Chapter 151 Sun Shan Sells Flowers
In the evening, Aunt Sun and Uncle He came back. When they saw Shanzi, they hugged him, kissed him a few times, and said lovingly, "Our Shanzi has grown taller again."
The eldest aunt was lying with her eyes open. Love had blinded her eyes.
Sun Shan looked up and asked with concern, "Aunt, are you okay? I haven't seen you for a long time."
Aunt Sun put Sun Shan down, took his hand and walked into the main hall, saying with a smile: "All right, everything is fine. I, your aunt, will soon become a grandmother."
The village chief and others were also delighted when they heard this, and said cheerfully, "Brother Jin has a daughter-in-law?"
Aunt Sun smiled and said, "It's been four months. Time flies. In a few months, I will be a grandmother."
Sun Shan bowed and congratulated, "Congratulations to my uncle, aunt, and cousin. I will soon have a nephew."
Nowadays, people like to have a boy, so if you want to express your sincere blessing, you must say it.
Sure enough, my aunt and uncle were smiling with great satisfaction.
The eldest aunt pulled Sunshan over and tapped his little head: "Thank you for your good words."
The village chief said quickly: "Children are the most accurate in their words. This baby must be a boy."
Uncle He smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl. It's not bad to have another girl in the family."
The He family currently has five sons, so it would be nice to have a granddaughter.
Sun Shan didn't know whether Uncle He was sincere or not, but he still wished his eldest cousin's wife to have a boy, so as to ensure it first and avoid too much pressure.
He Shuyu and Liang Mengyao had only been married for a year and a half, but in the letter sent home by Aunt Sun she had already complained that her eldest cousin's wife was not pregnant yet. In this era, women would be under tremendous pressure if they did not get pregnant for a year or half a year after marriage. If they could not give birth to a son, the pressure would be even more unimaginable.
Sun Shan didn't dare to think anymore. The more he thought, the less he would grow. He kept his original intention and integrated into the environment.
After chatting for a while, everyone went to the He family’s old house for dinner.
The old lady of the He family is in good health and there is no change.
He Dalang and He Dasao have grown a little older, and I don't know if it's because of the pressure, after all, my eldest cousin is about to become a father, and He's uncle is about to become a grandfather. He Dalang's son is still a child, so it's inevitable that he is anxious.
On the contrary, He's father and mother seem to be getting younger and younger, full of energy, smiling all the time when they see people, and are especially warm to the Sun family.
As for my eldest cousin He Shuyu, he is still studying hard in the academy, and I heard that he will take the autumn examination next year.
My eldest cousin's wife, with a big belly, bowed and greeted the Sun family, speaking the not very standard Guangnan dialect. She followed the local customs and was a good wife who tried hard to fit in.
The four He brothers were still enthusiastic about Sun Shan. They pulled Sun Shan aside to ask him all kinds of questions, and even asked why De Ge'er didn't come.
Sun Shan lied with his eyes wide open, and replied: "Brother De really likes to study now. He won't come until the school is closed for the holiday."
The four brothers of the He family expressed their disbelief, saying that De Ge'er was not from here.
But their parents and grandparents believed it.
He's father said sternly, "You four have to listen to this. De Ge'er knows that he has to go to school, but what about you? You are all clamoring not to go to school. What a shame."
He glanced fiercely at the four brothers of the He family, especially He Shuyu, who had dropped out of school to work in production, and cursed in his heart that it was because of this person who took the lead and made his younger brothers unwilling to study.
He Shuyu didn't know that this was the image of himself in his grandfather's mind. If he knew, he would definitely refute it, saying that he was like the He family members, grandfather, and father who didn't like to read and gave up reading early, so naturally he couldn't read anymore either.
The village chief quickly interrupted and said, "It doesn't matter whether you like studying or not. The most important thing is to be safe and happy."
Everyone agreed with this statement. Mrs. He smiled and said, "That's right. What I hope most is that my family is safe and healthy."
After chatting for a while, men and women sat down separately.
He Shuyu and his three brothers hugged Sun Shan and huddled together.
He Shusheng whispered, "Shanzi, you are so cunning, did you say that on purpose?"
Sun Shan shook his head: "No, I didn't say anything."
He Shuhan and He Shuyao didn't believe it and said that Sun Shan said so on purpose and they would not let him go tonight.
After a quarrel, Sun Shan's bowl was filled with food and he was forced to eat until he vomited as a punishment.
In the end, He Shuyu couldn't stand it anymore and helped Sun Shan eat the food.
After dinner, we naturally talked about citrus fruits.
25 wen per jin, He's father wants 1000 jin, and the clan wants 2000 jin. It's the New Year, and there are more contacts. 3000 jin is insignificant for Hejia Village. 10 jin per person, only 300 households can be given. What's more, they have to keep it for themselves, because the Sun family's oranges are really delicious.
Afterwards, the He family helped the villagers in Sunjia Village sell some dried goods, such as dried bamboo shoots, dried vegetables, dried mushrooms, etc. He Dalang helped with the sales, and they were all sold out in less than two days.
The village chief was relieved that the fruit could be sold and the villagers could have a better year. At the same time, he was very grateful to the He family for taking care of the people of Sunjia Village.
The next day, the village chief, Sun Bomin, Sun Ershu, and Sun Shan visited He Wenshu with New Year gifts.
It can be seen that He Wenshu's family was even happier with this arrival, because after Sun Yu Niang gave birth to Baoger, she gave birth to another younger brother.
Now Sun Yu Niang already has two boys and her status is quite stable.
At the same time, it also confirmed the rumor that the Sun family's daughter would give birth to a child, making some members of the He family who were unable to give birth to a son ready to make a move again.
When we entered He Wenshu's house, everyone greeted each other.
Sun Shan saw the fat and fair Baoger and his thin and small younger brother.
Oh, these two brothers, one fat and one thin, standing together, are quite funny. And what's even funnier is that both brothers look like He Wenshu, one fat and one thin.
He Wenshu and He Liyang held two children each, and happily chatted with the village chief and others. Of course, they talked most about the interesting stories of Bao Ge'er and his brothers. They were the kind of people who just found something to talk about. After all, they hadn't seen each other for a year, so how could they have so much to talk about?
After lunch, Sun Boming, Uncle Sun and the village chief went to the candy shop to help out. They were born to be hard workers and would feel itchy all over if they didn't work for a day.
As for Sun Shan, he went to find his second cousin He Shuyu.
Pointing to the densely packed hydrangeas in the yard, he said, "Second cousin, do you have any connections to help me sell the New Year flowers? I want to sell them all at once, without setting up a stall."
These two days, I saw some people in Hejia Village starting to sell New Year flowers.
Aunt Sun had already placed two pots of oranges at the door of the store.
He Shuyu saw the hydrangeas early in the morning and was surprised by their colorful flowers, a visual feast.
Touch this flower, touch that flower, each pot is blooming very beautifully. Small pots, each pot has 5 large flowers.
Some are pure blue, some are pure purple, some are pure pink, some are pure white. There are also 5 large flowers with 5 colors.
He said admiringly: "Shanzi, how did you grow these hydrangeas? They are so beautiful!"
Sun Shan said proudly, "It's very easy to grow."
In fact, it was not easy. I failed many times along the way before I finally grew 2000 pots that I was satisfied with.
I asked anxiously: "Second cousin, do you think anyone wants these flowers?" After all, they had not been sold yet, and I was worried that they would not be popular in the market.
He Shuyu said confidently: "Yes, there will definitely be people who want it. I would also like to have a few pots to display at home.
