Age: My Small World

Chapter 54 Motorcade
This is the weekend.

Yang Jun got up almost before dawn.

It was only when he reached the front room that he discovered that his mother had gotten up earlier than him and was cooking something on the small stove.

"Baby, the water is ready for you, go wash your face."

There was still some worry in Li Xiaohua's eyes, but it was still dawn and nothing could be seen.

"I know, mother. You got up too early. Go back to sleep later."

"Mom is fine."

When Yang Jun was about to set off, he saw his mother stuffing three boiled eggs into his mouth.

"Eat on the way, don't go hungry." Li Xiaohua reminded.

Then he took out five dollars from his pocket and handed it to him.

Yang Jun thought about it and didn't refuse. He took it and put it in his pocket, so as to relieve his mother's worries.

"Yuanjie is a driver now, you can ask him about the car." Li Xiaohua continued.

"Mom, you and I think the same thing." How could Yang Jun not inform everyone in advance before going on a trip? He had already made an appointment with Fan Yuanjie.

When I went out, my mother was standing at the door:

"Baby, please be careful."

"I understand, mother." Yang Jun waved his hand behind him. Under the morning mist, a figure could be vaguely seen at the door and did not leave for a long time.

Cheng Xiaoyu's home.

Yang Jun came here specially and happened to see a figure preparing to go out under the gray sky.

"Xiao Yu'er, where are you going so early?"

"Brother Xiaoshan? What are you going to do?"

Yang Jun was wearing the clothes he usually wore when he was at school, so it made no sense for him to hold his straw sandals with his toes when he went into the city. So Xiao Yuer was a little surprised, because today was the weekend and he didn't have school.

"I'm going to the city, and you have to go collect firewood so early in the morning."

Xiao Yu'er was wearing an old-fashioned blue shirt with traces of patches on it, and carrying a backpack. It seemed that he was going to get up early to collect firewood.

There are not many people in the family. If we don’t pick up some dry firewood and pile it up now, the bed will be frozen in winter and we won’t be able to sleep well.

"I was thinking of asking you to come along so I can help you pick up more." Xiao Yuer looked at him and curled her lips.

"Okay, you have a conscience." Yang Jun happily pulled her pigtails, which was really convenient.

"Bah, I have a conscience." The little girl blushed a little.

He subconsciously glanced at the flatbed airport, which seemed to have fluctuated, and then shook his head: "Yes, there is a conscience, but not much."

Fortunately, he said this quietly, which made Xiaoyuer look at him in confusion. What was he mumbling about?
"I brought you some delicious food and water. If you're tired, drink some. But you're not allowed to give it to others."

He stuffed the two eggs that his mother had cooked directly into Xiaoyuer's small cloth bag, and handed the water bottle to her.

"Xiaoshan, I can't have your egg anymore. I haven't returned it to you last time."

When Xiao Yuer saw that it was an egg, he quickly took it out and returned it to him.

"Be good and listen. If you don't want it, just throw it away. I won't take back the things I give you anyway."

Yang Jun glared at her and kept using the same old rhetoric.

"But..." Xiao Yuer knew how important eggs were at home. If Brother Xiaoshan gave them to her to eat again and again, it would be a huge loss. Besides, he was a boy, and growing up was more important.

"Don't worry, I probably won't be back tomorrow. Please tell Teacher Cao for me. This is your reward."

"Ah? Didn't you go to the city? Why haven't you come back yet?" Xiao Yuer was startled and focused all his attention on this sentence.

"The provincial capital is a bit far away."

Without waiting for her to ask more, he quickly waved his hand and said, "I'm leaving. Remember what to do tomorrow."

After saying this, the person ran away.

The little girl stamped her feet anxiously behind them, and when she touched the two warm eggs, a hint of shyness appeared on her face. ...

county seat.

Yang Jun reached the destination in less than an hour and then headed towards the north of the city.

Unlike the west and south of the city, the north of the city has many more multi-story buildings, the streets are paved with cobblestones, and there are many breakfast shops nearby.

It was already around seven o'clock, so there were more and more people on the street.

When passing by a breakfast shop called Wangji, he saw his deskmate Wang Kui, who was helping to sell buns.

"So his shop really does sell breakfast."

After just taking a look from a distance, Yang Jun turned and left without any intention of going over to say hello.

After eating the egg on the way, he was no longer hungry and didn't need to buy breakfast.

But when the familiar smell of steamed buns and fried cakes came, I couldn't help swallowing my saliva.

The direction to the north of the city leads specifically to the provincial capital, and the county convoy where Fan Yuanjie is located also needs to travel between the two places.

Yang Jun had exchanged a letter with him before, and he had also left a time. It was just today that the convoy was going to the provincial capital, so it was a good opportunity to take Yang Jun with them.

When we arrived at the north gate, we saw several trucks parked on the side of the road. Some half-grown children were looking around curiously, some even touched things, and then started shouting excitedly.

"Big car, I touched the big car."

Yang Jun saw Fan Yuanjie from a distance. He was listening to something in front of a middle-aged man and nodding from time to time.

When he came closer, Fan Yuanjie also noticed him.

"Xiaoshan!" the guy shouted excitedly.

The others also looked over, and after seeing that it was a young boy, they continued chatting among themselves.

"Xiao Jie." Yang Jun called out in a low voice when he saw there were other people around.

Fan Yuanjie, on the other hand, was carefree. He pulled Yang Jun and walked to the middle-aged man.

"Xiaoshan, let me introduce you. This is my master, Wang Gong."

"Master, this is my brother Yang Jun. He's really good and is currently in high school."

Master Wang, who had been a little indifferent, looked over.

"Is he the kid you said you wanted to go to the city with?"

"Yes, Master, just give Xiaoshan a ride. I can stay in the truck bed with him and I promise not to cause any trouble for you."

Wang Gong couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

"You were supposed to be in the truck bed anyway. There's no room for anyone else next to me."

This trip is to transport construction steel back, so naturally we need to bring a few more people to the provincial capital.

Fan Yuanjie is just one of his apprentices, and there are other senior brothers as well, so it is really not his turn to be the co-pilot.

"But..." Master Wang Gong's gaze fell on Yang Jun.

"You, a student, can sit in the passenger seat. The bed is too shaky and your body will tremble."

"Thank you, Master Wang. It's great that you're willing to give me a ride. I can sit anywhere."

Yang Jun did not push his luck further. He thought it was a huge favor that the other party gave him a ride for a while, so he should not expect any extra favors.

If he took a bus into the city himself, it would cost at least one dollar for the fare, so the favor involved was already quite a large one.

"That's fine. If you can't sit still, just tell me. My disciples are all strong and healthy. It doesn't matter if we move to another place."

In the end, Wang Gong still thought more about his disciples.

However, Yang Jun looked a little thin, but the faintly visible abdominal muscles were still a plus, so he should not be as ugly as imagined.

So Wang Gong was not so worried.
