Time Travel: A Fisherwoman Goes to the Sea to Raise a Baby

Chapter 500 Frequent Pirate Offenses

As the weather gets colder, pirates face food shortages, and it's also the peak season for merchant ships heading south, leading to increasingly frequent pirate activities.

It's not easy for her to get so many days off.

"If my second sister were home too, she would definitely miss you." Sanchuan sighed.

If we're talking about who's closest to A-Yue in the family, it has to be Er'er.

“I miss her too. Didn’t they say Er’er would be back before the New Year? There’s still a month or so left. I’ll try to make some time during the New Year holiday.”

As she spoke, A-Yue untied the bundle, revealing a dazzling array of neatly packaged items.

"This is for Goyuki."

A-Yue took out a set of soft and warm tiger-head hats and footed cotton-padded jackets, with fine stitches and lovely embroidery patterns.

"Sanchuan, this is for you." Ayue took out another long cloth bag. "I don't like reading much. I asked Chief Guard Zhao about these books. They are all suitable for your age. I hope you like them."

Sanchuan took the cloth bag, his eyes shining, and thanked her earnestly: "Thank you, Sister Yue, I like it very much."

The child opened the cloth bag, which contained all sorts of books, such as "The Customs of Chang'an," "The Chess Classic," and "The Classic of Mountains and Seas"...

Most of them are books that can broaden one's horizons.

Sanchuan was overjoyed after only a few cursory glances.

"From all corners of the world!"

The child, with a bag of sweet sesame candy and a few colorful ceramic balls, couldn't suppress the urge to smile.

"This is Er'er's! She can open it herself when she gets back."

As she spoke, A-Yue placed a bundle carefully wrapped in fine cotton cloth aside.

"And one by one."

Xu Yiyi took it, opened it, and saw that inside was a piece of silk fabric with an elegant color but a thick and soft texture, which was perfect for making linings for winter clothes, as well as several boxes of fine rouge.

"You're working hard outside, but don't forget to take care of yourself." A-Yue looked at Xu Yiyi, her voice filled with concern.

At the age when she loves to look beautiful, she dresses simply every day.

She felt uneasy looking at it.

Xu Yiyi smiled sincerely: "Thank you, Yue, I like it very much."

Sihai looked at the thing in his older sister's hand, and his eyes suddenly turned resentful.

"What?" Xu Yi felt a little confused.

Sihai first snorted in dissatisfaction, then said, "You said before that you didn't like these cosmetics, you lied to me."

Xu Yiyi reached out and pinched the chubby cheeks of his face, her tone gentle.

"Yes, I really don't like it."

Under the bewildered gaze of the little boy, she picked up the box of rouge and examined it closely.

Her tone was very arrogant: "Your older sister is naturally beautiful, as pretty as a flower. Even without makeup, I am still exceptionally beautiful and don't need these things."

Her words were half-joking and half-serious, and coupled with her cool yet somewhat heroic face, they were indeed convincing.

Sihai was completely bewildered by her words, and in the end, he still couldn't figure out whether his older sister liked it or not.

After a while, while her older sister was talking to A-Yue, Sanchuan quietly pulled Sihai, who was still sulking, aside and whispered, "Sihai, why were you so angry just now?"

Sihai pouted, her face full of displeasure.

"Because my older sister lied to me. When I went to the scribe to write the complaint, I clearly asked her if she liked rouge, and she told me herself that she didn't."

The child's face puffed up with anger: "Big sister said she didn't like it, so I didn't buy it... But look, when A-Yue took out the rouge just now, big sister clearly smiled and looked quite happy! Big sister lied to me!"

She felt wronged and angry because she had nowhere to express her filial piety.

After hearing this, Sanchuan felt both amused and heartbroken.

"Are you silly? Of course you should be happy when someone gives you a gift. Are you going to put on a long face and say you don't like it?" Sanchuan patted Sihai's head.
