As soon as Brother Yun San slid down, he saw thorn balls all over the ground.

"Ah, Yiyi, these are chestnuts. There are so many."

Yun Yiyi listened to Third Brother Yun's yelling and remained calm. "Third Brother, yes, these are chestnut balls. Look ahead, there are two more chestnut trees there."

"Yiyi, you're so lucky. You slipped and still found a chestnut tree."

"Haha, Third Brother, don't worry, I'm here and I won't let anyone go hungry."

"Yiyi, I'm going to take a look ahead."

"Go ahead, Third Brother. The eldest brother is coming down. I'll talk to him."

So the third brother happily went to explore the front.

After waiting for a while, Second Brother Yun and First Brother Yun also slid down.

When they came down, the first thing they saw was the chestnut balls all over the ground.

"Yiyi, the second thing you found, could it be this chestnut?"

"Yes, big brother, it's the chestnut. I didn't tell you because I wanted to give you a surprise."

"Haha, this surprise is something my brother and I both like. This chestnut is much better than wild hawthorn, and it makes us happy."

"Yes, Yiyi, these chestnuts can be stored and eaten as food. If we eat chestnuts, we can save a lot of food."

"Big brother is right. I guess Mom and Dad will be very happy if they know we found chestnuts."

"Haha, that's great! We can save a lot of food again. The other day, Mom said that our food was consumed too quickly, and she was still hesitating whether to let everyone eat less."

"When you get back, just mix it with grain. When the weather gets colder, grain will be hard to buy, and the price will be much higher."

Brother Yun picked up a stone and opened a chestnut ball. He found that the chestnuts inside were very big and fresh.

He put the chestnuts into the basket, and then continued to hit the chestnut balls with stones.

Brother Yun also took a stone and started to knock the chestnut balls.

Yun Yiyi was a little confused. Why did Brother Yun and Brother Yun's painting styles differ from others?

"Big brother, second brother, stop smashing chestnuts. I'm telling you, there are two more chestnut trees ahead."

"There are still a lot of chestnuts on the tree. We have to knock all the chestnuts off the tree first, and then we can make chestnut balls."

Hearing Yun Yiyi's words, Big Brother Yun and Second Brother Yun threw the stones in their hands and said, "Yiyi, are those two chestnut balls big? Are there many chestnuts?"

"The chestnut tree is very big, and there are a lot of chestnuts. Big brother, second brother, come with me to the front to take a look. Third brother and Zirui brother have already gone there."

"Okay, Yiyi, you lead the way."

So, Yun Yiyi walked in front, followed by Big Brother Yun and Second Brother Yun, and they all headed towards the chestnut tree.

"Yiyi, big brother, second brother, come here quickly. There are still many chestnuts on this chestnut tree."

Hearing Third Brother Yun’s shout, everyone quickened their pace.

Soon, a huge chestnut tree appeared in front of everyone.

I guess chestnuts ripen late in the mountains. The chestnut leaves are still lush green, and most of the chestnut balls are still green too.

However, both Big Brother Yun and Second Brother Yun had opened the chestnut balls, so they knew that the chestnuts were ripe.

"Brother, brother, there's another chestnut tree up ahead. I've seen it before, and it's about the same size as this one. There are also a lot of chestnuts on the tree."

"Third brother, I saw it. This chestnut tree is really full of chestnuts."

"Yes, brother. I was also shocked when I saw it. Fortunately, we came early this year, so not many chestnuts fell."

If you arrive too late, the chestnut balls will all fall to the bottom of the tree, and if it rains, they will rot quickly."

Brother Yun used a wooden stick to poke the chestnut balls on the ground, and sure enough, only the top layer of chestnut balls was good. The ones below were all rotten.

"Brother, please arrange for some people to go up the tree to knock chestnuts, and some to pick hawthorns."

"Well, third brother, you take the two little ones and go pick wild hawthorns. The second brother and I will knock chestnuts off the trees. When we're done, we'll come find you."

"Okay, big brother."

"Yiyi, Zirui, I'll take you two to pick wild hawthorns. Of course, you two can just pick the wild hawthorns and eat them. I can pick them myself, and I'm pretty fast."

Yun Yiyi and Xie Zirui happily followed Brother Yun San to pick wild hawthorns.

Brother Yun Da Ge and Brother Yun Er returned to the hillside. They kicked down two small trees and removed their branches and leaves.

Then they took the bare sapling and came to the chestnut tree.

"Third brother, you go knock the chestnuts from that tree. I'll knock the chestnuts from this tree."

"Okay, big brother."

Brother Yun San carried the small tree and continued walking forward.

Brother Yun stopped, raised the small tree and hit the chestnut ball on the tree.

Brother Yun was very strong, and he waved the small tree vigorously. The chestnuts fell down like rain.

The same goes for Brother Yun San.

At this time, Brother Yun was very grateful for his great strength, as this would give him a better chance of finding food in the mountains.

Brother Yun Da Ge and Brother Yun San Ge worked hard for more than half an hour, sweating profusely, before they finally knocked all the chestnuts off the tree.

Brother Yun looked at the chestnuts piled high on the ground and smiled happily. "What a great day! We've had a good harvest."

However, how to transport these chestnuts back is also a big problem.

If I carry the ball down the mountain, I will have to make several more trips.

However, after going down the mountain, the chestnut balls still have to be cracked open.

"Second brother, how about we open all the chestnuts on the mountain and bring them down directly?"

"Okay, big brother, I was thinking about this a while ago. It would be much easier if we could just carry the ball down with us. But there are so many people down there, and we'd be too conspicuous."

"It's better to take the chestnuts with you so they won't be conspicuous. We can then secretly dry them behind the woods, with someone watching. If anyone shows up, we can just put them away."

"Yes, let's smash chestnuts then."

"Brother, let's go pull up a small tree and use it as a broom to sweep the chestnuts into piles. Then I'll have Yiyi knock them with her iron stick."

"Yes. Your idea is good. Yiyi's iron stick is not only strong, but also easy to use. With this blow, many chestnut balls will open."

"Brother, as long as the chestnut ball opens, we can take the chestnuts."

"Okay, then I'll go pull out the small trees. How about we pull out two and sweep together? That way we can sweep faster?"

"Okay, big brother, I'll go with you."

"To be honest, brother, I see so many chestnuts. I don't feel tired at all."

Brother Yun smiled broadly, "Who says not? Even if it's tiring, I'm willing to do it. These are all food."

"Let's go, big brother."

Big Brother Yun and Second Brother Yun came to the hillside, picked two smaller trees, and pulled them up directly.
