Age: My Small World

Chapter 267

In June, the sky became drier.

"Xiaoshan, is the situation really as serious as you said?"

That day, when Uncle Seven heard what Yang Jun said in the newspaper, he was quite hesitant for a moment.

"Uncle Qi, I'm not talking nonsense. Look at what's written in the newspapers. They're digging water sources, building canals, building water cellars, and digging wells. In short, they're doing everything they can to fight the drought and resolutely fight for food."

In fact, the newspaper he saw was published on the 21st of last month, but it took a long time before it could be bought in the county town, so the news was a bit delayed.

"Well, we've all dug water cellars, so we should be able to get through this, right? The village river isn't dry, and there's a well..."

Yang Jun shook his head, his expression somewhat serious.

"Uncle Qi, I've actually been observing the flow of the river in the village these past few days. I've discovered that half the water has disappeared compared to before. The riverbed has even been exposed in some places, and the river downstream has even become a trickle. I'm afraid the river will dry up in less than a month."

"By then, everyone will be relying on the wells. How long can they last?"

That well is really amazing. After so long, the water is still flowing.

Although it has decreased a little, it has not disappeared as quickly as the river water.

"Well, what should we do?"

Uncle Fan was also a little troubled for a moment.

"Let's build a simple reservoir." This was the suggestion made by Yang Jun.

The water cellar doesn't store much water and is quite troublesome to use.

Reservoirs are different. They are a way of storing water similar to natural lakes. As long as the space is large enough, it can hold any amount of water.

Of course, with such a small population in a village, the construction can’t be very big.

"This project is huge, and I'm afraid we won't be able to spare any manpower for a while."

Although Uncle Qi was also worried about the drought, he was not yet desperate, so he was a little hesitant.

Yang Jun didn't force it. He just felt uneasy, so he gave him a reminder. No matter how much more he said, he couldn't do anything.

"Uncle Qi, I'll come over when I have time. You can take a look first today."

"Well, Xiaoshan, slow down."

I groped my way home in the dark, and saw a small figure standing at the door under the moonlight.

"Brother Xiaoshan." Xiaoyuer lowered his voice like a thief.

"Why don't you go into the house now that you're here?" Yang Jun pinched her cheek and said with a smile.

"I just want to wait for you here."

It seemed as if the darkness gave her courage, and Cheng Xiaoyu threw herself into his arms and couldn't get up.

Yang Jun patted her back and asked in confusion, "You haven't even entered the house, how do you know I'm not home?"

"Hey, I saw you go to Uncle Seven's house."

The little girl raised her head and smiled.

"Then why are you still waiting here? You don't even know how long it will take me to come back. You're such a fool."

He tapped her forehead, causing the girl to wrinkle her nose slightly.

"I promised to come over and give you a massage."

For the past month, after class every day, Yang Jun either helped with housework or helped Cheng Xiaoyu fetch water and chop firewood, so she returned the favor by giving him a massage to relax him in the evening.

The little girl is very brave and is not afraid of being alone with a man and a woman in the same room.

"Okay, come in."

There was no light on in the room behind me, so I guess my mother and second sister were asleep too.

Just like in ancient times, when there are no entertainment activities, people always go to bed early.

Yang Jun is more adapted to the life of a night owl and usually goes to bed after ten o'clock.

The two walked towards Yang Jun's room without worrying about affecting the other side.

He opened the door and went in, then lit the oil lamp inside.

It wasn't as bright as an electric light, but it still made the whole room much brighter. "Come sit down, let's just chat for a while, no need to pinch."

Yang Jun patted the kang beside him.

The little girl didn't hesitate and just took off her shoes and climbed up.

The layout of his room was very different from that of an ordinary villager's home.

The quilts are neatly folded. Apart from the kang, there is only a table and a stool. There are some newspapers and books on the table. I can review my homework here when I come back every day.

There was also a faint floral scent in the air, which he had specially made from the flowers in the small world. It was the pure scent of petals, which he had made when he was bored in his spare time.

"Brother Xiaoshan, I always think your room smells nice."

The girl looked at the simple house and felt refreshed.

Everyone always feels more comfortable when they see a tidy place.

"Haha, next time I'll get you some perfume or something so you can feel it too."

"perfume?"

The little girl had never heard of this thing, but that didn't stop her from understanding it. It should be the same as a sachet or something like that.

The two chatted and didn't notice the passage of time for a while.

Many ordinary words spoken by the other person can also be very interesting to listen to.

Moreover, Xiao Yuer also learned to gossip and told him everything that happened in the village in detail.

At around ten o'clock, Yang Jun hurriedly sent her home. Nothing happened that night.

The next day.

As soon as I arrived at school, Wei Ran came to me with a raised eyebrow.

"What's going on? You said you'd come to make up for the lessons, but you're nowhere to be seen every day."

Yang Jun quickly told her about his busy schedule during this period. Wei Ran couldn't help but sigh when she heard it, and then she understood him.

"So, it's even harder for children in the village to go out. Even you have to be so busy, let alone others who have time to study."

She knew Yang Jun's abilities.

Yang Jun really wanted to tell her that she had misunderstood. If he hadn't wanted to take advantage of his time helping out at home to help Xiao Yuer with the work, this wouldn't have happened.

"Teacher, I have nothing to do today, so I'll come over to make up for the lesson tonight."

The busy farming season is over, and the next one will have to wait until August, so Yang Jun has a lot of free time.

Of course, due to the weather, you may have to fetch water every few days.

Wei Ran raised an eyebrow: "That's a deal."

"Of course, I'm sorry to bother you."

She raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and gently gathered the hair beside her ear with her bare hands and said, "I am a teacher. How can I trouble you by giving you extra lessons?"

Wei Ran’s class didn’t start until the second period, so she went back to the office.

Somehow, Yang Jun always felt that her steps as she returned were a little lighter.

Soon it was afternoon and school was over.

After agreeing with Xiao Yuer that he would go to cram school, he went to Wei Ran's house alone.

As for Xiao Yuer, he went home with Yu Li and a few others.

Yang Jun can go to cram school with peace of mind, while Xiao Yuer has to rush back to help at home and has no time to rest.

Just as he reached the next intersection, he suddenly stopped.

"Teacher, why are you still here?"

Wei Ran's figure was standing in front of Yang Jun.

"I can't walk fast, so I must still be here." Wei Ran rolled his eyes.

At this moment, she did not button up her clothes like she did at school, but revealed the tight lining underneath, and her rather delicate figure appeared in Yang Jun's eyes.
