No. 95.12 Second Shift
After Pan Yang and Zhang Xuelan had a long talk on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, although Pan Shiyun still had work to do every day, it was significantly reduced, she had to drive the chickens, ducks and geese to the ridge after school, and at the same time put the chickens, ducks and geese, she had to carry the basket and beat some pigweed back, if Zhang Xuelan went to the kiln factory, she had to cook the dinner before Pan Yang and them got off work, and after the family ate dinner, she had to go to brush the dishes
After all these things were done, it was basically โกโก o'clock at night, everyone else went to bed, and she had to light a kerosene lamp to catch up with her homework under the lamp, and that's it, her mother was still talking about wasting kerosene in front of her.
But right now, Pan Shiyun doesn't have to do anything after school except for chickens, ducks and geese! Because her mother came back from the kiln factory early every day, with her mother there, she went to put chickens, ducks and geese, and her mother had already made dinner, as for brushing pots and dishes, her mother did it.
Of course, this change did not happen overnight, Pan Shiyun's work is to reduce the amount day by day, one day Pan Shiyun sat on the ridge, put the homework book on her lap, put her schoolbag on the ridge, not far away a group of chickens, ducks and geese pecked on the ridge, Pan Shiyun wrote and wrote homework, and suddenly realized that she had done too little work recently
This kind of cognition suddenly made her feel flattered, and then think about it, it seems that her mother has not scolded her recently, even when she lights the kerosene lamp to do her homework, her mother no longer mutters that she is wasting kerosene, if she really wants to calculate, her mother will say to her at most, "Go write your homework!" โ
Pan Shiyun tried hard to think about what happened recently, and after thinking about it for a while, she didn't understand what could make her mother's attitude towards her so good, let's just think that her mother was brain-open, and realized that her daughter was a padded jacket, and she should feel distressed!
Since Pan Shiyun has had enough time to study, her academic performance has almost improved rapidly, from the original midstream level to the top five in the class, as far as her current results are concerned, as long as she continues to maintain it, it is absolutely no problem to be admitted to the county No. 1 middle school.
In the end, it is a little girl, after the midterm exam papers were sent, Pan Shiyun couldn't wait to tell Pan Yang, because she knew that in this family, she was the only one who cared about her academic performance.
Pan Yang flipped through Pan Shiyun's test papers one by one, a sense of pride arose, he couldn't help nodding, and after closing the test papers, Pan Yang said with a smile, "I have made so much progress, what reward I want, as long as it is within Ada's ability, Ada's will agree!" โ
Hearing this, Pan Shiyun first glanced at Zhang Xuelan, who was sitting on the second-story stone steps sewing clothes, and smiled, not knowing if Ah Da would agree to say it.
seemed to feel that Pan Shiyun was looking at her, Zhang Xuelan didn't raise her head and said, "What do you two discuss, see what I do, I, I have no status at home now, I don't express my opinion." โ
Pan Yang snorted and said with a smile, "What your mother means, she agrees to whatever you say, say, what reward do you want, clothes?" Shoe? Schoolbag? Or a pencil case? โ
Pan Shiyun shook his head and said, "I don't even want these Ada, tomorrow Saturday, I want to ride a bicycle to the city, I have made an appointment with my classmates, go to No. 1 Middle School to see, I want to take the No. 1 Middle School exam!" โ
Pan Yang still asked Pan Shiyun to ask for something high, so he agreed without thinking about it, but just advised, "Do you know the way to the county seat?" How many people go, don't get lost. โ
Pan Shiyun said, "Don't worry, I remember the way to the county seat, there are nearly ten classmates in our class, and it will be fine, but some students don't have bicycles at home, so I have to ride them." โ
Pan Yang understood what Pan Shiyun meant, these days, bicycles are still expensive things, if you ride out casually, the tires are punctured and leaky, or the pedals are broken, some families will inevitably feel distressed, and they will not let the children ride out to go crazy, Pan Shiyun also took care of this, so he said hello to Pan Yang.
As soon as Pan Shiyun's voice fell, Zhang Xuelan said, "There is only a bicycle at home, what should I do if it breaks." โ
Pan Shiyun didn't take what Pan Shiyun was worried about, and said directly, "If you buy a bicycle, it's for people to ride, and if you ride it badly, you can buy it again." โ
As he spoke, Pan Yang took out twenty yuan from his trouser pocket and handed it to Pan Shiyun, saying, "Take it, buy something to eat and drink, there are many fun places in the city, don't just go to No. 1 Middle School, go to the department store, if you want to buy clothes, buy a dress for yourself, or watch a movie with your classmates." โ
Twenty yuan, Pan Shixun and Pan Shisong worked in the kiln factory for a month, and she just gave them twenty yuan, Pan Shiyun had never seen such pocket money, and he didn't dare to take it.
Pan Yang directly stuffed the money into the pocket of her gown and said, "Ada's said that there will be a reward, twenty yuan is not much, just buy a piece of clothing for ten yuan, and keep the rest to watch movies with your classmates, if you are admitted to a high school, Ada's will give you other rewards." โ
Pan Shiyun's face flushed with excitement, buy clothes, invite classmates to watch movies, that is the treatment that only children in the city enjoy, this is the first time Pan Shiyun feels the influence of the old Pan family after becoming richer, oh, no, thanks to her persistence, she is the only girl who eats first-class meals in the third grade of junior high school, and the female classmates in the class who eat second-class meals in the cafeteria are a few, and the third-class meals are the most, I usually don't know how many female classmates envy her
Pan Shiyun smiled and glanced at her mother again.
Zhang Xuelan seemed to have three eyes, and said directly, "Don't look at me, you are a pro-Ada, I am the stepmother, and the stepmother will let me cook now." โ
Pan Shiyun laughed, sighed, and went to the kitchen with a wind at her feet, let alone let her cook a meal, she was happy to do it!
You see, sometimes what people need is so simple, she is not afraid of tiredness, she is not afraid of hardship, she just wants her parents to give her a little more love, even a little change, can make her feel that everything is worth it.
This family seems to be the same every day, everyone rises and rests every day, but many things have quietly changed unconsciously, for example, Pan Shiyun has gradually become more talkative at home, and sometimes he can talk to Zhang Xuelan a few words, Pan Shisong went to the city and began to run long-distance transportation with Pan Shiyao, and it took a month to come back, for example, Wang Jiamei's amniotic water broke and was about to give birth
This time it was not like when Xiuying gave birth, Pan Shixun directly drove a tractor to pull Wang Jiamei to the township hospital, followed by Pan Yang and Zhang Xuelan.
Zhang Xuelan went away with expectations, disappointed and returned, Wang Jiamei came back after giving birth, Zhang Xuelan was not even in the mood to go to the new house of Hougangtou Pan Shixun and his wife, she didn't go anywhere, just sat on the big stone at the door of Lao Pan's house, and muttered, "It's a girl again, didn't I Zhang Xuelan hold my grandson's life?" Shouldn't Xiuyinghuai's twins still be girls?"
As a person in the new era, Pan Yang couldn't understand Zhang Xuelan's thoughts, but looking at Zhang Xuelan's lost soul, Pan Yang couldn't help but feel relieved, "It's just three things, Xiuying's baby will definitely satisfy your desire to hold your grandson." โ
Zhang Xuelan was in a bad mood, and replied angrily, "It's as if you have perspective eyes!" โ
Pan Yang smiled, "You should be, I have always been accurate in my speech, if you don't believe it, you can take a look." โ
Wang Jiamei stepped on it badly, although Xiuying also gave birth to a daughter, fortunately, she and Pan Shiyao did not break up before, and she has been with her in-laws, although Zhang Xuelan did not wait to see her at that time, but she couldn't stand Pan Yang's rare lobby sister, Xiuying really didn't suffer at all during confinement.
The clothes were washed by Pan Shiyao, the child was crying, even in the middle of the night, Pan Shiyao got up and coaxed, and Pan Yang opened a small stove for her to eat, poached eggs, fish soup, and broth, let her eat as much as possible, and the confinement should not be too comfortable.
This time it's Wang Jiamei's turn, the family is what she is trying to separate, at that time, I just thought that she and Pan Shixun lived their own little life, and now they have children, these two are parents for the first time, and they don't know how to fix the child at all, especially Wang Jiamei is still in confinement, it is inconvenient to wash clothes and cook anything, count on Pan Shixun to do these things, he can't take care of himself himself, how can he take care of Wang Jiamei's mother and daughter?
As for the aspect of eating, not to mention, after the husband and wife started a new stove, Wang Jiamei has always been cooking, Pan Shixun almost never stretches out his hand to the work done by the girls, you have to ask him, what will he do on the stove?
Bring water to a boil, boil water.
sat in this month, but Wang Jiamei was so angry that she couldn't do it, and she didn't like it, and she put aside the eighteenth generation of Pan Shixun's ancestors and greeted her, saying that the old Pan family is not a thing, and no one treats her as a person, she has a child, but someone comes to serve her.
Serve her? Zhang Xuelan didn't care about Xiuying at the beginning, how big of a face did Wang Jiamei have to Zhang Xuelan to rush to her laundry and cook?
Pan Shiyun goes? She is bent on taking the high school entrance examination, and it is easy for her mother to support her study, and it is too late for her to come back from school to read and review, can she go to Wang Jiamei to be an old mother?
I don't want to go, can I still let Pan Yang, the father-in-law, and Pan Hengchun, the father-in-law, go over to serve? Is it convenient?
In fact, to put it bluntly, Wang Jiamei did this, she had a good relationship with Pan Yang at the beginning, Zhang Xuelan didn't care about her, Pan Yang could still care? Not to mention washing her clothes and diapers, bringing a meal to cook and nourish her body, that's still not a problem.
This Wang Jiamei worked hard at the beginning, in the end, she saw her many times, it turned out to be Pan Yang, Pan Yang didn't watch it often, once a day, once every two days when she was busy, she didn't come back to see Pan Shixun's busy work, she also had compassion, she didn't say anything about working in the kiln during the day, and when she came back at night, she still boiled water, lay down the poached eggs, and put them in an iron basin with two bowls, and then added steamed dumplings to the poached egg soup, sprinkled with white sugar, and let Pan Shiyun send it when it was done.
Pan Shiyun also has opinions, she doesn't always hide her words in her heart like before, and complained to Pan Yang, "Ada, I always let me go, I don't want to go, I didn't go back, my second sister-in-law talked weirdly, I won't go"
Pan Yang patted her head and said, "You don't want to go, and let me be my father-in-law?" Xiaosu is too small, and if she doesn't serve it well, it will be hot on her hands, as for your mother, do you think she might go? Fortunately, that's your little niece, don't look at your second sister-in-law, you have to look at your second brother's face, be good, send it and come back. โ
Pan Yang's words can be regarded as making Pan Shiyun feel compassion, she understands the reason why she deliberately aggravated the word niece, which is nothing more than reminding her that she compares her heart to her heart, she herself is a girl, and she will not be accepted when she is young, but she can no longer impose what she suffered on the next generation, otherwise what is the difference between her and her mother, who is patriarchal?
This father and daughter, during Wang Jiamei's confinement, one cooked rice and the other delivered food, and they did a lot of things for Wang Jiamei, but Wang Jiamei is different from Xiuying, she doesn't know what gratitude is at all, only when Pan Yang's father and daughter do everything for her is due, she was annoyed by the little doll's crying, and she still caught everyone in the old Pan family and scolded her.
Nine days after the birth of Wang Jiamei's daughter, Wang Jiameiniang and several sisters-in-law of her mother's family came over, bringing a small half basket of eggs and a basket of dumplings, and nothing else.
In fact, how many things your mother's family sends also represents the importance of you, like when Xiuying gave birth to Pan Ying, Xiuying's mother sent a basket of eggs, a basket of steamed dumplings, and clothes and shoes made for the child, and gave the child 20 yuan.
With Xiuying as a comparison, Zhang Xuelan looked at what Wang Jiamei and her mother sent, and couldn't help but secretly say to Pan Yang, "It's embarrassing to send such a thing, her mother's money to buy egg dumplings is not enough to care about the vegetable money they spent on this meal!" โ
Yes, after Wang Jiamei's mother and a few sisters-in-law came, they first went to Hougangtou to see Wang Jiamei, and then came to Lao Pan's house for lunch, counting on Pan Shixun, he couldn't cook, so the people who came were guests, and Pan Yang had to entertain them.
Hearing Zhang Xuelan complain in such a low voice now, Pan Yang sighed and said, "Oh, let's not care how many things Jiamei and her mother send, send more and send less, you don't count in your heart?" Let's not worry about this, as long as we don't lose our courtesy, we don't miss the money for groceries. โ
Pan Yang said so, Zhang Xuelan stopped squeaking, one of them was in charge of the stove, and the other sat on the stove to light the fire, Pan Shixun greeted his mother-in-law in the hall
Zhang Xuelan braised carp, a bowl of braised pork, a bowl of braised chicken, a few seasonal vegetables, and a pot of mutton soup.
Chicken, fish, pig and mutton are all available, this meal, no matter where you get it, you will not lose the scene, and Wang Jiamei, her mother and a few sisters-in-law will be satisfied with oil, so naturally there is nothing to say.
After the old Pan family was satisfied, Wang Jiamei's mother and a few sisters-in-law patted their buttocks and went to Wang Jiamei's place again, Wang Jiamei tied a cotton cloth strap to her head, and was leaning on the bedside and eating the food sent by Pan Shixun.
Taking advantage of Pan Shixun's absence, Wang Jiamei and her mother asked Wang Jiamei if the old Pan family had made her angry after giving birth to a daughter.
Wang Jiamei pulled the corners of her mouth, snorted, as if she had opened a chatterbox, she was out of control, and said angrily, "Why didn't you give me anger?" I almost didn't dry me, I didn't cook my food, I didn't wash my clothes, I didn't bring my children, mother, I've never seen anyone like this."
Wang Jiamei kept talking, and several sisters-in-law sat on the edge of the bed and listened with a smile, have you never seen such a person? When they gave birth to a daughter, didn't Wang Jiamei and her mother treat them like this?
At that time, how did their sister-in-law say cool things?
They all have hands and feet, they can't do their own laundry, they can't cook by themselves, and they can't take care of their children!
