An autumn rain and a cool, after a cold air attacked, the temperature along the Huai River dropped sharply, the thin coat is no longer enough to keep out the cold, at this time the old Pan family has already put on a sweater, cotton coat, Pan Hengchun, who is not frost-resistant, even put the thin cotton jacket on his body, several rains in a row, the old Pan family grocery store is ticking and leaking rain every day, wet and cold.

When the weather finally cleared, Pan Yang decided to take the time to renovate the roof and prepare to replace all the original reed poles with tiles.

Pan Hengchun said, "It's not cost-effective, cut some new reed poles and spread them on it, just this broken mud house, it's not worth scattering tiles." ”

Pan Yang had her plan and said, "It's better to keep out the rain with tiles, I plan to turn the grocery store into a stone tile house in the spring of next year, and these tiles can still be used when the time comes." ”

Hearing Pan Yang say this, Pan Hengchun smoked his cigarette pouch and said, "Yes, I don't think this mud house will last long." ”

In the middle of the afternoon, Pan Yang said hello to Yao Baozhong and Pan Zhaofeng, and prepared to leave the kiln factory in advance, and by the way, let Pan Shixun drive the tractor to transport some tiles back, and then help her take a hand, father and son work together, they can scatter all the tiles before dark, and do not delay Pan Hengchun to sleep in it at night.

She planned very well, before calling Pan Shixun, it would not be like that, Pan Shixun had his excuse, and said to Pan Yang, "I was still thinking about Adati, I was going to leave early today, Jiamei's eldest brother and sister-in-law were fighting, Jiamei and I have to go over and have a look."

At first, Pan Yang didn't think much about it, so he said, "The husband and wife are fighting, what are you and Jiamei going to mix blindly, and Jiamei will persuade you to make peace, don't go to trouble anymore." ”

Pan Shixun hesitated, "That can't be done, Jiamei has to go"

Seeing Pan Shixun's eyes dodging, Pan Yang realized something to some extent, so he said, "She wants to go, you let her go, the family is too busy to finish, you still go to mix with those who don't, the grocery store always leaks, it's wet and cold inside, your grandpa can't stand it if he stays inside, let's smoke"

Before Pan Yang finished speaking, Pan Shixun retorted and said, "I said that I still have to go to the production team in Wangjia Village." ”

Pan Shixun's words and expression were impatient, Pan Yang was not blind, he could see it.

Pan Yang stopped squeaking, glanced at Pan Shixun, who had evasive eyes for a while, nodded, and said without emotion, "Cheng, since the matter of Jiamei's eldest brother and sister-in-law's war is more important, then you can go." ”

Hearing the sarcasm in Pan Yang's words, Pan Shixun was silent.

It's his usual trick, just don't squeak and see what you can do to me.

Since Pan Shixun had important matters waiting for him to solve, Pan Yang had to bother Pan Zhaofeng to drive a tractor to help her pull tiles, leaving Yao Baozhong and his son to watch the fire in the kiln factory.

After the tiles were scattered, Pan Yang beckoned Pan Zhaofeng again, and carried the stove at home to the grocery store, and now the stove is not used for dry branches, Pan Yang does not have to worry about Lao Tzu's head poisoning, first carry the stove at home to warm the old man, and Ming Pan Yang can buy another one and put it at home.

Pan Yang thought about letting Pan Zhaofeng work for half an afternoon, and didn't say that it was not good, so he asked Zhang Xuelan to fry two meat dishes in the evening, and asked Pan Shiyun to go to the grocery store to get a bottle of wine back, and she herself slipped to the back post, and called Pan Zhaofeng over for two drinks while Pan Zhaofeng's house had not yet eaten.

Pan Zhaofeng's house and Pan Shixun's new house are next to each other, one after the other, when Pan Yang slipped to the door of Pan Zhaofeng's house, Pan Shixun was standing outside the door with dishes and chopsticks, talking and laughing with the neighbors on the other side.

Pan Yang glanced at Pan Shixun twice, and couldn't help sneering, this is what he called something in the afternoon!

Pan Shixun also saw Pan Yang, and the braggart of Fang Cai and his neighbors disappeared in an instant, so he shouted Ah Da and said, "Ah Da, have you eaten?" ”

Pan Yang smiled and said, "I just finished scattering the tiles of the grocery store, how can I have time to eat." ”

Pan Shixun's face was red and white for a while, but fortunately, the sky was dark, and no one could see the clues, Pan Shixun looked at Pan Yang, whose eyes were dark, and greeted, "Then, do you want to come and eat?"

Saying that, Pan Shixun seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly explained, "Jiamei and I, the two of us went to the production team of Wangjia Village to take a turn, and came back early." ”

Pan Yang nodded, a feeling of disheartenness flooded her heart, and she was so happy that she didn't want to say anything more to Pan Shixun, so she went directly to Pan Zhaofeng's house and called Pan Zhaofeng to drink two glasses.

Pan Yang entered Pan Zhaofeng's house with the front foot, Pan Shixun returned to his house with the back foot, in the small kitchen, Wang Jiamei was sitting on a small bench drinking porridge, Pan Yan just fell asleep, she had to eat two mouthfuls of food, the little girl was too noisy, she didn't want to sleep on the bed, she had to be hugged by someone, but Wang Jiamei couldn't be tossed, she had to carry her for laundry and cooking, if it wasn't for her daughter, how could Wang Jiamei be willing to suffer this foreign crime!

Seeing Pan Shixun's hurried footsteps and coming back from outside, just like someone behind him, Wang Jiamei said, "Hurry up and reincarnate!" ”

Pan Shixun came in and lowered his voice and said to Wang Jiamei, "If someone asks you, especially my mother or my Ada, where did I go this afternoon, you will say that I will go to your mother's house together, and your eldest brother and sister-in-law are fighting at home, let's go and see." ”

Hearing this, Wang Jiamei's eyes widened, and she said angrily, "Your eldest brother and sister-in-law have just fought, okay, it's not good for you to curse my eldest brother and sister-in-law!" ”

Pan Shixun was anxious, and said fiercely, "If my mother and I ask you, you must say so." ”

Wang Jiamei glanced Pan Shixun up and down, and asked, "Why do you say that, give me a reason, or did you go out to fool around again in the afternoon!?" ”

How dare Pan Shixun tell Wang Jiamei that he went to play cards with a group of second-rate friends in the afternoon, and lost more than a dollar

Pan Shixun casually said with a reason, "Double happiness, you know, right? His family built a house, and today the foundation was laid, and I went to help carry the stones. ”

Wang Jiamei glanced at Pan Shixun suspiciously, and asked, "Really?" ”

Pan Shixun said, "Can there be a fake?!" I know, he will say that I am too busy with family affairs to finish, and I am still blindly the hearts of outsiders. ”

Hearing Pan Shixun say this, Wang Jiamei finally believed him, but in the next second, she slapped her thigh, sighed, and said, "Oh no, I took Pan Yan outside in the middle of the afternoon, I don't know if your mother saw it, if she did, she wouldn't have to wear it." ”

Wang Jiamei was startled, and scared Pan Shixun, he was also afraid that he would poke his little trick, he thought he was hiding it well, but he still couldn't escape Pan Yang's eyes, but Pan Yang didn't want to poke him, and it was nothing more than two results, one was that Pan Shixun confessed his mistake and turned around to do something, and the other was annoyed and angry, and quarreled with Pan Yang. Whether it is the former or the latter, Pan Yang does not want to see it.

Fortunately, he is a father and son, and he is stiff, he doesn't look good on any face, and he makes people laugh at it.

This matter can be regarded as temporarily put aside in Pan Yang's heart.

In a blink of an eye, it was the season of soybean harvesting, Pan Shiyao's family of three and Pan Shisong all took a break to run long distances, and took the time to come back to harvest, during the day, several main male laborers in the family plus Zhang Xuelan went to the ground to cut beans, Pan Shiyun and Xiuying's aunt and sister-in-law stayed at home to do housework, although there are two sisters-in-law at home, but Pan Shiyun still has to go to school, only after returning from school in the evening can be busy, and Xiuying is at home during the day, she has no time to take care of Pan Ying, so she handed Pan Ying to Pan Shisuo and asked him to lead his niece to play.

Xiuying, who is pregnant with twins, although she is only more than five months old, looks like she is seven months old, and she will inevitably have difficulty in moving, and she can't squat in her clothes. Rubbing, simply change into clean rubber shoes, step on it with her feet, and she can handle other work.

She has nothing to complain about, after all, she is only busy working twice a year, and the old peasants rely on the sky and the ground, not to mention how much money the grain can be sold, and their whole family still has to rely on the grain collected in the field to eat.

At present, the housework is equivalent to being all undertaken by Xiuying, the key is that she has not complained anything in front of her in-laws, which makes the 'comfortable' Pan Shiyun very embarrassed, not to mention going to school during the day, as long as the bell rings after class in the evening, she immediately rushes home on a bicycle and rushes to help Xiuying work.

Xiuying could understand the pressure of her sister-in-law's high school entrance examination, so she didn't let her be busy, and said, "You can just drive the chickens, ducks and geese out and let them go, don't be busy with the rest, I'll do it." ”

This person is like this, not everyone wants to care, if one of the two sides takes a step back, then the other may retreat, now Xiuying is rushing to work, Pan Shiyun feels very guilty, after all, her sister-in-law's belly is so big, and she is busy, Pan Shiyun promised to go to put chickens, ducks and geese, by the way, she will help Xiuying beat back the pigweed the next day, if the adults in the family have not come back to eat, Pan Shiyun will chop the pigweed again, and store it in the rattan frame first, The next day, Xiuying fed the pigs and saved a lot of trouble.

In the busy farming season, although everyone in the family is very tired, the atmosphere is good, the mood is high, even if you are a little tired, your heart is happy!

Of course, it would be better if Pan Shixun and Wang Jiamei, the two-stirring sticks, didn't mix.

The old Pan family goes to the ground every day, working in a hurry, and then looking at Pan Shixun's two people, the two lonely people, or the lazy donkey grinding and urine, far away, you can hear the two people arguing in the field.

Can you not quarrel, other people, one, two, three, four, or five people, not long after they went to the field, swishing, half of the soybean straw in the field is gone, they are good, they can't do much in half a day.

The husband and wife don't want to think about it, although there are many people, but there is also a lot of land, they have few people, and the land is only half and a half of this acre, but those who are diligent and fast, are still worried about not finishing?

At most, you can get all the soybeans on the threshing floor in one day!

Wang Jiamei was so tired that she threw the short sickle into the ground, sat on the ridge with her buttocks, pointed at Pan Shixun, and greeted his ancestors for eighteen generations, "Why am I blind to marry a man like you, I haven't been able to enjoy some happiness with you, and I have endured all the hardships, your old son and mother are not things, just I work for the two of you, who cares about the children in the family?" Did they mention that they would help us with the kids? If I hadn't cheekily thrown the child to your grandfather, you Pan Shixun would have worked alone in the field today! ”

Wang Jiamei is also anxious, the two of them can't do the work, not to mention, after being busy in the field during the day, they have to go back to laundry, cook and take care of the children, the same daughter-in-law, Xiuying doesn't even need to go down, just take the children to cook at home, such a comparison, Wang Jiamei can not be angry in her heart.

Her in-laws are obviously biased towards the boss!

said that it was good to divide the family, but now the boss is still following them, and the relationship is to kick them out!

Seeing that Pan Shixun was silent and was still working with his head bored, Wang Jiamei casually took a mud block and smashed it at Pan Shixun, and said, "Isn't it a separation?" Your old son is still helping your eldest brother and sister-in-law to work, since you help them do it, then they have to do our work too, go, go back, we won't do it, let your old son and mother come and do it! ”
