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

It was almost dark when Sun Shan and his party returned to the yamen.

Uncle Sun had sharp ears and heard the big horse calling out "Awoo~~~ Awoo~~~" from afar. He ran quickly to the back door, intending to go out and take a look.

The old man guarding the gate immediately stopped him, saying, "Third Master, it's getting dark, don't go out on the street."

Uncle Sun secretly rolled his eyes at the old man guarding the gate.

Thinking to himself: I can go out if I want, it's none of your business. Hmph, a mere old gatekeeper dares to block the Third Master, doesn't he know what death means?

It is said that the old man guarding the gate has served as the gatekeeper in the backyard of the government office for three generations, and he was not replaced after Sun Shan took office, which shows that the relationship between them is very close.

Uncle Sun said with a forced smile, "I'll just take a look; I won't go out."

The gatekeeper had no idea what Uncle Sun was talking about; his only task was to guard the Third Master.

Do not let him wander around; this is what Lord Sun ordered.

Uncle Sun used both his hands and feet, pointing and pointing, but the old man guarding the gate remained unmoved.

Uncle Sun: .....

In that instant, I regretted coming to Yuanlu County. I should have stayed in Sunjia Village and enjoyed my freedom.

Fortunately, Sun Shan didn't make his third uncle waste any more breath and soon appeared in a carriage.

Uncle Sun was so excited that he ran and pounced, screaming, "Shanzi, Uncle's Shanzi, you're finally back! Uncle missed you so much, so much!"

Accompanying him were his own brother Sun Bomin and his own son Dege'er, but Uncle Sun ignored them all, his eyes were only on Sun Shan.

Sun Shan got off the carriage, and his third uncle suddenly appeared in front of him.

My instinctive reaction was to quickly take a few steps back before I could regain my footing.

She secretly rolled her eyes and said, "Third Uncle, what are you doing here? You're scaring people, there's no cure for it."

A wrinkled, age-spotted old face suddenly appears before your eyes, yet Sun Shan's ability to remain calm so quickly demonstrates his remarkable mental fortitude.

Uncle Sun didn't hear Sun Shan's complaints at all. Instead, he complained like a woman in her boudoir, "Shanzi, Uncle is suffering so much. I can't eat or sleep well these days. I stay in the backyard of the yamen all day long, like I'm in prison."

"Shanzi, your third uncle has never suffered like this. I traveled a long way, overcoming countless difficulties, just to see you. I thought life would be wonderful, but I never imagined... Shanzi, how could you treat your third uncle like this? You've disappointed me so much."

Sun Shan immediately stopped him: "Third Uncle, what if you cause trouble while I'm not around? You won't be able to find anyone to save you then. Have you thought about the consequences?"

Uncle Sun replied with absolute confidence: "Shanzi, even if you have a cannon, you can't drive it like that. In Yuanlu County, who dares to offend you? Knowing that I am the Third Master, who would dare to bully me?"

"You cunning mountain spirit, huh? I saw right through you. All your excuses are just a trap; you want to keep me trapped, not letting me go anywhere. Heavens above, earth below, what's wrong with this world?"

Sun Shan waved his hand and walked into the backyard first.

Uncle Sun followed closely behind, muttering, "Shanzi, humph, I told you so, didn't I? Speechless now, aren't you?"

Sun Shan interrupted his third uncle's complaint again: "Third Uncle, what excuse? I'm stating the facts. I am the most powerful in Yuanlu County, but there are many officials in the world who are more powerful than me. What if a high-ranking official passes through here and you happen to offend him?"

"Hmph, if I'm not around, you could get beaten to death and no one would save you. There are plenty of capable people out there. This isn't Sun Family Village; everyone around here is family. Don't even mention you; even I have to be subservient here."

He sighed and said, "I didn't bring many men, and we can't win a fight. Uncle, how can you not understand my helplessness?"

Uncle Sun rolled his eyes. Now that he thought about it, there was actually some truth to it.

The main problem is that all the guards have gone out, and if they get into a fight, it will be difficult to find reinforcements.

Relying on the government officials? They can't compare to the guards of the Sun family.

Fine, I'll forgive him this time, since Shanzi's words make some sense.

So Uncle Sun turned around and cleverly changed the subject: "Big brother, you're back?"

Sun Bomin: ......

As soon as he entered the door, his third brother clung to Shanzi, completely disregarding his elder brother. Who is the closest blood relative to whom?

Uncle Sun was completely oblivious to Sun Bomin's dissatisfaction.

Perhaps he noticed, but pretended not to, and pressed on, asking, "Brother, is the bird droppings pit very big? Tell me quickly. Hey, I've missed you so much while you were gone, worried that you were tired from all the running around. Brother, are you tired? I'll massage your bones for you tonight, I'm pretty good at it."

Sun Bomin asked with amusement, "I've never heard of you being able to rub bones."

Uncle San said with a grin, "Big brother, you didn't know how before, but you do now, hehe, let your third brother serve you."

Uncle Sun chatted with Sun Bomin as they walked.

As I walked along, I always felt that something was missing, but I couldn't quite put my finger on what it was.

Sun Shan strode forward.

Upon hearing footsteps, Su Shi and Yun Jie'er hurriedly ran out.

Even faster than Su Shi and Yun Jie'er was Little Fatty, who shot up like a cannonball at Sun Shan's feet and called out perfunctorily, "Daddy."

She continued running and flew until she landed in Sun Bomin's arms, her eyes red-rimmed.

She cried out pitifully, "Grandpa, you're finally back. Grandpa, I've missed you so much. I missed you so much that I couldn't eat and I've lost several pounds."

Sun Bomin was deeply moved and hugged the chubby girl tightly, saying with heartache, "Xiaoxiao, Grandpa misses you too. Grandpa's Xiaoxiao has gotten so thin, so thin, it breaks Grandpa's heart."

Sun Shan, who was about to bend down and hug the chubby little girl: .....

He thought the little fat girl's projectile was aimed at him, but who knew it would overtake him on a curve, veer towards Sun Bomin, and land in his arms.

This feeling of loss lasted only five seconds, and soon a small figure rushed over, calling out urgently, "Uncle Shan!"

Little Black Girl shouted sincerely. Then, like Little Fatty Girl, she turned sharply and rushed towards Brother Gui.

A sweet voice called out from behind: "Father, you're back! Little Blackie missed you so much, Little Blackie missed you every day."

Sun Shan: ...

His face fell, and he continued to feel disappointed.

Yun Jie'er was a step slower than Xiao Fei Mei but a step faster than Su Shi. She called out happily, "Brother Shan, you're back! Did everything go smoothly?"

Just as Sun Shan was about to answer, Sister Yun ignored him.

He eagerly picked up Huming and asked with concern, "Good son, are you tired? Have you suffered? Poor thing, you've suffered following your godfather everywhere."

Hu Ming was also very happy to see Yun Jie'er, and cheerfully replied, "Godmother, I'm not tired. I saw many new things on this trip, and I'm very happy."

Then he said regretfully, "If only my godmother could have come along. Oh, what a pity, what a pity."

Yun Jie'er kissed Hu Ming and said happily, "It's good that you're back. Your godmother missed you so much."

Sun Shan: ...

Sure enough, after a woman has a child, her husband becomes almost irrelevant.
