Age: My Small World

Chapter 36 Borrowing a Car
Every household is destined to have a restless sleep tonight.

When the moon just reached the zenith, Yang Jun woke up naturally.

But it was also because he heard the sound of my mother getting up.

The kangs in the front and back rooms are separated by a wall, and there is no door, only a curtain. It would be strange if they could be soundproof.

Putting on straw sandals, Yang Jun stretched and walked towards the front room.

With the help of the Mid-Autumn moon in August, the house was filled with silver light, which just illuminated the whole family.

"Xiaoshan, you are really awake." The second sister laughed. She still wanted to tease him.

"Second sister, where is the eldest sister?" Yang Jun didn't see his eldest sister, and guessed that the noise of Yang Hongmei getting up was too quiet for him to hear.

"Sister, go ask Uncle Seven when he's leaving."

"Oh, then I'll rinse my mouth first. I'll carry the food later. You and mother, don't move."

After saying that, Yang Jun picked up the gourd ladle, scooped up some water, put some tooth powder on it, and went out to brush his teeth.

"Gululu..."

The cold water made him feel more energetic.

After I finished brushing my teeth, my elder sister happened to come back.

"Sister, how are things going? When are Uncle Seven and the others leaving?"

"It's still five o'clock in the morning. It's time to cook something before leaving, otherwise we will be out of energy." The eldest sister said with a smile.

Yang Hongmei's presence at home has never been strong, but she does the most work. Look, she went to the kitchen again.

"It's useless without a tool to check time. I don't even know what time it is." Yang Jun touched his wrist and found that the only thing he lacked was a watch.

But watches are really expensive nowadays, almost all of them cost more than one hundred yuan, and several hundred yuan is not uncommon. It would be strange if he could afford it.

Desktop clockwork alarm clocks are cheaper, but still cost a few dozen bucks, so I can only wait and see for now.

After returning to the house, I saw my mother and second sister dragging food out. Some of the food that had already dried was placed in the small house next door, and to get in, one had to go into the front room first. The rest of the food that was not completely dried was placed in the front room and dried using a small stove, and the effect was pretty good.

The reason for this is naturally to make the quality of the grain better so that it can be sold at a higher price.

"Mom, you agreed to let me do the moving." Yang Jun muttered, and walked over to take the bag weighing a hundred pounds from the two of them.

Without waiting for Li Xiaohua to say anything more.

"Hey!" Yang Jun lifted the bag with great effort, put it on his shoulder, and carried it out easily.

Behind them, Li Xiaohua and Yang Yumei, mother and daughter, looked at each other in disbelief.

Even when Xiaoshan was doing farm work not long ago, his strength was not that exaggerated. It took several people to carry the corn back home. What's going on now?

"Ouch, kid, don't shock yourself!" Li Xiaohua realized later that Yang Jun was pretending to be strong, and in fact the weight would crush a person, so she followed him out worriedly.

However, looking at Yang Jun, his relaxed demeanor in the moonlight did not seem fake.

"Mom, my strength is really getting stronger, don't worry about it."

"Oh, right, I'm going to borrow my uncle's extra cart to avoid having to do another step later."

After saying this, Yang Jun headed towards his neighbor, his third uncle's house, which was a few dozen meters away, leaving his mother behind with a mixture of surprise and joy.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Xiaohua finally accepted that her son had truly undergone a complete transformation.

"This kid has really become the head of the family." She thought with relief, and her heart couldn't help but relax.

In the past, she was the only one who carried the burden of the family. Now that she has a son to share the burden, she naturally feels that she has a supporter.

"Hey, slow down." My mother's voice came slowly, and Yang Jun just waved to the back to show his relief.

When I arrived at my third uncle's house, I found that everyone was up and had lit the lights.

Under the dim light, several people were busy in front of the small house.

"Is Third Uncle here?"

"Who is it?" a young man asked and looked over.

Yang Jun glanced at him but there was no response.

This guy is Fan Yuan, the eldest son of his third uncle. When they were young, he and his younger brother Fan Jin always bullied him, and their relationship was average.

On the other side was a shorter boy, none other than Fan Jin.

"Oh, it's Xiaoshan. What's wrong?" Fan Yuanlin recognized his voice and walked towards the light with a simple smile.

"Uncle San, I'd like to borrow your cart. Is it convenient for you?" He has an average relationship with the two boys from the Fan family, but Uncle San's personality is kind and amiable, which does not affect the friendship between the two families.

"It's convenient. What's inconvenient about it? Why should neighbors be polite to each other?" Uncle Fan laughed. He and his two sons did have quite different personalities.

"Xiaoshan, look which one you want. Both are here." Fan Yuanlin pointed to the cart in front of the door.

"Xiaoshan, why don't you come in and have something hot before going back? My meal is ready." The plump figure of Third Aunt Yao Taohua appeared and greeted him warmly.

"No, Aunt San, my mother is still waiting for me to go back. Let's do it next time." Yang Jun replied politely.

Then he randomly found a plank road and said, "This is it, Uncle San. I'll pull it over there."

"Go ahead, go ahead. You refused to eat something even when I asked you to. Really?" Uncle San sounded like he was blaming him, but he naturally meant well.

"Hehe, thank you, Uncle San."

Yang Jun pulled the cart and went straight out without saying a word to the two brothers of the Fan family from beginning to end.

"Pa!" Uncle Fan slapped his eldest son on the head, making him feel very wronged.

"You two, I told you a long time ago that Xiaoshan will definitely have a bright future. You two should play with him more. What's the result?"

Fan Yuanlin looked at his two sons with some disappointment.

"Dad, Xiaoshan just got into high school. He's not really that great. Besides, we can't play together."

"Pah!" Another slap.

"Don't think I don't know. You two fools are always bullying Xiaoshan. You don't know anything."

The two men didn't make a sound even when they were beaten.

"Oh! Forget it, forget it. I, your father, am too lazy to take care of you anymore." Uncle Fan looked at the two people who refused to change their bad behavior and simply stopped fighting.

Yang Jun naturally didn't know that his uncle had scolded his son after he left. When he came back with the cart, the smell of corn porridge in the pot had already wafted out, and it was time for dinner at home.

"Mom, the cart is coming. I'll carry the food up first."

"Xiaoshan, I'll help you. Mom, you just watch from the side." The second sister Yang Yumei looked like a boy. Although she looked thin, she had some strength.

Yang Jun did not refuse. After all, he would be able to recover after giving them some spiritual water.

"You two be careful, don't spill it." Li Xiaohua looked at the busy siblings, her eyes full of smiles.

With the efforts of a family of four, hundreds of kilograms of food were moved onto the cart, and the remaining food was placed in food boxes and piled up to be eaten slowly.

The grain frame is made of bamboo, which is extremely delicate and basically airtight. The grain will not go bad even if it is kept for a long time. Moreover, it can be taken out to dry in the sun occasionally. The only drawback is that it may be bitten by mice.
