Chapter 162 The Sun Family is Not Simple

After saying goodbye to Zhao and his group, Duan Minmin rushed straight to the Sun family.

As far as I can remember, the Sun family didn't interact much with the villagers. Duan Minmin could hardly remember what their family members looked like.

The Sun family’s yard is bigger than the village chief’s. It is located in a square shape in the north of the village, with few houses around.

Duan Minmin walked up and knocked on the door. Soon the door was opened and an old man stuck his head out.

"Who are you looking for?"

Duan Minmin was a little dazed looking at the unfamiliar face. This person didn't seem to be from the Sun family. She didn't have this face in her memory.

Seeing the man's puzzled expression, Duan Minmin reacted.

"I'm looking for Uncle Sun. I wonder if he's home."

"Oh~ Looking for the master, are you from this village?"

"That's right, I'm from Zhao Yuandong's family."

Duan Minmin answered respectfully, but she was shocked in her heart. The Sun family actually had servants. No wonder she had no memory of such a person.

"Then wait a moment, I'll go in and tell them." The old servant shrank back and closed the door again.

Duan Minmin nodded in agreement and stood aside. She didn't expect there were so many rules.

Soon, the door opened again and Duan Minmin was invited in.

As soon as you enter the gate, you will see a screen wall, and after passing through the screen wall is the hanging flower gate, and through the hanging flower gate is a spacious courtyard and a winding corridor.

Duan Minmin was shocked again. Isn't this a standard house for a wealthy family? Although it is not particularly large, of course it is not large compared to those wealthy families, but it has all kinds of supporting rooms.

Although she was shocked, Duan Minmin did not look around, which was impolite. She just glanced at him casually and followed the old servant towards the main room without looking away.

An old man was sitting at the stone table in front of the main room. It was Sun Wanshan.

Duan Minmin walked forward and called out respectfully, "Uncle Sun."

But now she felt a little regretful. Coming to such a nice house always felt like she was going to negotiate a big deal worth millions, but when she asked to buy some dried longan, she felt she couldn't open her mouth.

"My Far Eastern wife, please sit down." Sun Wanshan was not arrogant and directly poured a cup of tea for Duan Minmin.

Duan Minmin didn't hesitate and sat down. She picked up the cup of tea, took a sip, and her eyes lit up.

Although she didn't know much about tea, she could tell that this tea was definitely not ordinary. The Sun family was not simple.

Sun Wanshan didn't say anything either, but took a sip of tea with a smile on his face.

"Uncle Sun, I came here today to ask if you have any dried longan at home." Duan Minmin put down her teacup and asked respectfully.

There's no way. Now that I'm here, I can't just tell them that I'm here just to have a sip of your tea.

"Dried longan? There should be some. Sun Fu, go to the kitchen and take a look. Yuandong wife, how much do you want?" Sun Wanshan asked the old servant to take a look, then turned around and asked Duan Minmin.

"You don't need much, about half a pound will be fine."

It’s not that she is stingy, it’s just that the dried longan is not heavy, and half a pound is a lot. It is a good omen, so there is no need to have too much.

After Sun Fu left, only Duan Minmin and Sun Wanshan were left, and it seemed that there was no one else at home.

Duan Minmin remembered that she had met Sun Wanshan’s wife, son, and daughter-in-law before. They must have gone out for something today.

Just as I was thinking about finding something to talk about, Sun Wanshan spoke first.

"Far East Wife, what are you going to do with these dried longans?"

"Uncle Sun, Baozhu and I have discussed sending the children to the village chief uncle to learn to read and study, so we need to prepare the six gifts and tuition." Duan Minmin answered honestly.

Sun Wanshan put down the cup, touched his beard, and looked at Duan Minmin with inquiry in his eyes.

"You guys still know this?"

Duan Minmin realized that women in the village should not understand these things. Just as she was trying to find an excuse, Sun Wanshan spoke again.

"Good, good, you know how to respect your teachers. I heard that you also opened a factory in the village?"

Sun Wanshan was not prepared to ask any further questions and changed the subject.

Duan Minmin breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's right. We are cooperating with Jiang Ji to make something."

"You have changed a lot in the past two months. I heard that you used to sell ice jelly in the city and even went to the county government office. Now you have opened a factory."

Duan Minmin didn't know how to answer. She always felt that Sun Wanshan's eyes were full of insight and no lies could be hidden from him.

The fact that he knew all these things without leaving home was enough to show that he was definitely not an ordinary old man.

Fortunately, Sun Fu came out with some things at this time.

"Master, there are some dried longans here. It seems that the young master brought them back from Guangzhou some time ago."

Sun Wanshan did not continue to dwell on the previous topic.

"Far East Wife, take a look, is it possible?" Sun Wanshan waved his hand, signaling Sun Fu to put the things on the table.

Duan Minmin didn't feel comfortable looking at it any longer. She brought it back from Guangzhou specially, so how could it be wrong?

"Sure, sure. Thank you so much, Uncle Sun. I wonder how much this dried longan is worth?"

Sun Fu was about to speak, but at the signal from Sun Wanshan, he stopped and stood behind Sun Wanshan.

"It's not a rare thing. We shouldn't charge money for it. But you want to use it as a gift, so it wouldn't be good if you don't accept some money as a token of your appreciation. So, you can give me eighteen cents."

"Okay, okay~" Duan Minmin quickly counted out eighteen coins and handed them to Sun Fu.

Sun Fu looked at the eighteen coins in his hand with mixed feelings. This was something the young master had brought back from Guangzhou specially. It was said to be the fruit of the longan king tree, and it was reserved early every year by dignitaries.

If the young master didn’t know some people, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to buy it.

A pound of wet fruit costs five hundred coins, but the master sold this pound of dried fruit for only eighteen coins.

"Then I will go back first, Uncle Sun. I am really sorry to bother you today. Please come to my house when you have time."

Now that she has got the things, Duan Minmin can't stay in someone else's house anymore. Besides, Sun Wanshan seems to be something complicated, and it would be difficult to explain some things if she stays there any longer.

"Okay, go back. I'll go out for a walk some other day."

Sun Wanshan waved his hand.

Duan Minmin bowed again and walked out the door with the things in her hand.

Sun Fu sent Duan Minmin to the door, and Duan Minmin thanked him.

After closing the door, Sun Fu walked up to Sun Wanshan again.

"Master, why are you in such a good mood today?"

"Sun Fu, I feel like this village is suddenly becoming interesting. I want to go out for a walk someday."

Sun Wanshan did not give a direct answer. He stood up with his hands behind his back and went to look at the flowers planted in the yard.

Sun Fu was puzzled. This was how the whole village was. What was so interesting about it?

He couldn't figure it out and didn't ask more questions. Maybe the old lady went out for fun with the young master and the master felt a little lonely.

Duan Minmin ran all the way back home. The food was already prepared and the yard was filled with the aroma of food.

Mr. Chen and his family were also in the yard.

"Hey! I thought you were taken away by Hua Niu. How come you've been gone for such a long time? If you can't find you, then come back and think of a way." Zheng Yuan stood in the yard, wiping his hands.

"I've found them all. I asked Yu Lian for the lotus seeds. They also have celery. Let's go pick some before we leave tomorrow. They will be fresher. The dried longan is also available. I asked the Sun family for it." Duan Minmin took out the two bags in her arms.

"The Sun family? Sun Wanshan's family?"

"correct."

"You ran so far? How did you think of going to his house to ask for it? As far as I can remember, I didn't have much contact with them." Zheng Yuan was a little confused.

"This is a long story. I'll tell you in bed tonight. Let's have dinner first. Don't keep Mr. Jiang and the others waiting anxiously."

"Yes, yes, please take a seat. I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

Zheng Yuan reacted and quickly turned around to ask everyone to sit down.

"No, good food is never too late, and now is the perfect time. Madam is a great cook, the food is so delicious and tasty."

Jiang Dayou was not polite either. He sat down on the stool first and greeted Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen like the host.

"Come on, come on, uncle, auntie, come and sit down."
