Chapter 582 Bad Luck
Sun Boming was working on the orchard in the back mountain with Yongger and his wife.
In recent years, the main source of income for the family, besides the flower garden, is the orchard, which earns much more than the dozen acres of land owned by Old Sun's family.
Sun Bomin thought that after Sun Shan returned home, they would get married, and naturally they would have grandchildren.
Sun Shan’s status is different now, and so are his grandchildren’s status. They cannot be compared with those country folk, so naturally the betrothal gifts and dowries he prepares must be much larger.
So he and Su still couldn't calm down, stop, and stop working.
I need to make more money to save for the betrothal gifts and dowries for my grandchildren.
If you have a lot of grandchildren, you will need more money.
Thinking of this, Sun Boming became very motivated and continued to work hard to save more money.
Suddenly, he saw a person running up from the bottom of the mountain from afar. When he saw the person clearly, Sun Boming was stunned.
He pulled Yong Ge'er beside him and asked, "Look, is that Gui Ge'er?"
Yong Ge'er was weeding. He stopped what he was doing and stared in the direction of the person coming.
He said with certainty: "Uncle, it's Brother Gui."
Then he asked in confusion, "Why is Gui Ge'er here?"
It was the daughter-in-law next to him who reacted and shouted excitedly: "Uncle, the head of the family is Gui Ge'er. Could it be that our master, the Juren, has also returned?"
After hearing this, Sun Boming and Yong Ge'er reacted.
He stopped working and hurried down the mountain, shouting as he ran: "Gui Ge'er, is Shanzi back?"
When Gui Ge'er ran halfway, he saw Sun Bomin and Yong Ge'er and shouted happily, "Uncle Min, Brother Shan has returned home. I came here to call you home."
Sun Bomin hurried down the mountain, holding Gui Ge'er tightly, and asked anxiously: "Is Shanzi really back? When did he come back? Is he in good health?"
Gui Ge'er knew that Sun Bomin was most concerned about Sun Shan's health, so he quickly replied, "Uncle Min, don't be nervous. Brother Shan is fine, everything is fine."
Hearing Gui Ge'er say this, Sun Boming felt a little relieved.
Gui Ge'er has been following Sun Shan all the time. If he says it's okay, then Sun Shan must be okay.
Then he asked anxiously, "You wrote to me before and kept saying you were coming back, but you never showed up. I thought if you didn't come back, I would go to the capital to look for you."
Sun Bomin complained as he walked, and asked Gui Ge'er about Sun Shan's situation from time to time. Even after learning that he was doing well, he was still worried.
When I got home, I saw Sun Shan chatting leisurely with Huang and Su, and my heart finally settled down.
Sun Shan looked up and saw Sun Boming. His eyes became red again. He stood up and walked forward step by step.
He walked up to Sun Bomin, knelt down heavily, kowtowed heavily, and shouted excitedly: "Father, Shanzi is unfilial, Shanzi is back."
Sun Bomin could no longer hold back his tears. He wiped his eyes with his muddy sleeves, pulled Sun Shan up, and shouted excitedly, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
Seeing that Sun Shan was dark and thin, Sun Bomin felt very distressed.
But these are not important, as long as you return home safely.
Sun Bomin said to Su and Huang, "Mother, Shanzi's mother, kill an old hen tonight and make soup for Shanzi. The child has suffered a lot. Look at how thin he has become."
Su immediately responded, "Boss, Ming, Qing, and Guang are already butchering the chickens. You don't need me to tell you, I know everything."
After Huang and Su calmed down, they thought of butchering a chicken and making soup for Sun Shan to nourish his body. Without Sun Bomin's instructions, they had already gone to do it.
Sun Shan held Sun Bomin's hand and said happily, "Dad, I feel relieved that everything is fine at home. Don't worry, I'm fine too. I'm thinner and darker now because I was tired on the way back. I'll be fine after I get enough rest."
Sun Bomin looked at Sun Shan carefully and confirmed that his face was just tired from the journey, not the kind of fatigue from illness, so he felt relieved.
After lunch, the village chief and clan elders also came over to understand the situation.
Sun Shan explained them one by one.
The village chief sighed and said regretfully: "I didn't expect something like this to happen. It seems like bad luck. I need to find a master to take a look."
One of the clan leaders agreed and said, "It must be bad luck that this happened. Alas, we were so careful, but we still got into trouble. I don't know where the feng shui is bad. We need to find a master who knows the way to take a closer look. If there is anything wrong, we must correct it."
Another elder said, "Do you think anyone in our village did something wrong when Shanzi was on his way to the exam? Otherwise, how could he have been in trouble for no reason and encountered such a thing?"
After these words were spoken, Su and Huang also became nervous.
Huang's face turned pale, and she said anxiously, "Yes, Uncle is right. Shanzi was doing well before, so why did he suddenly lose his momentum? Did he mess up something?"
Su's face turned even paler as she said, "Mother, head of the family, we went to Yezhupo on New Year's Eve to burn incense for Grandpa Shanzi, but we couldn't do it. At that time, I felt something was wrong and felt uneasy. Why couldn't I light cigarettes or candles for no reason?"
Sun Bomin also thought of this incident and said with a bit of panic: "But that was Grandpa Shanzi. We were supposed to be happy when we offered incense to him, but that day we tried to light the incense sticks but they wouldn't light. Later I just burned hay and then sent the incense sticks over."
Sun Boming also found it strange, and at that time he was praying to Grandpa Shanzi to bless Shanzi High School.
But I didn’t expect that Shanzi had been poisoned and there was no way he could go to Beijing to take the exam.
I don’t know why Grandpa Shanzi doesn’t accept incense and candles.
It was the first time for the village chief, clan elders and Huang to hear about this matter, and they all looked at each other in surprise.
Sun Bomin said to Huang: "Mother, I didn't tell you at the beginning because I didn't want you to worry. Now that Shanzi is back, we are relieved."
So now you can tell others without anyone worrying about you.
Sun Shan was speechless. He had originally been talking about his trip to Beijing for the imperial examination, and then about his life in Nanjing, and eventually he ended up talking about metaphysics.
Moreover, Sun Boming and Su spoke in a very serious manner, as if some supernatural event had really happened.
Sun Shan quickly comforted them, saying, "Don't worry, I'm home now. I'll be fine. I missed the exam this time, but I'll go next time. You see, I didn't die from food poisoning. I have a strong vitality and good luck. Although there were some twists and turns along the way, the result will be good. Don't worry, don't think too much."
Sun Shan's words did not comfort anyone at all.
So the village chief and the elders decided to find a master to take a look, especially to look at the Feng Shui of Wild Boar Hill.
Huang, Su and Sun Bomin also agreed very much, and said that they must find a master with profound skills to take a look and make sure to remove the bad luck left on Sun Shan so that Sun Shan will not only be healthy and have a smooth exam, but also get his name on the list of successful candidates.
After dinner, people from the second and third rooms gathered together.
Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun were not at home. They had gone to the deep mountains and forests to collect mountain products.
