Han Yiyi glanced at the closed Yunlai Restaurant, her eyes flickered, and a thought flashed through her mind, but the current situation was not the time to think about it, so she did not speak.

When the two returned to Zhushan Village, the sun was almost setting. A gust of wind blew by, and Han Yiyi couldn't help but take a deep breath. The air was filled with the fresh fragrance of bamboo, which made her feel relaxed and refreshed.

"Ah! The air here smells so good!" Han Yiyi exclaimed.

When Yun Xiao saw Han Yiyi like this, his lips curved into a smile.

The people here don't have much of a nightlife, and to save on candles, they finish dinner early before dark. I imagine everyone is eating dinner at home at this time, so I haven't seen anyone along the way.

Just as the two reached the foot of the mountain, they heard hurried footsteps behind them, but they didn't sound like people. They turned around and waited for the thing to get closer before they realized that it was a mule that had run back from Aunt Zhang's house.

The look Mule gave Han Yiyi clearly said, "You heartless woman, you've abandoned me again..."

When Han Yi met the look in the eyes of a mule, a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes. He had been gone for too long and had really forgotten about it. So he coughed lightly, smiled, stepped forward, patted its head, and said.

"Sorry, sorry, I left in such a hurry that I forgot about you. Don't worry, I promise I won't do it again. I'll make you something nice to eat later..."

As soon as Han Yiyi finished speaking, the mule, which had been staring at Han Yiyi with wide eyes, suddenly narrowed its eyes and then rubbed its head against Han Yiyi's hand.

Upon seeing this, Yun Xiao couldn't help but chuckle, "This beast is truly a genius!"

Just as Er Yue finished eating and was about to feed the mule some hay, she noticed it had disappeared again and called out to Aunt Zhang in the room.

"Mom, the mule is missing again. I wonder if it went to Sister Yi's house again. I'll go look for it!"

Now that the creature has disappeared again, the Zhang family has become quite calm. It's not for any other reason than that it would occasionally run down to the foot of the mountain to check if Han Yiyi had returned. The Zhang family has gotten used to it by now.

Upon hearing what Eryue said, Aunt Zhang spoke up.

"Okay, wait for me. It's getting dark now, I'll go with you..."

Before they even reached the foot of the mountain, they could see the candlelight in Han Yiyi's courtyard from afar. Aunt Zhang was overjoyed at the sight and quickened her pace.

"Mother, slow down, watch your step!"

"Han girl, are you back?"

Hearing the knock, Han Yiyi's eyes lit up, and she quickly turned around to open the door. Sure enough, when she opened the door, she saw Aunt Zhang's smiling face.

"Yes, I just got back. I was thinking of visiting you tomorrow since it's late. Why are you here so late? Come in quickly."

Upon entering, he indeed saw the mule in the corner and couldn't help but laugh and speak.

"Your beast is really something else! These days it keeps coming over to see if you've come back. Just now, I prepared some hay for it in February, and it was gone again. I was worried it had been snatched away by a big insect on the mountain, so I came to check on it!"

It was only then that Han Yiyi noticed Er Yue, who was standing obediently behind Aunt Zhang. Seeing that Er Yue's hair had been styled into a married woman's bun, she suddenly remembered that their marriage was over. She quickly apologized to Aunt Zhang.

"Oh dear, it's my fault. Something came up and I forgot about Da Niu and Er Yue's wedding. Here, take this and give it to you as a congratulatory gift for your marriage to Da Niu." As he spoke, he took out a hairpin from his sleeve, which was actually from his spatial storage, and handed it to Er Yue.

Although Han Yiyi liked this thing, she wasn't used to wearing it. She felt uncomfortable with it dangling on her head, so she usually kept her hair in place with a hairpin.

I bought this when I was shopping with my two children. I thought it looked nice, but I never brought it with me and just left it in my storage space.

February instinctively took it, but when she saw what it was, she was quite surprised.

The hair ornament is made of pure silver and is decorated with beautiful tassels. The workmanship is very exquisite, and it looks very beautiful.

"Sister Yi, this is too precious, I... I can't accept it."

This thing looked very valuable, so in February she hurriedly tried to return it to Han Yiyi.

"Keep it. Consider it a wedding gift from your older sister. I wish you two a happy marriage and that Aunt Zhang will soon be able to hold her grandson!"

Hearing Han Yiyi say that, Er Yue blushed with embarrassment.

Aunt Zhang, who was standing to the side, was also taken aback by the gift Han Yiyi gave her, but after hearing what Han Yiyi said, she also spoke up.

"Since it's your sister giving it to you, just accept it. If you don't want to keep it, you can leave it as a dowry or a wife's dowry for my grandchildren!"

"Mother, you're teasing me too..."

When Er Yue heard her mother-in-law say so, she accepted it without hesitation, but she was very careful, afraid of breaking it.

Actually, Aunt Zhang was right. In their village, it was already considered quite good to have a piece of silver jewelry when people got married, let alone such a beautiful and exquisite hair ornament.

In the future, it will be used as dowry for her daughter. Presumably, her in-laws will think more highly of her. It has to be said that February is thinking a bit too far ahead.

Now that Han Yiyi is back, Aunt Zhang no longer needs to take the mule back to look after it. Aunt Zhang chatted with Han Yiyi about the village gossip for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, she prepared to go home.

Just as she turned around, she remembered the sweet potatoes and, feeling a little embarrassed, asked...

"Han girl, you said before that sweet potatoes could be harvested in three or four months, and now they're ready to eat..."

There's no other way. Every household is running out of food. In the past few months, the wild vegetables on the mountain have been dug up by everyone, and even the grain shops in town have no grain to sell.

Thinking that if we couldn't eat that sweet potato, everyone would go hungry.

In fact, some people were so hungry that they had secretly dug up some food to eat.

Actually, considering the current timeframe, it would be best to wait another half month before harvesting, since the initial planting was already a bit late.

However, now that Aunt Zhang had asked, Han Yiyi understood everyone's situation, so she spoke up.

"How about this, let's call the village chief tomorrow and dig up some of ours first. If it's okay, then we can all start digging together..."

Hearing Han Yiyi's words, Aunt Zhang nodded gently, realizing that this was the only way.

On their way back, Aunt Zhang noticed that Er Yue was walking rather stiffly, and asked her in confusion.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
