Just do it. Pan Yang told Pan Hengchun about what she wanted to do with the small vegetable garden, Pan Hengchun had no objections, as long as the younger generation was promising, it didn't matter where he lived.

That afternoon, Pan Hengchun started to pack up his things, he didn't have many things, just a few clothes, and then there was his bed.

Pan Hengchun's bedding was too buried, with a layer of wheat straw on the muddy floor, a worn-out quilt thrown on the straw, and there was not even a sheet to cover the straw.

Pan Yang said, "Ada, don't clean it up, the quilt can be brought in, let Xuelan reinstall a mattress for you." ”

The bed board will not be able to be made for a while, so I will have to go to the mountains tomorrow to cut down a tree and come back and use a chainsaw to cut it into a plank and lay it out.

The trees on Jingshan are collectively planted and belong to the public, and private individuals cannot cut them down indiscriminately, and if they are discovered by the militia, they will be demerited. However, there are policies and countermeasures, as long as it is dark or early in the morning when no one is around, it will be fine to sneak back from the mountain.

Zhang Xuelan was a little reluctant, and said, "There are only two snakeskin bags left at home, which can usually decorate things and make mattresses, and you can directly bring the straw in and spread it." ”

Pan Yang didn't want to quarrel with her because of this little thing, Zhang Xuelan didn't do it, Pan Yang simply did it himself, cut two snakeskin bags with scissors, and then used a large stitch to put the two snakeskin bags into a bigger pocket, don't ask her how she could do it, her father used to have two dogs, and Pan Yang saw that her mother was like this to lay the groundwork for the puppies.

Pan Shiyao was also at home, he dragged a stack of dry straw from the firewood pile at the door of the house, and helped Pan Yang stuff it into the big snakeskin bag.

Zhang Xuelan She was not idle, she gave Pan Hengchun a hand, the two of them dismantled the tent, the tarpaulin for the tent was still carried back by Pan Zhaoke from the team, it has been many years, although there are broken places, but it is still effective to keep it, after folding, Zhang Xuelan put it in the west room.

The next step is to plow the soil, loosen the soil, a small vegetable garden the size of a room is quickly put out, boxy, three ridges and six rows, soft soil is sharp, just waiting for watering rapeseed.

Zhang Xuelan is more active in planting vegetables, she has a way to get rapeseeds, and she doesn't need to go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to spend money to buy, her old lady is usually idle at home, the east family is in the west, there are always a few good women friends, Zhang Xuelan just went out for a turn, and soon got rapeseed from the neighbor's house.

Chinese cabbage, red carrots, potatoes, lettuce.

Vegetables grow fast, planted in November, more than a month later, almost long can be sold, and when this wave of vegetables is sold, you can continue to plant in December, if it is not too small, Pan Yang simply wants to plant all the places that can be planted!

Another wave of cold air hit, and after a few days of snowflakes, time flew by, and it was about to be the New Year.

Pan Yang was most afraid of the cold, and put on the new padded jacket made for her by Zhang Xuelan early, Pan Yang's move, in Zhang Xuelan's eyes, couldn't wait, and was muttered by her, "I have to wait for the New Year to wear it, good clothes will be dirty by you before the New Year." ”

Pan Yang was speechless for a while, the new clothes of the family have long been made, but no one wears them, in the concept of their generation, the delicious food should be kept until the New Year, and the new clothes should be kept until the New Year, I don't know what kind of mentality this is, anyway, Pan Yang can't manage so much, the previous broken jacket is not cold at all, and she is about to freeze to death!

The snow fell for three days in a row, and by the next day, the snow was already covered with snow outside, and the Jingshan Mountain was covered with a layer of silver. Pan Yang shouted to Pan Shiyao, and the two of them brought the clips prepared in advance, carried shovels, and went up the mountain against the heavy snow, digging pits and digging pits and clamping under the clips.

Speaking of which, Pan Shiyao is much more experienced than Pan Yang in this kind of work. After Pan Yang was born, the living conditions of the old Pan family became better and better year by year, she almost never suffered, went to school, and worked steadily after graduation, if she didn't become her grandfather, where would she have seen these means of making a living?

Pan Shiyao, a young man, has his circle of friends, and he has done a lot of things to steal chickens and dogs in the mountains and ditches, because when Pan Yang wielded a shovel to dig a pit, he was deeply despised by Pan Shiyao.

Pan Shiyao put a good clamp between the ground, took the shovel from Pan Yang's hand, and complained, "Ada, what can you catch in this digging pit?" You have to dig near the roots of the trees or between the ground, and the hares like to stay in both places. ”

Pan Yang sighed a few times in a row, humbly being taught, and then she followed her 'son', and Pan Shiyao asked her to dig the pit where she was.

It's also sad to say, since she became her grandfather, she has done all the dirty work, if she had left it before, she would have cried, but unfortunately the reality did not allow her to do this, because she had the responsibility of supporting the entire Lao Pan family on her shoulders.

After the snow stopped, the father and son went to the mountain early in the morning, found the place where the clamp was lowered and the pit was dug, and it was really the blind cat that ran into a dead mouse, and harvested two hares, whose legs were broken by the clamps, and the fur was covered with a layer of snow, and they lay on the ground and lay dying.

The father and son were very excited, put the hare in their pockets, put the clip, and walked briskly down the mountain.

As soon as he entered the village, he met Pan Shicong, the captain of their village west brigade, Pan Shicong held an enamel jar in his hand, smoked a big cigarette pouch, and said to his father and son, "What are you going to do in the morning?" ”

Pan Shiyao pointed to the branch on his back, opened his eyes and said nonsense, and said with a smile, "It's okay to be idle, pick up some branches with Ada, and go back to the stove." ”

Pan Shicong smiled at Pan Yangle and said, "Uncle Zhaoke, your son is good, very sensible, and he knows that helping you do his work is much easier than my family's Kefeng!" ”

Pan Yang smiled modestly, "Where, where." ”

Fortunately, Pan Yang had foresight, for fear of going back to the village to meet acquaintances, before going down the mountain, he picked up a stack of branches, and the cloth bag containing the hare was wrapped in the branches, and no one could see it if he didn't look carefully.

The two of them arrived home without danger, Zhang Xuelan burned the stove in the hall and closed the door of the hall, which was much warmer than outside.

At this time, the old coal farmers could not afford to use it, so they mostly used branches to burn the stove, Pan Shiyao unloaded the branches on his back, and handed the cloth pocket containing the hare to Zhang Xuelan.

Pan Yang said, "Peel the rabbit skin, dry it in the sun, we can make our own gloves or ear covers, and the skinned rabbit will be hung under the eaves, and I will go to the county seat tomorrow to sell it." ”

As soon as Pan Yang's voice fell, Pan Shiyao hurriedly said, "Ada, I'll go with you, and I can help you pick vegetables." ”

Every time Pan Yang comes back, he can make money, Pan Shiyao is ready to move, and he also wants to go out with Pan Yang to see and see, the cabbage, radish and lettuce in the vegetable garden can be eaten, Pan Shiyao can follow Pan Yang and help her pick the burden of vegetables.

Pan Yang said, "It's so cold, I'll just go by myself, I really want to go and take you there in the spring of next year." ”

Seeing that Pan Shiyao still wanted to speak, Pan Yang said, "It costs five cents to go to the county seat and take a car, and it's not cost-effective to go to two people." ”

Zhang Xuelan said, "What you said is that if you want to go, when the spring is warm, you and your Ada, walk to the county seat." ”

Can't go to the county seat, Pan Shiyao is a little depressed, he hasn't been to the city to see it when he's so old.

In fact, Pan Yang wants to take Pan Shiyao out to see the world, after all, he is a big boy, the children of the Pan family are precocious, and they are early in society, Pan Yang and her grandfather will educate their children, although the Pan Shiyao brothers do not read much, they are not knowledgeable people, but each of them is a good hand in business, when Pan Yang went to college, her father and uncle had their own businesses, and they were not bad. Pan Yang didn't want the Pan Shiyao brothers to be destroyed in her hands.

It's just that Pan Yang also has her own concerns, now it's cold, if she goes to the county seat alone, she can use her own space to easily bring a lot of things to the county seat, but if Pan Shiyao follows her, she doesn't dare to use her own space, the two of them pick up vegetables and burdens, and they have to suffer from the cold.

The next day, Pan Yang rushed to the county seat alone, she went to the morning market to sell some things as usual, and then went straight to Uncle Cheng's house.

Now there are three hens at home, and they can lay three eggs every day, among which the hen that is raised at home can sometimes even lay two a day, and the family eats from time to time, and there are many left, this time to the county, Pan Yang brought thirty eggs from home and sent them to Uncle Cheng.

Uncle Cheng was so happy that all thirty eggs were left. Pan Yang took out the cabbage, radish and lettuce grown at home and asked Uncle Cheng if he wanted it.

Uncle Cheng said, "Yes, why not, it's the New Year soon, the price of vegetables in the supply and marketing cooperatives has risen sharply, not only do I want to buy it, but I also have to buy some for my son and daughter-in-law." ”

In this regard, Pan Yang couldn't ask for it, in the morning Pan Yang sold a hare in the morning market, and there was still one left in his pocket, Pan Yang asked Uncle Cheng, "Uncle, I still have a hare, do you want to keep it for the New Year?" ”

Uncle Cheng said, "Is it fat?" ”

Pan Yang took out the hare that Zhang Xuelan had peeled from his pocket, "Uncle, you check, this rabbit is big, at least three catties in weight, you just don't eat it at home, the New Year is approaching, and it is decent to carry it to visit relatives and friends." ”

Uncle Cheng thought of his son, every year during the Chinese New Year, he had to give something to their leaders, hares are not common in their city, and it is rare to buy them and marinate them and dry them for his son to give gifts.

Uncle Cheng said, "How much is one?" ”

Pan Yang smiled, "Uncle, you are all my old customers, and I don't ask you more, what do you think of a dollar?" ”

When Uncle Cheng heard this, the price was within his acceptable range, and he immediately smiled, "Okay, Xiao Pan, you put it down, I'll keep this one." ”

Pan Yang sighed happily, and put down all the eggs, hares and vegetables to Uncle Cheng, the eggs are a total of eight dollars a dime, and the hare is a dollar, as for the cabbage and radish, Pan Yang sells it for a dime a pound in the morning market, and he charges him nine cents for selling it to the uncle, and lettuce is slightly more expensive, a dime a pound.

Pan Yang used the spare hanging scales in her space, five catties of Chinese cabbage, eight catties of radish, and six catties of lettuce, adding up to a total of four yuan, five cents and seven cents.

Pan Yang erased the odds and accepted Uncle Cheng's four yuan and five.

Coupled with the money sold in the morning market, Pan Yang earned nearly fifteen yuan from this transaction. After coming out of Uncle Cheng's house, Pan Yang went to the supply and marketing cooperative, ready to buy some snacks for the children to take home.

After entering the supply and marketing cooperative, Pan Yang suddenly remembered Pan Guangchen, no matter how Pan Guangchen and his lover Wu Xiujuan were different, Pan Guangchen was quite honest and honest and treated her sincerely, and he had a meal at his house at the beginning, which could be regarded as inheriting Pan Guangchen's kindness, and now that the New Year is approaching, she should also bring something to Pan Guangchen's house to visit.

Thinking so, Pan Yang asked the salesman to wrap a two-pound gift bag and carried it to Pan Guangchen's house.
