Zhang and Yun the butcher went to feed the donkey and the hen again before going to bed.

Yun the Butcher felt relieved because the things they discussed tonight had a good result, so he basically fell asleep as soon as he lay down.

Zhang had been busy all day and was already exhausted. She patted her waist and slowly fell asleep.

Next to her, Yun Yiyi was also sound asleep. There were too many refugees at the latest stopover, and Yun Yiyi was afraid of exposing her space, so she hadn't entered it at night for the past few days.

The night passed peacefully without incident.

The next day, at dawn, Yun the Butcher awoke. He first fed the donkey half a basket of hay and half a basin of water. He also added water to the hen next to him, mixing cornmeal with water and then covering the hen with a basket.

Then, Yun the Butcher washed his hands, filled the large iron pot halfway with water, and started the fire. When the water boiled, he filled a can with boiling water.

At this time, Zhang woke up.

"Boss, have you cooked?"

"I just boiled some water and poured it into the pitcher. There's still some water in the pot. Wife, what are we having for breakfast this morning?"

"Add another bucket of water to the iron pot, and let's cook some vegetable soup today." After Zhang said that, she went to the donkey cart and took out a cabbage. The outer leaves of the cabbage were a little wilted, so Zhang broke them off and fed them to the hens.

Wash and chop the remaining cabbage, then add it all to the pot. Zhang then takes out half a sheet of pot cake from earlier and breaks it into small pieces. Once the water boils, pour the pot cake into the pot, cover, and simmer for two minutes.

Two minutes later, Zhang poured two beaten eggs into the pot and stirred them. She covered the pot and simmered it for another two minutes. Finally, she added salt to taste and two tablespoons of lard. The pot was instantly filled with fragrance.

Butcher Yun poured the soup from the pot into a clay basin, while Zhang cut a plate of pickled chili peppers and pickled radish, drizzling a few drops of sesame oil on top.

After bringing the meal to the table, Zhang called all the children to eat. The three Yun brothers happily got up. Surprisingly, Yun Yiyi also got up on time to eat.

The family had a quick breakfast. Afterward, Zhang and Yun Lao Da began loading the cart. Yun the butcher made sure the little donkey was well fed before putting the carriage back on it. Yun the butcher placed the basket of hens inside the donkey cart.

Soon, the Yunjia Village team set off, led by the village chief. Yun the Butcher and his family followed the team.

When we first set out, it was still a little dark, but as we walked further it got brighter and brighter, and we encountered more and more refugees on the road.

Later, when Yun the Butcher felt that they had walked about twenty miles, the village chief found a suitable forest for everyone to rest and have lunch.

The village chief would not ask other refugees whether to rest or not. Anyway, the villagers of Yunjia Village must rest as long as they walk twenty miles.

At noon, Yun the Butcher and Zhang cooked a meal together, and everyone went to take a nap after eating.

After sleeping for about two hours, the village chief woke everyone up with a loud voice, packed up their things and continued on their journey.

Yun Yiyi followed Zhang listlessly. Even after sleeping for a long time, Yun Yiyi still felt sleepy.

"Yiyi, why don't you go to the donkey cart and sleep for a while?" Zhang asked with concern.

"I'm not going to sleep anymore, Mom. I'll be more energetic at night if I sleep more during the day." Yun Yiyi patted her face with both hands, ran forward a little, and then ran back. After all this, the sleepiness was gone.

"Dad, how did the discussion between you and the village chief yesterday about changing the car go?" Yun Yiyi asked curiously.

"The villagers finally agreed. At the beginning, it took so long to discuss it because some people disagreed."

"Dad, don't worry about the process, but the result. As long as the result is what we want, that's fine."

"Dad, tomorrow we're going to the city to buy things. We should do it separately, just like last time. This way it will be faster. Besides, the county town is much smaller than the provincial capital. We can buy things and send them out so we can continue shopping."

"Okay, I'll bring this up with the village chief during the meeting tonight. Yiyi, do you think our family should buy one carriage or two? I'm a little hesitant, so I haven't made a decision yet." Butcher Yun asked Yun Yiyi in a low voice.

"Dad, if you ask me, we'll just buy a carriage and use two horses to pull it. When the time comes, we can make the carriage bigger so we can put more things in it and even have people sleep there at night."

"Two carriages would only add one more compartment, but we have a small family, so three carriages would be too spread out. If something happens, we could easily get separated."

"You make sense, Yiyi. I'll listen to you and buy another car for our family." Yun the Butcher laughed happily.

"Dad, when we go to the city to buy a carriage, we'll decide based on the specific situation. I think there might be an old carriage like the one our family needs that was replaced by a wealthy family that would be perfect for us."

"I know. I'm just making a rough decision now. When I find a suitable car, I can buy it directly. I don't have to hesitate and waste time."

"Dad, think about what we need to buy. We'll have fewer and fewer opportunities to go to the city, so let's try to buy everything this time."

After hearing what Yun Yiyi said, Yun the Butcher also lowered his head to think. After a while, Yun the Butcher remembered something else.

"Yiyi, the gun head you want might be hard to find. But if there's a ready-made iron rod, a longer one, can we buy it? I think an iron rod is much more powerful than a wooden one."

"Dad, that's fine. If you don't have a gun head, a ready-made iron stick will do. If you have extra, buy a few more so my brothers can use them too."

"Okay, after we buy the car, we will go to the blacksmith shop. I don't know if the county town is big enough and whether we can buy everything we need." Yun the butcher said a little worriedly.

"Yiyi, I'll tell you everything our family wants to buy tonight. Remember, buy everything you can." Zhang interrupted.

"Okay, Mom. Don't worry, I have a good memory." After saying this, Yun Yiyi glanced at Yun the Butcher and smiled secretly.

"Wife, how could you do this? Didn't you tell me everything before? This time you told Yiyi and not me." Yun the Butcher protested in a low voice.

"Compared to my daughter, you are much worse. When the time comes, when my daughter buys something, you just have to pay for it." Zhang glanced at Yun the butcher.

"Oh, my daughter and wife both bullied me. I am so sad." Yun the butcher lowered his head and pretended to cry sadly.

Yun Yiyi, Zhang, and the three Yun brothers in front all laughed secretly.
