"Yiyi, are you tired and can't walk anymore? Let me carry you on my back," Brother Yun asked with concern.

"Brother, I'm not tired. I was just looking at other refugees. Let's go together, you must be tired too." After Yun Yiyi said this, she took Brother Yun's hand and walked forward.

Yun Yiyi felt that the team had been walking for about twenty minutes when she heard the village chief shouting to stop.

"Everyone, come over here and go into the woods. Push your cars in as well. We'll stay here tonight." The village chief shouted to everyone while standing at the entrance to the woods.

So, everyone in Yunjia Village began to line up and walk into the woods beside the official road. When it was Yun Yiyi's family's turn, Yun Yiyi observed carefully.

She found that the location chosen by the village chief was good. From here to the woods, it was about a mile away. Moreover, the location of the woods was a little higher, so people in the square could also see it.

However, looking from the square, you can only see a forest. At least the privacy is good.

The official road continued forward, all the way to the city gate. Many refugees on the official road looked at the people from Yunjia Village entering the woods, but they did not react and continued to move forward.

Yun the butcher found a spot near the back of the woods. Yun Yiyi looked back and realized that if they continued walking, they would have to climb a mountain. However, this would be farther from the official road. During the day, the privacy would be better.

Old Man Wu also chose a place to stay more than ten meters away from the Yun family. This way, if anything happened, the two families could take care of each other.

Yun Yiyi looked up at the top of the woods. The sun was blocked outside, and it was cool and comfortable inside the woods. It was still early for the sun to set, probably more than two hours.

Yun Yiyi estimated that they had only walked about ten miles in the afternoon. In any case, they were finally able to rest in peace, and everyone was very happy.

Yun Yiyi sat under a tree, watching Yun the Butcher and Zhang clean up the ground. The three brothers of the Yun family were also there to help.

In the past, Yun Yiyi would feel embarrassed. Now, she is used to it. When there is a shortage of people to do the work, Zhang and Yun the butcher will ask her to do the work. However, when there are many people, Yun Yiyi can be a hands-off boss.

Butcher Yun and his men were busy for more than ten minutes, and the resting and cooking areas were cleaned up. Butcher Yun took the eldest brother Yun to pick up stones to build a stove. The second and third brothers Yun went to feed the donkey. Zhang began to prepare the food for cooking.

Zhang looked outside the woods. The sun was still high, just right for making steamed buns. Forget it, let's mix corn flour and flour together to make steamed buns. It's not ostentatious, but also delicious.

Zhang first found the old dough left over from last time, put it in a basin, added water, crushed it, and mixed it into a paste. Then, she added corn flour and flour into the basin. She didn't stop until she had put half of the basin in.

Then, Zhang started to knead the dough. There was not enough batter at the bottom, so she added half a bucket of water. When she had kneaded the dough into a smooth dough in the basin, she covered the basin with a cloth.

"Yiyi, I'm going to put the wash basin in the sun behind the woods to warm up. Can you go and watch it for me?" Zhang picked up the wash basin and asked Yun Yiyi, who was about to fall asleep against a tree.

"Okay, Mom, let's go." Yun Yiyi stood up and rubbed her eyes. It was really easy to feel sleepy in this weather.

Zhang took Yun Yiyi for about seven or eight meters and asked her to sit under a tree. She placed the basin on a clean stone.

"Yiyi, just sit there. When this piece of cloth is lifted up later, call me." Zhang instructed.

"I know, Mom. It's so hot today, I think the dough will be ready soon." Yun Yiyi replied loudly, biting a piece of hay in her mouth and putting her legs on the ground.

"Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Yiyi. Mother should go back and prepare dinner for tonight." After saying this, Zhang went back to work.

After about five or six minutes, Yun the Butcher and his brother Yun came back carrying three large stones.

"Yiyi, why are you sitting here?" Brother Yun asked from a distance.

"Dad, brother, Mom just made some dough and asked me to watch over the basin here." Yun Yiyi pointed to the basin on a stone not far away.

"Okay, then you continue watching. Your brother and I will go back to set up the stove." After saying this, Yun the Butcher took Yun Boss away.

A few minutes later, Mrs. Li from next door also came over with a large basin, followed by her eldest granddaughter.

"Grandma Wu, what are you carrying?"

"Xiao Yiyi, I'm holding the basin. Ever since I learned from your mother how to use the sun to speed up the rise of dough last time, I now love to steam buns. I think steaming buns is much faster than making pancakes." Li said happily.

"Grandma Wu, you're right. Steaming buns is faster than making pancakes."

"I'll put the washbasin together with yours, and you and my Wu Mei can play together for a while." Li said as she put the washbasin next to the Yun family's washbasin.

Yun Yiyi looked up at the two basins, not worried about making a mistake. The Wu family's basin was really too big, probably a circle larger than the Yun family's basin. However, thinking about the Wu family's large number of people, they must eat a lot of steamed buns.

Li put down the basin and left. Wu Mei and Yun Yiyi, the two girls, started chatting.

"Yiyi, let me tell you, during the Chinese New Year two years ago, I ate a kind of fish at my grandma's house. It was really delicious."

"The fish is neither braised nor steamed. Grandma said the fish is called crispy fish. Crispy fish tastes better than stewed fish, and the whole body of the crispy fish is stewed until very soft, so you can eat it directly without spitting out the bones."

"Wu Mei, I've never eaten the fish you mentioned. At least my mother has never cooked it." Yun Yiyi said a little disappointedly.

"It's okay, Yiyi. My mom can cook it. My grandma saw that we all like it, so she taught her how to cook it. My mom also cooked it once at my grandma's house. I tasted it and it tasted the same as my grandma's, and it was delicious too." Wu Mei patiently comforted Yun Yiyi. It must be said that Wu Mei is a competent big sister.

"When my mother makes fried fish in the future, you can come to my house to eat it. My grandma and grandpa like you very much, and they will definitely be happy for you to come to my house for dinner."

Yun Yiyi was also very happy after hearing what Wu Mei said. It turned out that she was so popular in the Wu family.

"Sister Wu Mei, let me tell you, the spicy rabbit my mother makes is also very delicious. Especially when it is added with the pickled peppers and ginger that my family pickles. The sour, spicy and fragrant rabbit meat makes you want to eat it again after eating it once."

"In the future, if my family catches rabbits, I will ask my mother to cook spicy rabbit meat. Then, I will also invite you to my house for dinner." Yun Yiyi is also a good girl who knows how to exchange gifts. So, she also arranged a job for Zhang.
