Chapter 196: Going to the Third Aunt's House during the Summer Vacation
Lin Hanmei was also very discouraged when she heard her father say this, as if she was really finished.
After staying in the town for a few days, the little cousin of the fourth aunt's family and the eldest cousin of the third aunt's family are on summer vacation. The eldest cousin of the third aunt's family is not in good health, and his family has to ride a bicycle to the countryside in middle school, afraid that he will not be able to bear it, so the third aunt asked him to go to school at the fourth aunt's house. It's summer vacation, the eldest cousin is going home, Lin Hanmei and the little cousin of the fourth aunt's family also want to go to the third aunt's house for a stroll, so they decided to go together, and the elder brother went to the old aunt's house in the provincial capital before. My aunt's family moved to the provincial capital a few years ago.
That afternoon, they decided to go. The eldest cousin of the third aunt's family also saved a few cartons of toothpaste, and he said to Lin Hanmei: "The eldest sister is happy to ask for this carton." Before leaving, Lin Hanmei had lunch at the fourth aunt's house, and then her father came to the fourth aunt's house, gave Lin Hanmei the travel fee, and sent them to the car.
Dad told them that they used to get off the bus in the countryside where Lin Hanmei's house was, and then when they got to the house and asked you to get off the car, you said wait a while, and you will sit in the place. The third aunt's family is between the township and the county seat, and if you talk about the third aunt's family, each person will be charged one more dollar.
So they got into the car, and after the car drove away, the attendant began to collect money and asked them where they were going, Lin Hanmei said the name of the township, the attendant said the amount of money, and Lin Hanmei gave money to the three people.
When the car reached the village street, the conductor said, "Where are the three children?" He searched for his eyes for a while and found it, and said, "XX has arrived, you guys get out of the car." Lin Hanmei said, "Wait a while." So the car drove forward for a while, and when they reached the end of the street, the attendant reminded them to get off again, and Lin Hanmei said, "Wait a while." So they sat down for a while, and the attendant asked them to get off again, and Lin Hanmei said, "Wait a while." The flight attendant said, "Come on, this is XX, I've been sitting for more than half a day." Stop the car. So the car stopped, and Lin Hanmei and the others had to get out of the car. After getting out of the car, it was still a long way from the third aunt's house, and they walked there.
When they arrived at Sangu's house, Sangu's family was very happy to see them. The eldest cousin gave the carton to the eldest cousin, and the eldest cousin was really happy and said to Lin Hanmei: "I am happy to save such a carton." ”
The third uncle likes children very much, that night, Lin Hanmei and they lay down and prepared to sleep, the third uncle said to the third aunt: "Tomorrow you go to the county to buy cloth and make a pair of pants for these children's families, have you listened?" The third aunt said, "Well, ah." But the next day, the third aunt did not go to the county to buy cloth.
Lin Hanmei sometimes messes with her eldest cousin and calls him a "monkey". Because he was skinny and looked like a monkey. When the third aunt heard this, she said to Lin Hanmei: "Don't call it 'monkey', it's not long to call 'monkey' for three days." Lin Hanmei didn't dare to scream.
The third aunt's family planted melons in the ground. The summer vacation is the season when the melons are ripe, and Lin Hanmei and her children often stay in the woods at the south end of the melon field during the day to watch the melons. A shack was also built in the middle of the melon field. When I was hungry, I went to the melon field to find melons to eat.
The eldest cousin told Lin Hanmei that the small melon with the taproot and the deformed melon were particularly sweet, and Lin Hanmei ate it, and sure enough. The eldest cousin also taught Lin Hanmei how to see if the melon was ripe or not, saying that she patted the melon with her hand, and when she heard the sound of "bang bang bang" inside, the melon was ripe.
There is also an animal called "Big Flower Shoes" in the third aunt's house, which looks a bit like a frog. I caught it, put it in the stove pit and burned it, and it tasted great.
After staying for a few days, my brother also came to the third aunt's house. My brother came back to do errands, and when I saw that several older children had come to the third aunt's house, he also came. The elder brother said that he stayed in the provincial capital at his aunt's house. Let's talk about my aunt and say, "Just stay at my house." ”
Lin Hanmei and the little cousin of the fourth aunt's family stayed at the third aunt's house for a few days and were going back. After lunch that day, my brother took them to the painted road outside the village to take a car. But after waiting for a long time without a car, they had to go back to the third aunt's house.
After staying at the third aunt's house for a few more days, my brother went to the provincial capital again. The third aunt asked him to stay at their house, but he didn't do it.
After her brother left, Lin Hanmei and her little cousin stayed at the third aunt's house for a few more days, and they wanted to go back, but the third aunt didn't let them, so they had to stay again. After staying for a few days, they wanted to leave, but the third aunt still refused to let them, and forced them to stay, saying: "Stay for another five days, stay for another five days, let you go back, and don't keep you more." "There was no way, they had to stay again.
After staying for a few more days, they were leaving, and the third aunt was still staying, this time they didn't stay anymore, and insisted on leaving, so the third aunt had to let them go. Before leaving, the third aunt gave each of them twenty yuan, and picked some melons for them to take back.
After breakfast, they went to wait for the car on the paint road outside the village, but after waiting for a long time without a car, they didn't want to go back to the third aunt's house at all, so they decided to walk back. I watched the car while walking, sat when the car came, and walked back if I didn't come to the car.
As they walked forward, they looked back, but the car never came. Walking was boring, the little cousin asked Lin Hanmei if she could sing, and Lin Hanmei said she couldn't sing. Asked if he could sing, he said he would only sing one. Lin Hanmei asked him to sing, he said that he had never sung it to others, and asked Lin Hanmei to promise not to laugh, so he sang. Lin Hanmei promised, so he started singing. He's singing songs about one Saturday, the weather is fine, going out and whatever. Lin Hanmei had never heard anyone else sing before. He said that there was a person in a TV series who sang it, and he learned it from him.
Lin Hanmei thought he sang very funny and couldn't help laughing. The little cousin is embarrassed.
When she walked to the countryside, her little cousin asked Lin Hanmei if she wanted to buy food, but Lin Hanmei was reluctant to pay and said no. The little cousin paid for two steamed buns and handed one to Lin Hanmei, Lin Hanmei was embarrassed to ask for it, and said, "I'm not hungry, you can eat it yourself." The little cousin forced the steamed bun into Lin Hanmei's hand, and Lin Hanmei ate it.
They walked a little further and met a man driving a carriage with a man in it. Lin Hanmei discussed with her little cousin that she wanted to take a carriage for a while. The little cousin said okay, let Lin Hanmei tell others. So Lin Hanmei waved her hand at the man who was driving the carriage, and the man stopped the carriage. Lin Hanmei asked, "Brother, can you pull us for a while?" The man asked them where they were going, and Lin Hanmei lied and said that she went to the village where her family had lived before. The man said, "Come up!" Lin Hanmei and her little cousin thanked the family and hurriedly got into the carriage.
After getting in the car, the man who drove the car asked Lin Hanmei what they were doing in the village. Lin Hanmei said to go to a relative's house. He asked Lin Hanmei who she went to again, and Lin Hanmei said the name of the fourth uncle. The two men said they knew each other, that they were from that village. But Lin Hanmei didn't know the two of them.
Listening to the two of them, it turned out that they were going to sell beans in the county.
