Quick Travel to the Clouds

Chapter 172 World of Ages 4

In the afternoon, Yun Chu asked Aunt Xiu if he could exchange some vegetables or something.

Aunt Xiu agreed, since they had a lot of vegetables grown at home.

When he arrived at Aunt Xiu's house, Yun Chu picked cucumbers, bitter gourds, pumpkins, winter melons, and beans, and these things only cost him three cents.

Because there were a lot of dishes, Aunt Xiu asked her seventeen-year-old daughter Wang Yu to carry Yun Chu to the Youth League Home.

"Yun Zhiqing, how old are you?" Wang Yu asked.

"Fifteen."

"He's two years younger than me." But he's half a head taller than her.

"Where are you from?"

"From Beijing."

"What is Beijing like?" Wang Yu asked curiously.

Yun Chu told Wang Yu what Beijing was like.

"I hope I can go to Beijing once in the future." Wang Yu said.

"Study hard, and you'll have the chance to go to Beijing."

Wang Yu shook his head and said, "I'm not good at studying."

She stopped studying after the third year of junior high school because she just couldn't continue studying.

When they returned to the Youth League Home, Yun Chu took out three White Rabbit candies and gave them to Wang Yu, "Thank you for helping to deliver them."

"White Rabbit Milk Candy!" Wang Yu's eyes lit up, "Thank you."

"You are welcome."

After Wang Yu left, Zhu Yu asked, "Did you change it at Aunt Xiu's house?"

"Correct."

"Yes, there are so many dishes, they can last for several days."

"If you want to grow vegetables, you can open up a vegetable patch and grow your own vegetables when the time comes. This way you can save a little."

"Did you borrow that hoe from the brigade?"

"Well, if you need it, go borrow it from the brigade."

"Okay." After Yun Chu asked, he went to prepare dinner.

When Yun Mu came back from collecting firewood, Yun Chu had already borrowed a hoe and was cultivating the land.

"Brother, I'm back. The food is in the cupboard. Go and eat."

"What are you doing?"

"Open up a vegetable field and plant some vegetables."

"Then I'll go eat first, and then come to help after dinner."

"No, I can do it alone."

Yun Mu went to eat.

The other old educated youth were also eating.

Wang Cheng said with envy: "It's great to have a younger sister."

Guo Wangming: "Not everyone's sister is as sensible as Yun Mu's sister."

"My sister is only one year younger than me, but she has a bad temper, just like a little ancestor."

"I'm not good at anything, but I'm number one at losing my temper."

Pan Yichuan: "I don't have a sister, only a naughty brother who always fights with me for toys and food."

"If you can't win the fight, you'll just cry and make a fuss."

"Every time my mom and grandma tell me, as an older brother, to give in to my younger brother."

Thinking about it brings tears of bitterness.

Yun Chu, who was at the reclamation site, heard clearly what Pan Yichuan and the others said.

I feel that no matter in which life, parents will always give way to the older ones.

But fortunately, she was an only child and did not have this worry.

This kind of thing happens when you visit relatives.

Her parents will support her, regardless of size.

Suddenly I missed her parents a little.

Yun Chu shook his head, put his thoughts behind him, and continued to cultivate the vegetable field.

After Yun Mu finished his meal, he wanted to help with the reclamation, but Yun Chu borrowed a hoe, so Yun Chu asked Yun Mu to fetch water.

Yun Mu filled the water tank again, and Yun Chu’s vegetable patch was almost cultivated.

Chai Min and Ling Yuchen went to collect firewood together and came back.

Seeing the vegetable field that Yun Chu had cultivated, Chai Min was surprised and asked, "Is this a cultivated vegetable field?"

"Correct."

"If you want to cultivate the land, you can go to the brigade to borrow a hoe. It will also be convenient for you to eat vegetables and so on."

Chai Min looked at Ling Yuchen, "Ling Yuchen, do you want to reclaim the land together?"

"Okay." Ling Yuchen nodded.

He had some money on him, but not much. Something had happened at home, so he had to save what he could.

Save the money and see if you can find an opportunity to find the place where your grandfather was sent to visit.

"Yun Chu, can you teach us when the time comes? We don't know how to farm." Chai Min said.

"No problem. I have already changed the vegetable seeds. I will give you half of them when the time comes."

"Thanks." Chai Min said, "Then let's go cook."

Chai Min and Ling Yuchen ate together. They paid rent and rented Yun Chu's small iron pot to cook.

Yunchu collected 10 cents every month, and they each contributed 5 cents.

When you cook with someone, you can take turns and the other person can take a break, so it’s not that tiring.

Chai Min cooked yesterday, and today it is Ling Yuchen's turn to cook.

Ling Yuchen didn’t know how to cook, so he had to ask Chai Min for help and only then did he manage to cook the meal.

While eating the food he cooked, Ling Yuchen secretly made up his mind that he had to learn how to cook.

It's really too unpalatable.

In order not to waste food, Chai Min and Ling Yuchen finished the meal even though it tasted bad.

But in the middle of the night, the two of them had diarrhea. It was Yun Chu who gave them medicine and they stopped having diarrhea.

The next day, Yun Chu also made porridge for Chai Min and Ling Yuchen.

Yun Chu said: "If you feel at ease, you can leave the food with me in the future, and I will cook for you together. Of course, you have to learn it too."

"After we learn how to cook, we can make it edible. Then we can take turns to cook."

Ling Yuchen and Chai Min nodded immediately, fearing that if they were a second late, Yun Chu would regret it.

Ling Yuchen: "I'll leave the food for you in a while."

"I'll leave mine for you too," said Chai Min.

"it is good."

Yun Chu thought that they were all children, so he could just help them. Besides, Chai Min and Ling Yuchen were both good people.

After working a day, Yun Chu assigned tasks when it was time to get off work.

"Today, my brother and Ling Yuchen went to collect firewood, and Chai Min followed me to farm and learn how to cook."

"Tomorrow, brother Chai Min will fetch water together, and Ling Yuchen will learn to cook from me, brother."

"Brother will learn to cook from me the day after tomorrow. Ling Yuchen and Chai Min will go collect firewood."

"When you are able to cook, we will redistribute the daily tasks."

The three nodded, indicating that there was no problem.

"If we encounter special circumstances, we will reassign tasks at that time."

After Yun Chu made all the arrangements, Ling Yuchen and Yun Mu took the ropes and shoulder poles and went up the mountain.

Yun Chu and Chai Min started growing vegetables and soon planted a piece of vegetable field with vegetable seeds.

Yun Chu also planted half a field of green onions and half a field of leeks at the edge of the vegetable garden.

Afterwards, Yun Chu taught Chai Min how to make pasta. Chai Min knew how to make dumplings, but didn't know how to knead the dough.

Yun Chu patiently taught Chai Min, then prepared the cabbage stuffing and started making dumplings.

When Yun Mu and Ling Yuchen came back, the water had just boiled.

Chai Min smiled and said, "You guys are back just in time. We were just about to cook dumplings."

"Let's go put the firewood down first." Yun Mu said, and he and Ling Yuchen went to put down the firewood.

After washing their faces and hands, they waited for the dumplings to come out of the pot.

Eating the white flour dumplings, Yun Mu and his friends had happy looks on their faces, and they sighed in their hearts: These dumplings are so delicious, I feel full of energy.

If Yun Chu knew about their sighs, she would definitely complain in her heart, wondering if they had the strength to lift it, as she had added qi-boosting medicine into the filling.

After eating, it took more than half an hour for the big pot to be emptied, and Yun Chu went to boil hot water.

Everyone takes turns to boil water.

After washing up, everyone went back to bed to rest.

A month passed like this, and Yun Chu and the others had already adapted to life here.

Five days ago, they received a letter from their grandfather, informing them where their parents were sent to, Pinghe Farm in Yulin City, Shaanxi Province.
