Chapter 4
Lin Hanmei's family's newly bought house was very cheap, because the family was in a hurry to move to other provinces and sold the house cheaply, only 800 yuan. Later, a relative of Lin Hanmei's family got married, Lin Hanmei called her sister, and that sister was angry with the man's family and asked for a suit of 800 yuan, Lin Hanmei thought at the time: A suit is 800 yuan, and my house is only 800 yuan.
Lin Hanmei's family originally lived in Team 3 and was also a household of Team 3, but the house they bought was in Team 2, so Lin Hanmei's family moved to Team 2 to live, and it was still a household of Team 3. Team 3 is to the west, Team 2 is next to Team 3, and Team 3 is to the east. There is also a big pit on the west side of Lin Hanmei's house, which is full of water. This big pit is bigger than the big pit in front of Lin Hanmei's original house, and it was wrapped down by a family to raise fish in it. This pit once drowned people, and the drowned person was said to tread water, and it is said that his father and his brother were men in their family who could tread water, and he was only about 20 years old when he died. His family lives on the northern edge of Tai Hang. It was the house where Lin Hanmei's grandmother's family used to live, and at this time, Lin Hanmei's grandmother's family had already moved away. About a year or two after Lin Hanmei's mother died, Lin Hanmei's grandmother's house moved away.
I remember that not long after Lin Hanmei's family moved to Team 2, Qu Cuicui also asked her father to send her to Lin Hanmei's house to play once. Her father said that Qu Cuicui had to come to Lin Hanmei's house, and Qu Cuicui's father spoiled her very much, because his family only had one child, Qu Cuicui, and Lin Hanmei remembered that at that time, there were at least two children in rural families, and there were more. When asked Qu Cuicui what she ate, she said, "Eat the top." "It's the bread she eats, and some of her words can't be pronounced accurately. Later, Qu Cuicui's family and her grandmother's family moved to other provinces, and when they heard that there were relatives in other provinces, they went to relatives.
When Lin Hanmei's family first moved in, there was no one in the neighbor's house in the east, and I heard that the family had returned to the child's grandmother's house, and the child's grandmother's house was far away, so they went back to live for a few more days.
Lin Hanmei's new home has a big garden, which is used to grow vegetables, but her father didn't know how to plant a garden at that time, so he panicked. People often lie on the edge of the garden with a look of pity and say, "This big garden uses to pay a lot of money every year." "I heard that the male owner of this family often sells the vegetables he grows, and he can sell them for a lot of money. Lin Hanmei should have had a garden in the courtyard when she lived in Team 3, because every family in the countryside had a garden at that time. When my mother died, my father couldn't plant, so he flattened the garden. Dad often boasted to Er Bingfu with a proud face: "Look! How good my little courtyard is, it's light. One day in the new home, my father went to the garden to pick up firewood, and when I entered the house, Lin Hanmei found that my father's mouth was moving, so she asked, "Dad, what are you eating?" Dad said, "I'll pick up a little rotten persimmon in the garden and eat it, will you eat it?" Lin Hanmei immediately couldn't wait to say, "I want to eat it too." Dad went to the garden to find one for Lin Hanmei again. The persimmon is on last year's persimmon seedlings. Lin Hanmei's family is from the Northeast, and the crops and vegetables can only be planted for one season, and the persimmon seedlings will dry up in late autumn, so they can only be used as firewood. The persimmon father found it on the persimmon seedlings that the previous family had gathered for firewood.
Lin Hanmei and his uncle decided to go to the provincial capital when he was 20 years old, at that time his eldest sister's family had moved to the provincial capital for many years, he wanted to go to the provincial capital to find some work, his eldest sister's family was there, and they could take care of each other. His eldest sister was not born to his grandmother, but to his father and ex-wife.
Then Lin Hanmei's grandmother brought her brother to spend time with Lin Hanmei and her father. After grandma came to Lin Hanmei's house, she slowly became beautiful to Lin Han. Lin Hanmei felt that the reason why her grandmother was good to herself was because her grandmother came to live in Lin Hanmei's house, and the so-called eating people's mouth was short, and she felt that she should be nice to Lin Han; And Lin Hanmei felt that her grandmother seemed to feel guilty about her father, so she transferred this guilt to Lin Hanmei and turned it into a good treat for Lin Hanmei.
Lin Hanmei didn't know why her grandmother felt guilty about her father at the time. It wasn't until several years later that my aunt told Lin Hanmei that Lin Hanmei knew the reason. It turned out that my father did not agree with my grandmother's remarriage, saying that he would come to support the family, because at that time, my grandmother was the only man in my grandmother's family, and my grandmother did not agree. I heard that my grandmother had a boy with my grandfather after my father, but when I was very young, I was scared by a rooster when I was sleeping, and then I got sick and died within a few days. Lin Hanmei has six aunts. I heard that my grandfather loved my father very much, and he led my father with his hands all day long, and he talked every day about adding some nutrition to his father, but he was not willing to buy anything for his father until he died. Lin Hanmei thought that grandpa, like her father, was reluctant to spend money.
When grandma remarried, only Lin Hanmei's aunt got married. Grandma thought she couldn't support such a big family, so she remarried. My aunt said that grandma's remarriage was not good to my father at all, and my father glared at him when he took a bite of food. Because my father has an upright personality and is not used to pleasing him.
So when my father was a teenager, he went to work in the production team by himself and settled in the production team at his fourth aunt's house. Eat and live in his fourth aunt's house, and think about whether his father can do it or not. After making money, he also asked the fourth aunt to help him put it aside. One day, his father said to his fourth aunt, "Fourth aunt, where is my money?" "Dad thought: I have 6 or 700 money, I want to see. But his fourth aunt said, "Your money, you don't have money." Dad was dumbfounded. Later, my father found the captain and wanted the captain to help him get the money out, but his fourth aunt didn't give it, and said, "I have a small book, I remember it, take my little book to see if there is any money from you." Dad said, "Fourth aunt, pull it down, why didn't you say that you had a small book?" His fourth aunt cried. 6, 700 is nothing now, 4 or 50 years ago, it was a lot of money. Grandma said that my father spent 1,000 yuan to marry my mother, which was a high price at the time, and my father earned it himself. The old aunt's evaluation of the fourth aunt's father's money is: Take relatives as relatives. My aunt said that if my father put the money in my grandmother's place, my grandmother would not take it with her.
And Lin Hanmei's fourth aunt was brought up by Lin Hanmei's grandmother since she was a child, they have no mother since they were children, and her grandmother is the eldest and brought her up single-handedly. Lin Hanmei still remembers that her grandmother said that when the fourth aunt was a child, she once used a kitchen knife to chop the sweet stalk, which is similar to sugar cane, but thinner than sugar cane. Grandma immediately put some sugar on her, and strangled her tightly with a strip of cloth, and the fingers grew on their own.
And Lin Hanmei's father didn't tell Lin Hanmei and her brother, and her father didn't say that grandma's remarriage was not good. Lin Hanmei and her brother didn't even know that their aunt was not born to their grandmother, and their father and grandmother didn't tell Lin Hanmei and her brother. There was still a time when my father and his relatives said that Lin Hanmei and my brother overheard it, and asked them in the bottom of it, and my father and grandmother said it.
