Age: My Small World

Chapter 593: Poor and particular

It was dusk.

The aroma of meat gradually wafted through the yard, attracting the writer to stand up.

She looked at the sun setting in the west, put away her small stool and small table, and went back into the house.

Yang Jun was sitting on the kang reading a newspaper. She didn't disturb him. She just sat down opposite him quietly, peeled a candy gently and put it into her mouth. Immediately, her little face relaxed a lot.

After taking a look at the little girl's behavior, Yang Jun smiled and returned his gaze to the newspaper.

He read the newspapers to learn what was happening and to get a glimpse into current events.

Speaking of which, he saw a piece of news about a lost antique last time, and he was thinking of reporting it, but now he guessed that the item had been found.

This kind of thing is not easy to do, as it is easy for people to misunderstand whether he is that person's accomplice.

Putting down the newspaper, he rubbed the little head of the good boy and said, "Good boy, have you finished writing?"

"I finished it a long time ago. The rest is just homework I added to myself."

"I'm also adding more homework to myself. That's great."

Yang Jun looked at the little girl's serious face and couldn't help but think of her future.

If all goes well, after studying hard until junior high school and settling down for two or three years, you may be able to try directly to enter university.

At this time, Gu Nan Ke pushed the door open and walked in, carrying dishes.

"Okay, wash your hands and eat."

The whole family sat neatly on the kang. In front of Yang Jun were delicious dishes: a plate of pig ears fried with chili peppers, a plate of pig head meat bought on the street, and a plate of fried peanuts.

As for the mother and daughter, there was only a plate of green vegetables and a plate of pickles.

Yang Jun reluctantly pushed all the dishes to the middle before starting to eat.

Sometimes, Gu Nan Ke is really traditional. She always gives her husband the best food first and doesn't let him do housework. He has to do the laundry, cook, and take care of the children. He even has to make shoes to supplement the family income. Such a wife is really rare.

"Come on, eat more meat and grow taller."

Yang Jun obediently picked up some more pork head meat without chili peppers, and then picked up some fried pig ears with chili peppers for Gu Nan Ke.

"Try it yourself."

She nodded with a smile on her face and took a bite.

Then her little face turned red instantly, her mouth opened wide and she kept breathing out air because it was spicy.

"Hi~hoo~"

"Look at you, you can't eat chili peppers but you still learned how to cook this dish. It's hard for you."

Yang Jun quickly gave her some warm water, and after she drank it, she coughed twice before the pain got a little better.

"The chili peppers you bought there are quite spicy." Yang Jun took a bite and found them to be quite good indeed.

"The aunt next door gave it to me. I told her that you like spicy food." Gu Nan Ke smiled embarrassedly.

"Haha, then you have a pretty good relationship with your neighbors. Visit them more often on weekdays and bring some things to people."

"Well, I was thinking of bringing some cabbage over tomorrow."

The cabbages planted in the yard have grown up and we have eaten a whole crop of them.

Gu Nan Ke thought that if she wanted to give something to someone, she had to tell her husband and get his consent before doing it, otherwise she would have given something to someone yesterday.

"Get another dried fish. If I'm not at home on weekdays, you should talk to Auntie more often and help each other if there is anything." He still remembered what Gu Nanke said, that the aunt next door was the only one left at home, and her life was quite quiet.

"Row."

Gu Nanke nodded happily.

Yang Jun took another bite of the pig's head and found it tasted quite good. He also wanted to learn the braising method.

"Xiaoshan, try the peanuts again, they are so crispy." Gu Nanke kept an eye on him while he ate, which made Yang Jun laugh and cry.

I had no choice but to try the peanuts as well.

"Well, you controlled the heat well, and you used white sugar, which is good."

Yang Jun realized that Gu Nan Ke actually wanted to show her control over the heat, but she didn't say it explicitly. This woman was really too tactful.

Of course, her attentiveness went beyond that. Although she had never seen Yang Jun eat peanuts, she accurately grasped that he preferred those with sugar.

Peanuts with sugar added feel like snacks, but with salt added they feel like vegetables, so Yang Jun prefers adding sugar to adding salt.

"Then eat more." The woman picked up some more food for him.

She looked obediently at her mother and then at her uncle. For a moment, she could only lower her head and eat her meal silently. Every time, her mother and uncle would show their affection to each other and then ignore her. The little girl was used to it.

At night, Guaiguai washed her feet and then pretended to be very sleepy and climbed into bed to sleep. In fact, she did so so that her mother could rest early. She knew that her mother liked to be with her uncle the most. She would cry every night, wondering if her uncle beat her mother.

In a daze, the little girl gradually fell asleep.

On the other side, Gu Nanke couldn't help but squeeze Yang Jun's arm.

"Be quiet, so the children don't hear."

"What nonsense." Gu Nan Ke rolled her eyes at him, then stood up and massaged his shoulders. She was giving him a massage.

Yang Jun just casually said that his shoulders were sore, and the woman started to massage him. It was quite comfortable, and his shoulders felt much more relaxed.

"Nan Ke, I think she'll have to live in silence for a few years, and her studies will be affected. You should try to tutor her as much as possible and make sure she doesn't fall behind in her studies."

Gu Nanke frowned and said worriedly:

"Xiaoshan, have you received any news?"

"Well, there is some inside information. Anyway, you are right to listen to me."

She naturally didn't refute it, and nodded, "Okay, then I'll watch her study more often."

"Don't tire yourself out. Take your time with the shoemaking. Just make a few more pairs for me to wear. We're not short of money at home. I'd be worried if you went out to sell shoes."

The woman leaned against his back, her face pressed against his: "Then I won't go out. I'll wait for you at home."

Yang Jun turned his face, looked at her face to face, and then kissed her lips involuntarily.

"Look at you, you're so beautiful. How can I bear to let you work every day? You should practice calligraphy at home more."

Her hands are not fit for making shoes.

"Hehe, no way." Gu Nan Ke wanted to lower her head shyly, but he attacked her by surprise and she raised her head and chest out in an instant.

In a blink of an eye, the two of them pulled back the quilt and crawled in.

The next day.

Yang Jun also had to go to school, and he took Guaiguai to her school first.

It was still early, and when I arrived at the dormitory, I found my roommates busy washing up in a chaotic manner.

"Yang Jun, why are you here at this time?"

"Are you guys busy? Okay, okay, just wash up and go, or you'll be late." Yang Jun looked at them cheerfully and waited at the door with his hands folded.

Seeing some people taking the time to wash their faces with soap, he shrugged:

"And yet poor and particular."

This caused several people to roll their eyes at him.

However, the boys washed and dressed very quickly. After a few minutes, they gathered together and set off.
