Age: My Small World

Taking advantage of his free time today, Yang Jun found someone to replace the doors and windows for him, and then went to the lumber mill to order a few sets of furniture from Master Guo.

Master Guo is 77 years old this year, and he probably won't be able to work at the timber factory for much longer. He himself has said that he will retire after working until the Chinese New Year this year.

These days, living to eighty is difficult, so the lumber mill treats him like a treasure, and he does less work now.

It wasn't until everyone gradually returned home in the evening that they learned there was a new neighbor in the backyard.

Yang Jun, however, was at home with several heated brick beds.

The doors and windows have been replaced, and now he needs to get some newspapers or something to cover up the windows.

These days, fabric is precious. If he were to use it to make curtains or something, he would definitely be criticized by the people in the compound, so there's no point in bothering with it.

There are four rooms, three of which have kang beds (heated brick beds), and the remaining one appears to be a storage room.

Yang Jun tidied everything up, and then left it like this. The room will only look decent once all the furniture and other things are in place.

Because there were many people and distractions in the compound, the furniture he ordered was not too extravagant; it was all ordinary.

Even so, it's bound to attract attention, since these days, having a child with thirty-two legs is considered quite good, and Yang Jun's is almost double that.

He thought it would be better to bring the goods in at night.

He ate something quick and easy to make do, and had no intention of going out to get to know the neighbors. He figured he'd leave that to his mother after she moved in, since he wasn't really good at socializing.

Unbeknownst to Yang Jun, many families in the compound were talking about him at that moment.

"This new neighbor doesn't seem like someone to mess with. Not only did Director Zhang personally bring him over, but he also took over four rooms at once. Now there are no other houses left in our courtyard."

"I remember Xue Daming from the front yard had his eye on these rooms, right? He was even thinking of giving each of his two sons a room, but now that's all gone."

"That's for sure, I bet the Xue family is cursing them out."

forecourt.

Just as people had guessed, Xue Daming of the Xue family was currently cursing angrily. Not only was his new house gone, but his two sons had also stolen his money. The two bastards were thinking of taking the money out to play, which made Xue Daming glare at them angrily.

"You two little bastards, do you really think I won't mess with you? You even dared to steal money, I'll beat you to death!" Xue Daming pulled out his belt and was about to start hitting you.

At that moment, his wife glared at him.

"Wait!"

"What's wrong, honey?" Xue Daming stopped instinctively, because he knew what the consequences would be if he didn't stop.

"You really want to beat your son to death? Xue Daming, if you didn't not give your son pocket money, would they steal your money? Besides, it's perfectly normal for your son to take your money."

Xue Daming rolled his eyes: "What a load of rubbish! They're just stealing. If we don't curb this habit, they'll really start petty theft on the streets one day."

It's clear that Xue Daming is a very upright person.

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Let's talk about the house instead."

His wife, not wanting to waste time arguing with him, quickly steered the conversation back to a more serious topic.

"The houses have already been distributed to people, what other options are there?"

Xue Daming was indeed very angry about Zhang Lijun's actions. His family had been applying for the house for several years, but there had been no progress until Yang Jun moved in.

"How about we go and talk to that new tenant and ask him to give us a room? Anyway, it's too spacious for him to live in four rooms by himself, we don't need that many." The woman only mentioned it briefly before Xue Daming stopped her.

"You need to be more careful. That young man looks capable, and Director Zhang personally led the group here. Have you ever seen her lead anyone before?"

"That's true. But what about our house? Our two kids are getting bigger and bigger."

"What else can we do? I'll go ask Director Zhang about that back room. Anyway, it's the only room left in this compound."

The "reverse house" he mentioned wasn't a normal house, but a house that was completely shaded, so much so that it received no sunlight all year round. It had a gloomy atmosphere, and living there for a long time would definitely be very uncomfortable.

But they can't worry about that now. There's no room for the two brothers in the house anymore, so one of them has to make a sacrifice.

Yang Jun was unaware that someone had been eyeing his house for a long time, and even if he had known, it wouldn't have mattered. Did they really expect him to give up the house?
He always locked the door in his room before entering his own little world, so he spent the night sleeping in the bamboo house.

The next day, after washing up, he went out, but before leaving, he sent a letter home, saying that he would explain the current situation when he returned home that evening.

Today I came to the planning office again, and this time I went straight to the third floor.

He sat comfortably at his desk in the spacious office, and thinking about the empty area next door, he wished his team members could fill in the gaps as soon as possible.

Fortunately, he didn't have to wait too long; in the afternoon, the first group member came into view.

"Hello? I'm here to report for duty."

A girl walked in, initially looking puzzled, but then boldly began to speak.

Judging from the spirited look in her eyes, you can tell she's a career-oriented woman.

"come in."

Yang Jun sat there calmly, displaying a composure reminiscent of Old Zhu.

"Team leader, this is my information, and also the letter you wrote to me."

As a member personally invited by Yang Jun, she still felt somewhat honored.

Yang Jun took it and glanced at it casually. In fact, he had already memorized the information of these members.

The girl's name is Yu Yang. She graduated from Northeastern University of Technology with a major in radar, so it can be said that she is highly professional.

Yes, this major is not easy; it's beyond what ordinary people can imagine. In fact, it's even more difficult for a girl to study this major.

Yang Jun felt that she could go directly to a research institute, and he didn't know why she wanted to come to this planning office.

"Comrade Yu Yang, welcome to the team."

After reviewing the documents, Yang Jun smiled and shook hands briefly with Yu Yang.

This was his first member.

As expected, the remaining four people arrived one after another and all happily started working.

Because Yang Jun was actually a relative newcomer, Lao Qi took care of all the accommodations and onboarding arrangements for these members, truly showing that the director was putting his mind on the team leader's work.

Therefore, Qi Changyu asked Yang Jun to treat him to a meal.

This talk of a meal was just talk; Qi Changyu probably wouldn't actually go. (End of Chapter)
