18. Distribution of food
Pan Zhaofang is not a fool, Pan Yang can fool others in the past, but it is not good to fool him.
Not to mention anything else, just looking at Pan Yang's new clothes, how many years has his eldest brother not made new clothes? It's not the New Year, not to mention the sudden change of clothes, the family can eat a meal of meat in three days, no, I also ate pork and cabbage dumplings at night.
Don't ask him where he knows, there is no such thing as an impermeable wall.
In the yard, Zhang Xuelan was washing the dishes, and Zhu Xiuzhi was standing next to the well and chatting with Zhang Xuelan. Zhu Xiuzhi's eyes were purring, and she swept back and forth in the yard, first seeing pork and pig's trotters hanging under the eaves of the porch, and then noticing the small vegetable garden against the west wall, in which the green lettuce grew very well.
Zhu Xiuzhi asked with a smile, "Sister-in-law, there is another vegetable garden at home." ”
Zhang Xuelan was afraid that she would talk nonsense outside, so she said, "There are many people in the family, the old man eats all year round in my house and lives in my house, the original vegetable garden is too small, and you can't eat food at home if you don't make a bigger one, Xiuzhi, you won't go to the brigade and tell others, right?" ”
I have to say that Zhang Xuelan is very attentive, and knows that she will carry Pan Hengchun out to suppress Zhu Xiuzhi at a critical time, reminding Zhu Xiuzhi that the big house has been raising Pan Hengchun, and let them talk less cool in the second and third rooms.
Sure enough, Zhu Xiuzhi said again and again, "How can that!" There are more pairs of chopsticks in the family, I don't know the difficulties of my sister-in-law, they are all my own family, I won't go out and talk nonsense, even my vegetable garden is too small, and I am ready to secretly open a bigger one! ”
After speaking, Zhu Xiuzhi sighed heavily.
Zhang Xuelan asked casually, "What's wrong, something bad happened?" ”
Zhu Xiuzhi waited for Zhang Xuelan's words, she sighed again, and said with a bitter face, "Seeing that it's the New Year, I'm worried about how to spend this year!" There are six people in my family, and they all open their mouths to ask me for food. Alas, it's only to blame that I married a man who didn't work, Zhaofang can be like a big brother with the ability, I don't have to worry! ”
Zhang Xuelan heard the sour taste in Zhu Xiuzhi's words, pretended not to know, and just said, "Xiuzhi, I don't understand what you say, what can your eldest brother do, he has the ability to be lazy and lazy, don't let Zhaofang learn from him, I think Zhaofang can do it, and if you earn more, don't complain." ”
Seeing Zhu Xiuzhi pursed her lips and looked disapplieving, Zhang Xuelan comforted her again and said, "It's not just your family, we are all difficult, what can we do, let's survive one day at a time!" ”
Zhu Xiuzhi lowered her voice and said, "Big brother has gone out and made a lot of money recently, right?" Sister-in-law, take a look at the meat hanging under the eaves of your porch, compare the neighbors before and after, which one can have more than yours? Your family Shixun went to my house to play today, but he told me, saying that your family was eating pork dumplings tonight, and that his eldest brother came back from the county seat to buy snacks, and he still bluffed me sister-in-law? ”
Zhu Xiuzhi just gave out our Pan Shixun's radish head so effortlessly, Zhang Xuelan was so angry that her teeth hurt, and she was furious, secretly annoyed that Pan Shixun's dog cub came back to see her and beat him to death without taking shoes!
"It's not about the New Year, I want the children to have a good New Year, I don't want to buy so many things, waste more money, your eldest brother has to spend the money saved at home, say that eat well during the New Year, and only prosper in the coming year!" Zhang Xuelan decided to hold on to the end, and resolutely didn't say what her man did outside, anyway, she didn't say it, and others couldn't figure it out, so they let them guess blindly if there was no evidence.
Zhu Xiuzhi saw that her sister-in-law's mouth was tight, and it was impossible to know something from her mouth, so she gave up, but in her heart, she was planning to talk from the mouths of several children in his family in the future, how could she know what Pan Zhaoke had done outside, and if there were good things, he couldn't let him swallow the big house alone, right?
――
Pan Shixun is the child king of the village, in addition to Pan Shisong and Pan Shiyun following behind his buttocks, there are several children in the second and third rooms, N children are crazy in groups, 'robbing houses and houses' during the day, playing with torches at night, and not going crazy to eight every day. She won't come back at nine o'clock, Zhang Xuelan generally doesn't care about them, as long as she doesn't make a big mistake, let them go crazy, and when she comes back crazy, she will go to fetch water to wash her face and go to bed.
But when Pan Shixun led his younger brothers and sisters back today, Zhang Xuelan and Pan Yang were both sitting on Pan Shiyun's bed in the hall, and Pan Hengchun was half leaning on the bed and smoking a big cigarette pouch.
Pan Shixun keenly smelled that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and he didn't dare to enter the house.
Instead, Pan Shisong squeezed in front of Pan Yang and sat down, and stuffed his little hand into Pan Yang's big palm, "Ada, cover my hands for me, it's so ice." ”
Pan Yang held Pan Shisong's hand and stuffed it on his stomach, he had been crazy outside for so long, could his hands not be icy!
Pan Yang remembered that she used to go to junior high school in the township, and she rode a bicycle back and forth to school in the winter, and every day after school, she would stuff her hand with ice cubes into her father's hand, and her father would put her hand on her belly.
Pan Shiyun also rubbed over, and the two radish heads were one left and one right, all of which stuffed the ice cubes into Pan Yang's belly.
Only Pan Shixun stood at the door of the hall under Zhang Xuelan's angry glare, not daring to move, thinking quickly about what he had done wrong today.
It was still Pan Hengchun who said, "It's cold outside, come in quickly, and go to Grandpa's bed to cover you." ”
Pan Shixun ran to Pan Hengchun's place, threw off his shoes and pouted his ass and climbed between Pan Hengchun's feet, but before he could climb over, he was hit by the sole of his buttocks.
Looking back at Zhang Xuelan, the shoes were still in his hands and not put down, Pan Shixun shrank his head and didn't dare to say anything.
Thinking of what Zhu Xiuzhi told her at night, Zhang Xuelan was angry, and slapped the sole of Pan Shixun's shoe again, "What did I tell you in advance, let me not tell others what to eat and buy at home outside, I will let you control your mouth and go out and don't talk nonsense, I will let you say it and let you say it!" ”
As soon as the words fell, there were a few more snaps.
Pan Shixun couldn't hold back this time, and cried out.
Pan Shisong and Pan Shiyun's two radish heads were frightened, and they shrank into Pan Yang's arms, not daring to come out.
Pan Yangshen thought that Pan Shixun should be beaten up, so Zhang Xuelan beat him, she just watched and didn't stop him, and when Zhang Xuelan smoked a few soles of his shoes, Pan Yang stopped him and asked Pan Shixun, "Will you talk nonsense next time you go out?" ”
Pan Shixun pursed his mouth and sobbed, "Don't talk nonsense"
Zhang Xuelan pointed angrily at the other two children, "And the two of you, if I know that I go out and talk nonsense, I will beat you like when I come back!" ”
Zhang Xuelan's hair was very effective, and the three children immediately promised that they would not dare to talk nonsense next time.
Pan Yang rubbed Pan Shisong's head, "Do you know what it means to not expose wealth?" No matter now or in the future, don't show off what you have at home, be low-key, low-key understand? ”
Pan Shisong rubbed his head into Pan Yang's arms and said, "I understand what Adaa means, this is our family's little secret, and we can't share it with outsiders." ”
Pan Yang nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, this is our secret, outsiders will be jealous when they know it, and if they are jealous, they will turn around and pit Ada." ”
After educating the three radish heads, Pan Yang and Zhang Xuelan went back to the house to sleep.
Zhang Xuelan repeated what Zhu Xiuzhi said at night to Pan Yang, thinking of the chickens at home, Pan Yang said, "She didn't find the chickens raised at home. Right? ”
Zhang Xuelan shook her head and said, "I put the chicken coop in Shiyao's house, and Zhu Xiuzhi didn't come in." ”
Pan Yang was a little relieved.
Zhang Xuelan said again, "It seems that we can't hang the meat outside to dry in the future, alas! ”
Pan Yang also sighed, no way, no matter what era, people's jealousy is the most terrible, they can't change the jealousy of others, they can only try their best to hide themselves, after all, you can't stop making money because others are jealous.
――
After twenty-three, the village began to distribute grain and bills, and the grain was divided according to the family size, and the bills were calculated according to the work score. The captain first counted the sum of the work points of each household for the whole year, and then converted them into cloth stamps, grain and oil stamps, etc.
A few years ago, whether it was wheat, corn or dried sweet potatoes in the production team, they had already paid the public grain, and Pan Yang didn't know how the other production teams distributed the grain, and she also experienced the distribution of grain for the first time.
On the day of the grain distribution, Pan Yang and Pan Shiyao, the two main male laborers of the family, went to the commune to receive the grain together, and most of the people in the village gathered in the commune, noisy and shouting, and the captain of the production team shouted with a loudspeaker, shouting the name of the head of the household, and went into the granary with the deputy captain to receive the grain.
As for what kind of grain is used, the production team does not provide sacks or snakeskin bags, and they can bring whatever they can hold at home.
When shouting Pan Zhaoke's name, Pan Yang and Pan Shiyao entered the granary together, and the deputy captain first checked the population on the Pan family's household registration book, and then according to the distribution ratio of 200 catties of dried sweet potatoes, 100 catties of corn, 20 catties of wheat, and 5 catties of soybeans for each adult, and 100 catties of dried sweet potatoes, 50 catties of corn, 15 catties of wheat, and 3 catties of soybeans for each child, they were all distributed to Pan Yang with a total of 1,200 catties of dried sweet potatoes, 600 catties of corn, nearly 12 catties of wheat, and more than 30 catties of soybeans.
It is impossible to move back at one time, and the commune also takes into account that it is not easy to carry it, so on this day, a few old donkeys in the commune can be pulled out and lined up for use, Pan Yang and they are in the back, and it is almost dark when they are all pulled home.
Suddenly, there was so much more food, and the originally small place of the old Pan family was even more crowded, but fortunately they had a cellar, Zhang Xuelan cleaned up the cellar early, afraid of the resurgence of the cellar, Pan Yang Zhang Luo Pan Shiyao took a handle, spread a layer of broken rain cloth under the cellar, and then surrounded the granary with broken straw mats, and poured dried sweet potatoes and corn into them respectively.
As for the wheat, it was divided into more than 100 catties, and Pan Yang was directly packed in a snakeskin bag, not in the cellar, but in the west room.
