Chapter 15

Once, the man came to Lin Hanmei's house to find his aunt again, it was winter, and Lin Hanmei's father was also at home. Dad was in a hurry, and he was lying on the kang, and while talking to the man, he got up from the kang and said, "Go, I'll go with you to find it." Saying that, Dad got off the ground and said to Lin Hanmei and the others, "Give me my hand." I'll go with him. "A hand glove is a cotton glove. There was a hand on the edge of the kang, and Dad picked it up. At that time, Lin Hanmei and her grandmother were sitting on the kang with a small quilt, Lin Hanmei lifted the quilt and found that her father's other hand was under the quilt, but Lin Hanmei didn't want her father to go with the man. So Lin Hanmei said: "There is no hand." Seeing that he couldn't find the hand, Dad stood on the ground and talked to the man for a while, and then he didn't go with the man to look for it.

For a while, my grandmother took Lin Hanmei to my third aunt's house, my brother was going to school, and my father was at home with him. After grandma and Lin Hanmei stayed at the third aunt's house for a few days, Dad brought a letter to Grandma and Lin Hanmei to go back to watch the house, Dad was going to Lin Hanmei's aunt's house to drink happy wine, and the eldest cousin of the aunt's family was going to get married. Because the man went to Lin Hanmei's house again when his grandmother and Lin Hanmei were not at home, his father asked him to bring a letter. After the man finished bringing the letter, he said, "I will go with my eldest brother on that day." He thought his father was going to send his aunt to his aunt's house. Lin Hanmei and her grandmother thought to themselves: You go with you, go with you, anyway, Dad won't send my aunt to my aunt's house.

So Lin Hanmei went home with her grandmother. A few days later, Dad went to my aunt's house to drink wedding wine. Because the man walked from his house to the station, he met his father at the station that day, and he really followed his father to Lin Hanmei's aunt's house, and his father followed him with fifty yuan. Fifty yuan was a high price at that time, and at that time, there were people in the village who held happy events, and ordinary people only followed five yuan. I had never heard of fifty dollars at the time.

The man probably followed Lin Hanmei's father to Lin Hanmei's aunt's house with hope, but he didn't see the old girl, the man finally gave up and never came to Lin Hanmei's house to find the old aunt again. Later, I heard that the man sent his eldest child to his eldest brother to raise, took the child to a very developed nearby city and sold it, and then the man went to the county to find another person to marry.

Dad came back from drinking wedding wine from my aunt's house and said to Lin Hanmei: "I saw your eldest brother, your eldest brother asked me what Hanmei was doing, and I said stay at home." "The eldest brother is the eldest cousin of the aunt's family. Lin Hanmei was eating at the time, and said embarrassedly while pulling the rice into her mouth while holding the rice bowl: "Didn't you say that you went to school?" Dad said, "I didn't." He also said, "Your eldest brother also said, old uncle, why didn't you bring Hanmei, Hanmei is interesting." ”

In fact, before grandma came to Lin Hanmei's house, my father sometimes sent Lin Hanmei to the third aunt's house for a while. The third aunt is very good to Lin Hanmei, but the third aunt has a big cousin, but she always bullies Lin Hanmei. The eldest cousin is the same age as Lin Hanmei, only more than two months older than Lin Hanmei. Lin Hanmei has to listen to her eldest cousin in everything, and if she doesn't listen to her eldest cousin, her eldest cousin will scold or beat Lin Hanmei. The eldest cousin scolded or beat Lin Hanmei, Lin Hanmei generally endured it, but she couldn't bear it anymore, Lin Hanmei would run to tell the third aunt, and the third aunt would beat the eldest cousin hard. Lin Hanmei still remembers that once the third aunt used a rake to hold firewood in the garden, Lin Hanmei and her eldest cousin were playing outside, and the eldest cousin beat Lin Hanmei again, Lin Hanmei ran to tell the third aunt, saying, "Third aunt, my eldest sister beat me again." When the third aunt heard this, she immediately ran out of the garden angrily with a rake, and immediately pushed the eldest cousin to the ground, picked up the rake and hit the eldest cousin's back with the back of the rake, knocked it several times, and knocked the eldest cousin to tears. The third aunt also asked the eldest cousin fiercely: "Xiaomei, you are not allowed to bully your old sister in the future, can you remember?" "The eldest cousin's name is Sun Xiaomei. The eldest cousin cried and said, "Mom, I remember, don't bully my old sister anymore, Mom, don't beat me." "The third aunt won't beat the eldest cousin. But after that, the eldest cousin will still bully Lin Hanmei.

The eldest cousin is also quite disrespectful to Lin Hanmei's grandmother, and calls Lin Hanmei's grandmother a blind grandma. I asked my eldest cousin who made your padded jacket for you, and my eldest cousin said, "Blind grandma made it." Lin Hanmei still wondered: My grandma is not blind, why does she call my grandma blind?

Once the third aunt took Lin Hanmei out, but she didn't bring her eldest cousin and asked her to take care of the house at home. The third aunt also smeared some oil from the sewing machine on Lin Hanmei's head, and the third aunt also wiped some on her own head. The hair that was shiny after the oil was smeared on his head made Lin Hanmei beautiful enough. In those days, the conditions were not good, and people often used that oil as hair oil and rubbed it on their heads before going out. The third aunt likes Lin Hanmei very much and calls her Lin Hanmei's eldest niece.

There is a reason why the third aunt is so good to Lin Hanmei, the reason is Lin Hanmei's father, and the third aunt is very grateful to Lin Hanmei's father. I heard that the third aunt was engaged once before marrying the third uncle, and the family was the same as the grandmother's family. After getting engaged, the person who was engaged to the third aunt suddenly got a serious illness, and he was so sick that he was dying, and the people in his family had to marry the third aunt. His family probably bullied the third aunt is stepfather, thinking that no one would give the third aunt a head. Lin Hanmei's father didn't let the third aunt marry, and quarreled and fought with the family, and finally made the third aunt not marry that person. That person really died not long after, so the third aunt was very grateful to Lin Hanmei's father.

The third aunt later married the third aunt. After giving birth to her eldest cousin and a boy, the third aunt underwent sterilization. But that year, the third aunt was sick, lying on the kang all day, not eating much, but always vomiting. After being ill for several months, the third aunt gave birth to another boy. The adults all said that the third aunt was not sick before, but pregnant. But after being sterilized and giving birth to a child, it is very puzzling.

The three children of the third aunt's family are all unconscious, they have been able to cry since they were children, and their teeth are still long when they cry, which means that they cry endlessly. Lin Hanmei didn't know what the two eldest children of the third aunt's family were like when they were young, but they listened to the adults. The youngest boy can cry, Lin Hanmei has seen it. Once grandma and Lin Hanmei went to the third aunt's house, Lin Hanmei and her eldest cousin went to the wicker forest in front to pick some mushrooms, but they didn't pick much. After coming back, the third aunt soaked the mushrooms with boiling water, and then stewed the mushrooms and cabbage together. After the stew was served, the little boy of the third aunt's family saw that there were few mushrooms, so he didn't let everyone eat the mushrooms, and only allowed him to eat alone. But he ate all the mushrooms for a while, and when the boy saw that the mushrooms were gone, he immediately began to cry, and the third aunt saw that he was crying, so she coaxed him to pick them for him again one day. But he cried and shouted, "I'm going to haze you, I'm going to haze you." He couldn't bite the words correctly, and the "ha" he said was "kill". I kept crying for a long, long time before I stopped.
