Chapter 146: Tying Hair
“Count for me too.”
Yun Xiaowu and the others gathered around, their eyes shining as they looked at the money.
A thousand yuan, such a thick stack.
Several children gathered to count the money, their eyes smiling.
“Hehehe… so much money.”
Yun Chenxi walked past his younger brothers: “Why are you smiling so happily, it’s not yours.”
Yun Xiaowu and the others: ………
Second Brother is really too annoying.
Yun Xiaowu put his hands on his hips: “I will definitely be able to earn more money than this in the future, I’m just getting a taste of it now.”
Yun Xiaojiu also nodded: “Earn money, lots of money for little sister to spend.”
Yun Xiaowu’s expression was shocked.
You little brother, I didn’t expect you to be so scheming!
Because today’s events were too dangerous, Granny Yun and the others decided to take a break and would not go to Dayun Restaurant to sell fish tomorrow.
Yun Jiao was still thinking about the fish placed with the sea turtle.
“Let’s go pry oysters tomorrow, there are so many oysters and sea snails on that secluded island.”
“I want to go too.”
“Dad, please take us with you, we also want to go to the secluded island to help, we haven’t been out to sea or been to a secluded island before.”
This time, Yun Xiaowu and the others stopped throwing tantrums; after several attempts, they knew it wouldn’t work, so they resorted to looking pitiful.
Yun Linhai thought for a moment and suddenly said, “Why don’t we all go tide pooling on the secluded island tomorrow?”
Everyone’s gaze instantly fell on Yun Linhai.
Yun Linhai thought about it and felt that this was feasible.
“That secluded island is quite large, and besides oysters, there should be other things. We can’t find any good things by tide pooling on the nearby beach, so let’s go tide pooling on the secluded island.”
“Dad, Mom, you can go too, just consider it as going out to play.”
Yun Jiao’s eyes were bright, nodding like a chick pecking rice: “Yes, yes, Grandpa and Grandma can go together.”
Yun Linhe also thought this idea was good: “Yes, let’s just go out and play for a day.”
“I remember there are also coconut trees on that secluded island, and it seems there’s a mangrove forest too.”
Listening to his two sons say this, Granny Yun and Old Master Yun were indeed tempted.
Yun Xiaowu and the others had already started cheering.
“We only have one wooden boat, can it fit so many people?”
Yun Linhe: “This is simple, we’re not the only ones in the village with wooden boats. I remember the Lamb’s family’s boat isn’t being used, we can go borrow one from them.”
But even so, there were still many people.
Finally, they decided to rent two boats.
Of course, it wasn’t for free; they still had to pay some money, considering it as a one-day rental.
Several people at home knew how to row boats; even the Old Master could row, but now that he’s older, he hadn’t touched a boat in a long time.
As for tomorrow’s lunch for the workers, it would be simple too. They’d find an Auntie with whom they had a good relationship and ask someone to help cook it using some food.
The grain and vegetables would be provided by their family.
“Third Grandpa, are you home?”
Awang’s voice came from outside, and Yun Linhai went to open the door.
Yun Wang: “Brother Lin Hai, are you alright?”
Clearly, he had heard about Yun Linhai and the others having their money stolen.
Outside the door, it wasn’t just Awang, but also relatives from Old Master Yun’s brothers’ families.
The relatives with a good relationship with Yun Linhai’s family came to comfort them.
Yun Linhai feigned sadness and sighed, “The money is stolen, what else can we do?”
Everyone sighed. After sitting down inside, they started chatting, and from time to time, their words of comfort and curses at the thief could be heard.
Upon hearing Yun Linhe say that the thief deliberately spread the news, causing many people to join the fun at Dayun Restaurant and specifically target crowded times, they cursed the thief while also remarking.
“These thieves are too cunning.”
“Indeed, Lin Hai, how did you let that thief discover where you hid the money?”
Yun Linhai looked aggrieved. “I hid the money in the innermost pocket of my clothes. Who knew how those thieves found it? That bastard deliberately bumped my stomach with force. It hurt so much I almost fell. By the time I reacted, my clothes had already been cut open with a large gash, and the money was taken.”
He also showed everyone his torn clothes.
“If it had been a little further, I would have a gash on my body.”
Everyone looked at Yun Linhai’s clothes and sighed.
“It seems that in the future, we can’t keep our money in one place when we go out. Those thieves have sharp eyes.”
“Don’t be sad. Money can be earned back. It’s fine as long as no one was hurt.”
“That’s right. I heard Jiaojiao was almost lost too.”
Yun Linhe nodded. “Indeed, Jiaojiao was swept away by the crowd. Fortunately, she knew to go to the Police Station. It was the Public Security Comrades from the Police Station who brought people to find us.”
“Jiaojiao is really intelligent.”
Yun Jiao was then patted on the head and had her little face pinched by the elders.
Her skin was tender and fair, and a pinch left a faint red mark on her skin.
Yun Jiao’s brothers looked on with heartache and quickly scooped up their Younger Sister, moving her away from the elders.
“Your hair is all messy.”
“Jiaojiao, let me tie your hair for you.”
Yun Xiao Jiu volunteered.
“Can you do it?”
Her older brothers doubted.
Yun Jiujiu: “It’s very simple, I saw Mom tying Sister’s hair and it looked easy. Big Brother can do it, so I definitely can too.”
Yun Chendong, whose ears were sensitive enough to hear this: …………
What do you mean “if you can do it, I definitely can too”? Do you know how long I practiced in secret?!
A few minutes later……
“Uh…”
Yun Xiaowu and the others stroked their chins, gathered around Yun Jiao, and stared at her head with furrowed brows.
Yun Xiaowu: “Are you sure, it’s done?”
Yun Jiujiu walked in front of Yun Jiao holding the comb.
Seeing the two lopsided, loose pigtails, he immediately felt overwhelmed.
“It’s really hard to make them even.”
And only after trying did he realize that Yun Jiao’s hair was soft, and he was afraid of pulling his sister’s scalp, so he had to be extra careful, which made it look loose.
As expected, his eyes understood, but his hands did not.
“I’ll do it!”
Yun Xiaowu took the comb and stood behind Yun Jiao.
Then… it was even worse than what Yun Jiujiu had done.
The other older brothers took turns, and Yun Jiao obediently sat on a low stool, gnawing on biscuits with her teeth.
She even yawned, feeling sleepy.
“Finally done!”
Finally, a passable double pigtail style was achieved.
Yun Jiao: “Brother, I want to take a nap.”
“Okay, then go ahead. The fan is in the room, open it first.”
On the bed in their room was spread a large cooling mat, the one Grandfather Shen had given Yun Jiao earlier.
There was also an electric fan.
Afraid of catching a cold, the electric fan was only on the third setting, a gentle breeze, and it swayed its head from side to side.
Yun Jiao climbed onto the bed and pulled at her hair, dislodging the pigtails.
Her older brothers:…………
Oh right, it’s uncomfortable to sleep with your hair tied up.
If I had known, it would have been better not to tie it.
The children lay on the cooling mat, Yun Jiao in the middle, listening to the adults talking outside and the chirping of cicadas, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
