Chapter 160 Return to Sun Village

Chapter 160 Return to Sun Village

The next day, before dawn, Sun Shan and others had already gotten up and had breakfast.

The village chief carefully checked the luggage and was relieved only after making sure that nothing was missing.

This time when I went back, I not only bought some New Year's goods for my family, but also some New Year's gifts from Aunt Sun, Sun Yu Niang and He Shuqiang's family. It can be said that I had a great harvest.

Sun Shan finally understood the feeling of Granny Liu entering the Cao family in "Dream of the Red Chamber". Visiting poor relatives and rich relatives would ensure that she would not starve to death for a year.

It seems that having a rich relative is quite important. At least when you are poor and destitute, you have someone to turn to for money.

Of course, this kind of thinking should be looked down upon, but life is full of countless changes. If you are really left with no other options, you have no choice but to bow down for a few pieces of silver.

I have been here for several days, but I still haven't seen my cousin He Shujin. It seems that he is really studying hard. The Chinese New Year is just a few days away, but he hasn't had a holiday yet.

Sun Shan became even more determined to study hard and study harder, and he must study even harder than his native cousin.

Aunt Sun, Ming Ge'er and others saw the Sun family off.

Uncle Sun was hesitant in talking to Aunt Sun, mainly because of Ming Ge'er's marriage.

Aunt Sun and Uncle He had a headache when they heard about the marriage because there was a girl named He Shuyu in the family who was older than Ming'er.

So Aunt Sun and Uncle Sun jumped in and scolded Mingger and He Shuyu. Later, Uncle He, Sun Boming, the village chief, and Sun Yu Niang also joined in.

Sun Shan patted his chest in shock. The power of urging marriage is so strong that people who don't get married are not even breathing right. Their hearts are not big enough and they cannot survive.

When a ray of light appeared on the horizon, it saved Ming Ge'er and He Shuyu.

Uncle Sun sat on the donkey cart and did not forget to instruct: "Ming Ge'er, I'll give you another year. Next year, your mother and I will definitely find you a good girl. Let's settle down first."

The corner of Sun Shan's mouth twitched. He didn't expect that Uncle Sun, who was so dull, was actually the legendary king of urging marriage. With this, he had already issued a death order. As long as the girl was good, it would be fine. As for whether she was suitable or not, he didn't care so much.

The donkey cart, driven by a servant of the He family, slowly left Hejia Village.

An hour later, they gathered at the Huangyang County Escort Agency’s station at the provincial government.

The village chief took over the work with the escort agency, unloaded the New Year gifts from the He family's donkey cart, and moved them to the escort agency's car. He gave reward money to the He family's servants to thank them for their hard work.

After gathering all the people who wanted to return to Huangyang County, the escort agency officially set off.

Thanks to his experience from the first time, Sun Shan quickly found the right position and lay in Sun Boming's arms to recuperate.

He Shuqiang and He Chunyuan in Hejia Village got up early and ran to Aunt Sun's house, only to find that Sun Shan had left without saying goodbye again.

He Shuqiang's eyes were red, and he said sadly: "Brother Shan, why didn't you wait for me."

He Chunyuan did the same, pouting and asking, "Brother Shan promised to let me see you off yesterday."

Aunt Sun touched their foreheads and coaxed them left and right before she finally coaxed the He brothers and sisters away.

It is impossible to wait for the two siblings to come and say goodbye, mainly because it is too early and we cannot let the two siblings get up in the dark just to say goodbye.

After two days and one night, Sun Shan finally returned to Huangyang County. Walking from the bustling provincial capital to this small county town in the mountains, he felt like a lifetime ago.

For a while, I really couldn't adapt.

As it was already late in the afternoon, the village chief, Sun Boming, and Uncle Sun decided not to risk the danger of walking on the mountain road back to the village, and to go back early tomorrow morning.

Sun Shan was speechless. Even if the village chief wanted to return to the village at night, the people from the escort agency were unwilling to send them off.

There are still two carts of New Year gifts at the escort agency. If the agency is unwilling to send them away, the Sun family will have no way to leave.

Since they couldn't leave, the four of them went to the east area of ​​the commercial street to find an inn to spend the night.

The four of them had already quickly passed by Xia's Buyer Shop, but were still captured by Manager Xia.

Shopkeeper Xia asked his son to greet the guests, and hurried out, chasing after him and shouting, "My dear, my dear, his second brother is the village chief."

Sun Shan and his companions stopped, but they had no choice but to stop as they were all chasing after them.

It’s just that Huangyang County is too small, with only two or three inns, and it’s in the east district, so it’s hard not to pass by Manager Xia’s shop.

Shopkeeper Xia shouted anxiously, "Why did you come back so late? Yesterday, my mother-in-law went out to buy New Year's goods and came to me to ask me if something happened at the escort agency."

Sun Shan thought about it. Today is the 28th day of the lunar year, and tomorrow is the 29th day of the lunar year. There is no New Year's Eve this year, which means that tomorrow is New Year's Eve.

No wonder the escort agency just said they would help send us back to Sunjia Village tomorrow, but the fare would be more expensive.

Everyone knows that prices will increase during the Chinese New Year.

Sun Bomin was stopped by Shopkeeper Xia. Knowing he couldn't leave, he answered honestly, "Selling flowers took up some time. Alas, we didn't expect it to be so late."

The village chief echoed: "Fortunately, there is still a convoy back to Huangyang County, otherwise we would have to stay in the city for the New Year."

Uncle Sun also said: "This is the first time we are so late, next time we have to go earlier."

The group chatted for a while and were finally taken back to Xia's house by Manager Xia to spend the night.

Sun Boming really didn't want to go. After all, it was New Year's Day and it would be too much of a disturbance. Even if they were his relatives, he would feel embarrassed to go.

Manager Xia waved his hands and said, "It's so expensive to stay in an inn. We are country folk, so why would we stay in an inn? It's not like we don't have a place to stay. Well, stop talking and go. It's not nice to be on the street with so many people coming and going."

Shopkeeper Xia led Sun Shan and others back to Xia's Buyi Shop and arranged for the village chief and others to rest in the backyard and go back to the Xia family together later.

Xia Zhiguang came out, greeted everyone, and went back in to entertain the guests.

The New Year is coming soon, and today is the only day left if I want to buy something, so business is particularly brisk.

Xia Zhiguang was not busy selling cloth, but couplets and door gods. No one knew where he got the goods. He believed in diversification of business.

When night falls, all the shops close.

Shopkeeper Xia led the Sun family to Xiaowang Village.

The village chief smiled and said, "My dear, your business is good, isn't it?"

Shopkeeper Xia shook his head and said, "Business is a little better at the end of the year, but it's not that good during normal times."

The peak season for most businesses is during the Chinese New Year, especially for Shopkeeper Xia's cloth shop. Everyone saves money throughout the year and has to buy some cloth to make new clothes or to mend their clothes for the next three years. They always have to buy cloth.

Xia Zhiguang was holding a lantern in front, holding Sun Shan's hand, and asked softly, "Shanzi, are you selling flowers in Luofu City? How are your sales?"

Sun Shan replied crisply: "It's OK. You don't need me to sell it. Grandpa He helped us sell it. It was sold out in no time."

Xia Zhiguang understood that there was a big tree behind him, which provided shade and helped him sell things faster.

Xia Zhiguang added, "On the 27th of the lunar year, we went to Sunjia Village, and my aunt gave us several pots of hydrangeas. Shanzi, the flowers you planted are so beautiful, and our whole family loves them."

Sun Shan shook his head and said, "Not only did I grow these flowers, but my whole family grew them. Brother Zhiguang, I'm glad you like them. I'll send you flowers next year."

As everyone chatted, they soon arrived at Xiaowang Village.
