Chapter 584: Future generations carry banners and buy water, so they don’t have to be wandering ghos

My hometown is still there, it is the fireworks in my eyes, it is the childhood of Xiaojin River.

Sun Shan walked home step by step with unsteady steps.

When I walked into the yard, I saw Huang and Su picking black beans, which they should use to make black bean and pork bone soup.

Sun Shan took a low stool, sat beside him, and helped pick the black beans.

After picking up the pieces for a long time, he calmly asked, "Grandma, Mom, why did you go to Peking University and Tsinghua University?"

Huang and Su sighed.

Huang sighed and said, "Poor landlord Yang, the old man sent his son away, poor Peking University, he passed away at such a young age."

Su said a little fearfully: "Not long after I went to Qingbei, I received a letter from your eldest aunt, saying that you were sick in Nanjing, and you didn't go to the capital, and you couldn't go home. Mother and father were scared to death. Qingbei went there because of an illness, and mother was afraid of you..."

Su's eyes became red as she spoke, and she said sadly, "What a good child from Peking University and Tsinghua University, he is gone just like that. Life is unpredictable, he got sick for no reason, and he is gone for no reason. It's pitiful."

Su and Sun Bomin did not mention this matter in the letter because they were afraid that Sun Shan would be sad.

Huang stared at the gate of the yard and said with pity, "I still remember Qingbei, Dege'er, you ate the fried fish I made at home, how come you're gone in the blink of an eye? Unexpected changes happen in the world, and people are subject to misfortunes at any time. Man proposes, God disposes. The most important thing in life is to live in peace and safety. Everything else is fake."

Su shook her head and said, "Poor boy from Peking University and Tsinghua University, he lost his father and mother in two days. Alas, half a year later, Landlord Yang's wife died of grief. Poor Landlord Yang, he lost three relatives in one year, what a sin."

Sun Shan was taking a walk outside when he ran into De Ge'er's childhood sweetheart, Big Head Dog. As they chatted, they talked about their little friend De Ge'er and then about Yang Qingbei.

Da Goutou said that Qingbei passed away due to an acute illness. His wife couldn't bear the blow and hanged herself. His mother also couldn't bear the blow and passed away half a year later.

Hearing this, Sun Shan couldn't believe it, nor was he willing to believe that his little friend was one year younger than him and died at such a young age.

It seemed like a lifetime ago, and his childhood was like the Xiaojin River in Sunjia Village, which would pop into his mind from time to time. And his best friend in childhood, Yang Qingbei, was gone just like that.

Sun Shan continued to pick the black beans in the basin, as if only picking black beans could calm him down.

Sun Shan asked with difficulty: "Is Hu Ming being kept by Landlord Yang now?"

Huang nodded and said, "Now only Landlord Yang can take care of poor Hu Ming. Fortunately, Qingbei still has this bloodline, and there are descendants to carry banners and buy water, so he doesn't have to be a lonely ghost. Poor little Hu Ming, he has no father, no mother, no grandmother, and only Landlord Yang is his grandfather."

Su curled her lips and said worriedly, "It's better now that Landlord Yang is here. If Landlord Yang is not here, the kids from Tsinghua and Peking University won't know what to do. Landlord Yang's eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law are not good."

Yang Dalang and his wife don't have a very good reputation in the surrounding area. If they didn't have no other choice, they would not rent land from the landlord Yang for farming.

According to legend, Yang Dalang was very harsh and treated his tenants very badly. In recent years, Yang's health had deteriorated, so he handed over the household affairs to Yang Dalang, which ended up ruining Yang's reputation.

Sun Shan also went to the Yang family when he was a child. Yang Dalang did give him a bad impression and was a very cold person.

Sun Shan and De Ge'er didn't like going to Landlord Yang's house, so they always came to Sunjia Village to play with them.

It is obvious that Yang Dalang has become worse and worse in recent years, and his reputation is getting worse and worse.

Huang was worried about Hu Ming and said, "Landlord Yang is not in good health and I don't know how long he can live. Hu Ming is still young and I don't know if Landlord Yang can live until Hu Ming grows up."

Su rolled her eyes and whispered, "Mother, people outside say that tiger roars bring bad luck to my father, mother, and grandmother, and that tiger roars are unlucky. They also say that sooner or later, Landlord Yang will be killed by the tiger roar."

Huang said sternly, "What nonsense! If he was born unlucky, he would be unlucky. How can he become unlucky at a certain age? Those gossipy women just like to gossip."

Su immediately fell silent and dared not speak anymore.

Huang hated it most when people said things that tarnished his reputation. If people outside said that Hu Ming had a hard life and could bring death to others, his future would definitely be difficult.

Rumors stop at the wise, but people's words are more terrifying and can kill people in minutes.

Sun Shan's face was calm, but his heart was not. He picked up the black beans one by one, put them down, and picked them up again. He didn't know what to say.

She sighed and said, "Mother, grandma is right. We can't gossip with gossipers. It's not worthy of your status. You are an old lady now, so you can't gossip with gossipy women. If someone brings it up in front of you, just refute it and tell them to shut up. Hu Ming is a kid from Peking University and Tsinghua University. We should take good care of him and make his future easier. We can't follow the trend and gossip with outsiders."

Su's eyes widened, a little frightened, because Sun Shan's words were very stern, unusually serious.

Su agreed, "Shanzi, mother understands that you have to speak up for Huming outside."

Su actually also felt that Hu Ming had a tough fate and would bring bad luck to his relatives, but even though she didn't understand what Sun Shan said, it didn't stop her from doing what he said.

Her Shan Zi is the only juren scholar in the surrounding area, no, in Huangyang County, so what he said must be right.

After lunch, Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun returned home late.

The moment Uncle Sun heard that Sun Shan had returned home, he immediately threw away the mountain products in his hands. His own son Guang Ge'er didn't even look at him and hurried to the old house.

When he saw Sun Shan, he rushed forward.

Sun Shan was so scared that he stepped back repeatedly, but fortunately Gui Ge'er was quick-witted and blocked Uncle Sun.

Uncle Sun San looked in vain and said sadly, "Shanzi, Shanzi, you are back? Why did you come back just now? I heard that you were sick, is it serious? And that pufferfish, what is it? Why haven't I heard of it? Is it very poisonous? Is it poisonous like mushrooms?"

Uncle Sun was a mountain man and was not familiar with the fresh fish in rivers and seas, so he didn't know what puffer fish was.

If Sun Shan had not been poisoned by porcupine, Uncle Sun would not have known that there is a kind of fish called bubble fish, which is extremely poisonous and has a mortality rate similar to that of being bitten by a seven-step snake.

Sun Shan quickly told Uncle Sun San to calm down and sit down to talk.

It’s amazing that Uncle Sun is still so lively and active even though he is already a grandfather.

Sun Shan smiled and said, "Uncle San, I'm feeling much better now. You don't have to worry."

Uncle Sun looked Sun Shan over from head to toe, his eyes rolling around for a long time before he asked, "Shanzi, did you really not eat the so-called poisonous fish?"

Gui Ge'er immediately responded, "Uncle San, Shan Ge really didn't eat it. He only ate the crucian carp. Oh, those who ate the poisonous fish were fine, but Shan Ge got into trouble after eating the non-toxic crucian carp. This is so unlucky that even drinking water can cause a toothache."

Uncle Sun didn’t quite believe what Gui Ge’er said. It was too unscientific and too unreasonable.

He thought Sun Shan ate the poisonous fish because he was greedy, but was too embarrassed to say it, so he said that he suffered an unexpected disaster because he ate crucian carp.

He was afraid that because of his greed, he would miss the important opportunity to go to Beijing for the imperial examination.

Afraid of being blamed by his family and villagers, he told a huge lie, making himself a victim and gaining sympathy so that no one would blame him.
