Age: My Small World

Chapter 67 Thermos Bottle

Fanjiazhuang.

When Yang Jun came back, it was almost afternoon.

Riding a bike is much better than walking. You don’t have to avoid people on the road before school is over.

It took only ten minutes to get there by bike, which was an hour's journey.

Arriving at a secluded spot at the entrance of the village, he quickly parked his car, took out the things he needed to take, and packed them in two sacks to take home.

When passing by his seventh uncle's house, he saw Yang Jun at a glance with a pipe in his mouth.

"Good morning, Uncle Seven."

"What the hell is early? Junwazi, you're finally back. If you don't come back soon, your mother will come to my house and beat me up."

Fan Xinhe was so angry when he saw Yang Jun. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Why did he issue him the certificate? What if something happened in the city?

Although Yang Jun said that he would go with his own Yuan Jie, the old man still felt a little worried.

Now that he's back safely, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Yang Jun chuckled and said, "My mother doesn't hit anyone. Uncle Qi, I'm afraid you were beaten by Aunt Qi."

Fan Xinhe's mouth twitched: "Nonsense, how dare your Seventh Aunt, a woman, hit me?"

"Fan Xinhe, what are you mumbling about? Go get some water quickly. There's no water at home." When Aunt Qi's voice came, Uncle Qi instantly lost his temper.

"I know, I know. Why are you shouting so loudly?" He yelled into the house, but his response was an even louder shout from Aunt Seventh Yao Taohua.

Yang Jun had no intention of watching the excitement at his seventh uncle's house and ran away as soon as possible.

"Uncle Qi, I'm in a hurry to go home. I'll come see you later."

Carrying two sacks, he ran towards home without hesitation.

"Hey, this kid!"

He met a few acquaintances on the way, and they all asked Yang Jun where he had been. He just smiled and said that he had been to the city. As for whether it was a county town or a provincial capital, they were all cities.

After all, they were the only two high school students in the village, so no one had too many doubts about it.

Speaking of which, there were several people in Fanjiazhuang who went to junior high school before, but only two of them were admitted to high school. The others tried to get into technical secondary school, but the result was even more difficult.

At that time, the value of technical secondary schools was quite high, not much worse than regular universities. The chances of junior high school graduates being admitted to them were no less than those of later students being admitted to key universities.

Given the educational resources in the countryside, there is almost no hope of passing the exam.

When he returned home, Yang Jun found that no one was at home as usual.

Fortunately, people don’t lock the door when they go out now, so he just pushed the door open and went in.

Just at this moment, Li Xiaohua was shocked to see someone carrying a sack into her house.

"Who are you? You're a thief in broad daylight! Come out here!"

Li Xiaohua is not an ordinary timid woman, otherwise she would not be able to raise three children. She directly picked up the broom at the door, ready to catch the turtle in the jar.

"Big girl, second girl, when the people come out, hold his hands down and let me beat him."

"I understand, mother." The eldest and second sisters looked heroic and confident.

After being nourished by the spiritual water for these days, the three of them have recovered a lot of strength and have become much stronger.

Then, they saw their precious son and younger brother coming out of the house.

"Mom, why are you welcoming me home with such fanfare?" Yang Jun's smiling face made Li Xiaohua stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't help but smile, and quickly stepped forward and hugged him.

"Son, my son, you are back."

My two days and two nights of worry finally came to fruition, and I almost cried.

"Mom, I'm fine," Yang Jun consoled her. He glanced at his two sisters, both of whom had delighted expressions, though neither of them came over to hug him as exaggeratedly as his mother.

My second sister Yang Yumei pulled my mother away with a smile.

"Mom, Xiaoshan just came back. I'm afraid he hasn't eaten yet. Let's go inside first."

Li Xiaohua finally let him go and nodded anxiously: "Yes, I'm cooking. Just heat it up and you can eat it. Wait a minute, kid."

The eldest sister smiled at Yang Jun, then picked up the backpack left behind by her mother and sister and carried it into the house.

We went into the house together, and he answered my mother's questions.

I basically just asked him how the journey was, whether he had food to eat, how he slept at night, whether he got on the bus when he came back, etc.

These simple questions showed she cared.

Yang Jun answered them one by one without hesitation.

He even handed the hotel receipt to my mother so that she wouldn't think that her child went to the provincial capital and got something for nothing.

With actual evidence, the persuasiveness is greatly increased, and I feel more at ease.

"If you bring a few more dollars with you, you will definitely have more space." Before leaving, Li Xiaohua wanted to give him money, but was rejected by Yang Jun. He also took out eight dollars to prove that he had saved money, which scared me.

However, he had already laid a solid foundation before, and he just said that it was earned from selling fish, so there was nothing to say.

"Eight dollars is enough, and I don't need it for anything."

"Xiaoshan, what is the provincial capital like? Is it the kind with lots of cars and nice houses?" On the other side, the second sister asked with great interest.

The eldest sister also looked over, quite curious.

For two girls, the farthest place they have ever been to in their lives is the county town, which is still quite dilapidated. They can hardly imagine the beauty of the provincial capital, but they are full of yearning.

"The provincial capital is actually not much different from the county town. There are just more people, more things, more bicycles, and the houses are taller. It's similar to the northern part of our county town."

We are still in the early stages of industrial development. Even though the Northeast is already full of different appearances, it will take a few years for it to radiate to the south.

Of course, steel production does affect the entire country.

"Oh, that's it." The second sister was a little disappointed.

"It will be different if we wait a few more years. We'll go and see it for ourselves when we have the chance." Yang Jun continued.

"Hehe, I don't want to go." Yang Yumei shook her head.

My eldest sister didn't seem to comment and continued to help my mother with the work.

Yang Jun shook his head. There was nothing he could do now. He would talk about these things after a few years when he went to college.

Once the industrial foundation is established, many utensils and supplies will become more abundant, and many places will be able to feel more changes in the new era.

As he said this, he went into the house and brought the two sacks back to the outer room.

"Mom, I went there and brought back some goodies for home."

He first took out two thermoses, the kind with an outer layer woven from bamboo strips and an inner liner. To be more precise, they should be called thermoses.

This thing is a bit fragile and can easily break if not handled properly, so Yang Jun gave a few more instructions.

The second sister took the thing as if it were a treasure.

"I've wanted a thermos for a long time, but I couldn't bear to buy it. I didn't expect you, Xiaoshan, to bring it back." Yang Yumei was reluctant to let go.

The eldest sister also took one and looked at it curiously.
