Chapter 178 Going Home to Chat
It was already evening and dark when Sun Boming and Sun Shan returned to Sunjia Village.
The early spring wind was still quite cold, and Sun Shan couldn't help but sneeze.
Su heard the noise of vehicles outside and ran out in a hurry. She saw Sun Shan and Sun Bomin and heard Sun Shan sneezing. She asked anxiously, "What's wrong with Shanzi? Are you cold?"
He looked at Sun Shan carefully, touched his clothes, and asked Sun Bomin in a reproachful manner: "Boss, why is Shanzi wearing so little? Don't you pay attention?"
After a pause, he continued, "Why did you come back so late? It's dangerous."
In fact, there was another sentence in my mind: It’s bad enough that I’m in danger, but I’m also taking my son with me.
Sun Shan quickly explained: "Mother, I'm fine. I'm not cold. I sneezed just now because my nose was itchy."
Sun Shan was still wearing a cotton jacket and really didn't feel cold at all. As for why he sneezed, it might be because he was suddenly blown by the cold wind.
Sun Bomin not only did not blame Su, but felt that what she said made sense: "Oh, I didn't think it through. I wasted time shopping, so I came back late."
The truth is that I chatted with Mr. Hong for too long and wasted time. But how could the Master be wrong? The only one who was wrong was me.
The three of them walked into the old house of the Sun family. Grain Rain, Beginning of Summer, Grain Full, and Cold Dew were one step slower than the Su family.
After seeing Sun Shan, he shouted excitedly: "Brother, you are back."
Huang in the inner room was also anxious. Because she was old, her legs and feet were not as good as those of the young. She walked out slowly and shouted anxiously, "Is that Shanzi? Are you back?"
When I saw Sun Shan, all I could see was Sun Shan.
He touched Sun Shan's little face and said distressedly, "Oh, you've lost weight, my dear grandson, you've lost weight. Is studying very hard for you?"
Sun Shan's nose was sour and his eyes were swollen. He pretended to be calm and said, "Grandma, I'm not thin. Studying is not hard at all. I love studying the most."
He helped Huang into the main room, where charcoal was still burning.
Huang is old and afraid of cold. Even after winter, he still uses charcoal to keep warm. Those who can afford it in the countryside buy charcoal and make their own fire. Those who can't afford it go to bed early and wrap themselves in a blanket.
Huang obviously didn't believe Sun Shan's words, and said to Su, "Hurry up and bring out the dinner, my Shanzi is hungry."
Before Su could take any action, Xiaoman and Hanlu had already run to the kitchen to get out the food.
Huang said distressedly, "Come here, my dear grandson, eat it over charcoal fire, it won't get cold.
Sun Shan sat by the fire. Lixia brought a small stool and put the food on it. She said with concern, "Eat quickly, Shanzi. You've been walking for most of the day and you must be hungry."
As for Sun Bomin, he also sat beside the charcoal fire and ate together.
Sun Shan was definitely hungry, because Sun Boming was also very hungry. They came back together, so there was no reason why one of them should be hungry while the other one should not.
Su brought the two of them egg and wolfberry soup and ordered, "Come, have some soup."
Huang asked in confusion: "Bomin, why did you come back so late?"
Looking lovingly at my grandson eating, I finally felt relieved from all the worry I had felt for so many days. Although my grandson looked a little thinner, he still looked good.
Sun Bomin explained again that it took time to buy things, so he was so late.
Suddenly he thought of something and said to Su: "Mother, I bought some small fish and a few pounds of fat. You can take out the fat and make lard first."
Su asked: "What are you buying fish for?" Buying fatty meat is understandable, but what can you do with small fish?
Sun Bomin explained: "Shanzi's salted fish and bacon were all gone, and there was no more at home, so we made some flour and fried fish for Shanzi to take back to school to eat."
After hearing this, Mrs. Su said approvingly, "The head of the household is indeed very thoughtful. I, as the mother, have never thought of this. I will go now."
After saying that, he took the four maids out to work.
Huang nodded and said, "Let's do it tonight, otherwise it will smell too bad if we do it tomorrow and let others know."
The Sun family’s old house is in the center of the village, and the neighbors are close by. The fried food smells so delicious that some greedy people will come to the house to eat it.
If I give it, I feel reluctant. If I don’t give it, people will say I’m stingy.
It’s better to do it at night when everyone is sleeping.
Su and Huang had obviously the same idea. She told her four daughters to clean up the small fish and went to the kitchen to boil lard. She thought of putting the lard residue into a jar for Sun Shan to take back to school to eat.
A thousand days at home is good, a day away is hard. The food outside is no match for the food at home.
Su felt sorry for Sun Shan because he had no good food to eat.
The Sun family divided the work and worked together. After dinner, Sun Shan was full of energy and walked in circles in the yard.
After taking a walk, he returned to the main room to chat with Huang.
At this moment she was mending clothes. It was really hard for her. Despite her age, her ordinary craftsmanship was still not rusty, and she could still mend clothes carefully.
Huang asked gently, "Shanzi, are you doing well in school? Are you getting along well with your classmates? Are you understanding the teacher's lectures?"
Sun Shan raised his head, looking at Huang with what he thought was a very innocent side profile, and patiently replied: "Grandma, I am doing fine in school. My classmates are very kind to me, and since I am the youngest, they all help me. The teacher is even better, and is very patient with me. I understand everything the teacher teaches."
After a pause, he said to Huang: "The man who lives with me is called Hong Jian. He is older than me and takes good care of me. He wakes me up every morning."
In this way, the school's affairs were shared with Huang.
Huang listened carefully, nodded occasionally, and said a few words from time to time. The grandparents and grandchildren were having a great time.
When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Sun Shan helped Huang into the bedroom to sleep, and then he ran to the kitchen to check on Su and Sun Boming. The sisters had already gone back to their room to sleep.
There was a huge pile of lard residue, and the whole kitchen was filled with fragrance.
Su said quickly, "Shanzi, it's too late, you should go to bed. You must be tired today, you have been traveling all day."
Sun Shan shook his head and said, "Mother, I'm not tired."
He also talked about the school with Su and Sun Boming.
The two people listened with joy.
Su asked in surprise, "You said there is a 15-year-old in your school who has been studying for several years and is still in Class C with you?"
Sun San hummed.
That's right, the three of them were talking about Zeng Jiajun. After nearly a month of observation, Zeng Jiajun was undoubtedly a poor student.
Sun Bomin sighed and said, "After studying for so many years, I am still in Class C. I am not cut out for studying. I should have gone home or learned a craft somewhere else a long time ago."
Sun Shan also explained that Zeng Jiajun's family was not short of money and did not mind Zeng Jiajun continuing to study.
Mr. Hong has already advised them, but Zeng Jiajun's parents don't care.
Sun Shan smiled and said, "Father, mother, Zeng Jiajun is the son of the head of the Huangyang County Escort Agency."
I thought to myself, no wonder there was money for Zeng Jiajun to waste, it turned out that he was the son of the escort agency boss.
Anyone who can open an escort agency is a capable person who has influence in both the black and white worlds.
Sun Shan also learned about Zeng Jiajun's life experience from Du Zhipu.
