Age: My Small World

Chapter 50 Preparing to go to the provincial capital

new week.

The two figures still accompanied each other to school.

"Xiao Yu'er, when I came back yesterday, I happened to be cooking for my family and didn't go out. I forgot to tell you."

I don’t know why, but Cheng Xiaoyu felt in a good mood after going out today.

She raised the corners of her mouth slightly: "Brother Xiaoshan, it's okay, I asked last time."

Yang Jun nodded. "That's good, but there's probably not much fun to do in the mountains these days. Let's go and have a look when the rabbits are in their dens in winter. Maybe we can catch a few and take them home."

Of course, in his opinion, by that time, his two pairs of little rabbits would probably be able to have a second baby.

We walked all the way to school and after the familiar morning exercises, classes officially started.

The first class was Chinese. As soon as Cao Wen arrived in the class, he announced an unexpected news.

"Students, according to instructions from our superiors, starting next month, all boarding students will no longer need to bring food to campus. Instead, each student will be issued a meal ticket. The same applies to students who cannot go home for lunch."

According to his detailed explanation, Yang Jun finally understood that the county had taken the lead in changing the production team standards. Students used to bring food from home to school, but after the production team was implemented, the food would be concentrated in the hands of the collective and distributed according to work by the team. It would be impossible for students to bring their own food, and the school would have to subsidize their meals.

Everyone just needs to hand in their meal ticket.

Since students’ main task now is still studying, no fees will be charged. They only need to participate in production team labor on weekends and during winter and summer vacations, and each person can get a certain amount of work points.

Yang Jun naturally didn't care, as he could still eat in the cafeteria openly this way.

As for some children who were as poor as he was before, they were so happy that they couldn't contain themselves.

Teacher Cao hasn't finished speaking yet.

"The food issue will be handled by your village. Don't worry about being charged. However, if anyone doesn't earn work points during the weekend, the food supply will be reduced proportionally. Don't be lazy."

At this point, Cao Wen was actually quite pleased. According to such a policy, students would no longer have to worry about whether they could have enough to eat, and would be able to devote more energy to their studies. In three years, the university admission rate should be increased.

As soon as he said this, many people breathed a sigh of relief, and then everyone couldn't help but cheer.

Yang Jun narrowed his eyes. Such good things would not last long. He would have to live a tight life in the future.

At noon, after lunch, I went out as usual.

At the back of the classroom, Jiang Xueying looked at Yang Jun's back, wanting to say something but stopping herself from speaking until he disappeared.

When Xiaoyuer came back from washing the dishes, she found that he was gone. She couldn't help but grit her teeth, but still put the lunch box on the table for him, and then returned to her desk to preview. She was still quite nervous about her learning progress.

When Yang Jun went out, he naturally went to look for Mr. Hu.

However, after walking onto the street, I noticed that the surroundings seemed a little different, with fewer people.

When he arrived at the intersection of the small market, Yang Jun subconsciously went in to take a look, and the result surprised him even more, because the once bustling market had disappeared, and people were only in groups of three or four.

"What's going on?"

When he thought that the people in this market were all from the surrounding rural areas, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

"Maybe the surrounding villages have heard the news, so no one dares to come here anymore."

Now that my aunt has received the news, some signs are beginning to appear.

"I don't know if Zhou Qiang has been affected."

"Forget it, these should have nothing to do with me."

Without thinking any more, he turned and headed towards Nanying Lane.

When I arrived at Mr. Hu's house, he was lying on a recliner, fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan, with the door open and enjoying the cool breeze.

The sun in late August is still quite hot, but fortunately there is a persimmon tree in the yard to provide some shade. "Hey, Master Ba is home."

Yang Jun walked in with a smile, he was not unfamiliar with the place.

"You're here, sit down."

Mr. Hu waved a palm-leaf fan and gestured to the small stool next to him.

He continued, "We've found the jade you're looking for, but they're reluctant to sell it. They'd like to keep it and sell it for a higher price later."

Mr. Hu's tone was somewhat disdainful.

As the saying goes, gold is valuable in troubled times and antiques are valuable in prosperous times. Some people naturally think that after the world is peaceful, things like jade or antiques will have room for appreciation, so the wait-and-see attitude is not surprising.

Yang Jun shook his head slightly when he heard this. They probably didn't know what situation they would face next.

"It's okay, Master Ba. I'm not in a hurry. I'll wait and see how things go."

In addition to the current high prices, another important reason is that he doesn't have much money.

What's more, there are more than a hundred drops of spiritual water in reserve in the small world, plus the natural harvest of one drop every day, so there is no need to worry about expenses in the short term.

"Then what are you doing here, kid?"

Mr. Hu glanced at him and said, "You're not still thinking about doing something fancy, are you?"

"Eighth Master is willing to teach?" Yang Jun's eyes lit up.

Mr. Hu closed his eyes instantly, rocked his recliner, and gently waved his palm-leaf fan as he said, "I'm too old to teach you."

Yang Jun was mentally prepared and was not disappointed. This was not the purpose of his visit.

"Master Ba, do you have any connections in the provincial capital? I plan to go there soon. Could you please help me?"

The old man stood up instantly after hearing this, staring at him with his eyes open and closed: "What's going on? Are you going to the provincial capital to find out about the old man's background?"

Yang Jun was a little amused and said, "Why would you think that? I'm just a child. Why would I want to know your details? I went to the provincial capital for something."

Mr. Hu was just saying it casually, of course he wasn't really afraid of a kid like him.

He pondered for a moment, then said, "There's this person. If you go to the provincial capital, it should be reliable to find him."

"Of course, it's best to keep a few tricks up your sleeve. You look quite clever, but you're still too naive for those who like to play dirty tricks. Be careful not to get taken advantage of."

There was a warning in his words.

Yang Jun's heart trembled, and then he nodded.

He will not look down on people today just because he has a broad vision. Smart people in every era are the same. If he looks down on them, he will only make himself uncomfortable.

There is no simple person who can work in the dark market.

"Then I'll write you a letter later with that person's address. When you get there, you can give him the letter and he'll understand."

Yang Jun nodded quickly.

"By the way, what on earth are you going to do in the provincial capital?"

The old man asked him curiously, but then stopped talking.

"Forget it. Whatever you do has nothing to do with me. Just don't try to hurt me. I'm going to live one day at a time."

As he spoke, Mr. Hu swung his legs comfortably, looking truly free and easy.
