After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 1111 Receiving Food
Dangdang Dangdang!
"Alright, stop talking nonsense and stop pushing. Everyone stand properly on the side of the road and don't block the grain delivery team! It's really dangerous if the animals pulling the carts get startled!" Lu Pangsan said earnestly, despite the pain in his throat.

He was also relieved that his children were all very obedient. If they were as rebellious as his fellow villagers, he would have to hang himself!

The rebellious villagers said, "Lu Pangsan, do you think we're some country bumpkins who've never seen a caravan before? Because of the Qin family, we see caravans every day. We know how to keep the animals from being startled, so don't worry about us."

He pointed to the gong in his hand and said, "Our cries aren't even as loud as your gong! If the livestock get startled, it's your fault!"

Lu Pangsan: "..."

Dangdang Dangdang!
He banged the gong so hard it almost broke, and shouted, "Get out of the way, everyone! Anyone who dares to obstruct official business again will have their child's place in the town's school revoked, and any children already enrolled will be expelled!"

Hissing sounds filled the air as Lu Pangsan gasped for breath, while the villagers raged, shouting, "You! You're using a trivial matter as an excuse! We won't accept this!"

Lu Pangsan: "I don't care if you submit or not, I only care if you obey. If you don't obey, I'll report your names to the clerk!"

Ah this?

"Hmph!" The villagers snorted, their mouths were not convinced, but their bodies were. They all retreated to the side of the road, some even not daring to step on the main road, for fear of harming their children and preventing them from going to school for free.

Lu Pangsan: "..."

I'm really fed up with you guys; you're a bunch of people who love to suffer the consequences.

The clanging and clattering of vehicles grew louder as they approached, and the grain delivery team could now be seen.

"They're here! The grain is here! Make way, everyone! If any scoundrel dares to startle the livestock and cause the grain cart to overturn, we'll go to their house, chop down their door, and smash their pots!"

The villagers were very excited and protective of the grain, fearing that the grain carts would overturn. They even spread their arms to block the people behind them, preventing them from pushing forward.

Lu Pangsan snorted coldly.

The clerk came over and handed him a pot of fruit tea to soothe his throat: "The villagers are the people who cherish grain the most, and they know how to manage it."

Behind the grain delivery convoy, a group of villagers followed all the way from the county town to the outpost of Taifeng Town, just to pick up any handfuls of rice or wheat that the convoy might have dropped.

"Thank you, Clerk Guan. I know they're not bad people; I was just arguing with them for fun." Lu Pangsan took the water bottle, drank a few sips, and then hung it on his waist.

The clerk, Guan, along with his clerks and soldiers, escorted by students from the local martial arts academy, went to receive the grain.

"Junior brothers Jie Kun and Jie Ren pay their respects to Uncle Guan." The two Jie family members came over together, bowed to the clerk Guan, and addressed him as uncle.

The clerk sighed inwardly, understanding their intentions with the Xie family, but he didn't expose them. He simply returned the greeting: "The two young masters of the Xie family have come to deliver the grain. Thank you for your hard work... Let's hand it over."

Jie Kun and Jie Ren were slightly taken aback... Guan Anong had not yet regained his identity, yet he showed no appreciation for their goodwill. Wasn't he afraid that their elders would not help him?

The two were only thirteen years old, a time of youthful arrogance, and not yet as skilled at acting as their elders; their emotions were showing on their faces.

However, the reason they were sent to Taifeng Town to interact with the Qin, Jiang, and Guan families was precisely because of their young age.

The older ones have already been sent over, but that didn't earn us any favors and only caused a lot of trouble for the Xie family.

This time, we'll just send the younger children; even if they make mistakes, it's because they're just kids who don't understand.
Children's occasional naiveté can sometimes be seen as cute by older people, which can have a positive effect.

“...Yes.” Jie Kun and Jie Ren responded, their faces showing a bit of anger, but the clerk Guan didn’t think much of it. On the contrary, he believed that young people should be like this. Show a cold face when unhappy, and smile when happy.

"Clerk Guan, please!" Chief Steward Xie, fearing that the two young masters would mess things up, hurriedly came out to guide them to Clerk Guan to hand over the grain.

"Send it to the large granary behind the Silifang and the town school granary. One granary can hold 20,000 catties, that should be enough." Clerk Guan specified the granary's location.

Upon hearing this, the cart drivers who brought the grain were all astonished. Life in Taifeng Town was indeed extremely good. This small rural town not only had a town school, but also two large granaries!

A large granary is something only found in county towns, but this small rural town has two. Even in years of famine, the whole town is not afraid.

Regardless of whether the county government opens its granaries for disaster relief, this town has two large granaries with enough grain to save lives!

No joke, the drivers started looking around the crowd, trying to find suitable candidates to marry their daughters off to people from Taifeng Town so they could get a share of the grain from those two large granaries.

Dangdang Dangdang!
Dangdang Dangdang!
As the gong sounded, Jie Kun and Jie Ren each led a group of men and shouted to the convoy: "The grain delivery team, split into two groups. One group will go with me to the Silifang granary, and the other group will go with Brother Ren to the town school granary!"

"Yes!" the drivers replied, leading their mule carts and following Jie Kun and Jie Ren in batches.

"Please." Qin Cunquan led the way for Jie Ren, heading towards the town's school.

Guan, the clerk, led Jie Kun to the large granary behind the Silifang... This granary was newly dug last year, and the land where it was dug belonged to the Wu village head.

In short, after the Wu Lizhang, Shuijing Wu family, and Kong family were dismissed, a lot of land and houses were added to Taifeng Town. Of these, half of the land and houses were kept by Silifang, and the other half were bought by the Qin, Jiang, Xu, Qiao, Xue, and Guan families.

Clang!

The vehicle swayed as it arrived at the large warehouse behind the town school, which greatly excited the children there. They were all distracted and wanted to run and see what was going on.

Master Pan refused, saying, "Every school keeps these kids inside, letting them hear the sounds and making them itch with desire, but they just won't let them go out."

students:"……"

Grandpa/Dad was right after all. Old Master Pan is the most annoying. He loves to go against his students and never gives them a reason why he does it!
However, after interacting with the Qin family, Master Xun, and Master Qiong, Master Pan had also made progress, and this time he gave a reason: "A wise man does not stand under a crumbling wall... A wise man remains calm and composed even in the face of thunder..."

He kept babbling on and on, but the children couldn't understand him; most of them didn't even know many words.

Old Master Pan: "..."

There was no other way but to explain it to them in plain language: "With so many vehicles in the convoy, it's dangerous. If you go, your vehicles might overturn and you could get injured, which would be putting yourselves in danger."

"In a hundred years of life, you will encounter all sorts of gossip and disputes every day. If you spend all your time joining in the fun, you will distract your mind and energy and achieve nothing!"

“Sir, but this doesn’t seem to be the meaning of a gentleman remaining calm and composed even in the face of thunder.” It was Xiao Fubao who said this.

Old Master Pan discovered that this kid, despite his chubby, sturdy, and honest appearance, was actually a troublemaker, a rather foolish one at that, unlike Qin Xiaomai, Qin Xiaogu, and Qin Jingyi, who were secretive troublemakers who knew how to protect themselves.

He's old and doesn't have the energy to deal with those three clever ones, but Xu Fubao... well, I heard he doesn't like doing his homework.

"Xu Fubao, you took three days off in February. You need to make up for those three days of homework and hand it in to school the day after tomorrow."

Xiao Fubao was stunned. After regaining his senses, he hurriedly went to see Qin Xiaomai and Qin Jingyi and asked them for help.
