In order to rush home before dark, Pan Yang didn't stay in Pan Shiyao's dormitory for a long time, drank a cup of tea and rested for a while before coming out, and had lunch in the canteen of the county revolutionary committee.

After lunch, Pan Yang rode a bicycle directly to the agricultural machinery market, and before coming, Pan Hengchun calculated with her how many catties of seeds were needed for the family's eight acres of land. In the past, in order to save grain, the production brigade would sprinkle about five catties of wheat seeds on one acre of land, and the wheat seedlings that grew were sparse, how could there be a good harvest. Now that they are on their own, they can no longer withhold seeds in order to save that little food.

Pan Hengchun is ready to sprinkle ten catties of wheat seeds on one acre of land, and the family is ready to use seven acres of land to plant wheat and one acre of rapeseed, plus the seeds of Pan Laowu's family, Pan Yangtong asked for a total of 80 catties of wheat seeds, and two catties of rapeseed.

Wheat seeds cost a dime and two cents a pound, and rapeseed costs two cents a pound, which adds up to just ten yuan.

Pan Yang bought ammonium sulfate and urea by the way, and weighed them together and brought them back.

The salesman in the agricultural machinery market saw that Pan Yang was pushing a bicycle, and couldn't help but say, "Comrade, you must have a lot of strength, otherwise these things will be tied to the back seat of the bicycle and brought back, which will make you tired enough." ”

Pan Yang smiled and said to the salesman, "It's okay, comrade, just tie it up!" ”

Seeds and fertilizer can be about 200 catties, Pan Yang riding is really difficult, when you go to the Huai River Dam, you can't ride it at all, you can only go down and hum and push away, after the dam, Pan Yang looked left and right, and saw that no one on the dam paid attention to her, so she concentrated on storing all the seeds and fertilizers tied to the back seat of the car in the space, and rode home easily.

Ride all the way, and when you are almost home, you will take out the seeds and fertilizers, and tie them up again, and she will not ride when she arrives at the entrance of the village, but will push and walk, so that after arriving home, she is also tired and sweaty, Zhang Xuelan and Pan Hengchun helped to take the handle and quickly unload it and put it under the eaves of the porch.

Knowing that her man was tired today, Zhang Xuelan cooked a good meal in the evening, stewed eggplant with bacon, steamed egg custard, and fried a plate of old beans, after the whole family was full of old snacks, Pan Hengchun said to Pan Shisong, "Shisong, go to your second and third uncle's house, call them, I have something to say to them." ”

Pan Yang saw that Pan Hengchun's face was not very good, so he turned his head and asked Zhang Xuelan, "What's wrong with Ada?" Calling Zhaofang and Zhaofeng to come over to discuss things? ”

Pan Yang wasn't at home all day today, so she didn't know yet.

Early this morning, Zhu Xiuzhi and Meng Guangmei made trouble in front of Pan Hengchun, because they were separated and worked alone, Pan Hengchun was also allocated one acre and three points of land, since Pan Hengchun was assigned to the land, why should he give the big house? They don't get anything in the second or third rooms, and they have to hand over the food to Pan Hengchun, which is just a coincidence that the big house is all occupied!

After suffering such a big loss, can Zhu Xiuzhi be willing?

Zhu Xiuzhi also learned to be smart this time, she didn't make trouble by herself, but first analyzed the whole thing with Meng Guangmei. Meng Guangmei is a person, she doesn't like to take advantage of others, but she must not suffer, as soon as she heard Zhu Xiuzhi say this, she also felt that the big house took advantage, she was immediately unwilling, and the two of them found Pan Hengchun together and wanted to quarrel with him.

In all fairness, this time it was indeed a big house, Zhu Xiuzhi and Meng Guangmei came over to fight, Zhang Xuelan was not good at talking about cool things, so she could only make trouble with the old man by the two concubines, Pan Hengchun was so troubled that he couldn't help it, so he said, "After the boss comes back in the evening, you come over again, don't worry, I don't favor anyone, when the boss comes back, I will call you all to discuss together." ”

Pan Shisong ran out in a gust of wind, and after a while, he ran back like a gust of wind, shouting, "Grandpa, I called them over, and they are all walking behind." ”

Taking advantage of this time, Zhang Xuelan received all the leftover dishes on the table of the Eight Immortals into the vegetable cupboard, and asked Pan Shiyun to put away all the snacks at home, no matter whether the children in the second and third rooms followed or not, Zhang Xuelan didn't want to put the snacks outside to cheapen them.

After all the things that should be hidden were hidden, the second and third rooms came in one after another, and the already small hall was instantly filled with people.

It was cold at night, Zhang Xuelan first went to boil the washing water, and after letting a few children wash their faces and go to bed, she closed the door of the hall, and the four big men in the hall, except for Pan Yang, the other three were old smokers, and they were all smoking at this time, Pan Yang fanned his nose in disgust, and said to Pan Hengchun, "Ada, don't beat around the bush if you want to say anything, let them go back to rest quickly." ”

Pan Yang didn't mean anything else when she said this, she just didn't want to smell the smell of smoke, but when she heard what she said, it changed in Zhu Xiuzhi's ears, thinking that Pan Yang was driving her in disguise, Zhu Xiuzhi immediately couldn't help but choke and said, "Big brother, don't worry, we will leave immediately when Ada's finish speaking, and we won't leave your house with a dead face." ”

Pan Yang raised his eyelids to look at Zhu Xiuzhi and ignored her. Zhu Xiuzhi is right, she can't wait for them to leave quickly, but don't bother here.

Seeing that Pan Yang was unwilling to deal with her, Zhu Xiuzhi had no face on her face, and the fire in her heart was directed at Pan Hengchun, and she said angrily, "Ada, did you call us all here to see you smoking, if you have something to say, hurry up, we will be busy farming tomorrow, we don't have this time to spend with you." ”

Pan Hengchun has been thinking about what he said, frowned and said, "There are two ways for you to choose from at the moment, one is that I will have with the boss in the future, and the field assigned to me by the brigade will naturally belong to the boss, and I will also help him work, as for the rations or something, you don't have to worry about the second and third children, you can take care of yourself, and there is another one, if Xiuzhi you want my land, then it will also be, my one acre and three points of land will be divided equally among your three brothers, but in addition to giving me rations in the future, you will also give me some money every year, as for where I live, The three of you brothers discussed where to get me a place to build a thatched house, and I immediately moved in and lived by myself. ”

For Pan Yang, she actually wants to live with Pan Hengchun, because Pan Hengchun is not only Pan Zhaoke's aunt, but also her wife, she has a good relationship with Pan Hengchun when she was a child, Zhang Xuelan dislikes her as a girl, she has always been brought by Pan Hengchun when she was a child, and she naturally has special feelings for this old man.

Now that she has the opportunity to support her old wife, she naturally wants to try her best to give him a good life.

As soon as she wanted to express her opinion, she was grabbed by Zhang Xuelan's arm, Zhang Xuelan glanced at her, and motioned for her to let the second and third rooms speak first.

Pan Yang thought about it for a while, so he chose the second and third rooms first, lest after she said it first, the second and third rooms said that she had the heart to take advantage.

Sure enough, Zhu Xiuzhi rushed to say, "We don't want that land, let's leave it to the eldest brother to plant, the eldest brother's family has a big place, it's good for you to live here." ”

Zhu Xiuzhi is such a shrewd person, although she wants Pan Hengchun very much, but she doesn't want to pay money and food every year, and pay for the old man to build a thatched house? What are you kidding, her family is almost out of food, how can she have the spare money to build a thatched house!

Zhu Xiuzhi is unwilling to spend money, Meng Guangmei is also powerless, the conditions of their three-room room are not better than those of the two-room, listening to Pan Hengchun say this, it is not worth the cost-effective one-third of an acre.

Pan Hengchun saw that his second and third sons let their women speak, and none of them said that they would take him with him, the old man's heart sank, and he asked a little weakly, "Second and third, you also mean this?" ”

Pan Zhaofang looked at Pan Hengchun, and said around the bush, "Ada, the eldest brother's family has a large population, so your land should be left for him to plant, it doesn't matter if we want it or not." ”

Hearing this, Pan Zhaofeng also echoed, "What the second brother said is that I don't want this land anymore." ”

Do you want land, or don't you want to feed the old?

Pan Hengchun sighed, his heart sank to the bottom of the water, he took a puff of dry tobacco, looked at his eldest son, and said, "Boss, what do you mean?" ”

Pan Yang wished that they would choose like this, she said without hesitation, "I will plant the land, Ada, you will follow me in the future, I have a bowl of rice to eat, I will not give you half a bowl, you can live here with peace of mind!" ”

Pan Yang's words undoubtedly made Pan Hengchun feel heartwarming, he almost burst into tears, tried his best to hold back, and couldn't help nodding and saying, "Okay, okay, that's good." ”

Such a scene of 'father and son' deep love is very dazzling in the eyes of the second and third rooms, and the feelings of their second and third rooms are not things, so he is filial to the big room? Is the boss so conspicuous in front of them?

The three rooms and the two of them hid their minds deeply, even if they were uncomfortable at this time, they would not say it in front of Pan Hengchun, but Zhu Xiuzhi, who had long hair and short knowledge, couldn't help but say sourly, "Big brother is really filial, we have to be like you." ”

Zhang Xuelan replied angrily, "Then you should be on par." ”

One sentence choked Zhu Xiuzhi half to death, Zhang Xuelan expected that she would not dare to talk again, and said fiercely, seeing that Zhu Xiuzhi had no face, she felt a lot more comfortable, thinking of Zhu Xiuzhi's speech and doing things, Zhang Xuelan said with a straight face, "Since you have all made up your mind, I am my sister-in-law, and I don't speak very well, I am ugly in front of me, today you chose not to give Ada's field, if you make trouble with Adada again in the future, give me and your eldest brother a horse, don't blame me for not giving you a good face at that time!" ”

At the moment, Zhang Xuelan put the words away and said, give them a warning in advance, save Zhu Xiuzhi and the like, and it will be more appropriate to look at Pan Hengchun's one-acre and three-point land when the time comes, and ask for a replacement.

After sending away the second and third rooms, Pan Yang saw that the time was not early, so he didn't talk to Pan Hengchun anymore, and everyone washed their faces and rested.

The next day, Pan Yang brought the seeds he brought back from the county seat to Pan Lao Wu, and found the rest of the money to him. Pan Lao Wu felt that Pan Yang was troubled, and he didn't want to ask for the rest of the money, Pan Yang said that he had to give him everything, and he was anxious to earn it, Pan Yang said, "Fifth uncle, my own family also has to settle accounts, I don't dare to partner with you to farm the land if you do this again." ”

After all the words were said and done, Pan Lao Wu stopped pushing and took the money that Pan Yang found for him.

Because the two families shared an old donkey and an iron plough from the brigade, the two families could only plough the field in one piece. There are also pigs divided by the production team, which is also half a head per family, Pan Yang and Pan Lao Wu two families share one pig, Pan Lao Wu is a big place, and the piglets are temporarily placed in the yard of Pan Lao Wu's house.

Zhang Xuelan was embarrassed to let Aunt Pan Wu be busy raising pigs alone, so she asked Pan Shiyun to go to collect pigweed after school every day, and sent it back directly to Pan Lao Wu's house to be chopped up and fed to the pigs.

Since the two families have a heart to work together, these little things don't pay attention to each other, and it doesn't hurt to suffer a loss.

In the past, when he was in the production team, Pan Lao Wu was specialized in raising donkeys, and the old donkey also recognized people, and Pan Lao Wu raised it for a long time, so it was very docile to Pan Lao Wu, so the work of plowing and driving the old donkey was done by Pan Lao Wu.

Pan Hengchun and Pan Yangye each hung a basket on their chests, which contained wheat seeds.

In order to hurry up with the planting, they set out in the morning and worked until the sun went down, and then ate in the fields at noon.

Zhang Xuelan and Aunt Pan were busy cooking at home, and they would take the food to the field when it was almost noon.

She can't ride a bicycle either, the distance between the mountain and the bottom bay is good, just walk directly, the dam is a little far, and the ground is too tiring to walk.

Fortunately, when the few acres of land under the plough dam were under the dam, it happened to catch up with the three radishes at home who did not go to school on the weekend. Pan Shixun and Pan Shisong brothers have learned to ride bicycles, it doesn't matter if they are too short to cross the big bar, they can ride across the small bar!

Usually when they take food and go down to the field, they don't come back, but stay in the field until dark and then go home with the adults. When the adults were busy farming, they were not idle, Pan Shixun and Pan Shisong brothers deliberately brought the washbasin at home, and there were ditches everywhere under the dam, the ditches were shallow, and there would be small fish in them.

The two brothers chose a ditch, pasted a mud dam with mud before and after, and then scooped up all the water in the ditch with a washbasin and splashed it out.

Small fish and shrimp can be caught back to dry salted shrimp and dried salted fish.

In fact, there are loaches and yellow eels in the ditch, especially loaches, everywhere, and it is easy to catch a full washbasin, but the loach is not very attractive to the two brothers, and they can only feed the ducks when they are caught.

The sun was about to set in front of him, Pan Yang and a few of them were about to call it a day and go home, seeing that the two radish heads were still catching small fish and shrimp in the ditch, Pan Yang was also interested, rolled up his trousers and wanted to follow them into the ditch.

Pan Yang saw that all the loaches were thrown on the ditch dam, so he said, "Why don't you put it up, what a good thing, pick it up and let your mother burn a bowl of braised loaches." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Pan Shisong said, "Ada, your brain is broken, my mother said that loaches are capital. How can we eat the dams that this country has put into our country to destroy our dams? Feeding the ducks is pretty much the same. ”

What bullshit rumors!

In fact, Pan Yang once heard her mother talk about what happened when they were young, saying that loaches and yellow eels are everywhere, that is, no one wants to eat them, and the reason why they don't want to eat them is that one is that they think it is dirty, and the other is what Pan Shisong said. The cancer of the ontology faction.

Pan Yang bent down and picked up all the loaches on the ditch dam, put them in the washbasin with the small fish and shrimp, and said to the two radish heads, "Go back, I'll cook the braised loach for you to eat, make sure you want to eat it again after you eat it, don't throw away the hemp shrimp and crabs, these are good things, and they are all delicious when they are cooked." ”

After going back, Pan Yang took matters into his own hands and killed the loaches one by one with scissors, Pan Shixun and Pan Shisong had never eaten loaches, and they rushed around Pan Yang. In fact, Pan Yang is not very good at cooking, but she just watched her mother make braised loaches, and groped for them according to her memory, not to mention, she really let her make them decent, not to mention anything else, loaches are also meat dishes, and eating meat is much more delicious than eating dried pickles!

Not only a few radish heads ate happily, but Pan Hengchun and Zhang Xuelan also ate a lot, in this era, loaches are a rare thing for them, Pan Yang burned two large sea bowls, enough for them to let go of their bellies and eat.

After the meal, Zhang Xuelan broke the broom branch as a toothpick, sat on the second-story stone steps to pick her teeth, she couldn't help but smash her mouth, reminisced about the braised loach just now, and told Pan Shiyun, "Shiyun, don't pour the remaining loaches and feed them to the ducks, keep the rest, we will continue to burn them tomorrow." ”

Pan Shiyun sighed, and was about to pour the hemp shrimp and crab to feed the ducks.

Pan Yang hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't throw this away, keep my steamed crab for you to eat." ”

Zhang Xuelan couldn't help but wonder as she picked her teeth, "Pan Zhaoke, why do you know so many things now?" ”

Pan Yang laughed, nonsense, "I have been to more places than you, and I have heard others say that these are all good things, and it is a pity to lose them." ”

After speaking, she didn't want to go too deep into this topic, so she hurriedly changed the topic and asked Pan Hengchun, "Ada, wait for the planting, we should also start building a house for Shiyao, can the stones on the mountain be mined casually?" Do you want to go to the squeaky meeting Wang Youtian first? ”

Pan Hengchun said, "That's not necessary, now that the land is separated, how can you use anything to squeak Wang Youtian, not to mention that the mountain is originally shared by us, and whoever mines it is whoever, but you have to go to Guan Ermazi to borrow some gunpowder, otherwise you can't blow up the stone." ”
