When Zhao Huanhuan appeared at the Zhao family home carrying a sack of potatoes, Zhao Fugui and Zhang Jinhua, who were eating inside, were startled when they saw her through the glass.

The two were so startled they almost dropped their chopsticks. They quickly put down their bowls and chopsticks and went outside into the yard.

"Huanhuan, is this a potato?" Zhao Fugui asked Zhao Huanhuan in disbelief.

“Yes, Dad, Mom, these are the potatoes our family got this year. My mother-in-law and father-in-law gave them to you. We originally wanted to find a ride to give you two sacks, but I said one sack would be enough for you to eat in the winter. I also wanted to come and see you, so I brought them myself, hehe.” Zhao Huanhuan said with a chuckle.

"But it's so heavy, how can you carry it?" Zhang Jinhua went over and tried to lift the sack, but she couldn't.

Zhao Huanhuan waved her hand, "I'm strong. I discovered I'm very strong after giving birth."

After saying that, fearing her parents wouldn't believe her, she picked up the sack and walked around the yard twice.

Zhao Fugui and Zhang Jinhua had no choice but to believe it this time; Huanhuan could lift things that they couldn't move with ease.

This is unbelievable.

Zhao Huanhuan felt that the turning point for her transformation was childbirth. After all, childbirth is a brush with death, so it's only natural to bring something back!

After all, her child is also unusual, and her parents will find out when they see him. It's better to take this opportunity to tell them now.

Zhang Jinhua and Zhao Fugui exchanged a glance, both finding it hard to believe.

"It's true, Mom. I didn't know it when I was in postpartum confinement. I only found out during this year. My mother-in-law usually only lets me take care of An'an and doesn't let me do any heavy work. I had no idea that I would suddenly have so much strength."

"I discovered this from An'an. An'an is also a very strong child. She's only one year old, but she can already lift a bucket of water that's almost half full," Zhao Huanhuan said with a smile as she followed her parents into the house.

"This is unbelievable! Go wash your hands first. Mom will serve you rice. Your dad and I made braised noodles when we get home from get off work."

As Zhang Jinhua served rice to Zhao Huanhuan, she said...

Zhao Huanhuan responded, took off her coat, and went to the bathroom to wash her hands.

While having dinner with her parents, Zhao Huanhuan inquired about their situation this year.

“Your mother said she wants to retire early and wants to go and help you take care of An’an,” Zhao Fugui said.

Zhao Huanhuan waved her hand, "No need, my mother-in-law can keep an eye on things. Mom doesn't need to retire early, that would affect your future pension. Mom is only forty-seven this year, she can retire in three more years."

Zhang Jinhua looked at Zhao Huanhuan and asked, "So what are you planning to do next year? Go back to school, or farm with the villagers?"

Zhao Huanhuan shook her head, "I'm not going back to school. I'll learn how to farm from everyone first. I'm also waiting for Lin Yuan's transfer results to see where he'll be transferred to. I might take the kids to settle down with him."

"Maybe he might come back to Yuancheng. I can't be sure where he'll go until his transfer is finalized. I'll farm for now; it's a learning experience too. There's still so much I don't know." Zhao Huanhuan shared her thoughts with her parents, so they wouldn't retire early to help her and lose their pensions.

If they can live to retirement normally, no matter how much the pension is, at least my parents will have a stable income and their lives will be guaranteed.

Upon hearing this, the couple immediately perked up. "Could Xiao Lin also be transferred to Yuancheng?"

Zhao Huanhuan smiled and shook her head, "I'm not sure, but he wants to work towards this goal, saying that we'll live here closer to you so it will be easier to take care of you in the future."

"And what about your mother-in-law and father-in-law?" Zhao Fugui asked.

“If we move here, they will definitely bring them with them. Both families only have one child, how can we abandon you?” Zhao Huanhuan said.

"Oh, that works too." Zhao Fugui thought it was a good idea, but Lin Yuan's transfer was completely uncertain.

This is something they all hope to achieve.

Zhang Jinhua nodded, "Then Mom will go to work with peace of mind and wait to see when you can come."

Zhao Huanhuan hummed in agreement.

That's enough chatting for now. The whole family can eat in peace.

After dinner, Zhao Huanhuan was about to wash the dishes when her parents told her to go and rest, saying that she must be very tired after traveling by train.

Zhao Huanhuan didn't go to rest; she just sat in the living room, asking her parents about the situation in Yuancheng.

The couple also inquired about Zhao Huanhuan's harvest in Taojia Village this year.

Zhao Huanhuan then explained how the potato crop was overproduced and how it was all used to earn work points for everyone.

After listening, the couple nodded. "This kind of thing happens often. When your older brother came over in the fall, he brought some sweet potatoes and cabbages and said that it was the same in Zhao Village. In the past two years, with the guidance of agronomists, the fields have yielded a bumper harvest. The extra work points are naturally distributed to everyone for what they have grown."

“But then people will have no money left,” Zhao Huanhuan sighed.

"These days, being able to fill your stomach is considered living a good life!" Zhao Fugui said with a smile, taking a very easygoing attitude.

Zhao Huanhuan thought about it and agreed.

People like my father and his generation lived through the 1960s. They are most afraid of experiencing the hunger of that era again, so the idea that having enough to eat is a good life is actually correct.

The couple rested for a while before it was time for them to go back to work in the afternoon.

When asked when Huanhuan would be going back, Huanhuan said tomorrow morning. It was her first time leaving An'an, and she didn't know if the little one would cry, so she didn't dare buy a ticket for too far away.

She bought the ticket after she got off the train.
