Pan Shisong is eighteen years old this year, a young man with strong blood, do you want to say that you don't want to do that, then you must think, the front has not been settled, the two young people are affectionate and polite, and they almost did not cross the rules, and now the family affairs have been decided, plus the relationship between the Pan family and the Yao family, marriage is a sure thing, it's all like this, Pan Shisong must still be thinking about it.

In this regard, Yao Qimei obviously doesn't have as much thought as Pan Shisong, mainly because she is embarrassed.

On the contrary, it was Han Naiyun who said directly to her daughter, "Shi Song has come to pick you up a few times, just go, it's not a shame, you see brother, your sister-in-law settled at that time, and your sister-in-law didn't often come to live." ”

This phenomenon is relatively common in rural areas, at most women with long tongues will make two jokes, everyone doesn't take it seriously in their hearts, Han Naiyun said so, Yao Qimei is not so awkward, and when Pan Shisong came again, Yao Qimei packed up two changes of clothes, passed by the township bathhouse, and took a bath by the way, and then went to Lao Pan's house with Pan Shisong.

Now that the twenty-third sacrificial stove has been turned, if there is no change, Yao Qimei will spend this year at Lao Pan's house.

From childhood to now, Yao Qimei doesn't know how many times she has come to Lao Pan's house, she is familiar with the four generations of the old Pan family, after changing her identity, Yao Qimei was still a little uncomfortable at the beginning, mainly because there were too many people who joked about her, but fortunately, she is usually a cheerful person, and after that period of unhappiness, she will soon be able to mingle with the Lao Pan family and the surrounding neighbors, especially when watching TV, that scene, don't be too lively, there is nothing to do with Pan Shisong at all.

When I went to the township to watch TV before, it was good that Pan Shisong could still sit with Yao Qimei, but now it's good, the neighbors are so familiar, and there are not a few women with long tongues.

Pan Yang looked at her father and looked at her mother's unpromising appearance, and couldn't help but want to go up and kick her feet, in fact, she did.

There were too many people crowded in the old Pan family's house, Yao Qimei sat in it with Pan Ying in her arms, Pan Shisong was squeezed out and stood, Leng Buding was kicked on the buttocks, Pan Shisong touched the kicked buttocks, and when he turned his head, he was standing behind him, Pan Shisong was dissatisfied, "How old am I, and I still kick." ”

Pan Yang stood in front of Pan Shisong, stretched out his head to look inside, and said, "I see that you are quite idle, go, go and give me a hand and kill the pig." ”

There are a lot of people this year, and I caught up with Yao Qimei to come over for the New Year, Zhang Xuelan was going to go to the market to cut meat, but was stopped by Pan Yang, the two discussed it, fortunately killed a pig, more than 100 catties of adult pigs, slaughtered and sent half to Liu Tiezhu and Cheng Jiujie, and the remaining half was kept at home to eat.

Pan Shisong heard that he was going to kill the pig, and he didn't crowd in the hall to watch, and went to shout the pig in the village, which house in the village to kill the pig is also a lively thing, the idle man in the village heard the sound and came to see the excitement, and those who could take the handle took the handle by the way, and slaughtered the pig together, and the pig's blood was also received, and the internal organs were disemboweled

Zhang Xuelan is usually willing to feed pigweed, and the fat raised by the pigs is extremely thick, and the big fat meat is beautiful to look at.

Er Mazi smiled, "Zhaoke, is this meat not sold?" Sell me a few catties, so that I don't have to go to the market to chop meat, I want to buy some fatty meat, and take it back to refine oil. ”

Removing the half that was ready to be given to Liu Tiezhu and Cheng Jiujie, Pan Yang thought that he couldn't finish eating dozens of catties of meat, and wanted to send some to Er Mazi, but there were too many onlookers, Pan Yang was not good at sending it, Er Mazi was a neighbor, and others were also neighbors.

Er Mazi helped them slaughter the pig, Pan Yang symbolically accepted a few yuan, cut it as much as he could pick the fat place, and gave him a pair of pig intestines at the end.

Er Mazi was still reluctant to ask for it, and said disgustedly, "A smell of pig, I would rather have that pair of heart and lungs." ”

In this era, the large intestine of pigs is still not popular, Er Mazi is unwilling to be better, Pan Yang still loves to eat large intestines, and immediately said cheerfully, "Nacheng, you can take all your heart and lungs away." ”

Just as Pan Yang thought, dozens of catties of pork can't be eaten outside the year, so Zhang Xuelan said to Pan Yang, "Zhaoke, since the pigs have been slaughtered, let Shixun carry some back, marinate them and dry them and keep them to eat slowly." ”

Pan Yang glanced at Zhang Xuelan's cautious expression, and said without taking a nap, "You can do this by looking at it, don't squeak me." ”

Pan Yang is not a person who picks the door, he can carry some meat with Ermazi, let alone Pan Shixun? For this little thing, it is not enough to make Pan Yang worry about it.

Hearing Pan Yang say this, Zhang Xuelan was immediately happy, and hurriedly asked Pan Shixuan to go to the back post to call Pan Shixun, and after a while, Pan Shixun came over, Zhang Xuelan picked a good piece, and cut ten catties of belt meat, let Pan Shixun take it back, and advised, "This piece of oil is a lot, go back and let Jiamei cut off the oil, put it in the pot to refine some lard, and pickle the rest." ”

Pan Shixun didn't expect Zhang Xuelan to cut him so much, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty, the year was over, he didn't give Zhang Xuelan money to spend, but Zhang Xuelan wanted to stick him upside down.

Thinking of this, Pan Shixun took out twenty yuan from his trouser pocket and handed it to Zhang Xuelan, "Mother, Jiamei and I won't buy anything for you and Ada, you can buy these yourself." ”

Pan Shixun just took that dead salary, how is he doing, Zhang Xuelan still doesn't know in her heart, where can she ask for it, suppressed the excitement in her heart, and said, "I'm not short of money, you keep this money, the Chinese New Year is the time to spend money, and it's not easy for you to earn some money." ”

Pan Shixun didn't take it, but said, "Mother, you take it, the eldest brother and Shisong give it every year, my Shixun is just bad, I don't have their ability, and I don't waste the money I spent on you." ”

Pan Shixun almost didn't say that if you don't take the money, you look down on me, in fact, there are many brothers, and there are also zài comparisons between them, and it's usually just that, during the New Year's holidays, whoever has money in his hand will naturally give Lao Tzu Niang more money, and the one who gives less will definitely not be happy in his heart, if Zhang Xuelan insists on not accepting it at this time, it is not pity Pan Shixun, but look down on him.

When it comes to this, Zhang Xuelan has to take it if she doesn't take it, Zhang Xuelan took the money on the front foot, and immediately showed off to Pan Yang on the back foot, saying that her second child gave her money for the New Year.

Pan Yang asked, "How much?" ”

Zhang Xuelan took out two ten-yuan ones and said happily, "Give twenty." ”

Pan Yang couldn't help but smile and nodded, "Not bad." ”

Look, being a mother is sometimes easy to be satisfied, Zhang Xuelan actually doesn't care which child gives her more money, as long as her mind arrives, she is satisfied. In addition, it is precisely because Pan Shixun has never given Zhang Xuelan a penny that Zhang Xuelan unconsciously lowered her expectations for the second child, so even if Pan Shiyao and Pan Shisong both gave Zhang Xuelan fifty yuan, there was no Pan Shixun's twenty yuan to make Zhang Xuelan happy.

Just because Pan Shiyao and Pan Shisong are too worry-free for Zhang Xuelan, and they are both filial children, Zhang Xuelan naturally has higher expectations for them.

Regarding Zhang Xuelan's knee-jerk reaction, Pan Yang didn't break it, but said, "Since the pigs have been killed, let's boil the pork bones in soup today, and cut off a piece of meat to eat, and then marinate the rest." ”

At noon, Zhang Xuelan boiled a big pot of soup, in addition to the bone broth, fried pork liver, the pig's large intestine was repeatedly washed with flour, and the chili peppers were stir-fried, but the four generations of the old Pan family were full of oil.

After the gang, Pan Shixun and his wife also had a big meal at noon, Wang Jiamei burned a bowl of braised pork, and cut the meat and stuffed potatoes, the husband and wife ate more than half a catty, and the rest was still on the board.

Wang Jiamei glanced at the large piece of meat on the board, and said to Pan Shixun, "Give the rest of the meat to my mother's house, I haven't gone to give a gift yet." ”

Hearing this, Pan Shixun raised his eyelids and said, "All this meat is given to your mother's house?" So what do we eat? ”

Wang Jiamei said, "We still have to spend this year with your Ada-Niang?" Won't it be enough to eat them? ”

Pan Shixun sneered twice, and stopped talking nonsense with Wang Jiamei, and said directly, "You dare to send it all to try, I will let you roll up and leave immediately, and you will keep your mother's house and don't come back." ”

Wang Jiamei saw that Pan Shixun didn't look like a joke at all, and muttered in a low voice, "Then I can't give half of it, for the New Year, I can't give no gifts at all!" ”

Pan Shixun said, "I don't object to giving gifts, don't send all your home." ”

Wang Jiamei just wants her to send more meat, so that she can look better on her mother's face, and for the New Year, which girl who marries out will not go back to her parents' house to give gifts. Even Yao Qimei, who has not yet married, but has already decided on a family matter, has to be sent.

However, this is not sent by Yao Qimei, but by Pan Shisong, and the first gift can not be stumbled, especially in the current situation of the old Pan family, especially not stingy.

Pan Yang took a knife and cut ten catties of pigs, and caught a rooster and an old hen from home, as well as tobacco, alcohol and candy, and Pan Shisong sent it in the afternoon of killing the pig, of course, he was unwilling to do this job alone, so he called Yao Qimei out of the TV and went to Yaojia Village with him.

The two young people couldn't stay long in Yaojia Village, because Zhang Xuelan also asked them to come back early, go to Zhang Xuelan's maiden home Zhangwan Village, give them some gifts, and then let them know Yao Qimei by the way.

The first time I went to Pan Shisong's grandfather's house, Yao Qimei was still quite nervous, on a cold day, there was a thin layer of sweat in the palms of her hands, Pan Shisong noticed her nervousness, and before entering the door, comforted, "Peace of mind, my grandfather is a friendly person, as for my aunt, you don't have to take anything she says seriously, you just remember that as long as I take a fancy to you!" ”

When she said this, Yao Qimei snorted and was happy, and couldn't help laughing, "What do you mean by falling in love with me, do I have to throw myself on the ground and kowtow a few times, thank you for taking a fancy to me, otherwise I will beat a single." ”

Laughing, Yao Qimei was not so nervous, and followed Pan Shisong in, Zhang Xuelan has two sons and a daughter, and now lives with the eldest son and daughter-in-law, and the younger sons are almost in their thirties, and there is no woman, no woman is not because the Zhang family is too poor, but because the youngest son suffered from polio when he was young, and the young girls in the household, no matter how ugly they are, no matter how bad the conditions are, none of them want to marry a disabled person.

Zhang Xuelan's sister-in-law is a person who has a fight with Zhu Xiuzhi, and the relationship with Zhang Xuelan's sister-in-law has not been very good, if she hadn't seen Pan Shisong send such gifts today, she wouldn't have a good face.

She is not close to anyone, but closest to things.

Zhang Xuelan and her sister-in-law smiled and brought all the meat and fish into their own hall, and beckoned Pan Shisong and Yao Qimei to come in and sit, Pan Shisong never waited to see this aunt, did not go in, but pointed to the broken grass house facing the door of the hall, and said, "I'll take my little sister to my grandfather to see." ”

Zhang Xuelan and her sister-in-law said politely, "Stay for dinner that night?" The new niece and daughter-in-law are here, why do my aunts have to say it? ”

Pan Shisong knew the different virtues of his aunt, and he definitely wouldn't take this seriously, and said, "Don't bother, I'll sit down with my little sister and leave." ”

Giving gifts and not staying for dinner is in line with Zhang Xuelan's sister-in-law's heart, and she said a few more polite words to Yao Qimei, and then went back to the house to check what Pan Shisong had sent.

Pan Shisong his grandfather is in his seventies, his legs and feet are not good, his brain is not very good, he often forgets things, the old man is okay and basically sits in the house and does not go out, the old he raised has passed a litter of small milk dogs, the old's nest is under his bed, when Pan Shisong and Yao Qimei went in, the old man was lying on the ground and fiddling with his little milk dog one by one.

On a cold day, the old man wore a torn jacket, and the cotton inside was exposed, and he pulled a slipper, revealing half of his feet outside, and Pan Shisong was still lying on the ground, so he pulled the old man up when he went in, and blamed, "Your legs and feet are not good, and you are still lying on the ground!" ”

The old man saw that it was his grandson who came, and smiled happily, "It's okay, I'm frost-resistant." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to another torn cotton jacket on the bench and said to Yao Qimei, "Come, the little girl will help me cover the jacket in the kennel, it's cold, don't freeze them." ”

Pan Shisong said in a bad voice, "You take care of yourself first." ”

Pan Shisong took a look around the house, and then reached out to touch the quilt on the bed, it was as thin as eyelids, and the grass was laid underneath, not even a sheet, Pan Shisong immediately became angry, "It's such a cold day, why doesn't my uncle make a quilt for you!" ”

The old man also looked at Yao Qimei happily and asked if Yao Qimei was his new niece and daughter-in-law.

Yao Qimei had a good impression of the optimistic old man in front of her, sat on the edge of the bed and talked to him, touched the old man's hand, it was cold and cold, and swept around the house, except for the torn cotton jacket that was covered in the kennel, there was no thick clothes to wear, Yao Qimei turned her head and whispered to Pan Shisong, "Sending fish and meat is not worth buying a piece of clothing for grandpa, you touch his hand, like an ice cube." ”

Sending fish and meat can't get into the old man's mouth, and at least he can keep out the cold when he sends a piece of clothing.

The more Pan Shisong looked at it, the tighter his brows wrinkled, he was an outsider in the end, this had to be left at his house, his mother dared to treat his grandfather like this, he had already quarreled with his mother.

Coming out of the old man, Pan Shisong finally said, "No, I think I'd better go back and push a rack car and take my grandfather to my house for the New Year." ”

Yao Qimei wanted to say this a long time ago, but she was just a daughter-in-law who had not passed through the door, how could she be the master, now hearing Pan Shisong say this, Yao Qimei nodded without hesitation, but still said, "Go back and discuss it with your aunt first, after all, it is not your master's job to take your grandfather over, how can I also learn that Uncle Zhaoke and Aunt Zhaoke are the masters." ”

After the two young people planned to do so, they immediately rode their bicycles back, Pan Shisong didn't take a nap, and when he got home, he told Zhang Xuelan about it, and said, "Mother, otherwise we will take my grandfather to our family, more pairs of chopsticks and multiple bowls, and my grandfather is doing too badly."

After Zhang Xuelan heard this, she said, "There are so many people in the house, and you still bring him here?" Where do you think you can arrange to stay? ”
