The Daily Life of a Rich Peasant's Boy in the Imperial Examination

A few days later, Sun Shan was reading documents in his "office". The autumn harvest would be here soon, and he had to arrange for yamen runners to go to various towns and villages to "preach" about the matters that needed attention during the autumn harvest.

Pay special attention to the weather when working, otherwise your dreams will be shattered at the last minute.

At this time, Gui Ge'er hurried in from outside and said excitedly: "Brother Shan, there's a letter from Sunjia Village!"

Sun Shan was stunned by this, then asked happily, "Where is it? Give it to me quickly."

From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, I finally received a letter from Sunjia Village. It has been such a long time.

Gui Geer came in carrying a package, put it on the desk, and said happily, "Brother Shan, Uncle Min sent a lot of things. Let's open them and take a look."

Sun Shan also saw a large package and exclaimed in surprise, "Such a large package was delivered safely. This escort agency is really impressive."

Back then, Sun Shan was afraid of losing things on the way, so he had to send a thick letter through the government post station. He also had no way of bringing some local specialties to Sunjia Village.

I didn’t expect that Sunjia Village could mail such a large package. They are more capable than him.

Gui Ge'er said cheerfully, "Yes, this escort agency is really good. They can actually send so many things here safely."

Then he said, "Brother Shan, this package was delivered by the big and small Wei escorts who served as guides last time."

Speaking of the Wei escorts, Sun Shan clearly remembered the scene of them running away until only a dot was left.

I get a little angry every time I think about this.

So he asked, "Is it their turn to escort the convoy to Yuanlu this time?"

During festivals, the escort agencies belonging to Wei and Wei would send gifts, and it was one of the best escort agencies in Yuanlu County.

Gui Ge'er nodded and said, "They escorted a batch of goods over. When they saw our package, they immediately delivered it to us."

After a pause, he continued, "The big and small Wei escorts also send their regards to you, Brother Shan."

Then he added, "Brother Shan, of course you are doing well. Your work as an official in Yuanlu is going more and more smoothly."

Sun Shan was amused and said with a smile, "Pack me up quickly so I can see what your uncle and aunt sent."

After saying that, he opened the package, and what came into view was a small bag of dried bamboo shoots.

Sun Shan stared blankly, his eyes moistening.

He liked to eat wild bamboo shoots, so Sun Bomin dried them and sent them to him.

A small bag of dried wild bamboo shoots represents a great deal of care and love.

When Gui Geer saw that it was wild dried bamboo shoots, he said happily, "Brother Shan, these are delicious. We'll soak them later and we can eat them tomorrow. These must be picked and dried in the mountains behind our Sunjia Village. Our Sunjia Village's small dried bamboo shoots are the most delicious."

Sun Shan's nose felt sore, but he nodded calmly and said, "Okay, I'll soak it in water and eat it tomorrow."

Then I saw a few more pairs of socks. Such delicate craftsmanship must have been made by Sister Yun.

It’s impossible for the Su family, not in this lifetime.

Gui Ge'er said with a smile: "Brother Shan, Auntie must have felt that the clothes were too heavy to send over, so she sent socks. Haha, Brother Shan, here are several pairs of socks, no need to buy them outside."

Sun Shan continued to search. He found quite a few dried goods, such as dried mushrooms and dried scallops. He also found many soup ingredients, such as codonopsis, Agaricus blazei, and ginseng.

Seeing so many ingredients for making soup, Brother Gui said excitedly, "Brother Shan, Uncle Min sent a lot of good soup ingredients."

After looking outside, he realized it was too late and said regretfully, "If the package had come earlier, I could have made some soup. It's not hot enough now, so I'll make it tomorrow."

When Sun Shan heard this, he smiled and said, "The soup ingredients are right here, no need to rush."

Gui Ge'er was anxious, and kept trying to take off his clothes, saying, "Brother Shan, it's urgent. Uncle Min must want you to eat it soon. Haha, he specifically asked me to make soup for you in the letter."

This makes a lot of sense. Maybe in the letter, Su really asked Gui Ge'er to make soup quickly.

Sun Shan opened the small package inside the big package, which contained a lot of letters.

Sun Shan took out a letter and said, "Gui'er, this is a letter from Xiao Hei Mei."

Gui Ge'er didn't believe it: "Little Blackie can only walk, how can she know how to read?"

He took the letter and saw that it was indeed his name. He said with a smile, "Brother Shan, this is my letter. It must be from Jinhua."

There are not only letters from Gui Ge'er, but also letters from Sun Dingnan, Zhang Shiye, Sun Dali, Datougou and others.

Such a small sack actually contained so many letters. Fortunately, the escort company was helpful and nothing was lost.

Sun Shan pulled out his thick stack of letters and opened them hastily. The first thing he saw was a painting.

The picture inside is actually of a little fat girl, and at the bottom of the picture are the little fat girl's footprints. She looks fat and chubby, and is very pleasing to the eye.

Looking at this painting, Sun Shan's eyes became hot and hot, and if he could, he would have shed tears of longing.

His daughter is so cute, fair and clean, chubby, with a round head and a cute look. She is as adorable as a panda.

Sun Shan pulled Gui Ge'er and said, "Gui Ge'er, look at my daughter. She has grown taller and more mature. What a beautiful girl."

Gui Ge'er took a look and said happily, "Brother Shan, Xiaoxiao is so cute, she looks like you."

Look, love blinded Gui Ge'er's eyes. Because he liked Sun Shan, he liked Xiaoxiao, and he thought Xiaoxiao was as pretty as Sun Shan.

Sun Shan said proudly, "Of course, who else would my daughter look like if not me? Your sister-in-law Yun's painting is so beautiful, so vivid, she has captured the lovely appearance of my daughter Xiaoxiao. Hey, my daughter Xiaoxiao can walk and talk now, I wonder if she can call me daddy? I'm afraid she doesn't even remember me."

Gui Ge'er said comfortingly, "Brother Shan, don't worry. Once we're safe here, we'll bring Xiaoxiao over."

This is the only way to do it. My career has just started and the road ahead is long. Xiaoxiao is still young, so I can only wait patiently.

Sun Shan looked at the life-like portrait of Xiaoxiao and couldn't help but be fascinated.

She is so pretty no matter how you look at her. She will definitely be a well-educated, well-mannered and elegant lady in the future.

Gui Ge'er also opened the letter and found two thin pages inside.

One was a letter written to him by Li Jinhua, the content of which was nothing more than saying that everything was fine at home, that she and Xiao Heimei were living well in the Sun family, and that Guiger should not worry, but work hard by Sun Shan's side and serve him well.

The other one is a real-life photo of the little black girl.

When Gui Ge'er saw it, he couldn't stop laughing. He pulled Sun Shan aside and said, "Brother Shan, look at my little black girl. Isn't she pretty? This painting must have been drawn by Sister Yun. Haha, it's so lifelike."

Sun Shan took a look and was shocked. Oh my god, how could he be so pretty?

Little Black Girl is still Little Black Girl, still as dark as ever, just a little bigger than before.

Her appearance has nothing to do with being pretty.

Fatherly love blinded Guiger's eyes, and he actually said that such an ugly kid was handsome.

Oh, it’s all because Sister Yun’s painting is too realistic. Why doesn’t she use beautification?

Looking at Gui Ge'er's eyes, they were sparkling with anticipation.

Sun Shan had no choice but to lie and say, "Pretty, really pretty, it's Pretty Little Sister."
