When Yun Yiyi was almost three years old, the three brothers were willing to take her out to play. This was mainly because the eldest brother was old and could either help Zhang work in the fields or go to the town to help Yun the butcher look after the meat stall. He could act like a little adult.

Therefore, it was the eldest brother Yun who took Yun Yiyi out to play the least, and it was usually the second and third brothers Yun who took her out to play the most. Yun Yiyi was very fat when she was young, but later, she followed the two brothers Yun to run all over the mountains and plains, and lost a lot of weight. Her temperament also became more lively, and she no longer cried for every little thing, and no longer complained to Zhang often.

Moreover, Yun Yiyi was very strong, and she would not cry even if she lost a fight with other children. She usually asked her two brothers to help her fight, and with the two brothers keeping her in check, no boy would bully her on purpose. However, after being exposed to the sun every day, Yun Yiyi turned into a dark and fat girl. Zhang was also busy every day, and by the time she found out, it was a little too late.

Zhang made a beautiful little straw hat for Yun Yiyi. She sewed a border with beautiful floral fabric on the edge, which was very beautiful. Yun Yiyi didn't want to wear a hat at first, but when she saw such a beautiful little straw hat, she wore it every day without her parents nagging her.

Every morning and evening, Zhang applied the oil she bought from the town on Yun Yiyi's face. In addition, she was less exposed to the sun in winter, so her face gradually became whiter. However, she would still get tanned in the summer. There was really nothing she could do about it. The child was grown up and didn't want to stay at home. She wanted to go out and play every day. Zhang thought that the child was still young, so she would take care of him slowly.

In the summer, Yun Yiyi followed her brother to the creek and learned how to swim. She also learned how to find small crabs and shrimps under the rocks in the ditch. After taking them home, Zhang washed the crabs, coated them with batter, and fried them in oil until they were very crispy. The whole crab tasted fragrant and crispy, and was very delicious.

Small shrimps are usually fried, or fried with chili peppers, chives and eggs, and eaten with pancakes. They are very delicious. Zhang dried the shrimps she caught and kept them for the winter when vegetables were scarce. Small fish were the least caught, mainly because the river was not big and the water was shallow, and there was only the most water in summer. In other seasons, the river was either dry or had little water, so there were not many fish.

In autumn, Yun Yiyi likes to go on adventures in the mountains with her brothers. Whether it is looking for sour and sweet wild fruits, climbing up trees to take bird eggs, or shooting birds with a slingshot, it is fun. There are many wild fruits in the mountains. After eating, you can bring some home for your parents to eat. You can also take a few bird eggs from time to time.

Yun Yiyi was a good bird hunter. She was strong and accurate, and she could basically hit the target every time she shot. If she brought back a sparrow, Zhang would fry it for them if she had time. If she didn't have time, she would pluck the feathers and roast it. It was delicious no matter how it was cooked. Zhang doted on her children. As long as the children brought back wild animals, she would cook them for them.

Later, when Yun Yiyi caught more sparrows, the two brothers of the Yun family wrapped the sparrows in mud and put them in the fire to roast. When the feathers were burned clean, they put them on the fire to roast, and sprinkled salt when they were almost cooked. It was also delicious. Every time at this time, a group of children would eat together. Some children would also bring some sweet potatoes and potatoes, which were cooked and shared by everyone.

The children were still too young, and their parents would not let them go deep into the mountains, saying that there were wolves in the mountains that would eat children. Usually, the children would be active halfway up the mountain, and the adults would be able to see them when they looked up while working in the fields. As soon as they saw smoke rising from the mountain, they knew that the children had secretly burned something to eat. Everyone would tell the children to put out the fire after eating and cover it with soil to avoid causing a fire. The children knew the dangers and did a good job in this regard.

In the mountains, the children also have another favorite activity. That is to find rabbit holes. As long as you find a hole, the other two holes must be nearby. A group of people work together, two people are responsible for putting firewood into one of the holes to light a fire, and two more people use a sack to block one of the holes. The last hole is also blocked by the children with the sack. In this way, after burning for a while, there will be movement from the hole blocked by the sack.

"Hold the sack tight, don't let go." Everyone shouted nervously. After a while, there was no movement at all, and everyone lifted the sack together. When you are lucky, you can catch two big rabbits weighing three or four pounds, plus a few small rabbits. When you are unlucky, you can only catch small rabbits. As long as you can catch a rabbit, no matter it is a big rabbit or a small rabbit, the children are happy.

Next, it was time to distribute the rabbits. The children usually took turns. Today you take the big rabbit, I take the small rabbit. Tomorrow I take the big rabbit, and next time you take the small rabbit. This was fair, and no one would object. There were a lot of rabbits on the mountain, and they reproduced quickly, so the children could often catch them. The parents would continue to raise the big rabbits that were pregnant with baby rabbits. The ones that were not pregnant would be killed and cooked for meat.

The big rabbits that Yun Yiyi and her friends brought home were usually braised by Zhang. Zhang was willing to use oil, spices, and homemade soybean paste, so they were so fragrant when they came out of the pot. Often, during this meal, Zhang and Yun the butcher would eat the meat while praising the children for their abilities. The children would proudly puff up their little chests, their mouths grinning to their ears.

Parents raise the little rabbits they bring home. As long as the rabbits have not just opened their eyes, they can generally be raised. Just feed them grass every day and occasionally some carrots. The little rabbits will grow up quickly and you can eat meat when they grow up.

If the family raises rabbits, the children will bring a small basket with them when they go out, and cut grass on the mountain to feed the rabbits. If the children are not hungry, they will not go home. If they grill something on the mountain for lunch, they will stay there for the whole day. Every evening, when every household cooks and smoke rises from the village, the children will go home.

The two brothers of the Yun family also found that every time they took Yun Yiyi out, even if her clothes were torn, she had a fight with other children, or she came home late, Zhang and Yun the butcher would not beat them. If they went out and got into such a mess, they would just have bamboo shoots and fried meat when they got home. So, they liked to take Yun Yiyi out more and more. Yun Yiyi was strong, ran fast, and would not complain. She was simply the cutest sister in the world.

Yun Yiyi sometimes followed Big Brother Yun out, but Big Brother Yun would either go to the fields, and it was boring to follow him there, as there were no children to play with. Big Brother Yun didn't dare to take her to town, for fear of losing the child. Gradually, Yun Yiyi followed Big Brother Yun and Big Brother Yun. They ran everywhere, went to many places, played with many people, and it was very interesting.
