Chapter 183: Turtle Xiao Er Is Being Thought Of
“Aiyo, you’ve cut so much meat, have you earned money?”
Yun Linhai and Yun Linhe could now skillfully deal with those gossipy aunties and grandmas.
“Good luck, didn’t we catch so many sardines before? I’m giving the children a better diet.”
Yun Jiao listened to her father dealing with the surrounding inquiries while perking up her ears to listen to the gossip from others on the vehicle.
Xiao Xiao can do two things at once, mastered!
When everyone had almost arrived, the tractor started with a rumble.
It was bumpy, and the noise was so loud it made her ears uncomfortable.
She stopped eating sunflower seeds and prepared to sleep in her father’s arms.
Fortunately, she was sitting on her father’s lap; if she had sat on the cart, her little bottom would have suffered a lot.
They bumped along all the way to the village, and after getting off, Yun Jiao ran off with her brothers.
“Little lamb, let me tell you, we went to see a movie today. Sun Wukong was so amazing! He could transform seventy-two ways and used a Golden Cudgel to defeat all the demons and monsters.”
“Look quickly, Sun Wukong’s Golden Cudgel looks just like this, watch my Golden Cudgel…”
Yun Jiao thought her brothers were rushing home, but she didn’t expect them to be eager to show off to their friends.
But it has to be said, their goal was indeed achieved.
Several children in the village looked at them with envy.
After all, Yun Jiao’s brothers each had a Golden Cudgel.
Yun Jiao didn’t rush either, she just stood obediently nearby, eating biscuits in small bites.
Seeing a nest of ants, she squatted down and quietly stared at the ants lined up.
Glancing at her brothers playing with the Golden Cudgel, she broke off a piece of biscuit and threw it into the ant trail.
Then she curiously watched the ants pass information to each other, and soon, a circle of ants surrounded the biscuit crumbs.
“Jiaojiao, we’re going home.”
“Coming.”
Yun Jiao then stood up, patted her hands, and ran towards her brothers.
As usual, before they even reached home, a group of children started shouting loudly.
“Grandma, Mom…”
Yun Jiao, mixed in with her brothers, also shouted along.
However, compared to her brothers’ gruff voices, her voice was soft and pleasant to hear.
No one came out from inside the house. Two little fat dogs, hearing the noise, wagged their tails and wiggled their little butts as they ran out.
They headed straight for Yun Jiao.
“Hey… pretending not to see me, huh.”
Yun Xiaowu, holding baozi, said, “I’ve fed you so many times, why are you turning your back on me?”
Baozi whined grievance, its little eyes looking in Yun Jiao’s direction.
Tangyuan was already being held by Yun Jiao, and he was incredibly happy.
Baozi felt even more wronged, why only grab it!
After a period of roughhousing, Granny Yun was in the courtyard preparing potatoes.
It was the time to plant potatoes, and new potatoes would be available next spring.
The whole potato needed to be cut into irregular chunks, and each potato chunk had to have a sprout.
Yun Xiaowu and the others were sent to help, while Yun Jiao played by herself.
She let out two rabbits, brought two puppies, and held Turtle Xiao Er to play at the doorway outside.
She would grab a wild grass at any time to feed the two rabbits.
Holding a small stool, Yun Jiao took out a roll of fruit leather and sat down, staring at the animals in the house making trouble and playing.
“Jiaojiao is playing here.”
A drawling voice came, and Yun Jiao looked up.
It was two idle scoundrels from the village.
Not wanting to interact, Yun Jiao slowly chewed on the fruit leather and perfunctorily nodded.
Seeing Turtle Xiao Er keep climbing on her, she took out a dried shrimp from her small bag and handed it to it.
“Eat.”
Turtle Xiao Er stared at Yun Jiao with its two doudou eyes for a while, then opened its mouth and took a slow bite.
Meanwhile, the two who had just happened to stroll over were preparing to leave. One of them stopped when he saw Turtle Xiao Er.
This person was lean and had shrewdness flashing in his eyes.
He thought of something and walked towards Yun Jiao.
“Yun Jiao, Brother Tian will give you candy, can you give me this turtle? I think this sea turtle is quite good-looking and I want to raise it.”
Yun Jiao looked at him as if he were an idiot. Did she look easy to fool?
She directly picked up Turtle Xiao Er, turned her head, and refused, “No.”
Yun Tian’s expression stiffened slightly.
“You don’t want the candy? Brother Tian will give you money, how about one yuan?”
Yun Jiao: “No, I’m not selling.”
“You…”
“What are you doing?”
Granny Yun walked over from the courtyard, hands on her hips, glaring at the two men.
“What, you’re so old and still want to bully my Jiaojiao?”
“Who? Who’s bullying my younger sister?!”
Yun Xiaowu and the others heard this, dropped what they were holding, and rushed out in a swarm.
As a tiny youth, he didn’t fear Yun Tian, a man in his twenties, in the slightest.
Yun Tian forced a smile, “Granny, what are you saying? I was just, just teasing Yun Jiao. I have things to do, I’m leaving now.”
The two left in a hurry.
Granny Yun asked, “Jiaojiao, what did Yun Tian want?”
Yun Jiao raised Turtle Xiao Er in her hand, “He wanted to exchange candy for Turtle Xiao Er.”
Granny Yun grumbled, “Those two never do anything proper. They’re grown men but spend their days idling, drinking, and playing cards. You shouldn’t pay attention to him.”
Yun Jiao nodded.
At the same time, the two who had left were talking.
“Why did you insist on Yun Jiao’s turtle?”
“You wouldn’t understand.” Greed flashed in Yun Tian’s eyes.
“If I’m not mistaken, her sea turtle is not an ordinary sea turtle, it’s a hawksbill turtle.”
“What did you say, a hat? Does a sea turtle wear a hat?”
Yun Tian slapped the back of his head twice, “I told you to study more, but you wouldn’t listen. Hawksbill turtle is a species of sea turtle, and that thing is very expensive.”
“You didn’t graduate from primary school either.”
Yun Feng touched the spot where he was hit and muttered, then he seemed to realize.
“How expensive can such a small sea turtle be?”
“You don’t understand this. In short, let’s get that little sea turtle first, and then we’ll find professionals to ask.”
Actually, he didn’t know how much it could sell for either.
Yun Jiao didn’t know her Turtle Xiao Er had been targeted. At this moment, she was taking the house’s animals of all sizes with Granny Yun, Mom, and the others to the field to plant potatoes.
The tiny person had a small basket hanging from her wrist, containing potato chunks with sprouts. She squatted by the dirt pit dug by her mother and earnestly placed the potato chunks into the small pit.
Yun Xiao Jiu was with her.
Behind them, Yun Xiaowu and Yun Liuliu were spreading farm fertilizer.
The two puppies dug into the soil with grunts and covered the fertilized potatoes.
There were quite a few people in the field, less than an acre.
But because of this, the hard farm work became much more enjoyable.
Laughing, no one felt tired.
“Baozi, the fertilizer hasn’t been spread over there yet, why are you running so fast?”
“Jiaojiao, hurry up, we’re catching up.”
Yun Jiao muttered, “I’m already going as fast as I can, Fifth Brother, you guys are slow.”
“Oh my goodness, Jiaojiao, your goose ran into someone else’s field.”
Yun Jiao looked up and saw that it was true, it had run into someone else’s field and was pecking at vegetable leaves.
