Chapter 425 He wanted to shout: I! I’ve had enough!
Sun Shan must have been very sad when he saw He Shuqiang hanging his head.
He said to comfort her: "Brother Qiang, go back and read it carefully and memorize it carefully. Since you have transferred to a new school, you must start all over again in the new academy. You should continue to study hard with the teacher and don't be discouraged.
When I first arrived at Yuelu Academy, I was in the same state as you are today. If you calm down and study slowly, you will make great progress.
Brother Qiang, you are not stupid, just lazy. No matter what, you must pass the exam and become a scholar, you cannot be a white-collar worker. "
In fact, He Shuqiang didn't need to take imperial examinations. He could live a good life as long as he behaved himself. But with the status of a scholar, he would live a better life.
Grandpa He was a scholar. As long as He Shuqiang was a scholar, he could take over Grandpa He's job and continue to maintain their wealthy life.
He Shuqiang nodded and said, "Brother Shan, I understand. I will study hard."
Sun Shan took out a small bag of things from the room and said with a smile: "Brother Qiang, this is the specialty I brought from Sunjia Village. Take it back and eat it."
He took out another gift box and handed it to He Shuqiang: "This is what I brought back from Changsha Prefecture. I'm giving it to you."
He Shuqiang's eyes lit up. He looked at the specialties of Sunjia Village, then looked at the beautiful brocade box, and quickly opened it. It turned out to be a scholar's fan.
Sun Shan smiled and said, "This fan is painted with Yuelu Academy. Haha, let me show you where I studied."
He Shuqiang quickly opened the fan, looked at it again and again, and fanned it, blowing out a gust of wind from his hands.
He Shuqiang's face was as pale as a steamed bun, revealing two dimples. He said with a smile, "Brother Shan, haha, you brought it back from a long journey and gave it to me. You are so thoughtful. Brother Shan, I like it so much."
Sun Shan also smiled, patted He Shuqiang's fat back and said, "As long as you like it."
Sun Shan and He Shuqiang chatted for a long time. Sun Shan talked about Yuelu Academy and He Shuqiang talked about Guangya Academy. They shared their respective reading lives.
He Shuqiang asked: "Brother Shan, do you have confidence in this provincial examination?"
Speaking of confidence, Sun Shan did have it.
The probability of success is 70%, this is what Master Zhou analyzed for him. Originally, there was only a 50% chance, but since he is a student from Guangnan, it immediately becomes a 70% chance.
Even if it is not 100% certain, as a human being, you must have confidence.
Sun Shan nodded and said, "Brother Qiang, I have it. I will definitely do my best."
He Shuqiang had dinner at Aunt Sun's house, and then took Sun Shan to the night market.
There is no curfew in Guangzhou, so the night is the busiest time.
Especially in summer, on hot days, it is best to go out at night.
Hejia Village set up a night market to attract people from nearby areas to come and shop. While shopping, they will more or less eat something.
This has boosted the economy of Hejia Village, and the income of the villagers in Hejia Village has been rising steadily.
My second cousin He Shuyu said that the dessert shop at home does the best business at night, and many people come to eat.
Especially handsome men and beautiful women, they love to go to night markets.
Of course, Hejia Village will also organize people to patrol so that if any accident occurs, they can provide rescue as soon as possible.
He Shuqiang was strolling leisurely in the garden, fanning himself, looking like a local rich man, especially his fat body, which made him look more like a nouveau riche.
However, he is a simple and honest person, so his temperament is more like that of a simple and honest nouveau riche.
As they walked, He Shuqiang suggested going into a teahouse to have some snacks.
Sun Shan tried to stop him quickly. It was his business whether he gained weight after eating or not, but he was afraid that he would have to pay for it himself like in the previous times.
It is obvious that Qiang Ge'er is ignorant of the sufferings of the world. He thinks that everyone is as rich as him and can live a life without worries about food and clothing.
Sun Shan felt a little scared when he thought about how he went into the restaurant without checking the prices.
Sun Shan said quickly, "Brother Qiang, we just had a full meal, so we don't need to have a snack. If you're hungry, let's go to the nearby area and have a bowl of jelly or tofu pudding. I heard from my second cousin that there's an old lady setting up a stall, and the jelly and tofu pudding she makes are pretty good, better than those made at Ho Kee's Dessert Shop. Why don't we go and have a try?"
Sun Shan was thinking about the roadside stall. Even if he ate until Qiang Ge'er was paralyzed, the price would still be 100 Wen at most, instead of paying by a few taels at a teahouse.
He Shuqiang's eyes widened as he said in surprise, "Brother Shan, you also know that there is an old lady in front. Let me tell you, her jelly and tofu pudding are really delicious, so let's go and eat them."
Sun Shan breathed a long sigh of relief and decided not to go into the teahouse.
He Shuqiang and Sun Shan quickly found his grandmother's roadside stall. There were already quite a few people there. They found a seat and sat down, ordering a bowl of jelly and a bowl of tofu pudding respectively.
I took a bite and it was indeed delicious, as tender and smooth as steamed eggs. It was cold and sweet, and it was perfect for summer.
Sun Shan said approvingly, "It is indeed delicious."
He Shuqiang took a sip and said cheerfully, "Brother Shan, every time you have a day off, come over and have a bowl. My family also likes it. I'll pack it for them to take back later."
What a filial son Qiang is! His childlike heart is so precious.
Sun Shan praised him and said, "Brother Qiang is really filial. Whenever he has something delicious, he thinks of his family."
He Shuqiang was even happier after hearing this compliment.
Sun Shan and He Shuqiang ate slowly, and the summer heat was relieved a lot.
Suddenly, Brother Qiang shouted, "Banyun, why are you here?"
Half cloud?
Sun Shan had never heard of this. He raised his head and looked at the table next to him. Wasn’t that He Shuqiang’s sister He Chunyuan?
Who is the Banyun that Qiang Ge'er is talking about?
However, who Banyun was was not the point. What scared Sun Shan was Yuan Jie'er's fat body.
How come after not seeing him for three years, he has grown so fat and tall after eating the same “power-generating” feed as De Ge’er?
Even though Yuan Jie'er was wearing a wide skirt, it couldn't hide her round waist.
If He Shuqiang is three Sunshans, then Yuan Jieer is two and a half Sunshans.
Why are they getting fatter and fatter?
He Chunyuan saw He Shuqiang and then Sun Shan and said happily, "Brother Shan, didn't you go to Changsha Prefecture to study? Why are you here?"
Sun Shan quickly greeted He Chunyuan, his eyes were at the same level as He Chunyun's.
It seems that Yuan Jie'er is about 1.6 meters tall.
Sun Shan smiled and said, "Yuan Jie'er, long time no see. I came back to take part in the provincial examination."
He Chunyuan said with a smile, "No wonder I see you here. It turns out you are back to take the imperial examination. Brother Shan, you have to work hard and don't learn from my elder brother."
Then He Chunyuan said, "Brother Shan, why are you so thin and short, and darker than before? Could it be that the soil and water in Changsha are not good for human health?"
Sun Shan was instantly attacked from 360 degrees, and his heart was stabbed again and again!
Why does everyone say that!
He wanted to shout: I've had enough!
But as a qualified gentleman, Sun Shan still smiled and said, "I don't know either."
He Shuqiang glared at He Chunyuan and asked, "Banyun, why are you here? Are you eating secretly again? If my mother sees you, I'll beat you to death."
He Chunyun's face fell, and he said hurriedly: "Brother, Brother Shan, just pretend you can't see me. I'm going back first."
He pointed to the bowl of tofu pudding that had been licked clean and said, "Brother, remember to pay for me. I'm going back first."
After saying this, she led her maid without looking back and ran away in three jumps with one step.
