Chapter 594: Give more to the weak and ask for less from the strong, just fool around

The Sun residence in the county needs to be taken care of from time to time because no one lives there.

At first, it was given to the eldest sister Guyu and the fourth sister Hanlu. Later, because there were more children in the family and more things to do, the task was transferred to Dege'er and his wife Huang.

De Geer complained, "Shanzi, I have been waiting for you here for a whole day. If I hadn't heard that you were in the county town, I would have returned to Sunjia Village long ago."

Sun Shan smiled and asked, "Are you taking a day off today?"

De Geer nodded and said, "Yes, I knew you were back a long time ago, but it's not my day off yet, so I couldn't ask for leave. I wanted to go back to Sunjia Village today, but my elder sister said you were in the city, so I came here to wait for you. Who knew I would wait and wait until my neck grew longer before you came back."

The two walked into the living room, and De Geer continued to ask, "Did you go to Hong Xiucai's place today? No wonder you went there all day. You must have gone to teach the students."

De Ge'er knew that every time Sun Shan went to look for Mr. Hong, he would be caught and taken to teach the students in the school.

Of course, the content of the talk is how to go from a peasant boy to a scholar.

De Ge'er knew it so clearly, it was all said by the indignant Huang Xiucai.

His wife would go back to her parents' home every now and then, so he would naturally go along and eat with them. As time went by, he became familiar with his father-in-law's brothers and they could talk about anything.

Sun Shan took a sip of tea and looked at De Ge'er carefully again: he was tall, with bright eyes and fair skin. He didn't look like a country boy. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a city boy.

He nodded and said, "I haven't chatted with the teacher for a long time, so we chatted for a while."

Then he asked, "How is your work at the county school? I heard from Uncle San that you don't want to work there anymore?"

De Ge'er often complained that he did not want to stay in the county school to do odd jobs, thinking that the days there would be over at a glance, and with a monthly salary of several hundred wen, he did not even have enough money to eat a good meal.

What Uncle Sun meant was that De Ge'er wanted to stay and work with Sun Shan and didn't want to work in the county school.

However, since Sun Shan was currently focusing on the imperial examinations and not engaging in production, he could not find a suitable position for Sedeger to enter.

Even though Uncle Sun complained, he would not let De Ge'er run away from the county school.

The wages for working in a county school are not high, but the reputation is good. Who wouldn’t be envious?

Speaking of the county school, De Ge'er was unhappy. He hung his head and said in a muffled voice, "Ah, it's boring to work in the county school. Every day I'm either helping others do this or that. I'm treated like a servant. I really don't want to work here anymore."

De Ge'er's job is still to do odd jobs. He is like a brick, and will be moved wherever he is needed.

He was required to do various small tasks, such as delivering letters, posting notices, and even buying daily necessities for the teacher.

It is indeed very free when I have free time, but I still feel a little bullied and treated like a maid.

The arrogant De Ge'er would never agree to that.

It’s just that working in a county school sounds prestigious and face-saving, and it’s stable without the worry of unemployment.

Less money is better than less, but as for suffering, being a country boy is even more of a burden.

These are nothing in front of Uncle Sun and Uncle Sun.

Whenever De Ge'er said he didn't want to do it, the couple didn't care that he was married and still played mixed doubles with big wooden sticks.

Let De Ge'er not be ungrateful for what he has. Where can he find a job that guarantees a salary and works from nine to five?

Sun Shan shook his head and said, "No one in the county school bullies you, right?"

De Ge'er's eyes widened, and he immediately retorted: "Who dares to bully me? Humph, if you dare to bully me, I'll punch you."

Sun Shan smiled and said, "That's all. I won't be bullied anymore and will just work hard at the county school."

De Geer rolled his eyes at Sun Shan and said in a dull tone, "But you can't make money working in the county school. My father and mother can make money by collecting mountain products."

Sun Shan asked doubtfully, "Do you want to collect mountain products?"

De Ge'er's eyes lit up, and he nodded and said, "Shan Zi, what do you think? I can go and collect mountain products and make more money."

It’s good, but Sun Shan doesn’t know whether De Ge’er can bear this kind of suffering.

In fact, collecting mountain products is also very hard work. You have to climb over mountains and cross ridges to collect them from people living in the mountains. Not to mention the danger, the tortuous road is daunting enough.

Although Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun were cunning and cunning, they were country people after all and could do hard labor, so they could naturally handle the collection of mountain products.

But what about De Ge’er?

Sun Shan suspected that he would give up after collecting mountain products for a few days.

He said doubtfully: "Brother De, I agree with you collecting mountain products, but I don't know if Uncle San and Uncle San agree?"

Speaking of Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun, De Ge'er said dejectedly: "My father and mother definitely don't support me. They let me continue to work in the county school, and decided to hand over their mountain products business to my eldest brother. They also said that when they are old, my eldest brother will come back to replace them in collecting mountain products."

De Ge'er sighed and continued, "My father and mother have already made arrangements. My eldest brother will collect mountain products, and my second brother will inherit your family's flower garden. As for me, I will stay in the county school and work hard."

De Ge'er was very honest and direct, and he actually told all of Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun's thoughts.

De Geer saw Sun Shan's mouth twitching, but he was not angry. He smiled and said, "Father and mother said that you will become a high-ranking official sooner or later, so you will naturally look down on the flower garden at home and will naturally give it to my second brother."

Sun Shan was very upset, but he thought it was normal for Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun to have such thoughts.

The Sun family garden is managed by Sun Boming and Yongger. When Sun Boming gets old, most of the work will be handed over to Yongger.

As for Sun Shan, everyone thought he was a promising man and looked down on the flower garden.

He believed that Sun Shan was a man who could do great things and would not be trapped in the small village of Sunjia Village.

When he returned home this time, not only Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun talked to him about their son's career, but Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun also talked to him about their son's career.

Ming'er and Qing'er work in the provincial capital, but at the moment, Ming'er is doing better than Qing'er.

Ming Ge'er is the shopkeeper of a dessert shop with a high salary. He and his wife He Xiaorou are discussing buying a house.

Of course the money was not enough, so I asked Uncle Sun Er and Uncle Sun San to borrow.

As for Qing Ge'er, he is just a picture framer. I heard that his skills are average and he doesn't earn much, just enough for the couple's expenses, and they bring the surplus back to raise their children.

Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun looked at the two brothers, one of whom was about to have a house in the city, while the other had no way to own a house, so they were naturally worried.

So he went to Sun Shan for advice on what to do.

They thought that since Sun Shan had read a lot of books, he would naturally be able to think of a good way to prevent the two brothers from living too far apart.

If a rift arises and the children become enemies, no parent would want that.

Even an honest judge cannot settle family disputes, so Sun Shan had no way to deal with it.

I could only comfort Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun and tell them to relax. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. How much they can earn is their own ability and their parents have no control over it.

As parents, they can only manage their own property, and when the time comes to divide the property, they just need to divide it as they see fit.

Give more to the weak and ask less from the strong. Just muddle through and don't think too much.
