Age: My Small World

Chapter 360

In the golden autumn of September, the weather gradually turns cooler.

That day, before Yang Jun could try his luck in looking for clues, he was stopped by squad leader Xu Yan.

"Student Yang Jun, this week it's our class's turn to take care of the self-help area, don't forget it."

It turned out to be a matter of self-rescue. If Xu Yan hadn't mentioned it, Yang Jun would have really forgotten it.

Due to natural disasters in the past two years, countless food production has been reduced, forcing some schools to reclaim part of the campus land for self-sufficiency, also known as self-help land.

This kind of self-rescue area will last for several years, and it will not fade even after two years, because no one knows when an unprecedented natural disaster will come again.

You should know that during disasters, countless students had to go to class on an empty stomach, and schools even specifically let students experience a half-hungry and half-full state to cope with the lack of food.

Some students were so hungry that they even dropped out of school and went home just to have a bite to eat.

After evening self-study, most people start to feel hungry, but there is nothing to eat. So some people drink water mixed with soy sauce, mainly to fill their stomachs. Since they can't drink water alone, adding some soy sauce at least gives it some flavor.

Although Yang Jun had never experienced such a state of hunger, he had seen it and even saw with his own eyes that some people had started to eat dirt.

Therefore, the importance of the self-help area is self-evident. In Jingcheng University, everyone takes turns to take care of this self-help area, one class per week.

"Got it. I'll be with you all."

After the military training in the evening, everyone gathered and walked to the other side of the school.

There is quite a lot of self-help land, about twenty acres in total, which occupies a considerable area, but for Capital University, it is just a small area.

Of the twenty acres of land, most are planted with corn and sweet potatoes. After all, these two crops are the most suitable for growth and produce abundant fruits.

However, the corn was harvested not long ago, so the wheat planted in the field is new and will not be harvested until the winter months.

The sweet potatoes can be harvested in a month or two.

"Everyone's job is to weed, but be sure not to hoe the wheat."

Xu Yan took the lead diligently and responsibly, and had all the tools at her disposal.

There are twenty-six people in the class, and they are all present.

Unfortunately, most of them are girls. When you turn around, you see girls everywhere.

"Yang Jun, you've been out a lot these past few days. Is there really something going on?"

While he was working, Wang Chong came over and said.

Although he likes to show off, he is still a good person. At least he doesn't despise or look down on anyone.

"You guys should hurry up too, since you are close at hand, you get the moon first." Yang Jun nodded at the group of girls.

Wang Chong immediately said with disdain, "Forget it. There's nothing interesting to see in our class."

Yang Jun was a little shocked.

There are twenty girls, although not all of them are very beautiful, but at least I can pick out a few who are decent looking.

For example, the average appearance of the girls in Xu Yan's dormitory is pretty good, above the standard, but Wang Chong doesn't like it. His requirements are really high.

He smacked his lips and wondered if there was something wrong with his eyes.

Yes, now people prefer round faces.

If someone like Yu Li went to Beijing University, she would definitely be regarded as the school belle.

It's quite relaxing to chat and work at the same time.

The girls were actually even more skilled and skillful at work than the boys, using the hoes with remarkable skill. Nowadays, there's practically no one who doesn't work in the fields. Every year, students are required to go to the countryside to participate in the "Up to the Mountains and Down to the Countryside" campaign, and receiving guidance and education from the poor and lower-middle peasants is a necessary step.

While they were talking about girls, the girls were actually talking about them.

There were not many boys in the class to begin with, and some of them got married early and had children before going to college, so the few remaining boys became even fewer.

"Xu Yan, Yang Jun and the others are looking at you again. If you ask me, he must be interested in you."

A girl in the same dormitory said this to Xu Yan as if jokingly.

Xu Yan, who originally didn't take it seriously, couldn't help but look up at something not far away, then curled her lips and said, "Wang Siyun, stop talking nonsense."

"What? You still dislike him? I think Yang Jun is quite good. He's handsome and well-mannered."

Wang Siyun took another look at Yang Jun's figure, her cheeks slightly red.

"I'm warning you, you can't secretly date someone without passing the organization's test." Xu Yan was actually quite disgusted with everyone joking about this kind of thing, but she couldn't stop them from talking about it.

"I'm just thinking about it. He probably won't like me." Wang Siyun touched his stiff face and sighed.

She was originally quite short and skinny, so it would be strange if boys were interested in her, so she didn't expect anything.

Xu Yan couldn't stand her belittling herself like this and couldn't help but say, "Wang Siyun, you should have some confidence in yourself. We went through so much trouble to get into Jingcheng University, which means we are already much better than countless other students."

"If you want to get married, all the men in your neighborhood will be lining up for you to choose."

Their status as college students is very attractive, and it also means that they will be assigned to a good unit in the future and basically have the status of a cadre.

Who wouldn’t want such a leap forward?
So, it is true that girls from Beijing University are very popular.

"Well, I know, but would you really choose a husband with whom you have nothing in common? I don't want to live in silence for the next few decades, so it's important to find someone I like."

Xu Yan was silent for a moment and admitted that what she said was true.

If she really had to marry a boy she didn't know and had barely spoken to, she couldn't do it.

"Let's get to work and stop getting distracted."

She had to change the subject like this.

Due to time constraints, everyone had to stop working after an hour.

It was already dark, and it wasn't suitable to farm like this.

Yang Jun's daily visits to Jiang Xueying and Cheng Xiaoyu were forced to stop, and this continued for the next few days.

It wasn't until the new class took over the self-help area that everyone resumed their previous routine.

"It's finally over. I've been so tired these past few days." Wang Chong sat on the bed with a Ge You-like expression, not wanting to get up for a moment.

It is indeed tiring, with military training and hard work, even the strongest person can't stand it.

"That's still considered good. I heard there are students who just arrived at school and had to go to the countryside with everyone else to do production. When they came back, they were all very dark-skinned."

Lego took over.

Because of his kind nature, he was quite popular in the class, at least much better than Yang Jun and Wang Chong.

"I guess we will also go to the countryside. The only difference is the region. So don't take it lightly."

Yang Jun predicted.
