Age: My Small World

Chapter 187 Great Progress
There were naturally no surprises in this inspection.

Thanks to Wei Ran's generous teaching, Yang Jun can now speak foreign languages fluently with standard pronunciation. He even knows many words by heart. He just lacks more systematic learning, otherwise he would be able to translate simply in no time.

"Yang Jun, have you been practicing at home every day? This is quite a big improvement."

Wei Ran calculated his progress. If he continued like this, within a year or two, Yang Jun might be able to learn university knowledge in advance.

Learning foreign languages in high school is not that difficult. The most difficult part is probably the vocabulary, which requires a lot of memorization.

When your vocabulary reaches a certain level, it will be very easy to learn grammar and sentences.

There is no doubt that Yang Jun has a good memory.

"Of course, I can't let you down, teacher."

"How's that? Now I can stay here, right?"

Under the dim light, Wei Ran said helplessly, "Now that you're here, can I still chase you away?"

"As usual, you can sleep next to the kang. It will be warmer at night with the stove."

She burned anthracite, so she didn't have to worry about suffocating from the stove.

Wei Ran usually slept on a heated kang, and the stove was placed at the door. But after Yang Jun came, he had to leave the stove there, otherwise it would be too cold at night.

"Then I'll get you some water and boil it so we can soak our feet together later."

"You're welcome." Wei Ran nodded with a smile.

Not every household in the city has a well, so they have to go to the well to fetch water.

There is often one or two wells in an alley.

However, Yang Jun didn't have to go to the well to fetch water late at night. He only needed to draw water from the large water tank at the door into the pot.

But when he opened the water tank and saw ice floating on the shallow water, Yang Jun knew he had to go out.

He put down the kettle, picked up the shoulder pole and bucket beside him, and walked out.

Wei Ran in the room didn't hear any noise for a long time, and now he came out and watched him carrying the bucket out.

"There's water here, why do you still need to go out to get water?"

Wei Ran pointed to his water tank.

Yang Jun didn't stop.

"It's almost out of water. I'm here today, so I can fill it up for you."

He knew the location of the well and didn't need Wei Ran to lead the way.

But she still followed and blocked Yang Jun's way.

"Why are you fetching water so late at night? Let's go back and talk about it tomorrow."

Wei Ran pretended to be angry and said with glaring eyes.

Yang Jun shook his head. "It's not easy for me to help you in the daytime. It's better to fetch water at night, and no one will gossip about you."

Neighbors love to gossip about single girls like this. If someone really sees him going in and out here to help fetch water, who knows how Wei Ran's story will be spread in the streets in a few days. No matter how she explains, it will be useless.

"Then don't you think it would be even harder to explain if someone saw you at night?" Wei Ran was speechless, but did not try to stop him.

"It's pitch black. Who knows who? Who cares if he can see it or not?"

"Tsk tsk, it's rare to see you have such a carefree side."

Wei Ran continued, "Okay then, I'll go with you."

Before he could say anything more, the woman was already leading the way.

A cotton-padded jacket conceals her slim figure. Nothing can be seen from the back, but she is still graceful and elegant.

Yang Jun didn't glance around, but there was a fragrance in his nose that made him scratch his nose.

The well is not far away, it is in a yard a few dozen meters away. The surrounding gates have long been rebuilt, leaving only the well standing. Not many people come to fetch water at night, so it is quite quiet.

The windlass on top of the well was covered with a thin layer of ice, which fell to the ground when the gloved hand knocked it off.

Then he started lowering the bucket, but Wei Ran took over. "Crunch, crunch..."

The sound of the rope being lowered was a little harsh.

After the bucket was filled with water, it became even more difficult to lift it up.

"Can you do it?" Yang Jun looked at her doubtfully.

"Forget it, you should come."

The weather was getting colder, and the bucket was heavier than before, and it was freezing my hands.

In order not to waste time, she gave up her seat decisively.

After Yang Jun took over, the windlass was almost turning fast, and it seemed too easy.

"Yang Jun, go slowly, don't hurt your hands."

"Don't worry, I can actually be faster if you don't follow me."

"Can you blame me for this?" Wei Ran rolled his eyes and watched his actions.

The two buckets of water were soon full, so the windlass was returned to its original position and the water was scooped up with a shoulder pole.

Each one weighs about 30 kilograms, and the total weight is no more than 60 kilograms, which is really easy for Yang Jun.

Under Wei Ran's surprised gaze, he walked briskly.

After pouring the water into the water tank, Yang Jun did not stop, but turned around and went back to continue fetching water.

"Why don't we pick one tomorrow? I can do it by myself." Wei Ran said worriedly.

Although it was only a few dozen meters away, the ground was quite slippery.

"Hehe." Yang Jun was the only one who responded to her with a smile.

Tonight is bound to be a bit busy.

In less than thirty minutes, Yang Jun went back and forth four or five times and filled the water tank, which should be enough for Teacher Wei to use for a while.

The water in the water tank is usually used for cooking and is not used that often. People wash clothes at the well.

At the door, Yang Jun filled the pot again and lifted it up.

"Okay, come inside quickly, your feet are wet."

Wei Ran urged him to go into the house and then asked him to take off his shoes.

The cotton shoes on my feet were already soaked with water and half soaked.

There is no smell at all. After being nourished by the spiritual water, his body will not easily produce any strange smell. Even if you smell it up close, there is a faint smell, which is no less than the body fragrance of an ordinary girl.

So Wei Ran was a little surprised.

"There's no smell in your shoes. It's rare to see a boy who likes cleanliness." As she said that, she pointed at Yang Jun's socks, asking him to take them off.

"Teacher, isn't this a bit awkward for us to talk about? Who would mention the smell of someone else's shoes?"

Yang Jun took off his socks but didn't hand them to Wei Ran.

"Just bake it in the oven."

"No, it's all wet. I'll wash it for you."

Wei Ran snatched it away forcefully, then tested the water temperature on the stove. If it was about right, he could pour it out and use it to wash things.

Under the light, she first took off her cotton coat, revealing her curvy figure underneath, and didn't mind the boy's gaze.

Then he poured some warm water into the basin, put the kettle back on the stove, squatted down and started washing the socks with his hands.

She didn't show any disdain and rubbed it carefully.

Seeing this scene, Yang Jun couldn't help but say, "I really trouble you, teacher."

Wei Ran raised his head and smiled mischievously: "How about you help me wash it later?"
