Chapter 181 Return to School
It was said to be a 4-day holiday, but in total I only stayed at home for 2 days.
The 4-day holiday passed quickly. On the last day of the holiday, Sun Shan got up early in the morning and packed his things. Sun Boming and Su put the packages on the ox cart.
Huang instructed: "You should leave quickly, don't be too late."
It took Sun Bomin half a day to take Sun Shan to the school, and half a day for him to come back. They had to set out early in the morning to go back and forth.
Then she said to Sun Shan, "My dear grandson, take good care of yourself. If you are hungry, eat some cakes. Grandma packed a lot of cakes for you. Eat them slowly. When you come back next month, Grandma will pack more for you."
Sun Shan hummed and said with emotion: "Grandma, I understand. I will eat when I am hungry. You should also take good care of yourself at home."
Huang smiled lovingly and said, "Grandma, your father and mother are at home, don't worry."
Su and Guyu checked the things again, and felt relieved only after they were sure that nothing was forgotten.
Su said to Sun Shan, "Shanzi, you must behave well in school and study hard. Also, don't leave the school. It's dangerous outside. There are kidnappers. You are still young, be careful not to be deceived. Do you hear me? Don't go out and wander around."
Su was really afraid that Sun Shan would get bored in the school and go out to the street without permission. There were many bad guys outside, and she was afraid that Sun Shan would be caught, which would really cost him his life.
Sun Shan patted his chest to assure her: "Mother, don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. I'll just stay in the school."
During the Grain Rain, Beginning of Summer, Grain Full, and Cold Dew, Sun Shan was also carefully instructed to make his younger brother obedient and study hard.
Sun Bomin watched the woman at home talking to Sun Shan nonstop, saying that they wanted to leave early but actually trying to stop them from leaving. He couldn't help but say, "Stop talking. It's too late. Shanzi, hurry up and get in the car. Let's go."
Huang saw that it was really late, and said anxiously, "Go quickly, and be careful on the road."
Su put Sun Shan on the ox cart and said to Sun Bomin, "Master, you must take good care of Shanzi and drive carefully."
Sun Bomin waved his hand impatiently: "Don't worry, I will take good care of Shanzi."
After seeing that Sun Shan was sitting steadily, he led the ox cart out of the old house.
Su, Huang and the four golden flowers accompanied Sun Shan to the village entrance and did not turn back until they could no longer see Sun Bomin and Sun Shan.
Su said sadly: "Mother, Shanzi has to go to school alone at such a young age. Oh, my son, how pitiful."
Huang also thought so, but she couldn't say it like that: "Shanzi is a good boy who likes to study and has traveled thousands of miles to study. Don't say anything about your concern for him in front of him, lest he be distracted and worried about his family."
Su thought about it and felt that her mother-in-law was right. Shanzi was the most sensible boy, and if she kept saying that she was worried all day, he would definitely blame himself.
She nodded and said, "Mother, I understand. I won't say it again."
Huang and Su hurried back, paused, and as if thinking of something, said to Huang: "Guyu's dowry should also be prepared, and not prepared at the last minute. Our Sun family is the first to marry a daughter, and the wedding must be beautiful to set an example for her younger brothers and sisters. Guyu's marriage is a good one, and it has set a good start. We must take it seriously."
Huang was always worried that her daughter would look like her mother. She was also concerned that others would see that Su had given birth to four daughters in a row and that it would be difficult for her granddaughter to get married.
God will not let down those who work hard. In the end, he still favors the Sun family and their ancestors bless them.
Letting Guyu marry into the Xia family in the city, marrying from the village to the county, was considered a high-class marriage, which made the people in Sunjia Village envious and reduced the gossip a lot.
Guyu's marriage to a wealthy family proves that the daughter of the Sun family is not a bad person.
Huang thought that if Guyu married into the Xia family, it would be perfect if she gave birth to a big fat boy the following year, and he would serve as a role model for her younger sisters.
Huang thought that she must burn incense to her ancestors frequently and pray for their blessings.
Su smiled and said, "Mother, don't worry. I will prepare Guyu's dowry and make it beautiful so that people outside will have nothing to say."
Looking at Lixia who was walking in front of him, he whispered, "Mother, it's time for Lixia to look for a date, but there's no one chosen yet."
There was someone who asked Su to propose marriage, but after much searching, she couldn't find anyone she liked. All of them were worse than the Xia family, so it was really hard to make the right choice.
I was wondering if Aunt Sun had a boyfriend. If she did, I would arrange for Lixia to go and see him. Even if they didn't match, there would still be a chance she could meet one along the way.
It would be best to replicate Guyu’s experience. If you can’t marry in the provincial capital, marrying in the county town is fine.
As for the village, neither Su nor Sun Boming thinks highly of him. Of course, if the family conditions are like Zheng Tongsheng's, they can still consider him.
Huang was also worried about Lixia's marriage. The girl was not young anymore, so it was time to get her married.
He said to Su: "We ask someone to pay attention, don't be anxious, take your time."
Here, Huang and Su were preparing a dowry for Guyu while worrying about Lixia's marriage.
Over there, Sun Shan and Sun Boming finally arrived at the gate of the county town after a whole morning.
Sun Bomin hurriedly sent Sun Shan back to his dormitory, helped him pack his things, and said to him earnestly, "Shanzi, you must stay in the school and don't go out. Do you understand?"
Sun Bomin and Su were both worried that Sun Shan couldn't stand the loneliness and would secretly run out to play.
The county town is a mixed crowd, not as simple as the villages. If you get kidnapped, you'll be gone forever.
Sun Boming was really worried that his only child would be lost.
Sun Shan said very seriously: "Dad, don't worry, I won't go out. I'm very busy with my studies and there's not enough time in the day. I don't have time to go out and play."
He pointed to the door of the dormitory and said, "Uncle Hong is guarding the door every day, so it's difficult to get out."
Sun Bomin was relieved: "Yeah, well, just be obedient. I'll come out and take you home at the end of next month."
The two talked for a while.
Sun Bomin saw Uncle Hong and ran over and shouted, "Brother Hong."
Uncle Hong was also very polite when he saw Sun Bomin: "Brother Sun, send Shanzi back to the school."
Looking closely at Sun Boming, I couldn't figure out what charm he had that made Hong Xiucai chat with him for so long.
Each chat lasts no less than 3 hours. I wonder what they talk about?
Sun Bomin was not aware of Uncle Hong's scrutiny and said with a simple smile, "Brother Hong, I brought some bamboo shoots."
Pointed to the three sacks on the wall of the concierge's office.
She continued, "One sack for you, one sack for the teacher, and one sack for the kitchen. These bamboo shoots are freshly picked, very tender and delicious, and are best eaten now."
Sun Shan looked at the three sacks under the eaves, each of which weighed at least 40-50 kilograms.
Uncle Hong's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Oh, Brother Sun, how can this be? I'll take the one for the Master, and you can take the other two bags back."
Sun Bomin waved his hand and said, "There are a lot of them in the back hills of our Sunjia Village. They are easy to pick. They are not worth much. Take them and don't refuse."
The two men declined for a while, but Uncle Hong finally accepted it.
As a spectator, and a young one at that, Sun Shan had no choice but to stand aside in silence and wait for them to finish the show.
When Sun Bomin saw that Uncle Hong accepted the cow, he immediately took the cow and hurriedly said goodbye to Uncle Hong and Sun Shan.
Uncle Hong waved his hand, patted his chest, and assured: "Brother Sun, don't worry, I will help you keep an eye on Shanzi and not let him leave the school."
Sun Bomin said gratefully: "Then I'll leave it to you, Brother Hong."
After Sun Bomin left, Sun Shan looked at Uncle Hong expressionlessly.
Uncle Hong said awkwardly, "Shanzi, your father is worried about you, so he told me to do this. You must obey him and not sneak out."
Sun Shan cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Hong, don't worry, I won't leave."
I just didn't expect that Sun Boming would try to win people's hearts and ask Uncle Hong to help keep an eye on him.
Well, honest people are honest, but they are not stupid, they are very smart.
