Chapter 283: Yun the Butcher Decides to Go Up the Mountain

"Big brother, why are you and Yiyi the only ones to go down the mountain? Why didn't the second and third brothers go down the mountain?"

Brother Yun swallowed the cake in his mouth and said, "Mom, the second and third sons are still busy picking persimmons in the mountains."

"Yiyi found three persimmon trees and a hawthorn tree on the mountain. We only picked fruits from one persimmon tree, and left the rest unpicked."

Zhang was immediately distressed when she heard this, "Big brother, you have to go down the mountain to eat first. If you and Yiyi bring food up the mountain, the second and third brothers will be starving."

"Yes, boss, you should persuade the second and third brothers to go down the mountain together." Yun the butcher looked at Big Brother Yun with disapproval.

"Dad, Mom, don't worry. The second and third children won't starve. I roasted sweet potatoes for everyone before we went down the mountain, and everyone has filled their stomachs."

"And I told them when I went down the mountain. If they are hungry, let them roast some sweet potatoes for themselves."

"It's not that they don't want to go down the mountain, it's just that the place we're going to today is too far. The round trip takes a lot of time."

Zhang nodded. Suddenly, she felt something was wrong. "Boss, I remember I didn't bring you sweet potatoes when you went up the mountain this morning, did I?"

"Could I have remembered it wrong?" Zhang said doubtfully.

"Boss, did you bring sweet potatoes to the children this morning?"

Butcher Yun hurriedly shook his head and said, "Wife, I didn't bring sweet potatoes for the children. Didn't you bring them for the children?"

Zhang was also bewildered, "I didn't bring it either."

Yun Yiyi shook her head and said, "Dad, go take a look at the basket my brother just carried back, and you'll understand what's going on."

After hearing this, Yun the Butcher immediately carried the basket that Brother Yun had just carried back to the dining table.

He quickly removed the weeds from the basket, and when he saw what was underneath the weeds, he was so shocked that he was speechless.

Zhang saw that Yun the butcher didn't say anything and became anxious. She hurried to the basket and when she saw it, she quickly covered her mouth with her hands to stop the scream that was about to come out.

Two minutes later, Yun the Butcher came to his senses first. "Boss, are all the sweet potatoes in this basket? Are they the ones you found in the mountains?"

Zhang also looked at Brother Yun and Yun Yiyi with shining eyes.

"Mom, Yiyi found a large field of wild sweet potatoes on the mountain. It took Yiyi and I half a day to dig out all the wild sweet potatoes."

"But, Dad, Mom, guess how many baskets of sweet potatoes we dug?"

Zhang and Yun the Butcher looked at each other and said, "Boss, did you dig two baskets of sweet potatoes? That's too much."

Brother Yun shook his head and said, "Mom, you guessed wrong. We dug three baskets of sweet potatoes, and all three baskets were filled just like this one."

When Zhang heard this, she was overjoyed. She looked at Yun the Butcher with shining eyes and patted his arm hard.

"Boss, does your arm hurt?"

Yun the butcher rubbed his arm and said, "Wife, my arm hurts."

After Yun the butcher finished speaking, he also reacted a little late. It turned out that the children really dug three baskets of wild sweet potatoes on the mountain.

"Wife, the eldest brother and his children really dug three baskets of sweet potatoes on the mountain. Three full baskets."

Zhang's face flushed with excitement. "Ah, yes. I am so happy. These three baskets of sweet potatoes are enough for our whole family to eat for a long time."

"Haha, now we don't have to worry about not having enough food at home. With these sweet potatoes, we won't go hungry this winter."

Yun the butcher also had mixed feelings. His children were so young but so sensible and capable.

It's all because I, as a father, am incompetent, so I let my children go to the mountains to find food at such a young age.

Butcher Yun turned around and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, then turned around again.

Yun Yiyi and Brother Yun also saw this scene, but the two of them just focused on eating and didn't say anything else.

Zhang picked up a sweet potato excitedly and found that it was quite big. However, there were also some small and long sweet potatoes in the basket.

"Boss, this sweet potato field is not small, otherwise we wouldn't be able to dig up so many sweet potatoes."

"Mom, this sweet potato field is really big. And it's quite far from where we pick persimmons. Yiyi discovered it later."

Zhang said excitedly in a low voice, "Yiyi, you are really our family's lucky star. Now that's good, we don't have to go hungry this winter."

"Mom, as long as my family doesn't go hungry, it's worth it for me to run a few more laps in the mountains."

Zhang put down the sweet potato, came to Yun Yiyi, and happily rubbed Yun Yiyi's hair, "Yiyi is really mother's little cotton-padded jacket."

"Boss, among these sweet potatoes, are there more big ones? Or are there more small ones?"

"Dad, Mom, generally speaking, there are more big sweet potatoes. There are fewer small ones. However, it is precisely because we have to dig small sweet potatoes that we spend a particularly long time digging sweet potatoes."

"These small sweet potatoes are all grown after the sweet potato vines have taken root in the ground. No one has ever turned over the sweet potato vines in that sweet potato field."

"So there were a lot of these small roots. We were afraid of missing some sweet potatoes, so we dug them side by side like we were digging the ground. So it took us a long time to finish digging."

Butcher Yun listened to Brother Yun's complaints and consoled him, "Boss, you did the right thing. Although you wasted time, your approach was quite good."

"Dad is proud to have such smart and capable children like you."

Butcher Yun's words made Brother Yun's ears turn red.

Yun Yiyi has always been confident. After hearing this, she raised her chin proudly.

Butcher Yun and Zhang, seeing the two children's reactions, laughed at the same time.

"Mom, please hurry up and serve the food. My eldest brother and I have to go up the mountain after we finish eating. My second and third brothers must be hungry."

"Okay, Yiyi. I'll go wash my hands and then serve the food. Don't worry, it will be ready by the time you two finish your meal."

"Come on, Mom, thank you. You're so kind."

Zhang happily went to get the food.

"Dad, please load the sweet potatoes into the mule cart. They'll be too conspicuous if they're outside."

"And, Dad, you have to go up the mountain with us later. There are still two large baskets of sweet potatoes that have not been transported down the mountain. And there are also persimmons and hawthorns that need to be transported down the mountain as well."

"There are too many things. We won't be able to transport them all this afternoon if we rely on my brother and the others. So, you have to go up the mountain with us to help transport the things."

"Also, Dad, my eldest brother has tied up three big bundles of sweet potato vines. We also need to carry those down the mountain."

When Yun the butcher heard this, he immediately said, "Okay, Yiyi, I'll go put this basket of sweet potatoes into the mule cart now."

After saying this, Yun the Butcher carried the basket of sweet potatoes and put it into the mule cart.
