"Yiyi, if my husband accepted a student like you, he would definitely be very happy. Apart from anything else, he would be particularly fond of your enthusiasm for learning every day."

"Haha, Brother Zirui. I want to learn because I don't know how. Once I learn, do you think I still want to learn?"

Xie Zirui was confused, "Yiyi, can we still do this?"

Yun Yiyi smiled wickedly and nodded, "Brother Zirui, I have the same idea as you. I don't like studying either."

Xie Zirui looked helpless, "Well, I misjudged you."

Yun Yiyi laughed happily.

"Yiyi, Zirui, come and eat."

"Here I come, Dad."

"Brother Zirui, let's go eat."

"Okay. Big brother and the others are going down the mountain pretty fast. It's not dark yet."

"It's better if it's dark, so we don't have to light oil lamps to eat."

The two little ones chatted while washing their hands. By the time they got to the dining table, everyone was there except them.

"Brother, you guys are moving pretty fast. Have you picked up all the wild vegetables?"

Brother Yun shook his head. "Yiyi, we just put down the basket and washed our hands and came to eat. Mom and Dad haven't gone to check on the wild vegetables they dug yet."

"Yiyi, I saw from a distance that you guys dug quite a lot of wild vegetables today. Your baskets are all full."

"Yes, all three baskets are full, which is rare. I guess you must be hungry, so let's eat quickly."

"Okay, Dad, Mom. You guys eat too."

Everyone held a big pie and started eating it.

Zhang also specially prepared a plate of shredded radish, and for soup, she cooked half a pot of sweet potato porridge.

The sweet potato porridge took so long to cook that the sweet potatoes almost melted. A sip of it gave me a rich sweet potato flavor.

While eating, Yun Yiyi thought that her elder brother and the others must not have had time to tell Zhang and Yun the butcher that they had found wild chestnuts and wild hawthorns.

Otherwise, according to Zhang's temper, everyone would be eating at this time, and Zhang and Yun the butcher should be happily holding the baskets and laughing.

The more Yun Yiyi thought about the scene, the more she wanted to laugh, so she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Yiyi, what's wrong with you? Why are you laughing suddenly?"

Yun Yiyi didn't answer or react at all.

Zhang called out again, "Yiyi, what are you laughing at?"

Yun Yiyi was suddenly awakened, "Mom, what's wrong? What happened?"

"How can you be distracted while eating? What were you laughing at just now?"

"Oh, mother, it's okay, I just thought of something happy."

Zhang gave the child a reproachful look and said, "Eat well, and after dinner, help me pick some wild vegetables."

Yun Yiyi answered readily, "Okay, mother."

Yun Yiyi secretly thought that with just the few wild vegetables in the basket, it wouldn't take many people to pick them. Two people could finish the job in no time.

After hearing what Zhang said, Brother Yun and the others remained silent. When Zhang finished her meal, she saw the basket and realized that there were not many wild vegetables left.

The pies and sweet potato porridge that Zhang made today were very much to everyone's liking.

Therefore, later on everyone was busy eating and no one chatted at all.

The meal time was spent happily like this.

After the meal, Zhang and Yun the butcher cleared the table and dishes, and the children were sent to rest.

The sun had just set when Zhang and Yun the Butcher finished cleaning up. It was still a little light, not completely dark yet.

"Big brother, second brother, third brother, come and help mom pick wild vegetables."

Zhang took a small stool and placed it next to the basket, and Yun the butcher brought over a large wooden basin to put the picked wild vegetables in.

"Here we are, Mom." Brother Yun and the others also brought small stools and came over to help pick wild vegetables.

They picked the wild vegetables early before it got dark, so that Zhang and Yun the butcher could have a rest early.

Even though they were at home, they did a lot of work. After a whole day, they were both exhausted.

There is strength in numbers, and this saying is indeed true.

Zhang and his companions quickly picked all the wild vegetables in the basket.

By this time, it was already dark and the vegetables in the basket were barely visible.

Butcher Yun lit an oil lamp and placed it next to the wooden basin to provide illumination.

Brother Yun said, "Dad, Mom, we've picked all the wild vegetables in the basket. Let's go and rest."

Zhang looked at the half-filled wooden basin of wild vegetables and said, "Boss, there are still some in the basket. Why did you say you had picked them all?"

"Three baskets this big, can't they just hold these few wild vegetables?"

Butcher Yun was also a little surprised. "Yes, Boss, I see there are still some things in the basket. But you guys must be tired after working all day. You should all go and rest."

Zhang also spoke up, "Yes, Boss, your father and I will slowly work on the remaining wild vegetables. You all should go and rest."

"Mom, Dad, you two take your time. We're going to rest now."

"Okay, all of you go."

So, Big Brother Yun took Second Brother Yun and Third Brother Yun to rest. The three of them laughed secretly as they walked.

Yun Yiyi and Xie Zirui were standing by, looking at the three funny Yun brothers with smiles on their faces.

Zhang whispered, "Master, I feel like something's wrong. What are the children laughing at?"

"I don't know either. Is it because he is so happy that he doesn't have to pick wild vegetables?" Yun the butcher also looked confused.

Zhang rolled her eyes at Yun the butcher and said, "Master, how can you talk like that? You can't talk like that about a child."

"Okay, I'll listen to you and stop talking."

Zhang smiled and said, "That's more like it."

Zhang picked the wild vegetables in her hand and put them in the wooden basin. Then she reached into the basket to take out the wild vegetables.

Oh, that’s not right. Why are there no wild vegetables?

Zhang, unconvinced, reached her hand inside, but instead of feeling any wild vegetables, she felt a handful of round, hard objects.

"Boss, I didn't feel any wild vegetables, but a bunch of round, hard things. Can you help me see what it is?"

"Okay, let me take a look."

Zhang put her hand under the oil lamp, and the two of them leaned over to take a look. The round, hard object was a chestnut.

"It's chestnuts." Zhang was about to shout, but she stopped talking.

"Yes, it's chestnuts, wife. What I saw were also chestnuts. Not wild vegetables."

The two of you looked at each other, both a little confused.

Suddenly, Yun the butcher dragged the entire basket under the oil lamp.

He and Zhang picked up the oil lamp and shone it into the basket. Most of the basket was filled with chestnuts, all of which were shelled.

Zhang felt incredible. She reached into the basket and then into the chestnuts, and there were chestnuts underneath.

It turns out that this basket is full of chestnuts. The children must have picked wild chestnuts in the mountains.
