Friendship still exists, for example, this time, the Xie family from the north first arrived in the south, which is equivalent to re-establishing the foundation, especially in this great migration, due to the problem of materials and food, a part of the population had to be discarded, which is a major loss for the whole family, and the rich life of life has completely become the past, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea have become the top priority of the current head of the family, Xie Kun.

The Xie family had already sent a clan to the south to expand their roots here, but the development was not very good, and the sudden influx of tens of thousands of people immediately made the Jiangnan branch feel the pressure.

The arrangement of personnel, housing, accommodation, etc., etc., are quite tricky. And the most fundamental is the food problem, this is already the top priority, the family slaves are tens of thousands, eating and drinking, every day is a huge number, even if some food is reserved in advance, in the current view, it is just a drop in the bucket.

Xie Kun held a bowl of gruel that could illuminate his shadow, drank it slowly, and saw that the bowl of the little grandson sitting next to him was empty, and he was looking at his bowl with his eyes, so he smiled dotingly, drank the remaining half of the bowl of porridge with many rice grains, and poured it into the bowl of the little grandson.

The little grandson stood up respectfully and pushed the bowl back: "Grandpa is tired of things, he should eat well, his grandson is still young, a bowl of gruel is enough." ”

The children of the big family are valued by all families in terms of upbringing. They are the hope of the future of the whole family, so each family has set up its own clan's school, using the respected elders of their own clan to teach their own unique knowledge, and also hiring outside Confucianism to teach all kinds of knowledge, as much as possible to carry out the integration of all rivers, so that their family's knowledge is more profound and profound.

Although the little grandson is young, he was educated by the family to understand the rules of etiquette, of course, a bowl of gruel can not fill his stomach at all, as the so-called half-grown son eats Lao Tzu to death, so he quietly peeked at his grandfather's porridge bowl, that is just nature, and has nothing to do with etiquette education.

Xie Kun touched the little grandson's head dotingly, "Grandpa is old, and the amount of food is already light, you children, when you are growing your body, you should eat more." Then he raised his head and commanded the butler who was standing respectfully at the door: "From this day onwards, all the children of the clan under the age of age will be gathered together separately and the rations will be doubled according to the data we have rated." ”

The old housekeeper Xie Fu grinned in embarrassment: "If you do what the master instructs, the entire family will have one or two hundred children, and the food consumed will be—"

Xie Kun shook his head: "Don't be bitter, adults would rather be hungry again, and they must ensure that the children eat well, even if they are half full." This matter is settled, and as for the food problem, I am trying to find a way to solve it. ”

After giving these orders, Xie Kun returned to his study, and now calligraphy has become the office area of the entire family, and it is no longer Xie Heng's original private place, which is also no way, because these people are pouring in, and the house is too tense.

As soon as he entered the study, he was attracted by the huge noise inside, Xie Kun couldn't help frowning, stood at the door of the study, and snorted majestically. With a snort, the noise inside came to an abrupt end.

"There are so many things, why do you still have the leisure to make noise and noise? Still not at ease? ”

The people in the room immediately bowed down together, and then returned to their places, and continued their work, but they saw several young men, still blushing and looking at each other with thick necks. And a young nephew, after sitting back in his position, buried his head, Xie Kun was careful, and found that this nephew had two tears falling on the account book.

Xie Kun couldn't help frowning, and walked in front of him: "I remember that your name is Xie Yun, you should be from the north, what can make a seven-foot man cry?" ”

The nephew hurriedly stood up and bowed down again, "So that the head of the family knows that when the nephew comes out of the south, it is inevitable that the water and soil will not be satisfied, and his heart will be depressed, and he will remember the homeland in the north and be very sad, so he will cry bitterly and ask the head of the family to forgive." ”

When he said this, his voice was melancholy and his eyes were hesitant, and in the eyes of the old and sophisticated Xie Kun, he immediately found that he was against his will. So his whole face sank, and he said seriously: "Being square is the fundamental, there are many lies, how can you be a gentleman?" What you just said is completely against your will, why did you deceive me, an old man? ”

This person named Xie Yun immediately knelt on the ground and apologized repeatedly: "It's not that my nephew deceived my uncle's family, we are from the north, you are a person who has left your hometown and has no home, and you have defected to your old man's home, but you have brought great trouble and difficulties to your old man's family, and I am ashamed in my heart." ”

Xie Kun stood in front of his head: "The major affairs in the world are decided by the superiors, although our family is big, we still can't control our own destiny, which is also our sorrow, but you just said that you have no homeland, so you left your hometown to join us, this assertion is very wrong, this is your home, you are not here to join us, you are going home, but you don't think much about this, it is natural for the family to help each other, how to say the bastard words that dragged down, I will punish you for such thoughts, and you will go to the courtyard now and receive the ten lashes of the family law. ”

After kowtowing again to make amends, the liberation obediently went to the courtyard and was whipped by the elders of the family.

Xie Kun put his hands behind his back and watched this nephew grit his teeth, enduring the whip without saying a word, and was so pleased with his toughness, this nephew will definitely be a character in the future.

After his ten lashes were finished, Xie Kun suddenly turned to face all the people in the room and asked, "Who just said the nonsense of rejecting the brothers of the Northern Family, stand up for me." ”

His roar immediately made the room silent again, and everyone couldn't help but look at a young man, he was Xie Qing, the boss of the old fifth family.

Xie Qing stood up without hesitation: "That's what I said, I think when we went south, how difficult it was to start a business After more than ten years of hard work, it took more than ten years of hard work to open this family business in this place where snakes and insects are full of miasma, but this time northerners are flocking here, why do they want to take our family property for nothing?" ”

Xie Kun said coldly: "He is our brother and sister. ”

Xie Qing stalked his neck: "What about brothers and sisters?" As the old saying goes, brothers need to settle accounts, and our family's ancient precepts say well, resolutely expel those who do not work hard, this group of people from the north, isn't it not that they get it for nothing. ”

Xie Kun continued to say lightly: "The story of the family is also well said, brothers are in trouble, they must help each other, and the nuclear boat is total." ”

"Of course, brothers help when they are in trouble, but there must also be a scale, that is called what we can do, head of the family, look at what we have become now? Look at my little brothers, little sisters, who used to be full of food and drink and innocent, working hard to study and be taught, and then you look at the present, they are all yellow and thin and listless, which is all due to the northerners. ”

Xie Kun continued with his hands behind his back: "The family depends on the efforts of all people to prosper, and the northern family has caused us temporary difficulties, but it has increased our population, brought advanced technology, and a broad and profound family cultural heritage, only in this way can our family develop and flourish, and I now express my anger at your narrow-mindedness." ”

Then he turned around and shouted to several elders in the courtyard: "Tomorrow a family meeting will be held, and the family precepts will be read again, and then this Xie Qing will be directly caned to death, and he will be precautioned for those who are narrow-minded, narrow-minded, and disagreeing in the future." ”

This is the foundation of the development of the big family, and everything is based on the overall interests of the family as the first priority.
