Speaking of being a secretary, the first candidate that popped into Wang Youtian's mind was Pan Zhaoke, but he was immediately denied, not that he thought Pan Zhaoke was not suitable, but that Pan Zhaoke was on the ground because of his ancestors. Because the principal component is not good, it has not been able to join the total. The production party, at the moment, he is in a hurry to let him in, and there is no time, Wang Youtian can't help but feel a little sorry If Pan Zhaoke can be it, that kid has an idea, he will definitely be a good national cadre!

Wang Youtian sat cross-legged on his cool bed, with a cigarette in his hand, and kept smoking, after thinking for a long time, he slapped his thigh, extinguished the cigarette butt, got out of bed, put on his slippers, and went directly to the grocery store of Lao Pan's house.

Pan Yang is busy putting price tags on the items on the shelves, and now there are more types of things sold, not to mention that Pan Hengchun can't remember, even she, sometimes she can't remember how much to sell.

The first few times Pan Yang couldn't remember the price, he could still estimate the approximate price, but the same thing was sold to different people, and the price was always a little different.

They are all villagers, and everyone is familiar with them, so it is inevitable that they will ask each other, "Eh, you also bought a bar of soap at the grocery store?" ”

"No, the soap in the county department store requires a ticket, and the family can't afford it, and now there are those who don't need a ticket, so it's convenient and clean to buy a piece and use it for five cents a piece."

"What?! Your five cents a piece? Pan Zhaoke charged me seven cents! No, I've got to go to him and kill the stinky dog with a thousand cuts. , dare to pit me"

After being found by the neighbors a few times, Pan Yang was obedient, took the arithmetic book that Pan Shisong had written with a pencil to the grocery store, cut it into a rectangle of similar size with scissors, and marked the price with a fountain pen one by one according to the purchase price list, and then glued it to the shelves with the paste boiled by Zhang Xuelan.

A box of three cents for foreign fire, two cents a box of gold oil, a pound of salt, and eight cents a pound of sugar

was busy working, seeing Wang Youtian wandering in, Pan Yang stopped what he was doing, said hello, asked him to sit, took a pack of peony brand cigarettes from the counter, opened them, smoked two and handed them to Wang Youtian, and said with a smile, "The work has been handed over?" Why do you have time to hang out with me today? ”

Pan Yang is one of the few people who knows that Wang Youtian is going to be promoted, and knows that he has been busy writing work summaries for a while.

Wang Youtian took the cigarette and said with a smile, "Oh, I have to be busy and idle, besides, every family in the team is busy now, and I don't have to take charge of anything, I am much more idle than before." ”

Wang Youtian put the cigarette on his nose and sniffed it, and did not light it, although Wang Youtian has never smoked a peony brand cigarette, but he also knows that he has to use a ticket to buy this brand, and ordinary people have no chance to smoke it, he has also heard such a slippery, 'salary is thirty-three, cigarettes smoke peony', Wang Youtian usually smokes a pack of thrifty cigarettes for nine cents, the famous peony, this is the first time to smoke it, not to mention, Pan Zhaoke's hospitality is quite real.

At the moment, he was reluctant to smoke, so he stuffed the cigarette to his ears, thinking of the purpose of his coming to Pan Yang, Wang Youtian sorted out his thoughts in his mind, and muttered before saying to Pan Yang, "Zhaoke, I want to recommend you to be a member of the village committee, but you can't be the secretary."

Figured out Wang Youtian's intention, Pan Yang waved his hand again and again, and said with a smile, "Don't recommend me, I don't like to do this, I work too hard to do this, and I can't do this, besides, my ancestors are not good, let me be a committee member, and I can't serve the public." ”

Wang Youtian knew that she would refuse, and said instead, "Everything has changed!" Don't talk about it, just talk about our county, you see that in the past, the county called for learning from comrades Dazhai and Yonggui, but now, the county has abolished the office of agriculture Dazhai, and the county party committee has openly checked in the newspapers, and after the Spring Festival, our party Central Committee has issued a document informing us to take off the hats of land, wealth, anti, bad, and right. Your ancestors went to the earth. The Lord is fine, isn't this on an equal footing with the poor middle peasants right now? What else to worry about! ”

Pan Yang still didn't want to do this salty fried radish and worry about it, but unfortunately before she could think of a prevarication, Wang Youtian slapped her thigh and made a decision for her, and simply said, "Okay, that's it, you believe me, don't underestimate the committee member, your old Pan family will not suffer in the future!" At the end of this year, I will call all the chiefs of the village to my house, and after explaining what is going on, I will go to the county. ”

Pan Yang is not a person who doesn't know how to rely on it, Wang Youtian kindly recommended it, if she doesn't know what to do, this emotional intelligence will not be able to mix it in the future, but she didn't say that she must be it, she only smiled, "Cheng, I'll talk about it when the time comes, I'll go when I have the chance." ”

The two chatted for a while, and when Wang Youtian got up to leave, Pan Yang handed Wang Youtian the opened pack of Peony brand cigarettes.

Wang Youtian said, "How can you take away the expensive things for me." ”

In the future, Wang Youtian will go to the county, Pan Yang may not say what to ask him for help, at the moment, Pan Yang still doesn't look at this little thing, she smiled, "It's all dismantled, and it can't be sold if it's shelved, and you don't know if I don't smoke, take it quickly, don't see me." ”

Wang Youtian smiled and put the cigarette in his pocket and went home.

There was not much traffic in the grocery store in the afternoon, and Pan Yang locked the door in the evening when she saw it, and she came back after dinner. Although it is still relatively rare to steal and pick up people at the moment, so many valuable things are in this thatched house, and she is not at ease when she is not here to watch at night, so she simply puts a single bed in the thatched house, erects it up and leans against the wall during the day, and puts it down at night, puts it on the bed, and she sleeps in this thatched house every day.

In fact, compared to sleeping in the same bed with Zhang Xuelan, Pan Yang would rather sleep in a thatched house by himself, relaxed and comfortable, without worrying about Zhang Xuelan sneaking into her quilt and touching her crotch

When Pan Yang arrived home, Zhang Xuelan had already cooked dinner, white flour buns, pickled cucumbers, a plate of fried eggplant, and cornmeal porridge, Pan Yang was not hungry, the buns were not eaten, but he drank two large bowls of porridge in a row, and now there is no shortage of wheat at home, and they can afford to eat white noodles, but cornmeal and sweet potato noodles are eating less and less, and occasionally eat a meal of coarse grains, I feel quite fragrant!

After eating and drinking, Pan Yang did not rush back to the grocery store, but sat on the second-story stone steps to rest for a while, and asked Pan Shixun and Pan Shiyun if they were used to studying in the commune.

In the early autumn of this year, Pan Shixun and Pan Shiyun both passed the autumn enrollment of the commune middle school and had already gone to the township to attend middle school. From Panjia Village to the township, it takes about an hour to walk to the township, and it takes two hours to come and go, and the time at noon is not enough to walk back and forth, so from the beginning of the new semester, the two brothers and sisters will stay in the middle school cafeteria at noon to eat, go to school in the morning, and come back together in the evening.

Not only her family, but also other children in the village who go to the commune middle school, just after the start of school, Pan Yang had already used the wheat at home to go to the township grain station to exchange for food stamps, and took the money to hand over to the school canteen stove, according to the amount of money, the canteen stove gave a third-class meal, the first-class rice is white flour buns, a meat dish, two vegetarian dishes, you need to pay 30 catties of food stamps every month, and there are eight yuan. The second-class rice is also white flour buns, but there are no meat dishes, only two vegetarian dishes are provided, 30 catties of food stamps per month, plus 5 yuan. As for the third-class rice, it is a multigrain flour bun and a vegetarian dish, and it costs ten catties of food stamps plus two yuan per month.

When the two children are growing up, in terms of eating, Pan Yang will never deduct the children, and decisively order first-class meals for the two children, so that the two children will add up to 60 catties of food stamps per month, plus 16 yuan for living expenses.

Even if they have a good harvest and some spare money in their hands, the living expenses of a child of eight yuan a month are not a small expense, not to mention that there are two or three middle school students in the family at the same time!

Some families have come up with a way to give them a first- or second-class meal if the boy is in middle school at the same time, and the girl is given a second- or third-class meal.

There are a few people who set the second class, and most of them directly give the third class without thinking about it.

What, you're going to say, that's too unfair, isn't it?

You know, in the vast rural areas where sons are more important, it is already very good to be able to provide girls with junior high school, and how can it be possible to think that the family will spend money to order you a first-class meal!

So it is conceivable how much Zhang Xuelan's reaction will be when Pan Yang did not hesitate to order a first-class meal for Pan Shiyun.

"According to my meaning, let Shiyun graduate from elementary school, she is a girl, why should she read so many books? Morning and evening, it's someone else's family, it's good to give her food! ”

Zhang Xuelan's patriarchal thinking continued until she became a grandmother, and it still hasn't changed. Pan Yang was not less angry with Zhang Xuelan when she was a child, she used to be a junior, and she couldn't work against Zhang Xuelan, but now she and Zhang Xuelan are people of the same generation, Zhang Xuelan doesn't let Pan Shiyun study, right, she wants Pan Shiyun to continue to study.

not only let Pan Shiyun continue to read, but also ordered the best meal for her!

Pan Yang's behavior of 'not being able to live' can make Zhang Xuelan half angry.

Now that the two children have been in middle school for half a month, Zhang Xuelan still has a fire in her heart, when Pan Yang asked the two children how the food in the school cafeteria is, Zhang Xuelan said in a non-yin and non-yang manner, "Eight yuan a month, can you eat badly, you see that Shiyun's face has eaten a lot bigger." ”

Pan Shiyun knew that Zhang Xuelan's words were for her, and she didn't dare to squeak anymore when she was still talking to Pan Yang about the school with great interest just now.

Pan Yang was annoyed by Zhang Xuelan's patriarchal appearance, and he didn't have a good temperament, "What's wrong with eight yuan, don't say eight yuan, even fifteen yuan or twenty yuan I can afford it." ”

"What's wrong with Shiyun's big face, it's a blessing for my daughter's face to be big! I earn the money, I spend money on my daughter, I'm happy! ”

Whoever earns money has the right to speak, and this is the principle in any era, as long as Pan Yang says this, Zhang Xuelan will be embarrassed, and said in a hard voice, "Okay, okay, the money is earned by you, you can spend as much as you like, I don't care about it." ”
