Age: My Small World

August.

It's the peak season for crops, and Li Xiaohua sometimes sighs, "If this were back home, we'd be harvesting rice right now."

But Yang Jun and the others were about to set off.

A month later, he experienced the hardships of being a father for the first time.

Xiao Yangke's sleep schedule is completely unpredictable; she falls asleep and wakes up at random times, keeping her parents constantly on edge.

However, Yang Jun could catch up on sleep through the small world, so he wasn't worried about that. He took the initiative to take care of Gu Nanke's daughter during her postpartum period, allowing Gu Nanke to rest and recuperate for a month and finally recover her health.

Now that he is about to leave, he can finally put his mind at ease about the mother and her two daughters.

To be honest, Gu Nanke gave birth at midday, so she stayed at school the whole time. She only found out she had a little sister when she got home that evening. For the past month, she has really enjoyed rushing home after school to play with her little sister.

"Xiaoshan, be careful when you're out and about. Don't worry about us, your mother and Uncle Ba are here to take care of us."

Gu Nanke said goodbye to Yang Jun while holding Xiao Yangke in his arms, his eyes full of reluctance.

"Yes, he'll be back in three months, that'll be quick. By then, Xiao Ke might even be calling him 'Dad'."

Yang Ke grew up soaking in spiritual water. Although her ability to absorb spiritual water wasn't as abnormal as Yang Jun's, the accumulation of time made her body far stronger than other babies.

Yang Jun had already experimented. If his own absorption efficiency of spiritual water was 100%, then ordinary people's efficiency was only about 10% or even 1%. This also explained why his mother and second sister, despite consuming so much spiritual water, still couldn't compare to his.

Yang Ke, who has been immersed in spiritual water since childhood, was able to absorb 10% from the start, and it might be even higher in the future.

However, no matter what, it still can't compare to the efficiency of the world's ruler, and there's nothing that can be done about it.

"How could it be so fast? What can a four-month-old baby say?"

Gu Nanke rolled her eyes at him, amused.

Yang Jun shrugged. That's not necessarily true.

Without saying anything more, he pinched Yang Ke's little cheek again, then set off with a bundle in his hand.

"be careful."

……

"We seem to be quite close this time, both living in the same village."

Jiang Xueying wore a shirt today and had her hair in two big braids. She looked less aloof and more approachable, like a girl next door.

"Unfortunately, things are a bit different on the team."

The villages are similar, but each village is divided into several large teams, which are quite far apart.

"It must be quite cold over there. Did you bring enough warm clothes?"

Yang Jun asked with concern.

After all, it's the grassland, so strong winds are common. And since it's close to the cold north, the temperature is incomparable to that of the south. Just by looking at the clothes worn by the people on the grassland, you can tell how important it is to keep warm.

"Don't worry, I went to buy it after you reminded me last time, and my mom also prepared an outfit for me."

She lifted her luggage, indicating that clothes were already prepared inside.

"Well, that's good."

While they were talking, the teacher in charge finished giving instructions and then urged everyone to set off.

This trip to the grasslands is quite far, and it will take a whole day by car. So if we leave early, we might be able to arrive in the evening. Otherwise, it will be too cold late at night.

The sun had just risen when the students headed to the train station to catch their trains.

There weren't enough buses available to get to the grasslands, so we had to take the train. Because most schools scheduled their departures for today, the train station was packed with students.

Yang Jun helped Jiang Xueying carry her luggage and squeeze onto the bus. Then he couldn't help but worry about Cheng Xiaoyu and Wei Ran. The two of them had traveled together, and coincidentally, Wei Ran was their teacher this time.

However, there's no need to worry too much. With so many students setting off together, any incident on the road would be a major incident, so safety is generally not a problem.

Yang Jun has gotten used to traveling by car from morning till night.

Jiang Xueying, however, felt a little dizzy.

Sitting next to Yang Jun was Wei Wen, who chattered away the whole way without showing any discomfort.

"Xiaoxue, are you alright? We should be there in two more hours, hang in there a little longer," Wei Wen comforted Jiang Xueying.

Wu Fang, who was sitting next to Jiang Xueying, was also sweating.

"This car shakes so much, my butt hurts from sitting on it."

"Yes, I'm fine." Jiang Xueying nodded.

Yang Jun handed her a water bottle, saying, "Have some water, don't feel too bad."

Actually, drinking water isn't good when you're carsick, but Yang Jun used spiritual water with added spiritual honey.

After drinking a few sips, Jiang Xueying felt much better, and her eyes became brighter.

"Sister Fang, have some too, this water makes you feel good."

Jiang Xueying and Wu Fang have a good relationship, so Jiang Xueying cares about her quite a bit.

Wu Fang was skeptical, but seeing that Jiang Xueying was indeed feeling better, she took a couple of bites and actually felt quite refreshed.

"Yang Jun, why isn't your class monitor coming to find you?"

Wei Wen suddenly spoke up and asked a question.

After boarding the bus, Xu Yan was thinking of sitting with Yang Jun, but Wei Wen beat her to it. She had no choice but to sit on the other side. However, she still came over to find Yang Jun twice during the journey, for important business, to ask him to help her find out if all the classmates had arrived.

Yang Jun looked at her speechlessly: "You care about other people? Do you even know our class monitor?"

Although Wei Wen was his dance teacher, this girl was really sharp-tongued, making him want to say a few words to her.

"I think your class monitor just likes to boss you around. You should listen to her less in the future."

Yang Jun rolled his eyes, then closed them to rest. He was too tired to talk.

Jiang Xueying looked at the two of them with amusement, wondering what was wrong with them. Sometimes they could chat quite a bit, and other times they just wouldn't get along.

She gazed at the night view under the starry sky outside the window and remained silent for a moment.

Around 10 p.m., the train finally stopped, and Yang Jun and the others arrived at their destination.

"Everyone, please stick close to me for now. We'll rest here on the platform tonight and set off again early tomorrow morning."

The platform wasn't in the city, so there was no way to get supplies or anything like that.

Yang Jun and his team were led by Professor Liu Xueming, who teaches philology and has a very gentle personality.

Perhaps it was because of his youth that he led the team on several occasions.

Aside from the first time he led them, Shen Tang has been asked to leave now, so he can no longer lead them.

As a leading figure in history and a pinnacle of ancient literary history, Shen Tang maintains connections with numerous archaeological teams and is frequently invited to participate in archaeological work. (End of Chapter)
