Age: My Small World

Chapter 592 Cultivating Talents
After the two trees were planted, the courtyard suddenly became more lively.

"Master, you have to help me take good care of these two trees. I'm looking forward to eating persimmons in the future."

Mr. Hu rolled his eyes at him and said, "So you think this old man is a janitor, don't you?"

"Hey, how can you say that? You'll have to eat with us then."

"Alright, alright, if you have something to do, just get out of here."

Mr. Hu waved his hand helplessly and sent him away.

However, looking at the two trees swaying, he couldn't help but smile with relief. After stroking his long beard, the old man hurriedly went to find a ladle to fetch water to water the trees.

After leaving Kaimen Lane, Yang Jun first came to Qiming Road not far away.

At the entrance of an inconspicuous alley, a shop opened quietly. Only a few people knew about the shop because it only sold things related to jade and antiques.

For the safety of Zhou Qiang and his son, Yang Jun had no plans to make a big move. He only needed to find business targets who were introduced by acquaintances.

The main purpose of opening a shop is to train Zhou Qiang and confirm his ability and loyalty. When the time comes, Yang Jun will naturally arrange for him to go to Hong Kong Island.

"Hey, the boss is here." Zhou Qiang pulled his son who was cleaning to greet him.

Zhou Yan also happily called out, "Brother Jun."

Yang Jun walked over, patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Just call me Brother Xiaoshan like Dashan and the others."

"Brother Xiaoshan." He scratched his head and called out, and the relationship between the two of them suddenly became much closer and less unfamiliar.

Zhou Yan is only sixteen years old this year and was forced to drop out of school because of his father.

He has a flexible personality and knows when to advance and retreat. To be honest, his future is probably much better than Zhou Qiang's.

This is also the reason why Yang Jun values them father and son, as they are both talents that can be cultivated.

"Xiao Yan, are you interested in continuing your studies?"

To cultivate talents, the first thing is to read. Only by reading enough books can you understand enough principles and have a longer way to go in the future.

Yang Jun has always believed that knowledge changes destiny.

If a person's cognition is very limited, then his whole life may just be like sitting in a well and looking at the world.

Zhou Yan's eyes suddenly lit up: "Brother Xiaoshan, what do you mean?"

"My boss?"

Zhou Qiang couldn't help but clench his fists. As this concerned his son's future, he was quite concerned and nervous.

Yang Jun waved his hand: "Sit down and talk."

He invited the two of them to sit down together, and Zhou Yan even poured him some tea. His foresight was indeed better than Zhou Qiang's.

Then he smiled and said, "I plan to let Xiaoyan continue his studies. In a few days, I will use my connections to let him study for another year. What do you think?"

As for going to high school or college in the future, Yang Jun didn't have much hope. Zhou Yan was flexible, but his grades were average, especially since he had not been able to read many books since he was a child.

Moreover, in two years there will be a wave of educated youth going to the countryside. If he really goes to high school then, he will probably have to go to the countryside, which is quite different from Yang Jun's idea.

"But my grades are not good. Can I keep up if I go there?" Zhou Yan knew his own limitations.

"You don't have to get good grades when you go to school. Your goal is to learn more. If your grades aren't good, then focus on one subject. Doing one thing well is better than doing everything badly."

"I want to rely on you to do things in the future. It won't hurt to learn more." Yang Jun's words made both the father and son nod their heads.

"Brother Xiaoshan, I will go to study and will definitely not let you down." Zhou Yan became firm.

Zhou Qiang smiled innocently and said, "Thank you for your help, Master. Once Xiaoyan learns well, he will definitely be able to help you."

"You're welcome, Brother Zhou. You've already helped me."

"That's a deal then. I'll tell Master if I have any news in a few days."

"I understand, Boss." The mood of the father and son suddenly became even more excited.

Although it was just a promise from Yang Jun, it was obvious that he really valued them.

"You guys keep busy. If you need any help, ask Dashan and the others. If that doesn't work, you can ask my master for help."

"Yes, Brother Xiaoshan."

Naturally, he would not reveal his whereabouts easily, even though the two of them were his subordinates.

After taking a look and finding no needs or problems, he left.

Gu Nan Ke must have been worried since he didn't go home all night.

He took some meat and roast duck with him and then went home.

When I came out of the yard, I heard the mother and daughter talking in the house.

"I have to go to school tomorrow, so hurry up and write the words."

"Mom, I have caught up with my studies." The little girl actually learned to argue.

Gu Nanke said, "It's great that you've caught up, but if we study a little more, our grades will be even better. How about giving uncle a perfect score? He'll definitely be very happy."

"really?"

"Of course, my uncle and mother are very happy because my grades are good."

"Okay, I'll write it now."

In a blink of an eye, the little girl has been studying for half a year. Because she went to school at the beginning of the year, she fell behind in half a year's homework of her classmates. Unexpectedly, she made up for it in half a semester and was able to study better than usual.

Yang Jun decided to give her more spiritual water so that she could remember everything she saw.

When they pushed the door open and went in, both mother and daughter raised their heads and looked over.

"Xiaoshan, you're back." Gu Nan Ke hurried over and took the things in his hand immediately.

"Uncle." She called out sweetly.

"Just do your homework nicely, you're so good." Yang Jun encouraged her, and then gave her two White Rabbit snacks as usual.

"Thank you, uncle." Guaiguai smiled even more happily.

"Don't give her too much candy, it'll damage her teeth."

Gu Nanke looked at the two of them helplessly.

Yang Jun took her arm and went into the house together: "It's okay, it's been a long time since she ate a few pills, and you didn't buy any for her when I wasn't home."

"Then it would be better to buy some more meat to nourish her."

Gu Nanke planned his days carefully.

"There will be meat and sugar, just save it." Yang Jun held her hand tightly, and was reluctant to let go for a moment.

Gu Nanke's hands are very beautiful, with clear texture and even bones, like strands of green onion. It is no exaggeration to say that her hands are those of a pianist.

"Are you free these two days?" Gu Nan Ke didn't struggle to break free. She walked into the house, sat next to him, and snuggled into his arms.

"Yeah, nothing much. I went to see my master this morning."

"The old man is in good health, right? He's also a martial artist, so we need to pay more attention to him. Why don't we take him over to live with us? I'll help take care of him here."

After all, Gu Nan Ke didn't know the function of the spiritual water, so he was worried about whether the old man could live well alone.

"Don't worry, my master is in good health. He's used to living alone, so he might not be able to adapt if he really moves in."

"That's fine."
