"Hehe, there's no need to guess. Wood ear mushrooms usually grow on very tall trees." Second Brother Yun, who came over at some point, said this.
"Your eldest brother has picked fresh wood ear mushrooms before, so we know they grow on very tall trees." However, Yiyi needs someone to watch her when she climbs trees. She once fell down a tree and broke her head.
After Xie Zirui listened to what Zhang and Second Brother Yun said, he finally understood why Yun Yiyi had secretly climbed the tree. She was probably afraid that the adults would nag her.
"Aunt, second brother, don't worry, Yiyi is not hurt. I was watching from under the tree when Yiyi was climbing."
"Zirui is still reliable." Second Brother Yun patted Xie Zirui's shoulder in agreement.
"Zirui is much more dependent than Yiyi. Yiyi, this little bastard, always does things that make people nervous." Zhang said hatefully.
"Mom, I see there are quite a lot of fungus in the basket. Yiyi and Zirui have also made great efforts, so you should stop nagging me."
"What are you talking about? Can't I just say it?" Zhang gently twisted Yun Erge's ear.
"Mom, my ears are about to fall off. You'd better cook quickly. Otherwise, your precious little girl will be full just by eating peaches." Second Brother Yun winked, asking Zhang to look back at Yun Yun Yiyi who was eating peaches not far away.
Yun Yiyi had her back to everyone, and she was seen holding a peach in each hand, taking a bite of this peach, then a bite of the other peach, and soon finished both peaches. Then, Yun Yiyi picked up two more peaches and started eating them.
"Oh my, this little bastard, he ate too many peaches and won't have any room to eat soon. He'll definitely be hungry before dinner time."
Zhang let go of her hand and hurried towards Yun Yiyi.
"Zi Rui, wash your hands and eat the peaches. I just washed quite a few, so there should be enough. But don't eat too much, because we'll be eating soon."
"Thank you, second brother. I'll go now." Xie Zirui was very touched at this moment. He liked the family atmosphere of the Yun family very much. It was very warm and made people nostalgic.
"Yiyi, how many peaches have you eaten? Are you planning to not eat later?" Zhang said while twisting Yun Yiyi's big ears.
"Mom, mom, please let go first. Let's talk it out." Yun Yiyi's ears were attacked, and she stopped eating the peach.
"Humph, not only did you secretly climb the tree, but you also ate so many peaches. Can peaches be eaten as a meal? You'll be hungry soon."
"Mom, I didn't do it on purpose. Those wood ears were growing on the trees, and I had to pick them when I saw them."
"Mom, I'll just finish the peaches in my hand and stop eating them. Is that okay with you?" Yun Yiyi asked pitifully.
"Okay, after you finish eating the peaches, go to the car and wake up your dad. Ask him to help carry the firewood back. The meal here is almost ready, so we'll be able to eat soon."
"Okay, mother. You go ahead and do your work. I'll go get my father now."
"You little bastard. If you had always been so obedient, I would have to worry less." Zhang let go of her hand and said regretfully.
Yun Yiyi ran away in a flash.
"Zirui, come here and eat some peaches. Auntie will go to cook. Just hold on for a while and then we'll be able to eat." Zhang looked at Xie Zirui with a friendly expression.
"Okay, thank you, Auntie."
Zhang touched Xie Zirui's head and went back to cook.
Xie Zirui picked up a peach and started eating it. Although the peach was not big, it was very sweet, crisp and delicious.
"Dad, Dad, wake up."
"Yiyi, what's wrong?" Yun the Butcher rubbed his eyes and sat up.
"Dad, Mom asked me to wake you up. She asked you to go to the woods and help carry back all the firewood we collected."
Butcher Yun was a little confused when he saw Yun Yiyi sitting next to him eating peaches.
"I slept all morning. How come your mother didn't wake me up when the mule cart stopped? I was so sleepy I thought it wasn't even noon yet."
"Mom told you to sleep a little longer. She didn't want us to wake you up. This afternoon, Zirui, my eldest brother, and my third brother went to collect firewood. My eldest brother and third brother also cut a lot of grass."
"Then you play here. I'm going to the woods to carry firewood." After saying this, Yun the Butcher hurriedly jumped off the mule cart and walked into the woods.
"Wife, I'm going to fetch firewood."
"Okay, hurry up, dinner will be ready soon."
"I understand." Yun the Butcher's voice became increasingly distant.
"Yiyi, do you still want to eat peaches? I brought you a peach." Xie Zirui quietly entered the carriage.
"Shh, Brother Zirui, I want to eat peaches. But, my mother didn't notice that you gave me peaches, right?" Yun Yiyi took the peach and started to chew it with a crunch.
"Probably not. I came here with my hands behind my back." Xie Zirui scratched his head uncertainly.
The truth was, both Zhang and Second Brother Yun saw the peach in Xie Zirui's hand, but they both turned their heads away, pretending not to see it.
"Haha, Brother Zirui, you're great."
Xie Zirui blushed with embarrassment.
"Brother Zirui, can you teach me how to read?"
"Okay, but I don't have paper and pen now, so I can't teach you?" Xie Zirui said in embarrassment.
"That's easy, Brother Zirui. When we get off the car, you can write on the ground with a stick and teach me how to read. You don't need to teach me how to write yet."
"That's an idea. Okay, finish eating the peach and then we'll get started." Xie Zirui was still very happy. He could finally satisfy his desire to be a teacher.
"Brother Zirui, let's make a deal first. You only need to teach me five words a day."
"Okay, then five. After you learn these five, I will teach you other words." Xie Zirui couldn't wait to start teaching Yun Yiyi to recognize words.
Yun Yiyi saw Xie Zirui staring at her while eating the peach, so she quickly finished the peach and secretly threw the peach pit out of the carriage.
"Okay, Brother Zirui, we can start." Yun Yiyi jumped out of the car first.
Then, Xie Zirui also jumped down.
Xie Zirui found a branch and wrote five big words on the ground.
Yun Yiyi looked at it carefully and found that it looked a bit like traditional Chinese characters.
"Yiyi, these are people, sun, moon, fields, and clouds." Xie Zirui pointed at the Chinese characters on the ground with a branch and taught Yun Yiyi to read them one by one.
After all, Yun Yiyi was not truly illiterate. She quickly memorized these five words.
Xie Zirui felt that Yun Yiyi remembered too quickly. He wiped out all the words on the ground, and re-wrote the five words in a random order.
"Yiyi, read these words again.
"Don't worry, Brother Zirui. This is a field, this is a person, this is the sun, this is the moon, and this is a cloud. Brother Zirui, am I reading it correctly?" Yun Yiyi looked up at Xie Zirui.
"Yiyi, you read everything correctly. You learn words really fast!"
