Chapter 307 I feel you are not a creature in the pond, the dragon and the rain are within reach
After two days and one night, Sun Shan and his companions finally returned to Huangyang County. It was already the 29th day of the lunar year, and tomorrow was New Year's Eve.
When Zeng Dadong saw his future in-law Sun Bomin, he shouted enthusiastically, "In-law, you are finally back. The day before yesterday, I went to your house to give you a gift, and your mother-in-law asked why you hadn't come back yet."
Before Master Zeng could answer, he saw Sun Shan and immediately called out, "Shanzi, you're back too. Oh, you've been in Guangzhou for a long time."
Sun Shan bowed and said hello: "Uncle, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you all right?"
Zeng Dadong said cheerfully: "Okay, everything is fine."
Then he shouted into the store: "Jiajun, your future father-in-law is back, and your future brother-in-law is back too, don't be busy, come out and greet them."
He then explained that Zeng Jiajun was moving goods in the backyard and couldn't leave for the time being, not that he didn't want to come out.
Seeing the village chief and Uncle Sun, Master Zeng greeted them very warmly and asked someone to pour tea and water.
The familiarity and enthusiasm are completely different from before. It seems that being in-laws is different now.
The salary increased rapidly like a rocket.
Zeng Jiajun ran out in a hurry and greeted the village chief, Sun Boming and Uncle Sun first.
After seeing Sun Shan, he said in surprise: "Ashan, I'm back. I haven't seen you for a long time. Oh, I missed you so much."
After saying this, he put his arm around Sun Shan's shoulders.
Zeng Jiajun is tall and strong, even bigger than De Ge'er.
Where was Sun Shan? He was being carried by Zeng Jiajun like a chicken.
Sun Shan quickly left his arm around his shoulder, straightened his scholarly robes, and said in a hostile tone, "Ah Jun, when are you going to get engaged to my fourth sister?"
Unexpectedly, after not seeing each other for two months, Zeng Jiajun became Sun Shan's fourth brother-in-law. Sun Shan was very uncomfortable.
Zeng Jiajun scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I don't know either. My father and your father made the appointment. Hehe."
After he finished speaking, the burly man's face turned red. It was the first time that Sun Shan saw Zeng Jiajun shy.
Sun Shan warned, "Since you are engaged to my fourth sister, you must treat her well in the future, otherwise..."
Sun Shan pretended to be vicious and tried to scare Zeng Jiajun.
Zeng Jiajun didn't feel Sun Shan's cruelty at all, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will definitely treat my daughter-in-law well."
After he finished speaking, he took Sun Shan aside and asked him all sorts of questions, asking him what he was doing in the provincial government and what fun places there were in the provincial government.
Although he had been to the provincial government, he hadn't been there for many years and didn't know what was new there recently.
Sun Shan told Zeng Jiajun the interesting stories he saw at the Guangdong Customs.
Zeng Jiajun exclaimed repeatedly when he heard this, and wished he could run down to Guangzhou to take a look. He also said that he was tall and mighty and was not afraid of the foreigners.
Sun Shan looked at Zeng Jiajun, who was still acting silly, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
After thinking about it, the fourth sister is not as strong-willed as the third sister Xiaoman, not as independent-minded as the second sister Lixia, and not as gentle as the eldest sister Guyu.
He is lazy and just lives for the day.
Maybe because he is the youngest, or maybe because family conditions are getting better and better, he is not very diligent at work. He will not do anything if he can avoid it, but will do it if he needs to.
Now she is paired with the silly but cheerful Zeng Jiajun. I don’t know whether it is a good match or a bad fate.
But all this has been decided, the engagement has been made, and the marriage will be held next.
Sun Shan respects and blesses.
As it was Chinese New Year, Zeng's Escort Agency was very busy. Mr. Zeng, Zeng Jiajun, Sun Shan and others chatted for a while and then went on with their work.
Mr. Zeng said we could have dinner at his house tonight.
The village chief and Sun Bomin quickly refused. Sun Bomin thought that he had already bought a house in the county and had a place to live, so he didn't want to disturb his future in-laws.
What's more, even if he wanted to eat for free, Sun Boming usually chose to go to Zheng Dalang's house, because the Sun family and the Zheng family were more familiar with each other.
Sun Bomin led everyone back to "Sun's House".
Sun Shan walked into the house. Although he had only stayed there for a few days, he felt particularly at home because he liked this courtyard so much.
The village chief smiled and said, "Bomin, this is a good purchase. It will give us a place to stay when we come back from other places."
Sun Bomin thought so too, nodded and said, "Yes, if we settle down here, we won't have to trouble our in-laws."
The small yard is kept clean and tidy, and you can tell at a glance that someone comes to clean it regularly.
Sun Boming explained that either Lixia or Guyu helped to tidy it up.
When the Sun family was not in the county town, the two daughters would come over from time to time to clean the house.
Su also said that it would be good for her daughter to marry into the county town as it would be convenient for her to do anything.
Sun Shan looked at the sky and it should be around 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
Thinking that he would return to Sunjia Village early tomorrow morning, he sorted out some local specialties and New Year gifts brought back from the city and sent them to Mr. Hong.
Sun Shan felt that he had not seen Mr. Hong for a long time and missed him very much.
When the village chief heard about sending gifts to the teacher, he quickly ordered: "Bomin, pack up and let Shanzi meet Scholar Hong first. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, so it's not a good time to send gifts. Our Shanzi was able to pass the exam and become a scholar, thanks to Scholar Hong's careful teaching."
Without the village chief's instruction, Sun Boming and Uncle Sun were already preparing the New Year gifts.
Sun Bomin nodded and said, "Of course I will. Our Shanzi has become a talented person under the careful guidance of Mr. Hong. I am grateful enough."
Soon Sun Boming packed up a pile of gifts and followed Sun Shan to deliver the New Year gifts to Hong Xiucai.
As for Zheng Tongsheng, I will go back to Sunjia Village tomorrow.
They came back late and sent them off late, Zheng Tongsheng must understand.
When he saw Hong Xiucai again, Sun Shan's eyes were red.
Hong Xiucai frowned and asked tentatively: "Ashan, what's wrong?"
Sun Shan didn't know why, but when he saw Mr. Hong, he felt like crying.
Shaking his head, he said, "Master, I'm fine. I haven't seen you for a long time and I miss you so much."
Hong Xiucai didn't believe it and asked seriously: "Just tell me what's wrong and I'll see if I can help you relieve your worries and boredom."
Sun Shan didn't know where to start or how to narrate the story.
I have been telling myself to let go, to let go, to learn to fail, and to start over.
But I always feel depressed in my heart. Although I have been suppressing it, I always think of it when it is late at night and everyone is asleep.
Sun Shan chattered to Hong Xiucai about everything that had happened in Guangzhou Prefecture in the past two months, including everything big and small, both what should and shouldn't be said.
Qiang Ge'er treated Sun Shan as a trash can and vented all his frustrations.
Sun Shan treated Mr. Hong as a trash can and vented all his uneasiness and resentment.
Sun Shan kept talking and Hong Xiucai kept listening.
As night fell, it was dark outside the window and the candlelight began to light up. Sun Shan suddenly realized that he had been talking for too long.
I said embarrassedly: "Teacher, I am sorry that you have listened to me for so long. I hope you will forgive me for my mistakes."
Hong Xiucai sighed and said comfortingly: "Ashan, if you can't get into the academy, don't be discouraged. You must remember that you are only 13 years old, not 53 years old. You have plenty of time. Don't be afraid. Let's take it slow and everything will be fine."
After a pause, Hong Xiucai said encouragingly: "Ashan, you are the most self-disciplined and persistent scholar I have ever seen. I feel that you are not a fish in a pond, but a dragon and clouds. Ashan, I believe in you."
Sun Shan stared at Hong Xiucai blankly, tears welling up in his eyes, but he finally withdrew them and nodded heavily: "Master, I understand!"
