Chapter 298: Boy and Girl
When the He family heard that Sun Shan was not studying in Guangzhou but returning to Zhangzhou to study, they immediately objected.
Aunt Sun said anxiously, "Shanzi, I understand that you think Yuehua Academy is too expensive and don't want to study there. But Sanyi Academy is obviously affordable, so why don't you study there? Although Sanyi Academy is not as good as the four major academies, it is also famous in Guangzhou Prefecture. Studying there will be of great help to your studies."
The tuition is indeed a bit expensive for our Sun family, but we can still squeeze it out with the help of our aunt, uncle, and your father and mother.
And after we squeeze out, our life won't be hard, we won't have to eat coarse food. Shanzi, listen to your aunt and study at Sanyi Academy.
Many scholars tried their best to pass the exam but failed. Since you have passed, go and study."
Uncle He also echoed, "Shanzi, your aunt is right. We can squeeze in the tuition fees. You don't need to worry. Studying in Guangzhou is better than studying in Zhangzhou.
This is the provincial capital, and the master's knowledge is better than that of Zhangzhou Prefecture.
Shanzi, I'm telling you the truth.
Your eldest cousin's academy is good, but he failed to pass the exam twice. He failed to pass such a good academy. Think about it, if you study in Zhangzhou Prefecture, do you have the confidence to pass? Zhangzhou Prefecture's official school is much worse than Guangya Academy. "
He Shuyu also persuaded him: "Shanzi, you should study in Guangzhou Prefecture. To be honest, it is more convenient to go back to Sunjia Village from Guangzhou Prefecture than from Zhangzhou.
The academy is on holiday at the end of the year, and there are many escort teams returning home from Guangzhou Prefecture. It is inconvenient to go anywhere in Zhangzhou Prefecture, let alone study. Shanzi, you should believe your second cousin and stay in Guangzhou Prefecture to study. "
The third and fourth cousins also tried to persuade him, saying that Zhangzhou Prefecture was worthless and praising Guangzhou Prefecture as if it was out of this world.
If outsiders didn't know the situation, it would seem that Zhangzhou Prefecture had a grudge against them.
Sun Shan listened, but once he made up his mind, he would not waver.
Shaking his head, he said patiently, "Aunt, uncle, cousin, I understand your kindness. But I have decided to go back to Zhangzhou Prefecture to study. I am still young and far away from the provincial examination. I don't need to study in Guangzhou Prefecture so early. After I study in Zhangzhou Prefecture for a while and learn everything I need to learn, I will come to Guangzhou Prefecture to study if I have the opportunity."
Aunt Sun disagreed and said, "Shanzi, you have passed the examination at such a young age, which shows that you have a bright future. You should find a good academy to continue your studies, instead of going to some academy with poor conditions. You should listen to Aunt Sun and go to Sanyi Academy instead of returning to Zhangzhou Prefecture.
You don't have to worry about the expenses. Although the money is a little more, my aunt and uncle can still support you."
Aunt Sun patted Sun Shan's little hand and said, "Shanzi, don't feel burdened by your uncle and aunt giving you money to study. They are happy to do so. You are a good seedling, so you should find a good place to grow well. Shanzi, do you understand?"
Sun Shan certainly understood this, but he still didn't want the Sun family's quality of life to decline.
Sun Boming and Su have worked hard enough, and I don’t want them to work any more.
The money of Aunt Sun and Uncle He was also accumulated from a bowl of sugar water worth a few cents, and their money was also hard-earned.
Sun Shan couldn't study as if nothing had happened.
Sun Shan shook his head and said, "Aunt, I have decided to go back to Zhangzhou Prefecture to study. Don't try to persuade me. I think Zhangzhou Prefecture is more suitable for me. I was able to pass the examination to become a scholar in Huangyang County with such poor conditions, and I can also pass the examination to become a juren in Zhangzhou Prefecture. Aunt, uncle, you have to believe me."
Aunt Sun, Uncle He, and several cousins persuaded him, and later the old lady of the He family also persuaded him and said that they would sponsor Sun Shan's studies.
But all this could not resist Sun Shan's firm determination.
The He family has given enough help to the Sun family. If they continue to help, they will truly become vampires.
The He family helped with sales of the Sun family's tangerines, helped with connections for the Sun family's mountain products, and even the He family acted as a go-between for the Sun family's New Year flowers.
Not to mention that every time Aunt Sun came back to Sunjia Village to visit her relatives, she brought a lot of big and small bags, as well as the money given every year.
The He family introduced a job to the boy from the Sun family, and Aunt Sun also helped pay the boy's tuition, which was already enough.
If the He family had to pay for Sun Shan's high tuition this time, they would be really ashamed.
Seeing how determined Sun Shan was, Aunt Sun and Uncle He were so angry that they were speechless.
I thought about writing a letter to Sun Boming and asking him to come down and make the decision.
But Sun Shan said that he had chosen the day deliberately for his decision not to study. Tomorrow is the registration deadline, and it is too late to write to Sun Boming and ask him to come down.
Aunt Sun wanted to register Sun Shan secretly again, but she couldn't find the admission letter no matter how hard she looked. She was so angry that she was speechless.
Sun Shan decided not to continue his studies in Guangzhou and was not bothered by the high tuition fees. He relaxed all of a sudden and was elevated to a higher level. The decadence of failure was swept away and his eyes regained their pure clarity.
Even the little boy said to him when he saw him: "Uncle, you look so happy. Did you eat some candy?"
Xiaozai's figure is a little less fat than Xiaoguangzi's. Both children like to eat candy.
Xiaozai thought Sun Shan was happy because he had eaten candy.
Sun Shan nodded as he wished and said, "Yes, my uncle just ate some candy. Do you want some?"
Xiaozi ran over hurriedly, hugged Sun Shan and said, "Eat! I want to eat too."
Sun Shan asked again: "Young man, what kind of candy do you like to eat? Your uncle has a lot of candy."
When Xiaozai heard there were so many candies, his eyes lit up and he shouted, "Eat, I want to eat all the candies, uncle, I want to eat candies."
This boy is really impatient. If you don't give him candy, he will probably make a big fuss.
Sun Shan quickly took out a candy from his pocket, handed it to him, and said with a smile: "Young man, do you want some candy?"
The boy's eyes lit up and he shouted, "Yes, I want it. I like milk candy the most."
He hurriedly stuffed the candy into his mouth, smiling happily.
At this time, a cute little girl in pink and white flew in from outside. She was my cousin He Shujin's eldest daughter Jiao'er.
Sun Shan had never seen such a lovely, lively and clever little girl.
As expected of my cousin’s daughter, she is as pretty as my cousin.
Jiao'er ran to Sun Shan, braked in time, glanced at the boy who was eating candy, and then stared at Sun Shan with wet eyes.
Sun Shan's fatherly heart melted. He picked up Jiao'er and asked gently, "Jiao'er, do you want some candy?"
Jiao'er nodded quickly: "Eat, uncle, I want to eat candy too."
Sun Shan immediately gave Jiao'er some candy and watched her eat it with her little mouth. He then looked at the boy who was also chomping at the candy. He had not felt such peace for a long time.
It seems that children are the most healing in this world.
Looking at them, Sun Shan swept all his troubles into the trash can.
His life has just begun, and he is still a young man with a promising future.
