The old Pan family divided eight acres of land from the production team, seven acres were planted with winter wheat, and one acre was planted with rape.

"So how do you have to have about 4,000 catties, calculated down an acre of land can probably harvest more than 500 catties, but much better than in the production team, in recent years, our production team harvested the best year, an acre of land has only harvested 200 catties, if you encounter a bad year, an acre of dozens of catties have also been collected, hey, now think about it, we have survived"

According to the indicators issued to the production team of Panjia Village this year, two thousand catties of wheat should be collected, two thousand catties, which of the production team in previous years did not sigh and complain that the indicators given by the top were too high, this year is good, aside from other families, the old Pan family is a single family, and it is easy to hand over two thousand catties of wheat, not to mention that these two thousand catties are still evenly distributed to more than 30 families!

After removing the less than 60 catties of wheat handed over to each family, and then keeping enough for the family to have a year's rations, Pan Yang loaded the remaining 3,000 catties of wheat onto a donkey cart and transported it to the township grain station, where it was recycled at the price of a dime and a penny per catty, earning more than 300 yuan.

There is also an acre of rapeseed planted, which harvested more than 300 catties of rapeseed, and Pan Yang kept some of it to squeeze oil at home, and sold it for 250 catties at the recycling price of one dime and eight cents a catty, earning about 50 yuan.

In other words, in the first half of this year, Lao Pan's family earned nearly 400 yuan from a single land!

In this era of ultra-low prices, 400 yuan is a sky-high price for old farmers, you must know that people with high wages in the city have an income of about 400 yuan a year, and they can't even dream of it until they are separated.

Just when all the families in the production team were ecstatic, Pan Yang didn't dare to get too carried away, although at the moment they earn more money by farming, it is because of the shortage of food in this era, and it is not a long-term solution to earn money by farming alone.

Far from it, as far as Pan Yang knows, Xiaogang Village, at the beginning of going it alone, Xiaogang Village's wealth was well-known throughout the country, but later, when the policy changed, the whole country went it alone, and the grain output increased year by year, when everyone solved the problem of food and clothing, food will no longer be a precious thing, until Pan Yang was reborn and came back, Xiaogang Village was still the same, when others were improving, it still maintained the same old way, which means that it has been annihilated by the tide of history.

Pan Yang doesn't care what others do, but she doesn't want the old Pan family to stop here, she has to find another way out.

After a rain, energetic old farmers began to work in the fields again, ploughing the soil and planting the crops of soybeans, corn, cotton and rice for the first half of the year

After the end of the farming, the old farmers are idle, now every household has spare money in their hands, the purchasing power is naturally increased, if you are careful, it is not difficult to find that now not only there is a lively market in the township, even Panjia Village has begun to have a small market, the township is every market is not a single meeting, Panjia Village is every day, the gathering point of the market is on the main road at the gate of the production team, and even every day there are people squatting in front of the thatched house belonging to the old Pan family to sell vegetables.

Seeing others like this, Pan Hengchun couldn't squat, and he also had to carry the burden to sell vegetables, eggs, duck eggs and goose eggs!

Pan Yang didn't object to Pan Hengchun's move, you let this idle old man suddenly be idle and enjoy his happiness, he didn't adapt to it, just do it, don't care how much money you make, just do something to pass the time.

Pumping this idle time, Pan Yang took the train to the provincial capital, she thought for a long time, when others don't sell vegetables, she secretly sells vegetables, that can make money, when everyone else sells vegetables, she still thinks about selling vegetables, that is to rest on her laurels, she decided to go to the provincial capital to look for other business opportunities.

After making up her mind, Pan Yang simply packed her luggage, asked Zhang Xuelan to make her some food, put it in a rattan basket and carried it, took the bus to the city early in the morning, and prepared to take the train to the provincial capital at ten o'clock in the evening.

Because he had money in his hand, Pan Yang didn't want to treat himself badly, so he took the letter of introduction from Wang Youtian, Pan Yang went to the ticket window and said to the conductor, "Comrade, I want a sleeper." ”

Hearing this, the conductor raised his eyelids, looked Pan Yang up and down, and saw that although she was not dressed very well, she was decent, and hesitated, "Is it a cadre?" Show me your papers. ”

Panyang Sparta, after a long while, said, "Do you have to be a cadre to buy a sleeper?" ”

The conductor looked like you were playing with me, and instantly changed his expression, and said angrily, "Since you are not a cadre, what kind of mess are you here to make, you can only sit on the ticket, and you don't want to buy it!" ”

At this point, Pan Yang understands that there are still levels of taking trains in this era of feelings, and ordinary people don't want to sleep in sleepers even if they have money in their hands, so let's buy your tickets obediently!

Pan Yang, who was deflated, had to buy a ticket instead, and when she waited for the train, she went to the train station to hang out as usual, and when it got dark, she returned to the train station, found a place to sit in the waiting shed, and waited for the train to enter the station boringly.

Pan Yang was stunned, and suddenly someone patted her on the shoulder, Pan Yang turned his head to look at it, and immediately said happily, "Brother Tiezhu!" ”

Liu Tiezhu was also surprised, sat down next to Pan Yang, and said with a smile, "Brother Zhaoke, I stared at you for a long time just now, for fear that I would be dazzled, but I didn't expect to see you here, we haven't seen each other for more than a year!" ”

But no, the last time they met, they couldn't even afford to eat, and they were still running around to solve the problem of food and clothing, and they were reluctant to live in a guest house, so they could only huddle in the bridge and spend the night.

Speaking of which, the two of them can be regarded as sharing hardships!

Thinking of his previous encounters, Pan Yang couldn't help but feel a little emotional, seeing that Liu Tiezhu had put his luggage at his feet like her, Pan Yang said, "Big brother, where are you going?" ”

Liu Tiezhu said, "When I went to the provincial capital, a neighbor brother who had a good relationship with my family worked in the provincial machinery factory, and said that their factory was going to recruit temporary workers. ”

Pan Yangqi said, "It's not a commercial grain account, and people are willing to recruit you?" ”

Liu Tiezhu said, "You definitely don't want to hire me, it's not because my neighbor's brother is doing it inside, he is the team leader in the workshop, and he is looking for a relationship to get this job for me." ”

Pan Yang nodded clearly, too, Pan Shiyao is not a commercial grain account, and the blessing of Fang Jianguo can have a serious job, not to mention that it is still recruiting temporary workers, which is estimated to be relatively easier.

Liu Tiezhu turned to ask her, "Brother Zhaoke, are you also going to the provincial capital?" What to do? ”

Pan Yang smiled, and did not hide the partner in front of him who was in trouble, and said honestly, "I am also idle and have nothing to do, go to the provincial capital to go around, and want to make some small deals." ”

Liu Tiezhu suddenly smiled and said, "It's still the eldest brother who has the right idea, your Panjia Village is now famous in our production team, just because we learned that you are working separately, in the second half of this year, we are also shouting that we are going to work separately, and we are called a great secretary angry, no way, who still listens to him, he doesn't agree, we will all pick and choose."

Liu Tiezhu talked endlessly about their production team, Pan Yang couldn't stop being happy when he heard it, thinking with his toes, the village secretary couldn't agree to them going it alone, after all, there are still a few people like Wang Youtian who don't pay attention to fame and fortune.

You know, working separately is equivalent to hollowing out the power of the secretary, when working together, to put it bluntly, the secretary is the emperor of the soil, what time to do anything, all have to listen to his arrangement, even the things shared by the production team, he is also in charge, not only does the secretary not have to work in the field, but also can get food every year, now it's good, everyone works separately, the secretary no longer goes to the field to do farm work, that is really going to drink the northwest wind.

With someone talking to pass the time, I don't feel that the waiting time is long, until ten o'clock in the night, when the sound of the steam sounds, the train enters the station, and the passengers in the waiting shed begin to check their tickets and get on the train one after another.

Although Pan Yang and Liu Tiezhu were in the same carriage, the seats were not together, Pan Yang discussed with the passengers next to Liu Tiezhu to change seats, and after a toss, all the passengers found their respective places and sat down.

With the roar of the train, it began to march towards the provincial capital.

Pan Yang didn't eat dinner, got in the car and sat down for a while and began to sing about the empty city plan, Pan Yang turned his head to look around, this point was also eating, she put the basket on the small table, and took out the food that Zhang Xuelan prepared for her.

In the basket, there are steamed leeks and egg-stuffed buns, a few home-fried fritters, salted duck eggs, and steamed bacon and salted fish spread on the rice, which are served in large bowls.

Pan Yang was really hungry, and he didn't care whether it was hot or cold, he took it out and started eating, and at the same time beckoned Liu Tiezhu and said, "Big brother, eat a little?" ”

Liu Tiezhu was indeed hungry, but he was not polite, and he thanked him and ate with him.

The two of them ate so well that the mother and son sitting opposite them swallowed their saliva, especially the five or six-year-old boy, who looked at Pan Yang with blank eyes, and after looking at it for a while, he turned his head and whispered to his mother, "Mom, I'm hungry." ”

The young woman stroked the little boy's hair, took out a piece of bread from the cloth pocket she was carrying, took out the dried pickles, and said to the little boy, "If you are hungry, eat some of this pad." ”

The little boy whispered, "But I want to eat meat."

At this time, the policies have not been fully relaxed, most of them are in the state of one policy in one place, and it is obvious that the conditions of the mother and son's hometown are still not good, and they are already at a good level of being able to eat well.

Although the little boy said in a small voice, Pan Yang still heard it, she looked at the little boy in front of her with yellow muscles and thin muscles, pushed the basket towards the mother and son, and said with a smile, "If you don't mind, just eat it together." ”

The little boy's mother was flattered and hurriedly said, "Then what's so embarrassing, I'll give you money." ”

As she spoke, the woman took out a broken handkerchief from her jacket pocket, which was scattered with some one, two, five cents, and one or two cents, and there was not even a face value of a dollar, which was obviously the woman's savings for a long time.

Pan Yang waved his hand and said, "No, no." ”

While speaking, Pan Yang took a bun and handed it to the little boy, and put two large pieces of fat and thin meat in front of the little boy, and smiled at the little boy, "Eat it, eat it." ”

The little boy glanced at his mother first, and when he saw that his mother nodded, he thanked him, grabbed the large piece of meat, and devoured it.

Because of this meal, Pan Yang and the mother and son relationship has become a lot closer, and during the conversation, Pan Yang learned that the young woman's surname was Zhao, and Pan Yang called her Sister Zhao.

Sister Zhao took her son to the provincial capital to find her man. Sister Zhao's man is not a cropper in the traditional sense, but is looked down upon by a cropper, a second-rate son who does not do his job properly, has resold rat poison before, and was arrested by the brigade for approval. After fighting, she simply left her hometown and wandered, leaving her for two or three years, leaving Sister Zhao at home to do farm work and take care of her son and her man's blind old mother.

Just when Sister Zhao was about to lose it, her man finally came to the news and asked her mother and son to go to the provincial capital to look for him, and as for the blind old mother, she stayed in the countryside to let the little uncle take care of her.

Pan Yang couldn't help but ask, "The provincial city is so big, do you know where your family is?" ”

Sister Zhao shook her head and said, "Just those few words on the telegram, the secretary told me, and my man said he would pick us up at the station."

Pan Yang nodded and said no more.

The train clanged, and finally arrived at the provincial railway station the next morning, Pan Yang and Liu Tiezhu helped the mother and son carry their luggage, and the four of them went out of the train station together, Liu Tiezhu had to say goodbye to Pan Yang because he was in a hurry to find his neighbor brother, leaving Pan Yang and Sister Zhao's mother and son still standing at the door of the train station.

Pan Yang said, "Sister Zhao, have you seen your family's mouth?" ”

Sister Zhao kept watching in the crowd, and after a long time, she shook her head blankly and said, "I didn't find it." ”

During last night's chat, Pan Yang learned that Sister Zhao was illiterate, and now she was leading a child, so Pan Yang would leave them alone now, Pan Yang was a little unbearable, and waited with the mother and son, Pan Yang said, "Let's go, I'll take you to have breakfast nearby, and then come back after eating." ”

Sister Zhao hesitated, looked down at her son, and then said, "That's okay." ”

Sister Zhao went out for the first time, she was a little afraid of this unfamiliar place, hugged her son, followed Pan Yang all the way, Pan Yang led them to the state-run hotel near the train station, first settled the mother and son of Sister Zhao, and then went to the window to line up to buy food, she asked for a drawer of buns, three fritters, and three bowls of soy milk.

In addition to spending money, food stamps are still needed.

Long before he came, Pan Yang had already gone to the township to exchange wheat for enough food stamps, and after Pan Yang finished buying food, Sister Zhao realized that Pan Yang had invited their mother and son to have a meal again.

Pan Yang's move made the honest and simple rural woman feel moved and uneasy, she didn't spend money on everything, she was not sure, and she didn't want to eat Pan Yang's things anymore.

Pan Yang smiled, "I bought a lot, if I don't eat it, it will be wasted, and it is shameful to waste." ”

Sister Zhao didn't know anything else, she still remembered a few quotes from the red treasure book, and when she heard Pan Yang say this, she ate it in a panic, for fear of being criticized for wasting food.

After eating, Pan Yang led Sister Zhao's mother and son back to the train station, and waited until the sun was shining until the sun was shining, and finally waited for Sister Zhao and her man.

As soon as she saw her man, Sister Zhao couldn't help but redden, raised her hand and hammered her man a few times, as if she wanted to vent the grievances she had suffered over the years, and said fiercely, "Why haven't you died yet, just remembered our mother and son!" ”

Their family reunited, Pan Yang watched from the side, Sister Zhao's man was not tall, his face was thin, and his skin was white, he was indeed not a cropper in the traditional sense, he let Sister Zhao beat him for a while, and then he noticed Pan Yang standing not far behind Sister Zhao.

Sister Zhao and her man stared at Pan Yang up and down a few times, making sure that Pan Yang was not in the range of people he knew, and then asked Sister Zhao hesitantly, "Who is he?" ”
