Chapter 74 Feeding the Donkey
"Haha, our Yiyi has always been smart. However, I am also very surprised that her vision is so good." Yun the Butcher said in a low voice.
"Master, what do you think of the stove we built today?" Zhang asked, pointing at the stove.
"I think the stove today is built very well. The three big stones are of right size, and the stove built is strong and durable." Yun the butcher took a look at the stove and said in confusion.
"Let me tell you, today's stove was not built by me. It was built by Yiyi with stones, and she brought the stones back by herself. I watched her build it. What do you think? Are you surprised?" Zhang said proudly.
"If you hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have guessed it. I thought it was you who built the stove." Yun the butcher said in surprise.
"I was busy packing, and Yiyi took the initiative to help me pack. To be honest, ever since our Yiyi fell on her head, I think her little brain has become more useful, and she is more caring and considerate of the family." Zhang said happily.
"Yes, our Yiyi suffered a lot last time when she broke her head. But you are right, Yiyi has changed a lot recently. Alas, the world is still not good now. If we were not hit by drought and famine, and we were still living in Yunjia Village, according to our family's life, Yiyi would definitely still be the wild girl who only cares about food and running around every day."
"Now, we are fleeing famine. I think Yiyi is doing well now. Although with greater abilities comes greater responsibilities. But seeing that the child is smart and has the ability to protect herself, I am still very happy." Yun the Butcher said heavily.
"Yes, I also think that Yiyi is pretty good now. However, Yiyi is very opinionated now, so you still need to restrain her more in normal times. But don't lose all your principles just because Yiyi acts like a spoiled child towards you." Zhang said to Yun the Butcher with a look of disappointment.
Yun the Butcher smiled awkwardly.
"Wife, please stop making fun of me. If you have the ability, when our daughter acts coquettishly towards you, you must stand up to her and stick to your principles." Yun the butcher deliberately squinted his eyes and whispered to Zhang.
"Hmph, don't worry. I am definitely more principled than you. Just wait and see if you don't believe me." Zhang glanced at Yun the Butcher who was still staring at her. She smiled awkwardly and was too embarrassed to continue.
"Wife, let me tell you, we are both the same. You shouldn't laugh at me when I take the 100th step while taking the 99th step. We both can't stand our daughter's coquetry." Yun the Butcher said complacently.
"Then let's one of us play the good guy and the other the bad guy from now on. We should always discipline our daughter more." Zhang said helplessly.
"Okay, wife. From now on, you play the good cop and I play the bad cop. Our daughter is still a little afraid of you. As long as you get angry, she will be a little scared."
"Okay, then let's make a deal. By the way, have you told the village chief about going into the mountains to find water? What arrangements did the village chief make?" Zhang asked.
"I told the village chief, and he said he would tell the villagers that anyone willing to go into the mountains to find water should come find me in an hour and a half. Then, the village chief asked me to come back and rest first."
"I wonder if there are many people willing to go into the mountains to find water this time?" Zhang asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, wife. I think there will be many people willing to go to the mountains to find water. It has been several days since we last replenished water, and everyone doesn't have much water. If we can find water in the mountains, it will be a good thing for everyone."
"Besides, even if we don't find water, we will be able to pick up some firewood. It won't be a wasted trip." Butcher Yun comforted Zhang in a low voice.
"Boss, what you said makes sense. I thought we have a few empty baskets at home. I thought of putting some hay in the baskets, filling them with firewood, putting them on top of the donkey cart, and securing them with ropes. This way, it won't delay the loading of the donkey cart, and when we rest next time, we can cook directly without having to collect firewood."
"If the village chief gives us a long rest time, we can replenish the firewood we have used. If the village chief gives us a short rest time, we will take advantage of it. What do you think of my idea, head of the family?"
"Wife, I think your idea is very good. However, the basket is a bit small. If you want to put firewood in it, you still have to use an axe to chop it into pieces before you can put it in." Yun the butcher said after thinking for a while.
"Boss, just chop it and put it in. When you need it, you can use it directly." Zhang said simply.
"Okay, let's do as my wife says. If we find water in the mountains, we will definitely send someone back to get buckets. Then let the eldest son take the second and third sons. They can carry water a few more times, and I will carry firewood home."
"If I can't find water, I'll just carry firewood back." Butcher Yun instructed Zhang.
"Okay, I've got it. Boss, you should go and have a rest. You've been busy for such a long time." Zhang said with concern.
"I'm going to sleep now, wife, you should also rest for a while. We have a long afternoon, and I'll have some time to help you with housework."
"Okay, I'll feed the chickens, tie it up and go to bed. You go to bed first." Zhang urged Yun the butcher to go to rest.
"Okay, I'm going to rest now." Yun the butcher stood up, walked to the mat, took off his shoes, and lay down to sleep. After lying down for a while, Yun the butcher began to snore. It seemed that he was really tired.
After Zhang had given the hen water, she tied its mouth with a rope and put it back in the basket. She put the basket next to the donkey cart and found an empty basket to cover it.
Then, Zhang went to see the donkey. The donkey had eaten half of the basket of hay that Zhang had prepared for it. Zhang filled a basin with some water to feed the donkey. After the donkey finished drinking the water, Zhang scooped two bowls of moldy corn flour into the basin and fed it to the donkey.
It's not that Zhang was being generous on purpose, it's just that the little donkey has been working too hard recently. If it's only fed with hay and water, it's estimated that the little donkey won't be able to hold on for long. Now most of the things in the house, including food, quilts for winter and other supplies, are placed on the donkey cart.
If the donkey went on strike, it would be too much trouble to push all these things on the cart. Besides, there were already two carts at home. If there were two more, or even one more, it would have to be pushed by a child. Although Yun Lao Da looked tall and strong, he was still a child. On the way, Zhang and he took turns pushing the cart. If Yun Lao Da pushed it all by himself, I don't know how tired the child would be.
Thinking of this, Zhang no longer felt bad about the two bowls of cornmeal. As long as the donkey was well fed and could continue to pull the donkey cart, it would lighten the burden on the family. Zhang persuaded herself.
