Chapter 36 Worthy of the old surname and call him a good official

While Xiao Liu was busy, Su took out two money bags and said, "Mother, father, this is a gift from the head of the family and I to you."

Old Mrs. Su and Old Man Su's eyes lit up, but since their son-in-law was there, they had to refuse anyway.

Old Man Su said, "It's not easy for you either. I don't want it."

Old Mrs. Su also said, "We have money to use, no need to give."

Su knew the two old people well, so she said without denying the answer, "Father, mother, take it. 300 coins each, it's not much, don't refuse."

Sun Bomin also agreed: "Father, mother, take it, it's only once a year, buy some meat to eat."

Old man Su and old lady Su accepted it with a smile. The eldest daughter and son-in-law were very generous and gave 300 each.

Oh, the Sun family is indeed rich. It’s different to have an aunt in the provincial capital.

Sun Bomin ordered: "Father, mother, dry the mountain products and store them. We will take them to the capital to sell them later."

The He family not only has a seafood store selling abalone, sea cucumber, shark's fin and bird's nest, but also a mountain product store for the common people.

When Sun Bomin went to sell tangerines, he would bring some mountain products with him, and also provide the villagers with opportunities to increase their income.

Old Man Su nodded and said, "Yes, we will save it carefully. We won't give it to you if we are not sure. Thanks to you, our family has some income these years."

Sun Bomin quickly waved his hand and said, "Dad, don't say these things. We are a family and we should help each other."

Su pulled over two more big ones and stuffed 5 wen into each of them, which together with Sun Boming's made a total of 10 wen.

Then he stuffed it into the hands of his eldest sister, the second sister, and the third sister, and said with a smile: "Here, it's given by your aunt and uncle."

The three girls timidly took the coins, and only their aunt and uncle gave them red envelopes. Their grandparents never gave any, not to mention the grandparents from the Xu family.

Da Gen and Er Gen were very happy. They could buy a slingshot for 10 cents. Da Gen said with his face tilted: "Aunt, when will you come again?"

It would be great if I could come again tomorrow and get another 10 cents.

Su thought that Dagen was reluctant to leave her. It was a beautiful misunderstanding. She was so moved that she touched Dagen's round head and said, "Come when you are free."

After chatting for a while, around 1pm, Sun Bomin said anxiously: "Dad, Mom, we have to leave. The mountain road is difficult to walk on. We have to leave early."

Old Man Su said with understanding: "Go back quickly, it's too late, it's not good."

The group sent Sun Shan and his family to the village entrance. Sun Shan waved and said goodbye to them one by one.

Sun Shan came to Hulingshan Village once a year. Due to his frail health, he seldom went out. Throughout the year, he left Sunjia Village only a few times.

It was hard coming here, and it is also hard going back here.

Su Buming put Sun Shan on the cart. The boy was short and had short legs, so he had difficulty walking after a few steps.

Su asked, "Grandpa, grandma, how much did my uncle give you in red envelopes?"

The fourth daughter, Hanlu, opened the red paper and said, "Grandpa and grandma each gave 2 wen, my uncle and aunt each gave 1 wen, and my second aunt gave 2 wen."

After one round, I earned 8 cents.

Xiaoman said dissatisfiedly: "My uncle and aunt are too stingy. They only gave me 1 cent."

My second aunt was so miserable and poor, yet she was still given 2 cents.

Guyu patted Xiaoman on the shoulder, signaling her not to talk nonsense. It was a token of her heart's intention, more or less, and she shouldn't speak ill of others behind their backs.

Su snorted coldly: "Your aunt-in-law gave you 1 cent. I thought she wouldn't give you anything."

Mrs. Liu is both stingy and aggressive. Perhaps she had a change of heart today and actually gave the red envelope money.

Sun Shan opened the red paper and looked at it with wide eyes. His grandparents gave 5 wen each, his uncle and aunt-in-law gave 2 wen each, and his second aunt gave 5 wen.

Well, twice as many as the eldest sisters.

After hearing this, Su and her sisters didn't think anything was wrong. Lixia smiled and said, "My aunt actually gave me 2 Wenshanzi. It's rare."

In the past, my aunt didn’t give any interest to the sisters, but there was always some money from Shan Zi, but it was only 1 cent.

Sun Bomin pushed the cart and said, "Shanzi, do you want your father to keep it for you?"

Sun Shan pretended not to hear and lay on the cart. It was impossible for me to keep it for you, not in this lifetime.

After walking for a long time, we finally returned to Sunjia Village in the afternoon.

Huang saw the man coming back and asked with concern: "Did you have a smooth journey? Are your father-in-law and mother-in-law okay?"

Su quickly replied: "Mother, they are all fine."

Huang saw her grandson jump out of the car and said nervously, "Shanzi, get off slowly. Be careful not to fall."

Sun Shan responded: "Grandma, I'm fine. I have something to give you."

Without saying a word, he quickly walked into the bedroom and took out a wine bottle that Sun Boming had used to drink before.

He inserted the peach branches he brought from Hulingshan Village into the wine bottles, filled them up, and placed them on the dining table.

Pulling Huang in, he said, "Grandma, this is peach blossoms. I cut them from grandpa's house and give them to you. Cousin Yu said that if you put peach blossoms on the table during the New Year, the elderly will live a hundred years."

Huang initially thought that there was nothing beautiful about peach branches, but after hearing her grandson's explanation, she was so moved that she touched Sun Shan's little head and said, "Oh, my dear grandson, you are my sweetheart. I like you very much."

Sun Bomin was also delighted by Sun Shan's filial piety and said gently, "Mother, you know what I mean. In this whole area, there is no one more filial than Shanzi."

Su was very happy to see that Shanzi could easily please his mother-in-law.

My mother-in-law likes Shanzi and is nice to the whole family of the eldest wife. Don't think I don't know that my mother-in-law's piggy bank is full. Shanzi makes her happy, so naturally there are many benefits.

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar year, Sun Xiaogu returned to her parents' home and brought with her a chicken and some biscuits and candies.

They went back and caught another chicken and a duck. Not only did Uncle Sun have an opinion, even the sullen Aunt Sun said it was outrageous. Su gritted her teeth and said she didn't care.

When he saw the red envelope money, he couldn't help but complain to Sun Bomin: "Your younger sister, hey, only gave Shanzi 1 cent, and your brother-in-law is the same, I've never seen such a stingy person."

Aunt Sun didn't discriminate between boys and girls, and gave a uniform price of 1 cent to all nieces and nephews.

Sun Bomin covered himself with a quilt and said nonchalantly, "Dabao is going to school. It's normal that we don't have money at home and give him less. As his sister-in-law, don't mind it."

After hearing this, Su became even angrier. Dabao had never been to school, and she only gave him 1 cent.

Su wanted to kick Sun Boming's pig head awake.

Sun Shan didn't mind, since he wouldn't give too much anyway.

What’s more important is that he has a huge sum of money, one tael, given by Aunt Sun. Hehe, he is better than all the kids in Sunjia Village.

After the 29th day of the lunar year, it is New Year's Eve, and everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared long ago.

Sun Shan went for a tour of Huangyang County. The county town was small and shabby, but quite clean.

I heard that the magistrate of Huangyang County has been entrenched in Huangyang County for several years. The economy has not taken off, but there has been progress in people's livelihood security.

Build bridges and roads, strengthen public security, and severely punish crimes.

Sun Shan felt that the county magistrate had done his best. A place with poor mountains and bad water would be difficult to develop even in modern times, let alone in ancient times.

Being able to achieve this, he deserves to be called a good official by the people.
