survival in the wilderness

Chapter 123 Human Heart
The next day, when Lin Yan woke up and didn't see Jin Zai, she was stunned and asked Hua Hong, "Where did Dad go?"

This early in the morning, he just came, so we should have breakfast together now.

Hua Hong smiled and said, "Jin Zai got up just after dawn, and went to open up wasteland. His injury is still not healed, I asked him to recuperate at home, but he didn't listen at all, took his head and machete and left."

"What? Going to open up wasteland?" Lin Yan was surprised, "Auntie is right, Dad's injury needs to be taken care of. When he comes back, we will persuade him."

Huahong was helpless, "It's useless to persuade him. If you try to persuade him again, he might listen to you. Jin Zai was used to working before, so if you ask him to do nothing, he won't be able to stay idle."

Lin Yan rolled his eyes, "It takes a lot of effort to open up wasteland. My father's injury can't be done. Let him pull weeds in the wheat field. This is easier than opening up wasteland."

"Okay. After dinner, Jin Zai and I will go to the field, let him weed, and I will open up wasteland."

"Aniang should do what she can, don't exhaust yourself."

After waiting for a while, Jin Zai came back, and he put on the tattered clothes again.

Lin Yan suddenly remembered that he should buy cheap clothes for him to work conveniently. The new clothes are too expensive, and Jin Zai must be reluctant to wear them to the fields.

The cloth I bought, I don't know when I can make a suit of clothes for Jin Zai.

During the meal, Lin Yan said directly: "Mother, the cloth has been bought, you can go to Mrs. Mao to help make some clothes for Dad."

Hua Hong was taken aback, looked at Jin Zai's clothes and understood, nodded and said: "Okay, after dinner, I will take the cloth and Jin Zai to find Mrs. Mao."

Jin Zai hurriedly said, "I'm not in a hurry to wear it, and I don't need to find someone to do it."

Lin Yan smiled and said, "Father, why don't you rush. The clothes on your body are already torn, and you always get scratched when you wear them in the wild. Auntie is slow in making clothes, not as good as Mrs. Mao. Let her help, Father. The clothes will be ready in no time."

"You can't wear these clothes anymore. That's the deal, we'll go find Mrs. Mao later." Hua Hong made a final decision without giving Jin Zai a chance to object.

After dinner, Lin Yan went to the laboratory.

People on the road asked her about Jin Zai, and she responded with a smile.

When we arrived at the laboratory, just as we were about to continue planing wood, a group of people came in.

It was Shi Zhi and Huang Ying. As soon as she came, they immediately looked for her.

Hua Min said anxiously: "Is your father okay? I heard that you treat Jin Zai very well. You spent a lot of money buying clothes and shoes for him. Is it true?"

The others looked at Lin Yan eagerly, with gossip in their eyes.

Lin Yan looked over one by one, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Things have been spread, of course it is true. Jin Zai is my father, since he came to our house, he will be a family from now on. Of course it is better for his own family. I really don't care. Come to think of it, all of you are still so gossip."

"Hehe, isn't this a curiosity? It's surprising that Jin Zai has ignored you these past few years and suddenly appeared." Hua Min said with a smile.

Huang Ying also said: "This incident was too sudden. Because of Jin Zai, your mother was beaten, and father was also injured. There was a big disturbance."

But Shi Zhi said: "You only see the appearance. Although this incident was sudden, it gave a start to the men in the city. There must be someone like Jin Zai who will find a woman to set up a new home. This is exactly what Ah Lan and the others want to do."

Hua Min watched Shi Zhi's eyes roll, and changed the subject: "Shi Zhi, you are also a man, will you leave Shi's house in the future?"

Shi Zhi thought about it seriously before saying: "It's hard to say. The Basic Law says very clearly that both men and women are voluntary, and a newly formed family can be headed by a woman or a man. I haven't thought about what will happen in the future."

"Shi Zhi is not yet ten years old. Is it too early for you to ask him?" Lin Yan felt that their topic changed too quickly.

Hua Min grinned, "I didn't just ask when I suddenly thought of it. However, Shi Zhi is right, your father made a start, and there should be more men doing this in the future."

Lin Yan said directly: "That's someone else's choice, we don't want to interfere. Do whatever you want."

Hua Min and the others came here to inquire about the situation, how could they leave so obediently.

The topic that had just been deviated from was brought back again, and they circled around Lin Yan to ask questions, and they left only after getting a satisfactory answer.

Huang Ying didn't leave, and when everyone else had left, she looked at Lin Yan and said in a low voice, "This is a big deal, and everyone in the city knows about it. I'm worried that some people will trouble Jin Zai, you Be prepared."

"What do you know?" Lin Yan asked softly.

After hesitating for a while, Huang Ying said: "A few families came to my house last night. They were all people who were firmly opposed to independent households. I think they came to my house to find the owner after they noticed something."

Since Huang Ye passed away, the new head of the Huang family is her eldest daughter, Huang Fen, who is also Huang Ying's aunt.

Lin Yan only met Huang Fen a few times, so he didn't know much about it, "What's Huang Fen's attitude?"

At the beginning, when Ah Lan proposed to divide the households and wanted to weaken the big households, Huang Ye firmly opposed it, and many people supported it.

Later, Alan did not insist on it clearly, and implemented the Sun City Basic Law, and those people no longer showed up.

Originally thought that after Huang Ye's death, this matter would be over, but they didn't expect Jin Zai's matter to make them aware.

Huang Ying shook her head, "The Patriarch's attitude is unclear, I can't figure it out. However, the Patriarch and Azu used to stand together."

Lin Yan nodded to show that he understood, and let Huang Ying go to work, and she went to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Ah Lan buried herself in her work, and was surprised to see Lin Yan. "Why are you here, do you need me?"

Lin Yan nodded, and said in a low voice, "You should know about Jin Zai. This incident has a great impact, and someone has already noticed it. I went to Huang Fen last night and I'll tell you."

Ah Lan's face darkened, "The matter of Jin Zai has touched their interests. If all the adult men leave their homes, the population of the family will be greatly reduced, and there will be no one to work, those big households will definitely not be able to sit still."

"That's it. When we promulgated the Basic Law, we expected today. You must have countermeasures."

Lin Yan has great confidence in Ah Lan.Now in Sun City, Ah Lan is the first judge of the arbitration tribunal, with the highest status and the greatest right to speak. She can definitely do whatever she wants.

A Lan sneered, "What are you afraid of? Let them make trouble. I'm just worried that I can't find a reason to deal with them. The Basic Law has been enforced and there is no doubt about it. No matter who dares to break the law, they will be punished."

Now that there are clear regulations in the law and strong support from the military, Ah Lan is really not worried.

Some big households just can't see the situation clearly, and always want to have more and more people at home and occupy more resources.

How could Ah Lan watch them develop and grow, big households have natural conveniences, which will make life more and more difficult for small households.

It's not easy for Sun City to get to where it is today, and Ah Lan will never allow anyone to shake its foundation.
