Chapter 85 Roots in the Sun Family

Chapter 85 Roots in the Sun Family

It was getting dark. Sun Shan packed up his books and was about to go out when he heard De Ge'er calling, "Shanzi, I'm here to play with you."

Sun Shan walked out of the study and saw De Ge'er flying around like a colorful butterfly. Soon he flew to Sun Shan.

"Have you finished the homework assigned by the teacher?" Sun Shan asked with a cold face. Looking at the mud on his trouser legs, it can be seen that he has gone to the fields to catch loaches in the mud.

De Geer said arrogantly: "Humph, Shanzi, you underestimate me. As soon as I come back from class, I finish my homework first, and then go out to play."

Then he laughed and said, "Shanzi, there are a lot of loaches by the pond of the village chief's grandfather. Big Head Dog and I caught a lot of them. But when I heard that we were going to eat chicken at your house tonight, I gave the loaches to him. Oh, I am too kind-hearted. It's his fault that his family doesn't have enough food to eat."

It looks like Shanzi, come and praise me.

Sun Shan nodded and said, "You did a good job in sending the loach. But learning is not just about completing the homework assigned by the teacher, but also about reviewing the old to learn the new. Reviewing the old to learn the new, you know what that means, right?"

De Geer shook his head.

Guang Ge'er, who was walking through the yard, patted De Ge's little head and said angrily, "Look how hard Shan Zi studies. What about you? You only know how to play."

Guang Ge'er asked again: "Shanzi, how do you know the meaning of this sentence?"

Sun Shan said seriously: "You were in class, we were practicing calligraphy, I overheard it."

Guang Ge'er said approvingly: "Shanzi, good job! Don't learn from De Ge'er, who only knows how to play and deal with the teacher's homework casually."

Sun Shan nodded and said, "Brother Guang, I understand."

De Geer asked gloomily, "Shanzi, what does it mean to review the past to learn new things?"

Sun Shan and Guang Ge'er ignored him and walked into the main hall. De Ge'er stamped his feet in anger and had to follow them.

Grandma Huang was sitting on a bamboo chair, chatting with her grandson at home.

All the boys from the Sun family are here, and the maid and daughter-in-law are working in the kitchen.

Sun Boming and Uncle Sun told everyone about what they had seen and heard in the city.

Uncle Sun grabbed a handful of the pumpkin seeds he had roasted and complained, "Mother, my elder and second brothers went to the capital and made so many copper coins. If I had gone there, I could have made as much as you did. If I had known, I would not have listened to you and would have gone there with my neck stiff."

Huang disagreed and said with a smile: "Don't travel expenses cost money? Even if you do odd jobs, you'll still lose money." Although Huang is a rural woman who can't read or write, she can still do the math.

Uncle Sun disagreed and said, "Mother, what you said is wrong. If I lose anything, it's only a few copper coins. But when I came to the capital, I not only gained more experience, but also had meat and rice to eat every day.

It's like spending a few copper coins to eat so many delicious foods, what a bargain. Aunt, I'll go next time. I haven't been to the capital for a long time."

When he said that, the twisted logic still made sense. If you think about it carefully, you will realize that you have made a profit.

But the third brother is unreliable, so he will not be allowed to go next time, for fear that he will do something bad and embarrass Chunlan.

He quickly waved his hand and said, "As long as you convince the village chief to let you go, I have no objection."

To deal with people like Lao San, we still have to rely on the authoritative village chief of Sunjia Village. No one in the village dares to disobey him.

When Uncle Sun heard that the village chief's consent was needed, he immediately lost his temper. If the village chief agreed, the sow could climb the tree. I didn't expect that my mother would be such a person. She didn't trust me at all.

Sun Shan saw that Uncle Sun was sulking, while Guang'er, Yong'er and De'er were laughing and talking happily.

It turns out that the father and son do not share the same joys and sorrows.

Guangge'er asked curiously: "Uncle, Brother Ming works for Aunt, is he paid?" In fact, there is no salary. Guangge'er also wanted to go, but unfortunately he was young and Aunt didn't want him.

Uncle Sun touched his hair in a simple and honest manner and said with a smile, "Yes, the salary is the same as that of the other relatives of the He family, 300 coins, with food and accommodation provided."

Hearing that there were 300 coins, Dingqing, the younger brother, said enviously: "Brother, you can also make money and become a rich man."

300 wen a month, that’s 3 wen a year. Wow, so rich.

Uncle Sun said sourly: "Qing'er, your eldest brother is not only a rich man, but also able to work in the capital. Girls from all over the country are lining up to marry him."

The elder sister is really generous. What kind of work can a boy do? He can't do anything, just serve food to customers and wash dishes. He can earn 300 coins a month. The elder sister is partial. It's better to ask me to go down. I can do better than Ming Ge'er.

In fact, Uncle Sun San also suggested going to the provincial capital to work, but was directly rejected by Aunt Sun. She did not give any other reasons, only one: they would not recruit illiterate people.

Uncle Sun was left speechless.

When Uncle Sun heard his third brother talking about Ming'er's marriage, he looked at him blankly and said to Huang: "Mother, I heard from my eldest sister that no matter whether Jin'er passes the examination in August or not, we have to start discussing marriage. My eldest sister said that it's a bit late to discuss marriage at the age of 8, and she is afraid that a good girl will be engaged."

When Huang heard about Jing'er's marriage, she was also concerned and asked anxiously, "What does Chunlan say? Is there a family you like?"

Sun Bomin shook his head and whispered, "Eldest sister said that she can't decide on Jing'er's marriage. Old lady, let uncle and aunt find one."

Huang said with understanding: "My in-laws know a lot of people, so it's normal for them to look for someone. Jing'er is the first grandson of the He family, so they definitely want to find a good one."

After thinking for a while, he asked again: "The He family has no objection to Ming Ge'er going to work, right?"

The biggest worry is that Chunlan will act on her own without informing the He family. Although the store is Chunlan's, it certainly won't be able to do so well without the He family's help.

Sun Bomin smiled and said, "Mother, don't worry, old lady, uncle and aunt are very kind to us. My eldest sister took Ming Ge'er to meet the He family, gave them a gift, and told Ming Ge'er to work hard."

Uncle Sun echoed: "Mother, my eldest sister is here and has a say. The He family is very nice and doesn't look down on us poor relatives."

Huang heard this and said happily, "That's good. Your elder sister is alone in the He family, and no one can help her. Now she has to support our Sun family. Your elder sister has a hard time. You must be obedient and don't do anything to let her down."

Sun Bomin and Second Uncle Sun hurriedly nodded and said yes. As for Third Uncle Sun, he spat out a lot of melon seed shells and said with a smile: "Mother, don't worry. The eldest sister gave birth to four arrowheads for the He family. She is a great contributor."

When Huang heard what the third brother said, she shook her head repeatedly and became even more determined not to let him go to the provincial capital and cause trouble for Chunlan.

You must talk to the village chief in private and ask him to keep a strict eye on him.

When Sun Shan heard their conversation, he remembered that the farthest place he had been to was Huangyang County, so he thought that if he had the chance, he would go to the provincial capital to see the world.

I just don’t know whether Sun Boming is willing, but we’ll talk about it later.

I asked curiously, "Uncle, can Brother Ming go home for the New Year?" The journey was long and I was afraid of the danger, so I would not go home unless it was necessary.

Uncle Sun smiled and said, "Your aunt said that when she returns to Sunjia Village, she will bring Mingge'er with her."

As for not going back, Ming Ge'er couldn't go back either. Who dared to let him go back privately?

Yong Ge'er from the third room said enviously, "It's so much fun in the capital city. If I don't want to go back, then I won't."

As soon as he finished speaking, Uncle Sun slapped him in the face and scolded him, "What's wrong? Can you not go home if you have fun in the city? Your last name is Sun, and you are from Sunjia Village. Your father and mother are both in Sunjia Village. Have you forgotten your roots?"

Children should be taught to be nice. Even if you become rich, you should not forget your parents. Humph! Yong Ge wants to be an ungrateful person. I will beat him to death.

Yong Ge'er was hit and felt wronged. Huang quickly pulled him over and said softly, "Yong Ge'er, your father is right. We are from Sunjia Village and our roots are in Sunjia. We can't not go home. Look at your aunt. Even though she went to the capital, she still came back. When you go out to work in the future, you must come back often to visit your parents and the elders and fellow villagers of Sunjia Village when you have time.

do you know? "

Yong Ge'er nodded in agreement, and only then did Uncle Sun let him go.
