Chapter 426 He Banyun
Sun Shan and He Shuqiang looked at He Chunyuan who disappeared in the crowd with just one move, and the two looked at each other.
He Shuqiang sighed and silently told the boss that the two bowls of tofu pudding on that table should be counted as for their table.
Sun Shan frowned and asked, "Brother Qiang, why is Sister Yuan getting fatter and fatter?"
Unexpectedly, He Chunyuan is fatter than three years ago, and of course taller too.
But her height cannot grow faster than her fat, and now Yuan Jie'er is like a moving bucket.
He Shuqiang sighed again and said helplessly: "Brother Shan, don't call her Yuan Jie'er, she is now called He Banyun."
At this time, Sun Shan remembered that He Shuqiang had just called him Banyun. It turned out that he was calling He Chunyuan. He asked in confusion, "Why is he called Banyun? Did he change his name?"
There must be something fishy about changing the name for no reason.
Sun Shan's mind was filled with curiosity. He blinked his eyes and motioned He Shuqiang to tell him the reason.
He Shuqiang thought Sun Shan was his good friend, so he explained without reservation: "Well, it's because she can't get married."
Sun Shan didn't understand what the name change had to do with being unable to get married. However, He Chunyuan seemed to be seventeen years old and still unmarried, so she was considered an old maid.
Sun Shan asked again: "Brother Qiang, what does this have to do with changing the name?"
He Shuqiang glanced at Sun Shan sullenly and said sullenly, "My elder sister is old enough, so my mother naturally took her to see a date. But I didn't expect that after I told the boy's parents everything was fine, the boy turned around and gave me silk as soon as he saw my elder sister. Oh, my poor elder sister."
The man gave the woman silk to show that he was not interested.
Sun Shan recalled that his elder sister Guyu came to Guangzhou to see him, but others didn't like her and sent her a piece of silk cloth.
Later, the piece of silk cloth was made into a handkerchief and given to Sun Shan.
The elder sister said that silk was very expensive and should not be thrown away. Sun Shan was a scholar and should use good things.
So the silk handkerchief that Guyu received during the blind date finally fell into Sun Shan's hands, but time passed quickly and no one knew where it was lost.
He Shuqiang continued, "My mother was very angry and turned against the man, but my eldest sister was heartless and ate and drank as usual, and even got fatter and fatter."
Sun Shan consoled him by saying, "Look at this matter, it's impossible to succeed in one go. If it doesn't work once, try it twice, and you will succeed eventually."
He Shuqiang shook his head and said, "Well, my elder sister has been on a date five times. Every time, she talked to the man's parents about it, but when the man and woman met, she changed her mind. Those men all disliked my elder sister's fatness."
After a pause, He Shuqiang said angrily, "Brother Shan, how can my elder sister be fat? She is just plumper than the average woman, right?"
Sun Shan really wanted to say that it was not right, your eldest sister is really fat.
But seeing how much Qiang Ge loved his sister, he said against his conscience: "Yes, Yuan Jie'er, no, Yun Jie'er is just a little bit fatter than the average girl, Yun Jie'er is not fat at all."
Sun Shan covered his chest with his hands. He said something against his will and his conscience hurt.
He Shuqiang was very satisfied with Sun Shan's agreement. He nodded and said, "Humph, those men judge people by appearance. They are not good people at first glance. It's a good thing that my eldest sister didn't marry him."
After He Shuqiang said so much, Sun Shan still didn't understand why he changed his name. He asked doubtfully, "Brother Qiang, judging a man by his appearance is not good. You did the right thing. By the way, what does this have to do with changing your name?"
He Shuqiang looked at Sun Shan helplessly, then sighed and said, "My mother was very angry and scolded those men. But my eldest sister's marriage still needs to be looked for. My grandfather felt that my eldest sister had a bad fate, so he asked a fortune teller to tell her fortune so that my eldest sister can find a suitable husband as soon as possible."
The corner of Sun Shan's mouth twitched. He probably knew why He Chunyuan changed his name.
He Shuqiang even mentioned finding a master, just like when Su and Sun Boming took him to Sun Banxian for fortune-telling and asked Sun Banxian to give him a name so that he would have a safe and smooth life.
He Shuqiang continued, "At first, the master said that the door of my house was not opened well, which would be unfavorable for my children's marriage. So my grandfather and father changed the door overnight.
Well, my eldest sister went to see a man and was chosen by him, but my mother was worried and sent someone to investigate the man. As a result, it was really infuriating. It turned out that he had an illegitimate child outside and urgently needed to find a wife to cover it up. When my mother found out, she was so angry that she fell seriously ill. "
Sun Shan's eyes widened. It turned out that the short drama on a certain audio platform actually happened to He Chunyuan. Oh, Sister Yuan was so unlucky.
Sun Shan consoled her by saying, "Fortunately your mother sent someone to investigate carefully. If Yun Jieer had married him, it would have been a disaster."
He Shuqiang nodded, then shook his head and said, "Yes, fortunately my eldest sister didn't marry him. But my eldest sister is a heartless person. My mother was very angry about this, but she still ate and drank as usual, not sad at all, and continued to gain a few pounds."
Sun Shan smiled. He had only met Yun Jie'er a few times, but every time they met he just ate and drank. How heartless she was.
It truly demonstrates that food is the most important thing for people.
He Shuqiang continued, "My mother thought the master was a liar, so she invited another master. This master said that the door was opened correctly, but the largest peach tree in the yard had attracted bad luck, so it needed to be cut down and replaced with an osmanthus tree. Peach blossoms are beautiful when they bloom too brightly, but they are too seductive and not suitable. Osmanthus trees are very good, representing the harvest of a noble husband."
Sun Shan's mouth twitched, and he asked, "Then your grandfather cut down the peach trees and planted osmanthus trees?"
He Shuqiang nodded, then said with a blushing face, "The peach tree was cut down and the osmanthus tree was planted, but my eldest sister still hasn't found her marriage partner yet. As for me, haha, after I planted the osmanthus tree, I finally found my marriage partner."
He Shuqiang's ears turned red, and his pale face turned even redder: "My mother said that the master might have made a mistake last time, and chose the wrong person, so my mother asked another master to come and take a look."
He Shuqiang said that he is engaged and plans to get married next year.
I heard from He Shuqiang before that since Mr. He was planting osmanthus trees, he naturally had to look for osmanthus seedlings, so he asked his colleagues where the osmanthus trees were good.
The colleague happened to know where there were osmanthus trees for sale, so he accompanied He Shuqiang and Mr. He to buy osmanthus. He happened to meet his colleague's friend who was also buying osmanthus.
After a few visits, the two families got to know each other because of their discussion on how to grow osmanthus. Later, they learned that Mr. He and his colleague's friends had young boys and girls in their families, and somehow they got to know each other.
In the end, because of buying osmanthus flowers, He Shuqiang successfully found a wife.
I cut down a peach tree, planted a osmanthus tree, and got a daughter-in-law. Although this ending is beautiful, it goes against the original intention.
That’s why Doctor He said that the master had made a mistake and he wanted to find another master to take a look.
Sun Shan said cheerfully, "Brother Qiang, no matter what, this sweet-scented osmanthus tree is well planted."
He Shuqiang's face turned even redder after hearing this, and he continued, "My mother spent a lot of money to find a master to come and take a look. The master said that there was nothing wrong with the door and the osmanthus tree. In the end, the master found that my eldest sister's name was not good. He Chunyuan means flawless and perfect. It's too perfect. This name is too big and my eldest sister can't bear it."
Hearing this, Sun Shan recalled a joke from his previous life.
If a family has a son or daughter who has never married, the parents will be very surprised by everything, especially the feng shui.
They either change the door or cut down the trees in the house, or set up a peach blossom array to help the older single men and women in the family find wives or get married.
It seems that Madam He went a step further and even changed her name, and Sun Shan was convinced.
He Shuqiang sighed again and said, "When water is full, it overflows; when flowers are full, they wither; when people are full, they become weak. The name Chunyuan is too full, so the master named the eldest sister Banyun, which means half and half plus the other half, and it's just right. Yuan and Yun have similar rhymes, so she was named Banyun."
