Chapter 156: Using Other People's Money to Show Filial Piety
Since the He family doesn't want a commission, Sun Shan can't just do nothing. Thinking of the roast goose with lychees I ate last time, I really miss it.
I approached He Shuyu and asked, "Second cousin, where can I buy roast goose with lychees? I didn't see any sold in Hejiacun."
There is roast goose, but it is not lychee roast goose, but Ho Ka Tsuen roast goose.
He Shuyu asked curiously, "What's wrong? Are you greedy?"
This doesn't look like the usual Shanzi, but more like the usual Dege'er.
Sun Shan explained, "Grandpa He helps me sell flowers and doesn't ask for a share, so I have to treat him to a meal. I heard from my aunt that Grandpa He likes to eat roast goose, especially the lychee roast goose from Dongcheng, so I want to treat him to some."
Then he glanced at He Shuyu and added, "I want to treat you to a meal, too."
He Shuyu chuckled. The latter part must be fake, but Shanzi was really thoughtful and even thought of treating his grandfather to roast goose. He smiled and said, "No, you can keep the money for school. My grandfather doesn't like roast goose. You remembered it wrong."
Of course Sun Shan didn't believe it, but if he was asked to take it to buy it, he would definitely not be willing to do so. Without further ado, he returned to the house.
Fortunately, in addition to knowing my eldest aunt and Aunt Yu Niang's family, He Jiacun also has a good friend, He Shuqiang. When he comes over, I will ask him to bring the things to buy.
Don't talk about people during the day, as you will soon be gone.
As soon as I thought of He Shuqiang, he ran over, followed by the burden He Chunyuan.
He Shuqiang sat on the chair panting, and soon the servants brought a bowl of water to the brother and sister.
The two little fat boys gulped down a big gulp and wiped their mouths with their handkerchiefs.
He Shuqiang said loudly: "Brother Shan, I'm here to play with you."
After drinking the water, He Chunyuan ran to the backyard. After a while, he came out again and asked in confusion, "Brother Shan, where are those beautiful flowers?"
Sun Shan slowly explained: "The flowers have been sold. If you want to see them, you can only wait until next year."
He Chunyuan stared with eyes wide open, and said in disbelief: "Brother Shan, how do you sell flowers? The flowers are so beautiful, how can you bear to sell them?"
Sun Shan was speechless. It seemed as if the words were saying: The rabbit is so cute, why did you eat it?
Without waiting for Sun Shan's reply, He Shuqiang answered as a matter of course: "With so many flowers, we must sell them. If we don't sell them, how can we get the money? Brother Shan, am I right?"
Sun Shan nodded and said, "Brother Qiang, you are right. I will sell them all today and exchange them for silver."
He Shuqiang looked at his sister proudly, thinking that his sister was very silly and naive.
He Chunyuan pursed her lips and said with red eyes: "If I sell it, I will never see beautiful flowers again."
Sun Shan quickly explained: "Yuan Jie'er, do you like those flowers?"
He Chunyuan nodded hastily.
Sun Shan continued, "You like flowers, and so do others. We can't put the flowers away and prevent those who like flowers from buying them. You have three pots at home, so you can look at them every day. If others buy them, they can also look at them every day. You don't want people who like flowers to miss out on them, do you?"
He Chunyuan was confused by Sun Shan and didn't understand what he meant. He looked at you with wet eyes.
He Shuqiang spoke directly and sternly, "Yuan Jie'er, if Huahua is sold, we will have money. With money, Brother Shan can buy books to study. If we don't sell it, Brother Shan will have no money to buy books to study. You don't want Brother Shan to have no books to study, do you?"
He Shuqiang often heard his grandfather say that if the family's business was good, they would have money, and with money, they could go to school. Although he didn't like studying very much, Shan Ge liked it very much.
He Shuqiang doesn't want Shan Ge to be unable to study.
He Chunyuan's eyes were red, and he said softly, "Brother Shan, Huahua is sold if it's sold. You like reading so much, you can't be without books to read."
Not only He Shuqiang knew that Sun Shan liked reading, He Chunyuan knew it too.
Sun Shan was the first person she saw who was still studying despite being sick.
Sun Shan really didn't know how to coax a child. In the past, he would give him candy, ice cream, or toys. Now he had no tools at hand and was at a loss. Fortunately, He Shuqiang coaxed him.
Sun Shan asked, "Brother Qiang, do you know where to buy delicious roast goose with lychees?"
When they heard about food, the two siblings' eyes lit up.
He Shuqiang said quickly, "Brother Shan, I know that roast goose with lychees is delicious. It's in Dongcheng, and we can get there in an incense stick of time."
He Shuqiang's family are all fat, not only because of genetics, but also because of food. Wherever there is delicious food, He San Laoye will go there as soon as he hears about it. In the past, he would take He Shuqiang's father to look for it, and now he would take He Shuqiang and his two brothers and sisters to look for it.
Old Master He San often took He Shuqiang to queue up to buy lychee roast goose.
Old Master He San firmly believed that the things he queued up to buy were much more fragrant than those the servants queued up to buy.
Sun Shan asked quickly: "Is there any left if I buy it now?"
It was around 5: in the afternoon and I didn’t know if there was still anything for sale.
He Shuqiang nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, it's not too late now. It's almost the New Year these days, and the teahouse is doing more."
Sun Shan understood that it was the end of the year now, and no matter how frugal he was throughout the year, he still wanted to buy some delicious food to reward his family.
The shop wants to take advantage of this period to make more money and go home for the New Year.
Since they had bought it, it would be a bad idea to eat it sooner or later, so the three of them, led by four servants, hurried to the East City.
It was Sun Shan’s first time to visit East City. It was much quieter than South City, with fewer people, neater streets and more majestic buildings.
This is the privileged area of the provincial government. I heard that the autumn examination is also held here, but I don’t know its exact location.
After walking for half an hour, the three stopped at a teahouse called "Da Ling Shan Roast Goose".
Ah Cai, who accompanied him, introduced: "Master Sun, this teahouse has tea and snacks inside, and they sell roast goose with lychees outside."
Sun Shan understood that this was the restaurant in his previous life. People drank tea and ate meals inside, and there was a small window outside for selling roast meats to the public.
At this time, three people were already in the queue. There was a dense crowd of people in front of them, and it seemed that business was really good.
He Shuqiang sniffed the aroma wafting through the air and drooled as he said, "Brother Shan, besides the roast goose, the white-cut chicken is also delicious."
He Chunyuan quickly added: "The snacks inside are also delicious. Grandpa and Dad haven't brought us here for a long time."
Speaking of this, He Shuqiang also complained: "Brother Shan, my grandpa and dad are trying to lose weight recently and can't eat too much meat. Hey, my sister and I don't have meat to eat."
He Chunyuan nodded hurriedly: "Brother Shan, I haven't eaten roast goose or chicken legs for a long time."
So the two siblings looked at you pitifully, as if you were the culprit who did not give them meat to eat.
Sun Shan hesitated. He heard that roast goose with lychees was very expensive. He was reluctant to spend money to treat his brother and sister to it. What should he do?
The He brothers and sisters seemed to see through Sun Shan's little thoughts. They pursed their lips, and tears instantly filled their round eyes. They stared at you wetly without saying a word.
Sun Shan couldn't stand it and said timidly, "I'll treat you to chicken legs."
He Shuqiang said hurriedly: "Brother Shan, my grandfather and father really want to eat roast goose, but my grandmother and mother won't let them buy it. They are so miserable."
He Chunyuan echoed, "Brother Shan, my grandfather and father are so pitiful. They have lost a lot of weight and are living a life worse than death every day."
Sun Shan was speechless. What a filial son and grandson, using other people's money to fulfill his filial piety.
