Chapter 1531 Sun Shan and Hu Ming's Night Talk
Sun Shan and Sister Yun bought a lot of gifts and returned to the yamen.
Sun Bomin and Su were all smiles when they received it.
They kept shouting: "Don't buy it! Don't buy it! It's a waste of money. Father and Mother already have enough."
That's what I said, but I was secretly overjoyed.
Hu Ming and Xiao Hei Mei were also very happy.
Children love receiving gifts, and the joyful atmosphere filled the hall as they circled around Sun Shan and Sister Yun.
Little Fatty was also very happy, especially when she saw her parents take out a pair of shiny gold bracelets. Her eyes widened, and a tiny bit of drool appeared at the corner of her mouth.
The chubby little girl exclaimed anxiously, "Father, Mother, is this a gift for Xiaoxiao?"
Their eyes sparkled with anticipation.
Sister Yun tapped the little fat girl's forehead, shook her head and said, "It was indeed bought for you by your father, but unfortunately, you are not obedient at all, which makes your father very sad."
Little Fatty panicked and threw herself into Sun Shan's arms, pleading, "Father, Xiaoxiao is very obedient. Xiaoxiao will never dare to be naughty again. Father, please forgive Xiaoxiao, okay?"
The chubby girl raised her chubby hand high, looked at the gold bracelet she was wearing, and compared it with the gold bracelet her father had bought back in Chenzhou Prefecture. It was like heaven and earth.
The gold bracelet from Chenzhou Prefecture looks just like Grandma's; except it doesn't have any gemstones, it's just as thick and sturdy.
The chubby girl loved it to bits.
Sun Shan looked at the chubby girl with amusement, but said in a serious tone, "Keep the gold bracelet with your mother for now, and give it to you after you finish your studies."
The chubby girl pouted, looking very aggrieved, and wanted to put it on immediately.
Such a thick, shiny gold bracelet, so cool!
Sun Shan remained unmoved and said, "Good girl, you are not allowed to cheat or lie in the future."
Little Fatty had no choice but to nod in agreement: "Father, Xiaoxiao understands."
Little Fatty shook his head and quickly got out of Sun Shan's arms.
She said hurriedly, "Father, Mother, Xiaoxiao will do her homework until dawn tonight, and she will definitely be able to catch up on what she has missed. She can wear the gold bracelet tomorrow."
After saying that, he hurriedly pulled his little maid Rongyatou away, asking her to help him grind ink for calligraphy practice.
Sister Yun and Sun Shan exchanged a helpless glance.
Look, the gold bracelet is Little Fatty's motivation.
Money talks, and this chubby girl is a real gold digger.
Sun Shan shook his head and said, "Sister Yun, I feel like I've failed as a father."
Sister Yun sighed and said, "Brother Shan, me too."
He paused, then said, "It's normal that we're not good at parenting, since it's our first time. Never mind, we'll teach them properly from now on and not let them run wild anymore."
Speaking of teaching him properly, Sun Shan called out, "Huming, come with your godfather to the study. I haven't tested your studies for a long time since I've been away."
Thinking of the admiration, Sun Shan should pay close attention to Hu Ming's learning progress.
The worst thing is to have a weak foundation, only to realize it after you've entered the game. It's not too late, but it still wastes a lot of time.
Learning should start from a young age.
Hu Ming responded softly, "Godfather, your son has arrived."
Sun Shan took Hu Ming's little hand and led him into the study. He asked Hu Ming what he had learned these past few days and then tested him on each of the knowledge points he had learned.
Xiao Huming nervously glanced at Sun Shan, answering whatever was asked, unsure if his answers were good or bad.
Sun Shan smiled and said, "Good son, don't be nervous. This is just a small test for your godfather. There will be a big test in the future. You need to get used to the test slowly so that you won't be afraid when you enter the venue."
Hu Ming nodded seriously: "Yes, Godfather, I understand."
After testing Hu Ming on what he had learned, Sun Shan praised him, saying, "Not bad, you've learned it very well."
Then he told Hu Ming about his admiration, and sighed, "Good son, it doesn't matter if we study a little slower, but we must be thorough and familiar with the material. Have you heard of pulling up seedlings to help them grow? We can't be like those seedlings that are artificially pulled up."
Hu Ming thought for a moment and asked, "Father, is Young Master Jing going to start studying the Four Books and Five Classics again? Won't he fall behind and not be able to catch up?"
Sun Shan nodded, then shook his head: "Young Master Jing's studies are not solid enough, he must start from scratch. Also, don't be afraid of falling behind, because you can catch up if you work hard. The worst thing is to avoid facing your shortcomings and not dare to admit them."
Hu Ming nodded and assured him, "Father, I understand. If I don't understand something in the future, I will definitely ask."
Sun Shan patted Hu Ming's little head with a smile: "Okay, if you don't understand, just ask. Let's discuss it with our classmates first, and then ask the teacher if we have any results."
If you still have doubts, ask me. Learning requires both studying and asking questions; only then can you make progress.
Hu Ming smiled sweetly: "Godfather, did you study like this when you were a child?"
Sun Shan answered definitively, "Of course. My godfather loved asking questions when he was a child. Many teachers would avoid me when they saw me, afraid that if I asked a question, it would delay their meals. The teachers' stomachs would be growling with hunger, which was very uncomfortable."
Tiger Roar's eyes shone brightly, as if to say: Godfather, I never imagined you were this kind of person.
With nothing to do, Sun told Hu Ming about his time studying at the prefectural school.
She said she admired a certain professor and wanted to become his student. Unfortunately, she wasn't the professor's type and declined to take him on as a student.
Unable to find a one-on-one master, he could only keep asking the teacher questions every day.
Sun Shan chuckled and said, "Good son, one must be a little thick-skinned. In ancient times, every scholar had a teacher. A teacher is one who imparts knowledge, teaches skills, and resolves doubts. No one is born with knowledge; who can be without doubts?"
The teacher is there to answer students' questions, so don't be shy, ask boldly. If the teacher refuses, find another teacher. Good son, be bold, we're not afraid.”
Hu Ming listened intently, his eyes shining brightly. This was a godfather he had never known before.
Hu Ming's adoptive father usually seemed very serious and even a little fierce, but he knew that his adoptive father was the most loving and kindest person he could be to him.
In his memory, his adoptive father was the most outstanding person in the surrounding area and the first Jinshi (successful candidate in the highest imperial examination) in Zhangzhou Prefecture. Hu Ming believed that his adoptive father was diligent in his studies and received careful instruction from teachers from all walks of life.
Just like Master Zheng, who often mentioned his adoptive father and was proud to have him as a student.
Then there's Master Hong, whose favorite student is his godfather. He says that no student can compare to his godfather in fulfilling his grand ambition.
Hu Ming thought that on the road to learning, every teacher regarded his adoptive father as a treasure, and he never thought that any teacher would reject his adoptive father.
It turns out that success for every scholar is hard-won, and they all experience various difficulties.
Hu Ming thought about it carefully and said earnestly, "Godfather, if I encounter any difficulties in my studies in the future, I will learn from you and never give up."
Sun Shan smiled even more happily, his face full of love: "Good son, I'm very pleased that you think this way."
Hu Ming said again, "Godfather, please tell me more about your journey to education. I want to hear it."
Since Hu Ming was so interested, Sun Shan didn't want to spoil the fun.
Tell him about all the good and embarrassing things that happened to me at the college.
They talked and talked until the moon was high in the sky, and then Sister Yun came looking for them.
Sun Shan waved his hand and said, "I'll sleep with Hu Ming tonight."
Hu Ming was overjoyed and nodded hurriedly: "Godfather, Hu Ming wants to sleep with you too."
