Chapter 332 Returning to the School Again
Sun Bomin warned him: "Shanzi, you must stay in the prefecture school and don't wander around. It's dangerous outside and there are a lot of kidnappers. Don't play around and don't trust anyone easily."
At this time, Sun Bomin, Sun Shan, and the servant Sun Dinggui arrived at the door of Zengjia Escort Agency. Today, a convoy team will return to Huangyang County.
Sun Shan's face was full of black lines. He was already 15 years old, which was considered half an adult.
Some of the older boys had already married and had children, but Sun Bomin still treated Sun Shan as a three-year-old child. He kept reminding him and telling him all the things he thought were dangerous, telling him not to take risks.
Sun Shan nodded in understanding: "Dad, don't worry, I won't go out. I'm here to study, not to play."
Sun Bomin was very satisfied to hear Sun Shan agree so readily. He turned around and looked at the newly appointed Gui Ge'er.
He instructed: "Gui'er, you and Shanzi are here to study in the prefecture, you must take good care of him. Do whatever Shanzi tells you to do, don't mess around. If you don't understand, ask Shanzi. You are from the same village and the same clan. When you go out, you must help each other, understand? Only when Shanzi is good, you will be good. If Shanzi is not good, you will not be much better."
Sun Bomin told Sun Dinggui the very ancient truth of life: "When one prospers, all prosper; when one suffers, all suffer."
Sun Dinggui nodded without thinking: "Uncle Min, I understand. If Brother Shan tells me to go east, I will go east. Brother Shan is a scholar, he must be smarter than me. I must do what he tells me to do. I know all this. The village head and the elders of the clan have already told me. I will listen to Brother Shan."
Sun Dinggui turned his head and looked at Sun Shan and said, "Brother Shan, if I have done anything wrong, you need to teach me. I am a bit stupid, so I don't know if I have done something wrong."
Sun Bomin was very satisfied when he saw Gui Ge'er's very good attitude. He smiled and said, "Gui Ge'er, you are right. If Shanzi asks you to do something, you should ask if you don't understand. If you still don't understand after asking, just do it. In Sunjia Village, Shanzi is the smartest. It doesn't matter if you are stupid, just follow the smart people."
After a pause, he continued, "Gui'er, if you follow my Shanzi, I will not treat you unfairly. If you perform well, I will pay you. When you grow up, you will have enough money to marry a wife."
Speaking of marrying a wife, Gui Ge'er's dark face turned red again. He lowered his head and said embarrassedly: "I don't need money, just give me food. I won't marry a wife because I'm still young."
Sun Bomin laughed and patted Gui Ge'er's thin shoulder. He couldn't imagine that such a thin body could have so much strength.
But this is just right, I can be Shanzi's bodyguard and protect Shanzi.
Sun Bomin then said to Sun Shan, "Shanzi, if there is anything wrong with Gui Ge'er, you should point it out and let him correct it. Gui Ge'er is the grandson of your Half-Immortal Grandpa, we should train him well. It was thanks to the guidance of your Half-Immortal Grandpa that you were able to raise him well."
Having said this, Sun Boming looked into the distance with a hint of sadness, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Then he said to Sun Shan, "We have a predestined relationship with Sun Banxian. Now that Gui Ge'er has come to work for our family, we must teach him well and give him a good future. Sun Banxian's spirit in heaven will also bless us."
Speaking of Sun Banxian, the memory of his cradle comes back.
Sun Shan was named by Sun Banxian. After many twists and turns, Sun Banxian's descendants became related to him.
Maybe this is fate!
Sun Shan nodded and said to Sun Bomin, "Dad, don't worry, I will teach Gui Ge'er well."
He said to Sun Dinggui: "Brother Gui, you are not here to enjoy yourself as my bookboy, but to do work. I have already made this clear to you. Since you have accepted it, you must obey my orders in the future, understand?"
Gui Ge'er nodded quickly: "Brother Shan, I understand."
Sun Shan nodded with satisfaction.
Since Gui Geer came to the Sun family, although he is not very smart, he works hard. He works whenever he is asked to and never complains.
Su and Huang asked Guiger to help Sun Shan wash clothes, empty his urine at night, tidy up his clothes, etc.
Gui Ge'er was afraid of making mistakes at first and was clumsy, but he slowly found the rhythm and became more and more smooth with the work, because he was used to doing these chores at home and could do them naturally.
Sun Shan felt very uncomfortable, so he asked Gui Ge'er to be his servant, to fetch water for him, deliver letters, carry messages, or run errands for him.
I never thought of asking Gui Ge'er to wash his underwear and take out his urine at night.
This is too much of an enslavement of others, and Sun Shan's deeply rooted ideas make it difficult to accept.
Who would have known that the first person to object was Gui Ge'er. He said that the village chief had already said these things, and that being a book boy was what one had to do.
He was Sun Shan's servant, so it was natural for him to do these things.
Su and Huang also advised Sun Shan to accept the chores, saying that they were very tedious and if the servant did them, Sun Shan would have more time to study.
If the book boy doesn't do it, then what is the point of having a book boy?
The family hired a book boy so that Sun Shan could have more time to study and not be hindered by trivial matters that would delay his examinations.
Sun had no choice but to accept it, thinking that if he went to the government school, he would do more and Gui Ge'er would do less. He was really not used to outsiders doing such private things.
Who would have thought that the village chief would come to Sun Shan the next day and talk to him a lot.
The key point is that Gui Ge'er is his book boy first, and then his cousin. Let him do what he should do, otherwise he will not learn anything.
He worked for Sun Shan, and the boys in the village were envious of him.
Even though Sun Shan was unlucky and never passed the imperial examination, he was still a scholar that no one dared to bully.
Working for the scholar, others would fight hard but get a chance.
The village chief told Sun Shan to let Gui Ge'er do the work without worry, whether it was light work, heavy work, dirty work or clean work, as long as Gui Ge'er was capable of doing it, let him do it.
The village chief had the same idea as Huang, Su, and Sun Boming. Sun Shan’s main goal was to study hard and pass the imperial examinations.
The village chief desperately hoped that a juren scholar would emerge in the village. If a jinshi scholar emerged, the official would be so excited that smoke would fill the ancestral hall.
As of now, Sun Shan is the only one with the best hope.
The village chief would certainly hope that Sun Shan would study hard and shoulder his responsibility.
Sun Shan had no choice but to do as the village chief and others asked. He turned a blind eye to the trivial matters and let Gui Ge'er do them.
Even when it comes to combing hair, Guiger learns from Su and Huang, and helps Sun Shan with his appearance.
After seeing Sun Boming off, Sun Shan took Gui Ge'er back to the provincial school, and his study career was about to begin again.
Nothing has changed in the provincial school. The people are still the same, the scenery is still the same, except that there is an extra book boy, Sun Dinggui, in Sun Shan's dormitory.
Gui Ge'er followed Sun Xiucai happily. His clothes, shoes, and even his headband were brand new. By following Sun Xiucai, he could eat meat.
He was well fed and warmly clothed, and at this moment, he was extremely happy.
