Chapter 74 Ming Ge'er is going to the capital city
Guyu ran to Uncle Sun's house, but no one was there. Then he ran to the fields, but no one was there either. Then he ran to the vegetable fields, and finally saw Uncle Sun. Aunt Sun was planting vegetables with Ming Ge'er and Xiao Xue.
Aunt Sun asked curiously, "Guyu, what's wrong? Why are you running here?"
Guyu said happily: "Second aunt, second uncle, eldest aunt sent a letter, grandma asked you to go back."
When Uncle and Aunt Sun heard what Guyu said, they couldn't believe it and said, "Guyu, what did you say? A letter from Mingge'er's aunt? When did it come?"
Guyu said excitedly: "Just now, the village chief came back from the county town and brought it back."
Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun no longer planted vegetables. They had originally planned to take advantage of the rains while the soil was moist to plant.
Now that I have heard the letter from Aunt Sun, growing vegetables is not as important as reading the letter.
Uncle Sun asked nervously, "What does the letter say?" Will it arrange for Mingge'er to stay in the city?
Guyu shook her head and said, "I don't know either. After grandma received the letter, she asked me to inform you. Who knew that your family was not at home, so I had to come to the vegetable garden to look for you."
Guyu wanted to hear the contents of the letter from the village chief, but Huang sent him out to find someone.
Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun became even more nervous. They hurried out of the vegetable garden, washed their clothes in the stream, and said to Ming Ge'er and Xiao Xue, "You two, wash quickly. We'll go back soon."
Xiaoxue was fine, but Ming'er was very nervous. Sometimes he was afraid that his eldest aunt would write to him and ask him not to go to the provincial capital. Sometimes he was terrified that his eldest aunt would write to him and ask him to go to the provincial capital.
He was at a loss as to what to do and just casually washed the mud off his heels. He carried the hoe stupidly and followed Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun woodenly.
The three of them hurried to the old house, Guyu and Xiaoxue chased after them. After chasing for a long time, they couldn't catch up. Xiaoxue took a breath and said, "Sister, I won't chase you anymore. I'm so tired."
Guyu nodded and said, "Let's walk back slowly." The letter was there. Whether you knew it earlier or later, the result would be the same.
Uncle Sun, Aunt Sun, and Ming Ge'er ran quickly and soon arrived at the old house, not even putting away their hoes and bamboo dustpans they used for working back home first.
Uncle Sun shouted in the yard: "Mother, brother, did sister write to you? What did she say?"
The couple and Mingge walked into the main room.
Huang smiled and said, "Good news. First, Jing'er has passed the Tongshi exam and officially became a Tongsheng. Second, Chunlan wrote to you and asked you to take Ming'er to Guangzhou. Chunlan said that she has arranged a job for Ming'er."
When Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun heard this, bright smiles broke out on their dark faces.
Aunt Sun's eyes widened and she said excitedly, "Mother, has Ming'er's aunt really arranged a job for him?"
Ming Ge'er looked at his grandmother nervously, then at the letter on the dining table nervously, wishing he could open the letter and read it himself.
Huang took Ming'er by the hand, handed him the letter, and said lovingly, "Ming'er can read, read it yourself."
Then he said to Aunt Sun, "This is what the letter says. Don't worry about Chunlan's work. If she says it's arranged, it will definitely be arranged."
Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun looked at Ming Ge'er nervously and asked anxiously, "What did Aunt Sun say in the letter?"
Although I learned the content from Huang, I always felt that I was in a dream, my steps were light and I couldn't find the ground.
Ming Ge'er held the letter with trembling hands and read it word by word. After a long while, he said, "Father, mother, my aunt asked you to take me to the capital as soon as possible. She said that the job has been arranged."
Ming Ge was sweating profusely after reading the short two-page letter. He breathed a long sigh of relief, and was really sure that his aunt had asked him to go to the provincial capital to work.
Aunt Sun said happily, "Boss, hurry up and make an appointment with the escort agency and take Ming Ge'er there as soon as possible. Since the eldest sister said so, the store must be short of people. If you don't go early and invite other people, you will miss the opportunity in vain."
After hearing this, Uncle Sun also became nervous and said anxiously: "I will go to the county town to make a reservation early tomorrow morning. Ming Ge'er must go there early."
But I can’t let my eldest sister wait too long. If she gets impatient and invites other people, it will really ruin my eldest son’s future.
Huang said comfortingly, "Don't be nervous. Chunlan is very careful and will definitely give you enough time to prepare. The work will definitely be left for Mingge'er."
Second Aunt Sun disagreed, and rarely contradicted her mother-in-law, saying seriously: "Mother, although that's what you said, it's not good to keep people waiting. Ming'er had better go to the city as soon as possible."
I'm not sure if Ming Ge'er is working in the city, so I'm worried all the time. There are not many people who can go to the city, Sunjia Village, or Mingyang Town, so I can't miss the opportunity.
Ming Ge'er also wanted to arrive at the capital as early as possible and start working as early as possible. He didn't want to miss this rare opportunity in vain.
If it weren’t for my eldest aunt, I wouldn’t even dare to think about going to the provincial capital.
When Sun Shan saw the nervous look on Sun Ershu and his wife's faces, he was convinced by the saying: "Parents devote all their efforts to their children. How pitiful are the hearts of parents in the world!"
Sun Bomin comforted his uncle, saying, "Brother, go to the county town early tomorrow morning to see when the escort agency will land in Guangzhou Prefecture, and then follow the escort agency."
Then he asked, "You go with Ming Ge'er, is that okay?"
Uncle Sun shook his head and said, "Brother, I don't go to the city often, and I have forgotten how to get to my sister's house. How about you accompany me and Brother Ming? You are more familiar with it."
Aunt Sun said worriedly, "Brother, you should accompany them. Zhongli is a stupid person, and Ming'er has never been there. We are most afraid that they will get lost in the city and be kidnapped without knowing it."
Sun Bomin was also worried about Uncle Sun and Ming Ge'er, so he readily agreed: "Okay, I'll go with you."
Huang nodded and said, "It would be best if you let Bomin go with you. He can help you if anything happens."
Everyone has decided that Uncle Sun will go to the county town early tomorrow morning to make an appointment with the escort agency, and he wants to make an appointment for the earliest trip.
Ming'er went to the provincial capital to work and Jing'er passed the examination to become a student, which were two exciting things.
Uncle Sun said, "Mother, brother, I'll go catch two chickens and butcher them. Then call the village chief and we'll have a good meal together."
Huang smiled and said, "That's fine. I'm sorry to bother the village chief today. Fortunately, he went to the escort agency to ask. What a coincidence, he came just as the letter arrived."
Everyone laughed at the thought.
Aunt Sun said with a smile, "Brother, we'll have dinner at your house tonight. I'll go back and butcher the chicken now and bring it over."
Sun Boming nodded and said, "Okay, let's get together tonight and invite my third brother." For such a happy event, he must invite his third brother.
Uncle Sun also thought so, and went home with Aunt Sun, Ming Ge'er, and Xiaoxue who had rushed back.
When he got home, he immediately caught a chicken and slaughtered it, and told Xiaoxue to bring rice and vegetables to the old house.
For Mingge’s wedding, I can’t let my eldest brother provide the ingredients.
After Sun Shan calmed down, he went into the study, first completed the homework assigned by Master Zheng, and then practiced calligraphy under the eaves.
Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself, just keep studying as usual, and don't disrupt your plans.
