"Okay, Yiyi. Mom will pick the cabbages in the afternoon. Some of them will be kept for us to eat fresh, some will be used to make kimchi, and some will be used to make sauerkraut." Zhang said good-temperedly.
"Mom, you are the best mother in the world." Yun Yiyi said happily.
"Of course, your mother is also the best daughter-in-law in the world." Butcher Yun looked at Zhang and said gently.
"Okay, eat quickly, and then go to sleep for a while." After hearing what Yun the Butcher said, Zhang rolled her eyes at him and said embarrassedly.
Butcher Yun burst into laughter when he saw this. Yun Yiyi and the three Yun brothers quickened their eating pace. It was truly intoxicating. Butcher Yun was always showing off his affection whenever he saw the opportunity.
"Dad, I was thinking of taking me for a walk in the woods behind after I wake up. When I went out to pick up stones before, I found that the trees on the top of the mountain were still green. I guess there should be no shortage of water on the top of the mountain. I wanted to go and see if I can find some water." Yun Yiyi put down the bowl and said to Yun the Butcher.
"We don't have much water at home. I guess the villagers don't have much water either. Let me ask the village chief to find a few people to go with us to look for water. If we go alone, there won't be enough people."
"Besides, at most you and your eldest brother will come with me. Your second and third brothers will have to help your mother at home."
"Okay, Dad, it's better to find a few people with good skills. If we really reach the top of the mountain, I don't think it will be safe." Yun Yiyi said worriedly.
"Don't worry, I will talk to the village chief in detail. It would be best if we can find water in the mountains. If not, we can bring back some firewood. It won't be a wasted trip." Yun the Butcher comforted Yun Yiyi.
"Yeah, okay, Dad. I will definitely follow you into the mountains anyway." Yun Yiyi said.
"Dad, I don't want to follow you into the mountains. Once you and Yiyi go into the mountains, only mom and two younger brothers will be left at home. I'm worried. I want to stay at home." Brother Yun said embarrassedly.
"Okay, big brother. You've been very thoughtful this time. Just as you said, you and the second, third, and fourth brothers will stay home and help your mother with cooking and cleaning." Yun the Butcher said with a look of satisfaction. Not bad, not bad, the big brother is now a qualified little man, and he's more thoughtful than before. Yun the Butcher was very happy.
"Okay, Dad." After hearing what Yun the Butcher said, Boss Yun smiled embarrassedly.
"Second brother, third brother, I want you two to stay at home and help your mother. Are you willing?" Yun the butcher asked.
"Dad, I am willing. I am still young. When I can practice Kung Fu well like Yiyi, I will be able to help you." The first to speak was the sensible second brother Yun.
"Dad, I'm willing too. Even if I go to the mountains with you now, I will be a burden to you, unlike Yiyi, who can help you if she goes." Brother Yun said embarrassedly.
"Eldest, second, and third, you are all good children of your parents. You are all very sensible and have helped your parents a lot. Although your skills are not as good as Yiyi's, your parents love you just as much." Yun the Butcher said happily.
"Yes, we can't compare them like that. Yiyi is good at martial arts because she met a good master. It was her good luck and her own hard work and diligence that led to her where she is today. Mother believes that if you have that kind of luck, you will do very well too." Zhang said earnestly.
"Yes, brother, when I come back in the evening, I will teach you some moves. You can practice more before going to bed at night." Yun Yiyi also said.
After hearing what everyone said, the three Yun brothers laughed embarrassedly.
After everyone finished eating, Yun Lao Da helped Zhang wash the pots and pans. Yun Yiyi, Yun Er Ge, and Yun San Ge went to sleep on the mats laid out under the tree.
Butcher Yun arrived at the village chief's campsite. The village chief and his family had already finished their meal and were sitting together chatting. When the village chief saw Butcher Yun coming, he invited him to sit down.
"Yun the Butcher, is there something you want to talk to me about?" the village chief asked curiously.
"Village chief, this is what happened. When I went to the woods to collect firewood, I noticed that the trees on the top of the mountain were green. I figured there should be water near the top of the mountain. So, I wanted to take my daughter Yiyi to the mountains to look for water."
"If we can find water, all of us villagers can get some water. If we can't find water, we can collect some firewood. I want you to ask if there is anyone in the village who is willing to go with us." Yun the butcher said loudly.
"That's a good idea. We don't have much water left, so if we can find some, it would be a great thing."
"Okay, I understand about this. You go back and rest for a while. I'll go to the village and ask if there's anyone willing to go with me. I'll ask them to come find you after they wake up. What do you think?" asked the village chief.
"Okay, village chief, let them come to my house to find me in an hour and a half. I estimate that we are still far from the top of the mountain, so we must set off early. I will only wait for ten minutes, and if you are late, don't follow me." Yun the Butcher said after thinking for a while.
"Okay, it's a good thing to set off early. If you leave early, it won't be too hot walking in the woods. Anyway, it's better to go early and come back early." said the village chief.
"Then I'll go back and rest first, village chief." Yun the butcher said and walked back.
"You go back, I'll go to the village to ask now." The village chief stood up and walked towards a nearby house.
When Butcher Yun returned, the children were all asleep. Zhang was still awake, feeding and watering the hens.
"Wife, why haven't you slept yet?" Yun the butcher asked in a low voice.
"Boss, I just replaced the grass under the hen with clean grass. It will be fine now. Just give it more water." Zhang said in a low voice.
"Did the hen lay eggs today?" Butcher Yun asked curiously while looking at the hen.
"I was just about to tell you, boss, the hen laid an egg today. I picked it up and put it together with the eggs we bought." Zhang said happily.
"Haha, that's great. As long as we feed the hens well, we won't have a shortage of eggs. Wife, now you know your daughter has good taste, right? Yiyi doesn't even know how to buy chickens, but she actually managed to buy back a laying hen." Yun the butcher said in surprise.
"Wife, I thought it all out. If the hen Yiyi bought doesn't lay eggs, we'll kill it and eat the meat. That way, the child won't think he spent a lot of money and got ripped off."
"Of course she should. Yiyi is so young, how can she tell the difference so clearly? The head of the household is right. Even if the hen doesn't lay eggs, it's not that Yiyi has bad eyesight. We can only blame the chicken seller for deceiving the child." Zhang said defensively.
"Master, to be honest, our Yiyi has really good taste. The corn, potatoes, and cotton she bought herself, including this hen, are all very good." Zhang said happily.
