Chapter 121 He Chunyuan
Grandpa He Shuqiang walked in, stroked his half-white beard, and said with a smile: "Shanzi, right? You asked a good question just now. I am a fat boy. When the teacher asks me questions, I am too nervous to answer them, and I often get spanked.
I didn't expect that I could answer it after your hint, hahaha, it turns out that talking about academic matters with peers is relaxing."
Sun Shan, De Ge'er, and He Shuqiang quickly stood up and saluted the old man.
He Shuqiang ran to Grandpa cheerfully and introduced them cheerfully: "Grandpa, this is Brother Shan, and this is Brother De."
He introduced Sun Shan and De Ge'er: "Brother Shan, Brother De, this is my grandfather."
He pointed to a chubby little girl next to him and said, "This is my sister."
Sun Shan took a look at He Shuqiang's sister. Wow, they looked exactly alike, and they were both chubby. He could not help but sigh at the power of genes.
Uncle He smiled and said, "Third Uncle, I think Brother Qiang is a good person, but he is afraid of the teacher, so he can't answer. Just now, he studied very carefully with Shanzi and Brother De, and he has learned a lot."
He Shuqiang's face was red, and he looked at Uncle He excitedly, his eyes revealing: Uncle He, you really understand me.
Aunt Sun also praised him: "It can be seen that Qiang Ge'er is smart. He will definitely be as successful as his great grandfather in the future."
He Shuqiang's great-grandfather was a third-rank minister in the capital, and when he praises someone, he will definitely praise what they like to praise the most.
As expected, Master He San's round face smiled like Maitreya Buddha, and he said modestly: "You two should stop praising him. If you praise him, his tail will be lifted up to the sky."
He Shuqiang's face was rosy and he smiled like a little Maitreya Buddha. His sister beside him also covered her mouth and smiled, becoming a female version of Maitreya Buddha.
Sun Shan glanced at Master He San, then at He Shuqiang, and then at the little girl. They all had the same smile, which made him look happy and wanted to laugh.
Everyone sat down and the servants quickly brought tea.
Master He San asked, "Shan Zi, what happened that day?"
I heard about it from Qiang Ge'er before, but his description was not very clear. He only said that he fell into a lotus pond and was later rescued by Sun Shan. The two of them grabbed a gourd and waited for rescue.
Of course Sun Shan would not tell anyone that he saw He Shuqiang picking lotus flowers and was unable to stop him.
He only said that after waking up that day, he wanted to help out at the dessert shop, but he liked the He Family Ancestral Hall very much, so he turned there to visit it. Then he walked to the lotus pond and saw He Shuqiang reaching out to pick lotus flowers.
The lotus fell into the lotus pond before it was picked.
I walked over to see him struggling desperately in the water and wanted to run to the ancestral temple to call for help. But then I realized that the ancestral temple was too far away and it would be too late to go back and forth.
So I shouted for help while looking for a bamboo pole nearby. I couldn't find a bamboo pole, but I saw a gourd. So I tied the gourd to my body so that I wouldn't sink in the pond.
He took another gourd and threw it to He Shuqiang, but he struggled in vain. He thought of the villagers saving the drowning person, and they had to save him from the back.
Sun Shan used the gourd to paddle behind He Shuqiang, hugged him under the armpits, and let his head float to the surface of the water first so that he could catch his breath.
After that, the two of them stayed in the lotus pond holding the gourd, waiting for someone to come and rescue them.
Sun Boming was scared every time he heard it. If Master He San hadn't been there, he would have wanted to teach Sun Shan a lesson in person not to save people casually.
When Master He San heard Sun Shan's description of the rescue process, he was also frightened. Fortunately, the boy in front of him did not run out to call for help when he saw someone fall into the water, but tried to find a way to save him.
Master He San was very familiar with the distance between the lotus pond and the ancestral hall. After a couple of rounds, Brother Qiang would definitely be dead.
He said to Sun Bomin gratefully: "Your boy, although he is small, is brave, resourceful, and smart. He will definitely have a bright future."
Sun Bomin said a few polite words like "no, no", thinking in his heart that he would rather Shanzi be a little stupid than be smart enough to jump into the water to save people.
No matter how precious your life is, it cannot compare to my son Shanzi's life.
Uncle He said softly, "Uncle San, this is destined by heaven. Brother Qiang is not destined to die. It is obvious that he will have good fortune in the future."
I looked at Sun Shan with admiration. He was so wise and brave. In such a short time, he could think so carefully and save others while protecting himself. Not to mention a 6-year-old child, adults might not be as calm as Shanzi.
He Shuqiang felt that what Uncle He said was right. He was a blessed man. He smiled and said, "Grandpa, the abbot of the temple said that I am a blessed man. Even if I encounter danger, I can be saved. Hehe, the abbot is right. Look, I fell into the pond and Brother Shan appeared to save me."
Sun Shan looked at He Shuqiang speechlessly. He didn't know whether he was blessed or not, but he might not be so lucky next time.
When Master He San heard what He Shuqiang said, he ignored the outsiders and slapped He Shuqiang on the fat shoulder, saying angrily: "If you hadn't been so playful, you wouldn't have fallen into the lotus pond, and you wouldn't have made Shanzi sick. How dare you say that."
He Shuqiang's quiet sister stared with wide eyes when she saw her brother being beaten by his grandfather, and she covered her mouth and laughed secretly.
He Shuqiang lowered his head in embarrassment: "Brother Shan, I'm sorry for making you sick."
The village chief said lovingly, "Third Master, it's normal for children to like to play. Just be more careful next time. This time, Qiang'er has learned his lesson and knows how to be afraid, right?"
He Shuqiang nodded hastily, saying, "Yes, Grandpa Village Chief, I won't dare go to the lotus pond next time."
Aunt Sun patted He Shuqiang's round head and said, "Brother Qiang is a well-behaved boy. He will correct his mistakes if he knows they are wrong. Don't go out without permission. Grandpa and grandma will be worried."
He Shuqiang's sister, who was sitting quietly on the side, suddenly said, "Aunt Chunlan, I'm worried about my brother too."
As soon as the words fell, everyone laughed. Aunt Sun pulled He Chunyuan over and said with a smile: "Our sister Yuan is really a good sister. Brother Qiang, did you hear that? Your sister is really worried about you."
He Shuqiang patted He Chunyuan's fat hand with his fat hand and assured: "Sister, don't worry, I won't do it next time."
Then he said to Sun Shan: "Brother Shan, I won't run away on my own next time. Don't worry, I don't need you to save me anymore."
After hearing this, the adults burst into laughter again.
De Ge'er rolled his eyes and thought to himself that Shanzi would definitely not save him next time. His uncle had already said that if he dared to save people again and put himself in danger, he would break Shanzi's legs.
It was the first time that De Geer saw Sun Boming’s face turn dark, and he was a little scared.
Everyone chatted for a while, and Master He San mentioned finding someone to build a railing by the lotus pond tomorrow.
This time, Qiang Ge'er was lucky and was rescued by Sun Shan. Next time the child from the He family falls down, he won't be so lucky.
Speaking of this, Uncle He also agreed to add a railing around the pool. The He family has many children, especially the boys, who are very naughty.
Previously, a child from another place drowned in the lotus pond, and everyone felt it was dangerous, but since he was not a member of the He family, no one took it seriously for the time being.
If any descendant of the He family really fell in, the consequences would be different and the He clan members would be worried.
Seeing that it was getting late, Master He San took He Shuqiang back home. He Shuqiang didn't want to leave, so he had to coax and trick him into leaving.
Before leaving, he posted a message, saying that he would go to his house for dinner the next night to thank Sun Shan for saving his life.
