Chapter 122 Lychee Roast Goose
In the afternoon, Sun Yu Niang brought Bao Ge'er to visit the patient. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Sun Shan was fine. She repeatedly told Sun Shan to call an adult next time and not to act on his own to save others.
Sun Shan agreed and said "OK". Looking at the plump and cute Bao Ge'er, he wanted to pick him up, but he couldn't.
De Ge whispered, "Shan Zi, I noticed that the children in Hejia Village are all very fat. Is their village a place that only produces fat kids?"
Guyu glared at Deger, then hugged Baoger lovingly, saying how chubby he was and how lovable he was.
In the evening, Aunt Sun brought Sun Shan and others to the He family for dinner.
Old Mrs. He asked about his health and Sun Shan expressed his gratitude one by one.
He Shujin has gone to school, and only the four He brothers are left in the house.
He Shuyu touched Sun Shan's little head and said bluntly, "Shanzi, you are really capable! Qiangge'er is fatter and taller than you, but he dared to save others. Are you looking for death?"
Sun Shan quickly said, "Second cousin, I know I was wrong, and I won't do it again next time."
He Shusheng, He Shuhan, and He Shuyao also followed suit to criticize Sun Shan, and Sun Shan accepted their criticisms one by one.
Instead, He Dalang said, "Brother Bomin, I think your boy is smart. I heard from Brother Jing that he is good at studying. You should train him well."
Sun Bomin said modestly, "Not at all."
Uncle He also felt that what his elder brother said was right. Chunlan's family was smart. Chunlan was smart, and so was Jinger, who looked like Chunlan. Chunlan's nephew Shanzi was also smart. Fortunately, he married Chunlan.
When Uncle He saw He Shuyu laughing and playing, his expression suddenly changed. He said, "This guy is a poor student who dropped out of school very early. He looks like a member of the He family, but he is stupid."
Then he looked at He Shusheng, He Shuhan, and He Shuyao. They were no less stupid than Yu Ge'er.
Mrs. He also said a few words to praise Sun Shan's cleverness. In ancient times, Sima Guang broke the jar to save people, and now Sun Shan is hanging a gourd to save people.
Everyone burst into laughter when they heard it.
Sun Shan pretended to glance at He Dasao casually. She had a slim figure and a pretty face, completely different from Sun Dagu.
After a few days of observation, I found that Mrs. He treated the He brothers equally and did not show the petty nature that was rumored to be the case. Perhaps after the family business was divided, she became more open-minded and no longer had to engage in intrigue and fight over property, so her mentality became more balanced.
After dinner, they returned to the house. Guyu boiled another bowl of medicine. Sun Shan drank it in one breath, frowning. He drank so much medicine, but it still tasted so bad.
After waking up and having breakfast, Sun Boming and the village chief went to the shop to work again.
Because Sun Shan's illness had not yet been cured, Sun Bomin and the village chief did not dare to go back to the Sun family. They were most afraid that he would have a relapse on the way and would not be able to find a doctor.
I would rather stay in Hejia Village for a few more days until my body is well recovered before setting off again.
Aunt Sun bought some cloth and asked her servant Lai Fu's wife to teach Guyu needlework, and asked her to learn as much as she could. Lai Fu's wife was famous in the He family for her needlework, so it would be right to let her teach.
Sun Shan felt bored and wanted to practice calligraphy and read books.
He Shuyu donated paper, ink, pens and inkstone, and Sun Shan was very grateful, but De Ge'er complained bitterly.
I heard his voice before I saw him. At the door, I heard He Shuqiang's loud voice: "Brother Shan, I'm here to play with you."
He ran in hurriedly, followed by servants, maids, and his sister He Chunyuan.
Sun Shan asked curiously, "Brother Qiang, don't you have to go to school?"
Didn’t my second cousin say that the rules of the He family school are very strict and that one cannot take leave easily? Why is He Shuqiang doing nothing?
The little fat boy sat on the stool panting, took the tea brought by the servant, drank it in one gulp, and said carelessly: "My grandfather felt that I was not well enough, so he told me not to go to school. It won't be too late to go back when I am well. My grandfather said that I am so smart, it doesn't matter if I miss a few days of school."
Sun Shan's face was filled with black lines, while the little fat boy was full of energy. Looking from front to back, left to right, up to down, he didn't look like he was in poor health.
They say that loving mothers often spoil their children, but I think it’s loving grandfathers who often spoil their children.
The little girl He Chunyuan, who was sitting next to him, echoed, "My grandfather said that if you are in good health, you can study well. If you are not in good health, it is useless to study well. The imperial examination is based on health. If you are sick, you will not pass even if you are a genius."
He looked at Sun Shan strangely and asked, "Brother Shan, you are so sick, can you pass the exam?"
Sun Shan frowned and said seriously, "I'm just thin, not sick."
When De Geer saw the little girl saying this about Shanzi, he immediately retorted: "Shanzi is not sick at all. If he was not well, he would not be able to save your brother."
Even though Shanzi was indeed ill, he had to protect his brother in front of outsiders.
He Chunyuan has a round body, a round head, and round eyes. He said innocently, "Well, I understand. Brother Shan looks sick, but he is actually very healthy. He will definitely pass the exam in the future."
Sun Shan hurriedly asked, "Do your family members know that you two are coming?"
He Shuqiang waved his hand and told the servants and maids to wait at the gate and not to hinder him from playing with Sun Shan. He nodded and said, "Brother Shan, don't worry. I've already told Grandpa. I'll go to my house with you for dinner tonight."
His eyes rolled around and he whispered, "My family has made a lot of delicious food tonight, you should eat more."
He patted his belly and said, "I will eat more too."
When De Geer heard that there was something delicious, he immediately became interested and asked, "Brother Qiang, what are the delicious foods?"
As he asked, he slurped a few times and wiped away the non-existent saliva.
He Shuqiang said very seriously: "There is lychee roast goose to eat. It was ordered in Dongcheng. Hey, Brother Shan, Brother De, let me tell you, the roast goose is delicious. It is cooked with lychee wood, and the skin is very crispy. If you want to eat it, you must reserve it early. I haven't eaten it for a long time."
He Chunyuan stepped down from the stool, leaned on He Shuqiang, and said very seriously: "Brother Shan, Brother De, you are in for a treat, it's really delicious. My grandfather specially asked someone to make a reservation early in the morning, and brought it back from Dongcheng in the evening. It was freshly baked and served immediately. It's delicious. I love it the most."
After hearing this, De Ge'er drooled even more. He wished that evening would come immediately so that he could have dinner at Master He San's house.
Sun Shan watched the fat brother and fat sister's vivid description and came to a conclusion: the two siblings were foodies, no wonder they were so fat.
Sun Shan didn't want to discuss what to eat tonight. Even if it was delicious, it was for tonight.
Taking out the book, he said seriously, "Let's start studying now. If we don't study for a day, we will become unfamiliar with it. We should study persistently and not slack off. Brother Qiang, Sister Yuan, Brother De, let's study together."
As for Mr. He San asking for leave to help He Shuqiang recuperate, Sun Shan expressed his respect. But now that he was here, he should study hard.
In the morning, he practiced calligraphy and read for a while. The He brothers and sisters stayed to eat together. At noon, he took a nap. Sun Shan woke them up and continued reading.
Under the halo of Sun Shan's savior, He Shuqiang persisted and studied along with him.
De Ge'er made an excuse to go to the store to help out and ran away.
As for He Chunyuan, seeing that Sun Shan was still studying, she hurriedly asked the servants to send her home.
You can tell at first glance that he doesn't like studying.
