Age: My Small World

Chapter 167 Uncle’s House

"What? Building a house?"

In the room, four people sat around the stove, their hands touching the edge of the stove, bringing a lot of warmth.

At this moment, my aunt and uncle's eyes were full of surprise.

Needless to say, Yang Qingping knew the Yang family's situation very well, and it was almost impossible for them to build a house.

Although my uncle Li Yanbing is honest and simple, he also knows that it will cost a lot of money to build a house during this period.

Little cousin Li Weimin didn't care about these things, but asked happily: "Brother, can I come to your house to play?"

"Of course you can. You can play as long as you want and sleep in the same room with me at night." Yang Jun touched his head and smiled.

Seeing how close the two were, the aunt was very pleased and no longer worried that the children would not take care of each other.

"Then I want to go. I haven't been to my aunt's house for a long time."

For children, there is not much to think about.

Yang Jun looked at his aunt again: "Aunt, my mother and I have already discussed this matter. We will start looking for someone tomorrow."

Yang Qingping rolled her eyes and said, "Who else do we need? Just ask your uncle to help, and also bring your uncle along. The two of them will be enough."

"Xiaoshan, let me tell you, this house was built by your uncle all by himself. His craftsmanship is not much worse than those craftsmen."

"Hehe, that's what I can do." My uncle said with a simple smile.

"That's it. I have some food at home. You guys are going to build a house, so it will definitely consume a lot. Take it all back with you so that your family won't starve."

Yang Jun was a little embarrassed and said, "Aunt, there's nothing missing at home, there's no need to do this. I didn't come here to tear the house apart."

"It's just a little food, why demolish the house? That's nonsense."

Yang Qingping said indifferently, but still glanced at her uncle.

The response I got was a nod, and my uncle was not angry.

"Really, there's no need, aunt, can I still lie to you?"

"You'll know when you visit their house tomorrow."

"Okay, then I'll take a look at it when the time comes." Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, the aunt didn't insist any longer.

"By the way, take the fish you brought back. This meat is good for Erniu and the others to supplement their diet. We don't need it at home."

However, the way Li Weimin swallowed his saliva spoke volumes.

Everyone was in a difficult situation during that period. Where could my aunt get a lot of food? She could only eat the previous stored food and the new sweet potatoes.

Everyone is almost the same, and the food distributed is not much different, so you can't believe everything my aunt says.

"It's just a fish, not a good one. I've already taken one home, so I'll give you two more to try."

He will send another one to his uncle's house later.

"Where did you go fishing in the middle of winter?"

My aunt couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"Auntie, I have a secret base where I can catch fish quickly. There are fish biting even in winter."

He still used the same excuse as before.

"Forget it, I won't ask any more questions."

When my aunt heard that it involved secrets, she stopped asking.

If there really was such a place, Yang Jun wouldn't mind his family knowing about it. Unfortunately, he made it up and couldn't tell anyone about it, so he could only keep it a secret.

The fish was not particularly big, only about two or three pounds, so my aunt could reluctantly accept it.

If it was a big fish weighing ten pounds, she would definitely not want it.

He didn't stay long at his aunt's house. He declined the invitation to lunch and went to his uncle's house.

In contrast to his uncle's house, Yang Jun's uncle's house lived in another direction, almost around half of the village.

"Dong dong."

Yang Jun raised his hand and knocked on the door of a house in the courtyard which was not very solid.

In his memory, his uncle's house was here, his mother also grew up here, and finally married to Fanjiazhuang.

"I'm coming, I'm coming." A somewhat harsh voice sounded, it should be my aunt.

After opening the door, it was indeed my aunt Wenhong.

She is not particularly old, only about thirty years old, but she looks quite old, as if she is almost forty.

Her appearance was a bit aggressive, making her look sharp at first glance. "It's you, Yang Jun, what are you doing here?"

Wen Hong frowned.

"I'm here to see my uncle."

Yang Jun said casually.

After all, he was her nephew, she couldn't stop him, so she just let him go.

"Your uncle is not at home."

Yang Jun was surprised for a moment: "Then where did he go?"

It's impossible to go out to work in this weather.

"Someone took him to hunt rabbits. He probably won't be back for a while. Why don't you go back today?" Wen Hong felt that her nephew must be up to no good when he came to see her.

At this time, my cousin Li Cui also came over.

"Brother." She called out crisply.

"Cui'er is at home." Yang Jun was quite concerned about his cousins. They had all grown up under his care and he felt very close to them.

"Brother, what are you doing here today? Are you looking for my boss? He left early in the morning."

"Well, it's okay to wait."

Yang Jun's words gave his aunt a pause.

She shook her head and said, "You really can come to your uncle for anything."

Suddenly Yang Jun handed over something that he had prepared long ago. He really couldn't stand his aunt Wenhong's nagging anymore.

Wenhong was quite surprised to see him coming to her house and bringing something.

When he saw it was a fish, he raised his eyebrows and a look of joy appeared on his face.

"Xiaoshan, you're here, but why are you carrying a fish? Where did you catch it?"

"Haha." Yang Jun smiled back.

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to ask. I'll just make you some fish head soup today."

She didn't hesitate and took the fish into the kitchen and started cooking.

You know what, at least this aunt didn't hide the fish completely. She even cooked a meal and invited him to eat with her.

Yang Jun didn't have to wait too long. At lunch time, his uncle came back with a rabbit in his hand and an excited look on his face.

My uncle Li Yancai does not live up to his name. He is rather burly and does not look like a scholar. He seems more like a military man.

But his personality is just the opposite. He listens to his aunt in everything and doesn't have much of his own opinion.

As soon as he saw Yang Jun, Li Yancai's brows lit up with joy.

"Xiaoshan, when did you come?"

He casually handed the rabbit to his daughter Li Cui, without caring whether it would scare her.

Then a palm as big as a palm fan fell on Yang Jun, slapping him hard.

"Good, good, good, good. I feel much stronger now. It's much better than before. I'm really strong now."

He was no less relieved than his aunt.

After all, Yang Jun is his nephew and Li Xiaohua is his sister, and they are connected by blood.

"Uncle." Yang Jun called politely.

"You're in your own home, don't be shy, just sit down."

Li Yancai pulled him to sit down.

At this time, my aunt also came in.

"Why are you back so late? Did you catch any rabbits?"

My uncle said excitedly, "We're lucky to have caught one. Xiaoshan happened to be here today, so why don't you cook it for us to have a taste?"

"No." My aunt refused.

"I've already made fish head soup. I can't cook meat anymore. Let's eat it tomorrow."

"Fish? Where did the fish come from?" Li Yancai frowned.
