    It¡¯s the end of the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye.

    During this period, Sun Yuanqi visited Mr. Conger at the American Embassy and gave him some gifts to express his gratitude.  Mr. Conger took out the samples and royalties sent by "Science" and "Nature", as well as a dozen letters.  The remuneration was good, and the combined silver dollar amount was nearly three hundred yuan.  As for the letters, most of them were for advice or questions, but there were also two or three letters from universities or physics societies, inviting Sun Yuanqi to give lectures or lectures.  These schools, mainly in the United States, would definitely go there if they were placed in the 21st century.  Nowadays, across the ocean, we can only take a ship. A round trip takes several months, so we can only decline.

    Lao Zhao¡¯s family has completely settled down.  The yard is not big and there are not many things to do. In addition to cleaning the yard every day, I just do laundry and cook.  It's really not a heavy job for six people to do such a small job.  Sun Yuanqi ordered them to change a few more clothes: on the one hand, they should change frequently and maintain hygiene.  These days, it¡¯s common for Beijingers to wear a cotton robe to spend the entire winter.  Sun Yuanqi thought this was not possible. Beijing was so dusty and there were dirt roads everywhere. Within a few days, there was a layer of dirt on the clothes. How could they not be washed?  On the other hand, the Chinese New Year is almost here, so there must be something new.

    After this month of training, Lao Zhao and his family are obviously in better spirits. Their faces are rosy and their movements are strong. They are completely different from when they came.  The children, in particular, are much fairer.  Of course, it may also be the result of Sun Yuanqi urging them to practice hygiene every day.  The adults and children don't have to worry about food and clothing. The family is nice and they don't have to do heavy work. Therefore, Lao Zhao's family feels like they are living in heaven.

    Every morning, at dawn, Lao Zhao starts cleaning the yard, while Lao Zhao's family fetch water and wash clothes; 14-year-old Caizhu and 11-year-old Hongtao boil water and cook; the two boys help everywhere.  Not helpful.  When Sun Yuanqi came out, Da Mao was responsible for bringing hot water and towels to the main room.  After washing up, it¡¯s almost time to have breakfast.  After dinner, Sun Yuanqi either went to class, or corrected homework, prepared lessons and wrote manuscripts.  Lao Zhao and his family were looking for work everywhere, such as cleaning the outside of the yard

    Now, as the New Year is approaching and Chongshi Middle School is on holiday again, Sun Yuanqi only thinks of visiting Mr. Sun Jia Nai.

    Old Zhao finished sweeping the yard, Sun Yuanqi also finished washing, and then prepared to eat.  When I first came here, there were no tables, it was just on a stone pier in the middle of the yard, which was inconvenient on rainy days.  So I asked Lao Zhao to buy an Eight Immortals table and place it in the main hall of the north room.  At the beginning of the meal, Lao Zhao and his family did not dare to eat with Sun Yuanqi.  According to the rules of the Qing Dynasty, the master eats first, and only after the meal is finished can the servants eat.  And only the master can eat in the main hall, and the servants usually eat in the kitchen or in their own rooms.

    Sun Yuanqi was born in the spring breeze and grew up under the red flag, so naturally he didn't pay attention to this.  Lao Zhao's family couldn't handle it, so they had to eat together.  Lao Tong saw it once and said that Lao Zhao's family had "broken the rules" and said, "Mr. Sun is just too kind."  Sun Yuanqi saw that Lao Tong was alone and it was inconvenient to eat, so he asked Da Mao and Er Mao to invite him to eat together.  Again and again, there were exactly eight people on the Eight Immortals table.

    When eating, Sun Yuanqi made the main table in the north by himself. No one ever came to sit with him. He called Lao Tong several times, but Lao Tong refused to come.  Lao Tong and Lao Zhao sat on the east side, with Lao Tong sitting at the head again.  Da Mao and Er Mao sit in the south.  Caizhu and Hongtao sat on the west side. Lao Zhao's family served food and rice, and then sat together with Caizhu.  I don't know if it was intentional or not, but Lao Zhao and the Lao Zhao family looked at Da Mao and Er Mao one by one.  Of all the dishes, Sun Yuanqi took the first chopstick from which plate, and everyone started eating from that plate.  If it is not clamped, no one will move.  Just "rules".  Sun Yuanqi didn't notice it at first, but he gradually became aware of it. He told him several times, but no one followed it.  Caizhu and Hongtao are girls, so naturally they won't go too far. Da Mao and Er Mao are not so particular. When they are interested, they can eat whatever they want and how they want.  Therefore, if Lao Zhao and Lao Zhao's family are on one side, if they dare to go out of line, they will be served with eyes and darts at the least, and slap or chopsticks at the worst.  The two boys were beaten, but they didn't even bother.  Just like that, the seat stabilized.  Every time we eat, as soon as Sun Yuanqi takes his seat, everyone takes their seats according to their seats, and then starts serving food.  As soon as Sun Yuanqi put down his chopsticks, the meal was over. Regardless of whether others had finished eating, Lao Zhao's Caizhu immediately stood up, cleared the dishes, and served tea and water.  Now, Sun Yuanqi had no choice but to chew slowly and wait until everyone had finished eating before putting down his chopsticks.

    Sun Yuan put down his chopsticks, took the tea from Caizhu, and then said to Lao Tong: "This year, I have been taking care of Master Sun, the great scholar, so I want to visit you today. I don't know much about the etiquette here.  I understand, so I want to trouble Lao Tong to go with me."

    Old Tong put down the tea cup and immediately agreed: "Anyway, there is nothing to do in the cold winter months. Besides, Mr. Sun's matter, even if it is something, it is nothing. Hit!"

    Sun Yuanqi smiled and said to Lao Zhao againnbsp;"Yes, Mr. Sun said that always occupying the house in the university hall will have a bad influence and others will gossip."

    Old Tong jumped to his feet and cursed: "Which little brat is just gossiping?! I'm going to fuck his eight generations of ancestors!!"

    Sun Yuanqi naturally didn¡¯t know and could only laugh it off.  Lao Tong didn't say anything and was depressed all the way.

    After returning to Ma Shen Shen¡¯s residence, Lao Tong Zi went back.  Sun Yuanqi, however, asked Lao Zhao and his family to pack up the unimportant things and prepare to move.  Although the house deed has not yet been delivered, I guess this great-uncle will not deceive me.

    When it was time to eat lunch, I sent Da Mao to call Lao Tong, but Lao Tong couldn't explain.  Sun Yuanqi didn't doubt his presence, just thought he had other things to do.  At dinner time, Da Mao went to call, but Lao Tong still didn't come.  Sun Yuanqi was a little confused and thought to himself: What is happening to this old Tong?  But it¡¯s hard to ask.

    Early the next morning, Sun Jianai¡¯s house indeed sent someone to deliver the house deed.  Sun Yuanqi wanted to follow the Sun family servants with Lao Tong and Lao Zhao to see the house first.  He sent Lao Zhao to call Lao Tong, but Lao Tong couldn't shirk him.  Sun Yuanqi was even more confused.

    Seeing Sun Yuanqi¡¯s confused look, Old Zhao hesitated and said, ¡°Sir, Old Tong has something on his mind¡±

    "Well, what's going on? Tell me, Lao Zhao."

    "Sir, you are the best and good man in the world, and Lao Tong is reluctant to let you go" Lao Zhao meant something.

    Listen to the gong and listen to the sound, and listen to the sound when speaking.  Sun Yuanqi understood: "Does Lao Tong want to leave with us? But what will happen to the concierge of the university hall when he leaves? Go and summon Lao Tong and see what he plans!"

    This time, Lao Tong came quickly. When he saw Sun Yuanqi, he knelt down and said, "Mr. Sun, please give me a bowl of rice!"

    Sun Yuan stood up and immediately stepped forward to help Old Tong up: "Old Tong, it's a shame to say that! In the past, you were always the one who took care of me. Now, if you are not afraid of hardship, will you move here with us?"

    "Thank you, Mr. Sun!" Lao Tong burst into tears and runny nose.

    Sun Yuanqi had no choice but to talk about other things: "If you leave, what will happen to the concierge of the university hall?"

    Lao Tong wiped his tears with his sleeves and said, "I've thought about it. Don't I have a brother? He has three sons, and the family lives on a few acres of thin farmland. Life is very tight. When I leave,  I asked his old son to take my place, so I can make a stable living, which is much better than digging for food in the dirt! From now on, you guys will also have someone to take care of you"

    It seems that Lao Tong had already planned it, and Sun Yuanqi agreed.  Lao Tong immediately became energetic and followed Lao Zhao and others to see the new house. He ran back and forth, as if he regarded himself as the "Steward of the Sun Mansion".

    Sun Jia Nai¡¯s yard in Shichahai is said to be ¡°a bit shabby¡±, but it is actually very neat.  The courtyard with two entrances is not very deep, but it has many more rooms than the quadrangle when I lived in the university hall. There were twenty or thirty rooms in total.  When Sun Yuan arrived, there was a family waiting at the door.  The servant sent by Sun Jia Nai introduced: "This is the servant in the house!"

    There are four people in this family, a middle-aged couple in their thirties, an eighty-nine-year-old son, and a five- or six-year-old daughter. They all look quite honest.  Seeing Sun Yuanqi get out of the car, they knelt down together.  After the girl knelt down with the adults, she wanted to look up at Sun Yuanqi, but her mother held her head down.

    The servant sent by Sun Jia Nai said: "This man is the grand-nephew of the old man, and is currently a teacher at the Capital University. The old man thinks highly of him, so he transferred this house to him. You all must take good care of him! If you neglect,  The boss can be spared, but the family law cannot be spared!"

    The family kowtowed repeatedly, saying "they dare not".

    Only then did Sun Yuanqi realize that the house was given as a gift to the servants.

    The surname of this family is Zheng, and the head of the family is Zheng Yousan, who has attended private school for several years. The two children, one named Jingxian and the other Jingyi, are pink and white, and come from a wealthy family!  Compared with Da Mao and Er Mao from the old Zhao family, they are many times stronger.  After returning home, Lao Zhao begged Sun Yuanqi to give Da Mao and Er Mao good names, at least not to lose their status in front of the Zheng family.  Sun Yuanqi didn't have much ink in his belly, but he couldn't bear Lao Zhao's begging, so he named them Jing Xing and Jing Fan respectively.

    When we moved to our new home, there were more than a dozen people in the yard, big and small, and it immediately became lively.  In the excitement and emptiness, Sun Yuanqi ushered in the Spring Festival of the 25th year of Guangxu's reign.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
