Age: My Small World

Chapter 240 The Big Pot Starts Again
"Mom, where are you going?"

As soon as Yang Jun entered the door, he saw Li Xiaohua about to go out.

When I saw my son come back, my eyes instantly turned red.

"Xiaoshan, why did you take so long to come back? I was so worried about you."

Li Xiaohua ran over, hugged him tightly, and was reluctant to let go.

Yang Jun didn't struggle and let his mother vent her emotions.

"Mom, I'm back. It's okay."

"It's okay. If you don't come back soon, I will have to go look for you."

At this time, the second sister rolled her eyes and stepped out of the door. She also heard the noise.

"We originally thought you were just going to stay in the provincial capital for a couple of days, but who knew it would be seven or eight days in a flash? Mom was so worried."

As she spoke, there was some fear in Yang Yumei's eyes, fearing that something had really happened to her younger brother.

She continued to explain, "On the fourth day, I couldn't help but go to the village entrance to see if you had returned. This happened every day."

"I was nagging you last night. If you didn't come back today, I was going to ask Uncle Seven about your situation."

After hearing this, Yang Jun was silent for a long time, and finally just nodded silently.

"I will definitely take good care of myself when I'm away from home, so don't worry."

Li Xiaohua also let go of her hand at this time, looked up at Yang Jun, and felt relieved when she saw that he was basically fine.

Then he glared at his second sister and said, "You're the only one who can keep talking."

Yang Yumei was not afraid at all, instead she stuck out her tongue at me.

Then he laughed and said, "Mom, if Xiaoshan hadn't told me not to reveal his information, I would have thought you would have gone to the provincial capital to look for him. Fortunately, you didn't go, otherwise we would have been the ones looking for you now."

Her words were what Yang Jun had instructed her to do. He himself was not sure when he would go out, so he naturally had to take precautions and ask her not to reveal any information about him, which would restrict Li Xiaohua's way of finding him.

Yang Jun himself was not worried about his safety, but if his family came into the city, it would be difficult to take care of them, especially if they went their separate ways.

"Mom, I won't do this again next time. I will definitely agree on a time in advance so you don't worry."

He just said this and Li Xiaohua nodded: "Baby, you are sensible. I am not worried. I am just worried about your safety. I will definitely not disturb you."

"Mom, there's no such thing as disturbing or not disturbing me. It's just that I'm going to the provincial capital for some special business, so I have to keep it a secret. Just don't let anyone know."

His family members were not afraid of the fact that they went to the dark market being exposed, but the problem with his shipment must not be made known to the public, as it would not withstand scrutiny.

Yang Jun actually wanted to let go of Zhang Hu.

Even if he doesn't know his real name or other information, the fact that he can recognize himself is quite dangerous.

Yang Jun didn't blame Mr. Hu for bringing him to meet the boss of the dark market. His master just wanted to give him everything he could.

Perhaps in Mr. Hu's view, he will not live for many years, so trying to teach Yang Jun more now and give him more help may help Yang Jun avoid some detours. It is all out of kindness.

Besides, knowing Zhang Biao and Zhang Hu is not necessarily a bad thing.

"Okay, let's go inside and talk about this. It's not convenient for us to talk about this outside."

Yang Jun said this and went into the house with the two of them.

Li Xiaohua was now her old self again, happily sitting by the stove and knitting.

Yang Yumei asked him curiously what he was doing in the provincial capital, as things at the newspaper office wouldn't be so mysterious.

So Yang Jun briefly talked about Mr. Hu's affairs, naturally glancing over the danger.

"So it's because of Mr. Hu that you stayed in the provincial capital for so long, Xiaoshan. That's nothing. We should respect our teachers and help others."

There was also a hint of understanding on my face.

Skipping over this matter, Yang Jun asked about the issue of the "big pot meal" system. In his opinion, it was actually quite difficult to restart the "big pot meal" system, mainly because of the food shortage.

"Mom, did the higher-ups really give us so much food?"

"That's what your seventh uncle said. I don't know if it's true or not."

Li Xiaohua shook her head.

"But your seventh uncle wouldn't lie to us. There should be enough food, right?" Since Yang Jun was suspicious, Li Xiaohua also became a little uncertain.

Yang Jun sighed and said, "Regardless of whether there is enough food this time, it will be difficult to recreate the communal dining system. Some people like to eat communal dining, while others are used to cooking at home. It will be difficult to get together again."

In fact, he was more worried about the weather this year.

Although the weather is gradually returning to normal from now on, and even better than the second half of last year, large-scale water shortages will occur starting from March and April.

By June and July, the grain harvest will be severely affected.

By the end of the year, it is possible that the autumn harvest will fail or even be completely harvested.

However, this is just the beginning.

"Let's see what your seventh uncle means first. If you really want to cook together, we'll hand over the grain. If we don't eat together, we won't lose anything."

Li Xiaohua did not blindly follow the instructions, but gave it some thought.

"Mom, we will all listen to you." Yang Jun nodded in agreement.

Then he took out the bag he brought back and opened it.

"I brought some things back for you all, it's a good time to take a look."

He bought a new set of clothes and shoes for everyone in the family to wear in spring and summer.

The cotton-padded clothes are about to be taken off, so naturally new clothes are needed to replace them.

Just as my mother had sewed it, it was the lining shirt for Yang Jun to wear in spring. The fabric was not of good quality, but it was not afraid of being scrubbed and could still be worn for a long time.

"so much."

My body feels a little stiff looking at so many things. How much do they cost?

She didn't know what to say for a moment. Was she calling her son a spendthrift? But this was his own money.

Of course, in the eyes of the villagers, Yang Jun's behavior was a waste of money.

In addition to clothes and shoes, there are snacks, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and other household necessities.

"Xiaoshan, you're carrying so many things back from the provincial capital. Aren't you tired? I'll go with you to carry the things next time."

The second sister was holding a bottle in both hands and was reluctant to let go while speaking.

When my mother heard this, she immediately said angrily, "What are you talking about? Don't think I don't know that you want to go out too."

"I'm telling you, you can get married in the future, but don't move far away. Going to the provincial capital would be a real hardship for you. You wouldn't be able to tell your family if you were bullied."

It turned out that my second sister was still quite longing for the provincial capital and wanted to go and take a look.

Yang Jun felt a little helpless. It was really not easy for him to take Yang Yumei with him when he went to the provincial capital.

Especially after being stopped on the road last time, I gave up this idea.

If an accident really happens, it will be too late for him to regret.

So Yang Jun shook his head and said, "Second sister, let's talk about it next time we have a chance."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "When our family becomes city dwellers, we won't have to worry about not having the opportunity to go to the provincial capital more often."
