The food was simple, with steamed buns made of both white flour and corn flour, a bowl of wild vegetable soup for each person, and in the middle of the table there was a large bowl of egg cake steamed with two eggs and plates of pickled radishes.

White flour and corn flour are not as fine as those ground by machines in later generations, and they are still a bit choking when eaten. However, such simple meals are considered very good meals in the village.

It was the end of spring and the villagers had nothing to eat. The vegetables stored last winter had been eaten up, and the newly planted vegetables in the vegetable garden had just sprouted small tender shoots and were not yet edible.

At this time of year in the countryside, only those with slightly better conditions can eat steamed buns made of two liang of flour. As for white flour steamed buns and white rice, only the wealthy families and officials in the city can afford them.

Most people only eat brown rice cakes with wild vegetable soup twice a day. Brown rice is corn or sorghum rice that is ground into flour. It is not ground very finely. You can still see small particles and incompletely broken skin in the bran. Corn flour and sorghum rice flour in later generations are ground and crushed by machines. There is a fine sieve at the bottom of the machine for sifting. Only flour that has been sifted can be eaten. Even if it is coarse grain, the taste is very delicate.

For Yunhai and Yunduo, who were used to eating fine grains, looking at such simple meals and the smiling faces of their family members, they did not find the meals difficult to swallow. Instead, they ate them happily.

While eating the bland meal, Yun Chenyang remembered that his sister had brought back a rabbit today. "Mom, my sister and grandpa went into the mountains to hunt a rabbit today. Let's stew the rabbit meat tomorrow."

Li Xiuxiu and Yun Qingsong were surprised and happy when they heard their eldest son say that Yun Duo and his grandson had also caught rabbits.

"Duo'er caught the rabbit. Duo'er is very powerful now." Yunhai used to call his granddaughter Duoduo. After coming here, he followed the local customs and called her Duo'er. He didn't want his son and grandson to find out too early. He had to change little by little to be more easily accepted.

When Yun Chenxing heard that her sister had caught a rabbit, she was extremely happy. She transformed from a little trumpet spirit into a little flatterer, looked at Yun Duo with admiring eyes and said, "Sister, you are so awesome. Xiao Si's sister is more awesome than other sisters. You can even catch rabbits for Xiao Si to eat. Xiao Si wants to eat rabbit meat."

The little kid also has a competitive spirit and wants to be better than others. His two brothers are better than the brothers of other children in the village. So when playing with other little kids in the village, they would laugh at his sister and call her a fool, as if only in this way could they be better than Yun Xiaosi and not fall behind Yun Xiaosi in everything.

Every time Yun Chenxing would tell them that once her sister finds her lost soul, she will be more powerful than their sister.

Yun Chenxing has always firmly believed that his sister's soul will come back. He is one of the only two people in the family who believes from beginning to end that his sister's soul can come back. That one is his second brother. Yun Chenxi has telepathy and knows that Yun Duo will definitely get better.

At this time, when he heard that his sister had caught a rabbit, he was extremely happy. He thought that other people's sisters could not catch rabbits, and his sister was the best. His admiration for his sister deepened.

"Okay, let's eat rabbit meat tomorrow. Sister can not only hunt rabbits but also pheasants. Tomorrow sister will go to the mountains to hunt some pheasants for little Sibao to eat chicken legs." Yun Duo thought to herself, sister has so many advanced weapons, not to mention rabbits and pheasants, even wild boars and tigers can be hunted. However, she did not dare to say it out loud for fear of scaring her family.

When Yun Chenyang heard that his sister was going to the mountain to hunt tomorrow, he was eager to go. He had been learning martial arts for half a year, and although he had only learned the basics, he also wanted to go to the mountains to gain some experience. The master in the martial arts school was very strict and he was not allowed to go out casually. There were only two days off at the end of the month, and his parents did not allow him to go into the mountains. In the past, when he and his grandfather went up the mountain to collect herbs, they only wandered around nearby and were not allowed to go deep into the mountains. There were often villagers wandering around in the nearby mountains, and there were rarely these small animals.

"Sister, can you take your brother with you when you go pheasant hunting?" Yun Chenyang asked Yun Duo in a low voice, fearing that his parents would object if he spoke too loudly.

As expected, as soon as Yun Chenyang finished speaking, his parents gave him warning looks. Yun Chenyang shrank his head and focused on eating.

Yun Chenyang was very naughty when he was a child and always had a dream of becoming a hero. He was the leader of the children in the village. When he was ten years old, he led the younger brothers in the village who followed him into the mountains to explore. They encountered a blind bear. If the guards of the family at the east end of the village had not gone into the mountains to hunt and happened to encounter and save them, they would have all died at the bear's paw.

The family at the east end of the village moved to the village and settled there ten years ago. They were an old couple with a grandson about ten years old, a housekeeper, two guards, two serving women and a maid who never went out. They didn't interact with the villagers very often, and the villagers didn't know much about this family. They only knew that their surname was Cheng.
