Yun Hao reached out, gently squeezing Meng Yunhan’s hand to comfort her. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⟡𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕥⟡𝕟𝕖𝕥
Before returning home, he had held some measure of anticipation for his parents.
“Mm.” Meng Yunhan responded softly.
“Mommy…..” Little Huzi reached out, wanting to clasp Meng Yunhan’s hand as well.
Meng Yunhan watched their childlike movements, warming her heart.
She still had Ahao and Little Huzi.
“Has Ahao not recovered his memory yet?” The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Yun Father found another topic to discuss.
Yun Hao looked at Yun Father, “Not yet.” His response was straightforward and coldly indifferent. This detached demeanor didn’t feel unusual to Yun Father.
Whether before or after losing his memory, their son had this tendency.
“How long do you plan to stay this time?” Having not seen his son for several years and grandchild for more than a year, Yun Father hoped they would stay for a more extended period.
Even though they could be considered as having a house full of children and grandchildren, their home felt devoid of life, only accommodating the elderly couple.
“I’ve only taken a week off.” Yun Hao held Little Huzi, sat him down on his lap, with the latter being obedient, sitting quietly on Yun Hao’s leg.
“Only a week?” Yun Mother finally snapped out of her thoughts about her older brother’s situation.
“Yes, just a week.” Yun Hao was still emotionally detached.
Yun Father glanced at the father-son duo, “Has Little Huzi eaten yet?” Yun Father quickly opened the bag of pastries Meng Yunhan had brought and handed one to Little Huzi.
“Thank you, Grandpa.” The first thing Little Huzi did when he received the pastry was to offer it to Meng Yunhan, completely ignoring Yun Hao.
Observed by a few people, Meng Yunhan felt appreciated but a little embarrassed at the same time, “Little Huzi, you eat, you eat.”
Seeing this, Yun Mother cheerfully remarked, “Little Huzi is really thoughtful for his age, like a three or four year old child.” His speech was clear and his understanding extraordinary for his age, unlike the other children in the village.
“Yeah, Little Huzi is very sensible.” Meng Yunhan responded a bit perfunctorily. This child’s growth could not be separated from their parents’ upbringing.
“You have taken good care of Little Huzi.”
Meng Yunhan thought back to the previous year when her younger sister’s two children turned one year old. She didn’t attend, instead choosing to send them some gifts, which she had not seen them receive.
“Shouldn’t Little Zhuzi be in school now?” Little Zhuzi was almost six, wasn’t it time to start school?
Yun Mother shook her head, “Not yet, we’ll wait till Little Zhuzi gets a bit older to go to school.”
With their daughter struggling financially, and now that the child was one year old with Little Zhuzi looking after him, the daughter could finally start working.
Meng Yunhan understood the reason behind some of these decisions.
They must wait until the implementation of the reform and opening-up policy, then life will get better and better.
Meng Yunhan voiced her confusion, “Father, Mother, aren’t we allowed to do the household responsibility system now? It seems the village hasn’t implemented it yet?”
Yun Father was surprised. “What household responsibility system?”
Meng Yunhan understood; it hadn’t reached their village yet.
“The reform and opening-up policy, the household responsibility system, ending the sharing of meals.”
Yun Father frowned, intrigued, “Yunhan, can you explain in detail what this really means?”
“Let me give an example. Suppose you are assigned three acres of farmland. The output from these three acres, after fulfilling the obligatory contribution to the state, would belong to you. If you have more land, you get more. It motivates individual effort. If your land yields more produce, you’ll have more grain left,” Meng Yunhan explained in simple terms.
