Chapter 30 Sun Shan is an illegal resident

Sun Shan was half asleep when Su woke him up. After washing up, he sat in the main room half asleep. Huang was afraid of the cold, so she put a brazier in the middle.

For breakfast, I had steamed radish cake and pork offal porridge.

It was still dark, and the wind blew into the house through the window. All the members of the Sun family, young and old, gathered together, drinking porridge.

Huang checked Aunt Sun's luggage again and again. The fish were in a small wooden barrel, and two pots of oranges were also in the carriage. The oranges from home had been packed and put in there long ago. After seven or eight trips, she finally got everything she needed.

At daybreak, Huang urged, "Chunlan, you should set off early and go to the escort agency to wait for the escort team. Don't let the escort agency wait for you."

The escort agency from Huangyang County to the prefectural capital is not open every day. It takes several days to go there, so you have to calculate the time and make an appointment. Huang was worried that her daughter would miss it and wait for a few more days, which was not acceptable.

If you stay at your parents' home for too long, your in-laws may have complaints.

Aunt Sun looked at the sky and thought it was time to leave, so she said to everyone, "Mother, let's go back now."

Sun Bomin went to the front yard to help lead the horses and install the carriage.

The village head and his wife came in from outside, having gotten up early to see them off. As for the things that Sun Dagu had to help return to Yu Niang, they had already been packed yesterday.

The village chief said: "Chunlan, leave early and don't waste time."

Sun Chunlan said goodbye to everyone one by one. Sun Bomin led the horse in front, and a group of people followed to see her off to the village entrance.

When they met the villagers from Sunjia Village, they followed them to the village entrance to say goodbye to Aunt Sun.

When they reached the intersection, the village chief's son's ox cart had already stopped there. The village chief reluctantly said, "Chunlan, let Bomin and the others take you to the county town." Although there were no bandits around, he still felt relieved to send her to the escort agency.

Anyway, rural labor and time are not valuable.

Huang also agreed: "Let Bomin and the others take you to the county town. Don't refuse. Only when Bomin follows you will mother feel at ease."

Uncle He and Aunt Sun couldn't resist and had no choice but to accept it.

The three brothers Sun Bomin and the eldest son of the village chief got on the ox cart, and Master He drove the horse carriage. The two carts disappeared in Sunjia Village one after the other.

Huang and the village head's wife wiped their tears. They wanted to see each other again, but they probably would have to wait another year.

The group returned home dejectedly.

Sun Shan was woken up early in the morning. He was dazed and mechanically ate breakfast and said goodbye. He felt sleepy again and said to his grandmother and mother, "I'm so sleepy. I want to go to bed."

Su helped Sun Shan cover himself with the quilt and told him, "Go to sleep if you are tired. The more you sleep, the taller you will be."

My son is short and thin, even thinner than his peers. He eats a lot but doesn't gain weight.

Su came to the yellow mud house where the livestock were kept.

We have been killing chickens, ducks and geese these days, and eating meat and fish every day. We have also eaten a lot of the poultry raised at home for the New Year.

After counting, there are still 4 geese, 2 ducks and 6 chickens left. It should be enough for the New Year.

He ordered his second daughter Lixia who was in the kitchen: "Xia Jie'er, go and herd the cattle. The cattle at home are hungry."

There are only two families in the village who own cows, one belongs to the village chief and the other to themselves.

Lixia responded and would go without her mother telling her. She didn't know when the task of herding cattle fell on her shoulders.

The eldest sister did housework at home, the third and fourth sisters went up the mountain to chop firewood, and the father and mother were busy working in the fields.

Grandma takes care of her younger brother at home. Everyone in the village says that she is a blessed old lady.

Lixia also thinks so. Grandma is well fed and well clothed, and has money to spend. If she wants to work, she works. If she doesn't work, no one dares to say anything.

Lixia thought that it would be great if she could have the same experience as Grandma in her life. Even if she lost her husband, she would be very lucky to have filial children.

When Sun Shan woke up, it was already noon, and the three Sun brothers had not returned yet.

It takes one day to go from Sunjia Village to the county town and back.

For lunch, we had the steamed cakes and pork porridge from the morning.

I secretly opened the wallets given by Aunt Sun. One was given on the first day, and the other was given last night. The first one contained one penny of silver, and the second one contained a full ounce of silver.

Because of her love for Sun Shan, Aunt Sun really favors Sun Shan.

Only after he had packed up all his belongings and locked the wooden box did Sun Shan feel at ease.

In life, it is impossible to live without money, and the saving habit brought from the previous life is still continuing.

In the afternoon, Sun Bomin and others came back, and Huang asked quickly, "Is everything going well, elder sister?"

Sun Bomin took a sip of water and said, "Mother, it went smoothly. We waited until the escort agency and my elder sister left the city before returning."

Uncle Sun smiled and said, "Mother, don't worry. The escort agency said that the world is peaceful now and there are not many robbers on the road. They are familiar with the roads and can send the people back safely."

Uncle Sun also echoed, saying honestly: "The fare to the capital city is really expensive, 500 coins for adults and 250 coins for kids. I'll just let you follow me and I won't be responsible for anything."

Uncle Sun sneered: "How can it not be expensive? They have many bodyguards escorting them." If you want safety, you have to spend money.

Fortunately, the He family is well off and can afford it.

Huang understood what her sons said and felt much more at ease.

Time passed quickly. Not long after Aunt Sun left, it was already the 27th day of the lunar year. The Chinese New Year was only a few days away.

Sun Bomin and Su took Sun Shan to visit Sun Banxian, a villager who was entitled to five guarantees and also a fortune teller.

The reason why Sun Shan is called Sun Shan is because the name was given by Sun Banxian.

Ever since Sun Shan was born at Wild Boar Hill, he had been in poor health. He sought medical treatment, sought medicine, prayed to gods and Buddhas, whether it was useful or not.

Mr. and Mrs. Sun Boming consulted Sun Banxian for fortune-telling to see if their child had bad luck with his fate and if they could change his destiny and have good health.

Sun Banxian calculated for a long time but couldn't figure out anything, so he asked about the birth dates of Sun Boming and his wife.

After calculating for a while, he said with a shocked look on his face: "Bomin, we worship the same ancestor. I'm telling you the truth, you and your wife are destined to have no children."

Sun Bomin and Su said in panic: "Uncle Sun, what do you mean? What do you mean I have no children?" Seeing Sun Shan, who was as weak as a cat in his arms, they were very frightened.

Sun Banxian quickly comforted him, "You were destined to have no children, but you gave birth to a son. This kid might have sneaked into your house and walked into the wrong door."

Su said nervously: "Uncle Sun, what do you mean by wrong door? What should we do?"

In fact, the one who believed it the most was Su. When she gave birth to Sun Shan, she felt that the baby would not be born, and there might even be two deaths.

Suddenly a gust of air blew in and a shadow flashed before my eyes.

Perhaps it was God's will that Wild Boar Hill was the place where Wa Zi's grandfather died, or perhaps Wa Zi's grandfather helped.

Su said what she thought: "Maybe it was because the kid's grandfather brought the kid to the Sun family, and the kid happened to be born in Wild Boar Hill.

Sun Banxian nodded and said, "It's possible. Originally, this child was not meant to be born into the Sun family. It just so happened that you had an attack at Wild Boar Hill that day. Perhaps the deceased brother Sun sent his reincarnated son to your home. Parents are so pitiful. Your father saw that you had no descendants, so he tried his best to make sure you had descendants."

Sun Bomin believed this. It was a miracle that both Su and her child were safe after rolling down the Wild Boar Hill.

Sun Bomin asked anxiously, "Uncle Sun, what should we do?"

Sun Banxian thought for a while and said seriously: "Here are three countermeasures. Listen to them. The best one is to give the baby away and record it in someone else's family tree, so that others can help you raise the baby."

Su immediately said, "No, my child cannot be given away." First, who would be willing to give away his own flesh and blood? It's not like she couldn't afford to raise him. Second, the child was Su's support, and she didn't get divorced because of the child.

Sun Boming also opposed it. How could he give away the baby boy that he had finally gotten?

Sun Banxian understood, nodded and said, "The middle option is that you still raise the child, but he won't be included in your family tree or the Sun family ancestral hall. Even the name can't be given according to the Sun family generation name. You raise him secretly and don't let the gods know. This way, you are still destined to be childless."

This trick is called deceiving the heavens and deceiving the seas, and it is to deceive the dead.

When Su heard that the child would not be included in the family tree and would not have to inform the ancestors, she felt that it did not matter. After all, the child was still by her side and was hers.

Sun Bomin hesitated. Can this be done?

Sun Banxian stroked his long beard and said, "This is the worst option. I have no background in anything, so there is no need to be shy. As for the consequences, you will bear them as well."

Hearing this, Sun Bomin was frightened and said hastily: "Uncle Sun, choose the middle strategy, we will do whatever you tell us to do."

Sun Banxian nodded with satisfaction, and Sun Bomin asked what name to give the baby? Should he calculate the birth date and horoscope?

Sun Banxian shook his head and said, "Don't do these things. The kid came to your house secretly. The more low-key the better. How about this? He was born in the mountains, so he is a mountain kid. Mountain kids are tough and easy to raise. Let's call him Sun Shan."

So Sun Shan, who was still in his infancy, knew that his name was Sun Shan. I glanced at Sun Banxian with resentment. The name he gave me was ordinary but unique.

Sun Shan, Sun Shan, failed Sun Shan!

Sun Bomin brought a pound of pork, a bag of rice cakes, and a bag of sugar to Sun Banxian's place, and led Sun Shan into the house to greet him.

Sun Banxian smiled and said, "Shanzi, are you feeling well?"

Sun Shan nodded and said crisply, "Very good."

Su smiled and said, "Uncle Sun, please help him change the amulet. The New Year is coming soon, it's time to change it."

Sun Banxian skillfully took out a peace amulet and a house-warding talisman from the house.

There are many people coming here to ask for talismans these days, so it’s nothing strange.

Su took the talisman reverently and quickly helped Sun Shan put it on. Sun Shan then had a key and a talisman hung around his neck.

Sun Banxian pulled Sun Shan over, touched his body, and said with satisfaction: "The kid is a little thinner and shorter, but he is healthy. You have taken good care of him."

Sun Bomin heaved a long sigh of relief and said gratefully, "Uncle Sun, your method is the best. Over the years, Shanzi has been sick less and less often."

Sun Banxian smiled and said, "Continue raising him like this, and we'll talk about it after he turns twelve."

Sun Shan looked at the three adults speechlessly. Sun Shan was currently an illegal resident and had not been registered. He was abducted and the government would not accept the case. Strictly speaking, he did not exist.

The Sun couple thanked him and left. Sun Banxian was very busy with his work and soon another family came to ask for talismans.
