Zhao Huanhuan made a birthday cake for her son all by herself.

Unable to buy cream, I made my own with milk, but it wasn't very good; it was just the best I could do.

An An's great strength also became apparent during this year.

An'an learned to walk at ten months old.

Then, things in the Lin family's courtyard would always be moved around.

Small stools, empty buckets, brooms, dustpans, etc., may be in the east today, but in the west tomorrow.

An'an just fiddles with it for fun.

On her birthday, An'an had already learned to call her father, mother, grandfather, and grandmother.

What he didn't understand was why his father wasn't like his mother, grandparents, and other parents, spending his days playing with him; instead, he just lived in that little wooden frame on the cabinet at home.

Mom said that's Dad, and that the first thing he should do every day after he opens his eyes is to go to the photo and call out "Dad."

Therefore, the first word An'an uttered most fluently was "Dad"!

Unfortunately, Lin Yuan didn't hear it with her own ears.

Zhao Huanhuan wrote it all down in her diary.

A few days after Huanhuan's birthday, the village began distributing things to everyone according to their work points.

To the villagers' surprise, while their village planted the most potatoes this year, other villages also planted a lot, resulting in an overproduction of potatoes this year.

The market didn't need that many potatoes, so the surplus was distributed among the households according to their work points.

In other words, the extra work points wouldn't be paid out; they would only be used to collect potatoes.

Suddenly, everyone was stunned. Some people were even waiting for the money to buy fabric and new things for the New Year!
