Chapter 17: Is the Young Grandma the Survivor?

It's still the account room of Tongdatang...

Compared with yesterday's rustiness that was only a 'two-sided relationship', today the two are obviously familiar with each other...

Pei Xueyan poured the tea, took out a piece of paper from the account book, handed it over and said, "Well, the arithmetic you wrote last time was copied by me." ”

"Oh?"

Liu Shen took the paper in disbelief, looked it up and down, and muttered: "This arithmetic is indeed what I wrote when I calculated the weight of the Bodhisattva statue that day, but this paper... How did the folds become like this? ”

“……”

Pei Xueyan's face stiffened when she heard this, as if she had thought of something, and her earlobes were a little hot.

She stretched out her hand to put the broken hair on her forehead behind her ear to hide her dodging eyes, and said casually: "I copied it that day, but I couldn't understand the arithmetic, and I was a little embarrassed, so I crumpled it casually. ”

"I see..."

Liu Shen nodded and didn't care much, and said with a smile: "The science of arithmetic is broad and profound, and the young grandmother can say anything she wants to ask." ”

He has the blessing of Su Hui, and he doesn't dare to say that in terms of arithmetic, he is more than a contemporary person, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a dimensionality reduction blow...

"This ...... This ......"

Pei Xueyan came to his side, pointed to the small characters representing volume and cube on the paper, and asked with hope in her eyes, "What do these symbols mean?" ”

“……”

Liu Shen thought of Su Huizhong's junior high school physics knowledge and opened his mouth, but for a while he didn't know how to explain the concepts of 'volume' and 'cube' to her...

Just now he was full of confidence in asking for arithmetic, but now he is embarrassed, the key is not because he can't, but because he doesn't know how to teach...

“……”

Liu Shen was silent for a while before he said, "Young grandmother, please forgive me, this thing is a bit too much for you now. ”

Pei Xueyan blinked blankly when she heard this, and asked, "What is Chaogang?" ”

"It's just too hard..."

“……”

The two men in the room looked at each other, and both fell silent.

Pei Xueyan was shocked, and when he was expressionless, he took out the account book from the side, took out an abacus, and put it in front of him together.

Looking at Liu Shen's puzzled gaze, she said calmly: "If you can calculate the accounts in this account book in half an hour, I will believe what you say." ”

“……”

Liu Shen also knew that although what he said just now was true, it was somewhat hurtful, so he didn't shirk it at the moment, took the account book and flipped through it without saying a word.

Pei Xueyan looked at him curiously, seeing that he didn't use an abacus, and only paused for a few breaths every time he flipped through the account book, he turned to the next page, thinking that he had looked at it in advance, and then calculated.

But when she looked at it, she felt that something was wrong, because the account book was about to be turned over.

"You're... Forget it? ”

"Forget it."

"Then you don't need an abacus?"

"No..."

Liu Shen learned to be smart this time, and didn't say anything that hurt people's self-esteem, such as 'I am mentally calculated faster than I plan', 'I don't need it', but said: "I am calculating in my heart..."

"Having a plan?"

Pei Xueyan sneered, obviously thinking of some ambiguity, and quipped: "Then what kind of calculation do you have in your heart?" ”

"Alright..."

"Huh? What's good? ”

"Forget it."

In order to avoid blurting out too hurtful words, Liu Shen pinched his fingers pretendedly, and then said: "The total account of this account book is two thousand seven hundred and forty-six twenty-eight yuan. ”

“……”

Pei Xueyan blinked blankly, as if she couldn't believe that someone could calculate the accounts so quickly.

She called the shopkeeper, gave him the account book, and explained: "Calculate this account, remember to find a few more guys, you must be fast." ”

"Yes..."

The shopkeeper of Tongdatang didn't know why, and thought that there was a problem with the accounts, so he hurriedly called a few guys to account for the accounts.

And Pei Xueyan was blank and didn't say a word, as if her self-confidence had been greatly hit.

About the time of a stick of incense.

The old shopkeeper and a few jobs were calculated, and he handed over the account book and said, "Back to the young grandmother, the total account is two thousand seven hundred and fifty-six twenty-seven yuan." ”

"Wrong! Liu Shen, you miscalculated!! ”

Pei Xueyan heard that the answer given by the old shopkeeper was different from Liu Shen's, her eyes suddenly brightened, and she shouted: "Liu Shen, did you hear it, you miscalculated!" ”

It seems that only Liu Shen's miscalculation can make her feel that she is not so stupid...

“……”

Liu Shen pursed his lips, took the account book and looked through it roughly, and said: "The shopkeeper has a lot of people when he calculates the accounts, he should have miscalculated, why not calculate it again?" ”

The old shopkeeper's face froze, and he just wanted to refute, but when he saw that the young grandmother was looking at him with an unkind expression, he was so frightened that he hurriedly took the account book and recalculated it with a few guys.

After a while...

The old shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead after confirming it again and again, presented the account book again, and said with an old face: "Young grandma, what this guest officer said is right, Fang Cai really miscalculated, the correct account should be two thousand seven hundred and forty-six twenty-eight yuan." ”

"Two thousand seven hundred forty-six twenty-eight dollars..."

Pei Xueyan covered her mouth when she heard this number, and asked with a look of disbelief: "Are you sure this number is correct?" ”

"I'm sure..."

The old shopkeeper didn't know why the young grandmother was so surprised, but he knew that this matter was related to his own job, so he patted his chest and promised: "I was just trying to make a quick mistake, there was a little mistake, this time I worked carefully with a few guys, checked it several times, and there was no possibility of error, it was two thousand seven hundred and forty-six twenty-eight dollars." ”

“……”

Pei Xueyan's gaze kept wandering over Liu Shen and the old shopkeeper, and after a long time, he waved his hand and signaled them to retreat.

Liu Shen drank tea leisurely, and only after seeing that everyone had left did he joke in a teasing tone: "Young grandma should believe it now, right?" ”

"Believe ......"

Pei Xueyan's expression was very complicated, showing the resentment of being hit on her face, but she secretly poked and poked in her heart: "What kind of jade is this, this is obviously a treasure."

She seemed to think of something, and said with a slight movement in her eyes: "Liu Shen, can you do me a favor?" ”

"Isn't it true that the young grandmother is outside."

Liu Shen said with a smile: "Young grandma's words helped me solve the livelihood problems of Yuan Xiaofei and Yu Hong's brother and sister, which is a great favor for me, and I remember this favor." ”

His voice paused, and he said: "If there is anything about the young grandmother, please speak up, as long as it is within Liu's ability, there is no other word!" ”

"Good, good..."

Pei Xueyan said hello three times in a row before holding back her mood and said, "I want to ask you to help me check the accounts of the Song family's industry!" ”

"Check the accounts of the Song family's property with the young grandmother?"

Liu Shen frowned slightly when he heard this, and asked quite incomprehensibly: "The Song family has been based in Heyang County for many years, and there are not a few industries under it, so why not let the young grandmother check the accounts yourself?" ”

"It's not what it used to be."

Pei Xueyan seemed to think of something sad, and explained with a lot of resentment: "The only son of the Song family, that is, my husband died of illness a few years ago, and now Master Song is old, and his body is deteriorating due to the pain of losing his son. ”

"Is the young grandmother a widow?"

Liu Shen blurted out after grabbing the key words, but regretted it after saying the words, and hurriedly explained: "Sorry, I didn't mean that." ”

"What does that mean?"

Pei Xueyan glanced at him in a little surprise and said, "My husband is sick in bed, and the Song family married me Chongxi, but I became a surviving person in less than half a year after I passed the door, isn't this known to everyone in the south of the city?" ”

“……”

Liu Shen was silent, I really want to say that I am a migrant worker who sells myself at the wharf, not from the south of the city...
