Chapter 2

The person who remarried the grandmother also had the surname Lin.

Lin Hanmei's father was only 15 years old when her grandfather died, and Lin Hanmei's aunt was just 8 months old. Lin Hanmei's grandfather was more than ten years older than her grandmother, and Lin Hanmei's grandfather was only 52 years old when he died. Before grandma, grandpa also married a wife, and later died, Lin Hanmei's aunt was not born by grandma, but by grandpa's previous wife. Lin Hanmei heard her father say that her grandfather had a good temper. Lin Hanmei often thinks: If only I could see how good my grandfather was, someone with such a good temper.

Lin Hanmei only occasionally went to her grandmother's house when she was a child, and when she grew up, Lin Hanmei was white because her grandmother was eccentric at that time, and she just wanted to take care of her brother, not Lin Hanmei, because her brother was a boy.

After her grandmother remarried, she gave birth to an uncle to Lin Hanmei. I don't have much impression of my uncle's father, Lin Hanmei, I only remember going to my grandmother's house once and seeing him walking on the ground with a cane. After that, I never saw him again, because he died.

So Lin Hanmei lived with her father most of the time when she was a child.

When she was a child, Lin Hanmei was very loved by her father, and Lin Hanmei can still recall her father's doting and smiling eyes when she looked at her. Dad doesn't seem to like Lin Hanmei enough. Although Dad was rich at that time, he was reluctant to spend it, and he was reluctant to buy meat during the Chinese New Year, it was all grandma's family who killed pigs and got some meat for Dad and Lin Hanmei. It's probably not much, it's only two or three catties, Lin Hanmei thinks now. Lin Hanmei remembered that her father always stewed meat and potatoes together, and Lin Hanmei often looked for meat to eat in the vegetable helmet, and when she found a piece, she held it up and said, "Dad, look!" A piece of meat. And then I ate it. Sometimes Lin Hanmei will also find out in conscience, and when she finds a piece of meat, she hands it to her father and says, "Dad, you eat meat." But Dad laughed and said, "Dad doesn't eat it, you can eat it." She also touched Lin Hanmei's head. So he was eaten by Lin Hanmei again. Sometimes even though Lin Hanmei insisted that her father eat meat, her father didn't eat it, only eating potato wedges. When the meat was gone, my father would say, "Look at your milk, just take this bit of meat." "Lin Hanmei thought that I had eaten all the meat, but my father didn't eat a single piece. When she grew up, Lin Hanmei knew that her father actually loved meat.

When Dad is idle, he will let Lin Hanmei play with other children during the day. At that time, there was nothing to play in the countryside, and a sunflower pole and a dry branch were often children's playthings. Sometimes when Lin Hanmei is playing, her father will come to see Lin Hanmei. Dad shouted from the side: "Old son! "Dad's name is Lin Hanmei's old son. Lin Hanmei dragged a sunflower pole or a dry branch to her father and asked, "Dad, what are you doing?" Dad would say, "What are you doing, are you cold?" Lin Hanmei said: "It's not cold." Dad wiped Lin Hanmei's nose with his hand, and then said, "Let's play cold." Lin Hanmei went to play in the children's pile again.

When Dad went to work in the field, he took Lin Hanmei with him. When I was planting, my father planted a section and then turned back and planted it, and when he had planted all the land in this part of his house, he moved the next section and planted it again. The same is true for shoveling. Dad was afraid that Lin Hanmei would be too tired to follow all the time. When Dad turned back and forth like this, Lin Hanmei could sit in the field for a while. Lin Hanmei only wants to be white now, in fact, it is very time-consuming and tiring for her father to turn back like that.

When planting the land, my father asked Lin Hanmei to help with some seeds, and Lin Hanmei helped with them. Dad said that there are two pits in one place, and Lin Hanmei will have two pits in one pit point, never more and no less. Lin Hanmei still remembers that once someone in Houtun went to her house, and her father proudly said to others: "Idea, I asked my old son to order two, and she will order two, don't bring more, I don't believe you can pick it out and take a look!" ”

One day, after her father took Lin Hanmei to the field to shovel the land for a while, Lin Hanmei's nose bleed, and there was a lot. It was probably too hot that day. After the nose finally stopped bleeding, Dad sent Lin Hanmei to the woods on the ground, so that she could be cool there, there happened to be a group of children playing in the woods that day, and Dad asked them to take Lin Hanmei to play together. They beckoned Lin Hanmei to play with them.

Since then, Dad has not taken Lin Hanmei with him on the ground, and let Lin Hanmei go to Qu Cuicui's house to play. Qu Cuicui lives with her parents and her grandmother's family. Qu Cuicui's grandfather and Lin Hanmei's mother's family are a bit related.

Qu Cuicui and Lin Hanmei are about the same age, and the two of them play well. But Qu Cuicui had an old uncle who was very annoying, he was about sixteen or seventeen years old at the time, and he didn't go to school, and sat on the kang in the east house all day. Qu Cuicui's house is three rooms, just come in is the kitchen, and then come in is two kangs, there is a wall in the middle of the two kangs, and the ground is open.

Lin Hanmei usually plays with Qu Cuicui on the West House Kang, sometimes Qu Cuicui gives Lin Hanmei something to eat, at that time, rural children didn't have anything to eat, nothing more than a few burnt corn kernels or something, Qu Cuicui and her uncle didn't let it. At this time, Qu Cuicui's uncle often came to the Westinghouse and said to her, "You can't give her food." Qu Cuicui often agreed on the surface, but secretly gave it behind her back. Qu Cuicui, her uncle saw that she couldn't control Qu Cuicui, so she said to Lin Hanmei: "You can't ask for anything she can give you food again!" Lin Hanmei was afraid of him and timidly agreed. So Qu Cuicui gave Lin Hanmei food again, but Lin Hanmei didn't dare to ask for it. At this time, Qu Cuicui said: "It's okay, my uncle doesn't know." Lin Hanmei took it. Or Qu Cuicui asked Lin Hanmei to eat something quickly. If Qu Cuicui's uncle came in and asked her, "Did you give her anything to eat?" Qu Cuicui said innocently: "I didn't give it!" "Her uncle can't help it. Sometimes her uncle would come in when Qu Cuicui had just finished giving Lin Hanmei things and Lin Hanmei didn't have time to eat, and asked Lin Hanmei to open her hand to show him, and Lin Hanmei opened her hand and revealed her stuffing. At this time, Qu Cuicui said: "This is what she brought from home." In case of being caught by her uncle, sometimes Qu Cuicui would call Lin Hanmei outside to give her food. Lin Hanmei still remembers that once Qu Cuicui kept a few roasted corn kernels for several hours in order not to let her uncle know, until her uncle finally went out for a while. Lin Hanmei was moved, because it is not easy for children to keep things. Lin Hanmei wanted to give Qu Cuicui a few grains, but Qu Cuicui didn't want it, so she only urged Lin Hanmei: "Hurry up and eat!" After a while my uncle came back. Lin Hanmei thinks that Qu Cuicui is smart and cunning, and she is very kind, Lin Hanmei really likes her.

Qu Cuicui's father would only occasionally buy her some dry food such as biscuits, and when he bought it back, he would give Lin Hanmei a piece, and Lin Hanmei was so happy. And at this time, Qu Cuicui and her uncle didn't care. Lin Hanmei also likes Qu Cuicui's father, her father is always smiling and gentle, unlike Qu Cuicui's uncle, who is always fierce and vicious.
