There's also the child. In my opinion his characterisation is somewhat flawed. He grew up in a difficult and poor environment, bullied by his older cousins, it would be more believable if he had a more restrained, cautions, understanding nature despite being young.

Of course, my first impression when I first started was that despite the hardships, he is a happy to be by his father's side kind of child. But then as the story progresses, the novel just portrayed him being spoiled, throwing tantrums, not listening to adults. Although there may be such children in reality, but for the purpose of this novel, it does not match the setting.

The fact that the dialogues with him is always about cars and food is really redundant to the point of annoyance. It really made me wonder, is there really nothing else you could say other then I want to eat this, I want to ride the big car?

Knowing how to make delicious popsicles is one thing, but, correct me if I'm wrong, somehow I don't think the recipes (with exact measurements) for mooncakes is general knowledge since they seem to be mass produced in factories.

Making a greenhouse isn't something I would expect a modern man to know how to do either, but somehow, he has all the needed information on how to build one.
