Chapter 934: Jinshi Banquet (4)
The first day of the Jinshi Banquet ended smoothly, and Sun Shan's face was stiff from smiling.
I stand all day long, and the only time I can sit down and stretch my legs is when I chat with acquaintances.
Well, to be honest, if Sun Shan could make the decision himself, he would definitely not hold a banquet.
Just have your closest people over for a quick meal.
Unfortunately, several huge mountains weighed on Sun Shan's shoulders, and he had no choice but to obey.
Sister Yun looked at Sun Shan with concern and said gently, "Brother Shan, I'll get some hot water for you to soak your feet. You must be exhausted after the day."
Sun Shan nodded and said, "It is indeed very tiring. Fortunately, banquets are not held often. If we had to do it every day, it would be difficult to handle."
Sister Yun chuckled and said cheerfully, "Brother Shan, you wish for it. Even if you want to hold it every day, there aren't that many things for you to do."
Sun Shan also laughed when he heard this.
Asked: "Is Xiaoxiao obedient today? Are you scared?"
Sister Yun looked out the window and saw that the little fat girl was still with her mother-in-law.
I don’t know why today, but my fat daughter is particularly attached to her mother-in-law. Except when she is breastfeeding, she doesn’t want to be held by herself.
Shaking her head, she said, "Your daughter was very well behaved today. She didn't cry or make a fuss while being held by her mother. Her eyes were rolling around. I think Xiaoxiao has never seen such a scene before and is very curious."
Sun Shan said proudly, "It's my daughter. She's like me. She stays calm and composed in big situations, and is not surprised by honor or disgrace. Haha, our Xiaoxiao will definitely have a bright future."
Sister Yun shook her head and said, "It doesn't matter whether you get enough or not, as long as you smile and live in peace."
Yun Jie'er was right, and Sun Shan thought so too.
Then he asked, "How is the situation over there today? Is everyone getting along well?"
They should get along well, and Sun Shan didn't hear anything unusual.
Sister Yun nodded and said, "Grandma and mother are so happy today. Everyone gathered around them and chatted with them. Grandma and mother never stopped smiling."
Sun Shan guessed that everyone must be praising the Huang and Su families, and giving them compliments without asking for any money.
With such a glorious moment, Huang and Su must be very happy.
Sun Shan held Yun Jie'er's plump little hand and said softly, "Yun Jie'er, you've worked hard today. There are still six days left. Just be patient and it will pass quickly."
Sister Yun shook her head and said, "Brother Shan, it's not hard. I'm very happy that you can go to high school."
Shan Ge passed the imperial examination at a young age and became a promising young talent. Many people envied him for marrying a good husband.
Yun Jie'er also thinks so. Being able to marry Shan Ge is the greatest blessing in her life.
Sun Shan soaked his feet in hot water, and Yun Jie'er served him attentively. She was really a virtuous and good girl.
Sun Shan shook his head and said, "Sister Yun, do you want to join us? You are tired today too."
Sister Yun said cheerfully, "Brother Shan, I'm not tired."
After a pause, he continued, "Brother Shan, I'm telling you the truth. Today is a rare relaxing day. My daughter has been very obedient today. As long as she doesn't cry, I won't suffer or feel tired no matter how hard or tired I am."
Sun Shan laughed when he heard this: "Sister Yun is right. Our daughter is too difficult to deal with. As long as she can be at peace, life will be much easier. Oh, I hope Xiaoxiao grows up quickly and becomes obedient when she is sensible."
Sun Shan couldn't stand the fat girl just a few days after he came back. It was too hard for Yun Jie'er to face her every day.
When Sun Shan saw Yun Jie'er wearing the pearl bracelet he bought from the capital, he realized that he had good taste.
The plump pearls look very nice on the chubby little hands.
He smiled and said, "Sister Yun, let's go to Guangzhou in a few days. I will take you shopping for clothes and jewelry, and also take you to eat delicious food."
When Yun Jieer heard this, her eyes lit up and she said happily, "Brother Shan, you don't need to buy clothes and jewelry. I still have a lot. This time you bought me a pearl bracelet from the capital, so I don't need to buy jewelry anymore.
"After a pause, she blushed and said, "Brother Shan, take me to eat something delicious. I miss the dim sum in Hejiacun. I haven't eaten it for a long time."
She smacked her lips as she said this, like a real greedy girl.
Sun Shan looked at Yun Jie'er, who was much thinner than before, and agreed, "Okay, when we land in Guangzhou, we'll go eat something delicious. I'll take you to whatever you want to eat. I haven't had the dim sum from Hejiacun for a long time, and I've been missing it while I was away."
Yun Jie'er nodded rapidly, looking at Sun Shan with sparkling eyes, wishing she could fly to Hejia Village immediately and eat a lot.
Life in Sunjia Village is not hard at all. You can make a lot of delicious food yourself.
But ever since her daughter was born, Sister Yun has no time or energy to eat.
A fat girl is really a good tool for losing weight. Taking care of her for a month is easier than doing hard labor.
This kind of life is really hard. Fortunately, Brother Shan is back and I can get a short rest.
Sun Shan and Yun Jie'er finished chatting and eating here, while Su on the other side was hugging the little boy with round eyes and smiling.
He said to Sun Bomin proudly, "Boss, it's so lively today. Many important people have come. I've never seen many of them before. I didn't expect so many people to come to the banquet."
Sun Boming was calculating how much food he had used today and how much he would need tomorrow. Of course, he was just calculating.
The banquet was managed by the village chief and assistant Sun Dingnan and his gang, who were the best accountants in the village.
Sun Bomin was calculating enthusiastically, but when Su asked him, he forgot about it again.
He nodded and said, "It is indeed very lively today. Almost all the officials from the government office are here. Our Shanzi is really amazing. He can get so many important people to come to the wedding banquet."
The corners of Su's mouth turned up even more. Today, a group of women surrounded her and said many words as sweet as honey. Thinking back on them now, they were still sweet.
He looked at his fat granddaughter who had not yet gone to bed, and touched the big, shiny gold bracelet.
Curiously, he asked, "Boss, they all said that this big gold bracelet of mine is worth hundreds of taels, but I don't know if it's true? Shanzi won't tell me the price either."
Sun Shan came back from the capital and bought a lot of jewelry.
Yun Jie'er's was a pearl bracelet, Huang's was a jade bracelet, the girls' were gold bracelets, and Second Aunt Sun and Third Aunt Sun's were gold bracelets.
Mine is a one-of-a-kind large gold bracelet inlaid with gemstones.
Su felt sorry for Sun Shan's wasteful spending, but she was happy in her heart.
Sun Bomin looked at Su's big gold bracelet and said with certainty: "This big gold bracelet is definitely not worth 100 taels. I think it is only about taels. Things in the capital are exquisitely made and look worth a lot of money. Even if Shanzi is rich, he can't buy a bracelet worth hundreds of taels. Our lives are much better now than before, so we can't be extravagant and wasteful."
I was thinking that after the banquet, I would talk to Shanzi about not allowing the "poor to get rich overnight" behavior.
They are rural people, so they must insist on being thrifty.
When writing about Su's big gold bracelet, I think of this expression
