By the twelfth lunar month of 1982, the village had implemented the household responsibility system, splitting the fields among individual families. Since Yuanchun and her four children were still registered in Red Star Village, the brigade leader notified her to return to claim their share of the land.
For this, Yuanchun took a day off and brought her children, who were on winter break, back to Red Star Village.
The family was allotted twenty acres of dry land, two acres of hilly land, and half an acre of private plot. Yuanchun immediately leased all the land to a family in Red Star Village with the most able-bodied laborers.
