"Yiyi, are you tired and can't walk anymore? Let me carry you on my back?" Brother Yun asked with concern.

"Brother, I'm not tired. I was just looking at other refugees. Let's go together. You must be tired too." After Yun Yiyi said that, she took Brother Yun's hand and walked forward.

Yun Yiyi felt that the team had been walking for about twenty minutes when she heard the village chief shouting to stop.

"Everyone, come this way and go into the woods. Push your cars in as well. We'll stay here tonight." The village chief shouted to everyone at the entrance of the woods.

So, everyone in Yunjia Village began to line up and walk into the woods beside the official road. When it was Yun Yiyi's family's turn, Yun Yiyi observed carefully.

She found the location chosen by the village chief to be quite good. It was about a mile from the woods to the other woods. Furthermore, the woods were slightly higher, so people in the square could see them.

However, looking from the square, you can only see a forest. At least the privacy is good.

The official road continued forward, all the way to the city gate. Many refugees on the official road looked at the people from Yunjia Village entering the woods, but they didn't react at all and continued on their way.

Butcher Yun found a spot near the back of the woods. Yun Yiyi looked back and realized they would have to climb a mountain if they continued. However, this would put them further away from the official road. During the day, they would have better privacy.

Old Man Wu also chose a place to stay about ten meters away from the Yun family. This way, if anything happened, both families could take care of each other.

Yun Yiyi looked up at the trees above. The sun was blocked out, and the woods were cool and comfortable. It was still early for sunset, probably more than two hours.

Yun Yiyi estimated that they had only walked a dozen miles that afternoon. Regardless, everyone was happy to finally be able to rest in peace.

Yun Yiyi sat under a tree, watching Yun the Butcher and Zhang clean up the ground. The three Yun brothers were also there to help.

In the past, Yun Yiyi would have felt embarrassed. Now, she was used to it. When they were short of work, Zhang and Yun the Butcher would always ask her to do it. However, when there were more people around, Yun Yiyi could just sit back and do nothing.

Butcher Yun and his men worked for over ten minutes, clearing the resting and cooking areas. Butcher Yun and the eldest Yun went to collect stones to build a stove. The second and third Yuns went to feed the donkey. Zhang began preparing the food.

Zhang glanced outside the woods. The sun was still high in the sky, perfect for making steamed buns. Never mind, she decided to mix cornmeal and flour together to make steamed buns. It wouldn't be ostentatious, but it would still taste good.

Zhang first found the leftover dough from last time and placed it in a basin. She added water, crushed it, and kneaded it into a paste. Then, she added cornstarch and flour to the basin. She didn't stop until the basin was half full.

Next, Zhang began kneading the dough. The batter at the bottom was a little low, so she added half a bucket of water. Once she had kneaded the dough into a smooth paste in the basin, she covered it with a cloth.

"Yiyi, I want to put the wash basin in the sun behind the woods to warm up. Can you help watch it for me?" Zhang picked up the wash basin and asked Yun Yiyi, who was about to fall asleep leaning against a tree.

"Okay, Mom, let's go." Yun Yiyi stood up and rubbed her eyes. It was really easy to feel sleepy in this weather.

Zhang took Yun Yiyi about seven or eight meters away and asked her to sit under a tree. She placed the wash basin on a clean stone.

"Yiyi, just sit there. When this piece of cloth is lifted up later, call me." Zhang instructed.

"I know, Mom. It's so hot today, I guess the dough will rise soon." Yun Yiyi replied loudly, biting a piece of hay in her mouth and putting her legs on the ground.

"Thank you for your hard work, Yiyi. Mother will go back and prepare dinner for tonight." After saying this, Zhang went back to work.

After about five or six minutes, Yun the Butcher came back with Brother Yun carrying three big stones.

"Yiyi, why are you sitting here?" Brother Yun asked from a distance.

"Dad, brother, Mom just made some dough and asked me to watch over the basin here." Yun Yiyi pointed to the basin on the stone not far away.

"Okay, then you continue to watch. Your brother and I will go back to build the stove." After saying this, Butcher Yun took Boss Yun away.

A few minutes later, Mrs. Li from next door also came over with a large basin, followed by her eldest granddaughter.

"Grandma Wu, what are you carrying?"

"Xiao Yiyi, I'm holding the basin. Ever since your mother and I learned how to use the sun to speed up the rise of dough last time, I now love to steam buns. I think steaming buns is much faster than making pancakes." Li said happily.

"Grandma Wu, you're right. Steaming buns is just faster than making pancakes."

"I'll put the washbasin together with yours, and you and my Wu Mei can play together for a while." Li said as she put the washbasin next to the Yun family's washbasin.

Yun Yiyi glanced up at the two basins, not worried about making a mistake. The Wu family's basin was simply too large, probably a full circle larger than the Yun family's. However, considering the large number of people in the Wu family, they must have eaten a lot of steamed buns.

Li put down the basin and left. The two girls, Wu Mei and Yun Yiyi, started chatting.

"Yiyi, let me tell you, during the Chinese New Year two years ago, I ate a kind of fish at my grandma's house. It was really delicious."

"The fish isn't braised, nor is it steamed. Grandma said it's called crispy fish. Crispy fish tastes better than stewed fish, and the whole thing is stewed until it's tender, so you can eat it straight away without having to spit out the bones."

"Wu Mei, I've never eaten the fish you mentioned. At least my mother has never cooked it." Yun Yiyi said a little disappointedly.

"It's okay, Yiyi. My mom knows how to make it. My grandma saw that we all loved it, so she taught her the recipe. My mom also made it once at my grandma's house. I tried it, and it tasted the same as my grandma's, and it was delicious too." Wu Mei patiently comforted Yun Yiyi. It must be said that Wu Mei is a competent big sister.

"When my mother makes fried fish, you can come to my house to eat it. My grandma and grandpa like you very much, and they will definitely be happy to have you come to my house for dinner."

Yun Yiyi was also very happy after hearing Wu Mei's words. It turned out that she was so popular in the Wu family.

"Sister Wu Mei, let me tell you, the spicy rabbit my mom makes is also really delicious. Especially when it's added with our homemade pickled peppers and ginger, the sour, spicy, and fragrant rabbit meat makes you want to eat it again and again."

"Later, if my family catches rabbits, I'll have my mother make spicy rabbit meat. Then, I'll invite you to my house for dinner." Yun Yiyi was a kind girl who always reciprocated. So, she also arranged a job for Zhang.
