No. 35.14 Second Watch

The woman standing in front of Pan Yang is Pan Laowu's daughter Pan Shuxia, in her early thirties, working as a nurse in the obstetrics and gynecology department of the provincial hospital, and her man also works in the provincial hospital and is a surgeon.

The work of Pan Shuxia and her husband and wife, let alone in the current era, even Pan Yang's era can be regarded as a high-paid double worker, you can imagine how good Pan Shuxia's family is.

Originally, Pan Yang handed over Pan Lao Wu and his family to Pan Shuxia, but Pan Shuxia had to invite Pan Yang to dinner, Pan Yang couldn't refuse, so he said, "Will it delay you from going to work?" Don't you go to work at this point? โ€

Pan Shuxia said with a smile, "It's okay, I'm on the night shift today, let's go, big brother, let's send Ah Da and Niang's luggage to my house first, and then I'll take you down to the restaurant, big brother, you come all the way to the provincial capital, how can you leave without entering my house to recognize the door." โ€

Aunt Pan Wu grabbed Pan Yang's sleeve and said to Pan Yang, "What Shuxia said is that it is thanks to Zhaoke that we were sent here, otherwise you and your fifth uncle will not even be able to get on the train, this way I will be dizzy and make me whole Ah Zhaoke, don't leave today, go back after playing here for two days, Aunt Wu will cook you something delicious, and then buy some special products and bring them back to a few children to eat." โ€

After that, he dragged Pan Yang forward.

In front of the public, Pan Yang was not good at pulling and pulling with Aunt Pan, so he smiled and said, "Fifth Aunt, I can't do it, so I will be cheeky and disturb Sister Shuxia for two days." โ€

Now that the sky is just bright, considering that Pan Yang and his party must be hungry after a night of train, Pan Shuxia first led them to the state-run hotel near the train station, because next to the train station, there are many people in the state-run hotel, bustling to queue up at the meal window.

Pan Yang wanted to go over to buy it, but he stopped Pan Shuxia, Pan Yang coughed, and said, "I'm a big man, how can there be a reason to let a woman pay for a meal." โ€

Pan Yang unconsciously patted his chest, well, it's very flat, she is a big man now!

Pan Shuxia snorted and stopped him, "What a big man is not a man, now is a new society, advocating equality between men and women, you come to the provincial capital, I should do my landlord's friendship, big brother, go back and sit, otherwise I will be angry." โ€

After speaking, he didn't give Pan Yang a chance, and trotted to the window to line up.

Pan Yang had no choice but to sit down and wait with Pan Lao Wu, looking at the window from time to time, and only when Pan Shuxia was in line did Pan Yang get up and help her serve food.

Pan Shuxia asked for four fritters, two drawers of steamed buns, and a drawer of rice dumplings, plus four bowls of soy milk.

Pan Yang saw that she ordered so much, and said, "It's too much, it's a pity that I can't finish it." โ€

She will change her mind, the previous life of Pan Yang was carefree, so she loves to play petty, loves to be clingy, and never counts when spending money, the current Pan Yang, as the pillar of the old Pan family, is running for a living, and it is inevitable that he has learned to 'live'.

Pan Shuxia said with a smile, "It's not in the way, we'll take it away if we can't finish eating." โ€

I have to say that the things in this era are very affordable, the oil for frying fritters will never appear gutter oil, a big meat bun is about the same size as Pan Yang's fist, you can eat it with confidence, the meat inside is absolutely safe and harmless, and rice dumplings, this is definitely something that Pan Yang will never forget.

The so-called rice dumplings are dumplings made of rice bread ground from rice, and the fillings in the dumplings include red bean paste, mung bean paste, and black sesame peanuts.

There is also the soy milk in the big bowl, which is also freshly ground, and it has not lost its original flavor with too much water, and it only costs five cents for such a large bowl.

The four of them ate to their heart's content, and after eating, Pan Shuxia led them to take the tram. Pan Yang took the tram for the first time, and it was very novel, following Pan Shuxia, seeing that she had invested cents, he couldn't help but ask, "Shuxia, how does this cost?" โ€

Pan Shuxia smiled and explained to Pan Yang, "This sub-station charges two cents for one station, and my house is five stations away from here, so we have to invest a dime per person, and children below one meter two will be charged half of the price." โ€

Pan Yang grew knowledge, nodded his head, and saw that the people on the bus consciously invested in the coin, and he didn't feel puzzled, what if someone took five stops but invested four stops?

As if seeing what Pan Yang was thinking, Pan Shuxia pointed to the master who was driving the tram in front of her, and said in a low voice, "Big brother, don't look absent-minded, he can know how much money you invested by listening to the sound of the coin, and you can remember your appearance at a glance. โ€

Pan Yang knew it, so she said, it turns out that there is a manual monitor.

Pan Yang and Pan Shuxia talked for a while, and then looked out the window at this familiar and unfamiliar city, although compared with decades later, its houses are not high enough, the painting and decoration are not good enough, and the roads are not wide enough, but compared with the countryside, it is already a world and a place.

The streets and alleys are full of people, all of them are full of smiles, most of the men have big backs, wear decent suits, carry briefcases in one hand, a pair of office workers, women wear a variety of clothes, shirts, long cotton skirts, trousers, bodybuilding pants, and more fashionable bell-bottoms, high heels, snow-white shirts tied in the waistband of trousers, hot instant noodles

One qiฤ“ is much better than in the countryside.

In comparison, Pan Yang's outfit is much shabby, with a dark blue cardigan on the upper body, black cloth pants on the lower body, and new rubber-soled cloth shoes made by Zhang Xuelan for him on his feet, in fact, this is Pan Yang's latest clothes, without any patches, but it is still inevitable to be frequently looked at by people in the city.

Pan Yang is in a good mood and doesn't care about these, thanks to the living environment she grew up in, she has created a kind of thought, no matter whether she wears good or bad, eats a big meal or nibbles on steamed buns, she doesn't need to care about other people's eyes, because no matter what, she can't change the fact that she is the little prince in the family.

They got off the bus at the section near the provincial hospital, Pan Shuxia walked forward with a large bag of luggage, and Pan Yang followed behind with a burden on his shoulders.

Pan Shuxia's family lives on the third floor, and the house she lives in has three bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom, with an area of about 100 square meters.

Pan Lao Wu and Aunt Pan Wu took the train all night, tired and tight, and wanted to lie on the bed to rest for a while after entering the door, Pan Shuxia was busy arranging for the second elder to go into the house to sleep.

She politely asked Pan Yang if she wanted to rest for a while.

Pan Yang hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, I'm not tired." โ€

Pan Shuxia gave up and invited Pan Yang to sit on the sofa in the living room, and she went to the kitchen to pour Pan Yang a glass of boiling water.

Pan Yang couldn't help but look at Pan Shuxia's house, the sofa was a spring sofa, a long strip horizontally, a wooden coffee table was placed in front of him, and a row of low cabinets were placed on the sofa, and a radio was placed on the low cabinet, and the living room and dining room were separated by a hollow milky white iron shelf that was more than one person high, and small potted flowers and various porcelain antiques were placed on the iron shelf.

Pan Yang couldn't help but stand up and look at these porcelains, a little curious if they were real.

Pan Shuxia couldn't help but look at her, and said with a smile, "These are put on by my father-in-law, he usually likes to make trouble, but it is estimated that they are not true, they are all collected from the stall as decorations." โ€

Pan Yang asked, "Do you live with your in-laws?" โ€

Pan Shuxia said with a smile, "I don't live together, they are retired, and now they all live with my brother-in-law in Fujian, but their old houses are here, and the old houses are left to us. โ€

Pan Yang nodded, speechless for a while.

But Pan Shuxia said, "If the eldest brother is okay in the afternoon, I'll take you out for a walk?" Shop for department stores or something, and see if there is anything to buy for my sister-in-law. โ€

This Pan Yang was very excited, and he really wanted to go out, but he said, "There are many things in the department store that require tickets, and it is not enough to buy them just if you have money, alas." โ€

This is the most helpless place in Pan Yang, in this era, because of the lack of materials, I have to come up with a way to buy things with tickets to restrict the purchase of the people, the working class is better, to their old peasants, even if they earn money, they are restricted.

Hearing this, Pan Shuxia said with a smile, "Big brother, don't worry, these are not a thing, what am I afraid of, I have any tickets, and mine is for you." โ€

Pan Yang hurriedly said, "How can it be done, you still need to use it at home, you can't give it to me." โ€

Pan Shuxia said, "Big brother, don't think about it, the bills issued by Lao Zhao's unit and I can't be used up every month, and my parents-in-law's pension and various bills belong to us, they can't spend it at all in Fujian and my brother-in-law, all I have in my hand are bills, if I don't spend it this year, it will be useless next year, it's all wasted." โ€

Hearing Pan Shuxia say this, Pan Yang was suspicious, "Then your in-laws' unit is treated very well." โ€

Pan Shuxia snorted and said to Pan Yang, "It's all my own family, I don't hide it from my eldest brother, don't think too much about my eldest brother, I'm showing off, my father-in-law is the deputy commander of the provincial military district, as for my mother-in-law, the provincial government agencies, they have good retirement treatment, so don't be polite to me, I have to thank you for sending my Adaniang over." โ€

Pan Yang secretly said to himself, such a good official position, no wonder Pan Shuxia made a generous move, since this is the case, Pan Yang was not polite to her, and said with a smile, "Then I will trouble Sister Shuxia to take me out for a walk in the afternoon." โ€

At noon, Pan Shuxia burned a table of good dishes, chicken nuggets roasted potatoes, pork fried beans, green pepper scrambled eggs, spicy tofu, plus a big bowl of chive egg soup, she opened a bottle of good wine sent by her father-in-law and old subordinates, and beckoned Pan Yang and Pan Lao Wu to drink two glasses.

Aunt Pan asked, "What about Xiao Zhao?" Don't come back for dinner at noon? And Tingting, haven't gotten out of school yet? โ€

Pan Shuxia gave them a big meal and said with a smile, "Lao Zhao ate at noon in the department, they have frequent surgeries, and they can't get off work on time when they are busy, so they simply solve lunch in the department, Tingting has eaten at school since she was in junior high school, she thinks that the school is far away from home, and she doesn't like to toss back and forth." โ€

Saying that, Pan Shuxia beckoned everyone to eat, "We eat ours, no matter the two of them, Brother Zhaoke, don't be polite, just like your own family here, you can eat whatever you want." โ€

Afraid that Pan Yang would be embarrassed, Pan Shuxia vigorously put vegetables in her bowl and piled her bowl to the point before giving up.

After eating, Pan Shuxia said that she wanted to take Pan Yang out for a walk, and Pan Lao Wu and his family rested all morning, unwilling to stay at home, but also to go with them.

Before going out, Pan Shuxia took out a thick medical book from the bedside table drawer, which was full of various bills from their family, including food stamps, oil stamps, cloth stamps, coal stamps, tofu stamps, soap stamps, meat stamps, fish stamps, kerosene stamps and other more than ten kinds of bills, in addition to industrial coupons, among which industrial coupons can be used to buy yarn, cloth, soap and other industrial products.

The bills were sorted into different layers of paper and stacked in thick stacks. Pan Shuxia took out some of all kinds of bills, among which the industrial vouchers were the most, no matter what, Pan Yang sent her Ada-Niang over for a trip, not to mention the hard work of giving her Ada-Niang the money for bus tickets and train tickets, so it is reasonable that Pan Shuxia should repay this favor.

Pan Shuxia led the three of them to the largest department store in the provincial capital, the department store is very large, and there are a wide variety of goods in it, one counter after another, and different kinds of goods are placed in different counters.

Bicycles, watches, sewing machines, radios, table clocks, clothes, cloth, rubber shoes, pencils, pens, paper, books, toys, and many other items are available.

This phenomenon somewhat dazzled Pan Yang, a native bun from the countryside.

It was the first time she had entered a department store of this era

Considering that it is inconvenient for many people to move, Pan Shuxia was ready to act separately, she stuffed a stack of bills into Pan Yang's hand, and said with a smile, "Big brother, I'll take my Ada-Niang to go around, buy something for them, you go around the mall by yourself, if you have something you want to buy, you can only use the ticket, and I'll give it to you, let's act separately and gather at the gate of the mall in an hour." โ€

Pan Yang felt that this construction was feasible, and she was not hypocritical, and after receiving Pan Shuxia's bill, the four of them began to act separately.

Pan Yang was going to buy all the things that Wang Youtian and his lover asked her to help buy first, although Wang Youtian and his lover gave her the bills, but when she really bought them, the bills she gave were far from enough to pay for the ones on her list, but considering that she wanted to help Pan Shiyao introduce the object, Pan Yang gritted his teeth and bought her all the money.

After Pan Yang bought Wang Youtian's beloved things, Pan Yang stayed at the ready-to-wear counter for a long time, the clothes in the counter are the fashion of this era in terms of style and color, these things are rare to see in the countryside, since he came here, Pan Yang is going to buy a few clothes to go back.

Other things such as soap, laundry detergent, alabaster and other things are stored in Panyang's space, and there is no need to spend money to buy them at all, but the clothes of this era are not available in her space. Now that summer is approaching, there is a new batch of really good ready-to-wear on the counter, including women's pink blue plaid shirts, round-neck pullovers, and even really good long dresses.

Pan Yang took a fancy to a light blue pullover, she wanted to buy one for Zhang Xuelan, Zhang Xuelan wore patched clothes all the time on the anniversary, except for the big padded jacket in winter, the clothes in other seasons were torn, so her grandfather took care of her grandmother, buy her one!

Pan Yang asked the counter salesperson to wrap the jumper she fancied.

Probably because she was dressed too hillbilly, the salesman couldn't wait to turn her nostrils to the sky, and said coldly to Pan Yang, "Comrade, this dress not only needs money, but also industrial coupons, do you have industrial coupons?" โ€

Pan Yang resisted the urge to roll his eyes, handed the industrial voucher to the salesman, and said angrily, "I have an industrial voucher, how much is this dress." โ€

The salesman saw Pan Yang with a stack of bills in his pocket, so he put away his disdainful eyes and said to Pan Yang, "Comrade, this horse is indeed good for us, it is wear-resistant, not out of shape, easy to wash, and dries quickly. In addition to the style of the pullover in the hands of comrades, we also have shirts, cardigans, and trousers, which sell very well. Do you want to have both? โ€

Ten bucks!

Pan Yang smacked her tongue secretly, the pork was only seven or eight cents a pound this year, and the really good pullover in her hand was actually ten yuan!

Although it is very expensive, Pan Yang still gritted her teeth and bought a pullover, three shirts, a pullover for Zhang Xuelan, three shirts She and Pan Shiyao and Pan Hengchun each have one, as for the small radish heads at home, don't buy them clothes of this material first, she has fabric in her space, and she can let Zhang Xuelan make it for them!

Pan Yang took out forty yuan to the salesman, and the salesman took it and opened the toll slip, stepped on the small wooden stool, put the money into the small basket hanging on the wire, and threw it vigorously in the direction of the cash register, and after a while, the cash register threw the small basket back, and the salesman took off the โ–กโ–ก in the small basket and handed the four pieces of clothes to Pan Yang along with โ–กโ–ก.

Passing by the counter selling watches, Pan Yang stopped, the watches displayed in the counter were divided into two groups, one was a domestic watch, the other was an imported watch, Pan Yang didn't want to buy a watch, but she wanted to sell a watch.
