Chapter 75: Share the joys and the sorrows

After the calligraphy practice was finished, De Geer squatted over and said admiringly: "Shanzi, you are really amazing. Even such a noise can't affect your calligraphy practice."

There was no need for the Sun family’s old house to notify Uncle Sun of the letter. Uncle Sun would know about it as soon as he stepped into the village entrance.

He ran to the old house happily, waited to confirm that the news was true, then quickly brought his wife and children to the old house and waited for dinner.

Sun Shan looked at De Ge'er with disdain and asked, "Have you completed the homework assigned by the teacher?"

De Ge'er puffed out his chest and said with a look of "You don't know me" "Humph, you underestimate me. I've already done it. I'm going to the river with Big Head Dog to catch fish to eat."

Sun Shan looked at the weather and saw that it was drizzling, but he still went to the river to catch fish. What a wild person he is.

After packing up my things, I walked into the main room, which was packed with members of the Sun family.

There was a lot of chatter in the main room. Uncle Sun was sitting next to Mrs. Huang, spitting out melon seed shells from his mouth from time to time.

Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun were so happy that they brought some melon seeds and candies from home for everyone to eat.

Ming Ge'er was surrounded by a group of brothers, all of whom were envious.

Sun Shan walked over to Huang and grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and De Ge'er did the same.

De Ge'er said as he ate, "Ming Ge, when you go to the capital and become rich, don't forget me."

Ming Ge'er's face turned red. He touched his head and said embarrassedly, "What do you mean by developed? I went there to work."

Uncle Sun disagreed. He stood up, hugged his nephew and said, "What kind of work is it? Going to the capital city, who has the opportunity? You are lucky to be able to work in the capital city. I, your uncle, have only been there once or twice, and it was many years ago."

Every time my family went to sell oranges and mountain products, I wanted to go with them, but they always opposed it. Especially the village chief, who said I was unreliable and unethical, and never took me with him.

Sun Dingming giggled and said shyly, "It is thanks to my aunt that I have the opportunity to go to the capital."

Huang rolled her eyes at her third son and scolded him with a smile, "Stop teasing Ming Ge'er. Go help plucking the chicken feathers."

Uncle Sun was so happy today that he thought two chickens were not enough to eat, so he caught another one and butchered all the three chickens in the house.

There were too many chickens to be butchered, and the couple was too busy to handle it, so they took them to the old house to be butchered. Sun Boming and Second Uncle Sun were butchering chickens in the kitchen.

Uncle Sun is even lazier than Aunt Sun, who knows how to help in the kitchen.

Uncle Sun saw that he could no longer stay in the main room, so he reluctantly went to the kitchen to help. Plucking the feathers was impossible, so the most he could do was stand there and say a few words of congratulations.

Dingqing, Dingguang, and Dingyong surrounded Mingge'er, saying, "Mingge, you must work hard in the city. Once you are proficient in the work, take us down to work."

The Sun brothers hoped that Brother Ming would gain a foothold in the city, and then they would be pulled to work in the city. If they stayed in Sunjia Village, they would have to work hard.

Ming Ge'er didn't dare to agree, and hesitantly said, "I'll talk about it when I get to the capital."

What I fear most is that after working for two days, my aunt will think I am too stupid and send me back to Sunjia Village.

Huang pulled the grandchildren away and said with a smile, "Don't bother Ming Ge'er, and don't think about going to the capital all day. The most important thing now is to study hard. My eldest aunt said that if you don't study hard, you will have no future no matter where you work."

Dingming's younger brother Dingqing smiled and said, "Grandma, don't worry, we will study hard."

Dingming could go to the prefectural capital, and as his younger brother, Dingqing thought he could do it too. Besides, they were brothers, so the elder brother would help his younger brother first.

Sun Shan looked at Ming Ge'er's excitement and nervousness and understood him very well. It was like the first day at work, full of anticipation and fear.

At this time, the village chief came in with his three sons, the eldest grandson and the village chief's wife. It was drizzling outside. Several people were holding oil-paper umbrellas. After coming in, they folded them up and placed them by the door.

Huang quickly asked them to sit down and told Guyu to pour tea and water.

The village head's wife brought some wild fruits from home and put them on the dining table, asking everyone to try them. She also took a piece of bacon to the kitchen and added some to the dishes.

The village chief looked at Ming Ge'er with satisfaction and said happily: "Ming Ge'er, when you go to the capital, you must work hard with your aunt. Do whatever your aunt asks you to do. This is a rare opportunity, so you must cherish it."

Ming Ge'er nodded seriously and said, "Grandpa Village Chief, I know, I will definitely do a good job."

The village head's wife came back from the kitchen and said with satisfaction: "Chunlan is a good person and she helps her nephew." She said the same thing to Ming'er as the village head did.

As for the village chief’s three sons, they ran to the kitchen to help butcher the chicken.

The village chief asked with concern: "Will Zhongli accompany Mingge'er to the city?"

Huang nodded and said, "Also ask Bomin to come along. Zhongli is not very familiar with the roads in the city, and I am afraid that the father and son will not be able to find the way."

The village head's wife agreed and said, "This is the right arrangement. We would rather pay more for the trip than to ensure safety."

Asked when to go.

Huang smiled and said, "Let's go to the county town tomorrow morning and ask the escort agency to see when Luofu City will be available."

The village chief said anxiously: "Be sure to book the earliest train. The sooner you go down, the sooner you can feel at ease."

Everyone also thinks so. The sooner Mingge can go to work, the sooner they can feel at ease.

The meal was ready soon. We slaughtered three big fat chickens tonight, used their heads and feet to make soup with some wolfberries and red dates, and made a big pot of fried chicken, and also stir-fried bacon with Chinese cabbage.

Two dishes and one soup, the best part is that the vegetables are organic and pure natural.

The advantage is the large portion.

Men and women ate at separate tables. Because they were so happy, Uncle Sun even served a small pot of wine.

The village chief joked, "Ming Ge, you have to learn how to drink. If you want to work in the city and socialize with others, you must be able to drink."

Ming Ge'er blushed and said, "Grandpa, I don't know how to drink."

The village chief also smiled and said: "Try it and learn slowly. There is no man who doesn't drink."

While they were talking, De Ge'er secretly tasted the wine in Uncle Sun's cup.

Then he spat a few times and said with a bitter face: "Shanzi, don't drink it. Adults are all liars. They said it tastes good. Bah, it's so unpalatable. It's better to drink boiled water."

Sun Shan was also not good at drinking, so he nodded in agreement and said, "I don't drink it. It tastes bad when I smell it."

Uncle Sun felt sorry for the wine being wasted by De Ge'er, and angrily scolded: "What's the point of drinking wine, you little kid? When you grow up, you will find wine delicious. You don't understand now."

After saying this, he tasted the wine in the glass by himself, smacking his lips, as if he was drinking nectar.

When everyone was talking about Sun Bomin and Uncle Sun taking Mingge to the city, Uncle Sun immediately said, "Mother, I'll go too. It'll be safer if more people go."

My elder and second brothers both went, why am I missing? Uncle Sun was not convinced and insisted on going.

If only Huang was there, after a few words, she might soften her heart and let him go.

But the village chief was different. He said seriously, "Shuwen, we are not going to the city to chat. We are going to do business. Stop making jokes here. The trip to the city is not cheap, and it won't help if you go with us."

The village chief spoke very bluntly, and Uncle Sun was so angry that he wanted to run away. Unfortunately, the person talking to him was the village chief, the authority in Sunjia Village, so Uncle Sun could only be unhappy and dared not talk back.

After the meal, everyone except Uncle Sun was smiling, including Aunt Sun.

It’s best that Uncle Sun can’t go to the provincial capital, because she can’t go either. They can share the good and the bad together.
