Although Xiuying repeatedly told Pan Shiyao that she could not do anything, go directly to his house, and when they are old enough, they will go to get a marriage certificate, she will not think his family is poor, as long as there is something to eat.

Xiuying's warm feelings for Pan Shiyao made Pan Shiyao both sweet and distressed, and he kept persuading Xiuying that since their family affair was settled, he couldn't run away, what was she afraid of?

Xiuying took Pan Shiyao's arm, smiled sweetly, and said firmly, "You are mine now, so I'm not afraid of you running away." ”

Pan Shiyao's face turned crimson, and he said to her, "In this case, we have to let the family build a house, at least let you have a place to live, we can't send our two younger brothers to the east room to sleep with Adaniang because of our marriage, they are so old, it is not appropriate to sleep with Adaniang." ”

Pan Shiyao is right, even if Xiuying really wants Pan Shiyao's two brothers to sleep with Lao Tzuniang, she can't say it, she thought about it, and then said, "After I get married, I can go to the county seat with you, live in your dormitory, cook and wash clothes for you, and warm your bed when it's cold." ”

In the end, Xiuying was also a little embarrassed, they hadn't gotten married yet, and she began to say such bold things.

Pan Shiyao put his arm on Xiuying's shoulder, almost persuading, "It's not that the dormitory can't be done, but at the moment my dormitory doesn't even have a stove, and I can't lead you to the cafeteria to eat every day when I get married, now the team is busy, and when I get free, I will apply to the captain to support the stove under the eaves of the dormitory, and it is more appropriate to pick you up when the time comes, and if I go out with the team, I don't worry about leaving you in a dormitory." ”

Xiuying heard that he was completely thinking about himself, and the unhappiness in her heart had long disappeared, she shook Pan Shiyao's arm and admonished, "Then before the latest year, I can't turn over this year, and I will be one year older after the New Year!" ”

Pan Shiyao smiled, "No matter how old you are, it's not too big!" ”

Xiuying loved to hear this, and she couldn't stop giggling.

Since it is said that the wedding date is set before the year, it is late autumn now, the old Pan family has to start to get busy, taking advantage of the autumn busy, Pan Yang goes to the mountains every day to hunt game, the chickens at home have also grown up, Zhang Xuelan left a few hens that lay eggs diligently, the rooster did not wait to grow up Zhang Xuelan killed all the air-dried, let Pan Yang take it to the county seat to sell, more hens can lay seven or eight eggs every day, Zhang Xuelan has a frugal life, usually the family almost does not eat, there are many eggs, Pan Yang took all the county seats.

There is still half a piece of wood that Pan Yang bought back from the scrap yard at home, Pan Hengchun took it out and beat it with a hammer and axe when he was fine, and those that could be made into wooden boxes were made into wooden boxes, and those that were enough to be put together into wooden cabinets were made into wooden cabinets, and when they were all done, they were painted again, and they looked decent, and the new ones were left for Pan Shiyao's marriage, and the half-old ones were put in the hall for them to store things.

Yiqiē is preparing in an orderly manner, except for Zhang Xuelan, Lao Pan's family is looking forward to and rejoicing at Xiuying's arrival, after all, her arrival means that the next generation is not far away.

One point of joy and two points of worry, approaching the autumn busy, the captain of the production team, Pan Shicong, smoked a cigarette and went to the alley of the old Pan family, the old Pan family had just had dinner, and they were sitting on the stones at the gate and gossiping with a group of neighbors.

Pan Shicong also joined their chattering team.

Pan Shicong's face was full of sadness, and he sighed, "Uncle Zhaoke, I'm afraid we won't have a good year this year, the harvest in the first half of the year is okay, in the second half of the year, alas, you see that there was a rain, and the soybeans and corn in the field can't grow, especially the soybeans, if you can't hand it in according to the indicators given by the above, it is estimated that we will have to deduct our grain in the first half of the year to make up for it, which is really difficult for our people!" ”

As soon as Pan Shicong's voice fell, everyone fell into a panic, they usually don't care about the production in the field, anyway, it is a collective work, and the captain can watch it, even if you do more work, in the end you will not share more of your food, in this case, why bother with that leisure, they only care about how much food can be distributed this year at the end of the year.

Now I heard Pan Shicong say that I am afraid that there will not be much food this year, can I not panic, no food means that they will have to tighten their belts next year!

Pan Yang hurriedly asked, "How much can I expect to collect?" ”

Pan Shicong said, "In the past few days, I have turned all the land in the team, only Diwan is slightly better, one acre of land is estimated to be able to collect a hundred catties, not on the mountain and under the dam, one mu is estimated to only be fifty catties, but what to do." ”

Although there is food in the Panyang space, she is not afraid of starving the old Pan family, but she also does not want to see the villagers starving, the harvest is already small, and she is handed over to support the construction of the city, but the people in the city are full, so what do the villagers who are facing the loess and facing the sky eat?

Knowing that this year's harvest is not good, when the autumn is busy, everyone seems to be passive and slacking off, and it is delayed until more than nine o'clock in the morning to gather the production team, and they are not willing to work until the work point, three or two people gather together, complaining in a low voice, they all have a heavy and tired look on their faces, and even the village's 'childless household' Er Mazi actually threw the sickle into the ground, and aired, "I can't eat the rice, I do a fart job, and I took it all into the pocket of the commodity grain account, this job, do it. He. Damn! ”

Pan Shicong shouted and scolded, "Er Mazi, what are you doing, work hard, it's useless to complain!" ”

Er Mazi is a childless household in their village, unable to have children, people in their forties, there are only two people in the family, he and his woman, and the people who don't have to feed the next generation don't have to worry about not having enough to eat, not to mention that they are old and young!

Er Mazi fell the sickle, and many people followed and threw the things in their hands, and shouted at Pan Shicong, "Captain, it's not that we don't want to do it, it's that this job is really impossible to do, I'm him. Mom is tired and busy for a year, why let those commercial grain accounts eat? They are easy, who cares if we live or die? Anyway, I can't eat enough, I can't eat two meals, and I can live with one meal. Mom won't be working today, see what the boss can do to me! ”

One person is easy to make trouble, but what if everyone strikes to make trouble? Who cares!

Pan Shicong slammed the cigarette butt in his hand, and sat on the ridge with his ass so angry, no matter what, he didn't care at all, he wanted to drink the northwest wind, let's drink it together!

The corn and soybeans of the new season were harvested, and the soybeans were collectively stacked in the threshing floor and crushed.

In order to prevent some stealing and deducting corn and keeping it at home, the brigade weighed all the corn cobs on the scales when they were distributed, and when they were recovered, the corn kernels were put in a pile and the bare corn cobs were put in a pile, and the combined weight of the two items should be the same as the one that was distributed, otherwise the weight of the two items should be deducted directly from the grain distributed at the end of the year.

Despite this, there are still sneaky deductions, which are not much in return, and they have to be handed over to the top, since this is the case, why can't they deduct some food at home?

Zhang Xuelan is obviously very methodical, she deducted the corn kernels, and then poured some water on the bare corn cob, of course, she can't take it to the scale after splashing the water, so that people who know how to see at a glance that she has deducted the corn, after splashing the water, she has to take it to the sun to dry for a while, and then put it away and take it to the scale when it is dry, no one will pay attention!

There is really a policy and a countermeasure, Pan Yang was dumbfounded, because of this little cheating, the old Pan family secretly deducted more than 20 catties of corn, that's it, Zhang Xuelan still said with some pity, "If it weren't for the fact that this year's harvest is too small, I will be found if I deduct too much, otherwise there will definitely be more than that, it would be better if soybeans could also be deducted, not to use it to extract oil, it is also good to grind tofu!" ”

On the day when the corn was handed over collectively, they all hugged the production team, and three or two team members sat around and chatted under the corridor.

In fact, in this situation, everyone knows what to do.

There is no old man on the second pockmark, no small on the bottom, it can be said that there is no concern, he has always spoken without hindrance, and his voice is like a loudspeaker, "The two points of our family's self-reserved land are planted very well, why can't they be done together?" Because even if you get it right, it doesn't have to be your own! In my opinion, everyone can just go their separate ways! ”

Pan Yang's eyelids jumped, and he had to admire Er Mazi, he really dared to say this in front of everyone.

As soon as Er Mazi's voice fell, he was slapped on the head, and Pan Shicong, the captain of the production team, lowered his voice and said, "Er Mazi, you give me a few words, you say it again, beware of me reporting it regardless of the situation, and approve it when the time comes. You should be honest. ”

Far from it, it was only criticized a while ago. Zhu Keqin, who is fighting, is still suffering in front of him, I heard that he is squatting in the class room, and there are people who teach him every day, whipping, kicking and punching, there are also some.

Thinking of Zhu Keqin, Er Mazi shrank his head, and said unwillingly, "In these years, it's not allowed to tell the truth?" You are the production team leader, and the team members are about to run out of food, so what do you think you should do? ”

Pan Shicong was silent, thinking that when he and Pan Yang went to the county seat to buy fertilizer, Pan Yang said that, Pan Shicong threw the question to Pan Yang and said, "Uncle Zhaoke, what good way do you have?" ”

Pan Yang calculated the time, and felt that even if he did something out of line, it would not be too big, Pan Yang looked at the villagers sitting under the eaves of the porch, their skin was dark and rough due to the wind and sun for many years, and they couldn't see oil and water all year round, all of them were as thin as a bamboo pole, Pan Yang gritted his teeth and said, "Let's start with the winter wheat planting, let's just do it separately!" ”

As soon as Pan Yang's voice fell, someone immediately agreed, "Yes, do it separately, starve the timid to death and support the bold, if you want to die, I will also be a full ghost!" ”

It is not a trivial matter to do it separately, but there is a clear policy at the top, it is not allowed to contract production to households, and it is not allowed to divide the fields to work alone

Pan Shicong smoked a cigarette and didn't squeak for half a sound.

Er Mazi said, "Captain, be quick and sharp, give me an accurate word!" ”

Pan Shicong didn't have a good breath and said, "Give your mother's words!" You open your mouth and say by the way, when the time comes, the blame is Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is also old and young, if something happens to Lao Tzu, who can support my family! ”

Seeing that Pan Shicong has always paid attention to the exemplary image, at this time, even foul words burst out, everyone was silent, the atmosphere was a little heavy, and Pan Shicong said, "Okay, okay, let's disperse, what should I do when I go back, scatter." ”

When everyone dispersed, Pan Shicong called Pan Yang, walked with Pan Yang, and said in a low voice, "Uncle Zhaoke, I have always believed to you, is this really possible?" ”

To tell the truth, Pan Yang didn't dare to promise him anything, although she knew the direction of history, but she couldn't guarantee that nothing would go wrong in the middle, in case something really happened

Pan Yang rubbed his temples and said, "Shi Cong, think about it again, I can only say that if something happens, I won't let you be held responsible alone!" ”

Pan Shicong gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go and discuss with Wang Youtian tonight, if he dare, we'll do it alone, he. Damn, I can't live anymore! ”

Pan Shicong asked Wang Youtian to discuss the results, Pan Yang did not know, after the end of the autumn rain, it rained for two days, after the rain stopped, the winter wheat should be planted, just when Pan Yang thought that they would work together in the next season, after dinner in the evening, Pan Shicong came to her house and informed her to go to Wang Youtian's house at seven o'clock, and the team was going to have a meeting.

Pan Yang could faintly sense what was going on.

Zhang Xuelan asked, "Shi Cong, what's the meeting?" Are we all going? ”

Pan Shicong said, "Just Uncle Zhaoke, just go, Auntie, you can take the children to wash and sleep at home." ”

When Pan Yang arrived at Wang Youtian's house, the heads of the 34 households in the Panjia Village Production Brigade had already gathered in the small courtyard of Wang Youtian's house, and the women were not allowed to come, Pan Shicong was extremely cautious, in his opinion, a woman's mouth is a trumpet, and once a woman knows, the secret is no longer a secret.

Wang Youtian's house was filled with the smell of choking smoke, Panjia Village was divided into two brigades, Pan Shicong, the captain of the West Brigade, He Yaoguang, the captain of the East Brigade, and the deputy captains of the two teams, the village secretary Wang Youtian, the deputy secretary and the village committee members, and the village cadres who could talk in the village were all there.

The number of benches in Wang Youtian's house is limited, everyone simply squatted on the ground, Wang Youtian squatted in the middle, he broke the silence and said, "Our team committee has discussed, and we plan to divide the fields into households, and hide them from the top and the bottom, but there is one rule, each family must ensure that they have paid enough public food in the coming year."

As a result, this layer of window paper was pierced, and it immediately became lively, and someone said energetically, "Whoever dares to say it, who is raised by his woman!" You don't need to be secretary, we have to deal with him too! ”
