Seeing that Pan Shiyao bought a sewing machine without making a sound, the whole family was a little surprised, especially Zhang Xuelan, she was not very satisfied with this family business, so she naturally couldn't help muttering a few words to Pan Shiyao.

"Waste money, where did you get the money to buy a sewing machine?"

Pan Shiyao didn't hide it from his family, and said honestly, "I'll borrow my colleague's first, and I'll pay it back later." ”

When Zhang Xuelan heard that Pan Shiyao borrowed money to buy a sewing machine for his daughter-in-law, she felt uncomfortable, and glared, "Borrow money?!" How much do you borrow? You said that you rabbit cub, buy a sewing machine at least discuss with us, there is no need to buy things have to borrow money to buy, I will see how you pay it back in the future! ”

Pan Shiyao is the one who wants to marry a daughter-in-law in the end, and he also has his own plans, so he couldn't help but say, "Since I borrowed money, there is a way to pay it back." ”

Pan Yang saw that the two of them were about to quarrel, and hurriedly said, "I bought it, what is there to say, even if Shiyao doesn't buy it, I am going to go to the county seat to buy one in the past two days, and now the family is not as good as before, it is older than before, as for the quarrel because of this matter." ”

In fact, only Zhang Xuelan knows in her heart that she is not only angry because Pan Shiyao spent money to buy a sewing machine, but because she can't see that Pan Shiyao is good to Yang Xiuying, she is jealous, and when she thinks that her son will have a daughter-in-law in the future, she will no longer worry about her mother, she is not happy, to put it bluntly, it is because of this point in her heart, if it is really about money, it is better to say.

Zhang Xuelan couldn't say anything in this kind of vague heart, so she could only glared at Pan Yang angrily and said, "Okay, good, good, I don't care, Pan Zhaoke, you will be a good person!" ”

No matter what, no matter how uncomfortable Zhang Xuelan is, the marriage has to be done. In addition, at the end of the year, the brigade was going to distribute the remaining grain in the granary, Pan Yangye and the two drove the donkey cart to the brigade to pull the grain, and while Zhang Xuelan couldn't see it, Pan Yang stuffed two hundred yuan into Pan Shiyao's pocket.

Pan Shiyao was reluctant to ask for it, Pan Yang stopped his hand and said, "Go back and pay back the money you borrowed from your colleagues, and there will be more places to spend money after you get married, anyway, Ada's earning some money is also for your brothers and sisters, take it." ”

Pan Shiyao was silent, and only whispered after half a sound, "Ada, are you also blaming me for buying the sewing machine without consulting you?" ”

Afraid that he would think too much, Pan Yang hurriedly said, "Ada, it's still the same sentence, that is, if you don't buy it, Adada will also help you get ready, Ada, I just don't want you to be too stressed, so I will return the money to my colleagues first." ”

Pan Shiyao smiled at this time, scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "Ada, you are so good." ”

When the two arrived at the production brigade, there were already many people waiting in the courtyard of the brigade, and they were gathered in twos and threes to complain that there was too little food this year. The production team's winter wheat output in the first half of the year was still good, but the corn and soybeans in the second half of the year were not, and in general, the grain distributed by each household in the team was one-third less than last year.

Fortunately, they are separated and work alone, and the amount of next year's harvest depends on their own ability, and with this, the members of the production team feel better.

Pan Yang brought a piece of the household registration book of Pan Lao and Wu, and the grain helped them get a piece and sent it over in a donkey cart.

It happened that Pan Yang was going to discuss something with Pan Lao Wu, she wanted to give Pan Lao Wu half of the pig's money, and the whole pig was brought to her house and killed for Pan Shiyao's marriage.

As soon as Pan Yang spoke, Pan Lao Wu smiled and said, "Don't you say that I was about to ask you, I don't want this pig's money, Shi Yao called me the fifth master, and your fifth aunt and I are going to send him to get married!" ”

Pan Yang hurriedly said, "Then how embarrassing, fifth uncle, the money that should be given must be given." ”

Pan Lao Wu made up his mind not to want money, but he didn't want to argue too much with Pan Yang about money at the moment, so he smiled and said, "Cheng, wait until Shiyao gets married, who has time to settle accounts after he was so busy a year ago!" ”

Pan Lao Wu said exactly this reason, years ago, the old Pan family was so busy that his legs didn't nap, and even a few radish heads at home were used, and the marriage was messy, and everything had to be prepared.

A few days later, there was a shrill pig cry at the mouth of the alley of the old Pan family, the deputy captain of the production team is the pig handle of their village, and he is doing the work of slaughtering pigs at the end of previous years.

On a cold day, the deputy captain rolled up the sleeves of his torn cotton jacket, and he brought a sharp knife to kill pigs and a big iron hook in his mouth. Pan Yang and Pan Shiyao each grabbed the pig's two legs and pressed the pig on the big stone slab at the entrance of the alley.

What, why are you going to say that you still use the washbasin to hold pig's blood? That's unhygienic.

Pots and pans in rural areas are limited, but whenever a family has a happy event to entertain guests, let alone take out the washbasin, even if you take the footbasin out to use, you still think that it is just a vegetable washing basin.

In short, if you don't take the urinal, you can use it even if you are exquisite.

At this time, there were two broken straw mats in the middle of the small courtyard of Aunt Pan's house, Zhang Xuelan and Aunt Pan were sewing a futon for Pan Shiyao's wedding, Aunt Pan's sons and daughters have the ability, Aunt Pan can be regarded as a blessed person in their village, so the matter of sewing the futon is none other than Aunt Pan!

Pan Hengchun's daughter, Pan Shiyao's aunt Pan Zhulin, rushed back from Hexi, and was busy in the courtyard of the old Pan family's house, eating fried vegetable balls, sprinkled seeds, etc., which were used as staple foods for entertaining guests on the wedding day.

It is said that the big room is a happy event, and the second and third rooms should come to help with the work, but now only the third room has come, and the second room does not even have a personal shadow.

This is not good, Pan Lao Wu probably understood in his heart that the relationship between the big house and the second room was stiff because of something, so he persuaded Pan Yangdao, "Zhaoke, you let Shiyao go to his second uncle's house to shout, even if your etiquette arrives, he will come when he comes, and if he doesn't come to pull it down, no one will blame you in the future." ”

As soon as Pan Yang heard Pan Lao Wu say this, his heart was also the same, so he called Pan Shiyao and asked him to call his second uncle.

Pan Shiyao was a little reluctant, but he still went, Pan Shiyao came back not long after he went, his face was not very good, and he said to Pan Yang, "Ada, if there is anything going on at the second uncle and aunt's house in the future, let's not go, what attitude!" ”

Pan Yang hurriedly patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, don't be angry, we have notified, he loves to come or not, since he raised his head, don't blame us for not associating with him in the future." ”

Two days before the wedding, in addition to Pan Shiyao's aunt Pan Zhulin, who had already arrived, other relatives also came one after another, including Pan Shiyao's aunt, grandmother, aunt and aunt, plus they all had children, and all of them flocked to the old Pan family.

Pan Yang arranged for some people to live in Pan Laowu's house, and cleaned up the thatched house next to the production team, put the bed board, spread the straw mat, and arranged a few people to live there. As for the few radish heads in the family, they were all brought to Zhang Xuelan's house in the third room and let them sleep with a few cousins.

Pan Shiyao has also been so busy these days that his feet do not touch the ground, he informed them one by one according to the list of Tianli that they must be present on the day of the wedding, among these people are village cadres such as Wang Youtian and Pan Shicong in his own village, as well as people who are usually good with his family, as well as people from other villages such as Yao Baozhong, etc., all of whom have to be notified one by one.

Pan Shiyao rode a bicycle around almost all the communes, and after making sure that all the notices had been made, he weighed sweets and pastries from the supply and marketing cooperatives in the township, bought six cigarettes, and returned with more than a dozen bottles of bottled wine of average price, and used two bottles to entertain the guests who came first, and left the rest for the day of the banquet.

In this era, there is no talk of receiving a bride, most of them are the first day of marriage, the bride and her Ah Da rushed to the man's family together, rested at the man's house for a night, and only waited for the next day after the banquet, and then became the daughter-in-law of the man's family.

On the day she rushed to Panjia Village, Xiuying deliberately went to the town to take a bath for two cents and five cents, braided her long oily and smooth hair into a twisted braid, and specially asked her sister Xiuchun to cut it into air bangs with scissors in front of her forehead, and the thin layer was just right to her eyebrows.

Although it was a cold winter, in order to be beautiful, Xiuying still put on a dress that Pan Shiyao bought for her, the sweater was covered with a tweed coat, and the red tweed coat showed that she was very festive, and even her brother-in-law's blunt mouth couldn't stop praising her for being handsome!

Xiuying, who had changed her outfit, just took her Ada's arm and walked all the way to Lao Pan's house, and when she arrived at Lao Pan's house, she saw her and Pan Shiyao's new house, and she liked it even more, the brand-new two-piece stone tile house, beds, cabinets and chairs are all available, and even the grandfather clock and bicycle are available, and what surprised her even more was that Pan Shiyao actually bought her a sewing machine!

Pan Shiyao saw Xiuying staring at the sewing machine uncontrollably, and asked in a low voice, "I bought the style you like, okay?" ”

Xiuying was full of shyness and affection, nodded and said, "I like it, I like it so much." ”

Right now, if it weren't for the adults and children who came around in the new house to see her, Xiuying would have hugged her man and kissed her fiercely, this is the man she picked, and she really didn't look away.

Just when Xiuying was surrounded by a group of women and children asking for candy, Xiuying's Adada was also invited by Pan Yang to sit in the hall, and there were also Pan Laowu, Wang Youtian, and Pan Shicong who accompanied Xiuying.

Zhang Xuelan, Meng Guangmei, and Concubine Juan, together with Aunt Pan and Pan Zhulin, are all busy making food, in addition to making this meal for their father-in-law in the evening, they also have to prepare some of the dishes for tomorrow's banquet first.

On the day of the feast, a table was set up in the old Pan's house, which was used to entertain the in-laws and village cadres and Yao Baozhong, and the old lady Pan Guangchen next door set up two tables, and arranged for Pan Shiyao's grandmother, aunt, aunt and others to lead their children to sit at a table.

In fact, children may not be able to eat it all, they all stuff it in their pockets and take it to keep it and eat it slowly. Pan Zhulin put it on a few occasions, and then it was no longer placed, unless there were a few difficult children who insisted on asking for candy, Pan Zhulin took it out and gave them a few pieces.

However, among this group of children, there is a Pan Zhulin to take special care of, it is Yao Qimei who came to attend Pan Shiyao's wedding with Yao Baozhong, because the scene on the wedding day was too chaotic, Pan Yang couldn't take care of her mother, and looked for Pan Shisong, this bear boy didn't know which corner to go crazy in, Pan Yang had to entrust her mother to Pan Zhulin, so that Pan Zhulin must take good care of her mother.

Although Pan Zhulin didn't understand what was going on, but since her brother told her, Pan Zhulin paid special attention to this little girl, filled her pocket with melon seeds and candy, and took her to the kitchen stove when it was almost time to eat, where the second Mazi in their village was being the chef, Pan Zhulin could call the shots, get some fried vegetable balls for the little girl to let her eat some belly pads.

On the big stove in the kitchen, Er Mazi filled the big bowl with a large iron spoon based on fatty meat, chickens and ducks, and Pan Zhaofeng, the 'family', led the young second-rate people from the same village to serve food to the table. Zhang Xuelan and Pan Wujiao squatted on the ground, and put fried balls, sprinkled seeds, and white-flour steamed buns on the plate one by one, and Pan Zhulin and Meng Guangmei were responsible for delivering them to the table.

As for Pan Yang, he was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground, and when he had eaten a batch of noodles, he had to greet the next group of guests to the table, set chopsticks and bowls and call people to serve

Pan Shiyao, as the protagonist of today, has to lead Xiuying to toast from the table, and when he meets a second-rate young man in the village who is about the same age as Pan Shiyao, he has to coax Xiuying to drink a glass with him, where can Xiuying drink at a girl's house, Pan Shiyao can't entangle them, so he had to drink Xiuying's cup, and toasted a few tables of wine in a row, Pan Shiyao's feet have begun to feel weak, if it weren't for the support of a will, he would have fallen asleep at this time.

Although it is a cold winter wax moon, no one who sits on the table feels cold, everyone eats and drinks, laughs and talks, the big pieces of meat are stuffed into the mouth, and the mouth is oily, until it is really unbearable to reluctantly leave from the table, they left, and the next group of people immediately arranged for the meal to eat from noon to nearly dark.

When Pan Shiyao and Xiuying finally toasted from the table, the second-rate young people in the village hugged the new house again, closed the door with their backhands, and blocked a group of hairy children and girls out of the door, because they were going to make trouble with the bride and groom, and children were not suitable!

After half a night, the wedding finally ended, and the guests outside who were close to home went home one after another, and those who were far away would rest at Lao Pan's house for another night, and then leave after dinner tomorrow morning

Zhang Xuelan and Meng Guangmei are not busy yet, they have to choose the leftover dishes they ate today, and place them on different plates, as well as the leftover white flour buns, fried meatballs and sprinkled seeds, these are all good things, and they can be eaten during the New Year.

Meng Guangmei and Aunt Pan were busy all day after rushing to the kitchen stove, Zhang Xuelan was also a person who knew it, she gave them a bowl of big pieces of meat and chickens and ducks that were burnt in oil, and there were many fried meatballs left, and each person gave a plate, as for sweets and pastries, they were naturally indispensable, and they all shared some for them to take home.

Aunt Pan asked for meat and vegetables, but she didn't want to ask for candy and pastries, "Your fifth uncle and I are both old people, and we don't like to eat sugar, so we keep them for the children." ”

Since Aunt Pan said so, Zhang Xuelan didn't force it, but instead took the remaining half bottle of liquor and stuffed it to Aunt Pan, Aunt Pan excused herself twice, and accepted it unceremoniously.

Meng Guangmei also carried her things, and called out that several of her children, as well as her man, all went home together, and this time the old Pan family was completely quiet.

When Zhang Xuelan was busy cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Xiuying changed the clothes she was wearing at home and came out, a half-worn jacket, and army green cotton pants, she had the heart to have a good relationship with her mother-in-law, took the dishes and chopsticks in Zhang Xuelan's hand and said, "Mother, I'll help you wash the dishes and chopsticks." ”

In fact, Zhang Xuelan didn't dislike Xiuying, but she was worried that she didn't have a brother, and now seeing that Xiuying was so sensible, she couldn't let her new daughter-in-law work hard, so she said, "You hurry up and put it down, today you only care about toasting, you and Shiyao haven't eaten a few bites of food, there are still leftover buns and vegetables on the stove, hurry up and pick the hot one you like, and eat it with Shiyao in the end room." ”

Zhang Xuelan said this, Xiuying realized that she hadn't eaten much for a day, and she was indeed hungry, she sighed happily, heated the meal by herself, and intimately warmed a bowl of duck soup for Pan Shiyao, thinking that he drank so much wine, his stomach must be very uncomfortable
