Chapter 979 Going home for the New Year
Sun Shan’s goal was to find two advisors, but now he has only completed half of the task, and the other half is yet to be completed.
Before running away, he asked his father-in-law to help find it.
Anyway, it would be a shame if you didn't use the manpower.
As the Chinese New Year was approaching, He Shuqiang and He Shutong also had their day off, and so they stayed at Sun's house the entire day.
Da Pangpang was unwilling, but he couldn't go home, so he had to come and live with his brother-in-law.
Brother Tong came to the Sun family in high spirits, especially since there were a lot of papers at Sun Shan's house. He had to finish one paper every two days. After finishing, his brother-in-law, a Jinshi, would help him to annotate them. The more he did, the more annotations he would get. For a student who loved learning, this was such a happy thing.
Big Fatty rolled his eyes and asked helplessly, "Little brother, aren't you tired of doing the test papers every day?"
Sun Shan gave them lectures in the morning and had them do papers in the afternoon. The evening was their rare free time.
He Shutong shook his head and said, "No problem. I will definitely do more papers while my brother-in-law is here."
My brother-in-law is a Jinshi after all. Even if he was the last one, he had fought his way through thousands of people. It would be a waste of his talent for him to be a student.
If it weren't for his eldest sister marrying a good husband, he wouldn't have such resources.
Big Fatty rolled his eyes again and said, "Little brother, I did so many papers, but I still failed the college entrance examination. It's like doing nothing."
Sun Shan had given Da Pang Pang many papers to do before, but he failed again and again. Da Pang Pang felt that doing papers was a dead end.
As for which road to take, Big Fatty didn't know either.
Hey, how come I still can’t pass the exam to become a scholar after taking the exam so many times?
If I pass the exam and become a scholar, I will be liberated.
Big Fatty has quietly decided to take the exam to become a scholar and doesn't want to make any further progress.
Forget about all the Juren and Jinshi, as long as Brother Shan passes the exam, that's enough.
Shan Ge's passing the exam is equivalent to his passing the exam.
Tong glanced at his elder brother and said helplessly, "Brother, before my brother-in-law was not around, you only did the papers, and no one explained them to you in a simple and easy-to-understand way, so it was of course a waste of time. Now it's different, as long as we do the papers, my brother-in-law can explain them to us, and our understanding is deeper."
In fact, Da Pang Pang could still find someone to interpret the test, but Da Pang Pang is a lazy person and ignores everything else after finishing the test paper.
I was also afraid that I would be scolded if I asked someone to interpret my work, so I just kept giving up and wasted all my hard work.
He Shuqiang wanted to say something when Sun Shan walked in.
Big Fatty sat on a chair with his hands raised high behind his back, as if he was stretching.
Sun Shan got angry when he saw this and glared at him.
Fatty felt Sun Shan's venomous gaze and immediately sat up straight, motionless, staring at the paper, pretending to be thinking.
Sun Shan did not expose him. He turned around and said to He Shutong in a gentle and pleasant manner, "Brother Tong, have you finished the test paper?"
He Shutong nodded and said, "Brother-in-law, I'm done."
I was about to hand in the paper just now, but my brother stopped me and started chatting with me about some discouraging things.
He Shutong planned to tell his parents in the evening that his elder brother was not concentrating on doing the test paper.
Not only was she not paying attention, she also harassed him from time to time.
Unable to tolerate it any longer, He Shutong decided to file a complaint.
Sun Shan said with a big smile: "Good boy, just finish it. Leave it to me."
After collecting the papers, Sun Shan handed out the papers from the day before and said, "I have already graded your paper. There are comments inside. Please take a look at it first. If you have any understanding, rewrite it and give it to me."
He Shutong nodded repeatedly: "Brother-in-law, I understand."
Sun Shan walked up to Big Fatty and asked coldly, "Brother Qiang, where is your paper?"
Big Fatty stammered, "Brother Shan, I, I still have one question on the meaning of the scriptures that I haven't finished yet. I, I'll do it now."
Sun Shan snorted coldly and gave the paper he had done earlier to Fatty.
He said coldly: "This is your paper. I have also made comments on it. Write the paper again for me based on my approval and your thoughts."
Big Fatty took the paper timidly and said guiltily, "Brother Shan, I know."
Sun Shan continued, "Since you haven't finished the test paper yet, keep working on it. You can't eat until you finish it."
He is a fat man, so it is no problem for him to skip one or two meals.
No, it’s okay even if I go hungry for three days.
The body fat can definitely support it.
When Sun Shan saw Da Pang Pang’s fat appearance, he thought that if they encountered an accident, Da Pang Pang would definitely have a better chance of survival than himself.
The fatter a person is, the longer he can last.
Just like surgery, fat people tend to have a higher success rate.
Sun Shan quickly shook his head, telling him not to let his imagination run wild, and took Tongge'er out to eat.
Today, Sister Yun bought roast goose with lychees again. Hehe, I’m in for a treat.
He Shuqiang watched Sun Shan and his younger brother leave, and he kept watching until their backs disappeared.
At first, Fatty thought Sun Shan was the light and the savior.
The reality is black heart cotton.
Big Fatty regretted letting Sun Shan lead him out of the palace school.
He would rather stay in the palace school all day than stay in the Sun family.
In Gongxue, we have classes during the day and are free to move around when we don’t have classes. After dinner, we can sleep if we want to, and chat with classmates if we don’t want to.
When I came to Sun's house, I taught in the morning, did papers in the afternoon, and occasionally worked overtime to do papers in the evening.
Among the twelve hours of a day, only the time of sleep is the most relaxing.
Big Fatty had protested once, but Sun Shan didn't have to do anything because his father and mother didn't listen to any explanation and just started beating him with sticks.
Especially A'niang, who came from a prominent family and considered herself gentle and virtuous, kind and gentle, graceful and well-mannered, and she supported her husband and raised her children, and respected the elderly and the virtuous.
She also said that she was a lady from a noble family, capable of both being a lady in the living room and in the kitchen.
But when she hit someone, how could she be a lady? How could she be a good mother?
Fatty was so frightened at the sight of the seductive, cruel and ruthless A Niang that he trembled and dared not say a word.
My father is the same. He claims to be gentle, polite, graceful and a modest gentleman, but when he beats people, he looks so ferocious. How is he any different from my mother?
Big Fatty was beaten from the back by his mother and from the front by his father. The two of them also played with nunchakus and beat him so hard that his whole body was in pain and he was afraid to go home.
The more Fatty thought about it, the redder his eyes became, and tears streamed down his face.
While doing the test paper, he was counting the days, counting when Sun Shan would take up the post.
At this moment, Fatty wished that Sun Shan would go to Yuanlu County tomorrow so that he wouldn't have to tutor him anymore.
As Fatty was counting the days, Sun Boming and Second Uncle Sun brought down a batch of New Year flowers and fruits.
As they were counting, Sun Shan took Yun Jie'er and little Fatty home to celebrate the New Year.
At this time, Big Fatty couldn't bear to leave and said anxiously, "Brother Shan, are you going back? It's still early before the New Year, why don't you stay a few more days?"
Although he didn't like Shan Ge forcing him to do papers every day, Da Pang Pang was reluctant to let Shan Ge go home.
Big Fatty knew that once Sun Shan went back, he would have to take up his new post when he came back.
I want to meet Sun Shan but I don’t know when I will have to wait.
Sun Shan turned around, ignored He Pangpang's pestering, and hurriedly got into the car.
Waving your sleeves will not take away a single cloud.
