Seeing that the Spring Festival was approaching, Pan Shiyao returned home after the twenty-third sacrifice. Their unit sent New Year's goods to the unification, 20 catties of rice and 5 catties of soybean oil, plus two packs of melon seeds and peanuts, thinking that when they came back for the New Year, they would have to eat and drink at home, Pan Shiyao tied these things to the back seat of the bicycle and brought them back, and he gave Zhang Xuelan 50 yuan.

Fifty yuan is almost worth his two months' salary, Zhang Xuelan is reluctant to ask for it, feeling sorry for her son It is not easy to earn money, Zhang Xuelan said, "I have money in my hand, and now I and you don't need you to support you, you take care of yourself, don't let me worry about you anymore, you keep this money yourself, and when Xiuying gives birth to a child, you have more money to spend." ”

Having said that, Pan Shiyao still insisted on stuffing the money to Zhang Xuelan, and said, "It's going to be the New Year soon, there are so many people in the family, you have to spend money on food and drink, you and Ada's money is rich, this is my intention, mother, you take it, keep you and Ada's clothes and food." ”

Zhang Xuelan didn't shirk it, but she still couldn't stop being happy in her heart, her son was thinking about her as an old lady, could she not be happy!

After the twenty-third sacrifice stove, the cleaning, steamed steamed buns, steamed buns, fried vegetable balls, fried melon seeds, peanuts, these tasks have to be done. Zhang Xuelan felt that she was busy every day, there were a lot of miscellaneous things, and the things listed in front of her came one after another, doing the same thing every day, and she did it until the Chinese New Year's Eve.

During this period, no matter what Zhang Xuelan does, she will let Xiuying give her a hand, and she can't stop calling Xiuying, Xiuying doesn't dare to show Zhang Xuelan's face, when she sleeps at night, she lies in Pan Shiyao's arms, and she has to mutter about what work she has done today, she is almost exhausted.

Pan Shiyao listened carefully to her chatter, stroked her big belly and couldn't help but comfort her, "We have little time to pay homage to Ah Da Niang, it's rare to come back, and you should do some work, if you feel too tired and wait to return to the city after the New Year, I will do more work to make up for your success?" ”

Hearing Pan Shiyao say this, Xiuying felt a lot more comfortable, she didn't really want Pan Shiyao to help her work, let alone intentionally instruct Pan Shiyao to quarrel with his mother, she was just too aggrieved during the day, if she didn't find someone to vent, she would go crazy.

During the New Year, everyone in the family was busy, and no one paid attention to Xiuying's love. The closer to the Chinese New Year, the better the business of the old Pan family's grocery store, the old farmers are busy from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, and they are reluctant to eat and drink all year round, so they can 'luxury' during the New Year, and they can eat and drink well, so the old Pan family sells other things in general, only tobacco, alcohol and snacks sell the best, and they were once sold out.

If you can't connect the goods, it will be equivalent to cutting off the financial route, Pan Yang can't help but feel anxious. Milk, the planned economic system is so cheating, if you want to buy a product, you have to see if there is any goods for you.

Pan Shiyao said, "Ada, if it really doesn't work, I'll go to our captain again and ask him to see if he can be accommodating and send us a batch of goods." ”

This is not an easy thing to do, you must know that Pan Shiyao and their trade manager department every time the goods transferred from outside are arranged and delegated from above, according to the county, town, township, village, level by level to the supply and marketing cooperatives or departments, like the old Pan family's 'illegal' grocery stores, is not within their supply range.

Pan Yang said, "I'm afraid this is too embarrassing for your captain." ”

Because of the matter of the old Pan family's grocery store, Pan Shiyao has used Fang Jianguo's relationship a lot, and now Pan Yang is also afraid of always annoying others, so he can't go away.

Pan Shiyao said, "There's really no way, we have to give it a try, make up for it later, and I will pay it back slowly after I owe the captain a favor." ”

Pan Yang said, "That's done, he can use us in the future, and we will try our best to help him." ”

After the father and son agreed, Pan Shiyao did not interrupt, and immediately rode back to the county with Pan Yang, and brought the game caught from the mountains during this time ago to Fang Jianguo to visit.

Transporting goods privately really makes Fang Jianguo embarrassed, this is not a trivial matter, if he knows about it, he will have to lose his job. Fang Jianguo thought for a long time, and then he thought of a compromise method, he said to Pan Yang, "Old Pan, you don't think this is successful, I don't dare to transfer the qualified goods to you, I will find someone from Linxian County to adjust the defective products for you, that is, you may be more troublesome, you have to pick up the goods yourself, if you think it is worth it, I will give you a contact immediately." ”

Why don't you just spend a fare back and forth, it's still very cost-effective, and Pan Yang almost didn't hesitate to get down. After Fang Jianguo got in touch, Pan Yang father and son went to Linxian together, and took a car back and forth that day, and when they went, they were empty-handed, and after they came back, they were wrapped in big bags and small bags, and when they rushed back to the county, it was too late to ride a bicycle home, and the father and son had to stay overnight in the county.

Pan Yang was grateful to Fang Jianguo, and invited Fang Jianguo to have a light meal, after two glasses of wine, Fang Jianguo couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Old Pan, help me persuade Shiyao, this kid doesn't want to do it here, why do you want to resign and do it alone, isn't it embarrassing for me, he is my old helper."

If it weren't for Fang Jianguo's mouth, Pan Yang wouldn't know that Pan Shiyao was going to resign and work alone, and endured the shock in his heart, and after the meal was over, Pan Yang immediately grabbed Pan Shiyao and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to resign?" ”

Pan Shiyao pushed the bicycle with one hand, kicked the stone under his feet, and said half-loudly, "It's not sudden, I've been thinking about it for a long time, and I'll submit my resignation report when I come back to the new year." ”

Pan Yang then asked, "Do you have any plans to do anything?" ”

Pan Shiyao said, "Let's do some small business first, I haven't thought about what to do yet, Ada, you also said before, Xiaoximen's house is in a good location, no matter what you do, you won't lose money, it's better than me getting a dead salary of about 30 yuan a month." ”

The child has his own ideas, and it is not something that Pan Yang can control, and Pan Yang knows in his heart that Pan Shiyao is not relying on her grandfather to make a fortune in business, and now Pan Yang can only say to him, "You can think clearly, if there is a place where you need Ada's help, you can talk to Ada." ”

Pan Shiyao said, "Ada's efforts to buy me a house have been enough, I'm already old, don't worry about Ada, it's good that I learned to drive a car in the trade manager department, this ability is not for everyone, it won't stump me."

Hearing Pan Shiyao say this, Pan Yang was somewhat relieved, Pan Shiyao was not Pan Shixun, he was the most thoughtful among the brothers, not so much that he was Pan Yang's son, but more like a brother, Pan Yang learned a lot from him.

After getting the source of goods, the old Pan's grocery store was able to operate normally, and after the year and the year, there were many people who came to visit relatives and friends to get the goods, not only the people from their Panjia Village came to buy, but also the people who passed by outside the village had to carry some things. Pan Yang calculated, this Spring Festival old Pan family grocery store actually made a profit of more than 200 yuan, which can be regarded as a big income!

After seven or nine years, the next generation of the old Pan family is finally here!

It was the morning of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Xiuying had a faint pain in her stomach after getting up, she didn't pay attention to it at first, because she always had labor pains these days, she told Zhang Xuelan about it, Zhang Xuelan told her with experience, "There is more or less this phenomenon before labor, it is not a big deal, it may hurt twice a day, and the closer it is to the number of pains, the denser the number of pains"

Xiuying has been in pain for a few days, I didn't expect the pain to be so frequent today, today is a small year, and I have to make dumplings and eat another meal in the evening, and in the afternoon when she was rolling the dough, the amniotic water broke and flowed down her pants

At that time, Pan Yang was sweeping the yard, and when she saw Xiuying screaming in pain, she was startled, she had never seen the scene of giving birth, and she was so shocked that she didn't know what to do.

Pan Shiyao was even more at a loss, staying where he was, not losing the father and son, a fool!

Zhang Xuelan scolded angrily, "What are you doing standing stupidly, one went to the fifth uncle's house to drive the old donkey, and the other came to help Xiuying, I can't help her." ”

The father and son came back to their senses, Pan Yang was busy catching the donkey cart, and Pan Shiyao was half-supporting and half-hugging Xiuying to move to the gate.

Zhang Xuelan had already gone back to the house to pack up the things she wanted to give birth, straw paper, towels, small quilts for wrapping children, and diapers sewn from torn sheets

After everything was cleaned up, Pan Yang also drove the donkey cart over, and after they jointly lifted Xiuying into the donkey cart, Zhang Xuelan hugged a quilt from home and covered Xiuying

In this era, those with better conditions would go to the commune hospital to spend two or three yuan to give birth, and those with poor conditions would give birth directly at home, and their mother-in-law would help deliver the baby.

Originally, Zhang Xuelan wanted Xiuying to give birth directly at home, but Pan Yang insisted on disagreeing, it is better to have a child than to go through the ghost gate, and the home is unhygienic, what if you are infected, the current medical level is so poor, it will harm a human life.

There is only one retired doctor from the county hospital in the commune hospital, and he is responsible for all the medical problems of the entire commune, and he can do everything about women and children, and now he is also here to deliver Xiuying.

Xiuying saw that it was an old man who was going to deliver her, and her eyes widened instantly, shouting that she wanted to go home and let her mother-in-law deliver her, this is a man, how convenient! She still wants to see people!

At the beginning, Zhang Xuelan let Xiuying give birth at home, on the one hand, she also took this into account, this era is still relatively conservative, especially women in rural areas, they care about these things, and always feel that even if the other party is a doctor, as long as it is a man, it is embarrassing for him to see the place where he gave birth.

Xiuying didn't want to stay anymore, let Pan Shiyao help her, she wanted to go home!

Pan Yang roared loudly, "Okay, lie down for me!" It's all this time, I still care about these haves or not, in front of the doctor, there is no distinction between men and women, and I will lie down in this life! ”

It's probably because Pan Yang has never been angry in front of Xiuying, why did she see Pan Yang yelling at her, Xiuying was still a little afraid, so she could only lie down on the bed obediently, not to mention that she was really in pain, and she always felt that something was going to come out from below in the next second

The commune hospital is two small bungalows, Xiuying is giving birth in the middle, they are all waiting outside, I thought it would be a long time, but I didn't expect that within an hour, the child fell to the ground, and there was a cry of a baby inside.

This loud cry made Zhang Xuelan very happy, but before she was happy for a minute, the old doctor inside came out and said to Zhang Xuelan, "I gave birth to a girl." ”

Zhang Xuelan's original smile froze on her face like this, and she let out a half-loud sound, put away the smile on her face, and said disappointedly, "Girl? ”
