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

While feeding her granddaughter, Su glanced at Huang and said bravely, "Xiaoxiao's mother, do you want your cousin to give something to Shanzi?"

Sister Yun has mentioned it twice, so it definitely wasn't for no reason. It seems like she just wants her cousin to help with the shipping.

Su's eyes rolled around. She had to start preparing and sorting it out now, and let her cousin give it to Shanzi after the New Year.

No matter how much Huang objects, we have to do this.

Otherwise, Shanzi would have nothing to eat. Especially the dried bamboo shoots from last time, Shanzi said he liked them very much.

Yun Jieer continued Su's words and said, "Mother, this is what I think. Our cousin has arrived in Chenzhou Prefecture, so why don't we go with him? Brother Shan has been saying he'll come pick us up, but it seems like he's forgotten about us a long time ago."

Pointing at the little fat girl, she said aggrievedly: "Mother, look at Xiaoxiao. She will be two years old tomorrow. She hasn't seen Shan Ge for a long time. Maybe she has already forgotten Shan Ge."

Su, Sun Boming, and Huang were stunned and looked at Yun Jie'er in surprise.

The three of them just thought that Sister Yun was asking around because she wanted to send something to Sun Shan.

He actually wanted to follow him to find Sun Shan? How bold of him!

Huang was the first to disagree, saying, "Sister Yun, you can't go. The journey is long and dangerous. Didn't Shanzi say last time that he encountered bandits? The world is still not peaceful. You can't go."

He looked at the little fat girl and continued, "Look at Xiaoxiao, she's so young. What if she gets sick on the way and can't find a doctor? No, she can't go."

Sun Bomin disagreed and said, "Yes, Xiaoxiao's mother, we know you are worried about Shanzi, but the journey is too far and it is not easy to go. Especially the section of Qitianling, which goes around the mountain and around and around, but there is no end. It is too difficult to walk. No, we can't go."

Sun Bomin felt uneasy when he thought about his chubby granddaughter walking such a long way.

He shook his head and said, "Xiaoxiao is still young and can't leave. Let's wait until she's older and see."

Then the Su family is different from Sun Boming and Huang families.

What's so difficult about walking on the mountain road? Her family lives in a valley, and walking on the mountain road takes longer than eating rice.

What's so difficult about that so-called Qitianling?

What's more, Su was very worried about Sun Shan. She thought about him day and night and was worried that Sun Shan couldn't eat or sleep well.

And in the Sun family, life is unbearable.

Sun Bomin and Huang teamed up to bully her. Without Shanzi's support, who would suffer?

Su Shi wanted to join Sun Shan immediately, live by his side and enjoy the good life, and more importantly, not have to worry about him.

He secretly glanced at Sister Yun again. Her belly was as round as his chubby granddaughter's.

What's the use? She hasn't even laid an extra egg, and hasn't added a child to the Sun family yet.

This time, the Su family learned their lesson and started from the perspective of the Sun family instead of themselves.

He said pretentiously, "Mother, the head of the household. I'd be scared if I went alone, but how could I be scared if I went with my cousin? They've eaten more salt than we have rice. They'll naturally know how to avoid danger. And the bandits Shanzi mentioned have been wiped out, haven't they? There's no need to worry. I think it's best for me to go with my cousin to Chenzhou Prefecture and find Shanzi."

Huang quickly shook her head and said, "No, the journey is too far. Even if you go with your cousin, I'm worried. Let's wait for Shanzi to come back and pick you up."

Yun Jie'er and Su Shi unexpectedly stood on the same side.

I was thinking: By the time Shan Ge/Shan Zi comes to pick me up, all the mosquitoes will be asleep.

Sun Shan had said that he would take them to their new posts, but it had been so long and there had been no news.

Yun Jie'er and Su Shi had no hope for Sun Shan.

Sister Yun said softly, "Grandma, my cousin has a big business and has many associates, and they will also go with the escort team."

To reassure Huang and Sun Bomin, Yun Jieer added, "This escort team is the Guangsheng Escort Agency that my father-in-law and Brother Shan hired before. They have an absolutely good reputation. If you follow them, nothing will happen."

When Sun Shan went to study at Yuelu Academy, he followed the Guangsheng Escort Agency. When Sun Shan went to Yuanlu to take up his post, he also followed the Guangsheng Escort Agency on the journey to Changsha Prefecture.

Having successfully resisted both attacks, Sister Yun is full of confidence in Guangsheng Escort Agency.

When Sun Bomin heard about the Guangsheng Escort Agency, his forgotten memories resurfaced. That escort chief, Zhan, was indeed a good man and a righteous man, but the journey was still too far.

He shook his head repeatedly and said, "Xiaoxiao's mother, from Guangzhou to Changsha, you have to go to Chenzhou Prefecture, and then to Yuanlu County. How long does it take? The road is too bumpy and difficult to walk. You are a woman, you must have suffered."

He looked at the plump little girl who was holding Su's legs and shook his head, saying, "Xiaoxiao is still a little kid. There are so many snakes, insects, mosquitoes and ants on the road. Xiaoxiao can't stand it. No, don't go. It's too dangerous."

At this time, Su jumped out and said, "Master, is there any danger? Go with your cousins ​​and the escort team. They know how to deal with it. Look at other officials. They all bring their wives, children, mothers, and fathers with them. How can you be like Shanzi, who is all alone?"

Other women can endure it, so why can't we? Besides, we were born into poor families, so we can endure it better than those from wealthy families. It's just a mountain road, everyone has walked it."

Then he continued, "Shanzi will be 25 next year. Other people's sons are already in school at this age. But poor Shanzi, I don't even have a single taro."

After saying this, he glared at Sister Yun. This daughter-in-law is useless and can't even give birth to a son.

Humph, if it were in another family, she would have been divorced long ago.

He looked at the little fat girl sitting on a low stool and eating porridge anxiously, and his heart attack came back again.

Eat, eat, just eat.

How much of the Sun family's rice has been eaten by this fat granddaughter? Will there be enough for her younger brother in the future?

Oh, my father-in-law is really something. Why did he catch a girl instead of a boy? If he had a boy, we wouldn't have to worry so much now.

After Su said this, Huang and Sun Boming also became anxious.

Yes, Sun Shan is already 25 years old and has only one daughter to his name, while other people’s sons have already been able to help with the housework.

Sun Bomin felt very unhappy. Not long ago, there was a village meeting and he did sit in the main seat, but it was of no use!

His peers who were in much lower positions than him were either holding or carrying water chestnuts.

Especially when there is a new baby in the ancestral hall, there are many lights, but not a single one belongs to you.

Not long ago, my third brother's son, Yong Ge, finally gave birth to a son, and they held a grand banquet.

Sun Bomin still sat in the main seat, but what was the point? He wasn't from the Shanzi family!

Sun Bomin had suffered enough from not having a son, and finally had a son, who became the pride of the whole village.

He is happy, but as he gets older, Sun Boming starts to worry about not having grandchildren because of the constant "Grandpa" calls.

Sun Bomin didn't want Sun Shan to be like himself, unable to hold his head up in the village because he had no son.

Raising a son for ninety-nine is always accompanied by worries for a hundred years. If a son and his wife are separated for many years, it would be a wonder if they could have a son!

Seeing Sun Bomin and Huang in sorrow, Yun Jieer couldn't help but feel happy.

By persuading him with emotion and reason, it seems that the chances of finding Brother Shan have greatly increased.

Sister Yun looked at Su with gratitude.

My mother-in-law really knows how to pick on the sore spots and hit the vital points!
