Chapter 163: Going to a relative's house for the New Year
So every day when I returned to the cafeteria after school, I finished my homework in other subjects, and when I was fine, Lin Hanmei took out her physics book to read. My brother once mailed Lin Hanmei back a math workbook and a physics workbook, but Lin Hanmei didn't do anything, it felt too difficult. Now, Lin Hanmei found the physics workbook and tried to do it, and when she encountered a place where she couldn't do it, she turned the book, and slowly found that it was not so difficult, and she was addicted to it. Many of the answers can be matched with those given later.
Due to the winter vacation, there are three or four tables in the cafeteria, and my eldest cousin and uncle have several school teachers, as well as elementary school teachers and people from the community who always come to the school to play mahjong. They fought all day during the day and at night until eight or nine o'clock before they dispersed. When playing mahjong, it was very noisy, and the sound of talking and shuffling cards was very noisy, so Lin Hanmei studied without distraction on the table next to her.
There are also people who don't play mahjong, just to see the excitement, and the sixth cousin is. Since the sixth cousin often came to the cafeteria, Lin Hanmei had more contact with him, and found that she liked him a little. Probably because he's pretty handsome. Lin Hanmei remained silent, only silently liking him in her heart.
Sometimes after dinner, he came to see the mahjong early, and his father happened to be away from the house, so he went to the warehouse to get coal. Dad often went to the warehouse to get coal at that time, and my brother was often at the fourth aunt's house. Lin Hanmei was the only one left in the cafeteria, and if she heard the footsteps of her sixth cousin, she would lie down on the kang and pretend to be asleep, because she didn't know how she should face her sixth cousin alone. pretended to be asleep until her father came back, and after talking to her sixth cousin for a while, Lin Hanmei pretended to wake up quietly. At this time, the sixth cousin usually asks: "Sister, are you asleep?" Lin Hanmei said yes and went to the table to start studying. When the sixth cousin saw that Lin Hanmei had started studying, he didn't bother her, and sat on the side to talk to his father.
Before the Chinese New Year, Lin Hanmei and they also had a holiday. On the day of the Chinese New Year, Lin Hanmei's brother from an uncle's family who lived in the town came to the canteen to find Lin Hanmei and they went to his house to celebrate the New Year. Under the graciousness, his father asked Lin Hanmei to go with the brother first, saying that he and his brother would go later. So Lin Hanmei and that brother went to their house. Their house was a two-room earthen house, and on the floor was a long rectangular container of iron with prepared frozen seeds. Their family set up a stall in the town to sell frozen seeds.
His sister-in-law also went to sell frozen seeds this morning, and he said that he had a boy in his family, but he was not at home, but at his parents' house, and his parents' house was in another town.
Stayed at his house for a while, they didn't have a TV in their house, nothing fun. He started cooking, and Lin Hanmei helped light the fire. When the meal was ready, his sister-in-law also returned. After meeting Lin Hanmei, his sister-in-law asked him why his father and brother didn't come, and he said he would come later. The sister-in-law said, "Then you can go to the school now and find the fourth uncle and them." He said, "Well." "And walked out.
After a while, he came back alone. The sister-in-law asked him, "Fourth uncle, why didn't they come?" He said angrily: "If you don't come, it's so angry, I'll let them say that they won't come at all." The sister-in-law said, "Don't come and pull it down, let's eat." So he put on a kang table and brought all the dishes he had prepared. The sister-in-law said, "Go and cut a piece of jelly." He said, "Don't eat jelly." The sister-in-law said, "Give Hanmei something to eat." He said, "Give it to Hanmei, I don't want to eat it." So he went and cut a piece of jelly and put it on a plate. During the meal, Lin Hanmei specially tasted his frozen seeds and said, "Your frozen seeds are very delicious!" The sister-in-law was very happy to hear this, and said with a smile: "If it is delicious, you can eat more." But he said, "What's so delicious about breaking the jelly, I don't like it anyway." ”
After eating, he played at his house for an afternoon in the afternoon, and his sister-in-law didn't go to the stall in the afternoon, after dinner, Lin Hanmei wanted to go back, he and his sister-in-law tried their best to stay with Lin Hanmei for one night, but Lin Hanmei just didn't agree. He said that he would take Lin Hanmei to the neighbor's house to watch TV later, but Lin Hanmei still didn't do it, and asked him to send him back, he always said for a while, for a while. Lin Hanmei was in a hurry and said, "If you don't send me, I'll go back by myself!" Then he ran outside. The elder brother then also came out of the house and called Lin Hanmei: "Hanmei, you wait for me for a while." Lin Hanmei turned her head and said to him: "Didn't you send me, if you don't send me, I'll go back by myself." He compromised and said, "Send you, send you." ”
On the way back, he also took Lin Hanmei to a grocery store to buy a bag of "Oh Oh Jiajia" milk candy.
When I arrived at the cafeteria, the evening mahjong had already begun, and the sixth cousin was also watching mahjong in the cafeteria. After the elder brother said hello to his father and his sixth cousin, he blamed his father for not going to his house for the New Year, and his father smiled and didn't say anything. With that brother by her side, Lin Hanmei became bolder, and after giving her father a few pieces of sugar, she discussed with the brother: "Let's give the sixth brother a few pieces of sugar?" He said, "Go." So Lin Hanmei took four pieces of candy and walked up to the sixth cousin and said, "Sixth brother, give you sugar." The sixth cousin was sitting on a stool next to the kang, his face facing the kang, and when he heard the words, he said, "You can keep it for yourself." Lin Hanmei said, "Give it to you, sixth brother." He put the sugar on the kang in front of him. Then Lin Hanmei went back to sit and glanced at the sixth cousin, feeling that he seemed to be quite happy.
After staying in the cafeteria for a while, the elder brother may feel that it is not interesting, and said to Lin Hanmei: "Let's go, let's go to my aunt's house." Lin Hanmei said: "Don't go, there are many people in her family." "The fourth cousin's family of three came to my eldest cousin's house for the New Year this year. The elder brother said, "Then let's go to the third sister's house." Lin Hanmei said, "Let's go." So the two of them went to the third sister's house. After staying at the third sister's house for a while, the elder brother said to Lin Hanmei, "Let's go, go to my house again." Lin Hanmei said: "No, I won't go." He walked away a little upset.
After the New Year, my father said that I would let Lin Hanmei go to her eldest cousin's house to have a look. So on the seventh day of the first lunar month, Lin Hanmei took a car to the county. bought two bottles of wine downstairs at the eldest cousin's house, and Lin Hanmei carried them to the eldest cousin's house. The eldest cousin's mother-in-law and Panyu are at home, the eldest cousin and eldest cousin-in-law are at work, and the fifth child is home for the New Year. The eldest cousin's mother-in-law said, "Son, what are you buying alcohol for?" Lin Hanmei said: "It's the New Year, drink." The eldest cousin's mother-in-law said, "Alas, child, you have more than that." "She is a very kind old lady.
The eldest cousin came back from work and saw Lin Hanmei, her mother-in-law told her that Lin Hanmei bought two bottles of wine, and the eldest cousin said to Lin Hanmei with disgust: "What are you buying wine for?" Lin Hanmei still said: "Drink." ”
