After walking for another half an hour, Sisi saw a river ahead and a large open space beside it, so she said to Gao Pengcheng, "Uncle Gao, let's have lunch here today. What do you think?"
"Okay. I'll have someone go to a nearby village to buy some vegetables." They have some dry rations in their car.
"Okay." After agreeing with Gao Pengcheng, Sisi looked at Grandpa Yun again: "Grandpa, we're different now than before. Besides studying literature and martial arts, shouldn't we also learn how to find food and how to cook it? Otherwise, how embarrassing would it be to faint from hunger like Zhao Mazi?"
Grandpa Yun: That's right! Why did I only think about having them learn literature? "You're right. Great-Grandpa will have them learn it now."
Yun Yuqi: "..." You little rascal, Zhao Mazi is an idiot, but we're not idiots. "Grandpa, it's not too late to learn when we get to the border."
Grandpa Yun glared at Yun Yuqi. "It's better to be early than late. Little Six's mother, you've lived in the countryside before, do you even know what wild vegetables are?"
Feng Chan: "I know you. My wild vegetable pancakes are pretty good."
"Then you take the women of the family to find wild vegetables. Old woman, you go too."
Formerly the old lady Yun, now an old woman: "You... what did you call me?"
"Old woman, that's what they call her in the countryside. From now on, we're country folk."
"...Can't I call her 'old lady'?"
"No, we are exiled prisoners now."
"...Alright then."
As soon as the Yun family and Sun Xingyao got out of the car, Old Master Yun called them together.
"I have two things to say. First, from now on, we'll use the country folk way of addressing each other. I'm Old Man Yun, and your mother is Old Woman Fang. Little Six's grandfather, from now on you'll be called Big Brother Yun, Second Brother Yun, and Third Brother Yun. Little Six's father, from now on you'll be called by your given names. Little Six, girls in your generation will be called by their birth order, and boys will be called by their given names. Understand?"
I understand, but...
At this point, the Yun family felt somewhat like they were being exiled.
The former Master Yun, now Boss Yun, spoke on behalf of everyone: "Understood. Father, what is the second matter?"
"The second thing is that we can't just study literature and martial arts anymore. We also need to learn how to find food, how to cook food, and how not to starve ourselves to death."
Yun Laoda and the others looked at Zhao Mazi: So, Dad/Grandpa/Grandpa were afraid we'd end up like you.
Yun Yuqi: Why are you looking at him? He has nothing to do with this. This whole thing was started by Xiao Liu. Xiao Liu is using this as an excuse to make a fuss. Xiao Liu is using Grandpa's mouth to direct you. Xiao Liu wants you to go dig wild vegetables and cook.
Unfortunately, Yun Yuqi only dared to say it in her heart.
Yun Yuqi knew that if he dared to say it out loud, Sisi would make him walk to the border on his own two feet.
That's how it was settled.
Grandpa Yun... uh... Old Man Yun is a serious person.
After Lao Hei brought the wild boar back, Old Man Yun immediately called his seven grandsons over. "Lao Hei, teach them how to slaughter the pig? How to clean the meat?"
Old Hei laughed as soon as he heard that. "Okay."
Yun Yuqi: "..." If things continue like this, that little girl will probably start persuading her grandfather to let them go hunting on their own.
It took Yun Yuqi and the others more than an hour of work to finally eat the meat they had killed and roasted themselves. They felt that this meal was truly hard-won!
Old Mrs. Fang and the others also got to eat the wild vegetable pancakes they had dug and made themselves. They also felt that it wasn't easy for them.
After finishing our meal, everyone set off again.
That night, after everyone had gone to sleep, Sisi, Lao Hei, and Zhao Mazi went outside.
As soon as Zhao Mazi stepped outside, he looked at Sisi and said, "Miss, he bullied me."
Sisi smiled. "How did he bully you? Did he not let you eat?"
"No, not at all. As soon as you left that day, he put me back in the bag, saying it was for my own good."
Sisi looked at Zhao Mazi and laughed, "How could he be so bad? I'll avenge you when I grow up."
"Okay." Zhao Mazi didn't necessarily want to do anything to Lao Hei; he just felt wronged. He was already on their side, yet they still insisted on putting him in a bag. "Miss, did I play the fool convincingly?"
"Yes. You're ruthless enough to starve yourself for three days."
"Hehe... Blackie said there's a doctor here, but I was afraid the doctor would notice, so I didn't dare eat it."
Fool. "Why did you decide to play the fool?"
Zhao Mazi looked at Sisi and said, "I competed with Brother Hei. I found that even if I trained for another ten years, I still couldn't beat Brother Hei. I thought, since you already have a master like Brother Hei by your side, I'll just pretend to be stupid. Most people won't guard against a fool."
"You must be tired; your martial arts skills are quite good."
"It's not difficult. I used to think I was pretty good at martial arts. But compared to Brother Hei, I'm just a street performer."
"Your brother Hei is a genius in martial arts. Don't compare yourself to a genius, or you'll just feel depressed."
"I know. I just feel that with Blackie around, the only way I can help you is by pretending to be stupid."
"Alright. Old Black, he's calling you 'brother,' have you taught him a few moves?"
Before Lao Hei could speak, Zhao Mazi said, "I've been taught. Brother Hei is really good to me. Hehe..."
"That's all right then. Let's go back and rest."
Zhao Mazi: "Okay."
Old Hei ruffled Sisi's hair. "You're the one who made your dad and the others learn how to slaughter pigs from me, aren't you?"
"No. I just told my great-grandfather that things are different now than before, and we have to learn to find food and cook for ourselves. So my great-grandfather had them learn to slaughter pigs from you."
"Your great-grandfather was a good man."
