The countryside now is no longer what it once was.
Many young people worked away from home and wouldn't return until the end of the year, and some didn't even return at all. Those who did return were often busy with work all year round. When they finally got a chance to rest at home, they would sleep in late.
At around eight in the morning, there were not many people outside in the Lin estate.
On his journey, Lin Yun only saw some older folks busy with their chores from a distance. He didn't meet anyone he recognized on his way, and before long, he found himself at his parent's doorstep.
The houses surrounding theirs were all multi-story buildings, only their home remained a single-story house.
"Today is Little Cloud's birthday... Ah... I don't even know if he's doing well out there..."
Just as Lin Yun reached the gate, he heard a woman sighing from within the courtyard.
