Chapter 200: No Grandma, Brother, Sisters Are All Good
When he got home, it was already dark. Su and Huang saw Sun Shan and hurried over to ask about his well-being.
Huang touched Sun Shan's clothes and said with concern, "You are wearing too little. The weather is still a bit cold now. You must be careful not to catch a cold."
Su also thought so. She rolled her eyes at Sun Bomin and scolded him, "Boss, Shanzi is wearing so little, why don't you give him a piece of clothing?"
After saying that, he immediately went back to the bedroom and hurriedly brought back a coat. Sun Shan had no choice but to obey Su and Huang's request and put on his clothes.
She smiled and said, "Grandma, mother, I'm not cold. Feel my hands and they're not cold."
Huang and Su touched Sun Shan's little hand and breathed a sigh of relief after making sure it was not cold.
Sun Bomin blamed himself and said, "Oh, I forgot to ask Shanzi to put on his clothes. I thought that if I wasn't cold, Shanzi wouldn't be cold either."
He turned to Sun Shan and said, "Shanzi, next time you feel cold, you must speak up and wear clothes. If you feel cold, you will have to go to the doctor again."
Sun Shan looked at Sun Bomin in silence, but said very gently, "Father, I understand. I will put on more clothes when I am cold, so don't worry."
After spending more than ten years with Sun Bomin, the Su family, and the Huang family, Sun Shan gradually understood how to get along with them.
You have to listen to them and agree to them on small matters, but you have to do whatever you want to do behind their backs.
If you disagree with a major issue, you must oppose it. You cannot oppose it lightly, you must oppose it seriously, otherwise they will not listen.
Anyway, obey those who can obey, and don't force those who can't obey.
At the beginning of summer, Xiaoman brought food from the kitchen and placed it on the dining table. Hanlu lit another oil lamp, making the main room brighter.
Lixia smiled and said, "Dad, Shanzi, you guys should eat quickly. You must be hungry. You have been traveling for the whole afternoon."
Sun Shan and Sun Bomin were indeed hungry. Sun Bomin wolfed down his rice, while Sun Shan continued to eat slowly.
When Xiaoman saw this, she chuckled, "Dad, my brother is so elegant when he eats, just like a scholar. He looks so good, even better than us girls when we eat."
The people Xiaoman comes into contact with are all from rural areas. Not to mention the rural men, even the rural women rarely eat slowly.
Especially when eating at a banquet, if you eat slowly, the food will be gone by the second time you turn your head.
When Xiaoman saw his younger brother eating, he felt that his younger brother was different from the country people and would definitely have a bright future.
Sun Shan said as a matter of course: "Third sister, I am a scholar, and I always eat in a very elegant manner."
Every time he said this, the whole room burst into laughter.
After Sun Bomin and Sun Shan finished their meal, everyone sat in the main room and chatted.
Every month, they only get together for a short four days, and Sun Shan will stay by his grandmother Huang's side and talk to her about family matters.
Huang said to Sun Bomin and Su, "The wedding date for Lixia has been set. You should see what else needs to be prepared and do it quickly. Arrange it according to Guyu's wedding."
Lixia's wedding date is set for next month, and the dowry has been almost prepared by then, so it's just a matter of seeing what's missing.
Fortunately, having had experience in arranging Guyu’s wedding, the Sun family was able to arrange it on their own this time.
Huang specifically asked Sun Boming and Su to make the arrangements in accordance with Guyu's dowry in front of Lixia. She wanted to tell Lixia that the family would treat everyone equally and would not give her less or more just because she was the second daughter. They would treat her equally.
When Lixia heard what Huang said, her face and ears turned red. She lowered her head and didn't dare to speak.
Xiaoman and Hanlu covered their mouths and laughed.
After listening to her mother-in-law's words, Su was unwilling to go ahead with Guyu's marriage.
Guyu is the eldest daughter, the first child, and the most obedient and filial one, so the wedding should be held in a grand manner.
What about Lixia? Because she knows how to take care of potted plants and has Shanzi's support, she often disobeys.
Not only was he disobedient, he also talked back.
Su was so angry that he slapped his chest and really wanted to slap him.
If the mother-in-law hadn't said that her daughter had grown up and needed to find a husband, and that as a mother she must behave virtuously, gentle and kind, then many people would have wanted to marry her.
A mother should not scold her children. If someone from a wealthy family finds out about this, he will definitely not propose to her.
My mother-in-law also said that girls in the family should try to marry well so that they can help their younger brothers in the future.
Su thought about it again and again and felt that her mother-in-law was right.
When others choose a wife, they not only look at the daughter, but also the daughter's mother.
In order to help Shanzi, Su endured it.
In public, he acted like he loved his daughter. Not only did he let his daughter take the betrothal gifts back home, he also added a lot of dowry in private.
Well, the rumor spread that the Sun family was marrying off their daughter, not selling her, and many people came to inquire about the girl from the Sun family.
Look, Zheng Tongsheng even went to marry Lixia personally to be his grandson's wife.
Su felt that the reason why Zheng Tongsheng's family wanted to marry into her family was entirely because she was generous and decent and could give her daughter a good dowry.
Su looked at Sun Shan deeply, but endured it for the sake of her daughter being able to help her brother in the future.
She smiled and said, "Mother, don't worry. The head of the household and I will arrange the second girl's marriage. We will arrange the marriage for both Guyu and Lixia. I am a very fair person and I will not be partial."
No one believed Su's words except Su. But it doesn't matter, as long as we can handle it well.
Huang said with satisfaction: "I am confident that you can do the job. But I will ask a few aunts from the clan to help. I am most afraid that you two will make mistakes in your haste, and it will be bad if the Zheng family sees it. Zheng Tongsheng is Shanzi's teacher, so he must do it properly and there must be no mistakes."
Sun Bomin nodded and said, "Mother, I understand. After we send Shanzi back to school in a few days, Eryatou will go out of the county with my husband and me to pick up the dowry boxes. Guyu's will be picked by herself, and Eryatou's will be picked by herself as well."
Sun Bomin agreed very much with Huang's words.
Speaking of closeness, Sun Boming is closer to Zheng Tongsheng than to the Xia family.
Sun Bomin believed that Zheng Tongsheng was a scholar and a good person. He not only taught Shanzi carefully, but also did good for Shanzi wholeheartedly.
Such a good person, the grandson in the family must be good too. Lixia will definitely be good if she marries into the Zheng family.
When Lixia heard that Sun Boming arranged for her to pick the dowry box, her face and ears turned even redder. She lowered her head and did not dare to speak.
I thought to myself, thanks to grandma at home, the four sisters are much better off than the girls in the village.
Grandma told Dad and Mom in person to arrange the marriage according to the eldest sister's wishes. This was to gain benefits for herself and asked Dad and Mom not to be partial and not to save money.
Lixia lowered her head, her eyes red.
People should learn to be content. Although A Niang Su beat and scolded her sisters, compared with the villagers, Lixia instantly stopped feeling resentful.
I feel that it is very good to be born in the Sun family. I have a sensible grandma, a sensible brother, and several sisters who support each other.
As for my father and mother, they are good too, just not as good as my grandmother, brother and sisters.
