"Yiyi is so capable. Thanks to her this afternoon, we can eat delicious fish tonight. Let's put it this way, most of the fish were caught by Yiyi, and the village can't share all the fish."

"There are a total of twenty-five households in our village. Each family will get four fish, and the remaining fish will belong to your family. Butcher Yun, what do you think of this division?" the village chief asked in a low voice.

"Okay, village chief. We'll listen to you. We have no objection." Yun the Butcher said readily.

"Okay, then I'll go and divide the fish. You should go back and have a rest first. You've been tired after an entire afternoon," said the village chief.

Butcher Yun and the village chief separated and returned to where the Yun family camped.

"Boss, you're back. You've been busy all day. Sit down and take a rest." Zhang greeted Yun the butcher while cooking.

"I'm going to change into some clean clothes first, wife. I just brought back a basket of fish, and my clothes are all smelling of fish."

"Boss, I have boiled hot water. You can add some cold water and take a bath. In the afternoon, the eldest brother and his two younger brothers built a simple bathing shed behind the donkey cart. You can take our oil lamp and go take a bath." Zhang said hurriedly.

"Okay, then I'll go take a shower first." After saying that, Yun the Butcher took the clean clothes he found and went to take a shower.

"Yiyi, after dinner, you should take a bath too. We have stored a lot of water this afternoon, enough for everyone in our family to take a bath." Zhang asked Yun Yiyi who was sitting next to her.

"Mom, I'll listen to you. I'll go take a shower after dinner. Mom, I caught a lot of fish in the pond with a basket this afternoon. When I came back, my dad and Uncle Zhang had already processed and cleaned the fish. After you finish making the vegetable pancakes, can you stew the fish for us?" Yun Yiyi asked loudly.

"There are fish in that pond! My daughter is so amazing that she can catch fish by herself. Okay, after we divide the fish, I will cook for you. Third brother, Yiyi, what flavor of fish do you want to eat?" Zhang asked the two little foodies in the family. As long as they were satisfied, no one else had any objection.

"Mom, I want to eat stewed fish. Add pickled ginger, pickled chili peppers, and some dried chili peppers. It will be sour and spicy, and the best." When it comes to food, Third Brother Yun instantly became energetic.

"Yiyi, what flavor do you want to eat? What do you think of the flavor your third brother mentioned?" Zhang continued to ask Yun Yiyi.

"Mom, sure. Just do as my third brother says. I love everything you cook." Yun Yiyi said with a smile.

"Haha, Yiyi is really my little cotton-padded jacket. I love what you say so much." Zhang laughed happily. Women really love to hear compliments from others, no matter what age they are.

"Yiyi, was the place you and dad went this afternoon far? Is the pond where you stored water big? How did you catch the fish?" Third Brother Yun turned into a curious baby.

Hearing what Third Brother Yun said, Zhang, First Brother Yun, and Second Brother Yun pricked up their ears. They were also very curious about what Third Brother Yun asked.

"Third brother, we walked quite a long way this afternoon, but we didn't reach the top of the mountain. We found a small path going down at a fork in the road, and we found a pond along that path. The pond wasn't very big, but it was very deep in the middle. Even though my father and the village chief spent an entire afternoon fetching water from the pond, we didn't see much water in the pond go down."

"I observed carefully at the time. The water in the pool should flow down from the top of the mountain. When there was no drought in the past, the waterfall should be quite big. Because even now there is such a shortage of water, the waterfall is still flowing, but the water flow is smaller."

"When a waterfall scours a pond for a long time, it will make the middle of the pond very deep. I caught fish this afternoon near the pond. The water around the pond is not very deep and clear, and you can see the water plants and rocks at the bottom of the water."

"I put the basket next to the water plants by the pond. As long as the surroundings are quiet, the fish will swim into the basket quickly. However, once there is any movement, the fish will be scared away. So, when you lift the basket, you must be quick, otherwise the fish will all run away." Yun Yiyi said vividly.

"Wow, that's so interesting, Yiyi. Next time something like this happens, call me and I'll go with you." Brother Yun San said longingly.

"According to Yiyi, there should be water on the top of the mountain. However, we still have to hurry on our way and we don't have time to go to the top of the mountain to find out." Second Brother Yun said regretfully.

"Yiyi, you've walked such a long way, are you tired? Let me massage your legs." This is what Brother Yun, who loves his sister very much, said.

"Yes, Yiyi, you've been really busy this afternoon. You've been traveling on mountain roads and fishing. Ask your elder brother to massage your legs, otherwise your legs will hurt tomorrow." Zhang said with concern.

"Haha, Mom, I'm not tired. My dad didn't let me help carry water this afternoon, so I was only responsible for catching fish. Catching fish is so easy for me." Yun Yiyi said happily.

"Then you have to ask your brother to help massage your legs, Yiyi." Zhang said disagreeingly.

After hearing what Zhang said, Brother Yun sat next to Yun Yiyi and massaged her calves.

"Brother, please be gentler. It hurts a little." Yun Yiyi said with a bitter face.

"Then I'll be gentler." Brother Yun reduced the strength in his hands.

"Third brother, next time something like this happens, I will definitely call you. This afternoon, Dad was busy carrying water, and I was the only one fishing in the pond. I was so bored."

"Second brother, at that fork in the road, Dad took me and Uncle Zhang separated. Dad took me to the water pond, and Uncle Zhang took people to the top of the mountain to check. Later, Uncle Zhang was busy transporting water, and I forgot to ask him what was on the mountain. When I see Uncle Zhang tomorrow, I must ask him." Yun Yiyi said loudly.

"Okay, Uncle Zhang has told you, remember to tell me, Yiyi." Second Brother Yun said.

"Don't worry, second brother, I won't forget."

"Brother, when you pinched me, I felt the pain in my legs instantly go away. It feels very comfortable. I feel like I can walk another 20 miles of mountain roads now." Yun Yiyi said proudly.

"Yiyi, you are bragging again. I don't believe you can walk twenty miles of mountain road now." Brother Yun San looked at Yun Yiyi with great suspicion.

"If I say I can leave, I can leave. Mom, please give me some advice. Do you think I can do it?" Yun Yiyi looked at Zhang eagerly.

When Zhang saw Yun Yiyi's pitiful look, her heart melted.

"If my girl says she can leave, then she can leave. Yiyi, don't worry, mother will definitely believe you. And third brother, you are not allowed to bully your sister." Zhang said pretending to be angry.

"Mom, you are taking sides again. You only love my sister and not me. I'm going to cry." Third Brother Yun covered his face with his hands and pretended to be crying.
