Chapter 150 Going to the Provincial Government Again

Chapter 150 Going to the Provincial Government Again

Three days later, Sun Bomin and Sun Shan were going to the provincial government, one to sell oranges and the other to sell New Year flowers.

It has been two years since Ming Ge'er returned to Sunjia Village. Uncle Sun missed him so much that he followed him.

Uncle Sun threw a tantrum and wanted to go with him, but the village chief righteously refused. In Sunjia Village, the village chief's words were imperial decrees, and after receiving Huang's order, the village chief was even more confident.

Uncle Sun had no choice but to secretly draw circles and curse the village chief.

As for De Ge'er, he didn't make any noise or fuss, because no one knew that Sun Shan was going to the provincial capital. They thought that only Sun Bomin, Sun Ershu and the village chief were going.

By the time they learned that Sun Shan had also gone with them, it was already too late.

De Ge'er beat his chest and stamped his feet and shouted: "Shan Zi, you liar, I will never play with you again."

Uncle Sun was even angrier. Every child could go, so why wasn't he allowed to go? He went to argue with Huang.

Huang let him argue. After all, the eldest and the second son had already left, and his arguing could not change the facts.

As for Aunt Sun, she was even more sarcastic, saying that the village chief and Huang were biased, and she kept singing this song in the village.

However, the women and wives in the village knew Aunt Sun's temper and were unwilling to even agree with her. Everyone knew that she had offended Aunt Sun and there was no benefit in trying to please her.

As for Uncle Sun, there were still people who came over to him. Blood is thicker than water, and he is still their brother after all. Even if they were angry, they couldn't bear to ignore him.

At this time, Sun Shan, Sun Bomin, Sun Ershu, and the village chief had already arrived at the gate of the provincial government.

The Huangyang County Escort Agency had arrived at its destination. Because there were several carts of tangerines, Sun Bomin asked the Escort Agency's convoy to enter the city and go to Hejia Village together.

When Sun Shan and his companions reached the city gate, the official saw cart after cart of oranges and asked in confusion, "Are these brought into the city to be sold?"

The village chief shook his head and said, "No, I picked them from the farm and gave them to someone in the city." Then he took out a letter from the He family and stamped it with the He family's seal.

The officials also understood that the wealthy families had farms outside the city, and during festivals, they would definitely pick some crops to bring into the city to eat or give as gifts.

Since these were for personal use, of course no tax was levied. Moreover, there was a certificate. The official quickly let them go.

Before leaving, the village chief specially picked up a bag of oranges and put it at the city gate, saying, "Sir, thank you for your hard work, officer."

As for the officials, they were not surprised. After all, they did not ask for it. The people gave it so enthusiastically, so they had to accept it.

When we entered the city, we all breathed a sigh of relief. We were most afraid of encountering difficult officials, but fortunately, every time we had a letter, it was passed smoothly.

Sun Shan sat on the donkey cart, looking at the city gate getting farther and farther away. Two years later, the provincial capital became more prosperous, and there were more passengers and merchants entering and leaving the city gate.

Sun Shan learned that the provincial government generally collected taxes on valuable items such as silk and porcelain, and the taxes were very heavy, depending on the type.

As for agricultural products, vegetables, fruits, etc. that are sold by individuals in the city, we will not accept them. If there are a lot, we will accept them, but not too much.

Of course, if you have a business connection with a wealthy family, or know the people guarding the city gate, they will turn a blind eye.

As for the personal entry fee, it is not charged, but your household registration is randomly checked. The officials will not care about a child like Sun Shan, after all, he is not yet an adult, and he does not have to pay taxes whether he has a household registration or not.

After walking for an hour, they finally arrived at the village archway of Hejia Village. The village chief called the driver to stop and hurried to Sun Dagu's dessert shop.

After a while, He Shuyu and Ming Ge'er came out.

When Uncle Sun saw his son, his eyes were red.

Ming Ge'er did the same, choking with sobs and shouting, "Dad, you're here."

The village chief said hurriedly, "Let's talk about the past later. Let's unload the oranges first. We have to hurry out of the city."

It's already afternoon. If I don't leave the city now, I won't be able to leave. I can't delay others.

He Shuyu said cheerfully: "Grandpa, eldest uncle, second uncle, please follow me."

Sun Shan looked at Ming Ge'er. He hadn't seen him for two years. He had grown taller and stronger, and his temperament had completely changed. Now he looked like a man who had seen the world and was no longer the timid man he was in Sunjia Village.

As for my second cousin He Shuyu, there has not been much change. The only change is that he looks more and more like Uncle He. He is not tall and is thin, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looks very energetic.

He Shuyu suddenly rubbed Sun Shan's little face, showing twelve teeth, and laughed: "Shanzi, what's wrong, you're so dazed? Are you still asleep?"

Sun Shan struggled desperately but failed to break free. He Shuyu only let go after rubbing him enough.

With a red face, she said, "Second cousin, you are a bad person. You hurt me."

When Sun Boming and others saw this, they burst into laughter.

Sun Bomin explained: "Shanzi may be tired. His butt is sore from sitting in the car all the way."

He Shuyu laughed even more wantonly, nodded Sun Shan's little head, and said cheerfully: "Uncle, my little cousin is still so thin and short. He probably doesn't eat."

Sun Shan was even more speechless. He was talking about something irrelevant. In the past two years, De Ge'er's height has skyrocketed.

What about Sun Shan? He finally exceeded 1 meter, but he is still not 1 meters. It is really sad to talk about this.

In the past two years, Sun Shan has been jumping around in the yard every night.

Sun Bomin and Su once suspected that he was possessed by evil spirits.

Sun Shan helplessly told them that he had read in a book that jumping like this would make one grow taller.

But what was the effect? ​​It can be said that there was no effect at all. Sun Shan was still a dwarf. I just hope that he can grow up rapidly when he is in middle school and high school.

Led by He Shuyu and Ming Ge'er, Sun Boming and others quickly arrived at Sun Dagu's house.

The coachman hurriedly unloaded the goods. After the village chief settled the bill, he thanked the people from the escort agency profusely and saw them off.

Sun Shan asked doubtfully, "Second cousin, where are my aunt and uncle?"

He Shuyu smiled slightly and said, "I went to the store in Dongcheng to check out. I won't be back until tonight."

Sun Shan understood that the New Year was approaching, so it was natural to settle the accounts in advance.

After the village chief saw that the things were put away, he said to Ming Ge'er and He Shuyu, "Go back to the store and work. We'll talk about it in the evening. We can't leave the store empty."

He Shuyu said slowly: "It's okay, Grandpa, there are other guys in the store."

Sun Bomin, Uncle Sun, and the village chief didn't think so: "How can it be the same? You are the young master, so you have to watch out. Ming Ge'er, you too, your aunt asked you to work, so you are not allowed to be lazy."

After hearing this, Sun Shan covered his mouth and laughed.

The village chief, Sun Boming, and Uncle Sun cannot stand people having idleness. The people in Sunjia Village must work like oxen and horses, non-stop until the moment they die.

In their eyes, if your hands stop working, then your mouth stops working. If you don’t work, you are lazy and not a good person.

He Shuyu and Ming Ge'er went back to the shop reluctantly, and Uncle Sun followed them, mainly because he wanted to see how Ming Ge'er worked.

As for Sun Bomin, the village chief stayed behind to sort the oranges.

Those that have been sorted out in the village must be picked out for fear that some will be damaged during transportation, and those sold to the He family must be of high quality so as not to be impolite.

Sun Shan was sorting hydrangeas. This time, 2000 hydrangeas were delivered, and they had to be sorted out pot by pot so that the hydrangeas could be displayed until after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. As for whether they could be grown well or not after that, it was no longer important.

New Year flowers only live during the New Year period, after which they will be thrown into the trash can.
