"Sister-in-law, you are too polite. You have so many children in your family, and you still send so many buns to my family." Zhang declined.
"Sister-in-law, I put some dried wild vegetables in these buns, so I can pack so many. I brought them to you right after they came out of the pot, so eat them while they're hot."
"I'll put the buns in your bowl and I'll go home for dinner too." Li urged in a low voice.
"Okay, sister-in-law." Zhang placed all the buns that Li had brought on the plate on the dining table. Then, she handed the empty bowl to Li.
"Thank you, sister-in-law. You can try my cooking some other day." Zhang said happily.
"Okay, then I'll be waiting. No more talking, you go and eat, I'll go back and eat too." After saying that, Li walked back quickly.
Zhang looked at the steaming buns on the plate and thought that Wu's wife was a kind person and she could get to know her better in the future.
"Mom, I counted and there are 6 buns." Brother Yun San hurriedly counted.
"Mom, can I eat the buns?" Yun Yiyi hadn't eaten buns for a long time and she was craving them.
"Wife, let's eat, shall we? The buns are still hot, and they are the best to eat now." Yun the Butcher said while looking at the buns.
"Boss, give each of you a bun. Eat it while it's hot." Zhang said readily.
After hearing what Zhang said, Brother Yun San, who was closest to Zhang, quickly picked up a bun and handed it to Zhang.
"Mom, you've worked hard cooking. Eat first."
"Okay, my third child is caring now." Zhang took the bun and started eating happily.
Yun Yiyi, who was standing next to him, also picked up a bun and handed it to Yun the Butcher.
"Dad, you've worked hard too."
Butcher Yun took the bun handed to him by Yun Yiyi. He looked at Yun Yiyi's big, twinkling eyes and slightly chubby face, and he smiled happily.
"It's still the little girl who loves her daddy. Girl, you eat too."
After listening to what Yun the Butcher said, Yun Yiyi picked up another bun and started eating.
"Mom, this is delicious. It contains diced bacon, dried wild vegetables, and cabbage. It is fragrant and delicious. Mom, the stuffing prepared by Grandma Wu's family is really delicious." Yun Lao San said in surprise.
"Mom, this meat filling is really delicious." Yun Yiyi also affirmed.
"Mom, I think it tastes better than the fresh meat we usually eat." This is the opinion of Second Brother Yun.
"Mom, I didn't expect that bacon can be used to make buns. Although it's a bit strange, it's really delicious." Boss Yun also expressed his opinion.
"Wife, I think we can try it this way next time. It's really delicious and chewier than fresh pork." Yun the Butcher said while eating.
Zhang swallowed the bun in her mouth. It was true that bacon was chewier than fresh pork. She usually ate fresh pork, but since she couldn't buy fresh pork right now, she must have used bacon.
"Okay, mom thinks it's delicious too. Then when we have time, we can make a pot. Then, we can add more lard, and it will definitely be more fragrant." Zhang said readily.
Yun Yiyi and the others cheered softly when they heard Zhang's words. It had to be said that both Zhang and Yun the Butcher doted on their children.
When Zhang and Yun the Butcher saw the children were happy, they looked at each other and laughed softly.
After Yun Yiyi and the others finished breakfast, Zhang and Yun the Butcher began to busily pack their belongings into the car. Yun's eldest brother, along with his younger siblings, assisted. With more people, the work went much faster. By the time everyone had packed up, it was still getting dark.
At this time, the village chief started driving his car towards the official road. The villagers behind him lined up one by one and walked towards the official road.
Butcher Yun waited until Old Man Wu and his family joined the queue, then he also took his family to the end of the queue and set off with the team.
Yun Yiyi glanced into the woods and saw that many refugees were still sleeping. She then looked towards the official road, and there weren't many refugees there either.
The village chief's carriage gradually picked up speed, and the villagers behind him followed closely behind. Yun Yiyi also quickened her pace beside him, thankfully it wasn't too hot. If it were too hot, she wouldn't be able to go any faster.
It was not until almost noon that the team slowed down as there were more refugees on the road and everyone was tired.
Yun Yiyi turned to the right and looked at the refugees walking. They were thin, their clothes seemed to hang from their bodies. They walked forward numbly, no one in the group spoke, and the atmosphere was lifeless.
Suddenly, Yun Yiyi seemed to see a familiar figure. It was probably a child, short and thin. There seemed to be an adult following him. But in the blink of an eye, the person disappeared.
Yun Yiyi rubbed her eyes, seriously suspecting she had misjudged him. Of course, it was also possible that she had seen him. However, the time was too short, and Yiyi couldn't be sure if it was someone she knew.
Yun Yiyi thought about it and thought it might be the grandparents and grandchildren she had met before. It seemed like she hadn't seen them for a long time, and she didn't know if they had any food. If she saw them again, Yun Yiyi would definitely give them more food.
"Yiyi, stop being dazed and hurry up and catch up. The village chief said that we will stop to rest after walking a little further." Zhang said as she pulled Yun Yiyi's arm.
"Here I am, Mom. I seemed to see an acquaintance just now, but he disappeared in the blink of an eye." After Yun Yiyi said this, she looked at the refugees next to her.
"There are too many people here now, so follow me closely. When we get to the county town, most of the refugees will stop, and you might run into your friend then."
"I understand, Mom. Let's move forward quickly. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and I don't know how long it will take us to walk?" Yun Yiyi complained.
"It should be soon. Yiyi, if you are tired, go sit on the donkey cart for a while." Zhang's caring words rang out.
"Mom, I can hold on for a while."
Zhang used a towel to wipe the sweat off Yun Yiyi's face and neck, and Yun Yiyi felt much cooler.
Yun Yiyi and the others continued walking for more than half an hour before the village chief finally called for everyone to stop. Standing by the road, he pointed to an empty patch of woods and asked everyone to go inside to rest.
The village chief had actually wanted to let everyone rest for a while, but he hadn't found a suitable place. Either the trees along the road were too sparse, so you'd be sunburned if you went in, or they were already occupied by refugees.
Finding a large forest that could accommodate all of Yunjia Village wasn't easy. However, the village chief finally found a suitable forest. He quickly asked everyone to stop and enter the forest. This way, everyone could occupy the area first, and no outsiders would enter the forest belonging to the Yunjia Villagers.
