"Boss is right. We picked the persimmons, peaches, and hawthorns in the mountains. We didn't buy them. We just need to sell them and exchange them for food."
"It doesn't matter if they sell for a little less. Besides, there aren't many people who can buy all the peaches, hawthorns, and persimmons we have left at once.
"It's so hard to come across one, we must seize the opportunity."
"Dad, this is a great idea. If we weren't in a famine, we could still haggle over the price and sell as much as we can."
"But at this time, it's good enough to be able to sell it. Besides, we can exchange it for money to buy food."
Butcher Yun laughed heartily.
"Second brother, you really put in a lot of effort today." Yun Yiyi gave a thumbs up.
"The town is too chaotic. I was thinking of selling out quickly and going home." Second Brother Yun looked embarrassed.
"By the way, Dad, how much food did you buy today? Has the price of food gone up again?"
"I bought a bag of flour and a bag of cornmeal. Mainly, we were selling persimmons in town, and many people in town saw them."
"I was afraid if I bought too much food, people would follow us out of town to steal it. So, after thinking about it, I didn't dare to buy more."
Butcher Yun said unhappily.
"Master, this is quite a lot of food. It's enough to last us for a while."
Zhang looked at Yun the Butcher comfortingly.
"I know, but I just feel a little unhappy."
"Dad, be content with what you have. The food we have stored at home is enough for us to eat for the whole winter."
Butcher Yun made a bitter face and said, who said it wasn't true?
"Dad, if nothing happens tomorrow morning, we'll continue up the mountain."
"If I don't have anything to do tomorrow, I'll just be mowing the grass at the foot of the mountain. If you want to go up the mountain, go ahead. I'll be watching over the house."
"Big brother, second brother, third brother, let's go out early tomorrow morning. Let's go to the mountain stream. There are many places there, but there are also many places we haven't visited yet."
After Yun Yiyi finished speaking, she looked at Brother Yun (Eldest Brother), Brother Yun (Second Brother), and Brother Yun (Third Brother).
"Okay, Yiyi, we'll all listen to you about going up the mountain."
"Yes, Yiyi, wherever you say we should go, let's go to the mountains."
"Yiyi, as usual, you lead the way and we'll just follow you. You can make the reservation wherever you want to go."
Yun Yiyi nodded happily. The three Yun brothers were great in that they listened to advice.
And they don't feel ashamed to listen to a six-year-old child.
"Yiyi, you and big brother are going up the mountain tomorrow. Should I stay at home?"
Yun Yiyi slapped her forehead. She had forgotten about Xie Zirui.
So she turned her head and looked at Xie Zirui embarrassedly.
"Brother Zirui, the place we're going to is a bit far. We have to run a lot back and forth. Why don't you stay at home and help out?"
"There's a lot of work to do at home, and I need help."
Zhang said hurriedly, "Yes, Zirui, auntie is at home and can't handle it all by herself. Can you help auntie at home?"
"Okay, Auntie. I know I can't walk too far, and going up the mountain will only hinder my brothers."
"That's not true, Brother Zirui. When we're done with this, we can go up the mountain together."
Xie Zirui nodded.
"Okay, it's getting late. After dinner, you should all wash up and get ready for bed."
Zhang urged loudly.
"I understand, mother."
After Brother Yun finished speaking, he took his younger brothers and sisters to wash up.
"Big brother, Brother Zirui and I will chat for a while and then go to bed. You, the second brother, and the third brother don't have to wait for us, you can go to bed first."
After Yun Yiyi finished speaking, she pulled Xie Zirui and ran towards the official road.
The official road was deserted, not a single person was there.
Standing on the official road, you can see clusters of lights in the woods.
After Yun Yiyi stood still, she said, "Brother Zirui, tell me what you want to say. We're the only ones around here now."
Xie Zirui looked around and moved closer to Yun Yiyi.
"Yiyi, let me tell you, this morning, I saw the people that Mr. sent to look for me."
"What?" Yun Yiyi suddenly shouted.
Then, she lowered her voice again, "Brother Zirui, when is it? How come I don't know?"
"It was this morning, when the peddler came to sell his things. But you and your aunt were chatting at the time and didn't notice me."
Yun Yiyi suddenly realized, "Brother Zirui, is that the peddler? Are you sure you recognized him correctly?"
Xie Zirui shook his head affirmatively, "I'm not mistaken, Yiyi. I've confirmed that it was my husband who sent someone to find me."
Yun Yiyi felt like she was dreaming, a little unreal.
"Brother Zirui, are you leaving us?"
"Yiyi, I don't know either. I'm waiting for their news."
Yun Yiyi suppressed her reluctance and continued, "Brother Zirui, the bandits from Qingfeng Village are blocking the road right there."
"Even if your husband sent someone to look for you, you wouldn't be able to move on now, right?"
Xie Zirui shook his head. "Yiyi, my uncle came over and told us to continue waiting here. The bandits in Qingfeng Village are trying to figure out a solution."
Yun Yiyi was shocked again when she heard this. She had never expected that Brother Zirui's family was so powerful.
"Brother Zirui, are you saying they have a way to deal with the bandits in Qingfeng Village?"
Xie Zirui continued to shake his head, "Yiyi, I don't know about this either. But don't worry, no matter what, the bandits in Qingfeng Village have been cleared out, and we can move forward anytime."
When Yun Yiyi heard this, she understood what was going on.
"Brother Zirui, don't tell your family yet. Someone is here to look for you."
"Since they came to you secretly, they probably wanted to keep it a secret."
"So, when you leave, tell your family. After all, we're all in the same place, so we'll run into each other eventually."
Since Xie Zirui saw the person who came to see him today, he felt reluctant to leave.
"Okay, Yiyi, I'll listen to you. I'll tell Uncle Yun and Auntie when I leave."
"Brother Zirui, be happy. It's a good thing that you can go home."
Yun Yiyi patted Xie Zirui's shoulder comfortingly.
Xie Zirui's eyes were red. Fortunately, it was night and Yiyi couldn't see it, otherwise Yiyi would laugh at him.
"Brother Zirui, then you should stay home for the next few days. If they come looking for you again, it will be easier to find you."
"Okay. Now even if you ask me to follow you up the mountain, I don't want to go. I'll just be a hindrance."
"Brother Zirui, it's not that serious. We are still young. In a few years, it won't be like this anymore."
Xie Zirui nodded heavily. He said, "Everyone will grow up eventually, and everything will be fine when they grow up."
