Pan Qingping immediately went to the yard to set up the carriage, and Shen Lan also walked over, at this time Zhao Yuan had already tied up the person, even the child's mouth had been blocked, but when Shen Lan passed by, the child still looked at her with wolf-like fierce eyes, Shen Lan always felt that this look was a little familiar, but she couldn't remember it for a while, so she simply didn't want to.

Pan Qingping got the carriage and drove the carriage out of the back door, Shen Lan got into the carriage outside, and Pan Qingping drove the carriage towards the outside of the town, this time no one made it bad, Pan Qingping drove the carriage to Songjia Village leisurely, Songjia Village did not change much, after all, Shen Lan left for a short time, even if there was a change, it was not obvious that there was a change, but there was someone guarding the entrance of the village, and Shen Lan opened the car door and showed her face before letting go.

Because she was in the carriage, Shen Lan didn't meet anyone, and Pan Qingping drove the carriage directly to the door of Shen Lan's house, Shen Lan walked down from the car, and the door of her house was locked, Shen Lan didn't go in, but asked Pan Qingping to wait for a while, and she herself walked towards Song San's sister-in-law's house.

When she arrived outside Song San's sister-in-law's house, Shen Lan shouted at the open door, and after a while, Song Lian's voice immediately sounded, and then Song Lian ran out of the house.

"Auntie, are you back?" Song Lian asked.

Shen Lan nodded with a smile, took out a handful of cherries from her sleeve and handed it over, in fact, she blocked the view with her sleeve and took it directly from the space, and said with a smile: "Yes, take it, this is what my aunt invited you to eat, by the way, what about your father?" ”

Song Lian was not polite, and replied after taking the cherry: "They went to the field, the beans and buckwheat in the field are ripe, my father said that they would take it back, recently a lot of people begging for rice came to the village to wander, and my father said that if they don't take it back, they will be stolen." ”

Hearing this, Shen Lan nodded, and asked, "Can you go to the field and get your father back, I have something to discuss with him." ”

Song Lian nodded, and continued, "That aunt will help me look after the house for a while." ”*+

When Shen Lan nodded, she turned around and entered the house, and after a while, she ran out of the house empty-handed, beckoned Shen Lan to come in and sit, and then trotted out of the door.

Shen Lan sat for a long time, and Song Wenyou ran in from outside sweating profusely, and when he saw Shen Lan grinning, he asked anxiously, "Brother and sister are back?" What's the matter with me? ”

"Third brother, I have something to look for you, I want to collect some grain, soybeans and black beans recently, do you and other families have any excess to sell?" Shen Lan asked straight to the point.

Song Wenyou had sold Shen Lan's grain before, and when he heard her say this at this time, he couldn't help asking, "Aren't there still a lot of food in my younger sisters' hands?" ”

"I don't hide it from the third brother, this is entrusted to me to collect this, if someone of the third brother's family wants to sell it, it is better to sell it to me." Shen Landao.

Song Wenyou nodded, because he had to pay rent, no matter whether the harvest was good or not, he was afraid that the crops he harvested would have to be sold, otherwise where would he have the money to pay the rent?

"By the way, third brother, I won't let you help in vain with this matter, now that the year is not good, I will give you another twenty yuan for each stone of grain you help me collect, what do you think?" Shen Lan didn't want to watch the people she was familiar with have a bad life, before Song Sange promised to help her watch the old mansion, guard the grain, and don't take a penny, now that life is not good, Shen Lan naturally wants to give him a little, but she doesn't have much money in her own hands, and the commission she gives can't be too high.

Song Wenyou just wanted to refuse, but when he thought of this year's New Year, he couldn't open his mouth, so he lowered his head and was reluctant to look at Shen Lan.

"The third brother is unwilling? Is it because of the lack of money? When Shen Lan saw it, she couldn't help asking.

Song Wenyou shook his head, and then said sullenly: "Brother and sister, you can already help the third brother by accepting the food from the third brother's family, and you should have helped you, but this year is really bad, the third brother is ashamed, Wenxiang entrusted you to me and your third sister-in-law, and now I want you to take care of us, I feel uncomfortable." ”

Shen Lan was also a little moved when she heard this, thinking that she came here, it was indeed thanks to Song San's occasional mention, but now that Song Sange said this, she felt a little uncomfortable.

"The third brother is outside, you help me do things, and it is a matter of course for me to give you a commission, and besides, it's good for everyone to come and go often, otherwise isn't the love rusty?" Shen Lan persuaded.

Song Wenyou nodded ashamedly, wiped his eyes before smiling a little embarrassedly and said, "Let my younger brother and sister laugh." ”

Shen Lan pursed her lips and smiled, and then said: "Tomorrow, someone will come to the old mansion to drag away the grain I collected before, and then I will trouble the third brother to help take care of some, and this house will be used as a warehouse in the future, and the grain you help collect will be put in there, if you collect too much, you will send someone to send me a letter, and I will let someone pull the grain, what do you think?" ”

Song Wenyou nodded, indicating that he understood.

"In addition, tomorrow I will have someone send you the money for collecting grain, I don't know if anyone in the third brother's family is literate?" Shen Lan asked.

Song Wenyou was stunned, and then his face was embarrassed.

Shen Lan also knew the situation when she saw it, so she thought for a while and said: "In this way, I will teach you some simple counting methods, and when the time comes, I will make a booklet, and you will record how many things you receive each time, and then I will come back every ten days and settle the things in the booklet, what do you think?" ”

Song Wenyou suddenly showed joy, nodded unconsciously, and said in response: "Okay, just do what my brother and sister say." ”

So Shen Lan taught Song Wenyou ten Arabic numerals, and then the decimal system also said, although Song Wenyou came into contact with numbers for the first time, but as long as Shen Lan told him which symbol represented which number, he could quickly accept it, after all, he had a certain basis in calculation, these are all from daily life, such as buying and selling food, buying things in the shop, and other life experience, but I can't write or understand, as long as people can still understand it with a little dialing.

Shen Lan doesn't need him to calculate anything, as long as he records it, Shen Lan plans to calculate what by himself, or hand it over to the shopkeeper Xu, so the most basic record should be difficult for Song Wenyou, because Shen Lan teaches it simply, so it is not difficult for Song Wenyou to learn, Shen Lan asked Song Lian to find a chicken feather out, and then taught Song Wenyou to dip it with water and write those numbers on the table, the quill pen is much harder than the brush, and it will not be too troublesome to use, so soon Song Wenyou will be able to write the numbers decently, and Shen Lan can put her mind at ease, Song Lian, who was watching from the other side, was also eager to try, and she also took chicken feathers to imitate on the side.

Shen Lan couldn't help but smile when she saw it, and suddenly had an idea, so she opened her mouth and said to Song Wenyou: "Third brother, if you don't worry, it's better to let Lianniang go back with me for one night, I will teach her these numbers carefully, and let her watch me make a booklet on the side, and let her tell you more carefully when the time comes." ”

Song Wenyou looked at Song Lian suspiciously, and then at Shen Lan, before he spoke cautiously: "Can Lianniang do it?" ”

Shen Lan smiled and nodded, it's not a difficult thing, she is planning to use hieroglyphs to make a booklet, and when the time comes, she will draw a rice ear, buckwheat will draw a leaf, black beans will draw a solid black circle, soybeans will draw a hollow circle, sorghum will draw sorghum ears, corn will draw the appearance of corn cobs, draw a scale where the weight is placed, draw a copper plate where the money is, and draw a sun where the date is, so if you can't understand it, then Shen Lan can't help it.

Song Wenyou hesitated for a moment and nodded, asking Song Lian to go to the house to pack a burden, and he himself accompanied Shen Lan to the old mansion.

Shen Lan mainly took Pan Qingping to check the grain, Pan Qingping looked at the room full of golden grain, his eyes suddenly lit up, his eyes squinted with a smile, it seems that the decision of the big boss is right, so much grain is enough for the brothers in the village to eat for a while, this Song lady can be called a timely rain.

Pan Qingping instructed Song Wenyou to lock the door, and then watch the grain, and then send someone to pull it away tomorrow, after Song Wenyou saw Pan Qingping, he completely believed that Shen Lan was helping people buy food, and his heart was completely relaxed.

After seeing the food, Pan Qingping was going back, Shen Lan naturally disagreed, in addition to Songjia Village, she also had to go to Linchun Village, her mother's family also had a lot of food, and now because of the influx of displaced people, she felt that holding these grains in her hands might not be a good thing, but would cause disaster, so she wanted to see if she could also sell the grain, and then let her father and mother take her sisters to rent a small courtyard in the county, after all, there is a city wall in the county, and it is relatively close to the official mansion, and the damage to the homeless people is relatively light.

Even if you don't go to the county, if you go to Yuanjiaji, Yuanjiaji is a big town after all, the population is obviously more than Linchun Village, and it is not far from the Black Tiger Village, those people in the Black Tiger Village are all bandits, compared to the officers and soldiers, if Yuan Jiaji can't stay anymore, he can still hide in the village, anyway, Shen Lan has his own space, and going to the Black Tiger Village will not only not cause trouble, maybe it will also make the people in the village live better.

In addition, Shen Lan only helped Black Tiger Village to purchase materials, how could she leave a good impression in front of Yuan Tian, if something bad really happened, even if Yuan Tian refused to take Shen Lan in, Shen Lan could also use this favor to convince him, which is also the reason why Shen Lan worked so hard to help Black Tiger Village.

Pan Qingping learned that Shen Lan could still get food, so he naturally didn't say a word, and immediately agreed to Shen Lan's suggestion that he wanted to drive the carriage to Shenjia Village, Shen Lan first asked him to drive the car to the door of Song Wenyou's house, and then asked him to drive the car to Linchun Village after picking up Song Lian.
