Age: My Small World

Chapter 176: Laying the Groundwork
"Mom, it's still early."

The eldest sister was a little embarrassed, but she did not deny it. After all, girls have to find a husband when they grow up.

"What's so early? All the kids of my age in the village are already babies. You are older than me, sister." The second sister said casually. She was not shy at all.

This is the truth. Although the current regulations require men to marry at the age of 20 and women at the age of 18, people in rural areas often get married a few years earlier. Some even get married at the age of 13 or 14. They are still half-grown children, and it is difficult for them to take care of their own children.

Yang Hongmei and Yang Yumei are already much older in the village.

"Erniu, you are not ashamed." The eldest sister glared at her.

Yang Yumei stuck out her tongue and stopped talking.

Yang Jun actually wanted to lay the groundwork for his eldest sister's affairs so that his mother wouldn't think too much about it later.

The casual remark just now seemed insignificant to the elder sister, but he also saw something in it.

"Yu Liang is really persistent. My elder sister obviously remembers him."

I didn't ask too much about the two of them, just stopped for now.

"I'll find a husband for you one day and marry you off. You're the only one who irritates me at home every day." The mother scolded the second sister with a smile, but she was reluctant in her heart.

Although Yang Yumei may occasionally be offensive to others, she is also very likable. I really don't want her to get married off early.

"Then you better look carefully for me, mother. Don't let her marry someone from a bad family. If she does, I'll beat her up."

"It's okay, second sister. I'm here. It won't be your turn to do it then." Yang Jun joined in the fun.

In fact, even if he really found such a family, he would never agree to the marriage.

"Xiaoshan, my love for you is not in vain." Yang Yumei smiled.

The eldest sister's incident was over as a joke, but several people had a clue about it in their hearts, so if something really happens in the future, they will be more mentally prepared.

Yang Jun officially moved into the new house and quickly adapted to it.

Since it wasn't a full move, there was no need to mobilize a large number of people, let alone invite everyone to join in the fun, so it was just a peaceful occasion.

This way, it would be much more convenient for Cheng Xiaoyu to come and find Yang Jun, and she wouldn't have to disturb my mother and the others.

On this day, the weather was unusually clear and the frost had receded a lot.

And someone knocked on the door outside Yang's house early in the morning.

"Who is it, so early in the morning?"

The eldest sister has gone back to work, and the second sister got up early in the morning to feed the chickens. Yes, there is another chicken at home, which is kept in the backyard so that no one can see it.

This is what my mother brought back from the next village yesterday. She said eggs are essential.

Since Yang Jun brought back a lot of rice, she also wanted to exchange it for more cornmeal, but she had to go into the city to do that.

"Sister, let me take a look."

Yang Jun also stood up and walked towards the door.

In the previous house, people could see what was going on in the yard at a glance, but now it is much better. It is surrounded by corn stalks and used as a wall.

By the next year, he planned to put up some fence.

After opening the door, I unexpectedly found it was Uncle Fan.

"Third uncle, what are you doing?"

Yang Jun was a little confused.

Fan Yuanlin looked weathered and frosted, and it seemed that he had been out for a while, and had gone quite far.

He has a bit of a scruffy beard, but he's in good spirits.

At this moment, he said cheerfully: "I just happened to be looking for you. I went into the city to find a way for Zhao Yuan and Zhao Jin."

"What's the result?" Yang Jun was a little curious. It seemed like there was news, but he was wondering why his third uncle came to tell him this.

"I found a temporary job and asked Zhaoyuan and Zhaojin to help carry things at the textile factory so they could earn some money." "Then a girl there heard I was from Fanjiazhuang and asked me to help deliver a letter to you."

As he spoke, Uncle Fan carefully took out a letter from his arms.

Yang Jun knew it was written by Jiang Xueying just by looking at the handwriting.

But then again, who else would write a letter to himself except her?

"Thank you for your help, Uncle San." So that was the matter. He was a little amused.

"No big deal. The girl's mother will still be in charge of my two kids. It's a good thing for her to help with some work."

Then Uncle Fan couldn't help but ask curiously, "Xiaoshan, who is that girl and you?"

"She's just a classmate. Xiaoyuer also knows her. Maybe she has some questions about her studies that she wants to ask me, so she seems so serious." Yang Jun shook his head.

Hearing him say that Xiaoyuer also knew the girl, Uncle San nodded immediately.

Seeing him about to leave, Yang Jun quickly added, "By the way, I'd also like to congratulate Brother Yuan and Brother Jin for finding work. You don't have to worry too much about them in the future."

Although it is just a temporary moving job, it is much better than other jobs. As long as there is work, there is income, which is very important for supplementing the family.

Uncle San couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. He bared his teeth and said, "Those two brats are lucky to have met a good person."

After Fan Yuanlin left, Yang Jun turned around and went back to the house. Unexpectedly, he saw his second sister standing not far away, looking at him with a smile on her face.

"Xiaoshan, who is that girl Uncle San was talking about just now? Do you have a lover outside?"

She seemed to suddenly understand and said, "No wonder I said you were going to the city every few days. So you were looking for a girl."

"Tell me quickly, how is she compared to Xiaoyuer? What do you want to say to Xiaoyuer?"

Women take gossip much more seriously than men.

Seeing his second sister chattering incessantly, Yang Jun felt a little headache.

He put the letter away, pursed his lips and said, "Second sister, I'm still a child, don't tell me nonsense, I'm going to read."

Speaking of reading, Yang Yumei stopped when she was about to follow him into the house.

My mother had already said that Yang Jun was not allowed to be disturbed when he was reading, so she couldn't continue. She could only stomp her feet and go back to feed the chickens.

I didn't even realize that the bran in my hand had spilled.

Yang Jun didn't think much about it, closed the door, sat at the desk and opened the letter.

There was a familiar beginning inside.

"Mr. Yang Jun, it's nice to see you in person.

It has been dozens of days since we last met. I wonder if you have returned home well?

......"

These words express greetings and thoughts of not having seen each other for a long time.

As always, her words were interspersed with descriptions of the things around her, and she put her every word and action into the text, making people feel as if they were there and experiencing what she was feeling at the time.

Yang Junqi just likes this kind of relaxed and carefree description. The identity of the two as pen pals stems from the fact that they have some common understanding.

It had indeed been a long time since they last saw each other, and Jiang Xueying invited him to go to the city for a while at the end of the letter.

After thinking about it, Yang Jun felt that it was time for him to go there.

The new year is almost here. He planned to go to the city on the day of the Gregorian New Year to replenish food for Mr. Hu. Maybe the old man has already provided his own food to the two brothers of the Mi family, so they must not go hungry.

The same goes for Captain Yan.

Yang Jun trained himself in martial arts day and night, and always had to show his results to his master.
