Chapter 1169: Letter from the Sun Family (3)
What is different from the letter written by He Shuqiang, a poor student, is the letter written by Hu Ming.
Sun Shan picked it up with a smile and said to Gui Ge'er, "Look at Hu Ming's letter and his handwriting. At such a young age, his handwriting has a good brushstroke. Not bad, not bad."
Although Hu Ming's handwriting seems childish, it looks very stylish. It was worth buying so many copybooks for Hu Ming to copy.
Of course, there is also Sister Yun’s teaching.
It is said that everyone in the He family can write beautifully.
Not to mention the top student Jiujin, even the poor student Dapangpang has very good handwriting.
Sun Shan thought of the little fat girl again and said to Gui Ge'er, "I hope Xiaoxiao's handwriting can be as beautiful as her uncle's."
Gui Ge'er shook his head and said, "Brother Shan, your handwriting is pretty good. Xiaoxiao doesn't need to be like uncle, just like you. Look at Huming, after your careful teaching, his handwriting is so good. In the future, our Xiaoxiao will definitely be able to write well."
He rolled his eyes, smiled thoughtfully and said, "Brother Shan, when you have time, you should teach little black girl how to write, haha."
Sun Shan was amused, shook his head and said, "Little Blackie naturally needs you as her father to teach her."
Then he continued, "By the way, you should practice your handwriting well, and learn Yuanlu dialect well. Look at Uncle Dali, Heitan, and Caogen. They went to Chenzhou Prefecture and their local dialect improved a lot. But you are worse than Brother Nan. This is not acceptable."
In order to create an atmosphere for learning the language, Sun Shan actually hired two locals to work in the "Rice Experimental Field Base".
These two people were introduced by Nanny Wang, because Nanny Wang had the most extensive interpersonal connections in the entire yamen backyard.
Walking on the street, the people of Yuanlu may not know Sun Shan, but they will definitely know the magistrate’s cook.
As soon as Nanny Wang announced that she was recruiting workers, applicants lined up from one end of the street to the other. After going through numerous tests, only two workers were selected.
Sun Dingnan often went to the experimental field and communicated more with the two locals, and his Yuanlu dialect improved a lot.
Gui Ge'er, on the other hand, followed Sun Shan all day and had little chance to talk to the locals, so he became the last one.
When Sun Shan said this, Gui Ge'er got anxious and said nervously, "Brother Shan, I, I have studied very hard."
Then he rolled his eyes and asked in a low voice tentatively: "Brother Shan, how about you speak Yuanlu dialect to me in the future, haha, this way I will make faster progress."
This is a good idea. Sun Shan nodded in agreement: "Okay, we will speak Yuanlu dialect from now on. You should not only speak it to me, but also to Nanny Wang often."
Gui Ge'er breathed a sigh of relief and nodded hastily: "Okay, Brother Shan. I will speak the local dialect to everyone from now on."
Sun Shan opened the thick letter from Hu Ming, which described his situation in the school and in Sunjia Village.
Especially when it comes to studying, Hu Ming is very serious.
The letter said that he would study with self-discipline like Sun Shan.
Hu Ming also said that he specifically consulted his grandmother Su and asked Sun Shan how he usually studied.
Then copy and paste Sun Shan's reading method. Get up early to read in the morning, then exercise, then practice calligraphy, and finally eat breakfast and go back to school. Practice calligraphy even more diligently after school.
Hu Ming also said that after completing a day's study tasks, he would help his great-grandmother Huang, his grandmother Su, and his stepmother Yun with work, and take care of his younger sister Xiaoxiao.
During the busy farming season, he would go to the fields, and when the fruits were ripe and the New Year flowers were ready to be sold, he would help his grandfather Sun Boming with the work.
Hu Ming's letter described in detail what he did at home and at school.
He also told Sun Shan that if he could not go to Yuanlu next year, he would have to study at Hong's School in the county seat.
Like Sun Shan, he lived in the school since he was a child and studied hard, hoping to pass the imperial examination like Sun Shan in the future.
When Sun Shan saw Hu Ming's letter, he was overwhelmed with mixed feelings, feeling relieved but also sad.
Hu Ming took Sun Shan as his role model in everything, but he had no idea that Sun Shan was not a child at all.
Oh, this child is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.
Gui Ge'er disagreed: "Brother Shan, Hu Ming is very lucky to be your adopted son. He has enough food and clothes to eat and study. If he doesn't study hard, he would be heartless and unworthy of your kindness in raising him."
After a pause, he continued, "Brother Shan, there are many little kids in the village who envy Hu Ming. If you ask for a son, I guarantee that all the little kids in the village will line up for you to choose."
Then he added: "But Brother Shan, my family doesn't line up and won't be your adopted son. Haha, he wants to be a book boy."
Between being an adopted son and being a book boy, Guiger chose to be a book boy.
Haha, Brother Shan is fighting in the front, and he is cheering for Brother Shan from behind.
Haha, it’s better for the smart Shan Ge to work hard. A stupid guy like him can’t be as good as Shan Ge’s one year of hard work even if he works hard for a hundred years.
As a person you must know yourself, you must know your own identity and positioning, don't force it.
Gui Ge'er thought that Sun Shan's son must be as smart as Sun Shan, and his own son must be as stupid as himself, so it was best for Xiao Xiaogui to be Xiao Xiaoshan's book boy.
Sun Shan heard Gui Ge'er's twisted logic:......
Forget it, he likes to think this way, but Sun Shan would never do that.
What if Xiao Xiaogui has a genetic mutation and becomes a smart kid?
Don't look at the hatred, look at the Buddha's side. For the sake of Gui Ge'er, Sun Shan will also cultivate little Gui well.
Those who are capable should move forward, and parents must not hold them back.
Sun Shan took out another letter, which was given to him by the village chief.
After opening it, the contents were almost the same, the only difference was that it assured Sun Shan that he would manage Sunjia Village well and would not let the villagers use Sun Shan's name to do bad things. Anyone who dared to do so would be whipped.
The village chief said confidently that he was still strong and energetic and could live for several more decades.
He promised to help Sun Shan keep an eye on the people in Sunjia Village, so that no villager could escape from his Five Fingers Mountain, and Sun Shan could be at ease as a high-ranking official.
Gui Ge'er said with a smile: "Brother Shan, it is really painful for the villagers to live under the watchful eyes of the village chief. They must be strictly controlled by the village chief."
With the village chief in charge, Sun Shan felt relieved and said with a smile: "Next time I send a letter, I must thank the village chief. I agree with him keeping an eye on it."
Sun Shan pulled out the last letter and his mouth twitched when he saw the name on it.
His dear third uncle really wrote him a letter.
In Sun Shan’s life trajectory, Uncle Sun may be late, but he will never be absent.
Looking at the letter, Sun Shan really didn't want to open it.
Finally, I opened it and couldn't help frowning.
This character is so big, I don’t know who wrote it.
The first thing Sun Sanshu said was: Shanzi, when will you take over Sanshu? Sanshu has been waiting for a long time, why is it still not here?
Sun Shan's mouth twitched again:...
I knew this sentence would come.
Before leaving, Uncle Sun called him Lai Yuanlu, and now when he wrote to him, he still called him Lai Yuanlu.
Uncle Sun is obviously very obsessed with Lai Yuanlu.
In fact, Sun Shan didn't understand why he came. Didn't his family want to sell the mountain products anymore?
Alas, Zhong Laodeng’s ideas were very different, and Sun Shan neither understood nor supported them.
