The matter of ethnography is progressing very quickly. The ethnography was originally built by the Guogong Mansion, and the place covers a large area, but there are not many venues that can be used in Yongdao. Even if there were many gentlemen, they did not live in it, so there was still a courtyard that was empty.

After the yard was cleaned up, the layout was changed and the kitchen was built, and then it was arranged inside. But it only took a few days to get it all set.

Then, Xing Shuang found someone to settle in, invited the gentleman from the school to come, and tried a few dishes.

A few foreigners thought it was good, no problem. Jia Dairu also felt that it tasted good, but after eating, Jia Dairu looked for Xing Shuang again and asked if the food was too good.

Xing Shuang was a little puzzled: "Don't you eat like this on weekdays?" ”

Dai Ru said: "Even the old man rarely eats meat on weekdays, and most of the children of these clans are poor. If the original intention is to suffer his mind, this food is too good, but I am afraid that it will backfire. ”

Xing Shuang said with a smile: "But this is the son of the clan, for the sake of the rise and fall of the family, it should be true that everyone should be strong and strong." If one by one the wind blows, even if you succeed, you won't have a chance to serve the family, right?

"Uncle is very hard, I know, but they are all a family, and I can't bear to see them starving. The major affairs in the clan are supervised by the master, and it is not easy for me as a woman to participate in them, so I have to pull them in this way. ”

Jia Dairu sighed: "He is worthy of being a well-known good person in Beijing, and the old man thanked the old man for his heart. ”

So after that day, a new directive was issued. Every student should be filial to his husband as a sign of respect.

There is no need to do much, just two people on duty, each time the classroom is cleaned up, and then serve as the daily tea supply for the gentlemen.

After some time, the cafeteria opened. The school announced that in the future, eating and drinking will not be allowed in the classroom, and if you want to eat, you need to go to the cafeteria to eat, and each person will only be charged ten copper per month.

Sure enough, as soon as the regulations of the canteen were announced, many poor children retreated. And Jia Dairu immediately announced that if there is something he doesn't want to pay, he only needs to be on duty three times a month to offset the meal money.

When the news was released, those children who were embarrassed to ask their families for food money immediately rejoiced. There are also students who have a lot of arrangements at home, and they are reluctant to be on duty due to time constraints, so they are happy to switch with them. As a result, those who have money do not have to be on duty, and those who have no money can eat for nothing, and everyone is happy.

After another period of time, it was Qingming and the school had a three-day holiday. Xing Shuang went to the Wang family to talk about the Qingming Festival to worship his ancestors, and met Jia Baoyu who was idle and playing with his mother.

As soon as he saw Xing Shuang, Jia Baoyu stood up straight and saluted solemnly.

Xing Shuang greeted Wang with a smile, and then looked at him and said: "What's the matter today, I used to be very coquettish, and when I saw me, I was coquettish, but now I'm so unfamiliar, I'm not used to it." ”

Baoyu hurriedly said: "It's not that I'm unfamiliar, it's just that I think of something in school, and I should thank my aunt for it." It's just that I've been busy with my studies and don't have time to come in. Now that I see my aunt, I naturally want to thank you solemnly. ”

Xing Shuang smiled: "I was just looking for someone to ask, but your brother has graduated now, and your brother has not officially enrolled in school, and no one has given me feedback." The cafeteria is open, what is happening now, are everyone fully fed? Have the people in the kitchen deprived you of your food? ”

Baoyu smiled: "It is precisely because of this that I want to thank my aunt." Nowadays, everyone is saying that they all praise my aunt as a good person.

"And the person my aunt is looking for is thoughtful, and there is no deduction, and every day at noon, it is also a combination of meat and vegetables. My aunt didn't know that many of my nephews and nephews came to me and wanted me to thank them on my behalf. Thanks to my aunt for this kind deed, it not only gave them a full meal, but also saved them a lot of embarrassment. ”

Xing Shuang nodded and smiled: "That's good, I'm not doing any good deeds, but thinking that we are all a family, it makes no sense for us to eat meat, but they can't even drink a sip of porridge." ”

Jia Baoyu admired it in his heart at the moment, he liked this aunt since he was a child, and felt that she was a kinder person than anyone else. Now seeing that she is still so humble, she is even more devastated.

Wang smiled: "Your aunt is such a person, you don't have to praise her anymore." It would be really strange if she didn't think about others one day. ”

After that, Wang asked Xing Shuang again: "What is the matter with you coming today?" ”

Xing Shuang smiled: "I'm afraid you'll laugh at me again." ”

Wang said: "You only talk about yours, laugh or laugh, and look at my mood." ”

Xing Shuang shook his head helplessly, and then mentioned the matter of worshipping ancestors in Qingming to the Wang family, and said: "Because when it comes to worshipping ancestors, I think of Zutianlai."

"Since beating the old lady, the family has maintained eight Zhuangzi, and has never bought any more clan fields. But there are more and more people in this family, and there are more and more side branches that separate from the family.

"Ever since I was in charge of the family, I have had a headache every year. This year-end harvest alone is not easy to divide. Although the tenants have been disciplined, they can always watch the sky and eat, and the harvest is more or less.

"Last year, for example, I lost half of my Zhuangzi, and there was almost nothing left in my family's farmland. Every household in the side branch of the clan can hardly get money, and even the lord has to pay for it.

"I thought, it's not a good thing to always rely on the sky to eat, it's better to do something else seriously, so that everyone doesn't sit and wait to starve to death."

When Wang heard this, he smiled and said to Baoyu: "Look, what am I talking about." said that she worries about people all day long, and this is thinking about it again. ”

After that, she turned back and laughed at Xing Shuang: "You are also a non-stop, isn't it enough to be busy with your own Zhuangzi shop every day?" Since ancient times, who hasn't relied on the clan field to eat? If you want to find another way, what can you do? Is it difficult to become a scholar and become a businessman? ”

Xing Shuang smiled: "Then why not?" Could it be that if it is not our shop, it is not a business? Really calculated, we are all businessmen. ”

Wang Zhengse said: "That's different, there are people in that shop, we just pay a capital and wait for the profits." If you really send your people to do business, they will feel that they have also lost their status. ”

Xing Shuang smiled: "The merchant refuses, so the head office is managed, right?" ”

Wang thought for a while, nodded and said, "This is better." ”

Xing Shuang said again: "It's just that now, I don't have an idea of what to do with business." This matter has to wait for the master to come back to deal with it. After all, it is really inappropriate for me to meddle in the affairs of the clan as a woman. ”

Baoyu said on the side: "Women don't let them have eyebrows, who said that women are inferior to people?" A woman like my aunt can't catch up with anyone else, so why should she care about the eyes of the world. ”

Xing Shuang sighed in her heart, this Baoyu is the same in the book, she never cares about the eyes of the world, and only does what she thinks is right. That's the only thing he can do, which is commendable. Now that he is no longer ridiculous, he still retains this character, which is commendable.
