Age: My Small World

Chapter 103 Reminder

On the way home from school in the evening.

Yang Jun was still recalling what he had learned at noon.

Cheng Xiaoyu kept chattering, "Brother Xiaoshan, I even found sand in my food in the cafeteria today, and they didn't do anything about it."

The same words seemed to have been said by my second sister.

"Has the county's supply also run into problems so soon?"

Yang Jun sighed.

Even if you have your own little world, don't be afraid of any problems.

But when the great changes come, can he really stay out of it?

"Brother Xiaoshan? Are you daydreaming again?"

Yang Jun came back to his senses and didn't put on a sour face. Instead, he said calmly, "Xiao Yu'er, the food in the cafeteria will become less and less delicious from now on. You better be mentally prepared."

"Ah? Why?"

Cheng Xiaoyu was a little confused.

"I guess I ate too much recently, so I need to recover for a while."

The others were still full of confidence in the big pot meal, so Yang Jun didn't say much.

"We removed the meat before, and now we can't even cook the rice. Why don't we go home and eat together?" The little girl pouted.

It’s not that she has become picky about food, she has eaten all kinds of dishes, but now she can eat them in the cafeteria or in the village, so naturally she has more choices.

The school cafeteria has been attacked not just in the last two days. The meat supply may have been cut off before, but the cafeteria didn't say anything.

"It's the same eating at home. Everyone's busy helping out at the steel mill lately, so there's not much to eat."

Yang Jun explained.

Mentioning this, Cheng Xiaoyu suddenly said with some regret: "Yesterday I heard Yu Li say that someone from their village went to the steel mill and came back, and then told everyone that the first group of people who went to the factory had the opportunity to become regular employees."

"Brother Xiaoshan, it would be great if I could become a regular worker at the steel mill."

"When you graduate from high school, every factory will be vying for you, don't worry."

Speaking of this, we have to mention this group of classmates. Many of them also went to the steel plant to help.

Even if they are not allowed to work, they will still wave flags and cheer loudly.

The steel mill was opened under such circumstances.

"Hehe, from now on, Brother Xiaoshan, it will be fine if you can enter the factory."

She suddenly remembered what her brother had said and quickly ran forward.

"Wait for me, why are you running all of a sudden?"

Yang Jun caught up with her somewhat helplessly, as the road was not particularly peaceful at the moment.

During the end of the year, not only did many people go to Wangxi Village to help, but some villagers who were apprentices in the county town were also persuaded to return.

A large number of people who had nothing to do in the county town were identified and sent back directly according to their registered residence.

Except for apprentices who have formal jobs and important positions, it is difficult for others to stay.

This has also led to an increase in the number of petty thefts in the village.

When walking on the road, I was afraid that someone would run out from the cornfield on the side of the road.

If they are men, they will rob them of their money.

But if it's a woman, especially a pretty woman, the outcome is self-evident.

So during this period of time, Yang Jun has asked his eldest sister not to come back, and Xiao Yuer must follow him closely when going to school with him and not slack off.

Fortunately, this situation can be brought under control soon, but we still need to be extra cautious now.

In other words, all kinds of complicated things are now crowded together. Otherwise, with the current appeal, many things can be easily done.

The next day, when he got the cotton coat from Zhou Qiang, he kindly reminded Yang Jun.

Of course, the money was paid in full.

Cheng Xiaoyu has completely lost her patience with the cafeteria and is ready to go home early to eat.

There are fewer and fewer people in the classroom.

Some students went to help their families, while others noticed something and have been storing food everywhere in recent days.

"Yang Jun, come out with me for a moment."

After the foreign language class, Wei Ran suddenly greeted Yang Jun.

The only dozen or so students no longer found it strange and had become accustomed to it.

Cheng Xiaoyu looked at the teacher's back curiously, feeling that she and Brother Xiaoshan were very familiar.

Yang Jun didn't quite understand what Wei Ran asked him to do and walked out confused.

"Yang Jun, have your family store some food these days. The food depot is currently a bit vacant, and I'm afraid you'll starve."

"Teacher Wei, what about the cafeteria?"

"Of course it's operating normally, but we need to save some to send to the factory in the future so that we don't get used to it."

"What's the problem? I can eat anything."

It seems that Wei Ran also knows something, but not much. He just asked Yang Jun to store food at home in advance.

Yang Jun accepted her kindness and promised to repay her when he had the chance.

As time went on, the situation in the city seemed to become much more tense.

It's a rare day off on Sunday.

Because Yang Jun asked his eldest sister not to come back, there are still only three people at home.

Yang Jun suddenly suggested, "Mom, why don't we dig up all the sweet potatoes from our field? If we keep going, they'll just rot in the ground."

Sweet potatoes are best harvested in October, any later than that.

However, all the strong laborers are now at the steel plant, and the village cannot organize manpower for large-scale excavation, resulting in the sweet potato problem being stuck here.

"Son, this land is no longer ours. It belongs to the village. You can't dig it randomly."

Li Xiaohua is very cautious and would never let her family take such a risk.

Besides, although the big pot meals nowadays are not as oily and meaty as before, at least it’s enough to fill your stomach.

Sweet potatoes, even if we dig them up, we won’t eat them at home.

Yang Jun was really helpless now.

He can occasionally call himself the head of the family, but when it comes to the safety of the children, I won't listen.

"Let's leave it to fate." I have done everything I can. Since it cannot be changed, I will just bear it.

Since this is the case, I can't continue to be slow.

At night, a rain of spiritual water fell again in the small world.

Hundreds of flowers are stretching out their petals, and clusters of foxtail grass are swaying in the wind, carrying bees with them.

As the rain fell, every blade of grass stretched out its leaves to the fullest extent possible to catch as many falling raindrops as possible.

The fish jumped out of the pond and swallowed the spiritual rain in big gulps, and then rolled out from their gills. No one knew whether they got it or not.

What was even more amazing was that the four little rabbits came directly to the river and waited for every portion of spiritual water to pass by.

The four little guys are already bulging and look like adult rabbits.

On the other side, the appearance of a group of chicks brought a lot more vitality to the small world.

That was the chick Yang Jun had bought before. Since it was not fed with much spiritual water, it looked relatively normal, not like one that was forced to be born.

He also didn't like the chickens walking around and pooping everywhere, so he specially isolated an area near the pear and peach trees for them to graze.
