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

As the sun set and night fell, Sun Shan and his family had a meal that was more satisfying than ever before.

Seeing my father, mother, wife and daughter all around me, I feel so happy.

The only regret is that Grandma Huang is unable to come because of her old age.

After eating and drinking, the music ended and everyone dispersed.

Sun Bomin, Su, Yun Jieer, Little Fatty, and Sun Shan were all alone in a room.

Sun Shan asked, "Father, Mother, and Grandma, how is she? Is Second Uncle taking care of her?"

Sun Bomin nodded. "I had originally asked your second and third uncles to take care of me, but who knew your third uncle would sneak up with us?"

Speaking of this, Sun Boming got angry.

We clearly determined the number of people at home and followed the list when we set off.

As they walked, a person suddenly jumped out from the cabin.

That’s right, that person is Uncle Sun.

While everyone was moving the goods and not paying attention, Uncle Sun sneaked into the cabin and piled up together with the goods.

When they arrived at Zhangzhou Prefecture, he suddenly jumped out, scaring Sun Bomin and his gang.

Uncle Sun even had the nerve to complain: "Brother, I've been cooped up with the goods these past few days. I've suffered so much. Brother, I've suffered so much just to see Shanzi. You have to compensate me."

When he said this, Sun Bomin wanted to slap him.

Sun Bomin said angrily, "Get off the boat now and return to Huangyang County from Zhangzhou Prefecture."

Uncle Sun was not willing to do that and kept pestering to stay.

Sun Bomin has always been honest and simple, and he is not good at speaking, so he can never win an argument with Uncle Sun.

I had no choice but to take him on the road.

After hearing this, Sun Shan's mouth twitched and he asked, "Father, Third Uncle is hiding in the cabin. How will he get enough food, drink, and toilet these days?"

You can't just not eat or drink.

Sun Bomin said helplessly, "My cousin found the food missing from the kitchen and thought it was eaten by mice. He even scolded the cook. Who knew it was your third uncle who sneaked out in the dead of night and stole food? Thankfully, my cousin is family, so I didn't make a fuss about it."

Sun Shan's mouth twitched again. His uncle had really tried his best to come and see him.

Sun Shan asked again, "Father, Third Uncle came with us quietly. Grandma, Second Uncle doesn't know. Will they be worried?"

This question left Sun Bomin speechless: "Your Third Uncle, have Cowboy write a letter to tell your Grandma, Second Uncle, and Third Aunt that he's coming with us."

He sighed and said speechlessly, "He also told Cowboy to wait until your grandma, second uncle, and third aunt find someone before he can take out the letter. If they don't find someone, then don't take it."

Su hugged the little fat girl and curled her lips and said, "Cowboy has the same personality as your Third Uncle. He has learned to cover for your Third Uncle at such a young age. Humph..."

He whispered: "A stinking pit produces stinking weeds." The cowboy and Uncle Sun shared a load.

Humph, the future will definitely not be good.

Sun Shan never expected that the little cowboy would actually help cover for him. Tsk tsk~~~ It seems that the cowboy really deserves a beating.

Despite being so young, he was able to remain calm and do as Uncle Sun instructed.

Wow~~ It can be said that "talented people emerge in every generation" and "the disciple is better than the master".

Sun Bomin said helplessly: "I think the cowboy needs to be taught a lesson. If he continues like this, he will be able to do anything."

Sun Bomin felt that the cowboys were more difficult to deal with than Uncle Sun. Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun did not run an education organization, so they had to ask the village chief to come.

Of course, the effect would be better if Sun Shan was free.

Sun Bomin ordered, "Shanzi, write a letter back to Sunjia Village. First, to report safety. Second, to ask the tribe to properly discipline the cowboy."

Sun Shan silently observed three seconds of silence for the cowboy in the distance.

Then he continued to do what he was supposed to do: "Okay, Dad, I'll write a letter and ask the village chief to take good care of the cowboys. No, not just cowboys, but other cowboys as well. Oh, I have to ask the village chief for help again. It's hard for him to continue to take care of the village affairs at his age."

Sun Bomin said cheerfully, "Please do as you please. Your village chief will be more energetic if he has something to do."

Sun Shan felt relieved when he learned that Mrs. Huang was fine. He continued to ask, "How are my aunt and uncle?"

Sun Bomin smiled and said, "Okay, your aunt and uncle are both very good. Your aunt and uncle asked me to bring you a lot of delicacies from the mountains and the sea to nourish you. They also asked me to bring a lot of soup ingredients, so I have to make soup for you often."

Then he continued, "You should write a letter to your aunt and uncle to thank them sincerely. And let them know you're safe. They're all very concerned about you. I wonder if you're doing well in Yuanlu County."

Sun Shan said happily, "Father, my aunt and uncle have always loved me. I must write a careful letter back to reassure them."

Turning around, he said to Sister Yun, "Sister Yun, you can paint. You have to draw a picture of me and the government office so that my aunt and uncle know that everything is fine with me here."

Yun Jie'er quickly followed the order and said, "Brother Shan, I understand. I have to go around the government office these two days so I can paint and let my aunt, uncle, grandma, and second uncle know how our place is."

Of course, I have to draw Shan Ge wearing official uniform so that relatives far away can know how majestic Shan Ge is as an official.

Sun Bomin took things out of the luggage bit by bit.

He took them and introduced them: "This is a letter from Master Zheng and Master Hong, this is a letter from the village chief, and this is a letter from your classmates in Zhangzhou Prefecture..."

Each item was passed on clearly so that Sun Shan would know who brought him the item.

Sun Shan asked with concern, "Father, is Master Hong healthy and well? How's Jianzi? Is he doing well in school?"

I believe that relatives and friends will take advantage of this opportunity of Sun Boming’s visit to bring him something.

Sun Shan took what Yun Jie'er handed over, a stack of letters thicker than a book, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

You don't need to open it to know that it was written by Da Pangpang.

Alas, poor Fatty, he is still a child and has been unable to get ashore.

Sun Bomin smiled naively and said, "Good, very good. Mr. Hong stands tall and straight, looking very strong. His voice is so resonant that it can be heard five miles away. He is still strong and resilient as he ages, and he is getting younger and younger as he gets older. He is more energetic than many young people."

After a pause, he continued, "Mr. Hong also said that the school now has many promising students. Given time, it will surely produce more Juren and Jinshi. Haha, Mr. Hong is very ambitious now."

Sun Shan was amused, as he could imagine Hong Xiucai's high morale.

He nodded repeatedly and said, "Master has been working very hard, I believe you will get what you want."

While listening to the conversation between Sun Shan and Sun Bomin, Su curled her lips again.

I strongly disagree with Sun Shan's words: Humph, you really think you are a juren? Jinshi is cabbage, you can get it if you want it. Dream on!

Mr. Hong is simply dreaming.

In the entire Huangyang County, it is not so easy to find a second mountain.

Humph, Mr. Hong is lucky. He happens to teach a talent that is rarely seen in a century.

It is Shanzi himself who is great, not Hong Xiucai's teaching ability.

If Mr. Hong was more capable, he would have been able to teach more scholars, juren and jinshi long ago.

Of course, Su never dared to say these words out loud, but he still understood the principle of respecting teachers.
