Chapter 17

After the eldest cousin-in-law and the eldest cousin got married, they temporarily lived at the eldest aunt's house. The eldest cousin-in-law could cook, and at that time the eldest brother-in-law got up every morning to make breakfast.

The eldest cousin-in-law's family, Lin Hanmei's family, and the eldest aunt's family are all from the same province, in a township in a county-level city in the north. There is a mountain in the eldest cousin-in-law's house, and once the eldest cousin and the eldest cousin-in-law went back to their hometown and picked a lot of mountain dings from the mountain. The fruit of the mountain clove is small, with a small handful, it is green when it is not ripe, and it becomes a red color when it is ripe, and it is very sour whether it is ripe or not. The eldest cousin and the eldest cousin-in-law brought back a lot of mountain dingzi from their hometown that time, just in time for Lin Hanmei to go home, and the aunt also brought a lot to Lin Hanmei. The eldest cousin-in-law instructed to steam it with sugar. After I went back, my grandmother steamed it with sugar, but it was still very sour.

The eldest cousin-in-law's father is a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner who opened a clinic in the township, and the family is living well.

Once, one night in winter, there was a kettle sitting on the boiler, and the eldest cousin-in-law wanted to boil eggs in the kettle and asked everyone who would eat it. The eldest cousin-in-law also asked Lin Hanmei if she would eat, and Lin Hanmei said, "Eat." Asked Lin Hanmei how many to eat, Lin Hanmei said, "Eat eight." The eldest cousin-in-law said, "You can't boil eight eggs in a kettle, and you can eat eight." "Children seem to be very fond of saying, "Eight." Lin Hanmei thinks.

In the summer, when the gate came to sell ice cream with pots, the children in the house rushed to the gate. At that time, there were a lot of children in the eldest aunt's family, and there were only four in the eldest aunt's family, plus the eldest cousin got married, and the third cousin had a boyfriend. There are also two daughters, one boy and three children from the eldest uncle's younger brother's family, at this time, the eldest aunt's younger brother's Lin Hanmei called the second sister also got married, and the fourth sister called the fourth sister had a boyfriend, and they often stayed at the aunt's house. The third cousin also called Lin Hanmei, so many people surrounded the old lady who sold ice cream, one person took one or two to eat, everyone often ate "paste", and the paste was divided into three types: the first one, whoever finished eating it in the end will paste whom; The second type of ice cream seller will be paste; The third is that everyone will be confused by whoever they say. The person who suffers from the paste has to pay all the money for the ice cream. When eating the first "paste", the third cousin told Lin Hanmei to eat it quickly at the beginning. Once when I ate the first kind of "paste", my eldest cousin-in-law ate the slowest and suffered from the paste. Another time, eating the third kind of "paste", the old lady who sold ice cream asked everyone who was paste, and everyone smiled and pointed to the second brother-in-law and said, "Paste him." The second brother-in-law was eating ice cream, and he was smiling.

A pot of ice cream sold is full of more than 20 ice creams, and so many people often eat all the ice cream. Once, when a pot of ice cream was eaten by everyone, the old lady who sold the ice cream said, "Why don't you leave me a few sticks, I can sell them for a while." ”

At that time, cartoons were played every night, and Lin Hanmei really wanted to watch them, but her uncle had to watch the news at that time, and Lin Hanmei couldn't watch cartoons. Since her uncle didn't like Lin Hanmei very much, Lin Hanmei was very afraid of her uncle and didn't dare to tell her uncle that she wanted to watch cartoons. Only once, the person next door to the aunt's house brought her little boy to the aunt's house at night, and the uncle dialed the stage, and the little boy saw that there was a cartoon being played, so he said loudly: "I want to watch cartoons, I want to watch cartoons." His mother said, "Your grandfather still has to watch the news." "Grandpa" refers to the eldest uncle. But the eldest uncle said to the little boy with a pleasant face, "Look, look." So Lin Hanmei borrowed the light of the little boy and watched the cartoon for a while. Lin Hanmei thought: It would be nice if the little boy came every night.

The third cousin loves photography. She bought a camera and sometimes took pictures of Lin Hanmei. Lin Hanmei was eating persimmons once, and her third cousin wanted to take a picture of Lin Hanmei, so Lin Hanmei stood in front of the dressing mirror while eating persimmons and looked at Lin Hanmei in the mirror with a camera. Another time, the aunt asked Lin Hanmei to take a photo of a flower that grew quite tall in the garden, and the third cousin took a photo.

The third cousin's boyfriend came back from winter vacation and bought a box of yogurt from the city where he went to college and gave it to his aunt's family. Lin Hanmei went, and her aunt asked Lin Hanmei to taste it, and when Lin Hanmei tasted it, she didn't think it tasted good, and she felt that it tasted weird, but Lin Hanmei lied and said, "It's delicious." As soon as the aunt heard Lin Hanmei say that it was delicious, she immediately said happily: "Do you like to drink?" Then you can go home and get it back for you. Lin Hanmei thought: It is exactly what I want. Later, when Lin Hanmei went home, her aunt really brought the yogurt back to Lin Hanmei. That yogurt Lin Hanmei's father loves to drink very much, and almost all of them are drunk by his father.

The third cousin's boyfriend is on vacation and often comes to his aunt's house, and the third cousin stays in the same room with him to talk. After a long time, the eldest cousin asked Lin Hanmei to go into the room where they stayed to take a look, and Lin Hanmei went. As soon as they entered, the third cousin and his boyfriend both spoke to Lin Hanmei very well, and Lin Hanmei was reluctant to go out when she talked to others. Once the third cousin made an excuse to go to the toilet, thinking that Lin Hanmei didn't come out when she left, but as a result, the third cousin came back from the toilet and Lin Hanmei was still in the house. The eldest cousin saw that Lin Hanmei did not come out for a long time, and they would call Lin Hanmei again. Lin Hanmei would lie at the door with a very bad attitude and ask, "What are you doing?" The eldest cousin lied to Lin Hanmei and said, "Your aunt called you." Lin Hanmei came out reluctantly.

Once, the eldest cousin said to Lin Hanmei: "Hanmei, I'll make a phone call and you can talk." Lin Hanmei said, "Okay." So the eldest cousin dialed a number and asked Lin Hanmei to listen to the phone. The other party picked up the phone and said, "Hey, who's it?" Lin Hanmei said: "The surname is Gao, Gao Mao's family." Because that's what my uncle usually said when he called, Lin Hanmei followed suit. But the eldest cousin immediately snatched the phone and hung up, and said to Lin Hanmei with an ugly face: "You have to tell the truth, you can't make up a name?" Lin Hanmei was very angry, so she ran to her grandmother's house alone. The eldest grandmother is the mother of the fourth aunt, and she also took a melon for Lin Hanmei to eat.

After a while, the third cousin came to find Lin Hanmei. shouted at the gate: "Grandma, did Lin Hanmei come to you?" Grandma said, "Here it is." The third cousin said, "You let her out." The grandmother said, "Come in and stay for a while." The third cousin said, "No, grandma." The eldest grandmother said to Lin Hanmei: "Your third sister let you go out." So Lin Hanmei came out. The third cousin saw Lin Hanmei and asked, "Are you angry with your eldest brother?" Lin Hanmei nodded. The third cousin said: "If you are angry, you can't run around alone, what if you get lost." Then he said, "I was washing clothes, and the eldest brother said that you were angry and ran away, so let me come to you, and you saw that your pants were washed, and you didn't have pants to wear, so you came wearing a pair of torn pants." Lin Hanmei said: "What are you afraid of? The third cousin said, "I'm embarrassed to meet people." ”
