Chapter 879 Reunion Dinner and Sharing of Things [2]

"You should also take some steamed buns and meat dishes." Kang Rong reminded in a high-pitched voice, afraid that Kang Lang would ask him for food.

After hearing this, Kang Lang went to get the steamed buns.

Unfortunately, they had already been snatched away by Si Pei and his friends. More than a dozen people stretched out their hands to protect the dining table, not allowing Kang Lang to take it, and glared at him.

Kang Lang had no choice but to give up and followed Ying Zilin and the others to the big kitchen in the backyard.

Zhou Rong was shouting to the students: "Don't be discouraged, classmates. Let's clean up this area and we will definitely be able to have food!"

Well, he tried really hard, but it was just talk and no practical progress.

Ying Zilin said nothing and went into the kitchen to take a look. Well, the fire was put out quickly, and after cleaning up, the kitchen could still be used.

Not long after, Ying Zilin walked out of the kitchen and stood next to Zhou Rong, obviously having something to say to the students.

Zhou Rong kept chattering, obviously not wanting to give Ying Zilin a chance to speak.

Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!

Kang Rong rang the small copper bell he carried with him: "Classmates, please be quiet for a moment. Brother Ying has something to say!"

Zhou Rong was almost mad with anger. Kang Rong relied on the fact that he was a direct descendant of the Kang family to not give him any face.

Kang Rong laughed to death. I am the direct descendant of the Kang family, and I should give you face?

Besides, Ying Zilin's family background is stronger than mine, and he is favored by Duke Yan, Master Jing, and Master Xun. If I don't help him, how can I help you? Wouldn't I lose money then?

The students also habitually looked at Ying Zilin, and Zhou Rong could only shut up.

Ying Zilin said, "My fellow students, the teacher does not allow our servants outside to bring food in. This is a test for us. We must pass this test."

"Jia, you know the chores. Take your classmates outside and set up a few stoves to prepare the food."

"Brother Qu, take your men to carry the ingredients to the well so we can clean them. Bring the knives for cutting vegetables, as well as the pots, bowls, and pans..."

"Two classmates from the Kang family, take people to chop firewood and make a fire..."

"Today's dinner may be served very late, but I promise that everyone will have a good meal!"

In a private room on the second floor, Mr. Xun looked down at the kitchen through the window.

"Yeah, it sounds quite passionate, and the tasks are well assigned. I just don't know if there will be any problems halfway through." Old man Xun said with a look of anticipation.

After all, Ying Zilin is still in the talking stage.

Master Qiong: "Let them do whatever they want. If they can't even feed themselves, they deserve to starve to death."

Mr. Jing was really angry.

He had not expected that these students, who were so good at writing poetry, songs, essays and policy papers, were so ignorant of common affairs.

And burned down the kitchen!

The fire in the kitchen started because those students from good families excluded Jia Xiang and deliberately ignored him.

As a result, the kitchen burned down.

retribution!

Even Mr. Jing was delighted by the result.

"Hey, poor kid, you are obsessed." Old Xun said, "They are still young, it is normal for them to make mistakes, the most precious thing is that they know how to correct it. Look at Si Pei, how unlucky he is, he almost died of anger, but now he has changed his mind, isn't he integrating into the country life?"

Master Jing was startled and bowed to Master Xun: "Master, your words have enlightened me. Master, rest assured, I will be more patient in teaching this group of students."

But, Elder Xun changed the subject and said, "Don't be too patient. You should slap them when necessary. If you coax them too much, how can they contribute to Northeast Province? Maybe when the war starts, they will not think about using all the family's strength to help Northeast Province fight the war, but will think about using the family's strength to escape. Then, wouldn't Duke Yan's plan be in vain?"

You have to know that these students are not students, but hostages of various families.

However, this truth cannot be said publicly, lest the students become upset.

"Please rest assured, Master." Master Jing responded, and his eyes became firm as he looked at the students... As a person of this land, he would not let his good plans for this land go to waste.

"Okay, let them do what they want first. Let's eat." Mr. Xun was too lazy to look at the students. He went back to the table, sat down, and continued to eat happily.

“Yes.” Mr. Jing cooperated with Mr. Xun to have the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion dinner together, and they also made pomelo lanterns with pomelo peels together.

only……

"Master, when the New Year comes, let's find some gourds to make gourd lanterns."

When he was a child, he accompanied his master to make gourd lanterns for Xiaoqiong Temple.

The gourd lamp is much more beautiful than the pomelo lamp, and it is also sturdy and durable.

Xun Lao: "Okay, but you send someone to do the work, and I, an old man, will just give instructions. That old gourd is very hard and too difficult to carve. I, an old man, won't do it."

Master Jing smiled and said, "Okay, I will do the work, and the master can just sit back and give orders."

……

The Qin, Jiang, Xu and Qiao families had finished their reunion dinner, and their children were playing with Mid-Autumn Festival lanterns in a sentry box halfway down the street.

"Just play in the middle of the street. Don't run out of the sentry post. It's not safe outside now. Do you hear me?!" Qin Dashi's wife, Qin Dayan's wife, Mrs. Su, and Aunt Xu Qiao told the children.

He also asked Yao Dayan and Yao Baimei to protect them.

"Yes, we will protect the young masters every step of the way." Yao Dayan and Yao Baimei responded, and they were also wary of the new group of mountain people.

Su also packed two small bags of various snacks and gave them to the two of them: "Take them and eat them. It's a festival today."

"Thank you, Mrs. Quan." The two thanked her, took the small bag, hung it around their waists, and ate while watching the children.

Not long after, the doors and windows of the Qin family's shop were closed.

Six large boxes with machine levers were moved to the front bunk. Uncle Qin took a bunch of small keys and tried to open the six boxes for a long time.

"Come on, come on, let's divide the first box. Here are the deeds for our various families' properties in the capital. Line up and take them according to your name."

"Mmmm!" Grandma Qin Liu wanted to shout that she would be the first to get it, but her two grown sons covered her mouth.

"Mom, please be quiet. Otherwise, if my niece Xiaomi gets angry, you won't be able to get the things... These are just some of them. There are still many truckloads of supplies outside."

There were too many supplies to be escorted back, so Uncle Qin and Jiang Dalang only moved a few boxes of valuable items back home.

The rest will be distributed after the festival.

"Hmm!" Qin Liupo nodded, indicating that she would be honest and would never do anything strange at such a critical moment.

Unfortunately, the three Yingjiemei siblings didn't believe her at all and continued to cover her mouth.

"Sixth Aunt, we're at your house." Uncle Qin glanced at Old Six Qin's house and said, "Mei Zi, come and pick her up."

Hmm, Hmm, Hmm, Qin Liupo was not convinced, but unfortunately she didn't dare to do anything.

Qin Mei went to pick up the small box for purchasing real estate in the capital on behalf of her family.

Uncle Qin said, "When you enter the house, remember to take your house deeds and land deeds. If anyone dares to withhold them privately, you can come to Xiaomi and Xiaomi will punish her."

Point at Qin Liupo openly.

"Okay, I've got that in mind. Thank you, cousin Zhuang, and thank you, niece Xiaomi." Qin Mei felt warm in her heart and smiled easily.

Bang bang, Uncle Qin patted the second box and said, "Next, we will distribute the gold. One bag for each family. Come and claim it in the order as before... Those who didn't get enough silver notes must make up for it as soon as possible."

With the help of Duke Yan's influence, Uncle Qin and his men were able to exchange more gold than expected, so the silver notes given by each family were not enough.

"Hey, hey, hey, let's make it up tonight." Several families suppressed their excitement and spoke in low voices.

This time, each family exchanged it for 100 taels of gold, which was a lifetime of life-saving money in one go.
