Chapter 238: Yong Ge'er Planting Flowers
Mr. Hong swallowed his anger. Sun Shan looked like he deserved a beating. He really wanted to hit him. What should he do?
He took a deep breath, exhaled deeply and said, "Okay, since you said it's easy to get, I won't be polite."
Sun Shan chuckled, scratched his head and said, "Master, I'll leave everything to you from now on. When we finish the test papers, you can help correct them. You'll be very busy."
Hong Xiucai didn't mind seeing Sun Shan, so he waved his hand and let him leave.
Sun Shan bowed, paced back quickly, turned around and walked out of the study.
The test questions are definitely not easy to obtain, but how else can we say this?
Do a favor without expecting anything in return!
The reason why I took out the test questions.
First of all, we were in the same school, and even though we had some quarrels with classmates on the way, they were just quarrels and disappeared with the wind.
Perhaps it was because there were few people, perhaps it was because studying was extremely rare, or perhaps Hong Xiucai had a good teaching style and ethics.
There was no bullying in Hong's School, nor did the rich kids look down on the country people. The students got along well with each other.
Secondly, Sun Shan thought that it was not enough to work hard on his own, and only by learning and colliding with each other could one make progress.
Everyone does the test together and papers together, which can better maintain the learning atmosphere and lead to better progress.
Birds of a feather flock together. Be around people who love learning to learn better.
I gave the test questions to Mr. Hong, believing that he would be better able to arrange the questions for everyone.
Go back to the classroom and continue reading.
Sun Shan carefully read the excellent essays sent by his eldest cousin, just like reading an excellent composition.
Sun Shan thought about finding some articles that suited his style and studying them carefully, so that he could imitate them first and then innovate.
If all else fails, try a hodgepodge, taking the strong points and overcoming the weak points, extracting the excellent ideas, and then adding your own ideas. This way you will have a good article.
Although the score is not high, it is not low either.
It is better to be safe than sorry. Sun Shan does not intend to adopt an unconventional writing style. After all, his goal is to pass the imperial examination and become a scholar, not to be the first in the examination.
Mr. Hong teaches the enlightenment class in the morning, and goes to Sun Shan and Zheng Hongwen's "College Entrance Examination Sprint Class" in the afternoon.
Sun Shan thought that he should pass the imperial examination and become a scholar while he was still young. If he was asked to work and study at the same time, it would definitely not work.
He is used to doing things wholeheartedly. If he is busy with too many trivial things, he will definitely not be able to study for long.
The next day, Hong Xiucai began to prepare for the college entrance examination.
In fact, he didn't have any plan, he just did the test questions, one set at a time.
After finishing the papers, he would correct them and then hand them out to the candidates for further revisions. This he did day after day, month after month, until they took the exam.
Hong Xiucai said earnestly: "Hongwen, Chuyu, and Ashan got the previous exam questions from the provincial government and the college's exam questions and shared them with you two. You must cherish them, as these exam questions are not easy to come by."
Hong Chuyu, also known as Master Hong, looked at Sun Shan in surprise, his heart beating fast.
Zheng Hongwen also looked at Sun Shan in surprise. These test questions were not easy to get, let alone from the teacher, even from the county school.
Sun Shan not only got it, but also shared it selflessly.
Zheng Hongwen admired this broad-mindedness very much.
Hong Xiucai continued, "You should work hard on the questions and don't tell anyone, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. Thanks to Sun Shan, you have better information this time, so you should work harder."
Hong Xiucai looked at Sun Shan, whose expression was calm, and couldn't help feeling proud.
This student is excellent in other aspects except for his appearance.
Hardworking, serious, frank, and innocent, I never thought he had such a magnanimous demeanor at such a young age.
Mr. Hong would never think that the test questions were as easy as Sun Shan said. Sun Shan said that just to let everyone use it with confidence and he did not expect any return.
Every year he went to the provincial capital to look for information about the college entrance examination, hoping to learn other people's teaching methods.
Nine times out of ten, the result is a rejection.
Hong Xiucai also understood why other people’s resources should be shared.
I am not related to you, but I am considered a good person just by chatting with you and giving you a hint.
Hong Xiucai had never seen anyone as generous as Sun Shan in giving away resources in his lifetime.
Everyone would hide precious things, but Sun Shan did the opposite and was generous.
At first I thought he was ignorant and didn't know the value of things.
But after being with him for so long, I have already figured out his personality, so how could he be ignorant?
Hong Xiucai said to the three people, "In the next few days, I will let you do exercises every day. You should be prepared. Make good use of the information sent by the provincial government and study it carefully."
After that, he handed out the first day's test papers and asked the three people to do them according to the time given for the college exam.
Sun Shan took the test paper solemnly and started to work on it seriously. He was very calm and sincere, and wrote down his answers carefully according to the requirements of the college examination.
When the class was over, Zheng Hongwen and Master Xiao Hong thanked Sun Shan solemnly.
Master Hong was touched and said, "Ashan, thank you. The information from the provincial government is very important to me. Ashan, you are such a kind person."
Zheng Hongwen held Sun Shan's little hand tightly and said excitedly: "Ashan, thank you so much, I don't know what to say."
Sun Shan said nonchalantly: "Stop talking nonsense, let's study hard together, make progress every day, and encourage each other."
So the temporary college entrance examination sprint course of doing, doing, and doing questions began.
Do it, roll it up, and become an invincible young man from small town at solving problems.
Sun Shan studied in full swing, and soon it was the end of May.
You can't just study without resting. People are not robots and cannot work twelve hours a day.
Early in the morning, Sun Bomin came out with a ox cart to pick up Sun Shan and take him home.
Sitting on the ox cart, Sun Bomin told Sun Shan about the trivial matters of Sunjia Village.
Don’t think that middle-aged men don’t gossip. Looking at how eloquently Sun Bomin talks, it proves that he is as gossipy as the gossipy ladies.
When I got home, I saw Dingyong from my third uncle's family working in the flower garden.
After seeing Sun Shan, he greeted him and continued to pull out weeds.
Sun Bomin explained: "Your third sister will get married after the autumn harvest, and your fourth sister is not good at growing flowers, and she is preparing to marry in two years.
What about you? You are a scholar, so how can you have time to plant flowers?
Ming'er and Qing'er from your second uncle's family are both in the capital.
Dad thought about it and decided that it is better to grow flowers with one’s own people. If he invites outsiders, what if they learn the skills and start a new business?
Now only Yong Ge'er is at home. This child is honest and hardworking. Dad arranged for him to come here to learn how to grow flowers. With a skill, he will have food to eat in the future."
Sun Shan completely understood what Sun Bomin was thinking.
When one prospers, all prosper. Even if Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun are not good people, they are still members of the Sun family.
The benefits of a family must be given to family members and must not be given to outsiders.
Sun Bomin thought that Sun Shan was a scholar and would definitely not do farm work in the future.
After searching everywhere, I found that only Yong Ge'er could find it.
In addition, Yong Ge'er is not as unreliable as Uncle Sun Sanshu, so Sun Boming still trusts his own nephews very much.
