Chapter 179: Protect Yourself and Make a Difference

Sure enough, when Sun Boming and Su heard that Zeng Jiajun's family ran a security company, they immediately understood that he could continue studying.

Sun Bomin recalled: "I have seen the owner of the escort agency. His surname seemed to be Zeng. I don't know if he is his father."

Sun Bomin discussed the situation of the escort agency with Su again.

Sun Shan chatted with Sun Bomin and Su, and told them about the students he met in the school.

Sun Bomin and Su listened with great interest.

Finally, Sun Shan was so sleepy that he couldn't stand it anymore and ran back to sleep.

The next day, before he woke up, he was rocked to and fro. Sun Shan tried hard to open his eyes, and through the sunlight, he saw that it was De Ge'er, and was about to speak.

De Geer put his hands on his hips and said loudly, "Shanzi, you're back. Wait for me to come back and play with you after class."

After saying this, he turned around beautifully and ran out again.

At this time, Sun Shan was fully awake. The Zheng School and the Hong School had different holiday schedules, so De Ge'er still had to go to school today.

Sun Shan had no desire to sleep, and even if he did, he would not sleep.

After breakfast, I walked around the yard for a few laps and then returned to my bedroom-cum-study to read.

Continue to study according to the plan, step by step, without pursuing speed or lagging behind.

Follow your own set schedule.

Sun Shan took out the book and read aloud for a while. When he finished reading, he recited it. After reciting it, he wrote it down on paper.

Doing this can enhance memory and increase writing speed.

After reading for a whole morning, Guyu called out in the yard, "Brother, have lunch."

Sun Shan responded, walked out of the bedroom and into the main room. Su and Sun Bomin were still in the orchard and had not returned yet.

Weeds grow wildly in spring and weeding is a big problem. Unfortunately, there are no pesticides here, so we can only weed manually.

As for several common herbicides, Sun Shan knows how to make them, but the cost is high.

For example, a mixture of white vinegar, salt, wood ash, etc. in a certain proportion can kill weeds.

But this approach is doomed to fail because the cost is too high. Manual weeding is several times cheaper than this.

Sun Shan called out to Huang and sat next to her to eat lunch. As for his four sisters, they ate sweet potatoes and taro, and the meal was only for Huang and Sun Shan.

Every time this happened, Sun Shan felt uncomfortable, but he couldn't stand the rules.

Everything in the family was created by Huang, Sun Boming and Su, and they hold the financial power.

Sun Shan had no right to ask his sisters to eat together.

This is how the economic base determines the superstructure. Whoever holds the economic power has the right to speak.

After lunch, Lixia went to herd cattle again, Xiaoman and Hanlu followed their friends in the village to chop wood and pick wild vegetables, and Huang went into the bedroom to take a nap. Although she was only in her 50s, she was nothing like the 50s in her previous life.

After losing the head of the family more than a dozen or twenty years ago, Huang had a hard time raising the children alone. She was only in her 50s and seemed unable to cope with the situation.

As for Guyu, she stayed at home and did housework.

Sun Shan went to the backyard to look at the flowers.

This year, we planted hydrangeas again, and the scale is still the same as last year. But we planted some daffodils next to them, and the daffodils here are only white and yellow.

There are currently no conditions to cultivate different varieties, but they can be artificially dyed with different colors.

Dyeing daffodils is actually very simple.

Choose daffodils that are about to bloom or have just bloomed for about a day, and inject natural food coloring into the upper third of their pedicels. The flowers will change color in about two days, and the flowers that can bloom will be of various colors.

Of course, you cannot use red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and purple inks for dyeing here, as doing so will greatly shorten the flowering period and be unfavorable for sales.

Sun Shan decided to continue his family's flower-growing business. He would not take the ordinary route but the opportunistic niche route, focusing on being small and beautiful.

Guyu walked into the bedroom and found that his brother was not there. He went to the backyard and saw him arranging flowers and plants.

He said hurriedly: "Shanzi, you don't have to do these jobs, I will do it, you just study hard."

Sun Shan shook his head and said, "Sister, I will do it too. If I don't do it, I don't know how the flowers will grow."

Guyu thought about it and felt that his younger brother was right. His younger brother was the only one in the family who knew how to grow the new varieties. If he didn’t take a look, he really wouldn’t know whether they were grown well or not.

Then he ordered: "Teach us how to plant these daffodils, so you don't have to do it anymore."

At first, the four sisters didn’t know how to grow hydrangeas, but after two years of learning, everyone figured it out.

So you don’t need to take care of the hydrangea at home. Just check it occasionally, and tell you how to solve it if you find any problems.

Sun Shan nodded. Planting flowers did require help from his family. He was in school all day and had no time to take care of flowers and plants.

So Sun Shan patiently explained to Guyu how to loosen the soil, water and apply fertilizer.

He smiled and said, "Big sister, I'll leave the planting to you. I can only come back to take care of it during my day off."

Guyu smiled slightly, shook her head and said, "It's no trouble at all. We are all happy that the flowers at home can be sold for money."

After looking around to see if there was anyone around, she whispered, "Brother, don't tell anyone how to grow hydrangeas, or else someone will learn how to grow them and our flowers will become worthless."

Sun Shan will not tell anyone, but others will plant it sooner or later.

It was not easy to explain so much, so I agreed: "Sister, I understand, I won't say anything."

The two siblings squatted in the flower bed, chatting and arranging the flowers and plants.

Sun Shan asked in confusion: "Sister, when did we build a door in our backyard?"

The old house of the Sun family not only has many houses, but also is very large. There is a large open space behind the three main rooms. In the past, this was where Grandpa Sun Shan dried medicinal herbs. After Grandpa passed away, this place was left empty for sundries.

Later, Sun Shan wanted to plant flowers, so Sun Boming and Su plowed the land into ridges.

When I came back from the county town this time, I found that the entire backyard was blocked by a fence and there was a gate. If I wanted to come in and see the flowers, I had to open the gate.

Guyu whispered, "Ever since we went to the provincial government to sell flowers, I don't know who spread the word that we made a lot of money selling flowers. All sorts of aunts and uncles came to our house to see the flowers. Dad got really annoyed, so he built a fence and locked the gate so that no one could see us."

In fact, Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun also came to see what was going on, and said all sorts of sarcastic words, but their main purpose was to get Sun Boming to take him to plant flowers.

Sun Bomin was unwilling to do so, because Sun Shan said that if he planted too many flowers, they would be worthless. If Sun Sanshu planted them, the price of the flowers would be too low, and he would not make much money, so why would he plant them?

So he ignored Uncle Sun and his wife.

Seeing that his eldest brother's route was not working, Uncle Sun decided to follow his mother Huang's route.

But I don’t know how to say it, Uncle Sun was completely defeated and went home obediently, but he occasionally felt sour when he saw the eldest wife.

Sun Shan was stunned. He couldn't expect this to be the reason.

In fact, it is okay to teach villagers how to grow flowers, but I am afraid that everyone will start growing flowers and not even grow crops in the fields. If the market is bad, they will suffer losses, which will be terrible.

The small peasant economy cannot afford any risk, and Sun Shan would never dare to encourage villagers to grow flowers.

If he wanted to lead his fellow villagers to the road of prosperity, he had to at least pass the imperial examination or become a wealthy man so that he could provide a safety net for Sunjia Village.

It is obviously impossible to do so at the moment, so we have no choice but to protect ourselves and accumulate strength for a breakthrough.

The daffodils injected with food coloring are also very beautiful. Very novel, hahaha
