Chapter 75: Younger Sister, You Really Make Me Seem Useless Like This!
Yun Xiaowu, standing beside her, wrote quickly, but his characters were messy.
The youngest generation of brothers in the Yun family, from the Chen character generation, were named according to the cardinal directions from eldest to fourth.
The fifth to eighth were named according to Qin, Qi, Shu, and Hua (Zither, Chess, Calligraphy, Painting), but the character for zither sounded a bit feminine, so they used the homophone Qin.
Yun Xiaowu’s full name was Yun Chenqin, Yun Liuliu was Yun Chenqi, Yun Xiaoqi was Yun Chenshu, and Yun Xiaoba was Yun Chenhua.
The youngest, Yun Xiaojiu, was casually named with a character that had a good meaning.
It was Yun Chen’an.
Yun Xiaowu’s name had many strokes, and he wrote it sloppily, making it unrecognizable without careful inspection.
He was also the first to finish, but his work was quickly rejected.
“What have you written? Can you even recognize these characters yourself? Rewrite them for me!”
Yun Xiaowu tried his best to argue, “Why can’t I recognize them? Aren’t they written quite well!”
Yun Linhai’s face darkened, “Your handwriting isn’t even as good as mine!”
The pencil had a red eraser on the top, and Yun Linhai erased the characters Yun Xiaowu had written.
Don’t waste the other pages of the homework book.
“Rewrite them for me!”
Yun Jiao propped herself up on the desk and wrote for a long time, only managing to scrawl out a little more than half a page crookedly.
“There’s so much, Daddy, can I write a little less?”
Have to say, this punishment was indeed too harsh.
Yun Jiao used her charm to act cute and pitiful.
Who could resist being looked at so pitifully by a soft, sweet, and beautiful young girl?
Yun Linhai coughed, “Jiaojiao, you just write one page of names, and then two pages of 1 and 2.”
Yun Jiao’s eyes lit up, “Thank you, Daddy.”
Her little mouth was very sweet.
Yun Linhai couldn’t help but admonish, “Next time, don’t go out to sea carelessly. You know how worried we are.”
Yun Jiao whispered, “But Jiaojiao feels very comfortable in the sea. Her arms don’t hurt as much, and her feet don’t hurt as much.”
She raised her little chubby feet for Yun Linhai to see.
Children’s bones are soft, and her fair, plump, short legs easily lifted over her head into a split.
Yun Linhai pinched her plump, soft leg that felt very good and took a look.
He was stunned by what he saw.
The blisters on her feet had healed much better than before.
Could it be that going to the sea was really good for Jiaojiao?
He muttered to himself.
“Okay, I’ll talk to your mother.”
With the reduced punishment from her father, Yun Jiao wrote much faster afterward.
After all, writing 1 and 2 was much easier than writing names.
She had to have the adults check it after she finished before she was let go.
“Jiaojiao, did you catch all these at the bottom of the sea?”
Yun Jiao nodded.
“I, amazing.”
She slightly lifted her small chin, especially proud.
Yun Linhe asked her how long she could hold her breath.
Although it was nearshore, it was still deep for Yun Jiao, at least more than two meters deep.
Yun Jiao said, “For a very, very long time.”
The instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages made her not tell her family that she could breathe underwater.
Because she knew she was different from everyone else; her father and brothers needed to take breaths when diving, and any human needed to take breaths.
Only she was different.
Yun Linhe and the others didn’t ask further; the matter of today was over.
The next day, Yun Jiao’s feet had healed a lot and she could walk.
The weather wasn’t great today, so they didn’t go to sea for safety.
But they still had to go tide pooling.
Yun Chenxi asked, “Does Jiaojiao want to play in the sea again?”
Yun Jiao asked pleadingly, “Will I be punished with writing?”
Yun Chenxi laughed heartily and squeezed her little face.
“Second Brother will accompany you today, and you can play in the sea for a while.”
Upon hearing this, Yun Jiao’s face immediately lit up with joy. Her clear, beautiful pupils sparkled like sunshine on the sea surface, especially beautiful.
“Wait, we need to bring the little brothers.”
Yun Jiao trotted with her short legs to the chicken coop for a round, and when she came out, a string of furballs followed behind her.
They chirped noisily, making it very lively.
Yun Jiao led the way, holding her small bucket and small shovel, followed by a string of little tails, and then the adults of the Yun family.
The villagers who went tide pooling saw this peculiar sight and couldn’t help but stop to watch.
“Jiaojiao, why are little chicks and ducklings following behind you?”
Yun Jiao answered crisply, “My little brothers.”
“Oh my, they’re so obedient, lining up to follow.”
“How did you get them to follow?”
“Hey, don’t say you can just let them go to the tidal flats to find food themselves, they’ll definitely eat their fill.”
Those adults followed them for a while; the scene was too amusing.
Many children followed behind, and Yun Xiaowu and his brothers walked with their heads held high, feeling proud.
Who was more amazing than their sister?
Of course, there were also those who were resentful and jealous.
“All day they just show off, it’s just a bunch of chicks and ducklings, it’s not like we haven’t seen them before.”
Yes, that was Yun Zhaodi.
Yun Jiao sensed her gaze and made a funny face at her.
Yun Zhaodi was so angry.
She couldn’t hit or scold, so she could only sulk to herself.
Yun Jiao led the string of followers to the tidal flats after the tide receded, and squatted down in a place with many sea sunflower seeds, digging with her small shovel.
“Come over and find your own food.”
The sea sunflower seeds were very small. After digging them out and crushing them, she let them peck at them themselves.
The chicks only ate the meat inside, while the ducklings and goslings sometimes swallowed the shells too.
Occasionally, they also ate small shrimp.
There was plenty of food by the sea, so there was no need to worry about them not eating enough.
Yun Jiao cracked some sea sunflower seeds for them to peck at, and she spotted a small hole nearby, immediately digging into it with her small shovel.
She dug down, one scoop at a time, quite deep.
Yun Jiao didn’t know what kind of hole it was; she was content with whatever she dug up.
After digging to about the depth of her forearm, she saw something wriggling.
Yun Jiao freed up a hand to grab it.
In just a short while, she pulled out a creature with a large nose.
It was an elephant trunk snail.
It was larger than her palm, and the meat looked very plump and thick.
The shape of the elephant trunk snail was very peculiar, resembling an elephant’s nose.
The meat was much larger than that of ordinary snails and shellfish.
Yun Jiao’s gaze swept around, and she spotted another similar sandy hole and began digging again.
Occasionally, she looked up at the chicks and ducklings, and after they finished eating, she would crack more sea sunflower seeds or some small snails for them.
“Jiaojiao, have they eaten enough?”
Yun Xiaowu and his brothers ran over.
The tide had just receded, and their first instinct was to look for seafood that hadn’t escaped in time.
Now that they had found quite a bit, many people began digging for things in the sand.
Yun Xiaowu showed Yun Jiao the contents of his bucket.
“Jiaojiao, look quickly, I found three sea snails and caught a grouper.”
Yun Jiao glanced at it; the fish wasn’t large, weighing less than a jin.
It wouldn’t sell for much money, but it could improve their family’s meals.
“Brother is amazing.”
Yun Jiao praised him, but her hands didn’t stop working as she dug in the sandy hole she had just made.
“You’re digging…”
Yun Xiaowu’s words were cut short.
Because he saw with his own eyes his sister pull out a rather large elephant trunk snail from the sandy pit.
Yun Xiaowu: ………
Sister, you really make me feel useless like this!
