After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 879 Reunion Dinner and Sharing of Things [2]

"Take some steamed buns and meat and vegetables too," Kang Rong reminded her in a raised tone, afraid that Kang Lang would ask her for food.

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

Unfortunately, Si Pei and his group had already snatched everything up. More than a dozen people even reached out to protect the table, not allowing Kang Lang to take anything, and glared at him together.

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

Zhou Rong was calling out to the students: "Fellow students, don't be discouraged. Let's clean up this area, and we'll definitely be able to eat!"

Yes, he really tried his best, but unfortunately he only talked and didn't make any useful progress.

Ying Zilin didn't say anything, but went into the main kitchen to take a look. Hmm, the fire was put out quickly, and after some cleaning up, the kitchen was still usable.

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

Zhou Rong kept chattering on and on, clearly not wanting to give Ying Zilin a chance to speak.

Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!

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

Zhou Rong was furious. This Kang Rong was showing no respect to him just because he was a direct descendant of the Kang family.

Kang Rong laughed to death. "I'm already a direct descendant of the Kang family, why should I give you face?"
Besides, Ying Zilin's family background is even stronger than mine, and he is favored by the Duke of Yan, Elder Qiong, and Elder Xun. If I don't help him, am I supposed to help you? Wouldn't I lose money?
The students all habitually looked at Ying Zilin, and Zhou Rong could only shut up.

Ying Zilin said, “Fellow students, the teacher forbids our servants from bringing us food. This is a test for us, and we must pass this test.”

“Junior Jia, you are good at administrative affairs. Take the classmate outside and set up a few stoves to prepare the ingredients.”

"Junior Qu, you and your men carry the ingredients to the well so we can wash them. Get the knives for chopping vegetables, and also the pots and pans..."

"The two classmates from the Kang family, take some people to chop firewood and start a fire..."

"Dinner might be late tonight, but I, Ying Zilin, promise that everyone will have a meal!"

In a private room on the second floor, Old Master Xun and Old Master Qiong peered through a crack in the window at the kitchen.

"Hmm, that sounds pretty exciting, and the tasks have been assigned well, but I wonder if things will fall apart halfway through," Old Man Xun said, looking on with amusement.

After all, Ying Zilin is currently only at the stage of talking.

Old Qiong: "Let them be. If they can't even feed themselves, they deserve to starve."

Old Qiong was truly enraged.

He never imagined that these scholars, who were so skilled at writing poetry, prose, and policy essays, would be so ignorant of practical matters.

They even burned down the kitchen!
The kitchen caught fire because the students from privileged backgrounds ostracized Jia Xiang and deliberately ignored him.

As a result, the kitchen burned down.

retribution!

Old Qiong was delighted with the result.

“Hey, poor kid, you’re getting carried away,” Old Xun said. “They’re still young, it’s normal for them to make mistakes. The most valuable thing is that they know how to correct them. Look at that kid Si Pei, how unlucky he was, he almost died of anger, but now he’s changed his mind and integrated into rural life.”

Master Qiong was taken aback and bowed to Master Xun: "Master's words have enlightened me. Master, rest assured, I will teach these students with even more patience."

Unexpectedly, Old Xun changed the subject and said, "Don't be too patient. If you have to slap them, then slap them. If you coax them too much, how can they contribute to the Northeast? Maybe once the war starts, they won't think about using their family's strength to help the Northeast fight the war, but instead think about using their family's strength to escape. Wouldn't that ruin the Duke of Yan's plan?"

It should be noted that these students were not students, but hostages from various families.

However, such blunt truths cannot be spoken publicly, lest the students turn against us.

"Please rest assured, Master." Master Qiong replied, his gaze towards the students becoming firm... As a native of this land, he could not allow any scheme for the good of this land to fail.

"Hmm, let them do what they want, let's eat." Old Master Xun, too lazy to watch the students, returned to the table and sat down to continue enjoying his meal. "Yes." Old Master Qiong cooperated with Old Master Xun, and together they ate the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion dinner, and even made a pomelo lantern out of pomelo peel.

only……

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

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

That gourd lamp is much prettier than the pomelo lamp, and it's also sturdy and durable.

Old Master Xun: "Alright, but you send someone to do it. I'll just give verbal instructions. That old gourd is very hard and too difficult to carve. I can't do it myself."

Master Qiong laughed: "Alright, disciple, you can do it. Master can just sit back and give instructions."

……

The Qin, Jiang, Xu, and Qiao families had also finished their reunion dinner, and the children were playing with Mid-Autumn Festival lanterns inside the half-street guard post.

"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, Su Shi, and Xu Qiao, the two aunties, were instructing the children.

They also instructed Yao Dayan and Yao Baimei to protect them.

"Yes, we will protect our young masters closely." Yao Dayan and Yao Baimei replied, while also keeping a close watch on the new mountain people.

Su also packed two small bags of various snacks and gave them to the two of them, saying, "Take these and eat them; it's a holiday today."

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

Before long, the doors and windows of the Qin family's residence were all closed.

Six large crates with clasps were moved to the front bunk. Uncle Qin Er took a handful of small keys and spent quite a while trying to open all six crates.

"Come on, let's divide the contents of the first box. Inside are the deeds to our respective properties in the capital. Line up and take them according to your names."

"Mmm!" Granny Qin wanted to shout that her family would be the first to take it, but her two older sons covered her mouth.

"Mom, please calm down, otherwise if my niece Xiaomi gets angry, you won't get anything... This is only part of it, there are still many truckloads of supplies outside."

There were too many supplies being escorted back, so Uncle Qin and Jiang Dalang only took these few boxes of valuable items home.

The rest can be distributed after the holiday.

"Mmm!" Granny Qin nodded, indicating that she would definitely behave herself and would not cause any trouble at such a crucial moment.

Unfortunately, Yingjie and his two siblings didn't believe her at all and continued to cover her mouth.

"Sixth Aunt, we've arrived at your house." Uncle Qin glanced at Qin Lao Liu's house and said, "Meizi, come and get her."

Ugh, Granny Qin was not convinced, but unfortunately she didn't dare to do anything about it.

Qin Mei, representing her family, went to collect the small box containing the property purchased in the capital.

Uncle Qin said, "You have half a house now. Remember to take your house deed and land deed with you. If anyone dares to keep them, come find Xiaomi. Xiaomi will deal with her."

They openly and honestly contacted Qin Laoliu and his wife.

"Okay, I've got it. Thank you, Brother Zhuang, and thank you, Nie Xiao Mi." Qin Mei felt a warmth in her heart and smiled easily.

Bang bang, Uncle Qin patted the second box and said, "Next, we'll distribute the gold, one bag per family, in the same order as before... Those who haven't received enough silver notes need to make up the difference as soon as possible."

Thanks to the Duke of Yan's influence, Uncle Qin and his group exchanged more gold than expected, so the silver notes they received from various households were insufficient.

"Hey, hey, hey, let's finish it tonight!" The families said in hushed voices, suppressing their barely contained excitement.

This time, each family received one hundred taels of gold, which was enough to save their lives in one go.
