Chapter 16
After Lin Hanmei stopped going to school, she stayed at home for a while, and then went to her aunt's house.
My aunt's family moved, and the new home was in the north of the county seat, with a very large garden. Because the aunt likes flowers, except for a few green onions in the garden, the rest of the aunts have planted flowers. There were also flower pots on the windowsill in the front room, and many flower pots on the fence of the garden.
After the aunt heard that Lin Hanmei stopped studying because she was not good at studying, she bought a literacy book for Lin Hanmei, and also bought a notebook and pencils, so that Lin Hanmei could write according to the book. Slowly, Lin Hanmei can also write, not only simple strokes can be written, but complex strokes can also be written, like the word "pen". Auntie also praised Lin Hanmei for writing well.
When the second uncle came, the aunt said to the second uncle: "Look at the handwriting written by Hanmei, is it good at writing?" The second uncle will pour cold water, and when he saw the words written by Lin Hanmei, he said: "Do you know how to write light?" He pointed to a word on Lin Hanmei's notebook and asked, "What is this reading?" The second uncle was referring to the "pen". Lin Hanmei faintly felt that she was reading "pen", but she didn't dare to say it, for fear that she would say something wrong, so she said: "I don't know." The second uncle said, "What's the use of just knowing how to write and not knowing?" ”
After the eldest cousin got married, she lived with the eldest aunt. The eldest cousin studied Chinese in college, majored in teacher training, and taught Lin Hanmei Tang poetry when she was free from work or on vacation. The eldest cousin backed: "Qingyin, Tang, Du Mu." Lin Hanmei also read: "Qingyin, Tang, Du Mu." The eldest cousin backed: "It rained in the Qingyin season," Lin Hanmei followed along: "It rained in the Qingyin season," and the eldest cousin recited again: "Pedestrians on the road want to break their souls." Lin Hanmei also read: "Pedestrians on the road want to break their souls." The eldest cousin then recited: "Where is the restaurant?" Lin Hanmei continued: "Where is the restaurant?" The eldest cousin recited again: "The shepherd boy refers to Xinghua Village." Lin Hanmei also read: "The shepherd boy refers to Xinghua Village." The eldest cousin took the trouble to teach over and over again, and slowly Lin Hanmei would memorize it. But the eldest cousin still has to teach Lin Hanmei the meaning of Tang poems. The eldest cousin said: "This poem says that it was raining when it was clear in the clouds, and there was a person walking on the road who was in a sad mood, so ask passers-by where there is a restaurant?" A shepherd boy pointed to Xinghua Village and said that there was a restaurant there. In fact, after the eldest cousin explained the meaning, Lin Hanmei didn't really understand what this Tang poem meant, so she just followed the eldest cousin mechanically. The eldest cousin also asked Lin Hanmei to make a move, explaining that when the shepherd boy pointed to Xinghua Village, the eldest cousin stretched out a finger and asked Lin Hanmei to stretch out a finger, so that Lin Hanmei could vividly express the meaning of the shepherd boy's remote finger. After a period of exercise, although Lin Hanmei didn't understand the whole poem and its meaning in her heart, she could really recite the whole poem and its meaning vividly and with action.
Like "Silent Night Thoughts" and its meaning, the eldest cousin also taught Lin Hanmei like this. The eldest cousin taught Lin Han a lot of Tang poetry during that time. So much so that Lin Hanmei would memorize a lot of Tang poems before she went to school.
The third cousin often asked Lin Hanmei to write Tang poems. She wrote it in the notebook first and asked Lin Hanmei to write it accordingly. The most written is "Silent Night Thoughts". Lin Hanmei finished writing it and showed it to her third cousin, and when the third cousin read it, she usually said, "I didn't write it well, write it again." Lin Hanmei wrote it again, but the third cousin still said: "If you don't write well, write it again." After writing it several times, the third cousin let Lin Hanmei rest for a while. If only the third cousin is left in the family to take Lin Hanmei, and the third cousin is busy with work or the third cousin's classmates come, and the third cousin accompanies her classmates to talk, the third cousin will ask Lin Hanmei to write Tang poems over and over again. Later, Lin Hanmei thought that it was probably because children were relatively quiet when they wrote, so they wouldn't come to make trouble.
At that time, Lin Hanmei lived with her third cousin at night, living in the little cousin's house, because the little cousin was fatter, so she lived in a double bed. And the little cousin had to go to the third sister's house to live in the third sister's single bed.
Lin Hanmei has lice on her head and body, and she also crawled on her third cousin's head. The third cousin sometimes complained to her aunt, saying: "Just now my classmate came, I sat on the sofa with her, I felt something crawling on my head, I thought what it was, touched it with my hand, took it down and saw that it was a lice, so I threw it on the ground." When the aunt heard this, she laughed and said, "What are you afraid of?" The third cousin said with annoyance: "I'm so embarrassed, people still think I have lice." ”
The third cousin saw that she couldn't move her aunt, so she secretly said to Lin Hanmei at night: "Don't come in the future, your aunt is not in good health, and there is no place to live here, your little brother is not willing to live in my house, isn't your little brother fat, my house is a single bed, and he thinks my bed is small." It's nice to stay in your own home, isn't it? Lin Hanmei nodded, but thought in her heart: I won't not come.
I heard my aunt say that my little cousin was very thin when he was a child. But he didn't study well since he was a child, and his eldest uncle got angry and said to his little cousin: "You will get up for me at three o'clock in the morning on a cloudy day to study!" The next day, the little cousin got up at three o'clock in the morning, dressed up neatly and sat at the table, but did not study, and was so sleepy that little by little. This past was often mentioned as a joke by the eldest cousin.
Later, the aunt saw that the little cousin was really not a learning material, so she sent the little cousin to the regional sports school, where the little cousin practiced weightlifting, and his body became fat.
In fact, the little cousin is very smart and talented. Once Lin Hanmei took a notebook and pencil and pestered her aunt to draw for her, and the aunt made a mistake and said, "I can't draw." When he looked up and saw his little cousin sitting next to him, he suddenly said, "I can draw here." Then he handed the notebook and pencil to his little cousin and said, "Quick, you draw a picture for Hanmei." The little cousin took the notebook and pencil, and finished drawing in a few strokes. Lin Hanmei took the notebook and took a look, only to see that the notebook was painted with two people sitting next to each other, and the painting was so expressive. Lin Han was happy and asked her little cousin: "Little brother, what is the relationship between the two?" The little cousin said jokingly: "They are two." ”
Everyone in Lin Hanmei's family is very good at eating chili peppers, and Lin Hanmei has been eating chili peppers since she was a child. The little cousin can eat a little spicy, but not too spicy. When the little cousin was eating, he ate a very spicy chili, so he handed it to Lin Hanmei and said, "Do you taste this chili pepper?" Lin Hanmei took it and tasted it, and said, "It's not spicy." The little cousin said, "Why am I eating so spicy?" After a while, the little cousin ate a spicier chili pepper, handed it to Lin Hanmei and said, "Can you taste this again?" Lin Hanmei tasted it, but still said, "It's not spicy." After a while, the little cousin ate a particularly spicy chili pepper again, and asked Lin Hanmei to taste it, Lin Hanmei tasted it, and also felt very spicy, but she still said recklessly: "It's not spicy." "Actually, Lin Hanmei is spicy enough. As soon as she ate, her little cousin asked Lin Hanmei to taste the chili peppers, in fact, most of the time, Lin Hanmei also felt very spicy, but she just said that it was not spicy. Later, Lin Hanmei thought: Little cousin really didn't see that he was also very spicy at that time, or did he deliberately spoil himself?
