Chapter 287: Wearing A Small Skirt For Photography
“Okay, besides things from the sea, let’s go to the mountains to find some mushrooms to make mushroom sauce as gifts.”
They lived by the sea but also near the mountains, so for gifts, it would be either from the sea or the mountains.
But the Sun family developed business in Hangzhou, which was a bit far from them, so sending fresh items was definitely out of the question, and they could only send some dried goods.
“Okay!”
Yun Jiao responded and excitedly prepared to find her Fourth Brother to help her make something pretty with shells and pretty stones.
“Wait, there’s a package here too.”
“It was sent from Ning City.”
“What? Do we know anyone there?”
Wang Mei suddenly thought of something and exclaimed, “Could it be Sister Wu Lan?”
When the name Wu Lan was mentioned, Yun Linhai and Yun Linhe thought for a while before remembering, it was the woman who traveled with the army they met on the train to the capital.
“Let me see.”
“Aiyo, these clothes are so beautiful.”
When the package was opened, there were four sets of clothes inside. Three sets were for a little girl, and one set was for a little boy, which was a set of army green miniature military uniforms made to resemble military attire.
“Third Brother, quickly read the letter and see what Sister Wu Lan wrote.”
Yun Chennan read it quickly and then summarized.
“The letter said these clothes are for Jiao Jiao and Xiao Jiu. She made them from clothes she couldn’t wear anymore, so there are more for the girls. The set for Xiao Jiu was made from her husband’s clothes, so there’s only one set. She hopes we don’t dislike them.”
“Why would we dislike them?”
Shen Yunlian and Wang Mei were both grinning.
“Such beautiful fabric, and it feels comfortable to touch. The color is quite vibrant, and it was made from old clothes! These clothes are truly beautiful.”
“Jiao Jiao, come here and take a look.”
Yun Jiao went over and her eyes lit up.
Her godmother also sent clothes, but they were all bought from department stores. Although the styles were new, they weren’t very different from the mainstream aesthetics of the time, leaning towards conservative styles.
But what Wu Lan made herself was a novel and beautiful little puffy skirt, one in light pink, a small skirt that fell a little below the knee, with a shape like a jellyfish.
One was red, not only looking festive but also a little qipao with a playful style.
Another was sea blue, shaped like a trumpet flower with slightly closed petals.
“Beautiful, beautiful, this is too beautiful.”
Nowadays, there are more colors and styles for clothes, but many adults, especially married women, are not bold enough to try those clothes.
But children don’t have this concern.
What parent who loves their daughter wouldn’t want to dress her up beautifully? Moreover, Yun Jiao is so good-looking; even a little dressing up makes her look like a beautiful doll from a display cabinet.
Therefore, Shen Yunlian and Wang Mei, who received the beautiful clothes, were full of enthusiasm and immediately took Yun Jiao to change into the little skirt.
Yun Chennan: “Mom, the letter said if possible, could we send some photos of Jiao Jiao and Xiao Jiu?”
“Yes, yes, of course, that’s no problem.”
“I didn’t expect Sister Wu Lan’s craftsmanship to be so good. We don’t have that skill.”
Yun Jiao was treated like a doll. After changing into her clothes, her hair was styled, and the pretty hair accessories Yun Chenbei made for her earlier came in handy.
“Beautiful, seeing these clothes, I feel that Jiao Jiao looks beautiful in them!”
It was the light pink skirt, shaped like a jellyfish.
She was already fair-skinned, and the light pink made her look even more lively. Her hair was braided on both sides and styled into a princess look.
At this moment, Yun Jiao, just standing there, seemed to illuminate her surroundings.
Like a beautiful little elf from the ocean.
Wang Mei and Shen Yunlian felt a great sense of accomplishment watching her.
Yun Jiao herself also admired her reflection in her pretty little skirt, twirling around.
“We’ll change into the other skirts tomorrow or the day after. One set a day, otherwise, her hair will get messed up.”
“Okay.”
“Let’s go take pictures!”
Yun Jiao blinked her eyes: “But, I have to go to the police station with Third Brother.”
“Oh, he can go by himself. Besides, aren’t your father and your Uncle there too?”
Wang Mei had already taken out the camera.
“We’re going to the seaside; it would be a pity not to take pictures by the sea in this outfit.”
Yun Jiao said “oh” and was led by her Aunt and Mom.
Yun Chenbei: “I’m going too.”
After saying that, he silently followed behind them.
He was skilled at taking photos, as he was often the one using the camera.
“So cute, so cute.”
After walking a few steps, Wang Mei couldn’t help but hold Yun Jiao and rub her face against hers.
Children, especially children of Yun Jiao’s age, are at their cutest and most playful, let alone one as beautiful as her. Even adults couldn’t help but feel their hearts soften.
Hugging and rubbing were normal, her chubby cheeks like they were inviting a bite.
They hadn’t walked far when they encountered some villagers.
They were originally going to work, but upon seeing Yun Jiao, they couldn’t take their eyes off her.
“Jiao Jiao, what are you wearing? It’s beautiful. This skirt is so unique, and the color is bright.”
Seeing this made them want to get one for their own children.
The more they looked, the more beautiful it seemed.
“Hello, Grandma Song.”
Yun Jiao politely greeted them.
“Yes, yes, Jiao Jiao, where are you going?”
Wang Mei said with a hint of pride, “A good friend of mine sent me some clothes she made. She asked me to take some photos of her wearing them to send to her. These clothes look like little jellyfish, so I thought it would be beautiful to take pictures by the sea.”
“Beautiful, it is beautiful. Jiao Jiao looks good anywhere wearing these clothes.”
After that, no adult they met said they weren’t good-looking.
The children, especially the little girls, looked at her with envious eyes. Some who were doted on at home started acting cute, asking their parents to make them a beautiful little skirt too.
They walked through the village in this manner, followed by quite a few children, both boys and girls.
While taking photos, Yun Jiao was also relaxed, treating it as a trip to play.
She squatted on the ground digging sand and pried out a moon shell.
She picked up stones with pretty colors or beautiful shapes.
She hugged the family’s big dog.
Big Black had also come, and Yun Jiao directly rode on Big Black’s back.
Big Black had a strong physique, and Yun Jiao was carried on his back as they ran along the seaside.
“Good job, Big Black, I’ll give you delicious food when we get back.”
Yun Chenbei remained silent, only holding the camera and continuously taking pictures.
His sister, joyful indeed, was like a little elf by the sea.
One photo captured Yun Jiao sitting on a reef singing; the sunlight seemed to favor her, casting a golden glow on her, and her black hair had a warm golden sheen.
In the sea not far in front of Yun Jiao, several orcas leaped out of the water.
Yun Jiao, wearing her little skirt, wasn’t very suitable for going into the sea, so she only greeted the orcas from afar and sang a few songs to comfort them.
The village children gathered not far behind Yun Jiao, listening to her sing.
