Zhang and Yun the butcher fed the donkey and the hen again before going to bed.

Yun the Butcher felt relieved because the things he discussed tonight had a good result, so he fell asleep as soon as he lay down.

Zhang had been busy all day and was exhausted. She patted her waist and slowly fell asleep.

Yun Yiyi beside him was also sleeping soundly. There were too many refugees at the nearest stopover point, and Yun Yiyi was afraid of exposing the space, so she had not entered the space in the past few nights.

The night passed peacefully without any incident.

At dawn the next day, Yun the butcher woke up. He got up and first added half a basket of hay and half a basin of water to the donkey. He also added water to the hen next to him, mixed corn flour with water, and then covered the hen with a basket.

Then, Yun the butcher washed his hands, added half a pot of water to the large iron pot, and started to light the fire. After the water boiled, he filled a can with boiling water.

At this time, Zhang woke up.

"Boss, have you cooked?"

"I just boiled some water and poured it into the pitcher. There's still some water in the pot. Wife, what are we going to have for breakfast this morning?"

"Add another ladle of water to the iron pot, and we'll cook some vegetable soup today." After Zhang said that, she went to the donkey cart and took out a cabbage. The outer leaves of the cabbage were a little wilted, so Zhang broke them off and fed them to the hens.

Wash the remaining cabbage, chop it up, and pour it all into the pot. Zhang took out half of the pot cake she had made earlier and broke it into small pieces. After the water in the pot boiled, pour the pot cake into the pot, cover the pot and simmer for two minutes.

Two minutes later, Zhang poured two beaten eggs into the pot and stirred them. She covered the pot and simmered it for another two minutes. When it was finally time to serve, she added salt to taste and two spoonfuls of lard, and the pot instantly became fragrant.

Butcher Yun poured all the soup from the pot into a clay pot, while Zhang cut a plate of pickled peppers and pickled radishes and dripped a few drops of sesame oil on top.

After serving the meal on the table, Zhang called all the children to eat. The three Yun brothers got up happily. Surprisingly, Yun Yiyi also got up on time to eat.

The whole family had a quick breakfast. After the meal, Zhang and Yun Lao Da started to load the cart. Yun the butcher made sure that the little donkey was full before putting the carriage back on the donkey. Yun the butcher put the basket of hens in the donkey cart.

Soon, the team from Yunjia Village set off, led by the village chief. Yun the Butcher and his family lined up at the back of the team and followed them forward.

When we first set out, it was still a little dark, but as we walked further it got brighter and we encountered more refugees on the road.

Later, when Yun the Butcher felt that they had walked about twenty miles, the village chief found a suitable forest for everyone to rest and have lunch.

The village chief would not ask other refugees whether to rest or not. In any case, the villagers of Yunjia Village must rest as long as they walk twenty miles.

At noon, Yun the Butcher and Zhang cooked a meal together, and everyone went to take a nap after eating.

After sleeping for about two hours, the village chief woke everyone up with a loud voice, packed up their things and continued on their journey.

Yun Yiyi followed Zhang listlessly. Even after sleeping for a long time, Yun Yiyi still felt sleepy.

"Yiyi, why don't you go to the donkey cart and sleep for a while?" Zhang asked with concern.

"I'm not going to sleep anymore, Mom. If I sleep more during the day, I'll be energetic at night." Yun Yiyi patted her face with both hands, ran forward for a while, and then ran back. After all this, the sleepiness disappeared.

"Dad, how did the discussion between you and the village chief yesterday about changing the car go?" Yun Yiyi asked curiously.

"The villagers finally agreed. At the beginning, it took so long to discuss it because some people disagreed."

"Dad, don't worry about the process, but the result. As long as the result is what we want, it's fine."

"Dad, when we go to the city to buy things tomorrow, we should go shopping separately like last time. This way it will be faster. Besides, the county town is much smaller than the prefectural city. We can buy more things after we have bought them and send them out."

"Okay, I'll talk to the village chief about this at the meeting tonight. Yiyi, do you think our family should buy one carriage or two? I'm a little hesitant, so I haven't made a decision yet." Yun the Butcher asked Yun Yiyi in a low voice.

"Dad, if you let me, we will buy a carriage and use two horses to pull it. Then, we can make the carriage bigger so that we can put more things and people can sleep at night."

"If we have two carriages, there will only be one more carriage, but we have a small family and three carriages are a bit too scattered. If something happens, we will easily get separated."

"What you said makes sense, Yiyi. Then I'll listen to you and buy another car." Yun the Butcher laughed happily.

"Dad, when we go to the city to buy a carriage, we'll decide based on the specific situation. I think the kind of carriage our family needs might be an old carriage that was replaced by a wealthy family and would be very suitable for our family."

"I know. Now I just make a rough decision. When I find a suitable car, I can buy it directly. I don't need to hesitate and waste time."

"Dad, think about what we need to buy. We will have fewer and fewer opportunities to go to the city. Let's try to buy everything this time."

After hearing what Yun Yiyi said, Yun the Butcher also lowered his head to think. After a while, Yun the Butcher remembered another thing.

"Yiyi, the gun tip you want may be hard to buy. But if there is a ready-made iron stick, a longer one, can we buy it? I think the power of an iron stick is much stronger than that of a wooden stick."

"Dad, it's OK. If you don't have a gun head, a ready-made iron stick will do. If you have extra ones, buy a few more so my brothers can use them too."

"Okay, after we buy the car, we'll go to the blacksmith shop. I don't know how big the county town is, and whether we can buy everything we need." Yun the butcher said a little worriedly.

"Yiyi, I will tell you everything our family needs to buy tonight. Remember, buy everything you can." Zhang interrupted.

"Okay, Mom. Don't worry, I have a good memory." After Yun Yiyi said this, she glanced at Yun the Butcher and laughed secretly.

"Wife, how could you do this? Didn't you tell me everything before? This time you told Yiyi and not me." Yun the Butcher protested in a low voice.

"Compared to my daughter, you are much worse. When the time comes, when my daughter buys something, you just have to pay." Zhang glanced at Yun the butcher.

"Oh, my daughter and wife both bullied me. I am so sad." Yun the butcher lowered his head and pretended to cry sadly.

Yun Yiyi, Zhang, and the three Yun brothers in front all laughed secretly.
