Looking at the round duck eggs and a pair of plump wild ducks, even the usually calm Mrs. Ye widened her eyes in shock.

She hurriedly looked around and saw that no one was passing by, so she quickly ordered Ye Laosi: "Quickly tie the wild duck's mouth, put it in the wicker basket, and cover it with something. Let's find a deserted place tonight and figure out how to eat it."

As he was talking, all five boys in the family gathered around to watch Ye Lao Si tie up the ducks.

Ye Changnian half opened his mouth and stared at the wild duck, as if he had already imagined the fragrance in his mind, and his saliva flowed down the corners of his mouth.

"Greedy cat, stop messing around here and take your sister over there to play. Hurry up and pack up, we have to keep going."

Upon hearing this, Ye Changzhao and Ye Changnian grabbed Qingtian's hands, one on each side, and rushed to take her to see the ant nest they were digging.

Ye Changrui hurriedly followed behind and warned, "Walk slowly, don't run, don't let your sister fall!"

Although they were fleeing famine, the children's happiness was always simple.

The three children squatted on the ground head to head and took turns using wooden sticks to block the crawling ants.

Ye Changxue ran off to somewhere unknown, but soon came back with a small bunch of black fruits the size of soybeans.

"Heitiantian!" Ye Changnian shouted, looking at his second brother expectantly.

Black taro is a wild fruit that can be found everywhere. It tastes sweet when ripe and is a favorite snack for children from poor families.

Ye Changxue generously handed a whole bunch of black tea to Qingtian and said, "Eat it, sister!"

Qingtian took Heitiantian, picked one and put it in his mouth.

"Is it sweet?" Ye Changnian looked at her eagerly and swallowed secretly.

"Sweet!" Qingtian picked one and put it into his mouth.

Ye Changnian smiled brightly: "How sweet."

The sunny day was given to Ye Changrui, Ye Changzhao and Ye Changfeng in turn.

Ye Changfeng shook his head no, but Qingtian still stuffed it directly into his mouth.

A sweet taste instantly spread in his mouth, making his disgusted expression relax for a moment.

The luggage in the car was quickly tied up tightly. Boss Ye walked over and gently picked up Qingtian with one hand.

He used his other arm to grab both Ye Changzhao and Ye Changfeng around the waist and placed them on the luggage cart.

"This is Qingtian's first time riding in a car. You two must protect her and don't let her fall, understand?"

"Don't worry, uncle. I'll take care of my sister." Ye Changzhao immediately grabbed Qingtian's hand and raised it high to signal.

Ye Changfeng had a blank expression on his face, but after stealing a glance at Qingtian, he moved to sit on her other side, with the two brothers sandwiching her in the middle.

Boss Ye rubbed Qingtian's head and soothed him, "Dad will come pull the cart soon, and Mom will walk beside it. Qingtian, don't be afraid, just sit with your brothers obediently, okay?"

"Okay!" Qingtian answered softly.

After getting the response, Boss Ye was still not satisfied. His wife clearly said that Qingtian already called her mother, so why didn’t he call her father yet?

Seeing Boss Ye looking at him expectantly, Qingtian was a little confused, so he stuffed the last black chocolate in his hand into his mouth.

"Ahem." Boss Ye didn't get what he wanted, and he also ate the child's snacks for no reason. He turned around and left embarrassedly.

The luggage cart was ready, and on another flatbed cart sat Old Mrs. Ye, Second Sister-in-law Ye, Changrui, Changxue, and Changnian.

The family packed up and were about to leave when Guo suddenly said, "That's not right. Why can my second sister-in-law take the car?"

In the past, the daughters-in-law were not qualified to get on the cart, but today, Ye Ersao was able to sit on the cart openly, which made her jealous.

"All you do is stare at others!" Old Madam Ye scolded her. "The second son's wife wants to have Qingtian's clothes altered. If she doesn't ride in the car, then why are you carrying her?"

Mrs. Guo was unconvinced and said, "It's just altering clothes, who can't do that? If you let me ride in the car, I can do it too!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole family fell silent, even Ye Lao Si showed a horrible expression.

Ye Changxue laughed heartily upon hearing this: "The clothes made by Fourth Aunt are really good. The sleeves are sewn to the waist and can be used directly as a belt!"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Before Guo married into the family, according to custom, she had to make a set of clothes for each of her parents-in-law to wear at the wedding banquet.

Firstly, it shows that the bride will be filial to her parents-in-law after marriage, and secondly, it shows the bride's craftsmanship to the villagers.

At that time, the old man of the Ye family had passed away, and Guo only needed to make one for old lady Ye.

But she kept procrastinating and didn't send it over until the day before her wedding.

When Old Mrs. Ye took the clothes and shook them open, the whole family burst into laughter.

Not only are the stitching not precise, but the sleeves are sewn one higher than the other, making it impossible to wear.

In the end, it was Ye Ersao who worked all night to revise it, so that she and the Ye family would not be embarrassed on the day of the wedding banquet.

Guo was so embarrassed by the laughter that she muttered unhappily, "What does it matter if it's better or worse? As long as it's wearable, it's fine. This isn't like I'm going to be a concubine."

Old Madam Ye said, "Alright, let's go! It's getting colder day by day. If we can't get through before the beginning of winter, we'll freeze to death in this wilderness at night."

Now that winter is approaching and the days are getting shorter, we must cherish the daylight hours and travel as quickly as possible.

She was reluctant to waste time stopping to cook at noon, so she roasted some potatoes while making breakfast so that anyone who was hungry could eat some to fill their stomachs.

Because they had eaten well the day before, Ye Lao Da and Ye Lao Er pulled the cart with extra energy today, surpassing many of their fellow refugees and attracting envious glances from others along the way.

They walked until it was getting dark and the road was no longer visible, then Mrs. Ye told everyone to find a place to rest.
