Chapter 3
Lin Hanmei remembered that at that time, the neighbor to the east of her house was called Zhao Bingfu, and some people called him Er Bingfu, because he was the second in line, and there was no one to the west of Lin Hanmei's house, and Lin Hanmei's house was the head of the first trip to the house. Zhao Bingfu lived alone, his daughter-in-law didn't know if she died or ran away, he had a daughter-in-law who stayed at his brother's house. Lin Hanmei sometimes went to Zhao Bingfu's house to eat his pickled green onion leaves and pickles, but Lin Hanmei's family didn't have them, so they ate them with the leftovers. If Dad went to Zhao Bingfu's house and found out, he would say: "This kid is going to eat green onion leaves and pickles again." Lin Hanmei tilted her head, didn't speak, and continued to eat. At this time, Zhao Bingfu often said with a smile: "Eat, eat." He also said, "This little yellow-haired girl is amazing!" Because Lin Hanmei has yellow hair, he always calls Lin Hanmei a little yellow girl. And what he said was great meant by personality, Lin Hanmei thought: I'm not great either.
Because he doesn't often stay with his brother, his brother and Lin Hanmei are not close. Lin Hanmei still remembers that once she went to her grandmother's house, and her grandmother's house fried melon seeds, and Lin Hanmei still didn't knock the melon seeds, so she picked up the melon seeds and ate them. At this time, the second old lady volunteered to say to Lin Hanmei: "I'll pick it up for you." "The second old lady is the grandmother's stepmother-in-law, and she lives with her younger sons, and the little daughter-in-law treats her badly, and she often stays at her grandmother's house day by day. Her youngest son's family lives in the west courtyard of his grandmother's house. When she fell asleep at her grandmother's house during the day, her grandmother often asked Lin Hanmei or her brother to check if she was still angry, because she was very old, and her grandmother was afraid that she would die suddenly at her grandmother's house. The second old lady gave Lin Hanmei a bit of a way to please her grandmother, because the person who remarried her grandmother, that is, her eldest son, had died, and she always felt that it was not righteous to stay at her grandmother's house during the day. Even though she never ate at her grandmother's house, she always went back before eating. In fact, her grandmother was very good to her, never gave her a face, and never disliked her. Someone gave melon seeds, and Lin Hanmei was of course happy. Before the pickup, the second old lady also said: "I don't bury it." "It's what she means when she's not dirty. And he said, "I will not eat it for you." So the second old lady began to pick up melon seeds for Lin Hanmei, Lin Hanmei thought: I won't eat it first, I'll save it, and I'll eat it after saving a lot of it. Because it chews so well. Then Lin Hanmei happily saved one by one. When I had saved most of the handful, my brother came back from playing outside, saw the melon seeds, and said, "Hey, melon seeds!" He snatched it and ate it in a big gulp. Lin Hanmei was mad, waved her hands and screamed, went up and grabbed her brother's hand to snatch the melon seeds back, but the brother quickly ate the melon seeds, and gave Lin Hanmei a punch when he returned his hand, which bleed Lin Hanmei's nose at once. Lin Hanmei cried in pain, but her brother was not ashamed of it, lying on the lap of the second old lady, and said with a smile: "Pick it up for me." ”
The uncle is only 10 years older than Lin Hanmei's brother, and as soon as Lin Hanmei went to her grandmother's house, the uncle laughed at her, saying that she had a carob gourd head and triangular eyes, and her brother also laughed with her.
Grandma didn't like Lin Hanmei very much when she was a child. Lin Hanmei still remembers that once her grandmother took her brother to the fourth aunt's house, and her father sent Lin Hanmei too. One day, my grandmother caught lice for my brother, and my brother also caught Lin Hanmei, so my grandmother got angry and stopped catching my brother, saying: "She also has to catch lice when people catch lice, and it's not good to catch lice together." He also said, "When people came to visit the door, she followed." ”
Once Lin Hanmei was playing on the road in front of her grandmother's house, but somehow she couldn't find her grandmother's house, and ran into the wicker forest alone, Lin Hanmei was so frightened that she cried. At this time, a big sister and a big brother came over and asked Lin Hanmei why she was crying, and Lin Hanmei said, "I can't find my grandmother's house." The eldest sister said, "Then the sister and brother will send you back, okay?" "Do you know my grandmother's house?" Lin Hanmei asked with a sob. "Yes." Big sister said. Lin Hanmei saw that the big sister was so beautiful, like an angel. Later, the eldest sister and eldest brother sent Lin Hanmei back to her grandmother's house. After my grandmother thanked them for sending them away, she said angrily: "I've been looking for them for several laps, and I can get lost while playing on the road, and I can't find a home so far?!" ”
Another time my grandmother went to Lin Hanmei's house, and when she left, Lin Hanmei wanted to follow, but her grandmother was unwilling in every way, Lin Hanmei had to follow, and later her grandmother reluctantly agreed because of Lin Hanmei's father's face. But when I walked to a small ditch, it was not very wide, and it rained out, Lin Hanmei was small, and I couldn't get by. Lin Hanmei asked her grandmother to carry her over, but her grandmother refused, so she just asked Lin Hanmei to go back. So Lin Hanmei had no choice but to go back alone.
My brother didn't come back from my grandmother's house until he went to school. At that time, Lin Hanmei did not have a kindergarten in her village, and she went to school at the age of 8 and went directly to the first grade of primary school. Lin Hanmei still remembers that her father often bought a knife for her brother to sharpen pencils. And my brother often lost the knife, and my father bought it for him again, because my father liked knives. For a while, Lin Hanmei always liked to rummage through her brother's schoolbag, and her brother complained to her father: "Look at your old son, you always look through other people's schoolbags." Dad said to Lin Hanmei: "Old son, don't rummage through other people's schoolbags." Lin Hanmei won't turn it over.
One evening, my brother went to the field to look for my father, who was shoveling the ground. My brother asked my father to come home, and my father said, "I'll shovel it for a while." After a while, my brother asked my father to come home, and my father said, "I'll shovel it for a while." After a few times, my brother finally got tired of waiting, and lifted the pot that was placed in the middle of the wall and fell to the ground, and the pot broke immediately. At that time, people who had a kettle poured a pot of cold water on the ground and kept it for thirst. The elder brother ran away after falling the kettle, and the father chased after him with a hoe. caught up with the father who dragged him home and beat his brother fat, beating him with a rolling pin, his father beat him for a while, he beat him for a while, he beat him for a long time, and even Lin Hanmei's face was twisted twice, and his father was so distressed about that warm pot. My brother is used to being unkind by his grandmother, he has to listen to him for everything, and if he doesn't listen to him, he will be a man. Since then, Dad has no kettle belt on the ground.
Later that year, it always rained, and then there was a lot of flooding. In front of Lin Hanmei's house is a road, and in front of the road is a big pit, and there is usually a pit of water in the pit, and the water in the big puddle ripples to the road, and the water on the road is deeper. My brother has to wade through the water to go to school, my father has to be busy with work in the fields, and I don't have time to pick up my brother all the time, and my father is afraid that my brother will be in danger, so he transferred my brother to my grandmother's house to go to school.
Later, Lin Hanmei's family moved. And the previous house Dad said that Mom died in it, and Dad hated that house and demolished it.
