Chapter 203: Versailles
“We didn’t catch much, so we can only give you ten jin.”
Now Yun Linhai’s family isn’t so short on money. Although they still need to save to buy a boat, they can take their time.
When there are good things at home, they always think of keeping some for the children to eat.
After negotiating with Manager Wang, they left with their backpacks full of things and went home.
Seeing no one at the village entrance this time, Yun Linhai and Grandpa Yun breathed a sigh of relief.
There’s no way, those women who love gossip are truly terrifying sometimes.
Fortunately, now that the weather is cold, they don’t like to gather at the village entrance to sit in the cold wind. Instead, they go to familiar households to sit by the stove and chat.
Successfully returning home, Granny Yun and the others were astonished to see so many things they had bought.
And many of them weren’t cheap.
“Why did you buy so many things? This cold cream is so expensive, and we already have some at home!”
Yun Jiao gave each of the three women at home a bottle.
“Everyone has one.”
Her small stature, but her tone was very domineering.
“Dad, you can also put some on.”
The little one knows how to stab them in the heart: “Otherwise, you’ll look old, and Mom will look good, and you won’t look like a good match.”
Yun Linhai and the others: …
This little brat, she even understands what a good match is?
Shen Yunlian and the others were amused and laughed heartily.
A thermos for each person in the family.
Soap, shampoo, and clam oil for hands were also distributed.
Yun Jiao bought very fairly. If something could be used by everyone, she bought one for each person. If it needed to be separate, she bought according to the situation. In short, everyone got something.
She was tiny, but like an elder distributing gifts during New Year’s, she distributed them clearly.
When the backpack was empty, she stood with her hands on her hips, feeling quite tired.
But seeing that everyone had something, her little face showed an exceptionally satisfied expression.
Even the two dogs at home had their own little nests and enamel bowls.
The two dogs that received their nests and bowls wagged their tails so fast they left afterimages, carrying this one moment and that one the next.
As for the Cat Leader, it also had its own cat nest and a small enamel bowl, but it was more arrogant and didn’t show too much happiness.
Yun Jiao clapped her hands: “Okay, everything has been distributed. These are for the older brothers. I’ll give them to them when they finish school.”
Granny Yun, holding a pile of things, looked a little confused: “What’s going on? Didn’t we take Jiao Jiao for an apprenticeship? How did she buy so many things on this trip?”
Grandpa Yun was tenderly stroking his new pipe stem treasure. His old pipe stem had a large chip, and he had been making do with it.
He didn’t expect his granddaughter to notice and buy him a new one.
This granddaughter was truly worth raising, she was so filial!
Today, he would take his new pipe stem out for a stroll.
“Jiao Jiao’s master and senior brothers and sisters gave her red envelopes, hundreds of them. As soon as this kid got to the department store, she went on a shopping spree, and we couldn’t stop her.”
Granny Yun worried in her heart: “This girl, why is she so bad at saving money?”
Grandpa Yun was more open-minded: “What’s the big deal? Who told me my good granddaughter can make money?”
Granny Yun: …
She couldn’t refute it!
Yun Linhai, holding the books for Yun Jiao, said: “Jiao Jiao, Dad will put all these things in your room.”
Yun Jiao nodded: “Understood.”
Thinking about having to read such thick books, her little face scrunched up.
Everyone who received gifts, at this moment, had the same thought as Grandpa Yun: they wanted to go out and show off.
These small items were bought by Jiao Jiao, so they wouldn’t be too ostentatious.
Thus, the idle men and women, young and old, all ambled out.
Grandpa Yun took his new pipe stem to find his old brothers.
Yun Linhai and Yun Linhe also left with a pack of cigarettes and the latest lighters to find their brothers.
As for Shen Yunlian and Wang Mei, they wore silk scarves, and Granny Yun wore a beautiful hat.
Yun Jiao chose to walk with Granny Yun.
After Grandpa Yun went to find his old brothers, he held the new pipe stem in his hand, as if afraid others wouldn’t see it, practically shoving it in their faces.
“Yo, Old Mu, you finally decided to throw away your old broken pipe stem and get a new one? This pipe stem looks quite different.”
Old Master Yun chuckled twice: “I lost the old one. This is what my Jiao Jiao bought for me because she pities me as her grandfather.”
“What?! Yun Jiao, that little girl, bought it?”
“Are you bragging? How old is that little girl Yun Jiao? This pipe stem you’re holding must cost over a dollar.”
Grandpa Yun stood with his hands behind his back, his chin slightly raised.
“It’s because my Jiao Jiao is filial.”
“Why would I lie to you? I wouldn’t dare to buy such a good pipe stem myself. My Jiao Jiao has taken a master and received red envelopes. It’s also because she’s filial. As soon as she got the red envelope, she bought me this pipe stem.”
“I’m not talking to you anymore, I have to go find Da Niu and the others.”
“Hey, wait, what master? Explain it clearly.”
But they truly envied Grandpa Yun. This adopted daughter they brought back was not only filial but also brought good fortune.
Look how long it’s been, two new houses are built, they’ve bought a boat, and every time they go to sea, they bring back a lot of harvest.
Alas, one can only say that this is true blessing.
On the other side, Yun Linhai and Yun Linhe, with cigarettes tucked behind their ears and lighters in their hands, also said that these things were all bought by Yun Jiao for them.
Yun Linhe: “Our Jiao Jiao just spends too much money. When she sees something we need, she just buys it. We can’t stop her in time.”
Yun Linhai nodded beside him: “Exactly, wasting money.”
While saying this, the smile on their lips was truly unstoppable.
Their childhood friends who grew up with them: …
Your smug faces are truly unpleasant to see!
Yun Linhe knows how to be humble-bragging, making a group of his childhood friends’ hearts ache.
“You’re bragging, aren’t you? How could Yun Jiao, a three-year-old little sprout, buy things for you?”
“Why not?”
“Our Jiao Jiao is lucky. Every time we go to sea, just fishing alone yields a lot. We’ve given her a share of the income from going to sea. Although that money is saved by her grandmother, who told you Jiao Jiao is not filial.
It’s almost New Year’s now, so she asked her grandmother for some money, and unexpectedly, she used it all to buy things for us. You say, how can such a small person be so domineering? If she’s not allowed to buy something, she gets unhappy and throws a tantrum.”
The crowd: …
Get out, you two get out!
However, they were truly envious.
Look at their own children, then look at others’.
This harm comes from comparison.
However, it’s truly outrageous that the income from going to sea is shared with Yun Jiao.
Are their families really not having any problems with their brains?
It was even livelier on the women’s side.
The colorful silk scarves that Shen Yunlian and Wang Mei wore around their necks immediately drew the attention of the women.
“The color of yours is so beautiful, and the flowers on it are also pretty. Where did you buy them? You two are amazing for being willing to spend money on silk scarves!”
