Chapter 161 As long as it sells well, it's worth the two years of hard work
When they walked into the yard, Old Man Xia came out to greet them and said happily, "You are back, Village Chief Sun, my dear in-laws, please come in."
Sun Shan walked into the main room, where a charcoal fire had already been lit, and the room instantly became much warmer.
Then he greeted the Xia family members one by one.
Mrs. Xia said loudly, "Oh, Village Chief Sun, you guys came back so late. Your family must be worried."
The village chief smiled bitterly and said, "We didn't want that either. It delayed our business."
Sun Bomin greeted everyone and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry to bother you again."
Old Man Xia waved his hands quickly: "It's no use disturbing you. We're a family, there's no need to talk about this."
Everyone chatted for a while, and when they were warm, Mrs. Xia took her daughter-in-law and granddaughter to the kitchen to get busy.
Old Man Xia, Shopkeeper Xia, Xia Zhiguang and his brother Xia Zhizong were chatting with everyone, mainly the village chief talking about what he had seen and heard in the capital, and the Xia family were listening.
Xia Zhizong said enviously: "Shanzi, you have been to the city twice, but I have not been there yet. I also want to go and see it."
People from small places yearn for big cities, so it's normal to want to go and see them.
Sun Shan encouraged him, "Brother Zhizong, you will definitely have the opportunity to go there in the future."
Xia Zhizong worked as a handyman at the government post station. He got this job by asking for favors, using connections, and spending a lot of money.
Although the salary is not high, it is stable and sounds good to talk about. Many people will envy it.
Xia Zhiguang smiled and said, "Second brother, don't talk about you. I have never been to the capital either. I want to go there if I have the chance."
Sun Shan said: "Brother Zhiguang, you can go with your uncle to get the goods, so that you will have a chance to go to the capital."
Xia Zhiguang also knew that he could go to the provincial capital to get the goods, but the cost was too high. In order to save money, Manager Xia usually went to the provincial capital alone to get the goods, or wrote to familiar suppliers to ask them to directly give the goods to the escort agency and ask them to ship them over.
It’s not easy to go to the capital city.
After everyone chatted for a while, the women of the Xia family called for dinner.
Men and women sat separately. Sun Shan was at the men's table. There were only Mrs. Xia, Mrs. Song and Xia Xiaomei at the women's table, so there was very little food.
After Sun Shan and his companions had finished their meal, they stopped chatting. They were tired from the journey, so they went to bed early and covered themselves with blankets.
Xia Zhiguang, Xia Zhizong and Sun Shan slept in the same room.
While his brother was washing his face, Xia Zhiguang whispered, "Shanzi, I have a gift here. Can you give it to Guyu for me?"
Sun Shan rubbed his eyes, looked at the exquisite wooden box, and then glanced at Xia Zhiguang whose face was blushing.
I got it in seconds! Being a carrier pigeon is like being a tool!
Xia Zhiguang said again: "Give it to Big Sister secretly, don't let anyone know, okay?"
Sun Shan is happy to do this kind of thing, young couples giving each other gifts to enhance their relationship, I understand!
He happily took the wooden box, put it in his big purse, and promised earnestly: "Brother Zhiguang, don't worry, I will give it to my elder sister quietly and won't let anyone know."
Xia Zhiguang felt relieved. Although he had not spent much time with Shanzi, from the few conversations they had, he knew that Shanzi was different from ordinary children and was a steady and trustworthy boy. He could rest assured in handing the things to him.
I heard from Guyu that Shanzi was able to keep the red envelope money at such a young age, which shows that he is quite capable.
Xia Zhiguang took out 10 copper coins from his purse and said with a smile, "Here, this is for my brother to buy you some candy."
After that, he stuffed the money into Sun Shan's big purse and said gently, "Brother, it's not much, don't despise it."
Sun Shan quickly shook his head: "I don't mind, thank you Brother Zhiguang."
Sun Shan did not refuse. It was only natural for a brother-in-law to give his brother-in-law pocket money. Moreover, it was reasonable for him to receive a few copper coins as labor fee for helping him deliver things.
The next morning, the village chief, Sun Boming, and Uncle Sun got up early and were eager to go home.
Everyone quickly came to the escort agency, completed the handover, called a vehicle, and rushed back to Sunjia Village as quickly as possible.
Sun Boming picked up some local specialties and gave them to the Xia family. He said goodbye in a hurry. If he didn't leave now, he would delay the coachman from returning home for the New Year's Eve dinner.
After rushing back to Sunjia Village at noon, we finally arrived. Seeing the familiar country road, Sunshan felt more peaceful than ever before.
Hometown is always hometown, where the soul rests.
Su saw Sun Bomin and the others and rushed over. After confirming that Sun Shan was safe and sound, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked anxiously, "Uncle, head of the family, second brother, why are you so late?"
Huang and Su were worried that something had happened to them. After all, they had never tried it since they came back that night. If the city wasn't too far away and they were women, Su really wanted to go find someone.
Sun Shan shouted crisply, "Mother, I'm back. Are you all right at home?"
Su followed the donkey cart back to the old house and said with relief, "Mother is fine, everything is fine at home, don't worry. Don't go next time, let your father and others go."
The head of the family is so grown up, Su will be worried, but not the most worried. What makes people restless is Sun Shan, who is really a child. He is really worrying. He will not be allowed to stay in the capital city in the future.
Soon they reached the old house of the Sun family, and the family members helped unload the things. The village chief gave the fare and also gave the local specialties of the prefecture. The two drivers were very happy and said that they would remember to look for them next time.
After seeing off the coachman, the three sons of the village chief had already arrived and helped take away the things that belonged to the village chief.
The village chief said to the villagers who were watching the show, "Notify the whole village to gather at the ancestral hall. Chunlan and Yu Niang have brought back a lot of cotton-padded clothes and trousers. Those who didn't get them last time will be given this time."
When the villagers heard this, they clapped their hands excitedly. One of the old men said, "Oh, Chunlan and Yuniang are good girls. They are the good daughters of our Sun family. Even though they are rich, they still think about us poor villagers. The village chief and Bomin's mother taught us well, and we are enjoying the good life with them."
The village chief waved his hand and said with pride on his face: "Okay, stop talking so much, go to the ancestral hall and wait for the distribution of clothes so that you can celebrate the New Year."
If it wasn’t the first day of the new year tomorrow, the village chief really wouldn’t have been in a hurry to distribute it.
I came back in such a hurry that I had to work again before I could even catch my breath.
Chunlan and Yuniang hadn't brought old clothes back to the village for two years, so there were a lot of clothes this time. The village chief thought that those that were not distributed last time should be covered.
The village chief led his son and carried several sacks of clothes to the ancestral hall.
The Sun family moved the New Year gifts back to the bedroom. Huang took Sun Shan to look at him carefully. After making sure that he had not lost weight, she felt relieved and said lovingly, "My dear grandson, are you tired?"
Sun Shan shook his head: "Not tired, grandma. I always take the bus, not walk."
It would be a lie to say that I am not tired, but I dare not say bad things in front of people who care about me, so as not to make them worry.
Guyu, Lixia, Xiaoman and Hanlu gathered around Sun Shan to watch. Guyu touched Sun Shan's little hand and found it was not cold. He felt relieved and asked in a low voice: "Shanzi, why did you come back so late? Are the flowers easy to sell?"
The four sisters looked at Sun Shan with sparkling eyes, waiting for his answer.
Sun Shan lived up to everyone's expectations and said, "They are selling well. Grandpa He helped us sell them. They are all sold out."
After hearing this, the women who stayed at home couldn't help but smile. As long as the product sells well, it would be worth their two years of hard work.
