Chapter 154: The Package Fu Mingyu Sent
Yun Jiao spent three days playing in the village with Ninth Brother.
The two little fellows occasionally helped Granny Yun pick vegetables, or they would take the chickens, ducks, geese, and a cat to stroll around the village.
Playing with friends and listening to the adults gossip.
Their days were also leisurely.
Three days later, Father and Mother, who had gotten much tanner, finally returned.
The Yun family became lively again.
“Sister, it’s good you didn’t go. Look, my skin is peeling off.”
The sun was really strong, and since Little Wu and the others didn’t like to wear hats for sun protection, they even took off their clothes when the weather got hot.
Then their skin peeled off.
The skin could be peeled off in a very thin layer, but in some places it couldn’t be peeled off, causing new and old skin to be next to each other, making him look like he had patches on him.
They were tanned red.
It wasn’t just Little Wu; everyone else was similar.
Those who were better protected only had peeling skin on their arms and faces.
Those who, like Little Wu, had taken off their clothes, also suffered on their backs.
Yun Jiao watched, feeling heartbroken and relieved that she hadn’t gone!
Granny Yun cried out, “You little rascal, why did you take off your clothes!”
“You’ll pay for getting sunburned like this!”
Little Wu said grievances, “It was too hot, and my body was so itchy. It was uncomfortable not to take off my clothes.”
Although Granny Yun scolded him, she still cared about her grandson.
She thought for a moment, went to the drawer, took out a few tablets of Analgin, crushed them into powder, mixed them with water, and then called the children over to apply it to their bodies.
Finally, she also applied medicinal wine to them.
The medicinal wine on the body, especially on the peeled areas, stung.
It didn’t hurt much, it was just a hot and uncomfortable feeling.
“Is anyone home? Is this Yun Jiao’s house?”
The children inside were scrambling around as Granny Yun called them over to apply medicinal wine.
There was a knock on the door from outside, and they called for Yun Jiao.
Yun Jiao and Yun Jiu ran out at the same time.
Then they opened the door.
The two little children saw the mailman uncle.
“Hello, mailman uncle.”
The two little ones obediently greeted him.
The mailman, visiting for the first time, was immediately struck by how cute they were.
These two children were too well-behaved and good-looking.
“Okay, okay, okay… Who is Yun Jiao? Is this Yun Jiao’s house?”
Yun Jiao raised her small hand, “I am, I am.”
After the mailman left, Yun Jiao ran into the house holding a large package.
“Fifth Brother, Fu Mingyu sent me something, it’s this big!”
Hearing that it was from Fu Mingyu, the whole family curiously gathered around.
After opening it, they found a neatly organized photo album, a letter, and some canned food, and a can of milk powder inside.
“A photo album.”
“This photo album looks so good, like a book.”
It had a slightly retro kraft paper cover, and upon opening it, a photo of Jiao Jiao happily riding a whale shark appeared.
“Wow… it’s Jiao Jiao and the whale shark.”
“In the back is Fu Mingyu, Jiao Jiao, and the whale shark.”
The Yun family never tired of looking at photos.
They still often looked at the photos Wang Yi sent before.
The photo album sent by Fu Mingyu also contained many photos, including some of Yun Jiao and her brothers, as well as other members of the Yun family.
However, Yun Jiao was featured the most, especially in photos of her interacting with marine creatures while at sea.
“There are still some blank pages in the back, we can take out some photos from home and put them in.”
Yun Linhe touched the photo album, finding it extremely likable.
“This photo album is great. After this one is full, we’ll buy another photo album later.”
“Oh, Little Fu is really thoughtful.”
After looking at the photos, Yun Jiao opened the letter. The two full pages of letter paper were densely written.
This was Fu Mingyu’s handwriting.
Yun Jiao looked at it for a while, her little face wrinkled.
She couldn’t understand it, she was just an illiterate little fish QAQ.
But she was still so young, what’s wrong with being illiterate!
Yun Jiao defiantly put her hands on her hips for a moment, then handed the letter to the cultured Third Brother of the family.
“Third Brother, read it quickly.”
Yun Chennan found a stool and sat down, and Yun Jiao directly lay on his lap and listened intently as he read the letter.
Yun Chennan’s voice was clear and gentle, just like him, pleasant to listen to at an unhurried pace.
In the letter, Fu Mingyu mainly talked about his journey north with his grandfather, some things he encountered on the train, and then some things he saw at the military region.
They were all trivial matters. Finally, he asked how Yun Jiao was, said he missed them, and provided his current address, asking Yun Jiao and the others to write back.
There were even a few stamps in the envelope.
It was quite thoughtfully prepared.
Yun Chennan chuckled, “I didn’t expect Fu Mingyu, who doesn’t talk much in person, to be so verbose in his letters.”
Yun Jiao nodded.
“He asked me to write back, but I can’t write yet.”
Yun Chennan stroked her head, “Tell me what you want to say, and I’ll help you write it.”
Yun Jiao nodded, “Okay.”
Yun Chennan said, “But you also need to learn to recognize characters. You can’t be illiterate when you grow up. Eldest Brother and Second Brother are going to join the army soon, and you’ll definitely have to write to them in the future. Will you have to ask others to write for you then?”
Yun Jiao’s little face wrinkled, and after a few seconds of hesitation, she nodded.
“I understand.”
“But I’m still young now, no rush, we’ll take it slow.”
It was too difficult for her, a little fish, to learn the complex characters of humans.
Yun Jiao had a good talent for languages, which was innate, so learning to speak was relatively easy.
But recognizing and writing characters was really difficult.
However, she still wanted to personally write letters to her brothers in the future.
Yun Jiao cheered herself on, and then went back to playing.
No rush, no rush.
“Canned food, hehe, Fu Mingyu sent so many canned foods again.”
“There’s bayberry too.”
“We still have milk powder left, why did he send another can.”
“This says it’s milk powder specifically for children. Little Fu probably sent it for Jiao Jiao.”
The Yun family thought Fu Mingyu was such an honest child for sending so many things.
“Alas, we should also prepare something for that child.”
“But what can we give him? We only have seafood here.”
Yun Jiao’s eyes rolled, and she went to find Fourth Brother.
“Fourth Brother, can you carve a Fu Mingyu? And carve one of Jiao Jiao to give to him.”
Little Wu suddenly rushed over, “I want one too, I want one too! Carve one of me too.”
Yun Chenbei: …………
My hands will be ruined.
Sending something back to Fu Mingyu isn’t urgent.
The Yun family had something else to take care of.
Yun Chendong and Yun Chenxi were leaving.
Joining the army was a glorious matter.
Their family was low-key, and they hadn’t publicized the fact that these two were going to join the army.
But as they were preparing things for the two children near their departure, when others asked, they naturally mentioned it.
Then, very quickly, the entire village knew that Yun Chendong and Yun Chenxi had both been selected to join the army!
At this, people coming to the Yun family’s house were almost breaking down the door.
“I knew these two brothers looked energetic, they were cut out to be soldiers!”
“How did it become your idea? I never heard you say that before.”
“My goodness, your family kept it quite a secret. Why are you only telling us now?”
