Chapter 23

At that time, the third aunt came to Lin Hanmei's house, and the third aunt came to borrow money, and her family wanted to build a brick house, so she had already bought some bricks. Lin Hanmei because the book said, "At that time, China was like a big piece of fat, and the great powers came to divide it." "Sometimes I whispered, and my father heard it and learned it. The third aunt came to borrow money, and my father said, "I'm like a big piece of fat, and they all want to come to me for a share." The third aunt was very unhappy when she heard this, and said: "Big fat and big lean meat, then you are a big one, who are you looking for if you have something?" If you have it, you can borrow it, and if you don't, pull it down. ”

Later, because the third aunt's family did not borrow enough money, the brick house was not built for the time being, and the third aunt was so small that he was so anxious that he became mentally ill. Lin Hanmei heard that every morning at that time, the third uncle had to pick up a brick, walk for a while, and then throw away the brick. The third uncle also said that his eldest cousin could be the county magistrate. The third uncle was sick for a while, and later a doctor prescribed some medicine, and the third uncle took it, and he was fine. Slowly, his brick house was built.

There is a classmate in Lin Hanmei's class, named Liu Wenxue, who is a boy. Liu Wenwen is in the 2nd team and lives not far from Lin Hanmei's house. Lin Hanmei's father gave Liu Wenxue a nickname, called "Liu Nanbei Head", because Liu Wenxue's head is very irregular. Lin Hanmei's parents all slept their heads when they were young, that is, when the children's brains were still very soft, they let the children lie on their backs and sleep on the back of their heads. Liu Wenxue's mother is not a local and does not sleep on her child's head, so Liu Wenxue's head is long from front to back and concave on both sides. I heard that children who don't sleep on their heads are smart and yin, Liu Wenxue is indeed very smart and yin, he learns mathematics very well, and his reaction is very fast.

Liu Wenxue has an older sister who got married at the age of eighteen and married to Houtun, which is the Tunzi where Lin Hanmei's grandmother lived before. On the day she was about to send away, Lin Hanmei and her group of children gathered outside the gate of her house to watch the excitement, and the man's family actually got a car to pick up their relatives. At that time, four-wheeled vehicles were generally accepted in rural areas, and it was the first time that people were picked up by cars.

The car arrived, stopped outside the courtyard, and the groom got out of the car to pick up the bride and came out with the bride in his arms. When the driver of the car saw that the groom was carrying the bride out, he drove the car away and drove it to the south road, and everyone present laughed, and the groom and the bride couldn't help laughing.

There are people in Tunzi who have a happy event, if Dad goes to drink wedding wine, Lin Hanmei usually takes Lin Hanmei when she doesn't go to school, and after Lin Hanmei goes to school, she will also take Lin Hanmei on vacation, and she doesn't take her brother much.

The people who do the happy event all set up a banquet at home, and the people in the tunzi generally go to eat with five yuan of money. The mat is a running water mat. If the man's family has a happy event, the first seat is to entertain the maiden guest, because the maiden guest has to go back to the maiden house after eating. Next, we will entertain other guests. If the woman's family has a happy event, the people who come to drink the wedding wine will be entertained one by one.

Once my father took Lin Hanmei to Lin Hanmei's uncle's house in the village to drink happy wine, it was Lu Xiuxiu's house, and one of Lu Xiuxiu's sisters got married. Dad said that Lu Xiuxiu's father would marry his daughter as soon as he ran out of money, so that he could get some bride price money to spend. As soon as Dad and Lin Hanmei walked to the gate of Lu Xiuxiu's house, a person saw Dad and said, "Lin Fuhai, are you going to have noodles?" "Dad, because he didn't have a car or horse, he had a lot of trouble making noodles or something, and every time he made noodles or something, he always looked for someone with a car or horse. So Dad hurriedly said, "Go." So Dad said to Lin Hanmei: "Old son, go with the ceremony, Dad will go." Then Dad gave Lin Hanmei five yuan and left with that person.

Lin Hanmei entered the courtyard, found a few children, and found the person who wrote the gift account with them, and asked her to write her father's name with five yuan. Many families should be used for happy events, and neighbors should use it before and after, some of them will be used to write ceremonial accounts, and some of them will be used to set up banquets.

After the ceremony, Lin Hanmei and a few children waited for the banquet. But they haven't eaten for a long time, first the table was full, they couldn't squeeze in, and then they finally squeezed up, and they were pushed down by one of Lu Xiuxiu's sisters, giving Lin Hanmei's place to someone else to sit on, and then being pushed down by the guests again. The guest is the person who sits where when doing a happy event, and such a person generally asks to be able to show up. The other children later finished eating with their parents, but Lin Hanmei didn't eat yet. Lin Hanmei said to the children in annoyance: "I spent five yuan in vain, I knew that I wouldn't be able to eat it, so I wouldn't be courteous." "Lin Hanmei went in the morning, and she didn't have a banquet in the evening. They all said that the uncle was very kind, and there were many people who went, and the uncle would receive a lot of gift money. Later, when the uncle came out, he saw Lin Hanmei playing in the courtyard and asked Lin Hanmei if she had eaten, and Lin Hanmei said with a stinky face: "I didn't eat it." Uncle found a place for Lin Hanmei, and Lin Hanmei had a banquet.

After eating the banquet, Lin Hanmei returned home and saw that her father had come back from the noodles and finished eating at home. Dad asked Lin Hanmei if she had eaten the banquet, and Lin Hanmei told her father what was going on. Dad smiled and said to grandma, "It's a child, you have to eat before you come back, if you are an adult, you will come back if you have nowhere to go." Lin Hanmei also said: "If you don't eat, you won't spend money in vain?" ”

Once, someone had a happy event. The person who did the happy event this time was surnamed Liang, and his nickname was "Little Flower Liang", because he was very cunning. His family lives on the north edge of Dakeng and bought the former house of Lin Hanmei's grandmother's house. The men in their family tread water, and he had a son who drowned while swimming in a big pit, and it was his youngest son who married this time.

Dad also took Lin Hanmei to drink. On the day of the wedding event, his family put a tape recorder on the bucket of a four-wheeled vehicle outside the gate to play Yang Yuying's "Shaking the Sun", and Lin Hanmei listened to it next to her, thinking it was very strange. At that time, there were very few households in the countryside with tape recorders.

The daughter-in-law married by Xiaohualiang's family is extremely uneasy. often plays with her temper, and when she loses her temper, she has to run to her mother's house, and her mother's house is from Qiantun.

One day, Lin Hanmei and a few children were playing in the tree trip on the east side of the school, and saw Xiao Hualiang's daughter-in-law walking along the tree in anger, and Xiao Hualiang's youngest son followed behind. The woman walked and squatted down, and Xiaohualiang's youngest son caught up with her and coaxed her to go back. Lin Hanmei and their group of children watched from the side, and Xiaohualiang's youngest son scolded angrily: "What the? Lin Hanmei and the others left. In fact, Xiaohualiang's youngest son is a very good child and very benevolent.

Later, I heard that the woman drank fly medicine for the most violent time, and died of myrrh, but blinded her eyes. Xiaohualiang's family finally didn't plan to want her anymore and moved away. The woman was taken back to her mother's house by her family.
