditional opera these days; the industry is in decline."

His eyes sparkled: "However, I will definitely make more people truly understand this industry in the future, let more people know about it, and pass it on!"

"A very grand ideal."

Yun Jiao gave Ninth Brother a thumbs up.

So I've made up my mind.

He changed the subject: "I want to go to the Capital Film Academy for university and become a star. Stars are getting more and more famous these days. Once I'm famous, I'll promote traditional opera and Peking Opera..."

His family naturally supported his ideals.

Yun Jiao: "Ninth Brother, don't worry, just come to me if you run out of money."

Yun Xiaoqi: "Brother, go ahead and make your own way. I've started earning money too. I'll become a big boss and invest in your movies so you can do whatever you want on set."

Yun Xiaojiu snorted: "I'm not a crab, why would I walk sideways? Besides, with my face, I'd definitely be popular in the entertainment industry, okay?"

To be honest, everyone in the family agrees that Yun Xiaojiu is the most beautiful girl besides Yun Jiao.

He himself was aware of his own beauty.

The Yun family is very worry-free.

The family's sons all have their own pursuits and career goals, so the adults don't need to worry about them at all.

In terms of education, they taught them very little, but the harmonious and loving atmosphere at home provided them with a good environment to grow up in.

Therefore, although the boys in the family each have their own unique personalities, they are definitely not people who commit crimes.

Each child has their own mentor or teacher guiding them, and they are all growing rapidly in their respective fields of interest.

In other families, having one or two successful children is already considered a great honor, something the whole family can be proud of.

But in their family, all the children are successful.

However, once the child becomes successful, they will go to a wider and bigger world, and the adults in the family are really reluctant to let them go.

After Yunjiao finished eating, she helped clear the dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen.

"Father, Mother, I'm going out."

When she said she was going out, half of it was to the sea.

Now that Yun Jiao is ten years old, her family no longer worries about her being in any danger at sea.

Even if Yun Jiao goes to a far place and doesn't come back for several days, they won't worry too much as long as Yun Jiao tells them.

Now there are more people in the village, and many of them are strangers.

Everyone was stunned when they saw Yun Jiao.

"Mom, I want to dye my hair as beautifully as hers."

The child's mother patted her child's head and said, "That child is pretty not because of the color of his hair. Honey, if you dye your hair like that, it will make you look even darker."

But that child is really beautiful.

Many mothers couldn't help but be tempted.

If I had such a beautiful child, I would definitely buy her lots of pretty dresses and give her a different hairstyle every day.

"Jiaojiao, are you going to the sea again?"

Her fellow villagers all came over to greet her when they saw her.

Nowadays, in the village, as long as you're not exceptionally lazy, you can basically make money just by sitting at your own doorstep.

Even if you don't know how to cook, you can make money by learning from Yun Chenbei how to make pretty handicrafts with seashells and conches, or by opening a small snack shop at home.

When the family has money, the children naturally become wealthy as well.

Now the children in the village can also buy new clothes and shoes that they like.

Everyone knows perfectly well who brought all this upon themselves.

Therefore, Yun Jiao is the darling of almost everyone in the village, young and old.

The children absolutely idolize and protect Yun Jiao.

Because of the difference between hair and eye color, some tourists are not well-mannered. For example, there was a child who was spoiled by his family and became a brat.

The moment I saw her, I wanted to grab her hair.

Instead of feeling apologetic, the child's grandmother and mother pointed fingers at Yun Jiao and started gossiping about the crickets after she dodged them.

Good heavens, the children from Bailong Village who saw it immediately got all furious.

Upon hearing a shout of "Come quick! Jiaojiao is being bullied!", a group of children rushed over and started beating up the family.

Under the influence of Yun Xiaoqi and his friends, the children in Bailong Village have all become eloquent. With more than a dozen mouths, they managed to shut down that unruly family of children and their parents.

The last family even said they would sue the parents.

Then, the parents who learned about the situation "invited" him out of Bailong Village and added him to their blacklist.

Yun Jiao hadn't even had a chance to do anything yet when she became famous overnight.

Even people outside the village knew about her.

Some people even went out of their way to find out about her, and when they did, they were all stunned.

Then they sighed, "If they had a child like that in their family, they would spoil them without any limits!"
