Age: My Small World

Chapter 473 Don’t Ask Around
"Nan Ke, I ordered a dish that's a bit spicy. You must try it later."

Gu Nanke grumbled at him when he heard this: "You only know how to play tricks on people."

But he didn't refuse.

The third dish was sea cucumber soup, followed closely by the stir-fried pork with chili peppers ordered by Yang Jun.

Because there are no fresh peppers in winter, we stir-fry them with sun-dried peppers, which look a bit dry.

Gu Nan Ke took a sip and quickly drank some water to smooth it out.

"Hi~"

"Is it spicy?"

"It's okay." She forced herself.

Yang Jun grabbed the chopsticks she was about to use to pick up food.

"I let you taste it, not finish it. It's enough for you, but the rest is not enough for me."

Gu Nanke let him act funny and didn't get angry.

"Eat more sea cucumbers to replenish your body. I'll be relying on you at home from now on."

Yang Jun picked up some sea cucumber for her, but he didn't know whether it had any health-boosting effect.

"It would be great if we could raise some in the small world, so we don't have to go around looking for seafood in the future."

Although Shandong Province is close to the sea, Fei County is on the inland side. There is no trace of the ocean at all, let alone trying seafood. Many people don’t even know what the sea is and think it is a larger river or lake.

"Know it."

It was Gu Nanke’s first time eating sea cucumber, and he didn’t know what it was, but it tasted delicious when eaten with rice.

After waiting for a long time, a cart came over.

“The roast duck has finally arrived.”

Despite the serious decline in service standards, Quanjude still maintains the tradition of the chef personally slicing duck meat for the customers.

The roast duck baked with fruit wood is very crispy, with a glossy and plump appearance and a reddish-brown color.

When the duck slices were ready, Yang Jun immediately rolled a piece for Guaiguai in a roll.

"It smells so good!" The little girl could only smell the aroma of the oil and started eating it with big mouthfuls.

Gu Nan Ke rolled a piece for Yang Jun before eating it himself.

"Mmm, this meat is so tender."

The tender duck meat does not match the crispy appearance at all.

The meal allowed the mother and daughter to enjoy authentic Beijing roast duck, which was worth it, although the price was a bit high.

Seeing Yang Jun take out more than ten yuan, Gu Nanke almost pinched his flesh.

“Xiaoshan, did we just eat so much money?”

The roast duck is only ten yuan, but with other dishes it's more than that.

For Gu Nanke, who only earns 20 yuan a month, it is almost like working for nothing to eat such a duck. How can he not feel sorry for the money?

"Don't worry about it. We don't come here to eat every day. It's nice to have a meal once in a while."

"But...but this is too expensive."

"It's expensive for a reason, but at least we enjoyed our meal."

"By the way, Xiao Xiaobai and the others won't be delivered until the day after tomorrow. Do you want to buy something for them?"

Unfortunately, Gu Nan Ke was bored with the meal and was obviously not in the mood to think about the two dogs.

"What else do they need to do? The nest you built in the yard is enough for them."

She was reluctant to let Yang Jun spend money.

"Okay, it's up to you."

There is indeed nothing missing at home.

Yang Jun had prepared everything, including seasonings, so he could make whatever he wanted to eat, including flour, rice, potatoes, cabbage, etc. in the cellar.

The three of them took the bus home again, ending their short trip.

Guaiguai was already tired and lay down to sleep as soon as he came back.

Yang Jun looked at the sun at the zenith and smiled at Gu Nanke.

The woman blushed immediately and said, "Xiaoshan, it's still daytime."

"It will become clear during the day..."

Yang Jun was just about to tease her when there was a knock on the door.

"Dong dong!"

He instantly raised a finger to mute the conversation. Gu Nanke suddenly became serious, knowing that something must have happened, and picked up a pair of tongs.

Yang Jun walked quietly to the door, first activated his mental perception, and then subconsciously moved to the gap deliberately left to look outside the door.

Then he shook his head speechlessly.

"Why is this guy here?"

It turned out that the person outside the door was his spiritual partner Sun Buyong.

No one knew where this guy lived, but he actually showed up.

Yang Jun gestured behind him, and Gu Nan Ke walked into the house carrying a pair of tongs.

"Creaky~" the door opened and Yang Jun leaned against the door.

"Brother Sun, are you looking for me?"

"Do you really live here?"

Sun glanced around the yard and clicked his tongue.

"Brother, you have a beautiful girl in your golden house. How come you are so extravagant at such a young age? I wasn't as good as you back then."

"Don't ask questions about adults' affairs, kid. Tell me what you want to talk to me about."

Yang Juncai would not tolerate his bad habit of asking questions all the time.

In fact, I guess the office will know without asking.

"I'm here for no particular reason. I just want to tell you that Li Zijun has been sentenced and sent to the Western Suburbs Farm for five years of forced labor."

"Why are you telling me about her?"

Yang Jun looked at him strangely.

Sun didn't need to turn around to be surprised and said, "She was still thinking about you at the end, and it was you who broke her last line of defense. Don't you have any connection with her?"

As he said this, he pursed his lips to indicate that there were other people inside.

Yang Jun's mouth twitched. "Can you guys be more serious? A girl's innocence is very important, okay? Even if she's just a labor camp inmate now."

"Well, it looks like I lost."

"What do you mean?"

"I made a bet with the director to see if there was any relationship between you and Li Zijun, but it turned out you didn't."

"It's really strange. You're such a playboy in school, but outside of school you're such a good kid. It's really strange."

Yang Jun's forehead was filled with black lines, and his fists instantly stiffened.

"I think you're a weirdo. How could you bet on this?"

He shook his head and finally decided to let Lao Sun go this time, and then told him to stop doing anything stupid when he returned.

"Actually, there's one more thing."

Seeing that he was about to be driven away, Sun said that he didn't need to hurry.

"Speak." Yang Jun gritted his teeth. Such a teammate was really hateful.

"The director asked you to go back to headquarters when you have time."

"go back?"

Yang Jun shook his head: "I do have to go back, but I have to go back to the countryside."

"If the director really wants me to go back, then let's wait until the Lantern Festival."

"Ah?" Sun Bu was a little dumbfounded.

"But the director seems quite anxious..."

"If he was really anxious, he would have come here himself. Besides, he wouldn't have the time to make a bet with you. It's boring."

Yang Jun complained harshly to the two of them, then pulled the door.

"Are you okay? If not, I'm closing the shop. I have a family emergency."

"No, what's the emergency? It's not today that you have to go back, is it?"

"Sorry, no comment."

Sun had no choice but to retreat.

"Then don't forget about the director."

"Brother Sun, I won't see you off. Goodbye."

"Hey, what's so urgent for this guy to do?" Sun, a single man, didn't have to think about it for a long time, but he still couldn't come up with an answer.
