Chapter 997 Before leaving
Chapter 997 Before Departure
On the evening of the 22nd day of the first lunar month, the Sun family residence was brightly lit.
Sun Shan will set off tomorrow, and Sun Boming, Su Shi, and Yun Jie'er are still busy.
The three of them didn't know what to take and what to leave out.
Especially Su, who took a pillow and put it into the sack, then pulled it out. After a while, he put it into the sack again and pulled it out again.
Seeing Sun Shan's mouth twitching.
After doing this for no less than ten times, Sun Shan could no longer bear it and shouted, "Mother, we don't need the pillow anymore. Pick it up."
Su immediately retorted: "Why not. This pillow is the one you slept on when you were a child. It's your favorite."
Sun Shan: .......
Sun Shan didn't believe that the pillow he slept on as a child was still so new.
Su quickly explained: "Just change the pillowcase. When you were a child, you liked to sleep on adult pillows. This pillow can still be used."
After a pause, he continued, "You are lucky to sleep on this pillow on your first long journey. You must take it with you, so that good luck will always follow you."
Speaking of luck, Su suddenly remembered something and asked hurriedly, "Sister Yun, have you asked for a lucky charm for Shanzi?"
Yun Jieer hurried out of the room and said quickly, "Mother, I prayed. I went to Guangxiao Temple and Polo Temple. My mother said that these two places are the most effective for praying for peace."
When did Sister Yun go to ask for the amulet? How come Sun Shan didn't know about it?
It's hard for her. She has to go to different sects to ask for talismans. It's really painstaking.
Su nodded and said, "Put it in a purse if you get it. I also have some from Sunjia Village. Put them together and let Shanzi wear it."
Sister Yun quickly agreed: "Mother, I understand."
Sun Boming is giving an "ideological lesson" to the men in Sunjia Village.
He said seriously, "I tell you, you must protect Shanzi's safety. He is the hope of our Sunjia Village. Whether we eat sweet potatoes or rice in the future depends on him. Do you understand?"
The younger brother below responded loudly: "Old man, we got it."
Sun Bomin nodded with satisfaction: "Many of you can't read a single word, and your brains are not very flexible. When you go there, talk less and do more. If you can keep silent, don't talk, so as not to be tricked into revealing secrets. Do you understand?"
The younger brother below responded loudly: "Old man, we got it."
Sun Bomin said with satisfaction: "Shanzi is the smartest man in our Sunjia Village, and he is rare to come across in a century. Just do whatever he tells you to do. If you don't understand, ask. If you still don't understand after asking, then do as Shanzi tells you to do. Do you understand?"
The younger brother below still answered loudly: "Old man, we know."
Sun Bomin continued to mutter, "You are unfamiliar with the place and it is easy to be cheated. Don't walk around, and don't go out to play. Don't go to gambling dens or other low-class places. If anyone goes there, the clan rules will be followed. Do you understand?"
The younger brother below immediately responded: "Old man, we won't go. We don't dare."
Whether you dare or not, we will know later. People’s hearts are fickle, maybe you can’t resist the temptation?
Sun Bomin was relieved about his son Shanzi. He was self-disciplined since childhood, knew how to weigh the pros and cons, was smart, and it would be difficult to deceive Shanzi.
But the men in Sunjia Village are different. Not only are they illiterate, they are also simple-minded and silly. They might be coaxed into "going into the sea" and betray Sun Shan and Sunjia Village.
They must always be reminded that their roots are in Sunjia Village, not outside.
Sun Bomin continued, "In short, you must abide by the rules. You follow Shanzi to take up the post to work, not to enjoy yourself. Don't be deceived by some petty gains, the loss will outweigh the gain. In short, you must be alert and don't be greedy. If you find something wrong, run away and come back to Shanzi. He is the most outstanding man in our Sunjia Village and your only support. If he is good, you will be good, and Sunjia Village will be good. In short, you must work hard, and my Shanzi will not treat you unfairly."
The younger brother below immediately replied: "Old man, we know."
After Sun Boming finished speaking, it was Uncle Sun's turn to speak.
Completely different from Sun Boming's serious lecture on principles, Uncle Sun spoke more bluntly.
With a cold face, he really looked like the Third Old Master and said, "Take a basin of water and look at yourself. When someone says something nice to you, ask yourself if it's worth it. If you don't have water, you can just pee and look at yourself.
Take a look at yourself, are you worthy of other people's sweet words? Humph, when an outsider says something nice to you, they must be looking for something good. Think about it, what is there about you that is worthy of others looking for something good? "
The big-headed dog shook his head and said, "Uncle Wen, there is nothing good to be found in us."
Uncle Sun slapped Big Head Dog on the head.
The big-headed dog covered his head and looked at Uncle Sun with grievance, not understanding what he had done wrong.
Uncle Sun snorted coldly, "What Uncle Wen? Call me Third Old Master. When you're out, it's not the same as when you're in Sunjia Village. I tell you, when you follow Shanzi to take up his post, you can't call him "Ashan" or "Shanzi," the names used in Sunjia Village. Shanzi is an official, and he must know the difference between respect and inferiority. Shanzi usually doesn't argue with you, but when you take up his post, outsiders will think you're unruly, and thus they'll think Shanzi is unruly."
Although Big Head Dog still felt aggrieved, after Uncle Sun said this, he felt that he really did not know how to respect the hierarchy just now.
He admitted his mistake and said, "Wen~~ Third Old Master, I know I was wrong."
Uncle Sun looked at the big-headed dog with appreciation.
He continued, "Back to the topic just now, there is only one thing about you that is worth looking for benefits from others, that is, you are Shanzi's followers, and you are Shanzi's close friends. People with ill intentions get close to you, and then get close to Shanzi, and then look for benefits.
Humph, if outsiders try to find benefits for Shanzi, think about it, can you still find benefits from Shanzi?
In order to keep the benefits, you must not let outsiders get close to you, let alone Sun Shan. Do you understand?"
The men were confused and didn't quite understand what was said. But in order to avoid being slapped on the head or scolded by Uncle Sun, they had to say, "Old Master San, we got it."
Anyway, I don't let others take advantage of Sun Shan, so that I won't be unable to take advantage of Sun Shan.
There are too many monks and too little porridge. The more outsiders there are, the better it is, and the less benefits there are for our people. We must never leave ourselves without any benefits.
Sun Shan was holding the golden crown, hugging the little fat girl, and listening to the twisted logic of Uncle Sun, with a frown on his face.
I’m afraid that the team will go astray if Uncle Sun continues to teach them like this.
The little fat girl had no idea of the sadness of parting. Her round eyes were wide open and her fat little hands were tightly holding the golden crown.
His eyes twinkled.
He turned his head and looked at Sun Shan, the owner of the golden crown. Then he looked at the golden crown again. Finally, his eyes stayed on the golden crown and could not move away.
