Chapter 126 Sun Shan Wants to Take the Imperial Examination

When Sun Shan first heard the news, he was secretly delighted. He thought that staying in Hejia Village would only benefit him and not harm him. There were high-quality teaching resources and better living conditions here.

Then I saw Sun Bomin's confused and painful look, and I remembered that when he was a child, Sun Bomin and Su carried him on their backs in the mountains in the wind and rain to go to the county town for medical treatment. This kind of love is too deep.

If I choose to stay in the capital, Sun Boming and Su will be so worried!

After thinking for a while, he said to He's father: "Grandpa He, I don't want to stay in Hejia Village. I want to go home."

In fact, he had another concern. He had to repay the favors he received, and Sun Shan didn't want to owe favors to others too early. He was also afraid that if Qiang Ge'er didn't learn well, he wouldn't be able to take the responsibility.

When Sun Bomin heard Sun Shan's words, his eyes lit up, then dimmed again. He reluctantly said, "Shanzi, if you really like to stay in Hejia Village, Daddy doesn't mind. You like reading, and there are many books in Hejia Village. If you stay here, you can read different books every day."

Aunt Sun pulled Sun Shan to her side and said patiently, "Shanzi, stay in Hejia Village and attend classes here. There are many opportunities. Don't miss them. Don't worry about your father and mother. They will take care of you.

You stay here and live with your aunt, and go to school with Qiang Ge'er. Your aunt knows that you have been sensible since you were young, and you can take care of yourself even if you stay in Hejia Village."

Then he said to Sun Bomin, "Brother, don't worry. Shanzi is staying in the city. I am here with you."

Aunt Sun really cared about Sun Shan. He thought that he would have no future if he stayed in the remote and poor Sunjia Village. But it was different in Hejia Village. Even if he failed to study, he would be better off seeing the world than Shankaka. There would be people who would want him if he went out to work.

Sun Bomin looked pale and said with difficulty: "Shanzi, your aunt is right. It is much better to stay in Hejia Village than in Sunjia Village."

When De Ge'er heard that Sun Shan could stay in the city, he wished he could take his place, but he also knew that he was not in the He family's eyes, so he did not dare to clamor to stay.

He said hurriedly: "Shanzi, the city is great, there are delicious food and fun things to do, you should stay here."

I was thinking that Shanzi would stay and pull me down after getting familiar with the place. Hehe, I am Shanzi's good brother, and he will definitely help me get rich.

Sun Shan shook his head and said, "I don't want to stay in Hejia Village. I want to go back to Sunjia Village. Aunt, I don't want to be a companion. If I accompany others to study, I will have no time to study. Aunt, I want to study."

After hearing this, everyone thought that Sun Shan was ignorant and was going to miss such a good opportunity.

After hearing this, Sun Bomin was secretly delighted. He thought it would be better for Shanzi to stay in Sunjia Village and keep him around.

Even with my older sister taking care of him, I still felt uneasy. Shanzi was only 6 years old, how could he leave his parents so early?

Aunt Sun touched Sun Shan's head, looked at her eldest brother's joy, and said helplessly: "Since you don't want to stay in Hejia Village, then we will tell Grandpa Qiang'er. It's just that you have to walk this road by yourself today, so don't regret it."

Sun Shan hummed, and De Ge'er beat his chest and stamped his feet, wishing he could slap Sun Shan a few times. Sun Shan was too ignorant to refuse such a good opportunity.

The village chief also sighed repeatedly, but when he saw Sun Boming's appearance, he felt relieved. As long as his parents were still alive, he would not travel far away.

Besides, Shanzi is too young, only 6 years old, which makes people worry. If Bomin's family had another son, it would be fine, but it is hard to give up the only child.

Uncle He said to Sun Shan seriously, "Shanzi, you must remember your choice today and don't feel resentful or regretful in the future."

Sun Shan said seriously: "Uncle, I know, and I don't regret it."

I had a good meal, but went home feeling heavy-hearted.

Guyu looked at his frail younger brother and agreed with his father that Shanzi was too young to stay in the city. He also agreed with his aunt that staying in the city would bring a bright future and that she would regret it if she missed the opportunity.

I think about this and that, but I still don’t know whose words are right.

After returning to Aunt Sun's house, Sun Shan said to Sun Bomin, "Father, I am almost recovered from my illness. It is time to go back to Sun Village. If I don't go back, my studies will be delayed too much."

Sun Bomin asked nervously, "Shanzi, are you really cured? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

Sun Shan shook his head, indicating that everything was fine and they could set off for home.

After a long silence, Sun Bomin looked confused and asked, "Shanzi, do you want to stay in Hejia Village and not ruin your future for your parents?

Daddy doesn't want you to stay in Hejia Village. You are too young and Daddy is worried. But if you really want to stay, Daddy won't stop you. When the time comes, Daddy and Mommy can come out to see you."

Sun Shan said firmly: "Father, I want to go back to Sun Village. I don't want to be a schoolmate, I don't want to follow others, I don't want to take care of others.

Dad, you have to believe me. No matter whether I am in Hejia Village or Sunjia Village, I can still pass the exam to become a scholar. I am so smart and hardworking, I will definitely pass it."

Even if you are not sure in your heart, you must be confident in what you say and encourage yourself.

Sun Bomin stared at Sun Shan blankly, and said, "Shanzi, do you want to take the imperial examination?"

Sun Shan nodded seriously and said, "Father, I want to take the imperial examination, like my elder cousin did. If I pass, our fields will be tax-free, and I won't have to do labor service. You will also have face and be able to hold your head up high in the village.

Father, even if you only have one son, it is better than those who have seven or eight. Father, when I go back, I will tell Master Zheng that I want to take the imperial examination. Will you support me?"

Sun Shan must take this opportunity to express his intention for the imperial examination and must not let Sun Bomin hold him back.

Sun Bomin said timidly: "Shanzi, the scientific research is very difficult, can you do it?"

I didn’t expect Shanzi to be so ambitious. It seemed like Sun Boming didn’t recognize his son.

Sun Shan said confidently, "Father, my eldest cousin said that I was a good student, and so did Old Master He San. They are more discerning and know how to judge people than us country folk."

Since everyone says I can do it, I definitely can. Dad, give me money to study, and when I grow up, I will make money to support you."

Sun Bomin was silent for a long time before saying, "Shanzi, since you want to take the imperial examination, your father supports you. It doesn't matter if you fail in the future. At that time, the most you can do is to be humble and ask your aunt to arrange a job for you."

Sun Boming really couldn't believe that Shanzi could pass the imperial examination and become a scholar. He thought that at most he could spend some money to let Shanzi study for a few more years. Anyway, all the family property belonged to him, so it didn't matter whether he gave it to him sooner or later.

If he really fails the exam, he will go to work at his elder sister's house. Now that Jing'er has passed the exam and become a scholar, his elder sister's position is more stable, and it is easier for her to arrange Shanzi's work.

Sun Boming thought that Shanzi still had many ways out. At worst, he could stay in Sunjia Village and not starve to death.

When Sun Shan heard that Sun Bomin supported his scientific research, he grinned in a very obscene way, with his dead fish eyes wide open, looking at Sun Bomin with joy.

Sun Boming also smiled. As long as Shanzi was safe and healthy, it didn't matter whether he had a promising future or not.

Parents only wish their children to have a smooth, happy and healthy life.
