Chapter 27: He is usually honest and simple, but I think he is just pretending

Sun Bomin packed everything he could into Grandun Sun's carriage.

Uncle He quickly stopped him: "Brother, leave these at home. It's very convenient for us to buy them in the city."

But I couldn’t let my eldest brother pack all the edibles at home, so I specially packed a bag of glutinous rice for him, saying that the glutinous rice in Sunjia Village was particularly sticky and best for making pastries.

Yu Geer laughed and said carelessly, "Uncle, don't bother with the rice. It's too heavy for us to carry.

"It's best not to bring anything with you, or the carriage will be full and empty. That won't work.

Sun Bomin scratched his head and said, "Sister really likes to eat home-cooked food. You have a car, so it's very convenient."

Aunt Sun quickly took down the heavy things and said with a smile, "I won't take the things I bought in the city. It's rare to take back things that are not available in the city. Also, don't give me too many things. A few sacks of oranges are enough. I'll take them back as gifts and that'll be great."

Don’t worry about the cured duck, dried bamboo shoots, and dried vegetables. They are available in the city. Just buy whatever you want to eat.

Sun Shan walked around the backyard and picked up two pots of tangerine trees, about half a meter tall, from the open space in the backyard. He put them in a bamboo basket and hung them with golden tangerines. Sun Shan specially tied a red cloth on the bamboo basket, which looked festive.

After many times of pruning and trimming, the citrus trees are deliberately made to grow small and exquisite.

He brought the two potted plants to his aunt and said in a baby voice, "Aunt, these two pots of four-season oranges are given to you by me. When the Chinese New Year comes, the oranges on the trees will be even redder. You can hang some red paper on them and put them in your room or on the counter. They will look festive and prosperous."

Guangnan Province is similar to Guangdong in the previous life, and there is a custom of visiting flower streets and buying oranges during the New Year.

Two years ago, I went to the county town with Sun Boming and found that the citrus potted plants here were not eye-catching, and the fruits were sparse. I had no desire to buy any at first glance.

So I planted the annual oranges and made potted plants to see if they would work. The result was good. Two years later, the four-season oranges bore fruit and could be used for viewing.

Before Aunt Sun could react, Yu Ge'er screamed, "Wow, these two orange trees have so many fruits, but they are too short and don't look grand at all."

Sun Shan rolled his eyes at his cousin and retorted, "Cousin Yu, I grew them just like this, small and beautiful when placed on the table.

"Aunt, you must take it back and put it on your cousin's desk. It will bring you good luck and he will definitely pass the imperial examination next year. If he doesn't like it, put it on the counter of the shop. You will make a lot of money."

Aunt Sun was so moved when she looked at the two pots of kumquats. Regardless of how Shanzi cultivated them, her love for him was not in vain.

She hugged the frail Sun Shan and said, "Oh, my Shanzi, I love him so much. I will definitely bring him back to the city and put him on your eldest cousin's desk so that he knows how much Shanzi misses him."

Not only was Aunt Sun moved, but Uncle He was also moved. A 5-year-old kid could think of giving gifts, and giving gifts for good luck.

Uncle He touched Sun Shan's little head and said with a smile, "Shanzi is amazing. He can grow oranges by himself, and he makes them so delicate and beautiful. Your eldest cousin will definitely like these golden little oranges very much."

Sun Shan said embarrassedly: "Uncle, as long as aunt likes it, that's fine."

Yu Ge'er teased, "Shan Zi, I've been good to you, why do you want to give it to your cousin instead of me?"

Sun Shan said bluntly: "Cousin Yu, if you also take the exam for the scholar, I will definitely give you a bigger one than these two."

These words pierced Yu Ge'er's heart. He was talking about something irrelevant. He knew that he was a poor student, but he still said such hurtful words.

Yu Ge'er snatched Sun Shan from Sun Dagu's arms and tickled his armpits. Sun Shan was ticklish, small and weak, so he couldn't resist and cried loudly.

The happier Yu Ge'er laughed.

Uncle Sun Er and his wife, Uncle Sun San and his wife, brought their children and brought over the so-called local specialties of Sunjia Village.

The large yard was bustling with activity. De Ge'er came running in, and when he saw his cousin Yu and Shanzi playing, he rushed over and joined their playful group.

Uncle Sun yelled angrily, "Be careful not to get Yu-ge'er."

Our own children are careless and will get hurt if they do. But it’s different for the He family. If they get hurt, the old lady of the He family will say that the Sun family has no rules.

Aunt Sun San had sharp eyes. Seeing the two pots of festive New Year oranges, she said exaggeratedly, "Oh, big sister, where did you get the New Year oranges from? They are so pretty."

The bamboo basket that holds the orange tree is tied with a red cloth with a bow, which looks festive.

Su was very proud and wanted to say that it was her son who did it. But she was dull and didn't dare to speak in front of her sister-in-law, so she had to remain silent.

Aunt Sun picked up one of the pots, which was full of fruits. She had no idea how Shanzi grew the fruit.

With a smile on his face, he said: "It was given to us by Shanzi. Our Shanzi is very capable. He can grow citrus and harvest the fruits."

He glanced at Sun Bomin and asked, "Brother, was it planted by Shanzi?"

In fact, Aunt Sun was not sure who planted it, but no matter what, she was happy because it was given by Shanzi.

Sun Bomin smiled and said, "He grew them himself. After two years, only two pots bore fruit. I never thought he would grow them specially for you, big sister."

When Aunt Sun heard this, she became even happier and laughed so hard that crow's feet appeared on her face.

Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun looked at each other and curled their lips. They didn't believe that a 5-year-old boy could grow citrus potted plants. It must have been made by the eldest brother and sister-in-law themselves and asked Shanzi to give it to them so that the eldest sister would remember Shanzi's kindness and support him in the future.

Humph! I never thought that my elder brother and his wife were such people. They are usually honest and simple, but I think they are just pretending!

Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun were simple-minded. When they saw two pots of citrus trees full of citrus fruits, they liked them very much.

Uncle Sun said with a smile: "Shanzi is really amazing. He can plant flowers and grass at such a young age. He will definitely be good at taking care of crops when he grows up."

Aunt Sun also echoed the couple. In the couple's mind, being able to grow crops well and harvest more rice is more important than anything else.

Sun Boming also thought so. Shanzi seemed to have a talent for crops and might become a good guardian of the surrounding area in the future.

When Mrs. Su saw her husband's silly smile, she was furious. My husband Shanzi will not farm in the future. He wants to follow my eldest aunt to the capital.

It would be best to work in the city, find a wife from the city, and settle down in the city. No matter what you grow, Shanzi must become a city dweller, not a country dweller.

Grandma Huang was also happy that her little grandson was so filial to her eldest daughter. She touched Sun Shan who had escaped from Yu Ge'er's arms and said lovingly, "Our Shanzi is different from other kids in the village. He is very patient and calm. He will definitely have a bright future."

Sun Shan lowered his head and said nothing, feeling so embarrassed. Grandma's praise was too explicit and he didn't know what to say.
