After farming, I opened a family tree

Chapter 235 Dinner incident

The cooks had already prepared the food and were waiting to serve it to the students.

When the students washed their hands and returned to the classroom, a large bucket of rice and several fragrant dishes had been placed in front of the classroom.

It smells like meat!

Shen Tang also prepared the school’s diet according to some nutritional combinations from later generations.

Scrambled eggs with green onions, braised pork, stir-fried green vegetables, and bone soup.

Even the most well-behaved children will inevitably get excited when they see such a sumptuous meal.

This looks delicious.

Sure enough, at this moment, the advantages of girls over boys emerged.

Many boys couldn't hold back and came forward to surround the food, and some even started pushing each other.

On the other hand, the girls, although they all stretched their necks, were still sitting quietly in their seats.

Each person had a big bowl. The cook and the maid each served rice and dishes. The children lined up and each had a bowl.

"Eat more. Come back for more if you don't have enough food."

The cook was also a soft-hearted person. Seeing these children wolfing down their food, she couldn't help but speak out out of pity.

Sure enough, after these words were spoken, the eyes of some of the older children lit up.

Can I have more after finishing this meal?

Can he eat two bowls of rice?

That’s great, he likes reading.

Some older children are in the growing stage, but they are usually only given one bowl of rice at home.

The cook noticed that several girls' eyes turned red when they ate their meals.

But I also noticed that several girls covered their bowls tightly.

"What are you hiding? Show me."

The cook walked over to the girl.

"me--"

The little girl didn't seem to expect that her secret act was seen by others.

As he stood up, the piece of cloth hidden in his arms fell out.

There was nothing else on it but braised pork and scrambled eggs.

The girl's face flushed.

"I didn't steal the vegetables. I just wanted to take them home."

The girl stammered and spoke hurriedly.

The cook's face showed an expression of "as expected".

“Taking food from the school home without permission is stealing from the school.

I've also noticed that this happened to some of you, and this is just one incident. If it happens again, you won't have to come to school.

The food in the school is for you to eat while studying. If you don’t study well in school, you just want to take the food home.

You weren't taught to do such things in school."

As early as the morning when preparing food, Shen Tang gave some instructions to the cooks.

"Most of these children come from poor families. Some of them, whether they have received instructions from their families or they miss home, will definitely think of bringing good food home. When the time comes, several aunts..."

As the cook spoke sternly, she sighed in her heart that Ning Anhou was so foresighted at such a young age and could even think of such a small matter.

Shen Tang: It’s not that I’m so predictable, but she has encountered this kind of thing before.

Sure enough, after the cook said this, the little girl's eyes were filled with tears.

"I didn't. I didn't mean to. I didn't want to leave the school. I wanted to study. Woo woo woo woo. I won't dare to do that again."

But when I went out in the morning, my father and grandmother told me to bring back some food from school for my younger brother.

The teacher in the school was patient and gentle, and the cook was also very enthusiastic. She thought she would not be discovered if she secretly hid the meat in her bowl.

I didn't expect it to be so serious.

The little girl squatted down while crying and tried to pick up the meat that fell on the ground, but was stopped by the cook.

"I'm not targeting you, but the school has its own rules. You are all educated girls, how could you do such a thing? This is not only embarrassing for the school and the teachers, but even more embarrassing for you.

If people knew that you were doing such things while studying, you would be laughed to death.

How many girls cannot go to school? You have such a good opportunity, you should seize it.

This meat has fallen to the ground and cannot be eaten. Auntie will make you a new one.

In school, when it's time to study, study hard, and when it's time to eat, eat well. You are still young, and it is the time for you to grow.

Study hard in the future. This school belongs to Marquis Ning'an. You all know Marquis Ning'an. If you study well in the future, you can work for Marquis Ning'an. That would be truly respectable.

Even if she can't work for Ning Anhou, this educated girl is not comparable to ordinary people."

These words are what the cook herself really thinks.

It’s a pity that her granddaughter was just born, otherwise she would have sent her here to study.

Sure enough, after hearing this, the little girl cried even harder.

If the cook aunt beat her or scolded her, she might feel better.

But the cook aunt just told her not to do that again and made her a new one.

Her heart felt bitter but warm.

School is much better than home.

Yes, Aunt Cook is right.

Their families sent them to school so that they could have enough food to eat, but what about them?

Is it really just to be able to have a full meal?

Have a full meal at noon, then go home hungry?

After eating for a month, if you fail the assessment, will you be sent home?

Almost all the girls here clenched their chopsticks tightly.

This kind of thing happens not only to female students, but also to male students.

"My father is not in good health. All the money at home has been spent on his medical treatment. He hasn't eaten meat for a long time. I want him to have some meat. I want him to know that the food at my school is very good."

A little boy in his teens lowered his head and spoke.

"I won't eat this meal. Can you please not kick me out of school? My father is waiting for me to study and take the exam to become a scholar."

The cook also talked about the seriousness of taking food home.

The little boy finished the bowl of rice with red eyes.

After the meal, all the students received a note.

It was a note with their names on it.

"This is your name, keep it."

The children carefully touched the words written on the note, fearing that the decree would be crumpled.

"This afternoon, we will learn to write."

Study in the morning and learn to write in the afternoon.

This is the school’s phased arrangement.

Although there were some minor incidents on the first day of school, it did not affect the children's enthusiasm.

The afternoon class is only an hour and a half long, and then we are dismissed.

When everyone was about to leave school, the little boy from noon was left behind.

"Child, take this back with you."

The cook put a package into the boy's hands.

"The Marquis said that you are a filial child. I hope you will not let your parents down or yourself down in the future."

The boy didn't know what to do and was about to refuse when he saw the cook smiling and waving her hand, indicating that he should go home.

On the shabby table, the package was opened and there was a wooden bowl with a lid.

When the wooden bowl was opened, it was filled with braised pork.

The boy looked at the wooden bowl and tears welled up in his eyes.

Even after many years, when the young man was in power in the court, there was still a wooden bowl hidden in the most precious box in his home.
