Age: My Small World

After returning to the city where he had first entered Shenyuan, Yang Jun didn't think much this time and immediately hitched a ride south.

However, when he arrived at Beihai Lake, which once belonged to the East, he couldn't help but turn around and take a look.

It must be said that Beihai truly deserves its title as the world's largest freshwater lake. Its water volume alone is one-fifth of that of the Earth. At first glance, it doesn't look like a lake at all, but rather like a boundless ocean.

This place is called a "sea," and its narrowest point is tens of kilometers wide, while its widest point is hundreds of kilometers wide. The only reason it is not called a sea is because it is a freshwater storage lake; otherwise, the name "North Sea" would be entirely true.

"The lake water quality is quite good, but I don't need any more."

Yang Jun sighed, looking at the desolate surrounding area. He longed to see the border line here, for this place once belonged to the East.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly stopped.

Yang Jun looked in one direction and saw some seal tracks there.

"No, shouldn't these things live in seawater?" This was something Yang Jun didn't know. The North Sea is home to the world's only freshwater seal, and there are quite a few of them these days.

So it's not too strange that he was able to see it.

Seeing such an amazing thing here, Yang Jun immediately became interested.

He stealthily approached the area where the seal had appeared, then deliberately dripped a drop of spiritual water into a shallow spot, and began to wait.

While waiting, he also prepared a fishing net, which he wove in the small world in just a short moment, with extremely high efficiency.

The effects of the spiritual water were undeniable. In no time, four or five small seals appeared in his field of vision. They followed the trail of the spiritual water and greedily drank the fresh water that was filled with it.

However, the baby seals realized they had been tricked when a fishing net was lowered into the water.

Four or five seals were caught at the same time and then began to struggle violently.

Even with the seals, weighing tens of kilograms, exerting their strength simultaneously, Yang Jun couldn't let go. His feet remained firmly planted, his arms like steel, and with a single pull, he lifted the seal up and flung it into the small world.

When the baby seal reappeared, it had arrived at its new home.

They adapted to this place almost instantly, because the water here contained spiritual water.

Yang Jun tried this method and succeeded several times, catching more than a dozen seals, almost forming a large seal family.

During this time, he also caught some fish species unique to the North Sea, but he put them into the "sea" of the small world. The water flow specially designed for raising fish was not very suitable for these fish to live in.

"almost."

Yang Jun wasn't a greedy person. These dozen or so seals were enough to satisfy his curiosity. Moreover, with the nourishment of the spiritual water, there was no doubt that these seals could establish a huge seal family. Perhaps he would even have to step in to curb the reproduction of the seal family at that time.

After leaving Beihai, the distance home is much shorter.

A day later, Yang Jun reappeared in the capital.

I went to find Lao Zhu immediately.

Zhu Yong breathed a sigh of relief at his return, but then frowned again after hearing him explain that the contact person on the other side was dead.

"Oh, what a pity."

That was a line he had painstakingly laid out, and it died because of an undeserved disaster.

Although Yang Jun said he had avenged him, Zhu Yong still couldn't let it go.

"Forget it, you should go home now. Leave the rest to me."

Yang Jun has already brought him tremendous benefits, and Old Zhu will not forget his contributions.

"Director, I'll head back now."

Yang Jun was eager to go home. But when he returned to the compound, he found that no one was home.

It's only afternoon now; Mom and Xiaoyuer are probably still at work and haven't come back yet.

He simply started cooking ahead of time to wait for them.

After a flurry of activity, he specially cooked several more delicious dishes. He even slaughtered a large fish that he had caught from the North Sea. The fish meat even had a faint sweet taste. Combined with the cooking of spiritual water, the sour fish soup was extremely delicious. Yang Jun almost swallowed his tongue after eating it.

"Indeed, good ingredients taste completely different."

"Little Fish is pregnant, so I need to make her a fish bone soup to nourish her body."

In addition, there were dumplings, which my mother loves the most. He made dozens of them, and because he was very generous with the meat, these dumplings actually looked more like flat, large steamed buns.

By the time the pot of rice was cooked, it was just the right time for the two of them to go home.

At the entrance of the compound, Xiaoyuer happened to run into Li Xiaohua, who was returning home after buying groceries.

"Mom, you went grocery shopping? I was just saying I'd only go to the field to pick some cabbages today."

Little Fish was watching the path beneath his feet as he talked.

Li Xiaohua quickly came over and took her hand, saying, "Little Yu'er, you have to be careful, the road in the yard isn't safe."

"Don't worry, Mother, I'm only four months pregnant."

Although she was four months pregnant, Xiaoyuer didn't show many signs of pregnancy outwardly, especially when she was wearing loose clothing.

However, her slightly protruding belly already indicated the situation, and coupled with her cautious demeanor, her colleagues already knew she was pregnant, so they took extra care of her on a daily basis.

"Hehe, Mom will make you some chicken soup later. I noticed yesterday that the old hen stopped laying eggs; it must be too old. It's perfect to kill it and make soup."

Actually, Li Xiaohua felt a little guilty because she didn't go to work this afternoon, but instead went to Huyang Village to visit her granddaughter.

After all, Yang Jun hadn't been back for a month or two, so naturally, she, as his mother, wanted to go and see her other daughter-in-law.

Little Fish waved his hand: "Mom, I'm tired of drinking chicken soup every day, let's skip it today."

"Shall I get you a different one?"

During pregnancy, most women probably eat various nourishing soups; it seems that all mothers in the world are the same.

Little Fish smiled helplessly and said, "Fine, I'll just have soup then."

When the two returned home and saw the open door, and then Yang Jun bustling in and out, they almost simultaneously wiped their eyes.

"Brother Xiaoshan!"

Xiaoyuer reacted immediately, disregarding her pregnancy, and ran to hug Yang Jun.

"Little Fish." Yang Jun wasn't surprised. He patted Little Fish's head and called out "Mother" again.

Li Xiaohua's eyes also became slightly moist, and then she nodded to him.

The bond between mother and child is so strong that there's no need to elaborate further.

The little girl buried her head and cried for two minutes before raising her head and then letting go, somewhat embarrassed.

"Brother Xiaoshan, when did you get back?"

"I've been back for a while now. I've just finished cooking and am waiting for you to come home and eat."

"Alright, go wait for dinner. I even made you a pot of fresh fish soup." (End of Chapter)
