Age: My Small World

Chapter 186 One Year of Military Training

"Ah? Military training takes a whole year."

Jiang Xueying was a little dumbfounded.

She knew college would be different, but this was too different.

Yang Jun vaguely remembered something. It seemed that this project would not be changed until a few years later. Now was a time when everyone was a soldier, so it was understandable.

"Anyway, there is not much difference between us and formal soldiers now. It's just that the military camp has been turned into a school." Zhao Yiqing shrugged, but he didn't seem dissatisfied.

It is our duty to contribute to the country.

"But it will be fine next year, then I can officially start studying."

"So what's your university like?"

Jiang Xueying asked curiously again.

"Well...actually, the school is a little more spacious, the classrooms are bigger, there are more teachers, the students are more energetic, and there are more people with common goals. We can work together and move towards a new society together."

As Zhao Yiqing spoke, he raised his hand, as if he had returned to that difficult period, determined to fight for the people.

Perhaps, everyone’s goal is still the same now. Restoring the mountains and rivers is just the beginning, and restoring their glory is the further goal.

"The school is bigger and there are more teachers..." Jiang Xueying murmured with longing.

Even just a simple sentence made her begin to imagine what such a campus would be like.

"Yang Jun, which school do you think we can go to in the future?"

Zhao Yiqing took over her words and said, "Why don't you come to Lu Province University? I can take care of you then."

Although she didn't know how Yang Jun's grades were, she was clear about Jiang Xueying's academic performance. If nothing unexpected happened, it was not impossible for her to go to university in Shandong Province.

"Fortunately, Xiaoxue, your leg has healed. I originally said that I would carry you to school on my back when the time comes. You don't need your aunt to take care of you. I can do it."

Zhao Yiqing patted his slender body, and a bit more heroic spirit appeared in his eyes.

There is always no shortage of righteous people in Lu Province, but today a female version of Lu Zhijie appeared, full of heroic spirit.

Yang Jun saw another side of this senior sister, which was not bad.

When Jiang Xueying heard her repeatedly mentioning that she had betrayed herself, her eyes suddenly flickered in the moonlight. She glanced at Yang Jun stealthily, but found that he just smiled.

Somehow, the girl felt a little angry and couldn't help but snort.

"Xiaoxue, can't I carry you on my back?" Zhao Yiqing thought Xiaoxue was humming to him.

"Ahem, that's definitely not possible. My legs are healed now."

As she said that, she glanced at Yang Jun again. It was all because of him that she was able to get better.

"That's because you forgot that I carried you on my back when you were little. You were so happy back then. Now that you've grown up, you don't want me to carry you anymore."

Zhao Yiqing started playing around, and he and Jiang Xueying scratched each other in the moonlight, which was quite pleasing to the eye.

Yang Jun was holding a pile of books, his eyes looking away.

"Alright, Sister Xiaoqing, I won't argue with you anymore. It's too late. We have to go back and copy the books."

Zhao Yiqing stopped teasing him after hearing this and waved his hand, saying, "Be careful on the road."

"Sister Xiaoqing, I'll come see you tomorrow."

"Know it."

Yang Jun thanked Zhao Yiqing before leaving.

Both of them understood that the reason why Jiang Xueying came to look for someone so late today was because of him.

There was no conversation along the way, and the girl seemed to have no idea what to say.

Ten minutes later, when they reached her doorstep, she said, "What are you going to do tonight? Why don't you stay at my house for the night?"

She said this with her hands clenched, feeling a little nervous.

"It's just right that we can copy books together in the evening. It's still early now."

Yang Jun looked at the waning moon in the sky and shook his head. "It's not good for my eyes to copy books by lamplight so late at night. I'd better come back tomorrow."

"Don't worry, I have a place to sleep tonight."

Jiang Xueying knew that Yang Jun was mysterious, so she didn't doubt his words and could only nod.

"Okay then." But a trace of disappointment inexplicably flashed through her heart, and she didn't know what she was disappointed about.

Without intending to go in and bother Chen Huiling, Yang Jun said goodbye at the door.

Jiang Xueying watched him go away.

Zhongqiao Lane.

Wei Ran had not rested yet. He was carefully mending something in the dark. Upon closer inspection, it was a pair of gloves.

"The weather in Fei County is getting colder and colder. It's so far south of the capital, but it's actually colder than the capital."

Muttering, she suddenly sneezed.

"Ah Qing!"

I rubbed my nose gently, and it instantly turned a little red.

"Dong dong!"

At this moment, a familiar knock on the door sounded.

"At this pace, why does it seem like that guy is coming?"

Yang Jun knocked on the door rhythmically, not randomly.

Wei Ran stuck his head to the window and took a look, almost rolling his eyes.

"What time is it?"

Despite this, she still stood up and walked towards the gate.

She didn't open it immediately, but cautiously looked at the person outside through the small hole. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.

"Crench."

The two looked at each other, both speechless.

"Teacher, what's with that look in your eyes?"

Yang Jun seemed to be less and less of an outsider. He turned around to help her close the door and then led the way forward, a typical example of the guest taking the lead.

Wei Ran laughed and said, "Yang Jun, you came to my place so late at night. Did someone kick you out?"

She knew that Yang Jun had few relatives in the city, and kicking him out was pure joke.

Yang Jun didn't take it seriously. After entering the room, he sat on the stool in front of the kang and stretched his hands to the stove to warm them before saying, "That can't be done. I'm just staying here to borrow your textbooks. It's not easy to copy them at night."

Once the conversation got down to business, Wei Ran stopped joking.

She was surprised and said, "Why don't you come to borrow a book from me? I have one."

"Ah?" This time it was Yang Jun's turn to be dumbfounded.

He really didn't expect Wei Ran. After all, when Wei Ran came, he could see clearly what luggage he had. Except for some private clothes, he had seen everything else.

No, I've seen something like that before.

"You really do?"

"Yes, I do. I just need to write a letter to the capital and have someone send it to me."

Yang Jun curled his lips: "That's almost the same as nothing. This is too troublesome."

"What's the trouble? It's a good thing you want to use the textbook."

"But you can study on your own, but don't neglect your foreign language. If it's too different from your other subjects, you'll be in big trouble."

Wei Ran threatened.

She always put a lot of effort into tutoring Yang Jun. If Yang Jun's grades were too bad, she would not only feel that her efforts were wasted, but would also be completely disappointed.

"Don't believe me? Why don't you try to see if I study hard at home?"

Yang Jun doesn't mind showing off his skills.

He could review other subjects, but he really started learning foreign languages from scratch, very seriously.

Half of my study time in the evening is spent memorizing foreign languages, but I don’t slack off.

"That's great, that's exactly what I was thinking." Wei Ran didn't hesitate, grabbed a textbook and started examining it.
