Chapter 164 Don’t wash your spare clothes. Take them home and wash them.

Sun Shan felt mixed emotions when he saw his busy family.

It is better to stay at home for a thousand days than to go out for a day. In his previous life, Sun Shan was used to being alone. In this life, he was raised by his family. Now that he is studying away from home, he is no longer used to it.

Su fried the salted fish and put them in small jars, and said, "Shanzi, when you eat, take a few pieces and eat them. When you are done, mother will make more for you."

Huang helped Sun Shan put on his clothes and said, "Shanzi, when you go to school, you must dress well and don't get cold."

It was still very cold in early spring, and Huang was most afraid that Sun Shan would catch a cold.

Then he said to Su: "Put an extra blanket in case the wind blows and it gets even colder."

Su nodded and hurriedly went to pack another quilt. Soon there was another sack.

The busy Guyu asked: "Father, when will Shanzi take a day off?"

Sun Bomin thought for a moment and said, "I heard that we have four days off at the end of the month, and classes will continue the rest of the time."

At first, Sun Shan didn't understand why Mr. Hong arranged the holidays in this way. As far as he remembered, it was usually half a month, or two days off in ten days.

Then I thought about it and decided that placing it this way would make it more convenient for students who travel far away to get home.

For people like Sun Shan, it takes half a day to walk from the county town to Sunjia Village. If he has two days off, he can go home and spend a night there, and then go to school the next day, which means he doesn't have much of a holiday.

Concentrating the holidays at the end of the month can allow students who travel far away to stay at home for a day or two longer.

Sun Shan's favorability towards Mr. Hong soared rapidly. He is truly a considerate and good teacher.

When Guyu heard that the festival would be held at the end of the month, he thought it was too long and said reluctantly, "It will only be held four days a month, and I can only see Shanzi once a month."

Su was also very reluctant to let Shanzi go. She wished that Shanzi would not go to the county town to study and stay in Zheng's school.

After thinking for a while, he still said nothing. Shanzi loved reading and was preparing to take the exam to become a scholar. He thought that he would not have a future if he studied in Zhengjia Village.

Lixia said regretfully, "I wanted to ask Shanzi not to wash his spare clothes but to take them home to wash. But a month is too long. If you don't wash them, they will get smelly."

If you go home for seven or eight days, you can save your clothes for washing at home. A month is too long. First, the clothes will smell, and second, there won't be that many clothes to wash.

After hearing what Lixia said, Sun Boming, Su and Huang also felt regretful and could only trouble Shanzi to wash the clothes himself.

Sun Shan was moved after hearing this, but even if he had a day off every seven days, he would not fail to wash his clothes. It was too dirty and he looked like a second-generation rich kid.

Xiaoman rolled her eyes and said loudly, "Dad, Mom, when my elder sister marries into the Xia family and lives in the county town, she can help my younger brother with his laundry."

Then he said to Sun Shan, "Shanzi, please bear with it for a while. My eldest sister will be getting married in the fall. You can wash clothes for a few months first. Then ask my eldest sister to help you wash clothes."

Hanlu also agreed, "Third sister is right. It will be more convenient for my eldest sister to take care of my younger brother if she marries into the Xia family."

Sun Shan was petrified instantly. Is this reasonable?

Except for Sun Shan, everyone else present nodded quickly.

Su's eyes lit up and she said, "The third girl is right. It will be much better when the eldest girl marries into the Xia family."

Then he said to Guyu, "You must take good care of Shanzi when the time comes, understand?"

When Guyu heard about getting married, her face and ears turned red, but she still nodded and said, "Mother, I know."

Sun Shan opened his eyes wide and looked at everyone present. They all looked as if it was a matter of course. He was suddenly speechless.

Forget it, no need to argue, just do your own work and never trouble your elder sister Guyu. You can't let her have a rift with her husband's family because of her natal family.

Sun Boming and Su had already packed three large sacks of miscellaneous things. Sun Shan couldn't understand where they got so many things.

Then Sun Bomin brought out a large box, locked it with a key, and said, "Shanzi, put your valuables in it and hang the key around your neck so that no one can steal it."

Sun Shan thought that he would spend most of his time in school, so he brought all his books with him.

Sun Boming’s big box is very useful, and these books are very valuable.

He nodded and said, "Dad, I understand. I'm going to put the book in there."

Sun Bomin put the book in, and also put in two taels of silver, and said earnestly: "The money here is for your emergency use, please keep it well and don't lose it."

After a busy whole day, packing from morning to night, discussing back and forth what to bring, I finally packed all the things I needed to take to school.

Before dawn the next day, Sun Shan was pulled out of bed by Guyu, and he quickly washed and changed into a newly made long gown.

Su always thought that her son would look handsome in a long gown like Master Zheng's, and wanted to get several for Sun Shan.

Sun Shan didn't like wearing long gowns because they were inconvenient. He hurriedly shouted, "Mother, please don't wear too much. I'm growing taller soon and it won't fit me."

My height hasn't changed much, so the clothes I wore last year still fit me this year.

Su stopped making the gown because she thought the child was growing fast.

After breakfast, at daybreak, Huang came in from the courtyard and urged, "Hurry up and leave. Go early, don't be too late, or you will displease the Master."

He took out a red envelope from his pocket and said, "May our ancestors bless my good grandson to have a smooth and safe life."

Sun Shan took the red envelope solemnly and said with a smile, "Grandma, I will go home during the holidays."

Huang gently stroked Sun Shan's cheeks with her hands and said lovingly, "Okay, grandma will wait for you at home."

As Sun Shan had a lot of luggage, Su was worried about him and wanted to visit the school in person before she could feel at ease.

This time, Su will accompany Sun Bomin to send Sun Shan to the school.

Huang saw that it was already bright, and shouted, "Hurry up and set off."

Sun Bomin was ready. He carried Sun Shan to the ox cart. Su followed beside him and said to Huang and the four girls, "We are leaving. Don't worry."

So he pulled the ox cart slowly along the country path, walked out of the village, and went up the mountain road to Huangyang County.

Sun Bomin was pulling the ox cart in front, Su was watching the packages at the back, and Sun Shan was sitting on the ox cart.

The three of them walked slowly forward, heading towards an unknown path in life.

It was already morning when they arrived at the county gate. After the city guards finished their inspection, the three of them quickly arrived at Hong's School.

It is still quite quiet in front of the school. Today is the day for boarding students to register, and tomorrow is the day for the formal classes to start.

Sun Bomin did not stop at the school gate, but walked forward a few steps and came to the gate of the small courtyard of the dormitory.

Uncle Hong saw Sun Boming from a distance. Although he had only met him once, he was deeply impressed by him, the kind of deep impression left by hunger.

He walked over and said with a smile, "Brother Sun, you are here. Those who live in the dormitory should come in this way."

I took a look at the things on the ox cart, and saw several large sacks full. The corners of my mouth twitched. It was the first time I saw students bringing so many things to the dormitory.

Sun Bomin said happily: "Brother Hong, OK, we'll come in."

Fortunately, the door of the small courtyard was big enough for a bullock cart to enter.

Sun Shan and Su greeted Uncle Hong and followed Sun Bomin into the yard.

Su Shi was relieved when she saw the clean yard and tidy house. The accommodation was good. Although it was not as big as her home, it was much better than those in the village.
