Chapter 822 Hu Ming is a freeloader

Sunjia Village, the old house of the Sun family.

Su was holding her little girl named Yongger, while Huang was leading Xiao Huming to pick soybeans.

Huang patiently taught: "Hu Ming, pick out the flat and black ones. They are bad and should be thrown away. Do you understand?"

Little Hu Ming answered obediently: "Grandma, I understand."

Su secretly glanced at Xiao Huming and curled her lips. There was one more freeloader in the family.

Su asked casually, "Mother, Shanzi should have finished his exams, right? The results should be out, right? When will Shanzi go home?"

Su was worried about Sun Shan all day long, worrying that he didn't eat well, didn't wear warm clothes, and didn't sleep well. He had come all the way to the capital, and he didn't know where he was. How was he doing?

If he gets admitted, he will naturally be happy. But if he fails, will Shanzi be heartbroken?

I heard that every time the results are announced, many candidates who fail will be so depressed that they jump into the river.

I wonder if there is a river outside the Imperial Examination Hall in the capital? What if Shanzi gets upset and jumps into the river?

Sun Dali, Gui Ge'er is a dull person, not smart at all. If he wasn't strong, he wouldn't let them go with him.

As for Nan Ge'er, he is a little more alert, but he is not strong enough. What if we can't stop him?

The closer it got to the announcement of the results, the more Su thought about it.

I also go to Yezhupo to worship from time to time, hoping that my father-in-law can bless the mountain.

Huang thought for a moment and said, "When did Shanzi go to the capital?"

Hu Ming, who was picking beans on the side, said crisply, "Grandma, Shanbo went to the capital in August last year."

The reason why Hu Ming remembered was that Sun Shan came to Yang's house to visit the landlord Yang before going to the capital.

But things have changed and everything is over. Landlord Yang died not long after Sun Shan left.

I went there in early August, and now it's the end of April. When I calculate, I find that Sun Shan has been away from home for a long time.

Huang said worriedly, "I heard from Shanzi's aunt that the test results are usually released in March. Now it's April, he has already finished the test and knows the results. Shanzi should be home soon."

Su asked quietly, "Mother, I wonder if Shanzi can pass the high school entrance exam? Well, the results are out, but I don't know when they will reach us."

The capital city was too far away, farthest than Su could imagine. As for when there would be results, Su had no idea at all.

Little Hu Ming, who was picking beans, raised his head and said loudly: "Grandma, Shanbo will definitely pass the high school entrance examination. He is the smartest person here. Not only will Shanbo pass the high school entrance examination, but he will also become a high-ranking official and make a fortune, bringing honor to the family."

Before Landlord Yang died, he taught Hu Ming all day long, saying that Sun Shan was the most powerful man in Huangyang County, and Hu Ming should listen to Sun Shan carefully.

If you have any difficulties, go to Sunjia Village to find Sun Shan.

He also said that Sun Shan and Hu Ming's father were good classmates, good friends, and good brothers, and that we should cherish our relationship with Sun Shan.

So after the death of Landlord Yang, Hu Ming ran to Sunjia Village very conspicuously and lived there afterwards.

Su looked at Hu Ming with satisfaction. This freeloader was always useful. He could talk and coax people.

Regardless of whether Sun Shan can get into high school or not, at least at this moment, Su was very happy to hear such words.

Huang looked at Hu Ming lovingly, patted Hu Ming's little head, and said with a smile: "Children are the smartest to talk. Since Hu Ming said so, Shan Zi must have passed the high school entrance examination."

After a pause, he turned around and said to Su: "Don't tell everyone in the village about Shanzi's imperial examination, lest some gossipy women spread rumors."

What if I fail the exam? I will be laughed at.

Although no one dares to laugh at the Sun family in person now, they should still avoid gossip behind their backs.

Su said quickly: "Mother, I never mentioned anything about Shanzi High School."

Then he thought of something and said anxiously, "Mother, you should talk to Shanzi's uncle. He keeps talking outside all day, saying that Shanzi will definitely pass the imperial examination this time. Many people even come to ask when the result will be released."

How could Su dare to say anything careless since it concerned her son's business.

However, Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun were outside collecting mountain products and talking nonsense everywhere, saying that there was a looming official hat above their Sun family's old house. It must be that Shanzi, who was far away in the capital, had passed the imperial examination and was preparing to become a high-ranking official.

Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun were bragging outside all day long, and the more they brag, the more exaggerated they become. Behind their backs, there were countless people waiting to laugh at them.

After Su said this, Huang's face turned cold and she said seriously, "I have to talk to Shuwen and his wife when we have dinner tonight. There are some meals that cannot be eaten carelessly, and some words that cannot be said carelessly."

Hu Ming listened to Huang and Su's words in a daze, and then said, "Grandma, grandma, I won't talk nonsense either."

When Huang saw the fair, gentle, and well-behaved Hu Ming, she said lovingly, "Good Hu Ming, you are a good child."

Su curled her lips. It’s good, but what if it’s even better?

He has no father, no mother, no grandparents, and his fate is extremely difficult.

Su really didn't want to keep this kind of "unlucky" child at home.

However, before Sun Shan left, he told Sun Boming that if Landlord Yang died of poor health, and the eldest son of the Yang family was not good to Hu Ming, then let Hu Ming stay in the Sun family, as their family would not lack for food.

Su was not happy about this and said tactfully that Hu Ming was a child of the Yang family and how could he be raised in the Sun family. Even if Yang Dalang did not mind, the Yang family would definitely mind. The Yang family was clearly capable of raising a child, but they let the Sun family raise him. How unpleasant it would be to say this out loud and it would damage the reputation of Yangjia Village.

However, Sun Shan directly asked Sun Bomin to tell the Yang family members: Hu Ming is very smart, Sun Shan has taken a fancy to Hu Ming and wants to train him well. Hu Ming has a higher chance of becoming a talent if he stays with Mr. Sun, which is better than staying in Yangjia Village.

If Hu Ming, under the guidance of Mr. Sun, could pass the imperial examination to become a juren, at least he could become a scholar, Yangjia Village would benefit a lot.

After Sun Boming said this to the Yang family members, they happily sent Hu Ming over.

How could this be considered as an embarrassment to the Yang family? This was actually an embarrassment to the Yang family.

Mr. Sun thinks that Hu Ming of the Yang family has a promising future. This is a high regard for the children of the Yang family. People in the surrounding area may be envious and jealous.

Of course, the Yang family members hope that Hu Ming can get in touch with Mr. Sun so that Yangjia Village and Sunjia Village can be closely connected, and it would be best if the two villages can become friends.

As expected, after the news that Hu Ming was chosen by Sun Shan and was carefully trained spread, the first group to express objections was Sunjia Village.

The village chief and the elders of the clan even came to ask what was good about Hu Ming and why he trained children from other villages instead of children from his own village.

Sun Bomin was tongue-tied and didn't know what to say. It was not his intention to take care of Hu Ming at all. It was Sun Shan who ordered him to say this to others.

How would Sun Bomin know whether Hu Ming was good or not?

He had no choice but to refuse and say that it was Sun Shan's idea and he would explain it to the clan members when he came back.

Seeing that Sun Boming really couldn't explain it, the village chief and the elders had to leave quietly and wait for Sun Shan to return.

At the same time, it also asks parents to strictly discipline their children, so that when Sun Shan comes back, he may be noticed and have a bright future.
