Chapter 958: Looking at Sun Shan through the Tiger Roar Filter

Sun Shan practiced calligraphy, practicing round and round, but the cowboys had not finished their homework yet.

Sun Shan was also convinced. He couldn’t even finish such a simple homework. Fortunately, it wasn’t his child.

If it was his own, he would have been served with stewed pork on a rattan stick.

Sun Shan waved his hand and asked Hu Ming and Xia Tou to give instructions. Soon the cowboys were ready.

Sun Shan looked at the homework he handed in, his brows furrowed and the corners of his mouth twitched.

I thought my handwriting was not good-looking, but I didn’t expect that my handwriting was so beautiful in front of the cowboys.

The Cowboys and their few poor students were also very scared. They trembled and huddled together, cowering.

Uncle Shan's expression was cold and his eyes were raised high, as if he was as scary as a mountain.

Oh, if I had known earlier, I would not have come to the provincial capital. I would rather be scolded by the teacher in the school.

Sun Shan endured it, and tried to persuade himself that they were still young, so it was not surprising that they wrote like this. He could teach them slowly in the future, and maybe they would become successful later in life.

He exhaled deeply, inhaled deeply, and said with what he thought was a smile: "Okay, go and have fun."

As soon as he finished speaking, the cowboys scattered like birds and beasts.

Sun Shan: ...

I really regret letting him go so early. I should have given him a meal before letting him in.

In the afternoon, Ming Ge brought Dou Zai over and asked Sun Shan to help with his schoolwork.

Last time, Sun Shan said that Douzai’s qualifications were average, and he had a chance of passing the examination to become a scholar, but it was not high.

But everything depends on human efforts. If you work hard, you may be able to reach the passing line.

I also heard from my father that my uncle was going to build a house, and when it was completed, he would let the second branch move into the old house.

Perhaps with the protection of the old house, someone with great achievements will emerge in the family.

With his own efforts and the blessing and protection of the gods and Doctor Sun, Douzai might be as lucky as Sun Shan and cross the line.

So Ming Ge'er asked Douzai to go to school during the day and come to Sunshan for tutoring after school.

We must cherish the opportunity while Mr. Jinshi is free. If we miss it, we will miss it forever.

Uncle Sun and Brother Ming believed that the Jinshi master was several levels higher than the teachers in the school and could impart better knowledge to Douzi.

Since he was free anyway, Sun Shan also hoped that his nephews and nieces would have something promising.

No matter whether Douzai can pass the imperial examination in the future, in his eyes, a good child is one who studies hard.

Ming Ge'er said with a smile: "Ashan, Douzi is a problem for you. If he doesn't do well, just scold him. I don't know much about studying, and you are the best in the family."

Sun Shan nodded and said, "Brother Ming, don't worry. I have watched Douzai grow up and he has always been a good student. I will definitely teach him everything I can. I also hope that Douzai will bring honor to our family and bring glory to the Sun family."

So Sun Shan gave Douzai some special treatment.

Douzai has average qualifications, average comprehension ability, and even his handwriting is average, but he is diligent.

Completely different from Xiaozai, Niu Niu and Xiao Guangzai, Douzai really loves reading.

Sun Shan first gave Douzai some questions to test his ability, and then provided him with guidance to connect his weakest points.

Douzai obviously didn't read enough books, so Sun Shan suggested: "Douzai, go to the bookstore to read whenever you have time. Of course, read books that can help you prepare for the imperial examination. I'll make a list for you later. You can read them one by one. Take your time. Don't rush."

After a pause, he added: "You are not allowed to read storybooks. Don't let playing with things ruin your ambition."

The boy is entering puberty, and Sun Shan is really afraid that he will read some messy books.

Douzi blushed and said, "Uncle Shan, I understand."

It is said that Sun Shan himself really does not like reading storybooks. His favorite books are those on agronomy, geography, and biographies.

Sun Shan had no choice but to tell Douzai about his successful experience. As for how much he could learn, it all depended on his luck.

After dinner, Yun Jie'er held Little Fatty in the room and watched Sun Shan and Hu Ming count the gifts.

Sun Shan smiled and said, "Hu Ming, these are gifts given to you by others. I will register them one by one and give them to your stepmother for safekeeping. When you grow up, your stepmother will return them to you."

Hu Ming shook his head and said, "Adoptive father, these were given to me by others. They naturally belong to you and your adoptive mother. You don't have to give them back to me. Keep them at home."

After hearing this, Yun Jieer was moved and said, "Good child, your stepmother knows your feelings. But we have a rule in the Sun family that whoever receives the gift belongs to him. It's just that you are still young, and if I give it to you, your stepmother is afraid that it will be lost, so I'm keeping it for you first. I'll give it back to you when you grow up."

Does the Sun family have such a rule? Definitely not.

But it didn't exist before, but it exists now.

Sun Shan agreed and said, "Your stepmother is right. A gift belongs to whoever it is given to. If someone gives it to you, it's yours. Similarly, if someone gives it to your sister, it's hers. But you two are still young, so you should keep them with your stepmother first. Register them one by one now, and you will know what gifts you received in the future."

Hu Ming still felt that his gift should be kept for his family. If he didn't have his adoptive father and mother, he wouldn't receive any gifts.

He shook his head and said, "Adoptive father, stepmother, these gifts were given to me because of you, so they should be yours. You should use them to supplement the family."

Sun Shan and Yun Jie'er looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

Sun Shan said with relief: "Good boy, your father knows your intentions. But the Sun family has rules. You are now a member of the Sun family and you must abide by them. Do you understand?"

Hu Ming didn't know what to say for a moment. He wanted to give the things to his family, but the Sun family had rules.

If I break the rules, will I be kicked out of the Sun family?

Seeing Hu Ming in a dilemma, Yun Jieer said gently, "Hu Ming, not only you, but also your sister has to abide by the rules. If you break the rules, your sister will break them too, and this is not okay. You are the older brother, you have to set an example, otherwise the younger sisters and brothers will not be disobedient."

Hu Ming said awkwardly: "Foster father, foster mother, I understand. I will abide by the rules of the Sun family."

Sun Shan patted Hu Ming's little head and nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, now register them one by one."

Sun Shan was talking and Hu Ming was writing.

Hu Ming raised his head and asked, "Godfather, do you want me to draw it? This way I can see more clearly what it is."

A written description cannot compare to a realistic drawing, and it will be much easier to check later.

Sun Shan said with appreciation: "Okay, Hu Ming's idea is very good. Then Hu Ming should also draw the gift, so that it will be easier to check in the future."

After getting Sun Shan's affirmation, Hu Ming's face was full of joy. He looked at the gift and drew it with just a few strokes.

When Sun Shan and Yun Jie'er took a look at it, they were impressed by how realistic the painting was.

You may not be able to guess what it is at first glance, but when combined with the text, you will definitely know what it is.

Could it be that this boy Hu Ming has a talent for painting?

Tsinghua and Peking University both like painting, and Hu Ming might have this gene.

Sister Yun said encouragingly, "Hu Ming's painting is really good."

Hu Ming's face turned red, and he said shyly, "Mom, my painting is just so-so."

After a pause, he continued, "I want to learn from my adoptive father. I must not only study hard, but also practice calligraphy and painting well."

Sun Shan was embarrassed. He couldn't write well and had never painted before. Hu Ming was looking at him through a very high filter.

Sun Shan thought to himself: Silly boy, you can learn from him in terms of reading, but don’t learn calligraphy and painting, lest you be led astray by him.
