"Mom, you don't know that when I was carrying the basket just now, the juice of the wild leeks rubbed onto my clothes. And that juice is not easy to wash off."

Zhang looked at Yun Yiyi's happy expression and touched her hair comfortingly.

"Yiyi, let your brothers carry the baskets this afternoon. You will be responsible for finding wild vegetables. When you find them, let your brothers dig them up."

After Zhang finished speaking, she glanced at everyone.

"Don't worry, Mom. We'll take care of all the work this afternoon. Yiyi will just be responsible for finding wild vegetables."

"Yes, mother, our luck is not as good as Yiyi's. If we rely on the few of us, we may not be able to eat leek dumplings tonight."

"That's what I wanted to say. Yiyi is our family's lucky charm."

Yun Yiyi smiled happily after hearing what her brothers said.

"Yes, so it's up to Yiyi this afternoon. Yiyi, are you confident?"

Butcher Yun looked at Yun Yiyi with anticipation.

"Don't worry, everyone. As long as it's on the mountain, I can definitely find it." Yun Yiyi waved her little arms confidently.

"Okay, let's eat. After dinner, help pick some garlic cloves. I want to pickle them before we leave."

After hearing what Zhang said, everyone buried their heads in eating.

After dinner, Zhang took the children to pick small garlic cloves while Yun the butcher cleaned up the dishes.

Yun Yiyi wanted to help, but was driven aside by Zhang to rest. Xie Zirui was also honored to be driven over.

Yun Yiyi brought the fried peanuts and beans given by Grandma Wu. The two of them ate while chatting, looking very leisurely.

Zhang and her friends picked the wild vegetables, washed them, and hung them to dry in the sun.

Then, Zhang went to the donkey cart and found a large bag of chili powder. She turned over the small garlic cloves and found that there was no water left.

She put all the garlic cloves into a large earthenware basin, sprinkled a lot of salt on it, and a large bowl of chili powder. Then, Zhang used her hands to mix the salt, chili powder and garlic cloves evenly.

Next to him, Yun the butcher had found a clean kimchi jar and put it aside. Zhang stuffed handfuls of the mixed garlic into the kimchi jar. When all the garlic was put in, the jar was full.

Butcher Yun put half a bowl of white wine into the kimchi jar to seal it, then put the lid on. Finally, he used a hemp rope to secure the entire kimchi jar. When he moved the kimchi jar onto the donkey cart, he didn't have to worry about the small garlic.

"Stop chatting and go to bed." Zhang heard the voices in the woods nearby becoming quieter, so she also urged the children to go to bed.

"I understand, Mom." Brother Yun obediently took his younger brothers and sisters to bed.

Zhang and Yun the butcher also quickened their work and soon they went to sleep.

The time for sleeping is always short. Yun Yiyi felt that she had just fallen asleep when the village chief's gong sounded.

Zhang asked Yun Yiyi and Xie Zirui to continue sleeping in the carriage. She and Yun the butcher quickly packed up the sleeping mats and pillows.

"Let's go. Everyone hurry up. We should rest early in the afternoon so that everyone can go dig wild vegetables."

"Okay, village chief. This is a good suggestion."

"The wild vegetables I dug up this afternoon are so delicious. They are so fresh."

"My family dug up some small garlic roots, added chili peppers, salt, and sesame oil to make a cold dish. It tastes spicy and fragrant, and it's so addictive."

"My family dug up a bunch of shepherd's purse and made a shepherd's purse soup. It was so delicious."

"So, let's listen to the village chief this afternoon, hurry up and get some rest early. I plan to dig up more wild vegetables this afternoon. If we can't finish them in the evening, we can pickle them and save them for later."

"Oh, I was greedy at noon and ate all the wild vegetables I dug. I even forgot to pickle them."

"Haha, that's nothing, let's continue digging in the afternoon. I made a discovery at noon, there is really no shortage of water here, and there are so many wild vegetables."

"Now I like places with wild vegetables."

"To be honest, who doesn't like to eat wild vegetables? Besides, it's been a long time since we last ate fresh wild vegetables."

"Okay, stop chatting. If you keep wasting time, we'll have a normal rest in the afternoon, and you won't have time to dig wild vegetables."

The village chief shouted angrily.

"Village Chief, please drive the car quickly. We are all lined up."

"Village chief, don't be angry, let's hurry up and get on with our journey."

"Village Chief, we are not going to chat any more. Please give us some time to dig wild vegetables."

The village chief's head was about to explode when he heard the voices of "village chief" in his ears. He glared at everyone in dissatisfaction and drove the car forward.

The people of Yunjia Village behind were used to the village chief's style. They didn't care about the village chief's color at all. However, in order to let the village chief calm down, everyone still shut up and stopped chatting.

We had a good rest at noon, and the food was delicious, and everyone was in a good mood. Even though it was still scorching hot, everyone followed the village chief closely and no one fell behind.

After Yun Yiyi woke up, she sat outside the carriage with Brother Yun. She looked at both sides of the road and saw more and more green, which represented hope.

The trees on the mountain and the weeds on the roadside made people feel happy. Yun Yiyi also heard the sound of birds singing.

Yun Yiyi stood up and looked forward. There were also rolling mountains ahead. She didn't know how long they would have to walk in the mountains.

The sun was slowly moving westward. It was estimated that it would be dark in three hours. There was still one hour left until the time the village chief had said.

"Okay, let's not walk today, let's just stop here. Find a place to rest."

The village chief's voice suddenly came over. When everyone reacted, they all cheered loudly.

"Village chief, you are really our good village chief."

“Village Chief, you are so thoughtful.

"Village Chief, you are such a nice person."

"Okay, stop flattering me. I just wanted to give you more time because I thought everyone would go pick wild vegetables. However, we have already walked the route we were supposed to walk this afternoon and will not delay our subsequent journey." The village chief explained a few more words.

"Oh, is this true? I was so focused on picking wild vegetables that I didn't even notice how far I walked."

"I thought we didn't walk far enough this afternoon! I'm relieved now."

"It seems like we are moving fast today."

"Haha, my mind has flown to the wild vegetables. Who can remember how far I have walked?"

The village chief listened to everyone's discussion and smiled. It has been a long time since I saw everyone so happy. The wild vegetables are so attractive that they attracted everyone. Of course, who doesn't like free wild vegetables?

Although everyone was talking, they still drove to find a suitable place to rest tonight. Fortunately, this place was close to the mountains, with trees and few refugees. If you look around, you can find a suitable place.

Yun Yiyi and her family continued to drive forward and did not stop until they reached the village chief's family.
