"Mom, why don't we build a bigger shack? Then we can fit all three of our cars inside."

"This way, when we go to bed at night, we can light a fire and stay warm. And even if it snows or rains, we won't be afraid because we have a shelter."

After hearing this, Zhang thought about it carefully and found that it made sense.

"Okay, let's build a bigger shack then."

"Mom, as long as Dad and Big Brother chop down the trees, building the shack will be much quicker. We still have a lot of bundles of firewood in the cart that can be used to build the shack."

"Put the branches on top of the shack and then cover it with tarpaulin."

"Yiyi, stop chatting and get to work." Third Brother Yun urged loudly.

"Got it, Third Brother."

By the time Butcher Yun and Brother Yun came down the mountain carrying the wood, Zhang and the children had just cleared the land.

"Wife, I didn't expect you mothers to work so fast."

"We were in a hurry to build the shack, so we moved a little faster."

"Boss, the children just discussed building a bigger shack so that we can put our car inside."

Butcher Yun wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Of course, wife. But in this case, you and the children will need to cut more grass."

"My eldest brother and I didn't bring down the branches of the trees we cut in the mountains. We'll tie them up with ropes and bring them down. We'll need them to build our shack.

"Okay. Let's split up then."

Zhang and her children were mowing grass nearby. The grass was quite tall, so after tying it up, it would fit perfectly on top of the shack.

The thing that was most abundant on the mountain was grass. Zhang and his friends worked efficiently and cut a lot of grass in a short time.

However, there is definitely someone who holds them back in the group, and that is Yun Yiyi.

Zhang didn't allow her to use a sickle to cut the grass, fearing she would get cut. Therefore, Yun Yiyi was asked by Zhang to gather the cut grass together so that it could be bundled later.

This job is easy and not tiring.

However, Yun Yiyi didn't want to run anymore after running more than ten times.

She sat down on the grass and said, "Mom, my arms are too short and I'm too slow to carry the grass. I'll go to Dad to help."

After hearing her words, Zhang and Brother Yun burst into laughter.

"Okay, Yiyi, go ahead."

Yun Yiyi bit a piece of grass in her mouth and slowly walked up the mountain.

"Dad, big brother, I'm here to help."

"Yiyi is here. Are you tired? Do you want to rest for a while?"

"Dad, I'm not tired. I can't chop down trees, so I'll just collect firewood."

"Okay, Yiyi, take your time."

Butcher Yun and Brother Yun were busy transporting the cut down trees down the mountain.

Two hours later, Yun the Butcher decided to build a shack.

"Dad, how do you want to build the shack?"

Butcher Yun thought for a moment and said, "The sheds for the mules and donkeys are set up separately in the back."

"We can put the shed where we store our car and the shed where we cook together."

"Dad, I just went to the shacks in the next village and took a look around. The shacks everyone built were quite simple."

Butcher Yun looked around and saw that some quick-working villagers had already built their shacks. However, the shacks were not very big.

"We'll do as we agreed. We'll build a small shack and a big one. After all, we'll be living here for two or three months, so we can't be too sloppy."

"Yes, the boss is right. We must build a better shack so that we can use it more conveniently."

Butcher Yun found a place near the persimmon tree.

He first dug a deep pit in each of the four corners, and then buried the tree trunks he had previously arranged in the four pits.

Zhang and the others filled the pit and tamped it firmly.

Yun the Butcher also chose to add another trunk between the two trunks. Between the trunks, Yun the Butcher planned to place bundles of firewood and tie them together with ropes, so that it would be airtight.

As for the roof, Yun the Butcher plans to just make a flat roof, which is convenient and quick to build.

He placed five more trunks on top of the tree trunk, and thus the framework of the roof was formed.

Of course, in order to make the trunk of the roof strong and prevent it from rolling back and forth, Yun the butcher dug grooves in the wood in advance, and it is best to place the wood directly on the grooves.

This way, the wood will be strong.

Zhang took her children and used firewood to build the four walls of the shack.

Butcher Yun and his brother Yun placed bundles of grass on the roof of the shack. They laid the grass in rows, one after another, and then secured it with ropes. Soon, the roof of the shack was complete.

After Zhang and the others had built the walls of the shack, Yun the butcher hung the door he had just made with branches on the door frame.

In this way, a shack four meters long and four meters wide was built.

As a final step, Yun the Butcher and Zhang covered the roof of the shack with tarpaulin to make it waterproof, and then weighed it down with a few bundles of firewood.

"Dad, I didn't expect this shack we built to be so warm."

"The shack is not only sturdy, but also beautiful."

"Dad, aren't there any more tarpaulins on the walls of the shack?"

Butcher Yun shook his head. "Yiyi, we built the walls of the shack with bundles of firewood. They're already very thick. Even if it rains, it won't seep in."

"Well, let's get back to work. It's getting late."

"I know, Dad."

After building one shack, everyone had experience, so the next shack, even if it was bigger, Yun the Butcher and his team were able to build it quickly.

Of course, this has a lot to do with the Yun family's great strength.

Finally, after the shack was built, the room on the left was used for cooking, and the room on the right was used for sleeping.

Taking into account the high smoke levels from cooking, the door to the kitchen does not reach the ceiling, leaving a one-third gap for smoke to escape.

On the sleeping side, Yun the Butcher had left a very small window, with only a few wooden sticks stuck in it, no oilcloth hung.

Everyone smiled when they saw the brand new shack. They could finally sleep peacefully tonight.

By this time, it was getting late, and several families in the village had already started cooking.

Zhang and Yun the butcher pushed the carriage into the shack and put it away.

The mules and donkeys were also taken to the shack and tied up.

The shack was quite large, so Butcher Yun deliberately placed them in three corners. The wood used to tie the ropes had been hammered into the ground by Butcher Yun, and it was very solid.

Brother Yun and the others helped put the grass and the people drinking water into the shack. Because it was daytime, the shack door was left open.

"Boss, why don't you build the stove before it gets dark?"

"Wife, take a rest. I'll go move the stones."

The stove would be used for several months, so Yun the Butcher thought of building a stove out of stones and covering the stones with mud to make it easier to use.

Butcher Yun and his brothers moved a pile of stones and put them in the kitchen.
