Age: My Small World

Chapter 340 Beijing Department Store
Since the Sports University is relatively remote, you have to walk quite a distance to get to the department store.

Yang Jun couldn't take out his bicycle openly, so he had to take Cheng Xiaoyu on the bus.

By the way, he had gone to Zhang Hu to find a way to get the bicycles. There were three bicycles in total, and he had originally planned to give one to each person.

Cheng Xiaoyu, Jiang Xueying, and Wei Ran.

Thinking of Wei Ran, Yang Jun couldn't help but want to contact her. He didn't know if his mother's illness had recovered after she came back to the provincial capital for so long.

As for the courses in the school, two new teachers were quickly transferred in after Wei Ran left, so there was no need to rush.

In the past few years, teacher resources were relatively tight. Now, with hundreds of thousands of high school and college graduates, they can barely ease the teacher quota in urban and rural areas. As for villages and more remote western regions, they are quite scarce. Therefore, even decades later, volunteers going to the west are still indispensable and are an important force in building western cities.

If Yang Jun didn't have a large family to take care of, he might have gone there to contribute a little of his own strength.

There is no clear sign for the bus stop, only a sign standing there. There are a few young men and women waiting there, who must be students here.

When the bus arrived at the station, you could see that the body of the bus was quite clean, and it seemed that it had just been put into use.

Skoda 760, it took almost forty years for this thing to be eliminated, and it can be said to be a memory passed down from generation to generation for many Beijingers.

Once you get on the bus, there will be a special ticket seller to collect the money, and the driver will drive his own car.

After paying a total of ten cents for the ticket, Yang Jun took Cheng Xiaoyu to sit in the back seat.

The fare is five cents for any ride. For short distances, it can be charged two cents per stop. Some people only ride one or two stops, so the fee will be charged according to this standard.

The car was just shipped not long ago, so there were not many people in it and it was very spacious.

Cheng Xiaoyu was a little nervous. It was her first time taking a bus and it felt like a new experience. It was different from both a coach and a car.

"Brother Xiaoshan, is this ride only five cents?"

She compared the train fares and felt it was a lot cheaper.

Yang Jun explained the bus rules to her in detail.

Then the little girl quickly smacked her lips.

"If that's the case, each ride would cost five cents, and if you take it every day, that would cost you more than ten to twenty dollars a year."

As the number of people on the bus grew, Yang Jun felt it was difficult to get close to her. He could only smile and say, "It's more than that. Some people take the bus both ways to work, and sometimes they have to get off to buy groceries. They probably take the bus thousands of times a year."

Cheng Xiaoyu stuck out her tongue and was even more shocked when she heard this.

"Wouldn't that cost the workers dozens of dollars just for the fare? Would they be willing to do that?"

Yang Jun shook his head. "How could they possibly be willing to do that? That's why the factory usually increases subsidies for this purpose and gives workers monthly bus passes at three yuan a month. This way, they can save a lot of unnecessary expenses."

"So that's how it is, Brother Xiaoshan, you really know a lot."

Cheng Xiaoyu wanted to hug his hand, but when she saw the gazes of the old men and women in front of her, she had to hold back.

The bus has now arrived at a busy area. Many people have gotten on the bus. They are all crowded together and look sweaty. If it were in June or July, they would probably be exhausted when getting off the bus.

Yang Jun shook his head. It seemed that he had to find a reason to buy a car. Riding a bicycle was always better than walking.

If he could buy a car, he would really want to drive.

As the ticket seller sounded the alarm, the car stopped at Wangfujing Street.

"Brother Xiaoshan, this mall is so beautiful."

Beijing Department Store is one of the four major department stores in Beijing and also the department store with the most comprehensive range of goods in the country.

As soon as he got off the car, Cheng Xiaoyu couldn't help but sigh in amazement at the Western-style buildings.

Since arriving in the capital, everything has been new to her. In fact, when she was in the provincial capital, she was already overwhelmed by the sights, but who knew that the capital would be even more exciting than the provincial capital.

After leaving a small village, her horizons finally broadened.

Of course, even after seeing the vastness of the world and the beauty of the city, the little girl still liked to stay close to Yang Jun, always feeling that this was the only way to feel at ease.

"There are many more interesting places in the capital. I'll take you there later."

As Yang Jun spoke, he took her one after another into this department store which had only been open for six years.

As soon as I entered, the huge crowds of people were terrifying.

Even though there were quite a lot of people before entering, I didn't expect there to be even more people on a regular basis.

It is the beginning of September now and everyone is preparing things for the Mid-Autumn Festival, so there are more people shopping in department stores.

Coupled with the continuous influx of students, it naturally creates a lively scene.

"Brother Xiaoshan, there are so many people."

At some point, the little girl reached out and grabbed a corner of Yang Jun's coat, and the little tail appeared again.

"Don't be afraid, just follow me."

Yang Jun let her pull him and went upstairs.

"There are too many people on the first floor. Let's go to the second floor."

As they walked, Yang Jun asked, "By the way, Xiaoyu'er, how many quilts did you and Xiaoxue bring? And how many sets of clothes did you bring?"

When he said this, Cheng Xiaoyu understood his intention and immediately shook her head and said, "Brother Xiaoshan, I have enough quilts and clothes."

"Classmate Jiang Xueying only brought one set of quilts, and probably four sets of clothes."

It seems that she is quite familiar with Jiang Xueying's belongings. After all, the two of them are not enemies. They just dislike each other occasionally, but most of the time they can live in peace.

Yang Jun just nodded without saying much.

For Xiao Yuer, he just needs to do the job and then notify her. The little girl can't refuse him anyway.

When he arrived at the place where quilts were sold, Yang Jun immediately bought four quilts.

He didn't bring anything with him, so he had to have this thing.

The winter in Beijing is extremely cold. If you don’t have a stove in the dormitory, you can only hide in the quilt to keep warm.

Fortunately, Beijing University provides students with a certain amount of coal every year, allowing them to burn coal for heating.

This is quite warm, but if you forget to open the window at night, it is easy to send students away.

It's really terrible to live in the north without floor heating.

Taking into account the physical conditions of the two girls, he specially bought the thickest cotton quilts for them to use as mattresses. This way they would be comfortable and warm, so they wouldn't be too cold in winter.

Cheng Xiaoyu naturally wanted to say something, but when she saw Yang Jun's eyes that did not allow for rejection, she shut her mouth obediently.

"what?"

At this moment, Yang Jun suddenly caught sight of a figure and was immediately startled. When he looked over again, the figure happened to be looking at him.

"It's you!"
