Chapter 60: Distributing Food at Midnight (Part )
Butcher Yun looked around the donkey cart and found that he had almost packed up all his belongings.
"Boss, it will take more than two hours to distribute the grain in the village. We don't need your help, so you should take this time to get some sleep." Yun the butcher said with concern.
"Dad, you really don't need my help? Can you and my mom handle it? I don't have to sleep tonight." asked Boss Yun.
"Boss, listen to your father. Go back and sleep for a while, and I'll wake you up when we're time to set off. Your father and I can take care of the rest." Zhang touched Boss Yun's head and said in a low voice.
"Dad, Mom. I'm going to bed now. If you're too busy, just wake me up to help." Boss Yun said in a loud voice.
"Okay, got it. You should go to bed soon." Butcher Yun patted Boss Yun's shoulder and said.
After listening to Yun the Butcher and Zhang, Boss Yun went back to sleep. Before falling asleep, Boss Yun secretly thought that when he woke up, he would help Yun the Butcher push the cart. Yun the Butcher had been busy all day and must be exhausted.
Yun the butcher and Zhang found a few earthenware jars and a few empty baskets for later use. Yun the butcher saw that the village chief and his men had not arrived yet, so he and Zhang leaned against the donkey cart to rest for a while. As soon as Yun the butcher sat down, he felt his legs were sore and his whole body became heavy. He felt that he could fall asleep immediately if he leaned against the donkey cart.
"Master, you can take a nap leaning against the donkey cart. I'll call you when the village chief and the elders come." Zhang said as she extinguished the torch.
"Okay, then I'll sleep for a while. When the village chief and the elders come, please call me quickly. We are very tight on time tonight and can't afford to waste any time." As Yun the Butcher spoke, he fell asleep leaning against the donkey cart.
Zhang watched Yun the butcher fall asleep. She sat beside him and looked at him distressedly. She didn't know how many shops the butcher and Yiyi had visited in the city today to buy so many things. Moreover, the butcher had been busy since he came back. Now he could even fall asleep leaning on the donkey cart. It was obvious that the butcher was really tired.
Zhang waited until Yun the Butcher started snoring, then she stood up and walked towards where the children were sleeping. Then, she took out a box of ointment from the cart. Zhang took the ointment and came to Yun Yiyi's side, lifted the quilt and took off Yun Yiyi's pants, then touched Yiyi's little butt with her hand and found that it was not swollen. Zhang breathed a sigh of relief. She was angry before and had no control over the strength of her hands. She was really worried that she would swell the child's butt. Fortunately, Zhang's strength was weak, so Yiyi's butt was not swollen.
Zhang scooped out a lump of ointment with her hands and rubbed it on Yiyi's buttocks, then spread the ointment evenly with both hands. After waiting for a few minutes, she felt that Yiyi's buttocks were very dry, then she put on Yiyi's pants and covered her with a quilt. Yiyi first worked in the city with Yun the butcher for a day. After returning, she was busy fighting off the refugees who stole food. Yiyi was exhausted today. Even though Zhang was making such a big noise, Yiyi was sleeping soundly and showed no signs of waking up.
Yiyi has been a smart and lively child since she was young, and she can also make people happy with her words. Zhang and Yun the Butcher have never beaten her. It is really unexpected that Yiyi is such a smart child. She actually learned the trick of a comeback from the master, and she concealed it so well. If Yiyi had not helped to fight the refugees who were stealing food today, it is estimated that no one would have discovered that she could comeback, and her kung fu is so good. Zhang felt proud and scared. She was proud that Yiyi was not afraid of hardship and practiced kung fu so well that she had the ability to protect herself. She was scared because Yiyi was bold and careful, and she was very opinionated. Zhang did not regret beating Yun Yiyi.
Zhang also wanted Yun Yiyi to have some concerns, so that she would also consider her parents and brother when doing things in the future. Even if Yun Yiyi's kung fu was very high, her parents would still worry that their child would get hurt. Zhang sat next to Yun Yiyi for a while, thinking a lot in her mind. It seemed that she would have to keep Yiyi by her side in the future to temper her temper.
At this time, Zhang heard some whispering voices coming from behind, so she stood up and walked towards the donkey cart.
Soon, Li Xiucai and Zhang the Hunter drove over in a carriage. There was a torch on the rack in front of the carriage, which illuminated the area around the carriage. Seeing this, Zhang woke up Yun the Butcher.
"You're here. This half hour has passed so quickly." Yun the Butcher rubbed his face with both hands and said in a low voice.
"Brother Yun, it will take a little while. We thought of coming here first to unload the food and medicinal herbs from the carriage. This way, when everyone comes to distribute the food later, things will be faster." Hunter Zhang replied.
"Yes, Brother Yun, the schedule tonight is too tight. We don't want to fall behind." Li Xiucai said embarrassedly.
"I have unloaded all the things on my donkey cart and put them here. Let's start unloading the things on the horse cart now." Yun the butcher said, pointing to the pile of things next to the donkey cart.
"Okay, let's put the food together and the medicinal herbs next to it. This way, when Uncle Wu comes, the medicinal herbs can be handed over very quickly." Li Xiucai said.
"Okay, let's three start moving. Let your sister-in-law hold the torch next to us." Butcher Yun took the torch off the carriage and handed it to Zhang who was standing aside.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Li Xiucai and Zhang the Hunter said embarrassedly. Zhang shook her hand and stood beside the carriage to light it.
Yun the Butcher, Li Xiucai and Zhang the Hunter were very quick. They put the things they had brought down together with the things Yun the Butcher had bought. Then they put all the medicinal herbs and the jar of strong liquor next to them.
Here, Yun the Butcher, Li Xiucai and Zhang the Hunter had just finished moving the medicinal herbs when the village chief and the elders came over.
"Li Xiucai, Zhang the Hunter and Yun the Butcher, have you packed up everything?" the village chief asked anxiously.
"Village chief, I have packed up all the things on my donkey cart and put them here. Please take a look." Yun the butcher said, pointing to a pile of things.
"Village chief, the things on my carriage have been packed up and placed next to the things Brother Yun bought. This way it will be more convenient for everyone when we divide them later." Li Xiucai said, pointing to a pile of things next to him.
"Okay, then let's wait here for the villagers to come." The village chief and the elders were very happy.
After a few minutes, Uncle Wu came over first. The village chief and Li Xiucai went to hand over the herbs and prescriptions to Uncle Wu. There were many people helping with the handover, so the herbs were handed over quickly. Uncle Wu put the prescriptions away separately and asked Yun the butcher to help load the herbs into the carriage next to him. Yun the butcher lifted the curtain and found that there was a large space inside Uncle Wu's carriage. After Yun the butcher helped load the herbs into the carriage, he found that there was still half a space in the carriage.
