Chapter 895 Returning to Sunjia Village after the Examination
The road from Huangyang County back to Sunjia Village is both long and short.
The closer I get to Sunjia Village, the more I feel homesick.
Although everyone says that everything is fine at home, you have to see it for yourself to see whether it is actually good or not.
I don't know what grandma, dad, and mom are doing. Is Yun Jie'er secretly eating again?
My second uncle is as honest as my father and he is someone that people can trust.
But Uncle San is different. Will he brag everywhere and become more and more exaggerated?
Before leaving, his uncle repeatedly reminded him to make sure his name was on the imperial examination and that he wanted to attend the Jinshi banquet.
Now that you have achieved what you wanted, you must be very proud.
Sun Shan sat in the carriage, thinking about all sorts of things, and fell asleep unknowingly.
When I opened my eyes again and lifted the car curtain, it was dark outside and it was almost dark.
Sun Shan rubbed his eyes and asked, "Little Zhu, have you arrived yet?"
Xiao Zhu, who was walking outside, smiled and said, "Mr. Sun, we are almost there. We will reach Sunjia Village in a few hundred meters after passing this bend."
Sun Shan didn't want to let Xiao Zhu, the escort leader, to come along. After all, they were already very tired after returning to Huangyang County from Guangzhou.
However, since escort leader Xiao Zhu insisted on following, he had no choice but to agree.
Sun Dingnan said happily: "We are only a few steps away. Hey, I am finally back."
Sun Dali said with a smile: "Yes, we are finally home. Haha, my stomach is growling, it's just in time for dinner when we get home."
Xiao Zhu, the escort leader, said jokingly, "Brother Dali, your family must not know you are back. If you want to eat, you may have to cook it all over again."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter.
Outside, there were mountains not far away, and only a few wisps of clouds were visible on the horizon.
Because it is September, the sky does not get dark as quickly as in winter.
With the afterglow of the setting sun, I can still see the road ahead clearly.
Sun Shan took a sip of water and felt much better.
I inadvertently caught a glimpse of Gui Ge'er sitting alone in a corner, pursing his lips and saying nothing.
Sun Shan chuckled. He knew without asking that Gui Ge'er was afraid of seeing Jinhua carrying a boy out. He shook his head and didn't intend to comfort her anymore.
Anyway, it won’t be long before we know whether Jinhua is giving birth to a boy or a girl.
It’s up to Gui Ge’er whether he is happy or sad.
The convoy moved forward quickly and soon arrived at the entrance of the village.
When Sun Shan saw the three words "Sunjia Village" in the light of the afterglow, he felt even more excited.
The sound of crickets and insects chirping on the country road and the sweet smell of the hometown air made me nervous.
Sun Shan shouted "Stop!", got off the car, and walked forward with everyone.
This is a road home, and also a road that everyone longs for.
At this moment, Sun Shan was even more nervous than when he entered the imperial examination hall. His legs and feet were even a little stiff from nervousness.
Sun Shan had experienced this kind of homesickness many times, but every time he stepped into Sunjia Village, he still felt the same pain.
Soon the convoy passed through the big banyan tree. Sun Shan looked not far away and saw no one.
I looked at the dim lights in the surrounding houses and it seemed that all the villagers were eating at home.
There was no one to greet him, no laughter or joy. It was Sun Shan's first time to return home in such a low-key manner, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
He shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and continued walking towards the Sun family's old house.
As I was walking, I suddenly heard a shout from the left: "Is that Mr. Sun?"
The voice was a little trembling, and Sun Shan felt it was extremely familiar.
He paused and looked in the direction of the sound.
Oh, it’s Aunt Li.
You weren't home for dinner. Where were you going?
Sun Shan took a closer look and saw Aunt Li holding a wooden bowl. It seemed that she was looking for a friend to have a meal and gossip together.
The villagers just like to eat. They walk out with their bowls and chopsticks to eat, gossiping about other people’s affairs while eating. They are so happy.
I don’t know whether Aunt Li went home with the dishes or came out.
It was a little dark, and Sun Shan couldn't see clearly whether there was anything in the bowl.
But this is not the point. The point is Aunt Li’s cry.
Sun Shan smiled, maintaining his elegant image as a scholar, and responded, "Grandma Li, it's me!"
With this response, Aunt Li rushed to Sun Shan in less than five seconds as if she was riding on a Hot Wheels.
After seeing Sun Shan clearly, he shouted, "Oh my God, it really is our village's Jinshi master. Oh my God, the Jinshi master has returned home."
Aunt Li shouted very exaggeratedly, several times in a row, breaking the tranquility of the small mountain village.
Just as Sun Shan was about to say something, Sun Dali ran up from behind and knelt down in front of Aunt Li.
With red eyes, he shouted, "Mother, Dali is back. Dali missed you so much, and I finally see you."
Aunt Li only saw Sun Dali at this time, and she just responded with one sentence: "It's good that Dali is back."
Then he threw Sun Shan down and continued to shout, "Scholar Sun, our Sunjia Village Scholar has really returned. I am not seeing things, I am not dreaming, my God, our Scholar has returned home."
After saying this, he rushed forward.
Sun Shan finally saw clearly that the bowl in Aunt Li's hand was empty. It seemed that she happened to meet Sun Shan on her way home after eating.
Sun Dali, who was kneeling on the ground and had not yet stood up: ....
Sun Shan looked at Sun Dali with sympathy.
The role of a passerby is the role of a passerby, even in front of his closest relatives, he is still a passerby.
A male protagonist is a male protagonist, and he attracts people's attention wherever he goes.
That’s right, he, Sun Shan, is the male protagonist.
In Aunt Li's eyes, she could live without her son, but she couldn't live without Sun Shan.
Gui Ge'er, Sun Dingnan, and Xiao Zhu Biaotou looked at each other, and then unanimously helped Sun Dali up.
Aunt Li has already run away, so it’s useless to kneel down and show filial piety.
Sun Dali should not take the fact of "coming back by himself" too seriously. No one cares, including his mother.
Sun Shan was just about to move forward, but before he could take a step, suddenly bursts of noise came from all directions, and soon patches of fire appeared.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Sun Shan saw extremely familiar figures rushing towards him.
As they rushed forward, they shouted, "Mr. Sun is really back. Oh my God, Dali Niang didn't lie."
Aunt Li’s voice is really loud. She called everyone out in just a short while.
Suddenly, a figure ran over quickly, and before Sun Shan could see clearly what it looked like.
Then I heard shouting: "Shanzi, where is Sanshu's Shanzi? Where is Sanshu's Jinshi master? Sanshu is here to find you."
Uncle Sun ran quickly towards the convoy from a distance and took a look.
Seeing the hero Sun Shan standing calmly and confidently in the center of the crowd, shining brightly.
Uncle Sun lunged forward, and Sun Shan's scalp went numb. He was about to dodge backward.
It was just that the sky was a little dark, which affected his speed, or maybe Uncle Sun was too fast, and with one pounce, he caught Sun Shan in his arms.
He hugged Sun Shan tightly and shouted excitedly: "Shanzi, Uncle San's Shanzi is really back. Uncle San's Jinshi master is really back. Uncle San can finally have a Jinshi banquet."
Sun Shan was short and thin, a weakling.
Although Uncle Sun was not tall and strong, he was strong and powerful, and he hugged Sun Shan tightly.
Sun Shan couldn't breathe anymore, so he stretched out his eight-clawed hand and shouted, "Help~~Save me~~"
With weak cries, Gui Ge'er was so anxious that he scratched his ears and monkey cheeks, desperately pulling Uncle Sun, shouting: "Uncle Sun, let go of Brother Shan~"
