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

Sun Shan was lying leisurely in a rocking chair in the backyard of Yuanlu Yamen, waiting for the New Year's Eve dinner.

Sister Yun was busy preparing the New Year's Eve dinner in Sunjia Village.

Mrs. Su held the little fat girl in her arms and watched her daughter-in-law busying around. She had been busy for a long time but still hadn't blanched the chicken.

He glared at her secretly and said in a bad tone, "Xiaoxiao's mother, is the chicken ready? Are you waiting to offer it to the gods?"

In Sunjia Village, chickens are the first choice for ancestor worship. If there are no chickens, pork will be used. If that is still not possible, geese will be considered. As for ducks, they cannot be offered as sacrifices.

Don't ask why, the Su family doesn't know why either. It's a tradition passed down from our ancestors, so we just have to follow it.

Sister Yun quickly responded, "Mother, it's almost done. Wait a moment."

Sister Yun was also helpless. In previous years, it was the Su family that was busy, and she just watched from the side.

It was Su's turn to be busy this year, but who knew that her father-in-law would ask her to take charge of the overall situation and said that the family should be left to her.

My father-in-law and mother-in-law are old and it’s time for them to retire.

Sister Yun doesn’t want to be busy at all and doesn’t want Su to retire at all.

Mrs. Su didn't want to retire either, but Mrs. Huang and Sun Boming felt that their daughter-in-law was a lady from a wealthy family and knew more.

In addition, he was imported for the Sun family. Although there was no new baby, he was still a family member. He should have taken over the important responsibilities and taken charge of the overall situation as soon as possible.

If I follow Sun Shan in the future, I will also know how to do things.

The Su family was unwilling to accept the defeat, but unfortunately, the score was 2 to 1 and the Su family was completely defeated.

Looking at Sister Yun who was busy running around, Su glared at her again.

Then he complained to the little fat girl in his arms, "Fat girl, fat girl, your grandma is so miserable. Your dad is not around, and your grandma and grandpa bully me. Poor grandma, no one respects you at home. If your dad were here, grandma wouldn't have to feel so aggrieved.

Your father is the most filial son in the world, and he will definitely stand by your grandma. Poor Shanzi, I don’t know how he is doing in Yuanlu County. I heard it’s snowing heavily there, and it will be very cold. Fatty, your father is frail, and I don’t know if he can bear it.

Su's change from feeling sorry for herself to worrying about Sun Shan was so quick.

The little fat girl hugged Su tightly, and from time to time she held the big gold bracelet, looking at Su in a daze, not knowing what she was saying.

But he still sensed Grandma's unhappiness, and immediately transformed into a close-fitting little cotton-padded jacket, shouting: "Grandma, Grandma..."

I don't know what else to say. I can't express what's going on in my head.

Su was feeling sorry for himself and for Sun Shan.

Hearing the little fat girl's cry, she glared at her granddaughter and complained, "Why are you calling grandma? Are you hungry? Eat, eat, eat, that's all you know how to do. What else do you know besides eating?"

He shook the fat girl with his hands as thin as chicken claws and sighed, "Oh, my family has a big fat girl, and she's getting heavier every day. Humph, she looks exactly like your mother."

Seeing the chubby girl, Su thought of the thin and weak Sun Shan.

He spoke again with self-pity, "Poor Shanzi, you've been so thin and tiny since you were little. Your grandma and your dad worked so hard to raise you. You grew up in a world of medicine. I wonder if you're doing well in Yuanlu County. Today is New Year's Eve, and I wonder if you can butcher a chicken to eat."

The little fat girl really couldn't understand why grandma was unhappy again.

Still ignorantly shouting: "Grandma, Grandma..."

When asked why the little fat girl only called me Grandma, she didn't know why.

Su was worried about her son who was far away, but was interrupted again by the little fat girl.

He glared at the fat girl again: "Why do you always call me grandma? If I don't call you grandma for a day, are you restless?"

He looked at the little fat girl's big eyes like grapes, and touched her belly.

Because she was wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket, the little fat girl looked round and plump, and Su couldn't feel her belly no matter how hard she tried.

I said to myself, "This fat girl must be hungry."

I put the little fat girl down casually, thinking of feeding her some dried scallop and lean meat porridge to fill her stomach.

Looking at the way my daughter-in-law is touching me, I have to wait for a while before eating the New Year's Eve dinner, otherwise my fat granddaughter will starve.

The fat girl thought that Su was going to get rid of her and watched the big gold bracelet go away from her.

She shouted anxiously and loudly: "Grandma, Grandma, hold me, hold me..."

He shouted and ran towards Su.

Because he was in too much of a hurry and his feet were unstable, he fell forward as soon as he started running.

With a "thump", he fell straight to the ground. Fortunately, it was winter and he was wearing warm clothes, so he didn't get hurt.

It doesn't hurt much, but the little fat girl has always been a crybaby, and she feels wronged to fall to the ground like this.

Instantly, he burst into tears: "Wow~~~Wow~~~Wow~~~"

After crying for a few seconds, tears and snot came out together, as if someone had done something to her.

Sun Bomin, who was watching the servants paste couplets and door gods, heard his eldest granddaughter crying and ran over hurriedly.

I saw my eldest granddaughter lying on the ground like a turtle.

Tears and snot flowed out, eyes were red, face was red.

My heart aches.

He quickly rushed over, picked up the little fat girl before Su Shi did, and coaxed her: "Dear grandson, don't cry, grandma doesn't want you, grandpa wants you. Be good, don't cry, grandpa is in pain..."

Turning around, she scolded Su, "Xiaoxiao's grandmother, how can you take care of a child? It's winter, and the ground is so cold, why did you let Xiaoxiao lie on the ground? Just look at me, if you make something wrong with your granddaughter, I will let you go."

He scolded Su without any reason.

He turned around with a pleasant expression, and coaxed the little fat girl lovingly and gently: "Grandpa's good grandson, don't cry, grandpa will take you out to play. Poor my dear grandson, your face is hurt by your tears."

Su:.......

What did she do just now? She just put the little fat girl down and gave her some porridge.

How did she mess with the fat girl?

Su was confused for a moment, then reacted.

He yelled at Sun Bomin, "Xiaoxiao's grandfather, what do you mean? Xiaoxiao fell down on her own, why are you blaming me? You're so good! Don't think you can bully me just because Shanzi isn't at home?"

Su felt wronged. She didn't do anything, so why was she scolded?

God is unfair!

Sister Yun, who was hiding in the corner and witnessed the whole process, patted her chest and couldn't help but feel scared.

My father-in-law was so fierce just now, I felt sorry for my mother-in-law.

The little fat girl is really something. She fell down and she just got up by herself?

If you're dressed like a ball, how can you get hurt if you fall?

Sister Yun hid in the corner, just wanting to watch her daughter fend for herself, no, to get up on her own.

But he burst into tears.

Oh, what a spoiled fat girl.

Sister Yun said to Hu Ming, who was busy with her, "My dear son, don't be like your sister, who fell down and didn't know how to get up. We Sun family boys don't do that. Remember, you have to get up from where you fell, okay?"

Just now, Hu Ming was also one of the eyewitnesses at the scene.

I wanted to go out and help the little sister up, but my godmother stopped me, saying that little girls become stronger after falling down, so I don’t need to pay any attention to her.

Hu Ming hid in the corner and silently cheered for his sister.

Alas, things did not go as planned. My sister chose to cry loudly, which caused grandpa and grandma to quarrel.

Hu Ming said seriously, "Foster mother, I understand. I won't be as spoiled as my sister. I will get up on my own after falling. Foster father also said that if you want to pursue the path of the imperial examination, besides diligence, you must also not be afraid of falling or hardship. I will keep your teachings in mind."
