I was worried that if I continued on my journey, the younger children at home would make noise on the road and would be difficult to comfort.

This is good, enough to coax the child for a while. In the future, I must interact more with Sister-in-law Yun.

Sister-in-law Yun is very open and honest in her dealings, and she is not the kind of person who would take advantage of others.

Li Xiucai's wife had a lot of thoughts in her mind.

As for the Yun family, several groups of people came to give gifts.

Zhang and Yun the butcher also discovered that the families who came to give gifts were the ones from whom they had secretly borrowed food when they were short of food during the drought in the village.

Fortunately, the gifts from these families were not too expensive.

Zhang and Yun the butcher discussed taking the things away. However, she did not take advantage of them.

She also gave them gifts of similar value in return.

Whether it was the families who came to give gifts, or Yun the butcher and Zhang, everyone was very happy.

However, it was getting late, so they chatted for a while and then went home.

Zhang sat down and patted her waist with her hands, "Boss, our people are all acceptable in terms of character."

"Of course. Usually the village chief and three elders are watching over us. No one dares to act too recklessly."

"To be honest, I really didn't expect those families to come and give us return gifts. After all, those families are not very well off even now."

Butcher Yun sighed, "Wife, this has to do with character. It has nothing to do with whether the family is rich or poor."

"Even if they come empty-handed and come to our house to sit and talk a few words, I won't be angry."

Zhang rolled her eyes at Yun the butcher and said, "Boss, I think the same thing. I helped them at that time because I didn't want to feel guilty."

"After all, those families have both old and young people. We can't just watch them starve to death. We are not such cruel people."

"Wife, you don't have enough persimmons, peaches, and hawthorns for your children, do you?"

Zhang nodded, "Not much. But it's okay. It's getting colder tomorrow, so it doesn't matter if you eat less of these fruits."

"When the time comes, I'll try something different and cook for my kids. Kids still prefer delicious meals."

Butcher Yun gave a thumbs up and said, "Wife, you are really awesome."

Zhang smiled and said, "Boss, stop being so joking. Hurry up and work. When you're done, we'll go to bed."

"We don't know when we'll leave tomorrow. We both have to get up early to cook for the kids."

"Okay, wife. I'm almost done packing the noodles here. Once I'm done, I'll go to bed."

"Okay, I'll help you too."

Thanks to the efforts of Zhang and Yun the butcher, half an hour later, the two men finished their work, washed up, and went to bed.

The night passed without incident.

The next day, while it was still dark, the village chief went from house to house and asked people to get up and cook.

The Yun family, Zhang and Yun the butcher also yawned and went to wash up.

After washing up, Yun the butcher asked, "Wife, what shall we cook this morning?"

Zhang thought for a moment and said, "Boss, we don't lack sweet potatoes recently. Wash some sweet potatoes, cut them up and put them in the pot. You can cook corn porridge."

"I plan to mix some dough and make fried dough cakes. It's too late to let the dough rise now. It's faster to make fried dough cakes."

"Okay, wife, I'll go now."

Butcher Yun went into the carriage and picked up a lot of the sweet potatoes that had been picked out in half, as well as some small sweet potatoes.

He washed the sweet potatoes, cut them into small pieces, put them in the pot, filled the pot with half a pot of water, covered it with a lid, and started to light the fire.

Zhang kneaded dough and rolled out pancakes under the light of an oil lamp.

Because there was no green onion, Zhang put some fried dough in it. It tasted especially delicious.

In about half an hour, Zhang had rolled out all the pancakes.

She counted them and found that there were 20 pancakes in total. It was definitely enough for everyone. Of course, she would have to wait until after dinner to know how many pancakes were left.

At this time, Yun the butcher had also cooked the corn and sweet potato porridge. He poured all the porridge from the pot into a clay bowl and placed it on the dining table.

Then, Yun the butcher cleaned the big iron pot with quick hands.

"Boss, you burn the hay and we'll start making pancakes."

"Okay, don't worry. It won't cause a big fire."

Butcher Yun brought over a lot of hay and started a small fire.

Zhang waited until all the water in the big iron pot evaporated, then she poured some oil into the pot.

Then, she put six fried dough cakes into the big iron pot. Soon, the aroma of the fried dough cakes became stronger.

Zhang put the baked pancakes in a basket specially for pancakes.

She still put six pancakes into the pot.

"Boss, watch the fire and turn the pancakes over."

"Let me wash some potatoes, and we'll make some spicy and sour potato shreds."

"Okay, wife, I'll watch the fried cakes in the pan. Go wash the potatoes, cut them into shreds and add the peppers. The kids will definitely like them."

"it is good."

Zhang washed four large potatoes and cut them into thin strips.

The pickled ginger and dried chilies were all chopped up and put into the bowl.

By the time all the pancakes Zhang had rolled were cooked, it was still dark.

Then, Zhang skillfully fried two large plates of spicy and sour potato shreds.

"Boss, go get the kids. I guess we'll leave right after dinner."

"it is good."

Soon, the Yun family sat down at the table and started eating breakfast.

Because they got up too early, the children were still sleepy and ate little.

Zhang and Yun the butcher first put the remaining fried cakes, porridge, and hot and sour potato shreds into the carriage.

Then they let the three little ones go to bed.

Big Brother Yun and Second Brother Yun helped them and started to clean up the table, the big iron pot, and other cooking utensils.

Especially the big iron pot. After Yun the butcher cleaned it, he first put it in a big bag before he dared to put it on the car.

Otherwise the ashes from the bottom of the pot will dirty the carriage.

There were also two large water tanks on the ground, which were also moved into the carriage by Yun the Butcher, and he carefully stuffed a lot of hay around them.

The sky gradually brightened, and the woods became noisier and noisier.

"Wife, your meal is not ready yet. We have to leave soon."

"Don't worry, it will be cooked right away."

"Big brother, second brother, hurry up and get up to eat. We are about to set off."

"Third brother, if you feel sleepy, you have to eat before going to bed. Do you hear me?"

"Everyone hurry up and eat. We will set off on time in half an hour. The villagers will not wait for those who haven't packed their things."

“So those families who haven’t eaten yet have to clean up their things first and then find time to eat.”

The village chief's loud voice was immediately evident amid the commotion.

"Boss, hurry up and collect the things. We will be leaving in half an hour."
