Chapter 943: So as not to deceive Shanzi
Three days later, the "grand ceremony" of Sun Shan and Hu Ming's recognition of each other officially began.
Sun Shan invited the village chiefs of Sunjia Village and Yangjia Village, prestigious elders, and relatives of both sides to the banquet.
Sister Yun was dressing up Hu Ming in the room. She saw the little Hu Ming wearing a smoky blue gown.
The mini version of the scholar is fair-skinned, well-mannered, very cute and charming.
Sister Yun smiled and said, "Brother Shan, does Hu Ming look good in this outfit?"
A beautifully polished jade pendant was hung around Hu Ming's waist.
Sun Shan nodded: "Yes, Hu Ming is good-looking to begin with, and after your dressing, he becomes even more beautiful."
Hu Ming stood there motionless, afraid that if he moved he would mess up the outfit he had worked so hard to dress up.
Seeing that Sun Shan was wearing the same color gown as him, he said happily, "Foster father, my clothes are the same color as yours."
After a pause, he continued, "My stepmother worked late into the night to make them."
Sun Shan stroked Hu Ming's hair and said cheerfully, "Did you thank your stepmother?"
Hu Ming's face turned red, and he said embarrassedly: "Godfather, I forgot."
Then he bowed solemnly to Sister Yun: "Mother, thank you for your hard work."
Yun Jie'er is a new mother, and she loves a "devil" child like Xiao Feimei very much, not to mention the well-behaved Hu Ming.
Unable to help but kiss Hu Ming, she said gently: "Good boy, this is what your stepmother should do. In a few days, your stepmother will make you new clothes. There are a lot of fabrics at home. You can choose the color you like and your stepmother will make it for you."
Hu Ming shook his head and said, "Stepmother, I have clothes to wear, you don't have to make them for me."
After a pause, he continued, "Keep the fabric and make it for my sister in the future."
Hu Ming is Sun Shan’s adopted son, and Xiao Xiao is naturally Hu Ming’s sister.
From now on we will be a loving family.
Sister Yun said with a smile: "Silly child, I am a girl and cannot wear clothes of boy's colors. Don't worry, whatever you have, I also have, so you don't have to think about her for everything."
Ever since Sun Shan and Hu Ming became relatives, Hu Ming has become much more cheerful and dares to make requests.
Sun Shan hopes that Hu Ming will not have any psychological burden and that he can live a good life in the Sun family.
Sun Shan said to Sister Yun, "Sister Yun, help Hu Ming put on new shoes, and take him out to greet the guests later."
Sister Yun agreed: "Brother Shan, I understand."
Sun Shan walked out of the room and was about to go to the main door.
Uncle Sun pulled and Sun Shan staggered, and the two appeared in a hidden corner of the yard.
Sun Shan straightened his clothes. Uncle Sun was so strong that his clothes were almost torn.
He frowned and asked, "Uncle San, what's the matter?"
If you want to talk about something, just get to the point. Why do you have to go to such a remote corner?
They were acting so sneaky that if outsiders saw them, they would think that the uncle and nephew were doing something shady.
Uncle Sun looked around and made sure there was no one around.
He asked anxiously, "Shanzi, do you really want to accept Huming as your godson? Have you thought it through? It's not too late to regret now before the guests arrive."
Uncle Sun really wanted to lift up Sun Shan’s skull and see what was inside.
Helping the son of an old friend is helping the son of an ancient person, so why is there a need for formal recognition of relationship?
It’s fine if it’s just a formal recognition of relationship, but why is there a grand banquet going on?
Holding a banquet is tantamount to announcing to the world that one has reached a dead end and there will be no chance to regret in the future.
Is Shanzi going to be a "holy father"? Is he going to be a goody-goody?
If you want to cultivate talents, just cultivate his cowboys. If you think cowboys are stupid, just cultivate veils.
How to raise a foreign child?
Sun Shan said that he had not seen any talented kids in Sunjia Village yet, but we could wait and see, maybe there would be one in the future.
It would be better to save the money for training Hu Ming and wait for a talented boy to appear in Sunjia Village.
The same thing happened to my mother. She actually didn't object to adopting Hu Ming. She had so many great-grandchildren of her own, why would she need an adopted great-grandchild?
Oh, my mother is really old and confused.
The same goes for my eldest brother. Indeed, Shanzi has no son now, which means he has no grandson.
But no matter how you look at it, Cowboy and Gaitou are more closely related than Huming. If you want a grandson, just take Cowboy and Gaitou away.
If you don't like it, my second brother's Douzai and Wutou are also good. We should give it to our family members and not to outsiders.
What surprised Uncle Sun the most was that his sister-in-law had no objection.
Tsk tsk, this is really rare. My sister-in-law is so quiet, right? Is there some conspiracy?
Uncle Sun thought about it for three days and three nights, racking his brains, but he couldn't think of anything worth remembering about Hu Ming.
Sun Shan looked at Uncle Sun San in silence on the night he decided to adopt Hu Ming as his adopted son.
Uncle Sun took advantage of the moonlight to run to the old house, pulled him out, and strongly opposed the adoption of Hu Ming.
Because he was too sleepy, Sun Shan didn't want to explain too much, so he sent Uncle Sun away with the excuse that "there is no talented kid in Sunjia Village, only Hu Ming has talent."
Little did he know that Uncle Sun still wasn't giving up and dragged him out again today.
Sun Shan shook his head and said, "Uncle San, a man should not go back on his word. Since I have decided to adopt Hu Ming, I will definitely not regret it."
Uncle Sun looked at Sun Shan with a look of disappointment and said in reproach, "Shan, you are so foolish. Do you think raising a child is easy? Everything costs money, including food, drink, defecation, urination and sleep. And judging from your appearance, you have to pay for education, which will cost even more.
In the future, maybe I will have to help Hu Ming get married and have children. So, all the money will flow away like water.
Shanzi, Uncle San is not saying anything to you, but you will end up losing more than you gain by doing this.
What's even worse is that Hu Ming's last name is Yang, not yours. You are raising a child for the Yang family for nothing.
After all the hard work of raising Hu Ming, he still has to go back to Yang Village. What's the point of raising him like this? What's the point? You've lost both your money and your life, Shanzi."
Uncle Sun covered his chest and said with great sorrow: "Shanzi, you are confused."
The more he spoke, the angrier he became. He wanted to beat Sun Shan up to wake him up.
Although Shanzi was known as the smartest man in Zhangzhou Prefecture, he was too young, had little experience, and did not know how to calculate, so doing business like this would result in huge losses.
If someone else said this, Sun Shan would definitely say with a cold face: It’s none of your business!
He was just his third uncle, a family member, yet Sun Shan still cheated him out of a lot of money.
As the saying goes, one who eats the food of another is soft-hearted, and one who receives the gift of another is obliged to return the favor. In order to continue to defraud money in the future, Sun Shan had to explain patiently.
Sun Shan said nonsense in a serious tone: "Uncle San, hey, now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to tell the truth."
He rolled his eyes around, looked around, and after making sure there was no one around, he said mysteriously, "Uncle San, I'm only telling you what I'm going to say. My father, mother, and wife don't know about it, so you must not tell anyone."
Uncle Sun looked at Sun Shan suspiciously.
The sentence "I'm just telling you" sounds so familiar, Shanzi seems to say it often.
Uncle Sun's eyes widened, and he asked with caution and curiosity: "Shanzi, what did you say? Tell me quickly. Don't worry, I won't tell my elder brother and his wife."
No matter what Shanzi says, when you hear it, you must remain alert to avoid being fooled by Shanzi.
