Age: My Small World

Chapter 28 No Rejection
"Huh? I didn't realize you still had this much strength?"

Yang Jun didn't hesitate and pushed the door open and went in.

The gate of Cheng Xiaoyu's fence is almost non-existent. It is just made of some thin bamboo strips with a lot of holes. It is only used to keep out sneakers.

"Huh...Brother Xiaoshan, why...why are you here?" Cheng Xiaoyu panted and wiped his forehead with his sleeve, revealing his white teeth as he smiled.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time and you still don't come out. Can't I come in and take a look?" As he said that, Yang Jun snatched the axe from her hand.

"Stand aside and watch your brother Jun show off his might."

"Brother Xiaoshan, don't do that. You will hurt yourself." Cheng Xiaoyu was startled and wanted to stop him. But she knew that Yang Jun was weak and working had nothing to do with him.

Although she heard from the villagers some time ago that Brother Xiaoshan went to the fields to harvest corn, the impression Yang Jun had left on her was so deep that she was really worried that he would hurt himself while chopping wood.

Yang Jun ignored her and chopped the firewood with a knife.

"Click!" A crisp sound was heard, and Cheng Xiaoyu's mouth closed suddenly.

Axes are not actually very good at chopping wood, but axes are also a bit unaffordable, so most people still use axe as an axe.

Yang Jun shook his hands, and seemed to be quite used to it.

"It's a shame not to use this power."

His eyes lit up a little. Compared to his previous self, he had now completely recovered to what a normal man should be like. His strength and physique were up to standard.

"How's it going? You're really strong, aren't you, Jun?"

"Just watch from the side and don't affect my performance." Yang Jun said and continued to work.

There isn't too much firewood here, so it will probably be chopped in a few minutes.

Cheng Xiaoyu just stared blankly at the side, looking at Brother Xiaoshan who seemed like a completely different person, and suddenly felt really good.

After seven or eight minutes, a small pile of firewood was neatly stacked aside.

Yang Jun casually forked the hatchet and fixed it on the wooden block.

He turned around in a cool manner: "How is it? I'm better than you."

"Brother Xiaoshan, you..."

Before Cheng Xiaoyu could respond, the door of the house opened.

A middle-aged woman came out with the burly Cheng Aimin.

"Xiaoshan is here, why don't you come in and sit down?" Cheng's mother, Fan Ping, looked like a typical rural woman, with dark yellow skin, wrinkles, and messy hair, but her spirit and energy were somewhat different from those of ordinary women.

At least when it comes to supporting her daughter's studies, her vision is far beyond that of ordinary people.

"Aunt, I don't want to sit here anymore. I still have to go to school."

"Mom, Xiaoshan is here to talk to me about class, so I should leave now."

"Okay, then remember to bring your lunch."

Fan Ping gave an instruction.

Cheng Xiaoyu then went inside to get something, babbling.

"Xiaoshan, Xiaoyuer is grateful to you for taking care of her. She even came to help with the work today. Thank you so much for troubling her."

"Come to my house one day and I'll make you something delicious."

Yang Jun laughed at this and said, "Aunt, it's all my responsibility. In the past, it was Xiao Yuer who helped me drive away those who bullied me."

"She helps my family fetch water, and I come over to help chop firewood. It's like helping each other."

"Mom, what are you talking about?" Cheng Xiaoyu came out with a cloth bag on her back and asked curiously.

Fan Ping didn't reply to her, but smiled and said to Yang Jun:
"Haha, you are such a sincere kid. I won't delay your class."

"Mom, I want to go with my sister too." Cheng Aimin rubbed his nose.

"You are in school now. If you don't study hard today, I will slap your hands when you get home." Fan Ping was quite serious when facing her son.

Cheng Aimin just started first grade in the primary school, which was in the next village, not far away at half an hour.

"Let's go, Xiaoshan, don't let any of those tail-chasers catch up with you later."

"Mom, don't be too busy at home. Wait until I come back to do the work."

Cheng Xiaoyu waved to her mother, and the two of them headed towards school, facing the morning sun.

After leaving the village and walking through the fields, all the greenery disappeared, replaced by piles of withered corn stalks.

"Brother Xiaoshan, you're getting stronger and stronger. You couldn't even chop wood before."

On the way, Cheng Xiaoyu suddenly said, seeming to be a little emotional.

Yang Jun drew out his big sword and continued to beat the weeds with a straight stick.

"We're starting to grow up, and our strength will definitely increase. We can't always be children."

The topic of growth has always been the focus of discussion among friends.

"Yeah, we're all in high school now."

As she was sighing, a hand suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Hold out your hand." Yang Jun nodded at her.

"What?" The little girl was a little flustered. Brother Xiaoshan wanted to grab her hand?
Although she said she had grown up, she was still not able to cope with such a sudden event.

However, the next moment, an egg appeared in the palm of his hand.

"Eat it, I brought it for you."

"Eggs?" Cheng Xiaoyu's eyes widened.

"Well, hurry up and eat. You've lost so much weight that you can't even work properly. What are you going to do in the future?"

Yang Jun shook his head, looking pessimistic about her.

"This is given to you by your aunt. I can't accept it." Cheng Xiaoyu handed the egg back.

"Cheng Xiaoyu, what do you think I'm discussing with you?"

Yang Jun curled his lips and said, "If you don't want to eat it, just throw it away. I won't want it anymore anyway."

"Yang Jun, how can you be so domineering? You don't even let people refuse you!" Cheng Xiaoyu's mouth twitched.

But her eyes softened as she looked at him. She was not a fool and naturally knew that Brother Xiaoshan said that on purpose.

"Stop whining and eat quickly. It'll get cold and give you a stomachache."

Yang Jun also took out a bottle filled with some water. It was not easy to find a bottle at home.

"Hey, if you choke, drink some water."

At the same time, Cheng Xiaoyu finally peeled the egg carefully. Looking at the white egg white, she felt reluctant to eat it.

Her family really hadn't eaten eggs for a long time.

"How about you eat the yolk and I eat the white?"

Yang Jun looked at her, the egg in his hand had already been separated into white and yolk.

He just glared at the little girl without saying anything, but he scared her so much that she ate the egg in one bite.

"Cough cough!" I ate too fast and choked.

Yang Jun handed her some water and she drank it quickly.

After a while, the little girl's eyes lit up: "Brother Xiaoshan, this water is so sweet."

"It's your illusion." He just added some spiritual water and no sugar.

However, it might be that her body was too depleted, so after being replenished by the spiritual water, her mouth suddenly became salivating.

"Eggs are delicious too, they smell nice." She licked the corner of her mouth, and the smell of eggs lingered for a long time.

For some people, eggs taste fishy, but for Cheng Xiaoyu, they are a rare delicacy.

"I'll give you one tomorrow. My hens are laying eggs."

Hearing her say this, Yang Jun felt a headache. Cheng Xiaoyu was the kind of person who would return things after borrowing them. If she said it, she would definitely do it.

Well, we need to think of something.
