The shop assistants worked very efficiently and soon prepared all the items that Yun the butcher had bought. Then, the shop assistants helped put all the items on the donkey cart. Now, the donkey cart was full, and even the front seat was filled with baskets. If there were more items to buy, they would just have to pile them on top.

However, if the pile is too high, it will easily fall down. Normally, Yun the butcher would not be willing to let the donkey carry so many things. This opportunity to go to the city to purchase supplies is really rare. If the villagers do not prepare as much supplies as possible this time, it will be more difficult for them when the weather gets colder.

Yun the butcher and Yun Yiyi said goodbye to the shopkeeper and drove the donkey forward. They planned to buy whatever they found suitable, and if there was nothing suitable, they would return to the city gate. It was already afternoon, and it was estimated to be past three in the afternoon. Yun Yiyi could only see roughly, not very accurately. It was only after she came here that she learned to guess the time by looking at the sun. It was a bit difficult, and she needed to learn more.

"Dad, have we bought almost all the things my mom asked us to buy?"

"Yes, I thought about it and decided to buy all the things your mother asked us to do. As for the rest, we can buy them as we see fit." Yun the butcher said, taking a look at the donkey cart.

"Dad, we bought so much cotton this time. Will it be enough for everyone to share when we return to the village? Will we have enough clothes, quilts and cotton shoes for our family during the winter?" Yun Yiyi asked.

"There is definitely not enough cotton, Yiyi. When we were in Yunjia Village, we slept on a heated kang in winter, so the quilts in every household were not very thick. When we were fleeing from the famine, there was no heated kang, and the quilts were too thin, so it must have been cold, so every household needed to have thicker quilts. Also, the cotton coats, trousers, and shoes that you children wore last year are too small this year. This year, your mother hasn't made any for you yet.

Therefore, we need to reconnect the cotton pants and jackets from last year and add more cotton. If they are smaller, we need to enlarge them. Your mother will also have to make new cotton shoes for you. Your mother and I have not changed our sizes, so we can still wear them from last year. However, we also need to add more cotton to make them thicker. Everyone should also prepare an extra pair of cotton shoes, so that when it snows, they will have replacements if they get wet.

"Our family is in a good situation. You all have your own cotton-padded clothes and shoes. You dare to go out and play in winter. In some families in the village, there are many children and not enough cotton-padded clothes. Whichever child goes out wears the cotton-padded clothes. Those who stay at home wrap themselves in quilts. They play on the kang and the kang is lit, so the house is not cold. In some families, which are more difficult, the clothes worn by the adults are also very thin. However, this situation no longer exists in the village. Those who lack cotton-padded clothes are basically children.

Therefore, adults' cotton-padded clothes need to be thicker. Almost everyone needs to prepare an extra pair of cotton-padded shoes. Some young children who are always in the car can prepare one less pair. The quilts in every household also need to be thicker. Moreover, in the past, everyone slept separately at home. Now they sleep together, and the quilts are either spread on the ground or covered, which is definitely not enough.

Therefore, the cotton we bought is definitely not enough. However, there is no other way, we still have to rely on food. Without food, it would be fatal. "Yun the butcher said with emotion.

"Dad, I understand. If we meet someone selling cotton again, let's buy some separately."

"Okay, if we come across them and the price is right, we'll buy some more so we can get more when we return to the village."

"Dad, why didn't you buy more potatoes for the village when you were at the grocery store?" Yun Yiyi asked in confusion.

"I bought sweet potatoes and potatoes for the elderly and children. These two things taste good and are easy to digest. The elderly and children can eat them occasionally to change their taste. However, the elderly will probably be reluctant to eat them. In the end, the children eat more. We are fleeing from famine, and now we have nothing to buy, so we can only prepare some of everything.

However, everyone still wants to prepare more food. So, we won’t buy too many sweet potatoes and potatoes. However, if we see sweet potatoes and potatoes, we can buy more for our family. We have many children and they eat fast. We are tired of eating the same things every day. "said Yun the butcher.

"Dad, there are so many things to learn about life. I thought that sweet potatoes and potatoes could be eaten as food, and the villagers would like them very much.

"In previous years, when times were good, we would eat whatever tasted best, and no one would argue. Now, compared with corn flour and wheat flour, sweet potatoes and potatoes are not durable and easily spoil, so it is not appropriate to buy too many. Haha, Yiyi, you are still young and have a lot to learn." Yun the butcher said as he smiled and touched Yun Yiyi's head.

"These are little bits of wisdom accumulated in life. You are still young and have little experience, but you will understand everything when you grow up. Many people in our village are illiterate, but they know a lot of things that literate people may not know. Everyone has their own strengths."

"Okay, Dad. You know a lot." Yun Yiyi said happily.

"Haha, dad's little Yiyi is also smart and cute." Yun the Butcher answered happily.

At this time, Yun the Butcher and Yun Yiyi came to the door of a snack bar. There were two large steamers at the door. Yun Yiyi smelled the aroma of meat buns and the wheat aroma of steamed buns. There were many people eating at the table next to them.

"Dad, let's buy some steamed buns. I haven't eaten steamed buns for a long time."

"Okay, let's buy steamed buns and dumplings. We can't make them now. If you come across them, just buy them and we can eat together." Yun the butcher said as he stopped the donkey cart.

"Shopkeeper, how much are your steamed buns and dumplings?"

"Hello, fellow. Steamed buns are two cents each, and meat buns are six cents each." said the shopkeeper who was busy taking out the buns.

"Please help me get twenty steamed buns and ten meat dumplings." Yun the butcher handed the shopkeeper a hundred coins.

"Okay, please wait a moment." The shopkeeper took the money and went to get the steamed buns and dumplings. All the steamed buns and dumplings were wrapped in dried lotus leaves. If you get close, you can smell the fragrance of the lotus leaves.

Butcher Yun took the buns and steamed buns, put them in the basket and covered it. "Yiyi, are you hungry now? If you are hungry, Dad will buy you two more meat buns." Butcher Yun asked.

"Dad, I'm not hungry. I want to go back and eat with you. Let's go around the front." Yun Yiyi pulled Yun the butcher's sleeve and walked forward.

"Okay, let's go back and eat together. Daddy's little Yiyi is really sensible." Butcher Yun praised again.

Yun Yiyi laughed happily after hearing what Yun the Butcher said. Haha, it's so lucky to have a father who loves his daughter. Usually, no matter what Yun Yiyi wants to buy, Yun the Butcher will buy it for her. When Yun Yiyi made a mistake, he would only criticize her and never beat her.
