Chapter 157 Human Traffickers
In the end, no one knew how it happened, but Sun Shan bought three roast geese, two for the He family and one for He Shuqiang and his sister.
Three people were walking on the street carrying roast geese.
He Shuqiang said happily: "Brother Shan, thank you, I finally have roast goose to eat."
He Chunyuan raised his white and plump face and said, "Brother Shan, you are such a good person."
Sun Shan was carrying a roast goose, the aroma was fragrant, but his heart was bleeding.
One roast goose weighs as much as 1 liang, and three of them weigh 3 liang.
Thinking about how hard I worked to grow flowers, each pot only cost 30 wen, and that's before deducting the cost. It takes 30 pots to exchange for a roast goose, and three of them will get 100 pots of flowers.
Thinking of this, Sun Shan wished he could give up growing flowers and sell roast goose.
Of course, this was just a thought. After a while, Sun Shan figured it out. He sold 60 taels and agreed to give one-tenth of it to He's father, which was 6 taels. Now he only spent 3 taels and still made a profit.
As for sending a roast goose to the He brothers and sisters, he felt relieved when he thought of the 100 taels of thank-you money given by Old Master He San.
Sun Shan smiled and said, "When you go back, you brothers and sisters should give the four roast goose legs to Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, and Mom. They worked hard to raise you, so you should be filial to them."
He Chunyuan paused. He originally wanted to eat the roast goose legs himself and let his family eat the roast goose head, but Shan Ge said so. If he didn't give the roast goose legs to the elders, would he be unfilial?
He Shuqiang said frankly: "Brother Shan, don't worry, the delicious food will definitely be given to Grandpa and the others, and my sister and I will not eat the unpalatable food."
I thought to myself that grandpa and the others would definitely not be willing to eat the roast goose legs and would definitely leave them for themselves.
Sun Shan said approvingly, "Brother Qiang, you did a good job. I will do the same in the future."
The three of them returned to Hejia Village and it was almost dark.
He Shuqiang and his sister said goodbye to Sun Shan: "Brother Shan, I will come to play with you tomorrow. It's a holiday and you don't have to go to class."
Sun Shan waved his hand and asked them to leave.
When I walked into the dessert shop, I saw He Shuyu looking after the shop. The village chief, Sun Boming and Uncle Sun were probably busy in the backyard.
As for Aunt Sun and Uncle He, they went to the dessert shop in East City early in the morning to pay the bill, and it was even busier there.
He Shuyu opened his eyes wide and saw Sun Shan carrying two roast geese. He asked in surprise, "Shanzi, where did you buy them?"
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the "Da Ling Shan" restaurant, which is famous for its lychee roast goose.
Sun Shan smiled and said, "Shu Qiang and I went to buy it together. We'll have extra food tonight."
As for sending a roast goose to the He brothers and sisters, there is no need to say anything about it, so as not to cause trouble. Anyway, the money is in hand and Sun Boming can't do anything about it.
He Shuyu sighed a few times and said with emotion: "Shanzi, I really don't know how to describe you."
It turns out that what my uncle said was true. Shanzi was really very opinionated and my uncle was often helpless. It seemed that no matter what you said, Shanzi would do what he was going to do.
Sun Shan said seriously, "Second cousin, I really want to thank Grandpa He. Our Sun family is what it is today, all thanks to you. It's only right that I treat you to roast goose."
He Shuyu was carefree. When she heard what Sun Shan said, she laughed out loud: "I'm in for a treat tonight. I love roast goose legs."
Sun Shan rolled his eyes at He Shuyu and said, "You have no shame. You are old enough to get engaged, but you are still fighting with a kid for roast goose legs."
He Shuyu grabbed Sun Shan again and ruffled his hair before letting him go.
He rushed into the backyard and asked Ming Ge'er to look after the shop, while he led Sun Shan and carried the roast goose back to the He family's old house.
The next morning, after eating roast goose, Sun Shan felt hot. He went to the kitchen and asked the servants to make some herbal tea.
Sun Bomin said unhappily, "Shanzi, don't eat anything so hot next time, okay?"
Sun Shan hummed, and Sun Bomin didn't say much either. They followed the village chief and Uncle Sun to work in the dessert shop.
I have already booked a convoy for the day after tomorrow, which will also be the last convoy back to Huangyang County. If I don't go back, I'm afraid I'll have to stay in Hejia Village for the New Year.
He Shuqiang and He Chunyuan came over again.
He Shuqiang said happily: "Brother Shan, there will be acrobatics in Hejia Village today. Let's go and watch it. It's really good."
He Chunyuan also said happily: "Brother Shan, there is a play to watch today. Let's go and watch it together. It's really good."
Sun Shan was not interested in acrobatics or plays, especially places with a lot of people.
He shook his head and said, "I'm not going. There are too many people."
Then he said to the He brothers and sisters: "You shouldn't go either. If you run into human traffickers, they will kidnap you and you will never see your parents again."
He Shuqiang didn't believe it and explained, "Brother Shan, that's impossible. Last year, there were acrobatics and plays to watch, but no one's children were kidnapped."
He Chunyuan didn't believe it either, and shouted, "Brother Shan, it's safe, nothing will happen, let's go out and play together."
Unfortunately, Sun Shan was not a real child. Firstly, he had no interest in watching acrobatics or plays. Secondly, he was a quiet person and did not like crowds.
She said firmly: "Brother Qiang, Sister Yuan, I won't go. If you want to watch, you can go. I still have to practice calligraphy."
That’s right, the thing that Sun Shan must not forget to do during these many days he has been here is to practice calligraphy.
There is no other reason, it’s just because Aunt Sun has endless paper to practice on.
If you don't seize the opportunity now, when will you?
It is really nice to practice calligraphy without any worries. When practicing calligraphy at home, I always feel reluctant to use paper and always try every possible way to save it.
He Shuqiang and his sister were very disappointed that Shan Ge actually liked practicing calligraphy instead of playing. Shan Ge was still the same Shan Ge, he hadn't changed at all.
The He siblings wanted to play with Sun Shan but also wanted to go out to play. They were torn between the two and finally decided to stay and practice calligraphy with Sun Shan.
There will be many opportunities to watch acrobatics and plays, but there will be few opportunities to play with Shan Ge. Shan Ge will return to Sunjia Village the day after tomorrow, and I don’t know when he will come to Hejia Village again.
The three of them practiced calligraphy quietly at the table, occasionally discussing with each other how to write better.
After practicing calligraphy, the three of them studied together, which was exactly the same as the first time they fell into the city.
Suddenly, there was a noise outside, and soon a group of people rushed in.
Sun Shan looked carefully and found that it was He Shuqiang's mother.
He Shuqiang and He Chunyuan asked in confusion: "Mother, how did you get here?"
Sun Shan quickly stood up and greeted Mrs. He.
Mrs. He let out a long sigh of relief and said, "So you are all here. Oh, I was scared to death."
Sun Shan and others were puzzled and looked at Mrs. He in doubt.
A maid explained in the back: "Master, Miss, Master Sun, there are human traffickers outside. Fortunately, you didn't go out to play. Oh, you scared Madam so much that her heart almost jumped out of her chest."
He Shuqiang and his sister told the He family early in the morning that they wanted to go play with Sun Shan, and also said they were going to watch acrobatics and a play.
Mrs. He was already used to the two siblings liking to play with the Sun family boy, so she waved her hand and asked the servant to follow them.
I thought that as long as I didn't go to the river, the water, or the pond, I would be fine. The villagers in Hejia Village are all familiar faces everywhere.
Who knew that there was news that human traffickers outside had knocked out several children and abducted them, scaring Mrs. He so much that she almost fainted.
The He family couldn't find the two siblings no matter how hard they looked. Suddenly they remembered that Dagu Sun's house was where the two siblings could go to play with Sun Shan.
I hurried over and found that the three of them were practicing calligraphy and reading.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, Mrs. He and the servants wouldn't have believed that the young master and young lady loved studying so much and read so seriously.
Thinking about whether the sun was rising from the west, my worries about the human traffickers were thrown aside.
