Chapter 149 I want to save it for my younger brother

Song still smiled and said, "Shanzi, I heard that the He family your eldest aunt married into is very powerful and has produced many high-ranking officials."

Sun Shan said as if he was right: "The He family is very powerful, many members of the He family hold high positions in the capital.

Grandma, auntie, oh, Hejia Village is so beautiful. The streets there are all paved with stone slabs, so you don’t have to get your feet wet when it rains.

Their houses are all made of blue bricks. My aunt’s dessert shop is two stories high.”

Then he showed her side profile and asked innocently, "Grandma, aunt, have you ever seen a three-story house? I have seen it and even went in to eat. My eldest aunt took us there."

Mrs. Xia and Mrs. Song stared with wide eyes, wondering where they had seen this before. The farthest place they had been was Huangyang County. Not to mention a three-story building, there was only one room in the two-story house.

It’s nowhere near as prosperous as other provincial capitals.

Mrs. Xia and Mrs. Song asked a lot of questions about Aunt Sun. After all, Aunt Sun's life was too legendary. In the past, they only heard about her from others, but now it was told by people around her in person, so the effect would definitely be different.

Speaking of Sun Shan's dry mouth, Sun Bomin and Manager Xia finally came back.

Sun Shan felt that he was not suitable for chatting with women, as he had to talk endlessly and keep smiling. He thought that this job was suitable for De Ge'er and he should be asked to come over to chat.

Sun Bomin hurriedly got the car ready and said to the Xia family, "My dear relatives, we have to go back first. It's a bit late today. If we go any later, we will have to travel at night. Let's talk again when we have time."

Mrs. Xia also knew that if it was too late, they would have to walk in the dark, and they would have to walk along a mountain road to return to Sunjia Village, so she said with concern, "Go back quickly, and be careful on the mountain road. It will be bad if it's too late."

Then Song put a bag of candies and biscuits on the ox cart and said, "Take these back and give them to the children."

Sun Bomin couldn't refuse. Seeing that it was getting late, he hurriedly drove the ox cart out of the city.

Sun Shan sat on the ox cart, and Sun Bomin was leading the ox in front.

Occasionally he would turn around and ask, "Shanzi, are you hungry? If you are hungry, have some candy or biscuits. There is a water bag next to you."

Sun Shan was lying on the ox cart, swaying forward, and responded: "Father, I'm not hungry."

Then he thought for a while and said, "Dad, do we still have money? Should we buy a house or a shop in the county town?

Sun Shan thinks the most conservative investment is either buying land or buying a house or a shop.

As for the fields, all the fields around Sunjia Village have owners, and there are few wastelands.

There are more mountains than plains, so no matter how you develop it, it won’t come out of nowhere.

In the past two years, Sun Bomin and Su have reclaimed another 2 mu of wasteland. Now they have 4 mu of wasteland. Even if they want to reclaim more, they can't find a flat piece of land to cultivate.

As for the hilltop, it belongs to the government. If the government wants to buy it, they have to buy a large piece. The Sun family did not buy it.

Firstly, I don’t have enough money, and secondly, there’s no use buying anything. I can only grow fruits and herbs, etc. The cost is too high, and the initial investment is high, so I don’t want to take the risk.

Sun Shan thought it would be better to buy a house and a shop in the county town and rent them out to others.

Sun Bomin quickly shook his head and said, "It's not that easy to buy a house. It's too expensive. We country people can't afford it."

Sun Shan understood what Sun Bomin was thinking.

It’s not that they can’t afford it, but that they don’t want to take risks or make changes.

For him, life is pretty good now. The family has land, a house and only one son, so there is no need to build another house.

As long as you educate your son well, he will have someone to rely on when he is old.

Sun Boming and Su thought that they should save money while they were still young so that when they passed away, they would have some money left for their children and grandchildren so that they could live a better life.

As for buying a house or a shop, he had never thought about it. If he had the money to buy something, he would rather save it and have it in front of him.

Sun Shan said no more. Sun Boming was right to do so. At least he had a strong ability to resist risks, and if anything happened in the future, he would have money to cover it.

As for making money, if you don’t have the brains for it, you’d better not do it.

I fell asleep slowly, and when I opened my eyes, it was already dark.

Sun Shan rubbed his eyes and asked, "Dad, are we there yet?"

Sun Bomin quickly responded: "Almost there, go down the slope and you will see the village."

Sun Boming was sweating all over. He was really scared walking in the mountains at night. He must not do that again next time because Shanzi was there.

With lingering fear, he said, "Next time, we must come back earlier and not walk at night."

Sun Shan nodded in agreement. Fortunately, he had just fallen asleep, so he was not afraid at all.

Seeing Sunjia Village, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

There were two lights flickering in the distance. Before I even entered the entrance of Sunjia Village, someone in the distance called out, "Boss, Shanzi, is that you?"

Sun Bomin responded: "Yes, it's us, we are back."

Then two flames moved over quickly, and upon closer inspection, they were Su and Lixia.

Lixia asked worriedly, "Dad, Shanzi, why are you so late? Is everything going well?"

Sun Shan was still sitting on the ox cart and wanted to get off, but Sun Boming kept moving forward and refused to get off.

He called out, "Mother, Second Sister."

Su hurried forward and took a closer look at Sun Shan. She found that he was fine, and breathed a sigh of relief. She turned around and complained, "Master, why are you so late? Shanzi is here."

What it means is that not only are you late, but you also make Sun Shan late. Not only are you in danger, but Sun Shan must not be in danger.

Sun Bomin didn't mind, and even agreed: "I didn't want to either, but Hong Xiucai talked to us for too long, which wasted a lot of time."

Su was puzzled. What could the head of the family talk about with the scholar? They were not the same kind of people.

He quickly asked, "Boss, what did you talk about? Did Shanzi become your disciple smoothly?"

Sun Bomin was leading the cow in front, and Su was holding a torch to provide lighting.

Sun Shan sat on the ox cart and Lixia followed beside him.

Sun Shan gave the candy and biscuits to Lixia. Lixia covered her mouth and ate them secretly.

If I don't eat it now, when will I eat it? When I go back, either my grandma or my mother will put it away. Anyway, I will only keep a small amount for myself.

Sun Bomin smiled naively: "It went smoothly, very smoothly. Mr. Hong praised Shanzi for his solid foundation, good academic performance and promising future."

After hearing this, Su's face, which was full of wrinkles from years of hard work, laughed and said proudly, "Hehe, Shanzi is like his older cousin. He has always been very good at studying. Scholar Hong is indeed a scholar. He has good vision."

Sun Bomin said anxiously: "Don't speak too loudly, it's not good if people hear you."

Su immediately covered her mouth, forgetting that she was still on the village path, and hurriedly whispered, "Master, I am just happy for the moment, I won't do that again in the future."

Sun Shan and Lixia covered their mouths and giggled in the back, especially Lixia, who did not forget to grab a handful of candy and put it in her pocket to share with her sisters when she got back.

After a while, Sun Shan and others returned home.

Huang, who was waiting anxiously, came out and opened the door. The first thing she said was, "Don't be so late next time. If you can't make it in time, you might as well stay overnight in the county."

Sun Bomin nodded and admitted his mistake: "Mother, I understand. I won't do it again next time."

When we got back home, it was already 8 o'clock in the evening. Especially in winter, it gets dark very quickly, so Huang and others couldn't help but worry.

Soon, it’s time to have meals during Grain Rain, Grain Full and Cold Dew.

Sun Shan and Sun Bomin talked about what happened today while eating.

As for the candies and biscuits that the Xia family gave as a return gift, just as Lixia said, Su had collected them early and placed them in Huang's bedroom. She also warned the four sisters not to eat them secretly, as they had to save them for their younger brother.
