Pan Yang's grocery store sells the most popular calendar cards of this era, a bit like the traffic magnetic card of her era, with patterns printed on the front for children, flowers, animals, scenery, etc., and a calendar on the back, five cents a piece.
Zhang Xuelan took a calendar card from the grocery store, and carried a pack of cigarettes for a dime and two cents in her pocket, and went to the house of Mrs. Wang in the same village, asking her to help see which day is suitable for moving.
Mrs. Wang loves to smoke, and Zhang Xuelan is going to give her a pack of cigarettes as a thank you.
Not long after Zhang Xuelan went to Mrs. Wang's house, she rushed back in a hurry, and said to Pan Yang, "Mrs. Wang has a good day, this month 28 is a good day, it is suitable to move and build a house, Zhaoke, you will go to the city tomorrow to sue SΓΉ Shiyao, you must move again on the 28th, and then we have to go to celebrate him." β
Originally, Pan Yang didn't want to make such trouble, but after thinking about it, people really can't move a few times in their lives, and it's a big deal, so they have to have a good time. After making up his mind, he was worried that the young couple would move the house in advance, Pan Yang didn't dare to delay, and rode to the county seat the next day, but fortunately, the young couple hadn't moved in first, but Xiuying was busy sorting out the things in Pan Shiyao's dormitory.
Seeing that Pan Yang came suddenly, Xiuying hurriedly let her into the house, poured her a glass of water, and said, "Why did Adaa come suddenly?" β
Pan Yang relayed Zhang Xuelan's words to Xiuying, and Xiuying suddenly said, "Mother is right, it's a move, don't say invite others, your family will definitely have a good time." On the twenty-eighth day, everyone in the family came, and I called my Ada-Niang and the eldest sister as well, all of which were regarded as recognition doors, and nothing else was notified, so as not to make the family break the bank. β
Xiuying's worried Pan Yang understands that if she stays in the countryside, moving to treat guests means giving people more gift money in disguise, the old Pan family, their relationship with the second and third rooms has not been close, if it is said, the second and third rooms are reluctant to add gifts, if you don't add it, you will be poked in the backbone by the same villagers, and instead of worrying about this matter at that time, you will not notify any of them.
Pan Yang nodded and said, "Your mother's house should be notified, provided that you don't let people break the bank, let's be happy to move, and we can have a meal together." β
Xiuying should be good, but it was really the day of the move, her mother's family still spent money to buy her a brand new cotton bed quilt, and the old Pan family paid for the little couple to add some pots and pans and other cooking stove supplies, this new home can be regarded as decent!
On the day of the move, Pan Yang asked Pan Lao Wu to help look at the grocery store, the door of the house was locked, all the old and young went out, and Pan Yang drove a donkey cart to the county seat before dawn, because he went to the county, the family was put on new clothes, and there was a smile on his face, and Pan Shixun even clamored to live in the city for a few days.
It's just that as soon as Pan Shixun's voice fell, Pan Hengchun immediately vetoed it, and said, "Your eldest brother goes to work, your sister-in-law has a child, and she can't take care of it herself, so I have to take care of you when the time comes, don't make a mess here, we'll all come back after dinner today." β
Pan Shixun said unhappily, "The house was bought by Ada, why can't I live here for a few days, I don't care, I just want to live!" β
Hearing the dissatisfaction in Pan Shixun's words, Pan Yang had some brain pain, she was not an only child, she could naturally understand Pan Shixun's feelings, Pan Shixun was already a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child, he understood everything he should understand, not to mention Pan Shixun's temperament, Pan Yang somewhat understood, this child will have her headache in the future.
Pan Yang compromised and said, "If you want to stay, stay for two days, and come back as soon as you go to school." β
Pan Shixun sighed happily, he didn't dare to tell him, he is now skipping class almost every day, even if he is in class, he doesn't listen carefully, he either sleeps on the table, or his head is deserted. He really can't read this book anymore, but what is he going to do after he doesn't read it? This kid never thought that he was not like Pan Shiyao who got out of school early, and after getting in touch with society early, he understood what he wanted to do, but Pan Shixun, it was not so much that he was unambitious, but that he was confused.
He hadn't done anything, so how did he know what he could do in the future?
Putting aside this big boy who is unclear about the future for the time being, the reason why Pan Yang drove the donkey cart to the county seat today is to make it convenient for Pan Shiyao and them to move things.
When Pan Yang arrived at the county seat, Pan Yang first sent the family to the new home, she drove to the trade manager department by herself, Pan Shiyao took a day off today, he sorted things out in the dormitory, Xiuying cleaned up in the new home, Pan Yang rushed to the county trade manager department, Pan Shiyao had already packed up the things, wooden boxes, hemp bags, and bits and pieces of sundries were all thrown in the washbasin and footbath.
After the father and son were busy, they picked up everything and put it on the donkey cart, and when Pan Shiyao jumped into the car, Pan Yang waved his whip and drove to Xiaoximen.
On the road, the father and son chatted about the recent changes in the county, Pan Shiyao said, "Ada, it is the front street where we used to go to steal and sell vegetables, oops, now everyone is buying and selling there, from morning to noon, it can be lively, so that no one wants to go to the supply and marketing cooperative, and Sister Sun, some time ago I led Xiuying to Sister Sun's house for a turn, Sister Sun now put her tent directly to the gate, blatantly opened a small restaurant, early Sister Sun said that she fried fritters, steamed buns, and boiled porridge in the morning, At noon, I fried side dishes, cooked rice, and baked flatbread, and business was booming all day long."
Pan Shiyao said endlessly, Pan Yang pricked up his ears to listen, thinking that the place where Pan Shiyao lives is next to the slope of high school, and he can also make a small deal at home in the future, Pan Yang said, "When Xiuying gives birth to a child, you can also consider setting up a tent at the door of your house to sell breakfast, you are next to high school, it is definitely a good place!" β
Pan Shiyao heard Pan Yang say this, and also felt that it was okay, so he nodded and said, "This is indeed feasible, at the moment I can work alone to support Xiuying, and when I have a child in the future, the pressure will inevitably be great, Xiuying can also reduce my burden by doing a little business at home, she works hard and quickly, and there is no problem with the designation." β
When it came to high school, Pan Shiyao suddenly remembered something, slapped his head twice, and said angrily, "Ada, I forgot to mention it to you." Tian Xugang, you know this person, his father-in-law is in charge of the infrastructure in the county high school, and now the high school is expanding, and more and more rural children from the towns and townships are coming to school, and the original canteen of the high school has two thatched houses, and now there are more students eating, and the two thatched houses are not used at all, so they are ready to build a new canteen. Tian Xugang, the green brick who built the canteen, and his father-in-law had already bought it in the Chengguan Village brick factory, but they were not responsible for sending the green bricks to the city, so Tian Xugang asked me if there was anyone I knew at home who could take this job. β
Pulling bricks is not a good job, nothing else, all by body, no one wants to do this at all, not to mention that pulling bricks is nothing more than two means at the moment, one is to drive a tractor for transportation, not to mention whether the average person can afford to buy a tractor, you know, in the whole commune, there are only one or two in a production team who can drive a tractor, which means that even if you can afford a tractor, it may not be able to drive well!
What's more, in order to pull bricks, I deliberately bought a tractor, which is not enough to pay upside down!
Another means is to pull by manpower, rural families have a frame cart can push the frame cart, if there is an old donkey, horse that is better, directly with a donkey cart or horse-drawn carriage transport, but can save a lot of trouble!
Thanks to the blessing of working alone, Pan Yang and Pan Lao Wu were given an old donkey and a frame cart, which is the old donkey cart she is driving now, since there is a donkey cart at home, then you can consider taking over this job.
Pan Yang asked, "Did Tian Xugang and his father-in-law say how to calculate the freight?" β
Pan Shiyao thought for a while and said, "I heard Tian Xugang say, it seems that Dorado gets more money, two bricks are a penny, and now according to the donkey cart at home, it is estimated that one trip can pull more than 100 yuan, that is to say, one trip can earn five yuan, two trips a day, you can earn ten yuan, Ada, if you can do it, this is a money-making job, you don't have to worry about food and housing, just let Xiuying cook at home, if I can't leave my post without permission, how good I can do it with you, we can pull four or five times a day!" β
Hearing Pan Shiyao say this, Pan Yang was indeed a little tempted, she didn't want to earn more than ten yuan a day, but wanted to take the opportunity to pull bricks to see how people burn bricks, because Pan Yang wanted to open a brick factory.
The people of Panjia Village said that Pan Zhaoke is a person who has an idea in his heart, which is not false at all, Pan Yang does have an idea in his heart, don't look at her in addition to being busy with farming, she stilts her legs every day to do groceries in the grocery store, her mind is constantly turning.
Although the grocery store can earn some money, but the premise is that there is still a shortage of materials, and if you want to buy good things, you have to ask for a ticket, and Pan Yang has found a way without a ticket, so there are many people who buy her things, on the other hand, this kind of heat will not last long, once the productivity of the whole society increases, there will no longer be a shortage of living materials, and the goods are everywhere, and then how much money can be expected to be made by the grocery store at that time, it is also a fantasy.
Pan Yang is not a person who rests on her laurels, she has to walk ahead of others and aim for a way out. Obviously, opening a brick factory is a good way.
Pan Yang is almost certain that in less than two years, it will not only be the high school that is renovating the cafeteria, but the entire society from top to bottom expanding, expanding, and expanding. Whether it is a county town with bungalows and tiled houses, or a rural village full of dilapidated thatched houses at a glance, which one should not change its appearance?
If the city wants to build a building, the countryside will almost have to tear down the thatched houses sooner or later and build brick and tile houses, especially when the peasants have an income from farming, if the family has a son who reaches the age of marriage, which family will not tighten their belts and grit their teeth to build a new house?
Chance, definitely an opportunity.
People are not afraid of a lot of money, although the daily profit of grocery stores is already good in the countryside, but Pan Yang is not satisfied with this, she also wants to be better.
Looking at the work of the grocery store, it's completely okay to leave Pan Hengchun to guard, she can go find something else to do!
With a plan in his heart, Pan Yang took over the job almost without hesitation, and said to Pan Shiyao, "Shiyao, when you wait for tomorrow, you will give Tian Xugang a reply, and tell him that I can take the job." β
Pan Shiyao sighed and said, "That's good, I'll ask Xiuying to make out the bed in the west room, Ada, don't leave today, just stay here until the whole project is done and then go back." β
Pan Yang didn't want to toss back and forth like this, Pan Hengchun, Zhang Xuelan still had a few radish heads, so let them catch tomorrow's car back!
But the problem came again, so many people stayed here overnight, and Pan Shiyao couldn't live there!
Pan Shiyao smiled, "What's so sad about this, Xiuying and I will go back to my dormitory tonight, and if the two beds at home can't sleep, we will make a bunk on the ground, anyway, it's not cold now, and I can stand it." β
Pan Yang's heart can only be like this.
The father and son stopped the donkey cart at Xiaoximen's new home, Xiuying was busy picking vegetables and washing vegetables in the yard, Zhang Xuelan and Xiuying and her mother were in the kitchen, one was making noodles, and the other was sitting on the stove to boil water and prepare to kill the chicken, she went to Yaqian Street early this morning to buy five catties of meat, a grass mixed fish, and a few kinds of current vegetables, plus the big rooster and eggs that Zhang Xuelan brought, she can definitely bring out a whole table of dishes!
Pan Hengchun and Xiuying came out together to help Pan Yang's father and son unload the goods, and the bits and pieces were put away one by one, the washbasin stand was placed behind the door of the hall, the tables, chairs, and low stools were placed under the eaves of the courtyard first, and the buckets, pots and pans were given to Xiuying, so that she could be placed in the kitchen
Xiuying's sister gave birth to a child with her second child, who was only six months old, and the family was busy coaxing, and she couldn't help much, so she could only hold the child and wander around the yard, or stand or sit and chat with Zhang Xuelan and them.
Pan Shixun, Pan Shiyun, Pan Shisong and Pan Shisu, their four brothers and sisters, plus the daughter of Xiuying's eldest sister, five radish heads made a mess, crazy from the house to the outside of the house, and then rushed into the house from the outside, there were melon seeds, peanuts and candy on the table in the hall, all into the stomachs of several radish heads, and all the melon seed shells, peanut shells and candy skins were thrown on the ground
At first, Xiuying swept a few times, but then she simply didn't care, let them make a fuss, plus they ate in the hall at noon, and threw a piece of plates, dishes and chopsticks, and after everyone was full of food and drink, Xiuying really couldn't stand it, so she asked them to move a stool to the eaves of the porch to chat, she was busy cleaning up for a long time, sweeping and scrubbing, and finally made it look decent again.
Just when Xiuying was satisfied with the results of her busy work for half a day, Pan Shiyao told her that not only will the old Pan family not go back tonight, but her mother's family will also stay here for a night, and wait for the two families to rush back to the township together tomorrow morning!
Xiuying sighed, looked at the two families who were chatting under the eaves of the porch, and pulled Pan Shiyao into the east room.
The east room is their room, the shelf bed in it was left by Tian Xugang and his cousin, the shelf bed is covered with brand new bed bedding, red satin quilt cover, powder blue plaid cloth sheets, it really looks like a newlywed room.
Thinking of this clean and neat place, it is estimated that it will be unseemly to toss again at night, Xiuying lowered her voice and complained to Pan Shiyao, "It's too noisy, I was tired and had a back pain just now, and I just finished cleaning up, why did you tell me that they would continue to keep making trouble at night, I knew that I wouldn't clean up!" β
