"Brother, this place is too far from the grove we live in now. Otherwise, we could use the weeds and peanut vines we dig up to feed our mules and donkeys."
Second Brother Yun looked at the piles of weeds with regret.
Yun Yiyi also felt it was a bit of a pity.
"Second brother, there's nothing we can do about this. It's really too far, so it's not worth the effort to transport all these weeds back."
"Brother is right. Weeds are everywhere. I don't think it's necessary for us to go to the trouble of carrying them back."
"Big brother, second brother, third brother, you guys better hurry up and dig up some peanuts. I'm almost catching up with you."
At Yun Yiyi's urging, the three Yun brothers stopped chatting and started digging the ground faster.
Yun Yiyi followed everyone, picking up peanuts skillfully.
It was indeed a little late, as most of the peanuts had already fallen to the ground. There were hardly any peanuts left on the peanut vines.
Fortunately, Brother Yun and his men were digging one after another like they were digging the ground, and they turned out all the peanuts that had fallen on the ground.
Yun Yiyi only needed to pick up the peanuts on the ground, which saved her the trouble of picking the peanuts off the peanut vines.
The three Yun brothers were strong, and the soil was soft, so they turned over the entire peanut field in just over an hour.
"Brother, this land is so fertile. The harvested peanuts have filled two and a half baskets."
"The key is that the peanuts are quite large. There are very few small peanuts that don't bear fruit. This yield is almost catching up with the peanuts we grow ourselves."
Brother Yun looked at the peanuts with a smile on his face. "Second brother, the ground under this is full of fallen leaves from the nearby woods."
"Over time, the leaves rot and become fertilizer. That's why it feels so easy to dig peanuts."
"If it were somewhere else on the mountain, the peanuts might not grow so well."
Second Brother Yun nodded in agreement.
"Brother, I miss the fried peanuts that mom makes. Of course, I like boiled peanuts too."
When Brother Yun San saw so many peanuts, his mind was full of how to eat them.
Yun Yiyi felt that Third Brother Yun really lived up to his reputation as a foodie.
"Third brother, based on what we've gained today, I think mother should be able to fulfill your wish."
Brother Yun San laughed out loud when he heard this.
Both Big Brother Yun and Second Brother Yun shook their heads helplessly.
At this moment, they were all picking peanuts carefully in the field, trying not to miss a single one.
After more than ten minutes, everyone picked up all the peanuts in the field and put them in the baskets.
Brother Yun picked up the two baskets filled with peanuts and he knew what was going on.
"Brother, how many thousand kilograms of peanuts do you think we harvested?"
Brother Yun San asked anxiously.
Second Brother Yun and Yun Yiyi also looked at First Brother Yun anxiously.
Brother Yun didn't keep the secret, "I weighed them, and the two baskets of peanuts probably weigh over 60 kilograms."
"Wow, that's too many." Brother Yun San shouted.
Yun Erge and Yun Yiyi also looked surprised. Although they also knew that there were a lot of peanuts.
However, it was Brother Yun who was most sensitive to weight. He said it was over 60 kilograms, so it must be these.
This output is indeed almost catching up with the harvest from the peanut field that I carefully tend at home.
Besides, these are peanuts dug from the mountains. They grow on their own, so there's no need to worry about them, just harvest them.
"Okay, don't be happy yet. It's already past noon. We have to hurry up and pack up and get ready to go home."
"As usual, cover the basket with the weeds we dug up. Third brother, you carry your empty basket."
"The second brother and I will carry the baskets of peanuts. Yiyi, you carry the stick and lead the way."
"Let's load up the wild celery and go home for dinner. I've been busy all morning and I'm starving."
"Brother, I'm hungry too." Brother Yun San said pitifully, holding his stomach.
"So, big brother asked you to carry the basket."
"That's right, I'm carrying an empty basket now." Brother Yun San reacted belatedly.
Yun Yiyi looked at Third Brother Yun and always felt that he was stupid because of hunger. Anyway, he looked not very smart.
Big Brother Yun and Second Brother Yun quickly put weeds on top of the basket, so that everyone would think the basket was filled with weeds.
"Yiyi, how about you give me the stick and I'll carry it for you?"
Yun Yiyi quickly walked to the front to lead the way, "Brother, no need, my stick is not heavy."
Yun Yiyi was afraid that Big Brother Yun would help her get the stick. She was already empty-handed, and Big Brother Yun and Second Brother Yun were carrying baskets.
Besides, Big Brother Yun and Second Brother Yun were not that old. Yun Yiyi really felt embarrassed.
"Third brother, hurry up and catch up. You're walking so slowly with an empty basket on your back."
"Here we are, Yiyi, don't walk so fast. Big brother and second brother won't be able to keep up with us soon."
"I can keep up, Third Brother. Just don't fall behind."
Third Brother Yun was speechless, but he still took a few quick steps and followed Yun Yiyi.
We walked for more than an hour and arrived at the mountain stream.
Brother Yun San put the wild celery he had picked earlier into the basket.
However, after he filled the basket, there was still a lot of wild celery left.
So, Big Brother Yun and Second Brother Yun threw away the weeds on the basket and put the wild celery in.
Finally, there was some wild celery left, which Brother Yun tied into a small bundle and held in his hand.
"Okay, we're close to home now. Let's hurry up and try to get home soon."
Brother Yun carried the basket on his back and urged his younger brothers and sisters to set off.
Now that we are here, we are indeed close to home.
No one spoke, their eyes fixed on the road ahead, and they soon returned home.
"Big brother, second brother, third brother, don't move yet. Let dad help you take the basket."
As soon as Yun the Butcher saw Brother Yun and the others, he hurried over to greet them.
"I know, Dad."
"Dad, hurry up, I'm starving."
"Dad, please unload the third brother's basket first. My eldest brother's and my baskets need to be put inside the carriage."
While helping Third Brother Yun unload the basket, Butcher Yun looked at Second Brother Yun in confusion, "What's wrong, Second Brother? Just put the wild celery here for now."
"After dinner, your mother and I will pickle them out. We can pickle the ones that need to be pickled. There's no need to put them in the carriage."
Yun Yiyi came over quietly, "Dad, there are treasures in the baskets of eldest and second brothers. Please put them in the carriage first. After dinner, you and mother can slowly clean up."
When Yun the Butcher heard this, he understood that the children had made a great harvest in the mountains.
So, he happily unloaded the baskets of Brother Yun (Big Brother) and Brother Yun (Second Brother) and moved them into the carriage.
