The Learning System is My Misunderstood Daughter

Chapter 43-44

Chapter 43

Shortly after the Wang family's funeral, Yun Yi asked Yun Shengmin's family to deliver some items. It included one pound of meat vouchers, two pounds of pastries, two bottles of white wine, and two cans of malted milk. She mentioned that one pound of pastries and one can of malted milk were for Zhao's grandparents. This was the rhythm of sending the New Year's gifts in advance.

After Zhao Yueji received the items, she didn't rush to go to Zhao's house. After all, the items were non-perishable, so it didn't matter if she waited a little longer.

"Let's wait for our eldest son to come back, and then he can bring them with him," Zhao Yueji said. She understood that the elderly couple wanted to see their eldest grandson.

However, their eldest grandson, Yun Da, had not returned home even after the time mentioned in the telegram had passed. Now it was already late in the twelfth lunar month, and the Lunar New Year was approaching.

While Zhao Yueji was busy at home with the family, afraid of missing anything during the New Year preparations, she was also anxious about why their eldest son hadn't returned home.

"Could he have changed his mind at the last minute?" Zhao Yueji and Yun Haisheng whispered to each other at night. Lately, she had been dreaming every day that her son sent a letter saying he wouldn't come home.

Yun Haisheng was also uncertain, but he felt that their eldest son would still send a message if he didn't plan to come home. "Didn't we receive the telegram where he said he wouldn't come back? He probably sent it back."

However, as the family's anticipation grew, Yun Da was still nowhere to be seen, even as the Lunar New Year approached.

Now even Yun Haisheng had no words to comfort his disappointed wife, but they still had to celebrate the New Year. Besides, what if Yun Da returned after the New Year?

So, on the last day of the lunar year, the entire Yun family gathered and shuttled back and forth between the market and the supply and marketing cooperative. However, this year, the market during the New Year was noticeably bleak with fewer common foods and produce, and the prices were much higher.

Yun Xiaolu didn't accompany Zhao Yueji this time. She wanted to follow Yun Shuang and Yun Haisheng to the New Year's market. Zhao Yueji took the twins to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Yun Xiaolu had grown taller and had turned one year older since then. The family was not too worried about her getting lost in the crowd.

After the busy funeral, not long after, Yun Yi asked Yun Shengmin to deliver some items to the Wang family. It included one pound of meat coupons, two pounds of pastries, two bottles of white wine, and two cans of malted milk. She mentioned that one pound of pastries and one can of malted milk were for Zhao's grandparents. This was an early return of the New Year's gift.

After receiving the items, Zhao Yueji didn't rush to go to the Zhao family. Since the items were not perishable, there was no need to worry about them being separated. It didn't matter if they waited a little longer.

"Let's wait for our eldest son to come back and take them together." Zhao Yueji knew that her husband was concerned about their eldest son visiting his grandparents. It was clear to Zhao Yueji.

However, their eldest son, Yun Da, hadn't come home even after the time mentioned in the telegram. It was already late December, and the Lunar New Year was approaching.

While taking care of the family at home and making preparations for the New Year, Zhao Yueji was worried about why their eldest son hadn't returned yet.
