Lin Hanmei's grandmother and father like her aunt very much, because her aunt has a good personality. The aunt is chubby and often smiling.

For a while, my father was busy shoveling the ground and sent Lin Hanmei to my aunt's house for a while. At that time, my grandmother had not yet come to Lin Hanmei's house. There is a big black horse in my aunt's house, sometimes Lin Hanmei and her second cousin go to herd the horse together, Lin Hanmei and the second cousin sit on horseback, the horse is leisurely eating grass in the woods, Lin Han is beautiful and comfortable.

The eldest uncle is a smiling old man, he often puts his hand behind his head in front of Lin Hanmei, Lin Hanmei is scared away, he scratches his head with his hand and pretends to smile innocently and says, "I'm scratching my head, what are you running?" Lin Hanmei said, "I thought you were going to beat me." He was even more innocent: "I'll just scratch my head, who is going to hit you." Lin Hanmei knew that her eldest uncle was teasing herself.

My uncle likes to drink a little wine. Once the eldest uncle went to Lin Hanmei's house, and the elder brother poured wine for the eldest uncle, and the eldest uncle was very happy and said to the elder brother: "I will give you five pens in the future." When Lin Hanmei saw it, she also went up to pour wine for her eldest uncle, who was very happy and said to Lin Hanmei: "I'll give you two pens in the future." Lin Hanmei and her brother were overjoyed. His eldest cousin went to junior high school and had a lot of fountain pens. There weren't many people who went to junior high school at that time. When Lin Hanmei went to her aunt's house, her eldest cousin was already married and moved far away.

Sometimes the fourth cousin would take Lin Hanmei to pick mushrooms in the woods. Once the fourth cousin asked Lin Hanmei to walk along a path in the woods to pick mushrooms, Lin Hanmei wanted to go to the grass next to her to see if there were any mushrooms, but the fourth cousin didn't let her, so she let Lin Hanmei walk on that path, Lin Hanmei thought that the fourth cousin asked her to pick mushrooms on that path, and thought: Where are there mushrooms on the road? As a result, Lin Hanmei walked along the road and only picked four mushrooms, which were picked on the grass next to her. Lin Hanmei also saw something similar to a statue at the head of the woods, and was so frightened that she ran back to her fourth cousin along the path, telling her fourth cousin that she was so scared because she saw a strange thing. The fourth cousin was very angry when she saw that Lin Hanmei had only picked four mushrooms, and said to Lin Hanmei angrily: "After walking so far, just pick so much, you should be scared to death!" ”

The aunt touches the chickens, ducklings, and geese by herself. It is to put eggs, duck eggs, and goose eggs on the kang, and cover them with quilts, sometimes the aunt lifts the temperature of the eggs, duck eggs, and goose eggs, and when it feels hot, she opens the quilt and dries for a while, and sometimes she takes the egg to the sun and looks at the egg with her eyes together. After a while, chickens, ducklings, and geese popped out of the eggshell. Of course, some eggs can't jump out of the eggs for two reasons: one is that chickens, ducklings, and geese are not formed at all, and such eggs are widows; There is also a kind of formation that does not come out, and may have been flashed to death, that is, it has been dried for a long time. Both kinds of eggs were given to the children, and the children put the eggs in the pit and burned them to eat.

Lin Hanmei likes the second egg the most, because you can eat meat, and the first egg is not much different from ordinary eggs, that is, it tastes harder than ordinary eggs, but it is better than nothing. Once they burned a second kind of egg, and the fourth cousin wanted to spoil Lin Hanmei, so they said to Lin Hanmei: "The internal organs can also be eaten." Lin Hanmei thought she could really eat it, and was about to eat it, but her aunt saw it and hurriedly said, "Hey! Offal cannot be eaten. Then Lin Hanmei didn't eat. The aunt was angry and cried, and said to the fourth cousin: "She is so young, why are you bullying her?" From then on, the four cousins didn't dare to bully Lin Hanmei, saying: "You can't bully Hanmei, or your mother should cry." Later, Dad finished shoveling the ground and went to pick up Lin Hanmei, and Lin Hanmei went home with her father.

Dad sometimes takes Lin Hanmei to Li Yulin's house. Li Yulin is an old man, his wife died, he lived with his son, his daughter-in-law ran away, and he has two grandchildren. Li Yulin's family will deduct mulch in the ground in the spring to plant beans, such beans come down early, can be sold at a good price, and their own family can also eat beans early. Dad always told Lin Hanmei when he was going to take Lin Hanmei to Li Yulin's house that if Li Yulin's family asked her to eat, don't eat it, Dad said that his house was very dirty. So my father took Lin Hanmei to Li Yulin's house, if he caught up with his stewed beans, Li Yulin tried hard to let Lin Hanmei eat it, but Lin Hanmei didn't eat it. The beans are stewed with potato cubes, and Li Yulin's little grandson always cheers when he finds a bean: "Find another piece of meat!" ”

Li Yulin's house also has a TV. At that time, there were few households on a team that had TVs, and Lin Hanmei and their team only had Li Yulin's family. The TV is a 14-inch Panda, black and white. Many people go to Li Yulin's house to watch TV, and when there are many people, they can row from the inner room to the outhouse, and the kang and the ground are densely packed with people, and even the threshold is full of people. The scene was spectacular.

When grandma didn't come to Lin Hanmei's house, she still worked in the fields, but after she came to Lin Hanmei's house, her father didn't let grandma work in the fields, saying that grandma was old. Grandma was in her early 60s when she went to Lin Hanmei's house. So grandma cooks at home, washes clothes, makes cotton clothes for Lin Hanmei and them, no need to make shoes, Lin Hanmei's shoes have been made by aunts since childhood, Lin Hanmei's mother can't make shoes, and the shoes that are made most are the third and fourth aunts, and the other aunts don't seem to have done it.

Lin Hanmei wore shoes when she was a child, and some people often praised Lin Hanmei's shoes for their good looks, and asked Lin Hanmei: "Who made the shoes for you?" Lin Hanmei often said proudly: "My fourth aunt did it." Or: "My third aunt did it." "At that time, it was necessary to take the soles of shoes to make shoes, and it was very troublesome to get the soles. The third and fourth aunts have to make shoes for their own families, and they also have to make shoes for Lin Hanmei and their family, which is really hard.

When Lin Hanmei was a child, she couldn't tell the left and right feet of shoes when she wore shoes, and she often asked adults if they were wearing them correctly when she finished wearing them.

Grandma only planted beets for my father, and when the beets were finished in the fall, I went to the field to help my father peel beet cherry blossoms. The beets are about the same size as mustard greens, and there are also a handful of cherry blossoms growing on them, so you have to use a kitchen knife to cut off the beet cherry blossoms and cut the beet head to a sharp point.

Dad often worries: when will I finish cutting so many beet lumps? Dad called beet pimple a pimple. At this time, my grandmother went to the field to help my father cut it. But Dad didn't grow sugar beets very often.

Some people like to eat beet cherry blossoms, and when the beet cherry blossoms are dried, the green leaves turn brown. When eating, soak it in boiling water and then dip it in the sauce to eat. Lin Hanmei doesn't like to eat it, and thinks that beet cherry blossoms taste weird, and the sweetness is not serious sweet.

When my grandmother came, she started planting the garden.

Grandma also raised a pig every year, and every winter when the weather was so cold that she could freeze the meat, Dad would kill the pig, and not sell a pound of meat, except for a little for each aunt, and eat the rest. Dad said that grandma was so old, it was not easy to raise a pig, so the meat would not be sold, and all of it would be eaten.
