Chapter 43: Returning to Old Haunts

  "Xiao Jun, stop bragging, it's as if you were the one who made the exam paper."

  Nguy?n Bích Th? doesn't believe it.

  "Heh heh, whether it's a mule or a horse will be clear once you take it out for a walk!"

  Zheng and Liu Jincai were arguing, when a clear and pleasant voice came from outside the house.

  Liu Jun, Liu Yan, off to school...

  It turns out that this little girl is also an alumna? How did I not notice it in my previous life? To be honest, Yan Fei looks extremely beautiful, with a delicate and lovely appearance that is hard to describe. Although she is only ten years old and her figure has not yet developed, anyone who sees her can guess that she will definitely become a beauty when she grows up. However, at the age of 40, Liu Jun's mindset is not so depraved as to have ulterior motives towards this little girl. After all, he is not a lustful demon who would kill anyone. It's just because of his relationship with Yan Yuchen that he has a few more points of affection for Yan Fei.

  "Just a moment, I'm coming."

  Ruan Bixiu got angry and scolded with a smile: "Good! You're so young and you've already married a wife and forgotten your mother!"

  Yan Fei wore a snow-white blouse today, with a gray polka-dot suspender skirt, braided two long pigtails, and her two eyes were rotating black and shiny, beautiful to an unbearable degree.

  At the moment they met, Liu Jun's baozi almost fell from his mouth.

  It is said that some people are born with it, and the tiger and mouse are different. In Liu Jun's view, this stuff is also innate, and from a young age, it has shown the ultimate male killer's nature.

  Got it, with beauty accompanying me, I really have to go to school today.

  Walking out of Building No. 2, Liu Jun appreciated the unadorned beauty of Qing Shan Ridge, occasionally comparing it to the lovely and naturally beautiful little beauty beside him, feeling very pleased. Turning a corner, he saw several young people practicing wrestling, sweating profusely, while a man in his thirties stood by, pointing and instructing with a stern expression.

  As they approached, the leader nodded and greeted Jie Ying.

  On the way to work at Jiaoyubu with everyone.

  Jie Ying obviously also knew this coach and smiled in response: "Director Liang, training soldiers."

  Liu Jun asked: "Auntie Jie, what are they doing? Practicing martial arts here so early in the morning?"

  "Comrade Liang, head of the county revolutionary committee's security department, those young people were all staff members of the security department."

  Liu Jun nodded and suddenly walked over to Liang Kezhang and said: "Director Liang, how about I exercise with you every day from now on?"

  Liāng Kēzhǎng smiled and nodded, asking: "Little friend, what's your name?"

  "My name is Liu Jun, I am the son of Liu Jincai."

  "Oh, so you're Director Liu's son. As long as you persist in getting up early every day, your body will definitely be trained well."

  "Thank you Uncle Liang, I also want to practice wrestling like these uncles."

  This isn't a sudden impulse, as Liu Jun has been quite fond of sports since his previous life. Because he loves to eat meat, especially fatty meat. If he doesn't exercise regularly, he'll become a super fatso.

  Exercising is also a group activity. The more people there are, the more energetic it becomes.

  "Alright," said Liang Kezhang with a smile, "you also know that this is a grappling match?"

  "I've heard people say so before. Uncle Liang must be a master."

  Since you have a mind to learn from a master, you should be low-key and can't show off. Hand over a high hat, it's a bargain that doesn't cost anything.

  Liango's face lit up with delight, and he nodded his head in approval, exclaiming: "The children of leaders are indeed different, they have good family upbringing."

  Liu Jun saw that he was all smiles, with a somewhat fawning and flattering tone, and in his heart, he slightly despised him, thinking that he was unlikely to be a strict teacher. Who would have thought that later on, this very wrong judgment brought him quite some suffering.

  Arrived at Minzhu Primary School, Teacher Xie stood waiting at the classroom door.

  Yan Fei was one year older than Liu Jun, waved goodbye and hopped away to the third grade class 1 classroom.

  The teacher led Liu Jun to the side of the podium and solemnly introduced him to the whole class: "Classmates, this is a new student named Liu Jun. Everyone should help him more in the future."

  Classmates were also friendly and applauded one after another.

  Liu Jun, you sit in this seat.

  Liu Jun glanced over, fourth row fifth seat, good, probably because of his height, he wasn't assigned to the first row. Reading "Pride and Prejudice" or "War and Peace" under the teacher's eyelids isn't exactly a great idea.

  The first day of class was uneventful, and Teacher Xie didn't know how Liu Jun had performed at his previous school, Liujiashan Elementary. Thinking that the teaching quality in a rural elementary school must be poor, she saw that he spent most of the class with his head down staring at his desk, rarely looking up at the blackboard, and assumed that he was struggling to keep up due to poor foundation. She didn't ask him any questions in class, not wanting to embarrass him.

  Fortunately, otherwise she would have called Liu Jun to answer questions. Liu was absent-minded and couldn't even figure out what she was asking about. He would definitely be tongue-tied and embarrassed.

  After school, San Jie and Yan Fei came together to find Liu Jun to go home together. Although Yan Yu Cheng kept saying that he wanted to marry his daughter to me, when it came down to it, the girls automatically stood on the same front line.

  School lets out early, and in June the sun sets late. Liu Junke didn't want to go home so soon. Every day he's carrying English or Russian books, or else it's classical masterpieces, "The Twenty-four Histories", and some of them are getting old.

  From today on, Liu Jun officially became a street person in Xiangyang County. In his previous life, he had lived in this small county town for ten years and was familiar with every corner of it. Now that he has been reborn as a human being, he still has the urge to revisit old places.

  "Third sister, Feifei, let's not go home so early, let's go look at books!"

  The old street's bookstall and beef noodles are Liu Jun's most profound childhood memories.

  Liu Yan hesitated and said: "I'm afraid it's not good, going back late will be scolded."

  Yan Fei looks lively and cheerful, but she's actually a good girl. Although she really wants to go see the books, she agrees with Liu Yan instead.

  "Yes, let's go back, otherwise my mom will scold me."

  "Oh dear, what's there to be afraid of? It's okay if we head back a bit later."

  Liu Jun pulled Yan Fei's hand without saying a word and headed towards the old street.

  Many young classmates stared in surprise at Liu Jun pulling Yan Fei's hand, giggling on the side. At that time, primary school students were more separated by gender than high school students, and boys and girls rarely spoke together, let alone openly holding hands like this, which was simply outrageous.

  Yan Fei's face turned red with embarrassment, and she hastily broke free from his hand, running to Liu Yan's side. Her eyes were filled with a mischievous glint. Liu Yan was also young at heart, relying on the idea that "the law does not blame the crowd", and agreed as well. Anyway, they would be scolded together.

  This trip to the old street was very delightful, not only did I read several books, but also treated Liu Yan and Yan Fei to ice cream (eight cents a stick of milk popsicle, the highest-end cold drink at that time). In Yan Fei's eyes looking at Liu Jun, there were a few more points of closeness and admiration. It was considered letting Liu Jun experience what it's like to be a "rich young master". As for Liu Yan's inquiry "where did you get the money", it was easily brushed off. Thinking in my heart, I must think of ways to make some money, or else with less than five dollars left at home, I won't be able to play the role of "big boss" many times.

  If he could move Fang Wentao's small repair shop to the street and cooperate with him, the prospect of "profit" would be much better than being stuck in that small place in Hongqi Commune. After all, radios, tape recorders and other electrical appliances are quite common in the county seat, and even black-and-white TVs are not unheard of. The market is quite large. Liu Jun was confident that when it came to radio repair, no one in Yang County could surpass him.

  Back at the county revolutionary committee, the sky had already darkened, and Yan Fei was a little scared.

  "Yú Jùn, it's all your fault, this time I'm going to get scolded."

  Seeing the worry on her small face, Liu Jun couldn't help but feel a great deal of sympathy for her. He smiled and comforted her, saying: "Don't worry, nothing will happen. We didn't do anything bad. When Auntie asks you later, just tell her I brought you along. The three of us are together, it's fine."

  Yan Fei nodded slightly with some uncertainty.

  Back to Building No. 2, just in time to see the door of Yan's house open, Wang Youfu smiled all over his face, nodding and bowing as he backed out, still holding something in his hand. This old guy has a thick skin, coming to apologize so quickly.

  Yan Yucheng naturally couldn't see him off at the door, but Yan Ying's face appeared at the entrance with a smile.

  Wang Youfu felt as if his entire body had become several ounces lighter, and he hastily bid farewell to Yan Jiu and left with a smile on his face. It seemed that although Yan Yucheng hadn't accepted his gift, he hadn't given him the cold shoulder either, and might have even offered some words of comfort in an official tone.

  Liu Jun smiled in his heart.

  Liu Bang's story about Yong Chi had an effect indeed.
