Chapter 40: Chapter 40 Ready to Visit Him_1
Mother Yun wasn’t that she didn’t trust her daughter-in-law, but after all, they were going on a long journey, and she was somewhat worried.

“Mom, I’ve been the one going to the town’s junkyard to pick textbooks these past few times.”

Mother Yun was aware of this, her daughter-in-law was the only one among all the teachers who went to the junkyard.

“Hanhan, we’ll discuss this later.” Mother Yun felt she should tell her husband about this and have him make the decision.

“Alright.” Meng Yunhan obediently agreed.

Meng Yunhan went to the town again to choose textbooks from the junkyard, and she also informed her uncle that she was going to be on holiday and might not have any news to share for several months.

And because she had been so busy, Meng Yunhan completely forgot about Mother Yun’s previous suggestion that she visit the army.

“Hanhan, you’re about to be on holiday in a couple of days, have you packed your things?” Mother Yun brought up the topic again, which suddenly made Meng Yunhan remember.

“Mom, I’ve been so busy lately, I honestly forgot.” Meng Yunhan truly had forgotten.

Mother Yun was displeased a bit but didn’t show it. She had indeed been busy lately, but that doesn’t mean she should forget about her son, does it?

Poor Ahao- forgotten by his own wife.

Meng Yunhan was, of course, unaware of this, because in her past life she hadn’t learned how to be a good daughter-in-law and was still at the learning stage in this life.

“After summer break, get yourself ready to visit Ahao at the army base.” Mother Yun left these words and walked away without looking back.

Meng Yunhan was completely stunned. What happened to her mother-in-law?

Was she angry?

But why is she angry?

Meng Yunhan reviewed the previous conversation and concluded that her mother-in-law must be genuinely upset because she had forgotten about it?

But it shouldn’t be like this!

After thinking for a long time, Meng Yunhan still couldn’t find a reasonable explanation.

Nevertheless, she started packing for her trip to the army base.

“Hanhan, when you’re at the army, take good care of Ahao.” Mother Yun held Meng Yunhan’s hand and said this tenderly.

Meng Yunhan knew that her task was to take care of Yun Hao.

“Mom, don’t worry, I’ll take good care of Ahao.” She had enough food and some meat in her storage. In these lean times, they could live a slightly better life.

The only problem was the sweltering heat. After having enjoyed air conditioning for years, she was finding it hard to adapt to the heat. But if her in-laws could live with it, so could she.

In this era, everything needed ration coupons. Because of the scarce production, buying a big item like a fan was expensive, costing at least several hundred. Moreover, many places still didn’t have electricity.

Even if they managed to buy a fan, without electricity, they couldn’t use it.

“Take care of yourself when you’re at the army base.” Seeing that her daughter-in-law readily agreed, Mother Yun also gave Meng Yunhan some advice.

“My dear third daughter-in-law, your eldest brother will be here soon to take you to the county.”

Meng Yunhan tried to refuse, but her in-laws were adamant that her brother-in-law should accompany her.

She had to agree.

She was mulling over buying some small gifts for both families when she returned.

“Is our third sister-in-law ready?” Yun Hai came over after having breakfast.

Meng Yunhan had planned to travel light, but Mother Yun packed many things. Apart from Meng Yunhan’s two sets of clothes for changing, she filled the suitcase Meng Yunhan originally brought from the city with lots of things: dried mushrooms, dried fruits, cured meat, a bag of flour, and rice. Mother Yun was afraid that the rations assigned to Yun Hao might not be enough for the young couple. So, she packed quite a lot.
