Chapter 48: Wang Yi
“What did you come here looking for my father for?”
Wang Yi asked, since they had already come in, he wanted to see what they were here for.
If they made any excessive demands, he would directly send them away for his father.
Yun Chendong glanced at the young man and honestly told them their situation.
There was nothing to hide.
Wang Yi was still a youth, very passionate and a bit dramatic, he couldn’t stand those who took shortcuts and then showed off in front of others.
“How can you do that? Don’t worry, when my father gets back, I’ll definitely ask him to help you!”
He patted his chest to guarantee it.
Suddenly, something in the bag they placed on the table moved.
Wang Yi was startled.
“What is it?”
“Is this a gift you brought? Why is it still alive? My father doesn’t accept gifts from others.”
Old Master Yun quickly said, “It’s not really a gift. It’s abalone we caught ourselves on the island. We just caught it this morning, and it’s still alive. It took us some effort, and it’s not worth much money. As long as you don’t dislike it.”
Hearing it was abalone, Wang Yi became interested.
Opening the bag, he saw that indeed, the live abalone was still squirming its meat.
“You caught it on the island? You live by the sea, so you often go fishing, right? Is fishing fun?”
“What’s fun about it? The sun is so hot, and there’s no sun protection at sea. Plus, fishing takes effort. Look how dark we’ve gotten.”
“Then why isn’t she dark?”
Wang Yi pointed at Yun Jiao.
Yun Jiao: “I don’t get tanned.”
“What else is there on your island besides abalone?”
Yun Chenxi was quite talkative and got along well with Wang Yi, a twelve or thirteen-year-old youth.
“There’s a lot. There are valuable and inexpensive things. Yesterday, my father and Jiaojiao and the others went to the island and found this abalone, some crabs, common shells, mussels, and sea centipedes, and prawns. Yesterday, they even caught a big fish weighing over sixty catties.”
Wang Yi’s eyes widened as he listened.
A fish weighing sixty catties, how big would that be!
“What kind of fish? Is it really sixty catties?”
“It’s a Duji Amberjack. That kind of fish can grow very large, and there are ones over a hundred catties, but we haven’t encountered them.”
“What’s a sea centipede?”
Wang Yi immediately turned into a question-asking youth, full of curiosity and yearning for the sea.
“Can I come to visit you when I have a holiday?”
At this moment, Wang Yi wished he could treat Yun Chenxi as a brother.
“You can, but if you want to go fishing, that won’t work. We only have a small boat. It’s fine if I take you to play by the seaside.”
“Okay, I’ll come to find you next Saturday.”
“What’s in this bag?”
“Sea cucumber.”
Wang Yi opened it and said, “Such a big sea cucumber?!”
He had naturally eaten these before, but he had never seen such a large sea cucumber.
Yun Chenxi: “More than that, the origin of this sea cucumber is even more surprising.”
Wang Yi immediately put on an attentive expression.
Yun Chenxi said, “Do you see my younger sister? An orca gave this to her.”
“Orca?!”
“Isn’t an orca a big fish from the deep sea?”
“A while ago, an orca got stranded on our village’s beach. A sea turtle brought Jiaojiao and my younger brothers to discover it first. Later, everyone helped it return to the sea. We all thought the orca had left, but unexpectedly it was still around, and it even swam into the sea to bring this sea cucumber to my younger sister.”
Wang Yi’s mind couldn’t quite keep up: “And there was a sea turtle too?”
“Hehe, my younger sister is quite favored by sea turtles and orcas.”
Yun Chenxi said this with great pride.
Otherwise, that sea turtle wouldn’t have clung to my younger sister, and the orca wouldn’t have come to play with my younger sister either.
Wang Yi stared at Yun Jiao for a long time.
Yun Jiao also stared back at him.
Wang Yi thought, “What a beautiful little sister. Do fish and turtles in the ocean also judge by looks?”
“Can I see an orca next time I visit?”
He really wanted to see it, desperately!
If he really saw one, he would definitely brag to his friends and make them envious!
“I have a camera, I want to take pictures of the orca, and the sea turtle.”
Yun Chenxi’s eyes lit up. A camera that could take pictures, that was a rare item.
“I don’t know if we’ll see the orca again, but we should be able to see the sea turtle. That guy is living at our house?”
“Ah? Your family actually keeps a sea turtle? That’s so cool!”
“Doesn’t it run away?”
Yun Chenxi scratched his head. “It hasn’t run away at my house. It even went out to sea with my father and the others yesterday and didn’t run away.”
Yun Jiao said, “It dares not run away.”
Wang Yi was now particularly interested in sea turtles and orcas, and upon hearing this, he immediately asked why.
“If it ran into the sea, the orca would come back for revenge.”
“It ran into the sea this morning and was bullied back by the orca.”
“Why?”
Wang Yi thought, this little sister’s voice is so pleasant, let her say more.
Yun Jiao answered slowly.
“Because the orca always pushes the sea turtle around in circles in the sea, playing with its shell. The giant sea turtle would then lead us to catch fish, but we can’t eat the orca, so we have to let it go…”
Yun Jiao clearly knew more of the inside story, so Wang Yi stopped pestering Yun Chenxi and turned to Yun Jiao.
However, he didn’t ask many questions, as his parents had returned.
Wang Jianlin and Liu Yun were also surprised to see the people in the room.
The Yun family members immediately stood up when they saw them.
“Father, Mother, you’re finally back. Grandpa Yun and the others have something to tell you.”
After a simple exchange of pleasantries, Yun Chendong explained the cause of the matter.
Wang Jianlin’s expression darkened upon hearing this, “Don’t worry. I will send people to investigate this matter. If someone truly replaced your quota, we will definitely give you an explanation.”
“Thank you, thank you, leader, you are a great person.”
Old Master Yun held his hand and thanked him profusely.
“Then we won’t disturb you any further. We’ll be going back now.”
Wang Jianlin looked at the things on the table and quickly said, “Wait, take these things with you. I can’t accept them.”
Old Master Yun and Yun Linhai waved their hands.
“These are not valuable things. They are just some seafood we caught on the island. They would be good for your mother to recuperate. They’re just local specialties, no trouble.”
Wang Yi said, “Dad, it’s abalone and sea cucumber. That sea cucumber is huge, and it was given to Junior Sister Jiaojiao by an orca.”
In just this short while, Wang Yi had already started calling her Junior Sister Jiaojiao.
Abalone and sea cucumber, those are indeed good things.
It would be good for his mother to recuperate, and the things inside were still moving, indicating they were fresh.
“Then how about we buy them?”
“No, no, they’re not worth much money, and we didn’t put in much effort.”
As they were leaving, the old lady of the Wang family held onto Yun Jiao, very reluctant to let her go.
“Nannan, my Nannan, where are you going? You can’t wander around, or you’ll be snatched by kidnappers.”
Yun Jiao patiently comforted her, “Grandma, I’m going to school. I’m not afraid of kidnappers. If bad guys appear, I’ll hit them!”
“Going to school, that’s good. Going to school leads to a promising future.”
“Your older brother is going to school, his academic performance is very good, and the teacher praises him.”
