Chapter 24 Sun the Peddler Becomes the Biggest Winner

Sun Xiaogu left her husband's house early in the morning to return to her parents' home. It took her three hours to get back to Sunjia Village, bringing a chicken, a duck, and some dried bamboo shoots. Sun Bomin and Sun Ershu killed the chicken and duck, and Su and Sun Ershen cooked braised chicken, duck with dried bamboo shoots, steamed grass carp, and stir-fried seasonal vegetables.

Zhou Miaomiao saw so many dishes and drooled, saying, "Wow, the food at my uncle's house is so delicious. Mom, I want to live at my uncle's house."

At first glance, you can tell that she is a greedy girl. No wonder she has a round head, a round face, and a round body. She is much fatter than the average rural girl.

Sun Bomin smiled naively: "Okay, Miaomiao will stay with her uncle and won't go back to Zhou's house."

This made everyone laugh, but no one could take the little girl's words seriously.

As soon as it was time for dinner, Uncle Sun, Aunt Sun and Sun Dingguang arrived on time.

Uncle Sun was always very friendly. When he saw a big fish, he shouted, "Sister, is this the big fish from the village head's house? I've been craving for it for a long time."

Zhou Erlang and Sun Xiaogu called them "Third Brother" and "Third Sister-in-law", while Zhou Dabao and his siblings called them "Third Uncle" and "Third Aunt".

Aunt Sun rolled her eyes at Uncle Sun San and scolded him with a smile, "Where were you just now? You were nowhere to be seen working, but you were the most enthusiastic about eating."

Uncle Sun was not afraid of what the eldest sister said, he laughed. Aunt Sun was not afraid either, she just did whatever the head of the family did, it was all the head of the family's fault.

Guang'er felt embarrassed and sat down hesitantly next to his second and third brothers.

The breakfast had been digested long ago, and seeing the sumptuous lunch, the family had no time to talk and had to eat quickly.

Sun Shan always eats slowly. He sat next to He Shuyu and drank a sip of water slowly before picking up some food and eating.

Brother Yu picked up a piece of chicken and gave it to Sun Shan, saying with a smile, "Shanzi, by the time you finish one bite, I'll have finished the whole bowl. If you don't pick up some more food, it will be gone soon."

Sun Shan shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid. I still have some in my bowl." There was indeed still a lot in the bowl. Sitting next to Sun Shan was Uncle He, who had already filled the bowl for him.

Uncle Sun said with a smile, "Brother, I don't know who Shanzi looks like. He eats very slowly, one bite at a time, and he looks quite polite." Looking at his two sons, who were wolfing down the food, they were like reincarnated evil spirits.

Sun Bomin took a bite of the vegetables, nodded and said, "I don't know either. If you take your time, you won't be full if you go to the banquet."

Uncle He didn't think so. He said to Sun Shan, "Eat slowly. It's good for your stomach and intestines and it keeps you healthy."

Yu Ge'er patted Sun Shan's head and said jokingly, "Hey, I know who Shanzi looks like. He looks like my eldest brother, my father. My eldest brother also eats very slowly. After the whole family has finished eating, he is the only one who is still eating slowly."

This remark made everyone laugh.

Aunt Sun at the women's table smiled and said, "Jin'er said that all his classmates at the academy eat very slowly, which makes him eat slowly too."

This made everyone laugh even more.

The meal was devoured in no time, and everyone was very satisfied. The three sisters-in-law of the Su family cleared the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash them.

Guyu served everyone a cup of hot tea.

The boys played together, while Yu Ge'er took Zhou Dabao and Zhou Miaomiao to see the big fish they had caught this morning.

The three brothers of the Sun family prepared to kill chickens, ducks and geese because their eldest sister said she would invite the village chief and his family to dinner tonight.

Grandpa Sun Shan had no brothers, but he had an older sister who married into the next town. However, she died in childbirth due to complications, and the Sun family has no contact with the people over there.

The closest relatives of Sun Shan’s family are the village chief’s family, as they have the same great-grandfather.

Aunt Sun took two pieces of cloth and a piece of pink printed cloth from the inner room, and called the Zhou brothers and sisters in.

After measuring Zhou Miaomiao, she said, "Little sister, this pink cloth should be enough to make Miaomiao a new set of clothes."

Aunt Sun took the cloth with a smile on her face, touched it, sniffed it, and said happily, "Big sister is so thoughtful that she even bought cloth for me."

Zhou Miaomiao was also happy. She didn't see pink cloth very often, and she usually wore gray ones. She said sweetly, "Aunt, I like new clothes."

Aunt Sun touched her two pigtails and said lovingly, "I'm glad you like it. Here, this is the New Year's red envelope money given to you by your aunt and uncle. Take it."

He handed another one to Zhou Dabao and said with a smile, "Dabao, take it."

The brother and sister looked at A Niang, and after getting her approval, they happily took it and said thank you.

Aunt Sun gave Xiaomei Sun another two taels of silver: "Eldest sister and brother-in-law didn't buy anything, this little money is for you to celebrate the New Year."

Aunt Sun was not polite at all, she took it happily and said happily: "Hey, big sister, I'll take it, thank you."

Aunt Sun took out another tael and pointed at the cloth and said, "This tael is for you to buy cotton for winter clothes. Wear them warmly and don't be cold."

Zhou Erlang quickly refused and said embarrassedly: "Big sister, just bring us cloth, we will buy the cotton."

Sun Chunlan waved her hand and said, "Just take it if it's given to you. What my eldest, second, and third brothers have, you have too. Take it."

Sun Chunjiao took it happily and said with a smile: "Big sister still loves me."

Then he said to Uncle He: "Thank you, brother-in-law."

Uncle He waved his hand and said, "Chunlan and I live far away, so I'll ask you to take good care of my mother."

The two people quickly agreed.

Aunt Sun, who came in to serve tea, curled her lips after hearing this. She really wanted to roll her eyes at her sister-in-law's family. What do you mean by taking care of the mother-in-law? Are you asking for favors from her?

She would come back even if it was not a festival, and every time she would bring back a pound of unpalatable pastries. When she left, she would either catch chickens or ducks, and would stay in the house with her mother-in-law, and would definitely ask her for money.

Humph, I have never seen anyone so shameless, going back to his parents' home to beg for money all day long.

After putting down the tea, Aunt Sun went out angrily. Although it was my uncle who suffered the most, he was still our Sun family's property, and the Zhou family got a bargain for nothing.

Sun Xiaogu and Zhou Erlang packed up their things and put them aside. The couple looked at each other and were secretly happy.

Look at the two pieces of cloth my eldest sister bought. They are more than enough to make clothes for my own family. When the time comes, I can just pick up a piece and give it to my mother-in-law and father-in-law as a gift to show my filial piety, and I can save some money for the gift.

There is also a pink floral cloth for Miaomiao, which is rare not only in Sunjia Village but also in the county town. When Miaomiao wears it, she will definitely become the most beautiful girl in the whole village.

Weigh the three taels of silver in your hand. Oh, that's enough to cover Dabao's tuition for half a year. Hehe, if you really have no money, you can go back to your mother's home and borrow from her.

The couple were on the same channel, thinking the same thing, and laughing with their hands covering their mouths.

When Sun Chunlan comes to visit her parents, all relatives within the third mourning period in the village must visit her.

I left the things I brought from the provincial capital to my family, and only bought some gifts when I passed by Huangyang County.

Give a piece of meat, a bag of cake, and a bag of sugar. The old man will give 50 cents, and the child will give 5-10 cents.

Bring Mr. He and Mr. Yu to visit.

The relatives from Sunjia Village were also polite. They drank a cup of tea and asked to stay for dinner.

Aunt Sun always made excuses by saying that she had to go to the next house, and chatting for a cup of tea was enough.

When he came back, Yu Ge'er opened the red envelopes he had received, each of which contained only one or two cents.

He didn't mind, so he opened it, took it out, and led many of his cousins ​​to Sun the peddler's house to buy snacks.

As a result, Sun the peddler became the biggest winner, and all the money that Yu Ge'er earned went into his pocket.
