Chapter 34
This year, after the winter vacation, Lin Hanmei stayed at home for a few days, and then went to her aunt's house again.
Dad didn't want to send Lin Hanmei, he wanted his brother to send Lin Hanmei. Dad probably felt guilty because of his mother's death, and he was embarrassed to go to his aunt's house. Dad asked Lin Hanmei: "Old son, can you find it when you arrive?" Because every time Lin Hanmei and her father go, as soon as the bus stopped, Lin Hanmei and her father got out of the car, walked a short distance to the south, and then walked a little further east, and then saw the aunt's house. So Lin Han said confidently: "I can find it." Dad said, "If you can find your brother to send you there, Dad won't go." ”
Dad sent Lin Hanmei and her brother to the station, and before getting on the train, Dad asked Lin Hanmei if she could find it, because after the aunt's family moved, my brother had not been to my aunt's house. Lin Hanmei still said that she could find it. So my father asked my brother to send Lin Hanmei to my aunt's house.
In the car, the attendant saw that Lin Hanmei and her brother were children, and they didn't let them buy tickets. After getting out of the car, my brother happily said to Lin Hanmei: "Take a trip for nothing." ”
After getting off the bus, Lin Hanmei walked south first as she used to do every time she got off the bus, and when she saw the street to the east, she turned around and walked east. I went east for a while and saw my aunt's house, but this time I walked for a long time and didn't see my aunt's house, and finally Lin Hanmei and her brother finished that street and never saw my aunt's house.
The elder brother asked Lin Hanmei if he could find it, and Lin Hanmei said that she had left like this before. So Lin Hanmei and her brother searched for it on the street, and after a while, Lin Hanmei said that this street is, but it is not when she walks. After a while, Lin Hanmei said that person was the third cousin, because the coat she was wearing was the same as the third cousin's coat.
Lin Hanmei and her brother searched the street like this for a day, but they never found their aunt's house. In the evening, my brother walked into a courtyard, and Lin Hanmei asked, "Brother, where are we going?" The elder brother said in a bad tone: "Stay in the hotel, go home on a cloudy day." So Lin Hanmei and her brother walked into a hotel.
When the innkeeper saw the two children coming in, they asked them who they were looking for, and the elder brother said, "Stay in the hotel." The people at the inn asked them why the two children came to stay at the hotel, and they told them that they came to my aunt's house, but they couldn't find it, so they came to stay at the hotel. The people at the hotel asked if they knew the phone number of the aunt's house, and Lin Hanmei knew and told them. So the hotel people called my aunt's house, and my aunt answered it, and the hotel people said that there were two children who were going to your house, but they didn't find it, and they are now in my hotel. The aunt said to let Lin Hanmei answer the phone, Lin Hanmei answered the phone and said a few words to the aunt, and the aunt saw that it was really Lin Hanmei, so she asked Lin Hanmei to give the phone to the hotel again. The aunt asked for the address of the hotel, thanked the people at the hotel, said that she would pick them up immediately, and hung up the phone.
Lin Hanmei and her brother also thanked the people at the hotel. The people at the inn said that some couples quarreled and went to her house to stay in the hotel, and they were persuaded to go back. Not to mention two children.
After a while, the aunt's father-in-law, who is the uncle, came to pick up Lin Hanmei and the others, and the uncle went into the house to thank the people at the hotel and took them away.
When they arrived on the street, the uncle hired an electric tricycle, and when the electric tricycle pulled the three of them to the door of the aunt's house, the uncle smiled and said, "Lin Hanmei, you can't find it here." When she got to the house, the aunt also smiled and said, "Hanmei, can't you find the aunt's house?" ”
My uncle went to school in Beijing this year, and I heard that he would come back in two days. As soon as the eldest uncle returned, the eldest aunt's family did not have a place for the elder brother to live, so the elder brother stayed at the eldest aunt's house for two days and then went home. Lin Hanmei continued to stay at her aunt's house.
Xiao Panyu is three years old. He likes to play with Lin Hanmei very much, and calls Lin Hanmei "Auntie." ”
One day Lin Hanmei was washing clothes, Xiao Panyu was also beside her, Lin Hanmei didn't know what to go into the house to get, and when she came out, Xiao Panyu put a lot of laundry detergent in the basin where she washed her clothes, and she was washing it there. Lin Hanmei said anxiously: "Put so much laundry detergent, do you want me to live?" Xiao Panyu said, "Auntie, I want you to live." ”
In the winter of this year, preparations began for the marriage of my eldest cousin. When the day came, the eldest cousin got married.
On the day of the eldest cousin's wedding, many relatives came to drink, and the fourth aunt also came. Later, the fourth aunt went to the second uncle's house, took Lin Hanmei with her, and left Lin Hanmei at the second uncle's house when she left. Later, Lin Hanmei heard that it was the aunt's meaning, and said that she was afraid that Lin Hanmei and Pan Yu would fight.
So Lin Hanmei stayed at her second uncle's house. The second aunt is chubby, and they have three children: a boy and two girls. They live in a rented house for twenty dollars a month.
Lin Hanmei was at the second uncle's house, and the second uncle sometimes said to Lin Hanmei: "Your aunt's family has a daughter-in-law this time, so I will ignore you, and when the time comes, you will go home by yourself after staying here, and don't go to other people's houses in the future." Lin Hanmei had no choice but to listen.
The second uncle's house is rented from the old Mrs. Guo next door. Mrs. Guo often goes to her second uncle's house, and she likes Lin Hanmei very much, saying that she wants to recognize Lin Hanmei as a godgirl. The second aunt and aunt all pleaded with Lin Hanmei, saying that Mrs. Guo was very rich, but Lin Hanmei was unwilling.
One day, Mrs. Guo came again. Lin Hanmei was nibbling on frozen pears with a towel. When Mrs. Guo saw it, she said, "Dry girl, what about gnawing on frozen pears?" Lin Hanmei dropped the towel and said unhappily: "Who is your godgirl?" It's quite old and a few old ladies, why don't you know it? Mrs. Guo was immediately a little confused, stayed for a while and then went back.
After Mrs. Guo left, the second uncle told Lin Hanmei and said, "Hanmei, Lao Guo, your aunt is so old, how can you say that about her?" The next time she comes, you have to apologize to her. "Lin Hanmei said she cried.
Next time, when Mrs. Guo came, Lin Hanmei apologized to her, and Mrs. Guo was happy and forgave Lin Hanmei.
Sometimes the second uncle would ride his bicycle to his aunt's house, and when he came back, he would often bring apples with him. But the second uncle didn't give it food, and they were all locked in a small box. Unless the second uncle came back with the apples, the eldest cousin saw it and asked the second uncle for two, eat one for himself, and give one to Lin Hanmei, so that Lin Hanmei could eat one, otherwise he couldn't eat it. Later, Lin Hanmei learned that in fact, those apples were originally brought by her aunt.
This year, Lin Hanmei also spent it at her second uncle's house. After the New Year, it was the fifteenth day of the first month in a blink of an eye. I heard that there were ice lanterns in the street on the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and Lin Hanmei began to look forward to it early.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, after dinner, Lin Hanmei went to the street with the eldest cousin of the second uncle's family, the third cousin, and a large group of neighbors around him.
When we walked from home, everyone also said that they should follow each other and not get separated. But when I walked into the street, there were so many people that everyone was immediately dispersed. The eldest cousin lay on Lin Hanmei's shoulder, crossed her hands on Lin Hanmei's chest, and hugged Lin Hanmei tightly, so that Lin Hanmei and the eldest cousin were not separated.
The street was so lively, the ice lanterns were so beautiful, Lin Hanmei and her eldest cousin watched it with great interest for a while before they walked back.
On the way back, something happened.
