Appearance:

Yuna has never seen what the mermaid world is like, but guessing from Miller's words, the mermaid world also needs work, such as planting corals, collecting seaweed, and driving fish fry, so when the parents go out to work, it is when the little mermaids sneak out to play.

"Well, I actually have something I want to ask you. "You can't let Joseph stay, so Tong Xinlan spoke.

The mermaids all looked at Tong Xinlan curiously, Natalie lay on the stone, curiously holding her cheeks and waving her tail up and down, and said, "Yuna, what's the matter, is it fun?"

"It's not fun, I just want to go up and see how my dad works, you know, they don't allow women to get on the boat, they say it will bring bad luck, when will women and the Kraken be juxtaposed as a disaster? Natalie, you give me a good home, I don't want to see you the next time I see everyone. ”

"Hmph. "It's not fun, Natalie twisted her head proudly.

After persuading Natalie, Tong Xinlan began to say to the ignorant 6-year-old mermaid again, "Joseph, you and everyone should go home first, and come back next time, okay?" It's dangerous to get close to a human merchant ship, your fish tail is white, the target is too obvious, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to catch up with my father's boat when the time comes, and I will speed up swimming, you are still too young, I'm afraid you will be tired." Too much exercise is not good for your development. ”

Joseph thought about it, but nodded obediently, "Well, okay." ”

However, he turned his head and said to Miller in a serious, fact-telling tone, "Sister Yuna has gained weight recently, and she must have gained a lot of weight, and I can't take it with me if I stay, and Brother Miller will have to work a little harder alone." ”

"Yes". Miller, who hadn't thought too much, nodded solemnly.

Face the cute little mermaid Joseph. Yuna never makes a move, but she won't be soft on Miller, but this time, for the sake of their ignorance. Only Natalie and Agatha covered their mouths and grinned. Tong Xinlan thinks it's better to bypass the impersonal Miller.

Say goodbye to merfolk. Tong Xinlan put on the sun-dried clothes and went home.

The brothers have gone out for apprenticeships and have not yet come home, and Mama March is spinning. When I saw her come back, I raised my eyes and looked at it, thinking that she was going out to play with her friends, "Go cook, my brothers will come back to eat in a while." ”

"Okay, Mom. "The food in this era was very simple, just bread, potatoes, and fish, and it took Tong Xinlan half an hour to get the meal ready in the kitchen.

When the two brothers came home, the family sat down together, first prayed to the father who gave the sea, praying that he would go to sea smoothly, and then began to eat lively.

During this period, Tong Xinlan was praised by her brothers, and she bit the spoon exaggeratedly, "Oh my God, brother, I am finally relieved, my sister will be able to marry in the future, and the food cooked today is no longer so difficult to swallow." ”

"I was stunned if Janet next door taught my sister the secret of cooking. Will added.

"You give me a good meal, don't always bully my sister for me, how can she get married, but you can't marry a wife that makes me anxious. Mama Mazzie flicked her fingers.

"Mom, don't worry, when we get out of school, we will be able to find a job, and when the time comes, we will save enough money to make a dowry for my sister to marry, we are not in a hurry. He scratched his cheek shyly and gave his brother Will a look.

"Yes, if my sister doesn't get married, who would dare to marry us, so let's marry my sister first. ”

……

Two guys with poisonous tongues, Tong Xinlan finally understands why Yuna doesn't like to play with her brother anymore, boys will feel that it's not fun to take their sister, girls are stingy and easy to cry, and they have been used to squeezing Yuna since she was a child, so that she doesn't dare to chase their farts/thighs behind them, so that they can play well.

However, they still care about Yuna, although it is very awkward when they express it.

After lunch, the brothers continued to be apprentices, and the mother continued to spin, this is their daily routine, it seems that Yuna is the most relaxed, but there are not many things that girls can do, and their family is not a poor peasant, and there is no need for girls to work to support the family.

When the sun came out in the morning, Yuna had already finished washing her clothes, so there was nothing to do at home, and Tong Xinlan went out again and walked towards the girls who had a good relationship.

Yuna is too young to ask questions to the adults, but those adults have children, and adults always like to discuss work at the dinner table or complain about their bosses, and the parents of these girls happen to work in the offices of ZF and Romney.

From them, you can also get some information.

Although the relationship between Yuna and everyone is not particularly good, but everyone looks up and doesn't look down, after Tong Xinlan joined, she slowly dominated the direction of everyone's conversation, and everyone also rushed to start saying their parents' complaints about work, etc., and then Tong Xinlan focused on caring and enlightening everyone, and guided out the answers they wanted.

Sure enough, property insurance has become popular in this era.

As in later generations, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, mudslides, storms and other natural disasters and property losses caused by wars are not insured by insurance companies, oh, and one more thing, that is, pirate plundering will not be insured, because insurance companies are also afraid that some companies will collude/collude with pirates to act and cheat insurance.

Although Tong Xinlan doesn't know how insurance companies in this era verify which situations can be claimed and which can't, it is obvious that if those seafaring merchant ships dump the pot on the Kraken, the insurance company will definitely settle the claim.

What a strange insurance regulation.

With some more information she wanted to know, Tong Xinlan was even more sure of what she was going to face.

The Romney company has some reputation in Amsterdam, but it is not the most powerful company, and their company may be out of financial situation, no wonder, they want to put on a play, the ship and the things on the ship can be sold for a profit, and they can also cheat the insurance company out of money......

It's a little dark.

Now Tong Xinlan's entangled situation is that if she wants to save the people on the whole boat, she obviously can't do it.

Tong Xinlan is not sure about the situation on the other side of the sea now, there are three survivors, which means that the people on the ship have pirates, maybe there are more than three insiders. (To be continued.) )
