Hearing Zhang Xuelan mention the wool, Pan Yang remembered that she had left the wool at Sister Sun for a long time.

Coming out of the department store, Pan Yang led Zhang Xuelan in the direction of Sister Sun's house.

On the way, Zhang Xuelan asked, "Where are we going?" ”

Pan Yang said, "Sister Sun's house, I came back to the county to deliver food to Sister Sun, Sister Sun said that she could knit sweaters, and I gave her ten yuan for her to help with processing." ”

Zhang Xuelan's eyes widened and said, "Ten yuan?!" Let her process a sweater and give ten yuan? ”

In fact, Pan Yang really doesn't give much, and good people have to spend time to weave, besides, the wool given by Pan Yang is the amount of five people to weave, and it takes ten days to weave a sweater in a hurry, how can five sweaters take nearly two months, and it takes so long to weave a sweater, and ten yuan can be considered too much for others?

Besides, Sister Sun still has to take care of her man, so she hasn't knitted it all until now!

Zhang Xuelan only thought about how painful it was to spend ten yuan, so she was so angry that she punched her man with her fist, and she didn't have a good temperament, "Pan Zhaoke, is our family's money flowing from a lot of water?" You said that you have a crush on that woman, and you want to spend some money on her, right? ”

Hearing Zhang Xuelan say this, Pan Yang realized that her grandmother seemed to have misunderstood something

Recalling that as long as she mentioned Sister Sun before, her grandmother looked unhappy, Pan Yang can now figure out what is going on, and he was speechless for a while, and only said in a half-loud voice, "I took care of her because she was pitiful." ”

After speaking, Pan Yang felt that something was wrong, which seemed to be more likely to cause misunderstanding.

Sure enough, Zhang Xuelan was even more angry, and had the meaning of being vexatious, "I'm also very pitiful, I haven't suffered anything with you Pan Zhaoke, in the years of natural disasters, I followed you at home to gnaw on tree bark, and I didn't have a good life for a day, although the situation is better than before, but I don't worry about this and that behind your father's ass, when will I be comfortable?" I haven't seen you pity me? ”

At the moment, there are people coming and going on the street, Pan Yang doesn't want to quarrel with her grandmother because of this ridiculous misunderstanding, Pan Yang reminded in a low voice, "We are outside, what is there to talk about when we go home, what a shame it is to quarrel outside." ”

Zhang Xuelan turned her head to look, and sure enough, there were pedestrians looking sideways, looking at them intentionally or unintentionally, she didn't want to be embarrassed outside, but she couldn't swallow her breath, gritted her teeth and warned her, "In the future, I won't allow you to go to Sister Sun's and Sister Yang's house again, if you tell me again, I don't care if I'm ashamed or not, believe it or not, I will dig out the eighteen generations of your old Pan family's ancestors to greet you!" ”

Believe, Pan Yang absolutely believes that her grandmother has this ability!

Pan Yang was full of black lines and persuaded, "No matter what, we have to go and take the sweater home, right?" The money is spent, and if you don't get the sweater, won't you lose a lot of money? ”

Zhang Xuelan thought about it, she wouldn't hypocritically say not to go to Sister Sun's house or anything like that, on the contrary, she wanted to see what that woman looked like, and she could make her man confused!

When Zhang Xuelan really saw Sister Sun's face, a kind of inferiority complex mixed with jealousy arose spontaneously, Zhang Xuelan couldn't help but look at the smiling woman in front of her, her skin was white and tender like a shelled egg, big eyes and a high nose bridge, two braids, and two small dimples when she laughed, not to mention a man, even she had to admit that she was really good-looking.

Look at her again, in the countryside all day facing the loess with her back to the sky, her skin is tanned and rough, her hair is cut into short ear-length hair in order to be better managed, and although her clothes are worn in the good pullover that her man bought for her in the provincial capital, but because the blue is particularly black, she wears a little more earthy bun breath on her for no reason

This qiē made Zhang Xuelan very frustrated, and at the same time there was a sense of unwarranted fear, her man has become capable now, and she has also heard that once a man has some ability, he will look down on the dregs of the family in various ways, as if he doesn't know when it started, her man is impatient with her many times

Pan Yang didn't know that just like this for a while, her grandmother had already marked her as a 'negative man' in her heart.

Sister Sun was sitting in her yard kneading her man's calves that could not move, the doctor said that this would slow down the atrophy of her man's lower limb muscles, she saw Pan Yang coming, no need for Pan Yang to mention, she went back to the house and took out the sweater, the five sweaters were folded neatly stacked together, and Sister Sun handed over a piece to Pan Yang.

Pan Yang looked at it, Sister Sun was very skillful, each sweater was a different pattern and color, knowing that Pan Yang was knitting it for her children, and even used different colors of wool to weave animal patterns such as kittens and puppies on her chest.

Pan Yang couldn't help but praise, "Eldest sister has good craftsmanship, she finished weaving so quickly!" ”

Sister Sun and his man took over the conversation and said with a smile, "It's not that I praise her, she works with her hands and feet, thinking that when the weather turns cold, you should wear it, and you rush out day and night." ”

Sister Sun glanced at her man and said, "Really, how can a princess like you sell melons." Big brother, let's see if the style is okay, I knit the size according to the size you gave, it should be no problem. ”

Saying that, Sister Sun looked at Zhang Xuelan with a smile and said, "Big brother, this must be the eldest sister-in-law, is this the eldest brother who brought the eldest sister-in-law to the city to play?" ”

Pan Yangle said yes.

Sister Sun has a hearty personality and is a self-acquaintance, she can chat with anyone, and now she intends to have a good relationship with Zhang Xuelan, and takes the initiative to chat with Zhang Xuelan about family life.

In fact, Sister Sun didn't think too much, she just felt that Pan Yang had helped her a lot, and she was grateful to her in her heart, not as Zhang Xuelan thought. Whoever you lead, even if you want to hook it on purpose. Whoever you lead, the object will not be Pan Yang, maybe in Zhang Xuelan's eyes, her man is a capable person, but she is much more capable than Zhang Xuelan, and Sister Sun thinks that she can't do such a tasteless thing.

Zhang Xuelan also discovered that Sister Sun is one and two are two, her temperament is more direct, and she doesn't hide what she says, which is completely different from the fox spirit in Zhang Xuelan's imagination, and Zhang Xuelan also noticed that Sister Sun seems to love her man very much.

When Sister Sun chatted with her about family life, her eyes would be on his man from time to time, if her man's hands were not honest and he lifted the blanket on his lap, Sister Sun would give him a blank look, and then patiently cover her man.

It is said that what happened to Sister Sun in Zhang Xuelan's view, it is a hard life, not to mention taking care of a paralyzed man, but also pulling two children to school, the man's medical expenses, children's tuition, and the daily expenses of the family, how can you rely on Sister Sun to earn money!

But Sister Sun doesn't seem to feel bitter at all, on the contrary, she is still very optimistic, and in the conversation with Zhang Xuelan, she never complains to Zhang Xuelan about the mess at home, mentioning that her man and her children have a smile on their faces, and everything she recalls and talks about is nothing interesting.

Coming out of Sister Sun's house, Zhang Xuelan couldn't help but sigh and said to Pan Yang, "This Sister Sun is really hard!" ”

Pan Yang has always been very sympathetic to Sister Sun's experience, and admires her for not only feeling sorry for herself, but also supporting the whole family with her own shoulders, Pan Yang also sighed, "She is a capable woman!" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Xuelan squinted at her man, "What, you like this very much?" ”

Pan Yang had a headache and said, "Look at you, where do you want to go, I just sympathize with her that it is not easy to support her family, if you can help, you can help, we have not suffered before, we can understand her somewhat." ”

Hearing Pan Yang say this, Zhang Xuelan was also silent, and said after a while, "Forget it, there will be a side dish or something at home in the future, send her more." ”

Pan Yang didn't expect such a thing to come out of Zhang Xuelan's mouth, and couldn't help but quip, "What? Aren't you afraid I'll have an outside eye on her? ”

Zhang Xuelan snorted, "You dare!" Alas, when I saw her, I thought what I could do if I were her, and sympathize with her with my heart, not to mention that Sister Sun is not bad."

After the two came out of Sister Sun's house, they walked in the direction of the county trade manager's department, Pan Shiyao gave Pan Yang the key to his dormitory in advance, they went to the dormitory first, there was a sink outside the dormitory, Zhang Xuelan took the dirty clothes that Pan Shiyao changed into the sink and washed them.

Pan Shiyao waited until it was almost dark before he came back on his bicycle, his face was flushed, he had to admit that after half a day of getting along, he was quite satisfied with Yang Xiuying, a girl, and waited for him to ask him how he was.

Pan Shiyao said without hesitation, "It's very good, if I can, I want to marry her." ”

Zhang Xuelan glared and said, "Marriage is not a joke, have you thought clearly?" ”

Pan Shiyao nodded solemnly and said, "Think clearly, mother, Xiuying said that she didn't want even a penny of dowry, she would marry me, she didn't mind if my family was poor or not, and she didn't mind if there were three turns and one ring, so she would follow me." ”

Pan Yang couldn't help laughing, patted Pan Shiyun on the shoulder and said, "Son, it's really good!" ”

I really didn't expect her big mother to be so proactive!

Pan Shiyao's sentence of not wanting a bride price made Zhang Xuelan very moved, and she hurriedly grabbed Pan Shiyao and confirmed, "That girl really said that she didn't want bride price money?" Don't want to make three turns and one ring? ”

Pan Yang couldn't stand the wishful thinking in Zhang Xuelan's heart, and couldn't help but say, "Don't think too much about beautiful things, even if other girls don't want a bride price, we really won't give a bride price?" You can't do too much, if you want me to say, everything that should be there must be is no less, and the family is not short of that money. ”

Zhang Xuelan asked, "Don't you lack that money?" I don't know how much money I have at home? At most, you can afford the bride price, and it would be good to buy some wedding supplies, so how can you have spare money to buy others? ”

Hearing Zhang Xuelan say this, Pan Yang realized that she had revealed her mouth, she had never mentioned the 700 yuan she spent selling watches to Zhang Xuelan, Zhang Xuelan naturally didn't know that she had this money, not to mention that even if she didn't have the money to sell her watches, she could sell all the things stored in her space, and she could get married decently.

At the beginning, she gritted her teeth and sold her watch, and she still had the idea of building two new tiled houses in the small kitchen connected to the vegetable garden, if nothing else, so that Pan Shiyao could have a new house to live in after he got married.

Right now, Pan Shiyao is still sleeping with his two younger brothers in the west room, so he can't get married and sleep with his younger brothers, right?

Adding someone to your family is more than just adding a bed.

Pan Yang preliminarily estimated that according to the current price level, it would cost two or three hundred yuan to build two or three hundred tiled houses, plus the bride price money for Pan Shiyao's marriage, buy three turns and one ring, and buy bits and pieces of wedding objects at home, how can it add up to a thousand children and eight hundred.

After spending all this money, you have to keep some capital for a small business in the future, right?

Don't look at the lot of things she stores, now is the time to spend money, and money is needed everywhere!

Zhang Xuelan also has a little abacus in her heart, she said, "Zhaoke, I don't know if Xiuying's words are counted, if she doesn't care about the bride price, I think this family affair is also successful, of course, we can't say that we don't give the bride price, it's just these three turns, you don't need to buy it for the time being, and when Xiuying passes the door, the family has a better hand, let's buy it again"

Before Zhang Xuelan finished speaking, Pan Shiyao frowned and interrupted, "Mother, are you burying Xiuying or trying to bury me?" When your son gets married, you want to do something so casually? Can you not always try to take advantage. ”

Zhang Xuelan glared and said, "Why did I take advantage of it?" I'm not thinking about this family, if there really is a thousand two or eight hundred in the family, can I care about this?! ”

Pan Yang said, "Okay, don't quarrel, leave the money to me, I promise to let Shiyao get married in a beautiful way." ”

Having said that, Zhang Xuelan still agreed to this family affair with the woman's high expectation of not wanting a bride price, in fact, Xiuying Lao Ziniang really didn't mention the bride price.

Imagine, Xiuying Lao Tzu Niang has no son, unlike most families in the countryside who expect to marry their daughters to earn bride price, and after the girls get married, they will withhold the bride price money and keep it for their sons to marry their daughters-in-law.

Xiuying Lao Tzu Niang also thinks about it, as long as the girl is satisfied, the other party treats their daughter okay, the bride price is given by the man, and it is the meaning of giving more and less, even if you don't give a point, Xiuying Lao Tzu Niang is not strange, these years, but how many people who are not willing to pay the bride price if they are doing well? Those who can't afford the bride price must be too poor, and instead of incurring a lot of debt for the bride price, they can't afford that money!

But on the day of the appointment, Pan Yang made the decision and gave a bride price of 200 yuan.

These two hundred yuan is the price paid by every household in the village and outside the village to marry a daughter-in-law, Pan Yang has an extra penny to earn the limelight, and she will not pay a dime less to make her look poor and sour.

But Zhang Xuelan still quarreled with her for the two hundred bride price!
