Chapter 985 Big Head Dog Goes Through the Back Door

Sun Shan never knew that Sunjia Village was so fast. They were still discussing who to invite on New Year’s Day, and the list was released on New Year’s Day evening.

Sun Bomin took the list and showed it to Sun Shan. If he didn't like any of them, he could replace them; if he liked them all, he could keep them.

When Sun Shan saw De Ge’er’s childhood sweetheart Big Head Dog on the list, he couldn’t help but laugh.

During the day, when De Ge'er was enjoying playing the erhu, he would lead the big-headed dog to go in through the back door.

De Ge'er asked the big-headed dog to stand straight, patted his small body and said, "Shanzi, look at the big-headed dog. Although he is not tall and mighty, he is quite strong."

He turned around and said, "Big-headed dog, turn around a few times and let Shanzi have a look."

The big-headed dog looked at De Ge'er, then timidly looked at Sun Shan, then turned around in circles, and kept turning around several times, trying to let Sun Shan see it clearly from 360 degrees.

Sun Shan felt dizzy from the big-headed dog spinning in circles and quickly shouted for it to stop.

Asked: "De Ge'er, why are you making the big-headed dog spin in circles?"

Actually, Big Head Dog's real name is Sun Dingxin, but everyone in the village just calls him Big Head Dog. So Sun Shan couldn't remember what Big Head Dog's name was, so he followed the villagers and called him that.

De Geer chuckled and pointed at the big-headed dog and said, "Shanzi, I heard that you are going to recruit a long-term attendant. Hehe, the big-headed dog also wants to be your long-term attendant and follow you into office."

Sun Shan had long guessed that De Ge'er came here to use the back door, but some things still need to be said by the person involved.

Sun Shan looked at the big-headed dog carefully. It was a fist taller than Sun Shan, thin and weak, and it was obvious that it was malnourished.

If I follow the interview rules, I will definitely be rejected.

It’s not Big Head Dog’s fault that his head looks like this. It’s because his family is poor. If he doesn’t have enough to eat, he won’t grow strong.

Among Sun Shan’s few childhood friends, Big Head Dog was one of them.

Considering our childhood friendship, it's not a bad idea to use the back door.

But let me put it bluntly: "Big-headed dog, you may not be able to go home for a few years if you follow me to take office this time. Do your family members agree with that?"

The big-headed dog said without hesitation: "Yes, everyone in the family is willing."

After a pause, he added, "I would like to do that, too."

Does Sun Shan's words mean that he has a chance of being selected?

Oh, I really want to be Master Sun's permanent attendant, with free food and lodging, and 10 taels a year. He can't have that much left even after earning for several years.

Besides, there is no future in farming in the village. It is different if you follow Sun Shan who is an official.

As the saying goes, a seventh-rank official is in front of the prime minister. Working beside the official, others will look up to him.

Sun Shan continued, "Following me on this long journey could be dangerous, and you might even die."

The big-headed dog immediately said, "I'm not afraid. Losing my life is my bad luck. I'm unlucky. I accept my fate."

Since Big Head Dog said so, what else could Sun Shan say?

It seems that the men in Sunjia Village are not afraid of death, nor are they afraid of being in an unfamiliar place. It seems that Sun Shan is the most afraid of death in the entire Sunjia Village.

Always feeling that "the evil people are trying to harm me", Sun Shan kept forcing himself to hire guards even if he had no money.

De Ge patted Da Tou Gou's small body and said confidently, "Don't worry, Shan Zi. The village chief and uncle have explained clearly the pros and cons of being your follower and following you to take office. Da Tou Gou and his family all know it. Hehe, if you are afraid of this or that, you don't have to do anything. Everyone thinks that working with you is not only profitable, but also has a future."

Sun Shan nodded and asked again: "Big Head Dog, are you sure?"

The big-headed dog looked at Sun Shan expectantly, and said with bright eyes, "Sure, absolutely sure."

So Big Head Dog became the first person to use the back door, and his name was on the list.

Sun Shan looked at the list. The men selected by the village chief and Sun Bomin were all young and strong. They were the strongest labor force in the village.

He asked, "Father, are there any capable workers in these families? If we take them away, there will be no one to do the work in the fields."

Sun Bomin smiled and said, "Shanzi, don't worry. These people were carefully selected by the village chief, the elders and me. They are the most suitable to follow you into office."

The village not only selects strong men, but also their family background and origin.

Because Sun Dingnan had already been selected, the village chief was not partial at all this time and selected him based on comprehensive factors such as ability and family.

For example, if a family is very strong, they can choose many people, but the village chief chooses only one.

Just like Sun Dali's family, there are several strong men in the family. Because Sun Dali has been selected as the village chief, the village chief will not choose someone from his family.

Aunt Li was so angry that she came to complain, saying that the village chief made blind selections without considering the ability.

Huang had no choice but to comfort Aunt Li from the overall situation of Sunjia Village, and also gave her a lot of delicious food to help Aunt Li calm down.

When selecting people, the village chief should try to strike a balance.

For example, in a family that is extremely poor, even if the man is weak, the village chief will still close his eyes and pick out the tallest man from the short ones.

So that this family can find a "iron rice bowl" and earn money to solve the problem of food and clothing.

So that the rich in Sunjia Village will not be too rich or the poor will not be too poor, and there will not be a situation where the rich live in luxury while the poor freeze to death on the streets.

The village chief's selfish desire is recognized by the clan members and Sun Boming, who also hope that every household in Sunjia Village will first have enough food to eat and then get rid of poverty and become rich.

Since Sun Bomin said so, Sun Shan nodded and said, "Father, let's follow this list. Tell them to come to our house tomorrow night. Some things need to be made clear again."

After Sun Bomin left, Su quietly approached Sun Shan and asked, "Shanzi, your followers can only be from Sunjia Village? Can Dagen and Ergen do it?"

Sun Dagen and Sun Ergen worked in the Sun family orchard and garden, and returned home to celebrate the Chinese New Year.

Grandpa Su had already received the news that Sun Shan was going to recruit people, and he immediately whispered to them so that Dagen and Ergen could take up the position together with Sun Shan.

Sun Shan shook his head and said, "Mother, Dagen and Ergen are not good enough. They are not strong. They are followers in name only, but they are guards in reality. Mother, if we encounter thieves, I am afraid Dagen and Ergen will not be able to protect me."

Sun Shan was telling the truth. The members of the Su family were short, thin and dark, and both men and women were small.

The Su family is a typical representative of the Su family.

When Sun Shan said this, Su recalled the figures of Da Gen and Er Gen.

Oh, they are indeed too short. If they encounter danger, I don’t know whether they will protect Shanzi or Shanzi will protect them.

Yes, we must not let them be Shanzi's guards, lest they become a burden to Shanzi.

Everything the Su family does is centered around "Sun Shan". They will do anything no matter how difficult it is to benefit Shanzi, and will put aside anything that is not beneficial to Sun Shan, even if it is Sun Boming, let alone his nephew.

Su agreed and said, "Shanzi, I understand. If your grandparents ask, I know what to say."

What else can I say? Tell the truth.

Anyway, Su thought that she was the official's old lady now, and no one was more noble than her in Huangyang County. She was the only one who offended people, and no one dared to offend her.

So what if I reject Grandpa Su and Grandma Su? They are the ones asking me for help anyway, so why would I ask them for help?

Su held her head high and said to Sun Shan, "It's late, time to go to bed," then returned to her bedroom in a heroic and high-spirited manner.
