On the main road from the direction of Chenzhou, many people came again.

However, it did not look like a hungry people, but a group of officers and soldiers, and there were a large number of grain trucks in the rear, and there was no end in sight.

Fan Yu gasped, and looked at the direction of Xihua County again, this thing was really done today.

As soon as he saw these grain trucks, he knew that Bao Zheng must have sent grain to Xihua County according to his advice in the letter, and supported them to work for relief here.

But he had just sent away thousands of hungry people, and if he let those hungry people know that the food was behind him, he would probably turn around and run back and kill himself.

Just as Fan Yu was thinking nonsense on the side of the road, a person stepped out of the long line and patted him on the shoulder.

"Brother Fan, it's only been a few days, and I'm back again." Zhan Zhao looked at Fan Yu's appearance and couldn't help laughing.

Fan Yu came back to his senses at this time, and said to Zhan Zhao: "Brother Zhan came back very timely, I have a lot of hungry people here at once, and I don't know how to raise food, as soon as you send these grains, I am greatly relieved." ”

Zhan Zhao said with a smile: "If it weren't for Zhao Hu, he found that there were many hungry people in Caoqiao Town, and I wouldn't have been in such a hurry to transport grain here." You are still anxious, and it is good to worry about the people, but you must not act recklessly. It attracted a lot of hungry people at once, and if something happened, how could it be cleaned up. ”

Fan Yugang wanted to explain, but Zhan Zhao waved his hand and didn't give him a chance.

Pointing to the grain truck team behind him, Zhan Zhao continued: "Master Bao is very grateful to you for your advice, and thank you for being the first to stand up and recruit hungry people to share his worries, so he asked me to send 10,000 stone of grain over first." I'll leave half of it for you here, and I'll send the rest to Xihua County, okay? ”

Fan Yu immediately didn't want to explain, why should such a reputation of being anxious and righteous and hot-blooded be pushed out. You can't say that someone else harmed you, you were forced.

With a wry smile, Fan Yu nodded and said, "Brother Zhan is still partial to me, and half of the grain is left here in Caoqiao Town, and the younger brother remembers this feeling." It's just that most of the hungry people who have already come have been taken by me to Xihua County to find Wang Zhubo, and now I have fewer people here, only less than 2,000 people. ”

Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows, looked at Fan Yu and said, "You sent everyone to Wang Feng, how can he settle it?" ”

"My big brother Zhan." Fan Yu had to explain to him: "Wang Zhu Bo is the chief in charge of money and grain in Xihua County, and I also greeted him a few days ago, hoping that he can raise grain from neighboring counties. In addition to the Jialu River in front of Xihua, there is also a larger Yingshui River to strengthen the embankment and dredge the river, and naturally more manpower is used. Regardless of whether the king is prepared or not, Brother Zhan's grain is transported over, and the problem of eating thousands of people will not be a problem for at least one or two months. ”

"In that case, I will also go to Xihua County and send him the remaining 5,000 stone grain." Zhan Zhao nodded.

Fan Yu said strangely: "Brother Zhan, I have few people here, why do you have to leave as much as 5,000 stone of grain?" ”

Zhan Zhao said with a smile: "I'm afraid that there will be hungry people here here, so I'd rather have more than worry about it." Even if you can't run out of food here, you can transfer it to the nearest Xihua County. No matter how you don't make a mistake, it has the advantage of deployment. ”

"It's still Brother Zhan's thoughtfulness." Fan Yu knew that this was Zhanzhao taking care of himself.

In order to complete the task as soon as possible, Zhanzhao did not stay long in Caoqiao Town. He sent the promised 5,000 stone of grain to the ancestral hall in the town, and then rushed to Xihua County with the rest of the people.

Fan Yu returned home after dark, and his whole person was almost tired and fell apart. It was a sturdy and busy day, and I didn't even have time to sit.

As soon as he pushed the door and entered the house, he saw two little girls standing next to his stepmother-in-law, Granny Li.

The eldest is only eleven or twelve years old, and the younger one is only eight or nine years old. These two little girls are none other than the two granddaughters of Chen Laohan's family. Now the two of them, one left and one right, are supporting their stepmother Granny Li, looking at Fan Yu with a very nervous expression.

Fan Yu didn't know why, so he asked, "Mother, why are their two children here?" ”

Granny Li smiled: "It's Uncle Chen's decision, saying that my eyes are inconvenient, so let his two granddaughters come to serve me." The mother originally didn't agree, but Chen Laohan insisted on it, and finally threw down the two children and ran away, unable to call them back. ”

Fan Yu couldn't help but shake his head, "This old man Chen is too polite, who raises a daughter is not pampered." not only learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also learn to be a good female celebrity, how can they be willing to let them serve others. ”

The atmosphere of the Great Song Dynasty is to favor women over men, and the cultivation of girls is not less contemptuous than that of boys. If it is the home of ordinary people, more attention is paid to the cultivation of girls.

"We volunteered to serve my mother-in-law." When the older girl heard Fan Yu's words, she said a little timidly: "My eldest father said that Fan Langjun is a good person, and it is a blessing for us to follow Fan Langjun as our sister." And the big daddy also said that Fan Langjun is a filial person, and if you want to please Fan Langjun, you must serve your mother-in-law well. ”

Before Fan Yu asked, the little girl had already recruited herself.

The other, who was even younger, saw his sister talking, so he also mustered up the courage to say softly: "Big Daddy also told us that if we want to eat enough every day, we should stay at Fan Langjun's house." ”

The words of the two little girls who had no city government made Fan Yu and Granny Li really can't help it, and laughed in unison.

Chen Laohan's careful thoughts, Fan Yu and Granny Li didn't care. It is difficult to survive under natural and man-made disasters, and there is nothing to blame for doing so.

"What's the name of the two of you, I can't call it every day." Fan Yu asked the two sisters with a smile.

"My mother has already asked, the eldest sister is called Chen Fang at the age of eleven, and the second sister is called Chen Yuan at the age of nine. Although the two of them are still young, they can also cook good meals, and the female celebrities are not bad. Mother-in-law Li said: "Today's meal was made by the two of them, Yu'er is tired of a day, hurry up and come in to eat." ”

Chen Fang glanced at Chen Yuan, and Xiao Chen Yuan immediately ran into the house, "I'll make tea for Lang Jun to quench his thirst." ”

It seems that the two sisters, when they were at home, were trained by the Chen family a lot, and they were very eye-catching.

Fan Yu shook his head, knowing that it was impossible to send these two little girls back at this time. If they were sent back, they were afraid that Old Man Chen would think that he would have any opinions about their Chen family, but he was afraid that he would be panicked.

After thinking about it, he felt that it was better to wait for the famine in Chenzhou to pass, and then send these two little girls home.

After entering the house, Fan Yu raised his eyes and found that the walls in the house had been painted with lime and had not even dried yet.

And the tables and chairs for eating have also been replaced with new ones. The style of the table and chair is simple and heavy, and the carving is also simple and atmospheric, which is very good. It's just that the table and chair haven't even been painted, so it's a bit rushed.

"Mother, when did we buy our tables and chairs?" Fan Yu couldn't help but say strangely.

"This is not bought, it is made by Zhang's family." Granny Li couldn't help laughing, "It's also a coincidence, Mr. Chen's family are all masons, and Mr. Zhang is also proficient in carpentry work." You asked the two of them to repair the house, but you chose the right person. ”

Fan Yu didn't think that these two families could perform, but he didn't expect to give himself an unexpected surprise.

With such craftsmen in hand, it would be a bit condescending to let them only repair the houses.
