Pan Shiyao said to Xiuying, "Xiuying, you take out the old cotton bed bedding and spread it in the hall, put the paper plates I took back from the unit on the ground, and make beds for them, and the two of us will go back to the dormitory to sleep tonight." ”

Hearing this, Xiuying was a little disappointed and said, "We haven't stayed in the new house for one night, and the beds in our house are also newly made."

Pan Shiyao saw Xiuying's reluctance, sighed, pulled her to sit down on the edge of the bed, and analyzed with her in a low voice, "Xiuying, you have to know that we can't live in this new house without my Ada's money. Besides, there will be more times in the future, the family is a family, and it has just begun, is it really appropriate for you to have this attitude?"

Listening to Pan Shiyao's analysis, Xiuying lowered her head and clasped her fingers without squeaking. Xiuying suddenly thought that when Ada-Dad said that she would help them buy a house, she swore to Ada-Niang, saying that when they would come to live in a small house, her man was right, it was just the beginning now, she felt uncomfortable, what about the future?

Realizing that what she did was wrong, Xiuying was stunned, and only said to her man in a half-loud voice, "Well, what you said is that I shouldn't dislike my younger brothers and sisters for making trouble."

Pan Shiyao smiled with satisfaction, reached out and touched Xiuying's round belly, and said with a smile, "Okay, on the big day, let's not talk about so many troubles, you go to clean up the bed, the food and wine at noon are almost eaten, I will go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy some loose wine and come back, and then see if there are any leftover dishes to buy, I really can't buy them, you just heat up the leftover vegetables at noon, and we will eat some." ”

Sometimes if people drill the tip of the horns, that is, lack of personal points, to Pan Shiyao said this, Xiuying also figured it out by herself, and besides, she herself is a forgetful person who loves to laugh, naturally she will not hide her careful thoughts and feel sorry for herself, and now she is crisp and sighed, "Okay, you go quickly, I will cook rice after making the bed, it doesn't matter if I can't buy vegetables, I will make hand-rolled noodles for them, and there are still some eggplants and green peppers left from my mother, I will make some marinade, pour it on the noodles and mix it to eat, they like to eat!" ”

This era is not like the material abundance after twenty or thirty years, whether it is meat or vegetables, you have to buy it early, and you can't buy anything at all, Pan Shiyao went out for a trip, only played some loose wine and came back, when passing through the alley of his house, Pan Shiyao noticed that there was a shop selling roast chicken here at the mouth of the alley, in the big furnace made of mud, the big rooster with plucked hair and disembowelment was inserted in the iron fork and leaned in the furnace, the master of the roast chicken was shirtless, standing at the mouth of the hearth and turning the iron fork back and forth, and the fragrance of the roast chicken spread far and wide, It hooked passers-by and swallowed their saliva.

Although Xiuying wants to make lo noodles for them to eat, but they come all the way to the county, the old Pan family is their own people and don't pay attention to it so much, the key is that there is still Xiuying's family, how can they greet them with noodles at night!

Pan Shiyao stopped, entered the roast chicken shop, and asked the master of the roast chicken, "Uncle, how do you sell roast chicken?" ”

The roast chicken master wiped the beads of sweat rolling off his forehead, and laughed loudly, "Three yuan a piece, buy two and I will charge you five yuan and five cents." ”

Pan Shiyao took out six yuan from his pocket, handed it to the roast chicken master, and said with a smile, "Bring me two." ”

The roast chicken master sighed, took out two pieces of oiled paper with his hands and feet, wrapped the two freshly baked roast chickens for Pan Shiyao, and handed them to Pan Shiyao.

Pan Shiyao took it, didn't hurry to leave, chatted with the roast chicken master, and asked, "How is the uncle selling?" Are there many people who buy it? ”

The roast chicken master didn't think much about it, and said happily, "It's okay, if you catch up with which one to do something, you can buy more than a dozen from me at one time, my old son and mother are all rural, the family is next to the mountain, I bought chickens at the beginning of the spring and let them raise them at home, hey, when they grow up, they will be sent to the city!" ”

Pan Shiyao silently remembered the words of the roast chicken master, and chatted with him a few more times, and then strode back with the roast chicken.

A big family had dinner lively, Xiuying cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks and washed them, and then boiled a big pot of hot water, she and Pan Shiyao washed their hands and faces at home before smearing back to the county trade manager department, the bedding in Pan Shiyao's dormitory has been moved, and it is not a matter for them to let the young couple sleep on the bedboard, so Pan Shiyao has the office key, he came back with a quilt from the duty room, half spread and half covered, and the little couple folded together sideways, lying on the bed and talking about things.

Pan Shiyao's big hand rested on Xiuying's belly and kept touching, Xiuying's bulging belly was sleeping with their little doll, and the little doll would be born in a few months, whether it was a boy or a girl, the family had added a population, and the cost of food and clothing would increase, and then when the little doll was older, he had to go to school He had to let his little doll study hard, whether it was a son or a daughter, as long as they had good grades and could be admitted, he would support them to read, but don't be like him, that is, only the primary school education level, the times are changing in the future, and the cultural level will definitely not be low

Thinking of the future, Pan Shiyao breathed a sigh of relief and said his thoughts to Xiuying, "Xiuying, I want to resign at the end of this year."

When Xiuying heard this, her eyes widened in surprise and said, "Why don't you do it?" Isn't there something angry? ”

Pan Shiyao hurriedly pressed her body to sit up, covered the quilt for her, and said, "Look at you, you're in a hurry, at least listen to me." I'll give you an account, I've been working in the trade department for almost three years, and my salary has hardly changed much year by year, although I now have a salary of about 30 yuan a month, but I still don't think it's enough, don't say anything else, you see Ada, just open a grocery store at home, a month's income is higher than my Gao Xiuying, I don't want to receive a dead salary anymore, I want to quit my job and do some small business, not to mention that now I can drive a car myself, and I have learned the skills I should learn."

Xiuying lay in her man's arms and listened quietly, maybe the new house was bought by Pan Yang, and it didn't make the young couple have a financial burden, Xiuying didn't realize that they had life pressure until now, if they didn't consider the problem of children in the future, relying on Pan Shiyao's salary and the small savings they had saved in their hands, their lives could be said to be carefree.

But her man is not a person who is satisfied with the status quo, Xiuying can't help but be proud of her man's daring to think and do, she turned over and faced her man, and said with the same enthusiasm, "I support any decision you make, I can also help you do it, in order to make our children live a better life in the future, I am not afraid of hardship!" ”

Pan Shiyao couldn't help but smile and said, "I'm going to tell you my plan first, so that you have a bottom in your heart, you, give birth to the little doll with peace of mind first, big-bellied woman."

Xiuying touched her round belly, punched Pan Shiyao, and muttered, "I'm really afraid that I gave birth to a girl and will be disliked by your family."

In fact, Pan Shiyao also hopes that the first child is a son, not that he has multiple sons, but he hopes to have a boy who looks like him first, and when they have plenty in their hands in the future, it is not too late to have another daughter, poor adopted son, rich adopted daughter, but he often has a sentence on his lips, think about it, if he has a daughter in the future, a petite one, he is reluctant to follow them to suffer

――

Because they had to catch the car, the two families got up before dawn, and they didn't even have time to eat breakfast to catch the car, Pan Shixun had long been shouting that he wanted to play in the city for a few days, so he naturally didn't want to go back with Zhang Xuelan and them, so he left him here.

Thinking about pulling bricks, Pan Shiyao greeted Tian Xugang at work, and at noon, Tian Xugang led Pan Yang and his son to the county high school and found Tian Xugang and his father-in-law. When Tian Xugang's father-in-law heard that he had found someone who was willing to pull bricks, he clapped his hands with joy and said to Pan Yang, "We have to build the canteen within a month, comrade, you must be too slow to pull bricks alone, comrade, do you have any relatives at home who can do it?" Let him come in one piece, we are short of manpower! ”

Hearing what Tian Xugang's father-in-law said, the first thing that came to Pan Yang's mind was her grandfather Yao Baozhong, a farmer who was strong and not afraid of hardship, and he was definitely willing to take this job!

Pan Yang was so busy that he said that he wanted to help Tian Xugang and his father-in-law find someone, and after the two made a decision, Pan Yang immediately rode back on the second-hand bicycle he bought from Sister Sun, and went straight to Yaojia Village, without asking others, and accurately touched Yao Baozhong's house.

Yao Baozhong's house is quiet, his house has no courtyard wall, which is equivalent to the door is wide open, a few old hens in the yard are pecking, and in the pigsty built up by the big stone in the west, a piglet is snoring and arching pig food

Pan Yang parked the bicycle and stood in the yard and shouted, "Brother Baozhong, are you not at home?" ”

Pan Yang didn't call Yao Baozhong out of his voice, but her mother Yao Qimei came out of the house, and when she saw that it was Pan Yang, she smiled and said, "Uncle is here, is there something wrong with me?" I'm going to order food in my own field, you wait, I'll call him back. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Pan Yang's reaction, he ran to the west of the village in his own field.

Not long after, Yao Baozhong came back with a hoe and a bucket, followed by his woman Han Naiyun.

Han Naiyun heard her man mention Pan Yang, and now that she was coming, she said hello with a smile, asked Yao Qimei to move a stool out of the house, and politely beckoned her to sit.

After pedaling the bicycle for a long time, Pan Yang was indeed a little tired, so he sat down unceremoniously, the stool was an old-fashioned bench, and the Eight Immortals table was matched. Yao Baozhong also sat down on the bench and asked Pan Yangdao, "Big brother came to me for something?" ”

Pan Yang smiled, "There is indeed something, now I have a job, I don't know if you want to do it." ”

Pan Yang told Yao Baozhong the ins and outs of the matter.

After Yao Baozhong listened, he slapped his thigh and said happily, ", why don't you do it!" ”

Now that the policy has been relaxed, the production team of Yaojia Village has also worked separately, and now it is not in time for the busy farming season, and he can't sell the small vegetables on his own land at home for a few dollars, and he can't afford to do some physical work, not to mention that he earns a lot of money!

But Yao Baozhong also had his concerns, he said, "After the production team was separated, I and the other two families in the village shared a horse, and now if I borrow the carriage quietly for a few days, it is estimated that the other two families will not be happy." ”

Pan Yang didn't plan to let more people participate in this work, she gave Yao Baozhong a preventive injection in advance, "Big brother, you have to know that the fewer people involved in this work, the more we earn." ”

Yao Baozhong is also a person who is transparent at all, and said busily, "Don't worry, big brother, why don't I tell them what to do, let me think of a good excuse, and then go with you immediately?" ”

Pan Yang nodded and said, "That's it, but big brother, you have to move faster, and urge us to go to work." ”

Hearing this, Yao Baozhong didn't delay any longer, and immediately went to the other two to inform the carriage, Pan Yang didn't know what excuse Yao Baozhong found, anyway, the carriage was borrowed in the end, and the two didn't interrupt again, Pan Yang directly put the bicycle on the carriage, jumped into the carriage, and the two were about to rush to the county seat.

Yao Baozhong suddenly thought of something, jumped out of the rack car, went back to the house, and when he came out again, he stuffed twenty yuan into Pan Yang's hand, and said embarrassedly, "Big brother, you see that it took more than a year to repay you for borrowing you twenty yuan, and you didn't ask me for it, otherwise"

Since Yao Baozhong had the money to pay it back, Pan Yang also accepted it and said with a smile, "It's okay, who can have an urgent time for money!" ”

Yao Baozhong rubbed his hands, smiled, and thought of the problem of eating and lodging in the county seat, he said again, "Big brother, after we go, we will say where to live, do you care about the food?" ”

Pan Yang said, "Oh, that's really not, but you don't have to worry, my eldest family bought a house in the county, let's go directly to him to eat and live." ”

On the one hand, Yao Baozhong was amazed at the strength of the Pan family, who was rich enough to buy a house in the city, and on the other hand, he felt embarrassed to disturb others, and hesitated, "Then I won't do this job, otherwise I will find a place to live outside."

Pan Yang knew that her grandfather didn't like to take advantage, so he persuaded him vigorously, "What's the matter, I treat you as my own, what do my own people care about doing this, there is a spare room and a ready-made pot stove, just go directly." ”

Yao Baozhong didn't want to let go of this opportunity to make money, he hesitated for a while, and said to Pan Yang, "Big brother, you wait." ”

After saying that, he plunged into the kitchen, and when he came out again, he had two big bags of things in his hand, one bag of grain, and another bag of pumpkin, cabbage and other home-grown food.

Yao Baozhong said, "I will live for the blessing of my eldest brother, I can't eat for nothing, and I still have to bring rations!" ”

Pan Yang sighed with a smile, and no longer persuaded him, the two did not dare to interrupt, and drove to the county seat.

When it was already dark in the county seat, the two stopped at the door of the new house, Pan Yang led Yao Baozhong in, saw Xiuying cooking, and said to her, "Xiuying, burn more at night, there are guests from my hometown." ”

Xiuying had already heard Pan Shiyao mention that a villager was going to come to live for a while during this time, she greeted Yao Baozhong with a smile, and politely invited him to sit in, "Ada, I baked a big cake, do you want to add some more dishes?" ”

Without waiting for Pan Yang to speak, Yao Baozhong hurriedly said, "Don't bother, the pancakes are enough, it's best to eat them wrapped in garlic cloves!" ”
