Chapter 233 When I grow up, I will take my grandma to Zhangzhou Prefecture

When Sun Shan woke up the next day, he felt sore in his back and waist. After two consecutive days of riding in the car and climbing hills, his whole body felt weak and exhausted.

Standing in the yard in a daze, Lixia saw Sun Shan wake up and said with a smile: "Ashan, get up and have breakfast."

Sun Bomin got up early in the morning and was packing his things, preparing to return to Sunjia Village after his son woke up.

I've been away from home for many days and I miss it so much.

Sun Shan quickly finished his breakfast and followed Sun Boming back to the village today to rest for two days before returning to school.

Before leaving Zhangzhou Prefecture, I had already asked for leave from Mr. Hong.

Sun Boming packed up his things and put them on the ox cart. Zheng Hongyuan and Zheng Hongwen also returned to Zhengjia Village. After all, Zheng Tongsheng was in the village, and Zheng Hongwen had to tell Zheng Tongsheng about the exam situation.

As for Lixia, she wanted to go back to the village with him, but her belly was so big that no one dared to let her go back.

Walking on the way back to Sunjia Village, everything became familiar.

Although it has only been more than 10 days since I left Huangyang County, a faint sense of homesickness lingered in my mind, which was only slowly dissipating at this moment.

When I returned to the entrance of Sunjia Village, I felt a bit homesick.

Sun Bo carried the sack and Sun Shan followed behind him.

Late in the afternoon, there was no one on the village road, so there was no need to say hello.

We returned to the Sun family's old house, walked into the yard, and shouted, "Grandma, we are back."

At this sound, Huang hurried out of the bedroom, passed by Sun Bomin, and went straight to Sun Shan, shouting in surprise: "Grandma's good grandson is back, back."

He touched Sun Shan carefully and muttered, "You've lost weight, you've lost weight. Are you tired from the journey? Is the exam hard?"

He touched Sun Shan's whole body with his hands, and looked at him lovingly without blinking, afraid that he would disappear in the next second.

Sun Shan held Huang's hand and said happily, "Grandma, I'm not tired. I've learned a lot along the way. I've seen a lot of different beautiful sights and eaten a lot of different delicacies. I also went to the largest temple in Zhangzhou to pay my respects."

Huang saw that her grandson was full of energy and looked like he was not tired or exhausted. She said with relief, "Okay, it's good that you're back. Come and tell grandma what Zhangzhou Prefecture is like."

Sun Shan helped Huang into the house. She was the only one at home.

The two sisters followed Su to the vegetable garden to get vegetables.

After putting down his luggage, Sun Boming said a few words to Huang, then carried the bucket of water to the vegetable garden.

Firstly, I want to see how the crops in the field are growing, and secondly, I want to water the vegetables together with Su, which will be faster.

Sun Shan happily shared the beautiful scenery and delicious food of Zhangzhou Prefecture with Huang, and of course focused on describing Zhangzhou Temple, because the old lady Huang loved to visit temples the most.

Sun Shan said firmly: "Grandma, when I grow up, I will take you to the Zhangzhou Temple in Zhangzhou Prefecture to worship. It is the largest temple in our Zhangzhou Prefecture and many people go there to worship. I heard that it is very effective and whatever you pray for will come true. Even people from Guangzhou Prefecture go there to worship."

When Huang heard that Sun Shan was going to take her to Zhangzhou Prefecture, she covered her mouth, laughed, and said cheerfully, "Grandma is old and can't go. You can go in her place."

She kindly brushed the hair off Sun Shan's forehead and said with a smile, "Next time you go to Zhangzhou, go and pray for grandma."

Sun Shan quickly shook his head and said, "Grandma, wait a minute. When I grow up, I will take you there. Zhangzhou Prefecture is not far away and it is easy to get there. Zhangzhou Prefecture is much larger than Huangyang County. I will take you there for a walk."

After hearing this, Huang smiled even more brightly, her face became radiant, and she looked full of energy.

Even if Sun Shan was just talking, the old lady was very happy. Who wouldn't be happy to have a filial grandson?

In the afternoon, Su, Xiaoman and Hanlu returned and asked Sun Shan about his well-being.

Su hugged Sun Shan and kept saying, "You've lost weight! You've lost weight! It's not easy to go to the capital city. I finally gained weight and now I'm losing weight again."

Huang thought so too, and said to Su: "Shanzi's mother, go and butcher a chicken and make some soup to nourish her. Bomin and Shanzi have been gone for so long, it must not have been easy."

Without saying a word, Su asked Hanlu and Xiaoman to boil water and butcher the chicken. She was thinking of adding some red dates and wolfberries to stew the chicken so that Shanzi and the head of the family could have a good meal.

It's hard to sleep in the open air.

Sun Shan took out some small items he bought from Zhangzhou Prefecture. They were not valuable, but they were exquisite and of special style.

After Xiaoman and Hanlu received it, their eyes lit up. They loved it so much, it was so unique.

Silk flowers made of silk are fresh and elegant, and you will love them no matter how you look at them.

Huang and Su received wooden combs from Sun Shan. They were exactly the same, so there was no need to say who was favored over whom.

Su and Huang took the gifts with a smile and combed their hair with joy. They felt that their son/grandson was very filial and never forgot to bring souvenirs to their family wherever they went.

After dinner, De Ge'er came over to play with Sun Shan.

De Geer said happily: "Shanzi, you are back. Is it fun to go to Zhangzhou Prefecture? Are there a lot of delicious food? Oh, I want to go too."

Sun Shan looked at De Ge'er carefully. He had grown taller and stronger, and was very energetic.

He smiled and said, "It's fun, delicious, Zhangzhou is so big, the streets are so wide, and there are so many people."

De Ge'er's eyes sparkled when he heard this, and he shouted, "Shanzi, let me accompany you to the exam next time, and I'll take care of you. Your uncle is no match for me, and we're both young people, so we'll have a lot to talk about along the way."

Sun Shan shook his head and said, "No, you are too unstable. If I take you to take the exam, I will have to take care of you."

De Ge'er opened his eyes wide, covered his chest, and said sadly: "Shan Zi, how can I be unstable? I am a good boy in the whole area, the most stable one."

Sun Shan ignored De Ge'er's pretense and shook his head, saying, "You have to study hard and pass my assessment before I take you."

When I came back this time, I heard Hanlu say that De Ge'er had changed and knew how to study hard. Zheng Tongsheng complained less and was beaten less often.

Sun Shan was very pleased, but this was not enough. He had to paint a big picture to keep De Ge'er moving forward.

Sun Shan and De Ge'er grew up together, and they eagerly hoped that he would be well and have a good future.

De Ge'er kept begging Sun Shan to take him with him, but Sun Shan remained steadfast and insisted that he would only take him if he passed the assessment.

As for what the assessment was about, Sun Shan didn't say, leaving De Ge'er to guess.

Anyway, the standard is set by Sun Shan. If he says it is qualified, it is qualified, and if he says it is unqualified, it is unqualified.

The next day, Sun Shan got up and brought some local specialties from Zhangzhou Prefecture to visit Zheng Tongsheng.

Zheng Tongsheng saw Sun Shan and said to him comfortingly, "You two are still young. Even if you don't do well in the exam this time, you can try again next time. Don't be discouraged. There is still a long way to go."

Sun Shan understood that it must be Zheng Hongwen's "negative energy" that was transmitted to Zheng Tongsheng.

Make him think that Sun Shan didn't do well in the exam either.

Sun Shan did not explain, but nodded and said, "Master, I understand. I am young, so it is normal for me to not do well in the exam. I will not be discouraged, and I will continue to work hard."

Zheng Tongsheng was very happy to see Sun Shan speaking seriously. He smiled and said, "I am very pleased that you think this way."

Then he said to his grandson Zheng Hongwen: "Hongwen, you are older than Ashan, so you should be a role model. Don't say discouraging words. Do you understand?"

Zheng Hongwen hummed, nodded and said, "Grandpa, I understand. I won't do it again in the future."

Afterwards, the three of them discussed this provincial examination and concluded that it all depended on the examiner, the prefect, and they could leave it to fate!
