That night, when Pan Zhaofeng and Meng Guangmei went back, they passed by the door of the second room and saw that the light of his house was on.

Pan Zhaofang is now working as a mason, building a house for other people's families for a day during the day, after he came back, Zhu Xiuzhi didn't mention Pan Hengchun's hospitalization to him, and now Pan Zhaofeng called him out coldly, Pan Zhaofang wondered, "What's wrong?" ”

Pan Zhaofeng got straight to the point, "Atta appendicitis, hospitalized in the city, we are going to drive the tractor over tomorrow, you and the second sister-in-law are ready to prepare, let's go together tomorrow, as for the Shiting sisters and brothers, any one can go." ”

Hearing the news, Pan Zhaofang opened his mouth and said half-loudly, "Cheng, I'll go and tell the owner later, I won't do tomorrow's work, what time will you leave tomorrow?" ”

Pan Zhaofeng said, "The eldest sister hasn't been notified yet, and it's not a hurry, so I guess I have to go to the alley." ”

Pan Zhaofeng didn't stay long, and went home after explaining, and after Pan Zhaofeng left, Zhu Xiuzhi pretended not to know anything, and asked Pan Zhaofang, "What are you doing here?" He must not have come well. ”

Pan Zhaofang entered the hall and sat down, sighed and said, "Tomorrow we have to work for a day, Ada's hospital is in the city, we have to go and see." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Xiuzhi snorted, and muttered angrily, "Dead old man, you can do everything for people, you will lose three yuan a day's work, no, don't go, I went to see the Lingshi Pavilion, and it's not a big problem, why should the whole family go over to see him, as if the old and young are idle and have nothing to do!" ”

Zhu Xiuzhi's words made Pan Zhaofang a little tempted, a day of collapse is three yuan less, if it is not a last resort, he really doesn't want to collapse the work.

Pan Zhaofang hesitated, "Is this good?" ”

Zhu Xiuzhi simply made a decision for her man, and immediately said, "What's wrong, you continue to do your work tomorrow, Shiting and my mother will take a look!" ”

Pan Zhaofang didn't squeak, which can be regarded as acquiescence.

Here Pan Zhaofeng is responsible for informing the second room, and Pan Shiyao rode to inform him of his aunt Pan Zhulin before dawn the next day, and when Pan Zhulin and Pan Shiyao rushed to Lao Pan's house, Zhang Xuelan swept around and asked Meng Guangmei, "Guangmei, didn't you notify the second child yesterday?" What time is it, and there's still no one in sight! ”

Meng Guangmei said, "Noticed, tell them to gather at the mouth of the alley, who knows what they are rubbing at home!" ”

As soon as Meng Guangmei's voice fell, Pan Zhaofeng directly asked his son to call Pan Zhaofang and them, and after a while, the people in the second room came over slowly, Pan Zhaofeng didn't see Pan Zhaofang, frowned and said, "What about the second brother?" ”

Zhu Xiuzhi and her son got on the tractor one after the other, raised her eyelids and said, "Go to work, I'll go with Shiting." ”

Lao Tzu was sick and hospitalized, and his own son didn't go to see it, is this like words?!

Pan Zhaofeng was immediately angry, and before he could say a word, Meng Guangmei glanced at him and signaled him not to worry about the radish, after all, the people in the big house didn't say anything, what are they doing with so much idle business in the third room!

But Pan Zhulin couldn't help it, his face was not very good-looking, and he said to Zhu Xiuzhi, "Can the second brother divide the weight, is Ah Da important, or is his work important?!" ”

Zhu Xiuzhi immediately replied angrily, "Isn't this that you can't get away, the old man is not about to run out of breath, he is in a hurry to do something, and when he comes back, he can't look at it anymore!" ”

Pan Zhulin was so angry that he couldn't speak, sighed heavily, turned his head and stopped paying attention to Zhu Xiuzhi.

Except for Xiuying, who stayed behind to take the four children, including Pan Shisuo, the rest of the Pan family went. Of course, Pan Shiyun and Pan Shixun, who are far away in the county seat, don't know yet.

It takes more than a little to drive a tractor from the township to the city, and when they arrive, it is noon, Pan Hengchun breathed in the morning, and Pan Yang went to a small restaurant outside to buy him some porridge, and he is feeding it now.

Although Pan Hengchun said that he didn't need to come to see him, but such a big family came, of course he liked it in his heart, the older generation said that it was a blessing to have more children, so that they would be supported when they were old and taken care of when they were sick?

But he swept around the people, but he didn't see his second child, although the second daughter-in-law came, but can it be the same as his son?

The old man's face didn't change much, but he couldn't stop sighing in his heart, there was such a person in one generation, the previous generation was his second son, and the next generation was his second grandson, alas, there was no perfect one!

It was the time of the meal, and it was not a matter to make everyone hungry, Pan Yang took out fifty yuan from his trouser pocket, found an opportunity to hand it to Pan Shiyao, and asked Pan Shiyao to lead them out for some dinner.

Pan Shiyao immediately opened up, but he didn't accept the fifty yuan, he didn't want it, and Pan Yang didn't force it. When these people eat out, they have to spend twenty or thirty yuan, and when they are about to pay, Pan Zhaofeng and Pan Shiyao rush to pay, and Zhu Xiuzhi is sitting there leisurely and teething, anyway, she is not going to pay for the meal, you know, she only has a total of ten yuan in her pocket!

The old Pan family stayed until the evening before going back, Pan Zhulin wanted to stay and take care of Pan Hengchun, and said, "Big brother, you go back and rest, I will come to see here, and I am more careful than you in taking care of people." ”

Pan Yang has to admit this, Pan Zhulin is indeed a filial child, the brother and sister did not argue about which one to stay, Pan Yang went back with the army that night, and after arriving home, Pan Zhaofeng took the initiative to mention, "Big brother, after eating, I will call the second brother, and the three brothers will discuss how to get Ada's hospitalization." ”

The old man's hospitalization, firstly, involves the cost of hospitalization, and secondly, the problem of care, so he can't let Pan Zhulin take care of it all the time, and he must arrange someone to replace him.

Thinking of this, Pan Yang said, "Cheng, you can call Zhaofang in a while." ”

Zhu Xiuzhi's ears are pointed, this is a coincidence that she heard it, she is a fine person, think about it with her toes, you know that it is not good to call her man for a while, so when Pan Zhaofeng came to call her man, Zhu Xiuzhi put the dishes and chopsticks aside, and the pot didn't have time to wash, so she followed Pan Zhaofang's ass to the old Pan's house, she had to follow, now the big house and the third room have one heart, if they dare to join forces to bully her man, she Zhu Xiuzhi is the first one who is unwilling.

When the second and third rooms came, Pan Yang and they had just eaten, and the dishes and chopsticks were not confiscated, Xiuying knew that they had something to discuss, so she quickly cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, went to the kitchen to wash, and boiled the washing water.

The hall is full of people of the older generation, and she doesn't have the right to speak, so Xiuying won't make trouble if she is bored.

In the hall, Pan Yang saw that the people who could talk to the old Pan family were all there, and he didn't beat around the bush, and said bluntly, "Ada's hospitalization for the past two days, I paid 300 yuan, Ada's estimate is that she will have to live in the hospital for more than ten days, and I will temporarily pay for the follow-up expenses, and then divide the three of our brothers after being discharged from the hospital, Zhulin is someone else's daughter-in-law, we don't care if she wants it, she will take care of Ada's in the hospital." Besides, it's not good to let Zhulin see it alone in the hospital, it's too tiring, so let's do it, the three of us will watch it for two days each, do you have any comments on Zhaofang and Zhaofeng? ”

Pan Zhaofeng immediately nodded and said, "Cheng, I listen to the arrangement of the eldest brother, you have been in the hospital for two days, and I will change the bamboo forest again." ”

Since Pan Zhaofeng has no problem, there is only Pan Zhaofang left, Pan Yang turned his head and asked, "Zhaofang, what about you, do you have any opinions, if you have no opinions, then"

Before Pan Yang finished speaking, Zhu Xiuzhi was dissatisfied, "Big brother, aren't you bullying my family?" How many people are in your family, you can't go, Shiyao and Shisong can go, but what about my family, Shiting still has to go to school, just Zhaofang, if he goes to work, who will work? ”

As soon as Zhu Xiuzhi's voice fell, Zhang Xuelan said, "You have a small family, and I held you in the first place and didn't let you have a son?" Besides, there are a lot of Zhaofeng's families? Zhaofeng can go, but Zhaofang can't go? ”

Zhu Xiuzhi pursed her lips, "Can Zhaofang be compared to Zhaofeng?" Zhaofeng doesn't go to work and still has money to earn, what about Zhaofang, if you collapse a day's work, you will lose a day's wages, I see that you don't have backache when you stand and talk, look at us Zhaofang like this, want to bully us or what? ”

Pan Yang ignored Zhu Xiuzhi's noise, and asked Pan Zhaofang directly, and said without any emotion, "Zhaofang, you give me a word, are you in charge of the house, or are you a woman in charge?" ”

Pan Yang almost said that he Pan Zhaofang was a bad man who was afraid of women, Pan Zhaofang's face was not good-looking, and he yelled at Zhu Xiuzhi to shut her up, and then said to Pan Yang, "You said so, what other opinions do I have, when will you notify me, is there anything else?" It's okay, I'm leaving. ”

After saying this, Pan Zhaofang immediately left, he looked like a bear, but Pan Yang was angry enough, as if Pan Hengchun was just her own Lao Tzu, before Pan Yang was still thinking in his heart, Pan Zhaofang's family was more difficult, and she silently gave him the old man's medical expenses, but now, he must be let out, and if he is not allowed to have some blood, he really takes everything for granted!

On the day Pan Hengchun was discharged from the hospital, Pan Yang and Pan Shiyao, father and son, drove a tractor to pull back the old man and the things used in the hospital.

Being busy is not enough to make her angry, what makes her angry is that whenever she greets guests, the money for buying vegetables is paid by her big house, and she can't even see the shadow of the gifts or money given, in contrast, the second and third rooms are not too easy, and they don't care about these things at all.

After greeting the guests for a few days in a row, Zhang Xuelan broke out, and said to Pan Yang anxiously, "Now that the old man's illness is not cured, I shouldn't fight in front of the old man, Pan Zhaoke, I will tell you ugly things in front, wait for the old man to get better, let him go out and pass alone, I don't want the two rooms in the grocery store, just give it to the old man, let him live there alone, like this, in the future, when the old man is sick and paralyzed in bed, it will exhaust me, you see Xiuzhi and Guangmei, which of them asked?" Why do you want me to watch it alone? The old man co-authored with only one son of yours and one of my daughters-in-law, and the other two sons are dead?! ”

Zhang Xuelan's voice was loud, and she crackled in Pan Yang's ears and kept talking, making Pan Yang's brain hurt, and she comforted her, "You make a small voice, it's not good for Ada, you're tired, I'll buy you vegetables in the future, and I'll cook for you, right?" I'm the boss, I'm the eldest brother, the burden on my body is naturally a little heavier, if I am also compared with the second and third children, then who cares about Ada, compare the heart to the heart, you raise your son to prevent old age, Ada, you are tired, then I will do it, I can't do it?! ”

Divide Pan Hengchun out and let him pass alone, Pan Yang categorically can't agree, even if she is dissatisfied with the attitude of the second and third children towards Pan Hengchun, but she knows in her heart that it is the same thing, but she Pan Yang can't be happier than them, if that's the case, what is the difference between her Pan Yang and the second and third children?

Pan Yang said so lowly, Zhang Xuelan can't be out of the fire no matter how big she is, she knows better than anyone how tired her man is for this family, Zhang Xuelan glanced at Pan Yang who was smiling at her, and muttered loudly, "Forget it, I can only suffer a loss if I stand up to you as a man!" ”

Pan Yang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "It's a blessing for us to suffer a little loss, don't always think about taking advantage of it, there will always be a time when you will suffer a big loss." ”

Zhang Xuelan glared and said, "Don't tell me these big truths, Pan Zhaoke, let me tell you, the old man spent money on hospitalization hurry up and take care of the second and third children to come to me, I don't worry about the third child, after all, the transaction is in one piece, it's a big deal to deduct the money from the transaction, especially the second child, you keep an eye on me, if you let me know that you dare to pity the second room, secretly pay for the second room, see if I don't fall out with you!" ”

Pan Yang wiped the cold sweat on her head, and said in her heart that she had already rested the idea of paying for medicine in the second room, otherwise Zhang Xuelan would not have bitten her to death if she knew about it?

Pan Hengchun lived in the hospital for half a month, and spent a total of more than 500 yuan, which was divided equally among the three sons, each family was less than 200 yuan, Pan Yang didn't expect Pan Zhaofang to take the initiative to give her more than 100 yuan, and went directly to collect the money, too lazy to argue with Zhu Xiuzhi because of this matter, Pan Yang didn't pick Pan Zhaofang's absence, just waited for Pan Zhaofang to get off work at night.

At the beginning, the three brothers all said that the cost of medicine was evenly shared, and now although Pan Zhaofang was surprised that the old man had spent so much money in the hospital for only half a month, he still abided by what he said at the beginning and asked Zhu Xiuzhi to give the money to Pan Yang.

But Pan Zhaofang still couldn't believe it, "Ada, spent so much money? ”

Pan Zhaofang's implication is that Dafang, don't just report a number of money to get him!

Pan Yang is not a fool, so he naturally heard the meaning of Pan Zhaofang's words, pulled the corners of his mouth, showed a slight sarcastic smile, and said, "If you don't believe it, come with me now to see the list of Ada's hospitalization expenses, I still have it." ”

Pan Zhaofang really went to see the bill with Pan Yang, and calculated it carefully, only then did he believe that Pan Yang was right, and sneered, "I'm just afraid that my eldest brother will miscalculate the account."

Pan Yang couldn't help but sneer from her nostrils, she should be more serious, and add all the money they have spent on buying cauliflower in their big house these days, no wonder Zhang Xuelan is so angry, these people just don't know how to be blessed in the blessings, the old man doesn't need them to raise them, and there are so many moths for a single medical expense, look at them!

If Pan Yang could be a person who could ignore Pan Hengchun's feelings, he would have cleaned up the second room a long time ago, in the final analysis, Pan Yang still didn't want to hurt the old man's heart, and he didn't want him to give birth to himself It was superfluous.

Pan Hengchun has been discharged from the hospital for five or six days, Pan Shiyun only learned from Pan Guangchen's mouth that her grandfather was sick and hospitalized, when Pan Shiyun learned the news, it was already Friday, anyway, she had to go back quickly on Saturday, before going back, Pan Shiyun hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to go to the county power supply department, and I don't know if her second brother knew about Grandpa's illness, although her second brother had an unpleasant quarrel with her grandfather, but Pan Hengchun is their grandfather, there is a big contradiction, and her second brother should also go back to see her grandfather at this time.

Thinking so, after class on Friday, Pan Shiyun went to the county power supply department, and asked around to find Pan Shixun.

Pan Shixun's unit dormitory is in the compound of the power supply department, two rows of bungalows in the front and back, Pan Shixun lives in the first row of bungalows in the back, Pan Shixun originally lived in a dormitory with the other two employees of the unit, and then Wang Jiamei went, Pan Shixun followed up and applied for a single dormitory, at the cost of paying eight yuan per month for accommodation.

Pan Shixun gritted his teeth and responded, and now he took his woman and his daughter to nest in that small dormitory, there was not even a pot, and the whole family could only go to the canteen for dinner.

When Pan Shiyun was looking for him, Pan Shixun's family of three had just come back from eating in the cafeteria, and when they saw Pan Shiyun coming, Pan Shixun was stunned for a moment, and then he called Pan Shiyun in to sit.

Pan Shiyun glanced at Wang Jiamei, who ignored her, paused, and said, "Second brother, Grandpa is sick and was hospitalized some time ago, you can go back with me tomorrow to see him!" ”
