Age: My Small World

"Okay, Xiaoshan, you help Aunt Xie pour the water into the water tank, I can carry it back myself."

My mother and Aunt Xie met too late. They have similar personalities and similar experiences, which gives them a lot to talk about.

And so, after spending some time together, the two became good friends who could talk about anything.

This is the only friend I have made since I came to the capital.

Yang Jun felt very relieved. This way, his mother wouldn't be so lonely. Otherwise, he was afraid that she would be bored if he left her alone at home every day.

Now, when I’m bored, I’ll just pull Aunt Xie over to chat with her. If that doesn’t work, we can go to the vegetable market together.

"I know, mother. Be careful then."

Li Xiaohua's physique is different from what it was back then. Even though it's not as exaggerated as Yang Jun's, she has never been sick again because she drinks the spiritual water left by Yang Jun every day. She doesn't get tired easily when working and is full of energy every day.

A mere fifty-pound bucket of water is no problem.

Yang Jun helped Aunt Xie carry the water into the house and then poured it into her water tank.

"Thank you, Xiaoshan."

Aunt Xie was also very satisfied with Yang Jun. This kid was different from those unruly guys in the compound. He looked like a well-behaved child.

"It's okay, Auntie. Next time you want to fetch water, just call me and I'll get it for you." Yang Jun didn't mind taking care of his mother's old friend.

"That won't work."

Aunt Xie was able to raise a son and a daughter, and she is also the kind of person who constantly strives to improve herself.

"Haha, just talk to my mother more. I was worried she'd be bored before, but now it's fine. It's nice to be able to chat with you about family matters."

"Yeah, it wasn't easy for your mother either, but now everything is fine."

She was also very pleased to know that Yang Jun's family had two workers and one college student.

Of course, her own child is not bad either.

"Okay, Auntie, I'll put the bucket over here."

Putting down the bucket, Yang Jun started to walk out.

Aunt Xie's house is actually a little out of the sun because it is against the wall as soon as you enter the door. In addition, the house is not big with only two rooms, so the overall environment is relatively dark and cramped. However, Aunt Xie keeps it very clean and the house is very tidy.

"Wait a minute, Auntie will get you something to eat."

Aunt Xie naturally wouldn't let him leave so quickly, and she had to give him something delicious.

No matter how much Yang Jun politely refused, she was determined to do so. Yang Jun had no choice but to wait a little.

Soon, Aunt Xie took out a few cakes from the cupboard.

"This is what Xiaolong bought yesterday. Xiaoshan, please eat it quickly."

Yang Jun took a piece and waved his hand: "Auntie, I'll just try one piece. I have to go home for dinner later."

Seeing that he was very determined, Aunt Xie stopped trying to persuade him.

"Auntie, I'll go back first."

In fact, the two houses are next to each other, and you can go back into the house just by turning around when you go out.

Yang Jun said as he walked out of the room.

At this moment, a figure just happened to come in, and the two people were startled almost at the same time.

Yang Jun quickly reached out and embraced the person he almost bumped into.

"Ouch."

Looking down, I saw that it was Aunt Xie's daughter who had returned.

"I'm sorry, I didn't notice you come in. Are you okay?"

Yang Jun didn't know her name, so he could only say this.

"It's okay, it's okay." The girl felt embarrassed when she was hugged by a boy, and she quickly stood up.

Then she glared at him and said, "Who else but you? What are you doing here? This is my home." Because of her schedule, she really didn't know Yang Jun. She only knew that a family had moved in next door.

"Xiao Bei, don't be rude. This is Xiao Shan, who lives next door to us. Xiao Shan just helped me carry some water into the house."

"is it?"

Xie Xiaobei examined Yang Jun and then raised an eyebrow. "You don't have any other intentions, do you? I'm telling you, I'm not interested in you. Just give up on this idea."

"what?!"

Yang Jun was stunned for a moment, looked at Xie Xiaobei, then turned to look at Aunt Xie, and wanted to ask this girl if she was crazy.

Although Xie Xiaobei is indeed good-looking, he shouldn't be so hungry, right?
Aunt Xie couldn't stand it anymore.

"Xiao Bei, stop talking nonsense. Xiao Shan already has a partner."

As soon as Xie Xiaobei heard this, he knew he had misunderstood, and his cheeks felt slightly hot.

But she has a carefree personality, and after a moment of awkwardness she was fine again.

"Ahem, I meant thank you."

Look how abruptly the subject was changed.

"Okay, I'll go back first."

Yang Jun didn't bother to continue.

"Walk slowly." Xie Xiaobei shouted from behind.

When Yang Jun returned home, Aunt Xie said with a mixture of laughter and tears: "You girl, don't you even look after yourself when you get home? You have to bump into people."

"Who told him to go out without looking at the road?" Xie Xiaobei curled his lips.

"I think you should get a pair of glasses. You can't see clearly when you walk."

Aunt Xie has known for a long time that her daughter is nearsighted, but she never wears glasses, so sometimes she bumps into the wall when walking.

"Yeah, in two days."

It is not cheap to get a pair of glasses nowadays. Xie Xiaobei, who just became a teacher, does not want to waste so much money. Now the money in the family is earned by her brother. She will consider her own problems when she gets her salary.

After perfunctorily finishing the conversation, Xie Xiaobei suddenly asked, "That guy just now looked very young, like a high school kid. Does he have a girlfriend?"

Although she was nearsighted, she could still see clearly in this face-to-face situation. The contrast was too strong to see Yang Jun, who looked like an 18-year-old boy, actually had a girlfriend.

"Not only is he a partner, he just got his marriage certificate not long ago."

Obviously, these things were said by me.

Xiao Yuer lived at home every day, so people naturally asked a few questions. But after they knew she was Yang Jun's young wife, they had nothing to say.

"Tsk tsk, getting married at such a young age, you'll definitely regret it when you're old."

"Bah, you can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. You should find a partner for me. You are already an adult."

Once a girl is over 20 years old, she is definitely an old maid, so Aunt Xie naturally starts to worry about her daughter's marriage.

Xie Xiaobei is exactly twenty years old this year. She is at a watershed moment and obviously hasn't thought about this matter yet, so she laughed it off skillfully and went into the next room.

There are only two rooms in the house, one for her brother and the other for her and her mother.

However, when she grew up, Aunt Xie divided the room into two with a thick curtain, and barely enough space for another bed, but the warmth of the kang was gone.

Even so, Xie Xiaobei likes his little nest very much.

She was curled up in the quilt and looked out the window. Unexpectedly, she vaguely saw Yang Jun carrying a bucket of water out again. It was obvious that he had to fill the water tank at home.

The girl rolled her eyes and stood up and walked out.

"Mom, I'm going to get some water. I'll give you some more."

"I know. Slow down." (End of this chapter)
