Chapter 8

The aunt once tried to correct Lin Hanmei, saying, "You just call me the second aunt, you still have an aunt in our family." But Lin Hanmei still called her aunt, and after a few times, her aunt saw that she couldn't correct it, so she called Lin Hanmei.

At that time, the aunt's family had an aunt and a great uncle, an aunt's father-in-law, and four children, namely the eldest cousin, the third cousin, the eldest cousin and the little cousin, and the eldest uncle had a younger brother, and the children of the eldest aunt's family were ranked together with the children of the eldest aunt's brother's family, with one ranking for girls and one ranking for boys, so the order was like this.

The aunt took Lin Hanmei to the hospital for intravenous drips every day, and Lin Hanmei got better day by day. The eldest uncle often said to Lin Hanmei: "Your father is okay, and he will treat the child." One day when I came back from the hospital after the drip, my aunt's father-in-law, my aunt asked Lin Hanmei to call him uncle, and asked Lin Hanmei: "Did you cry today?" The aunt said, "I didn't cry." But Lin Hanmei remembered that she was crying at the time. The uncle also praised Lin Hanmei: "I didn't cry, it's amazing." "One day in the hospital, the drip was fast, Lin Hanmei felt very cold, shivering with cold, and the aunt hurriedly covered Lin Hanmei with her windbreaker, and she was very distressed. The aunt loves Lin Hanmei very much, because Lin Hanmei is the child born to her favorite sister, and because Lin Hanmei is a girl, the aunt likes girls, and the most important thing is that Lin Hanmei looks very much like her mother, in the words of her aunt: "There is no child who looks like your mother and you?" It's exactly the same. ”

Lin Hanmei heard others say that her mother is very beautiful, Lin Hanmei thinks that her mother is very beautiful, and she is very similar to her mother, so she should also be beautiful. But when I was a child, my father told Lin Hanmei and my brother: "If others ask you if you look good, you will say that you are ordinary people." Lin Hanmei still remembers that when her brother was a child, when others asked you what you looked like, her brother said, "Ordinary people." ”

When the backs of Lin Hanmei's hands were pierced with needles, plus taking medicine, Lin Hanmei was completely better. After that, the aunt didn't let Lin Hanmei go home first, and stayed by her side for a long time.

The aunt let Lin Hanmei sleep next to her every night, and when she got up in the morning, she dressed Lin Hanmei, in fact, Lin Hanmei herself could already wear clothes at that time. One morning Lin Hanmei woke up, and before her aunt woke up, Lin Hanmei got up and put on her clothes. Lin Hanmei thought: I would have dressed myself a long time ago. At that time, my aunt's own children were all older, and Lin Hanmei suddenly had an extra child around her, and my aunt thought that Lin Hanmei was too young and she couldn't do anything.

Once Lin Hanmei was eating cookies, and her aunt and uncle were beside her, and her uncle wanted to tease Lin Hanmei, so he said, "Oh, eat cookies." Lin Hanmei cried, and the aunt coaxed Lin Hanmei to cry for a long time, and the aunt was angry with her uncle, and said heavily: "Gao Maoye!" The eldest uncle said innocently, "I didn't say anything, I just said, "Oh, eat the biscuits, and she cried." Since then, my uncle has not liked Lin Hanmei very much.

Cousins and cousins are still very good to Lin Hanmei. At that time, the eldest cousin went to college in the city where the region was located, and she had a boyfriend, who was her classmate, and her boyfriend would bring a lot of novel candy when she came back, and the third cousin went to a secondary normal school after finishing junior high school, and the eldest cousin went to college in the provincial capital, and the little cousin did not study well and was sent to a sports school by her aunt since she was a child.

Lin Hanmei had a lot of lice on her head, and at that time, people in the countryside had lice, not to mention children, but adults had them. The cousins often took turns to scratch the lice on Lin Hanmei's head, not only the cousins scratched Lin Hanmei, but even the two sisters who often went to the aunt's house also scratched Lin Hanmei. Once the eldest cousin wore a new pair of white pants and asked Lin Hanmei to lie on her lap to scratch lice for Lin Hanmei, Lin Hanmei was comfortably lying on the eldest cousin's lap while eating a very large biscuit, and when the eldest cousin finished catching lice for Lin Hanmei, the eldest cousin saw that her new pants were stained by Lin Hanmei's saliva and biscuit foam, and the eldest cousin didn't say anything, only used her hands to get rid of the biscuit foam. Lin Hanmei remembered that her eldest cousin was still smiling at the time.

The third cousin also has a boyfriend, who was originally in the same school as her, but later broke the school record because of her fast running and was escorted to college. The third cousin sometimes writes love letters to her boyfriend, Lin Hanmei wants to read it, but the third cousin doesn't let her, Lin Hanmei says, "I don't know how to read." The third cousin still didn't let Lin Hanmei see it, and only said, "You can read it when I'm done." Lin Hanmei thought: Show me what you're afraid of? I can't read.

Sometimes the eldest cousin or the little cousin provokes Lin Hanmei, and Lin Hanmei scolds, and she has to scold for a while. At that time, rural children would curse. The eldest cousin and the younger cousin never replied, only playing basketball in the yard. When the aunt came back, the eldest cousin would go to complain and say, "Your niece girl is scolding again." The aunt smiled and said to Lin Hanmei: "Niece girl, don't scold people." Lin Hanmei thought: Well, I can't scold people in the future. It's not right to swear.

The aunt's house also has a color TV, and the only few TVs in Lin Hanmei's village are black and white. At that time, "Journey to the West" was on the air. Lin Hanmei remembered that there was a girl who had a black and white TV at home and asked Lin Hanmei with envy: "Your aunt has a color TV at home, is there any color in the color TV?" Lin Hanmei said ostentatiously: "There are all kinds of colors, but they are fresh." "Then what color clothes does Zhu Bajie wear in "Journey to the West"?" The girl asked again. Lin Hanmei remembered that Zhu Bajie also wore black clothes on the color TV, but in order to make them even more envious, several girls were with Lin Hanmei at that time, Lin Hanmei said: "The green clothes worn by Zhu Bajie" The girl said with a look of annoyance: "The black clothes worn by Zhu Bajie on the black and white TV." Lin Hanmei thought: I know. Zhu Bajie is also wearing black clothes on the color TV, but I won't tell you, anyway, you haven't seen the color TV.

The aunt said to Lin Hanmei: "If your mother is alive, this TV will be given to you." He also said: "Your father blames me for not caring about your family and not letting your family move here, so what about so many families, can't you do it little by little?" "Auntie is talking about when my mother is alive. Saying that, the aunt showed a sad expression on her face.

One day, the fourth aunt came to the aunt's house and saw Lin Hanmei picking up the oranges, not dividing the petals, and eating them directly with her mouth, so she said, "Child, are oranges eaten like that?" Lin Hanmei didn't care, she finished with three or two bites.

At that time, the fourth aunt had just given birth to a child, and the child was full moon, so she took the child back to her parents' house. The fourth aunt and her mother's house live not far from the aunt's house. Sometimes the aunt will send Lin Hanmei to the fourth aunt and her mother's house to stay for a day, and then pick Lin Hanmei back after work in the evening.
