Chapter 232 Return to Huangyang County
After visiting the bookstore, Sun Shan bought a lot of cost-effective pens, ink, paper and inkstones, thinking that he should buy more while they were cheap since he would need them in the future anyway.
The four people who were traveling with him became servants and followed Sun Shan to carry things.
Liang Can muttered, "Ashan, if we help you with the work, you have to treat us to a meal."
As for eating, that's no problem.
So Sun Shan found a dessert shop and had a bowl of ginger milk for everyone, which made them feel warm.
When they returned to the Hong family courtyard, Sun Bomin and others had already returned. When they saw that Sun Shan had bought a bunch of school supplies, the others were secretly shocked, but Sun Bomin didn't care.
He said cheerfully, "My kid likes to buy pens, inkstones, and paper the most. The ones in the prefecture are cheaper than those in the county, so it's good to buy more. It can save a lot of money."
When the others thought about it, they realized that this was indeed the case, so they gave money to a few students to buy it.
As for Liang Shen, he shook his head and said, "I won't buy it. I'm too lazy to take it."
After being glared at by Liang's father, Liang Can returned to his bedroom in shame.
Liang Shen thought that if he bought it, Liang's father would not give him money, so he would have to spend his own money, which was not worth it.
I plan to go out for food, drinks and fun tomorrow, so I must not be without money.
The next morning, Sun Shan and his friends went shopping and bought some souvenirs to take home.
Sun Boming, Zheng Hongyuan and the fathers of the students from Hongjia Village went to the farm tool shop to buy a hoe if it was cheap.
When farming at home, the most important thing is farm tools.
As for Liang's father, he was not going anywhere. He was tired from running yesterday and could not run anymore.
He was not as strong as the young people, nor as strong as the rural people. He had not done heavy work for many years, so walking for a day was already the limit for him.
Sun Shan and a few others strolled slowly along the small streets and alleys, looking at this and that, their eyes moving everywhere.
They watch the vegetarian meal for free and are very happy.
In the end, Sun Shan bought some small gifts and brought them home to give to the women and children in his family.
Even the cash-strapped unknown candidate from Hongjia Village bought a few hair flowers and hair ties for his brothers and sisters.
As for Liang Shen, he bought a silver hairpin in secret, thinking that no one could see it.
Sun Shan and the other three covered their mouths and laughed. This was a gift for his fiancée.
After a day's stroll, we returned to the small courtyard and said goodbye to Mr. Hong before it got dark. They would return to Huangyang County with the escort team early the next morning, so it would be inappropriate to disturb them because it was too early.
Hong Xiucai said earnestly: "Be careful on the road and pay attention to safety. Study hard when you go back, and don't think you can be lazy when I'm not here. When I come back, I will check your homework. If anyone..."
He didn't say the rest, but everyone knew what he meant, so they quickly obeyed and nodded in agreement.
The road was full of wild flowers when we came, and the road was full of wild flowers when we returned.
In addition to Sun Shan and other five candidates, there were also ten candidates from Huangyang County who went back together.
This time when I returned to the city, I did not see the county's top judge Zhang Yue. It seemed that he wanted to know the results before going back, or he might have stayed in the city to find a famous teacher.
Zheng Hongwen said secretly: "I heard that Zhang Yue, the first place candidate, will stay in the city to study. He is very confident about this provincial examination."
Sun Shan looked at Zheng Hongwen in surprise. How did he get this information? They had been eating, living and traveling together for the past two days, but he had never been seen traveling alone.
The only time Sun Shan was not involved was when they gathered at the escort agency just now. He went to chat with the students of the county school. Could it be that he got the news at that time?
Liang Can also came over and whispered, "Yeah, I heard that too. His family has already paid a high price to hire a famous teacher to teach them in preparation for the college entrance examination."
Sun Shan understood that the county's first chapter was to conduct a cram session and special training before the test so that he could succeed in the college examination and become a scholar.
Sun Shan felt that this method was effective. For students with a good foundation, temporary training would help them better understand how to answer questions.
The first chapter of the county case, Yue Zhen, was so confident that he knew for sure that he could pass the prefectural examination and become a student before the results were released.
Sun Shan fell into deep thought, thinking that if he passed the prefectural examination, he would also learn from the county champion and undergo special training for the "college examination".
How to do special training?
Looking for a famous teacher? No money, no connections.
You can’t find a famous teacher just by having money, it depends on your connections. The teacher is very proud, and money can’t change him.
Sun Shan cannot become a famous teacher.
Then we can only use the tactic of massive human traffic, that is, the tactic of massive question traffic.
Do the questions! Do the questions! Do the questions!
Important things should be said three times.
Do it every day, every month, finish one set after another, and make sure you are fully immersed in the test questions.
All I do is do exercises.
As for solving this problem, Sun Shan has a way to do it.
He has an older cousin, He Shujin, who comes from a farming and scholarly family. If he passes the provincial examination, he will write to his aunt and ask them to help him find questions.
Just like during the college entrance examination, teachers in school will look for questions everywhere.
What are the "Provincial First, Second and Third Models"?
What are "Huafu First Model, Second Model, and Third Model"?
What are the "Guangya Model 1, Model 2, Model 3"?
Anyway, teachers and principals at that time were looking everywhere for mock exam papers from famous schools.
Practice the college entrance examination every month.
In short, it’s just test, test, test!
Sun Shan decided to adopt the college entrance examination model and do a lot of questions. He didn't believe that he couldn't pass the exam after doing hundreds of thousands of college entrance examination questions!
Of course, the prerequisite for all this is to pass the provincial examination. Now we can only wait patiently for the results.
After two days and one night, Sun Shan and his companions returned to Huangyang County just as night fell.
I have only been away from Huangyang County for 10 days, but it feels like I have been away for a long time and I miss my hometown very much.
No wonder Hong Dalang likes local specialties from his hometown so much. He likes the taste of his hometown.
Sun Bomin and Sun Shan followed Zheng Hongyuan and Zheng Hongwen back to the Zheng family.
Everyone else went back to their own homes and looked for their own mothers.
As for the unknown candidate from Hongjia Village who returned to Scholar Hong's home, although they were within the five generations of mourning, they were still from the same village, so it was very normal for him to stay overnight with the villagers.
Lixia was busy running around with her big belly, but was quickly stopped by Zheng Dalang's wife Zhang.
Lixia retreated awkwardly. When she saw her father, brother and husband coming back, she was so anxious that she forgot she was pregnant.
By the time everything was ready, the moon was already above the treetops.
Zheng Dalang said with concern: "My dear relatives, you should go to bed early. We can talk about it tomorrow. You must be exhausted after sitting in the car for so long."
Zheng Dalang originally wanted to ask his eldest son how his younger son did in the exam, but seeing that he looked exhausted, he decided to ask tomorrow.
Anyway, I have been worried for so many days, it doesn’t matter if I worry one more day.
Sun Bomin nodded quickly and said, "In-laws, we are going to rest now. Sorry to bother you."
My in-laws were busy cooking and boiling water, and I felt embarrassed because they were running around.
There is no other way, it is too late, I can only disturb my in-laws.
I don’t know if it’s because Zheng Tongsheng is Master Sun Shan, but Sun Boming feels closer to the Zheng family. If there is anything, he would rather trouble the Zheng family than the Xia family.
Zheng Dalang waved his hand and said, "It's no trouble at all. Go and have a rest. I won't say any more."
He also considerately closed the door for Sun Bo and Sun Shan so that they could rest.
Sun Shan was in a daze and didn't want to say anything. He got on the bed, lay down, and fell asleep in a second.
After seeing this, Sun Boming smiled knowingly. His own Shanzi's sleep quality is excellent and unmatched.
He covered Sun Shan with a quilt and then covered himself with a quilt. Soon, he started snoring.
