Chapter 987: Smart Peddler Sun
The village chief, Sun Bomin, stood on the stage.
After Sun Bomin stammered a few words, the village chief took control of the situation and spoke a lot of meaningless nonsense.
He originally wanted to invite Sun Shan to speak, but after being rejected, he spoke on Sun Shan's behalf himself.
After waiting for a long time, he finally finished speaking and the show officially began.
The people below have long had complaints about the village chief.
Villager A said: "The village chief is old, but he is still so talkative. It seems that he can still talk for decades."
Villager B echoed: "That's right, the Jinshi master didn't say anything, but the village chief can say more than the Jinshi master."
Villager C agreed: "If it weren't for the Jinshi master, I wouldn't want to be a villager of Sunjia Village."
As soon as these words were spoken, an elder of the tribe heard them and gave them two forehead buds.
Villager Ding gloated: "If there is a play, just watch it. If there is a fart, just go home and let it out. If you don't want to be a villager of Sunjia Village, do you want to be a villager of Zhengjia Village or Yangjia Village?"
Villager Wu, who was trying to smooth things over, quickly said, "Okay, stop talking and watch the show. It's rare that our Sunjia Village is the host today, so we don't have to go to other villages to watch. Hehe, it's rare for our village to have such a prestigious show."
This is true. If Sunjia Village had not produced a Jinshi, there would be no chance to go out and watch a play.
It was said that the troupe on the stage was number one in Huangyang County, but Sun Shan listened and still could not appreciate it.
So he "escaped under the pretext of peeing" and it was torture to continue listening.
When I came out, I saw Sister Yun holding the little fat girl and listening with great interest.
The little fat girl in his arms, like Sister Yun, seemed to be listening with great interest.
Oh, what a local.
Sun Shan had not walked a few steps when he saw Sun the peddler and his little Sun the peddler selling snacks. Upon closer inspection, they saw melon seeds, peanuts, candies, and many toys for little kids.
Sun the peddler had a very clever mind and he spotted the business opportunity very quickly.
Sun Shan looked at the growing crowd and couldn't help but think of selling fried noodles, grilled sausages, and grilled skewers here. Maybe he could make a lot of money.
Especially for little kids, they have money in their pockets, and you might be able to take all their money.
Sun the peddler was happy selling his goods. When he turned around, he saw Sun Shan staring at him. He was startled.
I heard that scholars hate businessmen the most. Will I offend Jinshi Sun if I sell goods in his home market?
Although this is also his territory, compared with Mr. Sun, he is nothing.
Just when he was at a loss, Sun Jinshi came over, glanced at his cargo box, and then said, "Uncle, you are really smart. Sell well and make more money."
After a pause, he smiled and said, "Uncle, I heard that your son is good at studying. Study hard."
In fact, Sun Shan had never heard that the boy from Sun the peddler's family was good at studying.
However, when doing things as a person, there is no harm in saying a few nice words or a few words of encouragement. At most, it is just a waste of saliva.
Sun Shan smiled, bowed, and left.
Sun the peddler stared blankly at Sun Shan's thin back. Was he dreaming?
Mr. Sun praised him for his intelligence and his son's good study, and encouraged his son to study hard.
Oh, could it be that my kid is as smart as me and was favored by Mr. Sun?
Could it be possible that my son could pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi for Sunjia Village like Mr. Sun?
Sun the peddler was daydreaming and felt elated until someone came to buy goods.
Yes, Mr. Sun must have just said that his son has a promising future.
Yes, that must be the case!
Sun Shan returned to the Sun family's old house. All the family members were watching a play in the ancestral hall. Huang was also there. The whole house was empty and quiet.
Lian Guige also went to watch the show. It was agreed that Shange would not leave him for twelve hours, but he ended up leaving Shange to watch the fun.
Sun Shan had nothing to do and didn't like going to the theatre, so he went to his study to practice calligraphy.
Although my calligraphy has remained at the same level, maybe one day I can make a qualitative breakthrough and become a great calligrapher?
Sun Shan slowly ground the ink and slowly wrote. He used to practice calligraphy by copying, but now he didn't need to do that anymore. He could write whatever he wanted.
But it was still the same after writing over and over again. Looking at his own words, each stroke of which was trembling slightly, Sun Shan couldn't help feeling depressed.
Fortunately, I have already landed, so practicing calligraphy is just a hobby.
I don't know how long I practiced, but suddenly I heard a burst of laughter and noise outside.
When Sun Shan looked up, he saw that his sisters, brothers-in-law and nephews had all made an appointment to go back to her parents' home together.
My second brother-in-law Zheng Hongyuan quickly said, "Ashan, did I disturb you from practicing calligraphy?"
It is unexpected that on New Year's Day, while others were watching the fun, Sun Shan was practicing calligraphy.
Look, this is the difference. This is why Sun Shan was able to read well and pass the imperial examinations.
This kind of perseverance is hard for ordinary people to match.
Not only the second brother-in-law thought so, but several brothers-in-law thought so too. Compared with the kids at home, even Xiatou didn't have the endurance of Sun Shan.
Sun Shan put down his brush and ink, shook his head and said, "Sister, brother-in-law, you are here."
Guyu glanced at the playful children in a reproachful manner. His younger brother had always been diligent. He was like this when he was a child and he remained like this even after he passed the imperial examinations.
Guyu was used to it and quickly said, "Shanzi, you continue to practice and ignore us."
Since he was young, my younger brother has planned when to study and when to practice calligraphy, and he will not stop until the time comes. No matter how noisy it is outside, it will not stop him from completing his plan.
Guyu drove everyone out without saying a word and asked Sun Shan to practice for enough time before coming out.
Sun Shan: ...
It’s not right to practice, and it’s not right not to practice. After thinking about it, I finally decided to practice.
Because you have only practiced halfway, and you cannot give up halfway.
Although there are no restrictions now, there is no need to practice calligraphy.
But when doing things, we must not forget our original intentions and stick to our principles.
So Sun Shan picked up his pen and ink and began to practice calligraphy.
I looked down and then up again, and when I walked out of the yard, I saw a lot of people gathered there.
Sister Yun and Little Fatty are back too.
Hu Ming and Xia Tou came over, and Hu Ming said guiltily: "Foster father, I will learn from you in the future. I can't play around even during the New Year. I must practice calligraphy every day."
Xiatou said seriously: "Uncle, I also want to learn from you. The teacher said that you never take holidays during festivals and insist on studying. At first I thought the teacher was bragging, but it turns out that what the teacher said is true. It is my fault. In the future, I will learn from you, insist on studying, insist on practicing calligraphy, even during the New Year."
Sun Shan looked at Xia Tou with sympathy. He must have been the one who used his example to inspire his students from time to time.
Gradually, Sun Shan was shaped into a "god".
It seems that if Xiatou plays too much in the future, he will feel guilty.
Sun Shan shook his head and said, "Good boy, play when you should play and study when you should study. Don't try to imitate me. Everyone has a different way of studying. You should do it according to your own situation."
Hu Ming and Xia Tou looked at Sun Shan in confusion.
Sun Shan did not explain, thinking that he would ask the teacher to make plans for the two little kids based on their situations.
Adhere to the principle of "teaching students in accordance with their aptitude"!
