After dinner, Mr. Han took his wife and two grandsons for a walk around the production team. They did not visit the homes of their neighbors, but only briefly introduced themselves to people when they met them on the road.
The rice mill and oil press were built after Han Zheng came here. They are very busy now since they first opened. Village cadres often come to check on the situation. They are all here now, so Grandma Han took the opportunity to meet with them and express her gratitude to them.
After leaving the rice mill, they went to the slope where the neighbors were working. Grandma Han wanted to see the crops everyone was growing.
"Lin Shan, where is Huaying?"
When Han Zheng came over and didn't see the person he loved, he immediately started looking around.
"Our land is almost finished. She and Yin Zhiqing and the others have gone to the back of the hillside." Lin Shan pointed in the direction. Seeing his grandmother and cousin also coming, she smiled and politely called out, "Grandma Han, Brother Han, hello."
"Hello, little comrade." Grandma Han responded with a kind smile.
Han Zhe also nodded politely: "Hello, Lin Zhiqing."
"Grandpa Han, you finally got to reunite with Grandma Han, and it's rare for Brother Han to come over. You two should just rest at home, and we'll take our time with the farm work."
Old Man Han walked at the back with his hands behind his back and said with a smile, "They want to come up the mountain to take a look. I'll walk with them."
Lin Shan said with a smile: "Grandpa Han, tell me the truth, are you here to see people or to see the scenery?"
"You little girl, you are so cunning." Old Master Han laughed a lot.
The team leader followed them up and saw Lin Shan chatting and not working again. He shouted at the top of his voice: "Lin Shan, you are slacking off again."
Lin Shan: "...Captain, I must have had a grudge against you in my past life."
"Look at Yun Huaying and Jiang Yuan. They work faster than the old educated youth, and you're still dawdling here."
The team leader complained about her slow speed, but he was not really teaching her a lesson. Although she worked a little slowly, she was very conscientious and careful, and there was nothing wrong with her. In fact, her performance was better than Yin Mei and the others.
Lin Shan curled her lips and quickly dug the dirt at her feet. She turned around and walked away with her hoe. Seeing Old Man Han looking at her and smiling, she felt a little embarrassed. "Grandpa Han, I didn't mean to dawdle. I'm just not good at work and can't compare to the others."
"You are all children from the city. You have never done farm work before, but you quickly got into the role after coming here and have performed very well." Grandpa Han has been paying attention to the three of them and has a good evaluation and impression of them.
After receiving the praise, Lin Shan immediately took it as an order: "Captain, did you hear that? Grandpa Han praised me."
"If you keep nagging and slacking off, you'll have to go and repair the canal in the afternoon." The team leader knew how to find their weak spots.
This was indeed Lin Shan's Achilles' heel. Turning the soil and planting vegetables was the limit of her labor. Repairing the canal and doing heavy physical work would definitely cost her her life. So, without further ado, she immediately shouldered her hoe and walked forward, waving to the Han family. "Grandma Han, take your time shopping. I'll come visit you again when you have a break."
"Lin Zhiqing, you are busy. Let's talk again when you are free." Grandma Han smiled kindly.
After Lin Shan left, Grandma Han smiled and asked, "This young comrade is also one of the three educated youth living below us, right?"
"Yes." Old Man Han nodded and led them to follow Lin Shan. "I'll take you to meet that child. She and Lin Shan are from the same place. They are very good classmates and friends. They came to the countryside together this time."
"Jacaranda."
When Han Zheng and the others came over, Yun Huaying was planting potatoes with her head down. Seeing the Han family coming, she said something to Jiang Yuan and Yin Mei beside her, called Lin Shan to replace her, and went along the path to meet the elders.
Grandma Han kept her eyes fixed on her. Although the distance was a bit far, she could see that this woman was tall and slender, and her extremely plain clothes could not hide her unique temperament and elegance.
Yun Huaying strode over, took off her hat, and politely called out, "Grandma Han, Brother Han, hello."
After seeing her facial features clearly, Grandma Han was shocked and blurted out: "Feng Yi!"
Seeing that she had mistaken her for her grandmother, Yun Huaying curled her lips slightly and introduced herself: "Grandma Han, my name is Yun Huaying, and Ruan Fengyi is my grandmother."
"Ah, you're not, yes, you're not..."
Grandma Han came back to her senses and said, "You are not Feng Yi. Feng Yi is dead."
After she finished speaking, she thought about her self-introduction and became a little excited: "Are you Feng Yi's granddaughter?"
"Yes." Yun Huaying nodded.
"Your father is Shao Fan?"
Grandma Han remembered the Yun family's two children. When she saw her calling Ruan Fengyi "Grandma", she thought she was Yun Shaofan's daughter.
"No, Yun Shaofan is my uncle, and my mother is Yun Jinghong."
"Oh, you are Jinghong's daughter." Grandma Han also recalled Yun Jinghong's childhood and smiled kindly and warmly: "You look so much like your mother, a natural beauty."
After that, he asked her, "Are your grandpa and mom okay?"
Yun Huaying saw that she didn't know, and it was obvious that the Han family hadn't told her, so she said calmly, "My grandfather and mother are both dead."
"What?" The smile on Grandma Han's face disappeared instantly.
"They passed away many years ago. My grandfather passed away ten years ago, and my mother passed away seven years ago."
The news came suddenly, and Grandma Han's voice trembled a little: "How could it be? How could they all die? Your mother was so young, how could she..."
"Meishu, the story of the Yun family is a long one. I'll tell you later." Old Man Han patted her shoulder.
Grandma Han knew everything about the Yun family's past. She had always thought that after the events of that year, Yun Qing took his two children and left Kyoto, and they would be able to live a peaceful life. However, she did not expect that they all ended up dying young. However, she had a guess about the fate of the Yun family in a moment.
Thinking that the Yun family still had a son, he quickly asked, "Where is your uncle Shao Fan?"
"My uncle, aunt, and three cousins are all in Sichuan Province now."
Yun Huaying didn't tell her in detail about her uncle and aunt, not because she didn't want to tell her, but because there were other people around, and they were all listening with pricked ears.
She didn't elaborate, and Grandma Han was cautious and didn't ask any more questions. She planned to have a good chat with her later, so she asked again, "Where's your father? Do you have any other brothers and sisters?"
"My mother only gave birth to me as a daughter. My father is a scumbag and a villain. I sent him to prison and he will probably be sentenced to death soon."
She spoke so calmly, especially the last sentence, as if she was talking about someone else's family. Her tone was so flat that there was not a single ripple. However, Grandma Han and Han Zhe, who were unaware of the situation, were stunned.
Old Man Han pulled the old woman's sleeve and said the same thing: "I'll tell you when I get back."
