Chapter 363 Sun Shan's luggage is also packed
Since Sun Shan has decided to study in another province, he will definitely go.
Sun Bomin only knew that Huguang Province was next to Guangnan Province, but he had no idea about the specific situation and was very worried.
So he went to find the most educated Zheng Tongsheng, hoping to learn more about Huguang Province and hoping that Zheng Tongsheng could give him comfort.
But when Zheng Tongsheng heard that Sun Shan was going to study at Yuelu Academy, his eyes lit up with a light as bright as the sun, his face was filled with smiles even more than when he was a junior student, and he quickly said three good words.
He said to Sun Bomin passionately: "Shanzi's great fortune, Shanzi will not be annihilated in Sunjia Village in Shankala."
He did not understand Sun Bomin's distress at all, let alone comfort him. He even urged Sun Bomin to pack his luggage and leave quickly, so as not to arrive late and spend less than a quarter of an hour studying in Yuelu Academy.
Sun Bomin was melancholy before he came to find Zheng Tongsheng, and he became even more melancholy after he came to find Zheng Tongsheng. He was dejected and listless, with his head hung, and he walked out of Zhengjia Village with heavy steps and unsteady gaits.
When I got home, I saw De Geer who had returned from vacation.
When De Ge'er learned that Sun Shan was going to study in Huguang Province and even to Yuelu Academy, he jumped up excitedly and his handsome face became even more handsome.
She said happily, "Shanzi, when are you leaving? That's great. You can study in another place instead of staying in Guangnan Province. Oh, I also want to go out and see the world. It must be very exciting out there."
His eyes rolled around, and then he said, "Shanzi, how about I accompany you to Yuelu Academy? I also want to see the demeanor of the students."
De Ge'er didn't know about Yuelu Academy at first, but now he works in the county school. Naturally, he has been influenced by the literary world. He has also heard of Yuelu Academy and knows that it is an academy that students all over the world yearn to attend.
This is especially popular among students from Guangnan Province, as it is close and convenient to study there.
Sun Shan refused without a second thought: "No, you should work hard in the county school."
De Ge'er's face fell, and he begged, "Shanzi, please let me go with you. I have learned all the skills in the county school, and I can be your housekeeper. Hehe, I will start to be your housekeeper now, and when you pass the imperial examination and have a big family, I will take over directly."
Sun Shan was about to refuse again when Uncle Sun San came in and slapped his brother on the head.
He said viciously, "What housekeeper? You should work hard in the county school. Shanzi doesn't need you as a housekeeper. When Shanzi passes the imperial examination, if he needs a housekeeper, I, your father, will be the one to do it. If you tell others that a child is a housekeeper, they will laugh at you."
De Ge'er touched his head in grievance and immediately retorted, "Father, if Shanzi passed the imperial examination, he would definitely not ask you to be his housekeeper. Shanzi is so young, only a young housekeeper can be worthy of him.
You are old and illiterate, who would want you to be their housekeeper? You can't even do the accounting, if Shanzi lets you be his housekeeper, you will ruin Shanzi's family fortune sooner or later."
When Uncle Sun heard the words “cannot read or write”, he became completely furious. He hated being called illiterate the most in his life.
Even though it was true that Uncle Sun was illiterate, he still hated people saying that.
Uncle Sun picked up the carrying pole and hit De Ge'er.
If he had surrendered and been beaten, it would not be De Ge'er. When he saw Uncle Sun swinging the carrying pole, De Ge'er would have run away without a trace.
Uncle Sun is old and weak, while De Ge'er is young and strong. Of course, Uncle Sun cannot catch up with De Ge'er.
Sun Bomin was annoyed when he saw De Ge'er and Uncle Sun fighting, especially when he became even more annoyed when they both strongly supported Sun Shan's study at Yuelu Academy.
But no matter how worried Sun Boming was, he still prepared the luggage in full swing.
Su heard that it was snowing in Huguang Province and it was very cold, which made her even more worried.
He hurriedly said that he needed to prepare thick cotton-padded clothes, cotton pants and thick cotton shoes, but time was tight and he couldn't prepare them in time, so he wanted to go to the shop of his relative, Manager Xia, to buy them.
Sun Shan quickly stopped her and said, "Mother, don't prepare anything. It's only the beginning of spring and summer, so it won't be cold. I'll buy some when I get to the academy."
Su understood and refuted: "The cotton-padded clothes and pants bought outside are all of bad quality. They are not as good as the ones at home."
Having said that, Su finally didn't prepare because time didn't allow it.
Even if we work for twelve hours, it will still be too late.
Huang said worriedly, "The journey this time is even longer. We need to find a few strong men to escort Shanzi to the academy."
Huang thought that Sun Boming would definitely go, and wanted to find two strong men to accompany Sun Boming.
So she went to the village chief and asked if anyone could recommend her a man. She wanted a strong and powerful man.
Sun Shan was going to study in Huguang Province, which was something that had never happened in Sunjia Village before.
The farthest place the villagers have ever been to is Huangyang County.
Only because Grandma Sun married into the provincial government did they have the opportunity to go to Guangzhou.
Now Sun Shan was going to study outside the province. The village chief had no experience and it was hard for him to imagine what the other province was like, how to get there, how far it was, and how rugged it was. He knew nothing about these things.
He said to Huang: "We must find a few more people to accompany Shanzi to the academy so that they can take care of him along the way."
Huang nodded and said, "Village Chief, please find some people and we will pay them."
The village chief waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about the money first. Let's see who is suitable. He must be steady and not a fool."
But Sunjia Village is full of illiterate people who stay in Sunjia Village all day long. They are frogs in the well. Where can they find stable and capable people for the village chief to choose?
The village chief was also worried about who to choose to accompany him.
Huang originally wanted to arrange for Sun Boming, Uncle Sun and the youngest son of the village family to go together.
But Uncle Sun and the village chief's youngest son are strong and honest but not smart. They are afraid that they will encounter problems on the way and they will not know what to do and how to deal with them.
Finally, the village chief and Mrs. Huang discussed it and arranged for Sun Boming, the village chief's eldest grandson Dingnan, and Aunt Li's youngest son Sun Dali to go together.
Dingnan is the eldest son and grandson of the village chief. He has been trained to be the "village chief" since he was a child. He is young and literate. The village chief arranged for him to go on the long journey this time, and he also had selfish motives. He wanted to let his eldest grandson have good experience, as this is a rare opportunity.
Sun Dali from Aunt Li's family is as his name suggests, he is big and strong, and naturally very strong, so he can easily beat three people at once. His personality is completely opposite to Aunt Li's, he is taciturn, but hardworking and capable, and he is considered the tallest among the short ones.
When everything was ready, Sun Shan's luggage was also packed.
When Sun Shan saw the large and small sacks of luggage, the corners of his mouth twitched. He was not going to study, he was clearly moving.
He couldn't imagine where Su and Huang got so many things.
Sun Shan just wanted to sling a bag on his back and set off on a spontaneous trip.
Finally, at Sun Shan's request, Mrs. Su and Mrs. Huang reluctantly took out the unnecessary things, but they still packed up two large sacks.
