Chapter 187 Guyu is about to get married
Mr. Hong not only talked to Class C about the exam fees, but also talked to Class B and Class A.
Of course, some people in Class A have participated in county and prefectural examinations, so they can better understand the expenses that Mr. Hong mentioned.
Sun Shan shook his head and stopped worrying about it. The only thing he had to do now was to study, study very hard.
At the end of October, Sun Boming came out to take Sun Shan home.
I have more important things to do this time when I get home.
Sun Shan’s eldest sister Guyu is getting married, and the date is set for the day after tomorrow, which also happens to be Sun Shan’s day off, so there is no need to ask for leave from Hong Xiucai.
Sun Shan sat on the ox cart and walked on the mountain road back to Sunjia Village.
He asked Sun Bomin, who was leading the cow in front, "Dad, is my eldest sister's dowry ready?"
Sun Bomin nodded and said, "I've already prepared it. But my family is so busy right now. We haven't had a wedding in a long time. I don't know what to do."
Sun Shan thought about it and realized that it had been almost 10 years since the Sun family held their wedding, Sun Shan’s full moon banquet.
The Sun family has lived a peaceful life over the years, attending other people's weddings and having no major happy events of their own.
Sun Shan smiled and said, "Dad, don't be nervous. If you don't understand, ask the villagers for help."
Sun Bomin looked back at Sun Shan and said cheerfully, "Yes, Shanzi, you are smart and know how to invite people over. Your grandma invited several aunts from the clan to come and look after it. After we finish Guyu's wedding, we will do the next one. When you grow up and get married, your father and mother will be even better at it."
Sun Shan looked at the back of Sun Boming's head speechlessly, not knowing whether it was because his eldest sister was about to get married.
Every time they chat, the topic always ends up being about Sun Shan.
Sun Bomin, Su and Huang wished that Sun Shan would grow up ten years older, get married and have a son.
Sun Shan looked at his small body and felt that getting married was still a long way off.
The two returned to Sunjia Village in the evening.
When we walked into the Sun family’s old house, it was just as messy as Sun Boming had said. Things were placed everywhere and the whole yard looked very messy.
When Su saw Sun Shan, she called out to him and then went into Guyu's bedroom.
Sun Shan was stunned. This was not like the usual Su.
Every time I came back from vacation, Su would definitely ask about my well-being, but this time he just glanced at me and left?
I'm not used to it.
Sun Shan put the things he brought back from school in his bedroom-cum-study room, and then went to Guyu's boudoir.
Because she was getting married soon, Sun Boming specially prepared a room as her boudoir.
When I walked into my eldest sister’s boudoir, it was filled with aunts and maids from the clan.
Upon seeing this, Sun Shan quickly bowed and greeted him.
The village head's wife smiled and said, "Shanzi is back. How is your study in the county town?"
Others also looked at Sun Shan curiously.
Sun Shan, who was a bit socially anxious, kept a professional smile and said, "Okay, everything is fine."
Then he called out "Big Sister".
Guyu saw his brother coming back and asked with concern: "Shanzi, you are back. You must be hungry. There is food in the kitchen. Fill your stomach first."
Only then did Su think of this problem and quickly said, "Shanzi, go eat first, my mother is busy."
The aunt and the old woman in the house also called Sun Shan to eat, saying that children are especially prone to hunger at home and he must eat.
Seeing that there were many people in the house, Sun Shan said goodbye in a hurry.
It doesn’t matter whether you eat or not, but you have to stay away from gossipy people.
The aunts and maids in the clan should help to organize the dowry and teach the bride-to-be some rules.
Seeing the elder sister’s red face and her head down listening to the lecture, Sun Shan felt inexplicably sad.
The eldest sister Guyu is 18 years old this year, which is considered late for her to get married. If she delays any longer, she will become an old maid.
Even if you are engaged and have a partner, if you don't get married, rumors will definitely spread.
No matter how reluctant Sun Shan was, he had to part with his elder sister.
I walked into the kitchen in a depressed mood and saw that Lixia, Xiaoman and Hanlu were also there.
Lixia pulled Sun Shan in and asked with concern: "Are you hungry? We have fried noodles here. They are fried with pork and are delicious. Come and try them."
Sun Shan asked, "Second sister, third sister, fourth sister, have you eaten?"
The three of them shook their heads, and Han Lu said in a muffled voice: "I'm in a bad mood and don't want to eat."
Xiaoman echoed, "My eldest sister is going to the Xia family the day after tomorrow. I really don't want to let her go."
Lixia put some fried noodles in a bowl and specially picked some lean meat and put it in the bowl. My brother likes to eat lean food and doesn’t like fatty food.
He handed it to Sun Shan and said, "Eat it quickly."
Sun Shan took the fried noodles and saw that Lixia was also dejected.
He said comfortingly: "Eldest sister married to the Xia family not far away, we can see her when we go to the county town."
Lixia lowered her head and said solemnly, "It's not that easy to see her. Once you're married, you belong to someone else's family. We can only see each other during festivals."
Sun Shan knew that what Lixia said was true.
It’s not that your husband’s family doesn’t want you to see him, but if you do, it will cause gossip.
No one wants to hear gossip, and for the sake of elder sister, we can only meet with her less often.
Unless there is a special reason, outsiders will spread rumors.
Xiaoman put a piece of firewood on the stove and said gloomily, "Now that my eldest sister is married, there's one less person in our family. I'm not used to it."
Sun Shan was not used to it either, but he had no choice but to get married.
After taking a bite of the fried noodles, not only my throat felt dry, but my heart felt dry too.
Thinking about the fact that after I come back from vacation, there will no longer be my elder sister to care about me, my eyes can't help but become red.
Hanlu pouted and said, "My mother said that after my eldest sister gets married, she will immediately find a marriage for my second sister. In two years, my second sister will also get married."
When Lixia heard this, her face immediately turned red. She slapped Hanlu's shoulder fiercely and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? I won't marry you."
It is impossible not to get married, but I am confused about the future and afraid of the unknown.
Guyu was getting married, and not only was she uneasy, but her three sisters were also equally uneasy.
After Sun Shan finished eating the fried noodles, he returned to the courtyard and looked at Guyu's boudoir. The gossipy women from the clan were still there, and Su and Huang were also there.
As for Sun Boming, he took his second uncle and third uncle to prepare the things for the banquet.
Second Aunt Sun and Third Aunt Sun went to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables.
The day after tomorrow is the wedding date, and I will also invite my closest relatives to dinner tomorrow.
Sun Shan felt a little uneasy, so he went into the study to read.
At this moment, only by reading can I forget all the happiness and sorrow.
As night fell, the aunts and servants in Guyu's boudoir went back one after another.
Huang ordered: "Come over early tomorrow morning and have dinner here."
Su also said: "Aunt, please come earlier. Thank you for your help."
After the villagers left, Uncle Sun's family and Uncle Sun's family came to help and also ate here.
De Ge'er went to play with Sun Shan, but Sun Shan was not in the mood and ignored him.
De Ge'er left angrily and went to play chicken and dog fighting with his childhood friend Big Head Dog.
Sun Shan looked at the three Sun Bomin brothers busying around, and his heart suddenly calmed down.
People come and go, and everyone has their own life. As a participant or passerby, you can only accept and be calm.
Sun Shan smiled and joined in the busy work.
