Unknowingly, the midterm exam arrived, Lin Hanmei usually studied very well, but she didn't do well in the midterm exam, and she only scored more than 60 points in mathematics, Teacher Yang said that Lin Hanmei was sloppy. I scored about 50 points in the Chinese test.

Mr. Yang also brought a lot of awards from his grocery store to the students who did well in the exam. Lin Hanmei has a classmate named Lu Xiuxiu in their class, who scored more than 80 points in the mathematics test, and Teacher Yang gave a notebook, which made Lin Hanmei envious.

Lin Hanmei has known Lu Xiuxiu for a long time. Lu Xiuxiu's family and Lin Hanmei's mother's family are quite close relatives. Lin Hanmei called Lu Xiuxiu's father uncle. The first adult to find out that Lin Hanmei's mother had passed away was Lu Xiuxiu's mother. Lin Hanmei also often played with Lu Xiuxiu when she was a child. Lu Xiuxiu's family has seven brothers and sisters, she has five sisters and one brother, she is ranked seventh, and her nickname is Lu Laoqi.

Lu Laoqi usually doesn't study well, that time the blind cat met a dead mouse, got a high score, got a book, and was so beautiful that he didn't want it. Go home and show off. Lin Hanmei's brother and Lu Laoqi's brother are very good, sometimes they go to his house to play, and when they see that Lu Laoqi has a book, they go home to learn to speak, and ask Lu Laoqi how much she has typed in Chinese, she said that she forgot, in fact, she only scored more than 20 points in Chinese. Lin Hanmei's father saw that someone else had a book, so he asked Lin Hanmei: "Don't you get it?" Lin Hanmei bowed her head embarrassedly and said, "No." "Actually, there weren't many people who got Ben that time. When Mr. Yang gave Lu Xiuxiu a book, he said regretfully: "Lin Hanmei usually learns very well, but she is just sloppy, or do you also have a book?" ”

Teacher Yang usually prefers Lin Hanmei, because Lin Hanmei studies well, and teachers seem to favor students who study well. Only occasionally scolded Lin Hanmei. Once, when he said that he was going to come down to check the lesson plan, Mr. Yang was busy making up the lesson plan. It was winter at the time, and after two meals in the countryside, Lin Hanmei brought some cold water cakes, which were cakes that were not oiled when they were baked. Teacher Yang was busy making up the lesson plan, and he didn't care about looking up and managing the students, so Lin Hanmei pulled a piece of cake and put it in her mouth, and immediately a boy complained: "Teacher Yang, Lin Hanmei eats." "Elementary school students, especially first-grade students, are very fond of complaining. Teacher Yang scolded Lin Hanmei for being in a hurry to make up the lesson plan. Lin Hanmei was angry, and Teacher Yang was busy and didn't find out. The next day, I heard that I didn't come to check the lesson plan, so Teacher Yang relaxed, only to find that Lin Hanmei was angry, and asked Lin Hanmei with concern. Lin Hanmei saw that Teacher Yang had a good attitude, so she was not angry with Teacher Yang.

At that time, my grandmother and father got up very early every morning to cook, and when they were ready, they asked Lin Hanmei and my brother to get up to eat. After eating, Lin Hanmei wanted to go to school, but her father didn't let Lin Hanmei go, saying that it was too early. At that time, there was no clock at home. Lin Hanmei thought: Why did you get up so early? After staying at home for a while, Lin Hanmei went to find Song Jiaqing to go to school, and Song Jiaqing was often eating breakfast. Song Jiaqing's mother always sighed: "Why is Lin Hanmei's family dinner so early? Lin Hanmei thought: I've been at home for a while.

At that time, the parents of rural children did not send them to school, but they all walked with companions or by themselves, no matter how far away from the school.

Sometimes if Song Jiaqing just got up to wash his face, or Song Jiaqing's mother hadn't cooked yet, Song Jiaqing would also let Lin Hanmei go first.

Once Lin Hanmei went first, usually Lin Hanmei and Song Jiaqing walked from the north road, and the north road was close. Because of the rain that day, the north road was muddy, Lin Hanmei walked from the south road, and the south road was a big road, so it was easier to walk. When she was almost at school, Lin Hanmei saw a little boy standing in the aisle outside a home, five or six years old, who looked very good-looking. Lin Hanmei stepped forward and touched the little boy's head and said, "This kid is very good-looking!" "I didn't expect the little boy to be very evil, he hit Lin Hanmei when he came up, the little boy was still very strong, Lin Hanmei couldn't beat him, and then the little boy beat Lin Hanmei to cry. In the future, every time Lin Hanmei walked alone from the South Road and met a little boy, the little boy would beat Lin Hanmei, and it was strange, every time Lin Hanmei walked alone from the South Road, she could meet the little boy. Lin Hanmei was scared every time she walked alone from Nandao. Once the little boy was beating Lin Hanmei, and the principal was walking from Nandao on the day he went to school, and he saw it when he passed by, and said, "Whose child is not interested in beating people!" "Scared the little boy so much that he ran home.

If she goes with Song Jiaqing, Lin Hanmei will not be afraid, because Song Jiaqing can beat the little boy. Every time Lin Hanmei and Song Jiaqing walked from the South Road together, the little boy saw that Lin Hanmei was going to fight again, Song Jiaqing was very powerful, and he could beat the little boy to the ground. The little boy didn't dare to hit Lin Hanmei when he saw Song Jiaqing and Lin Hanmei walking together. Once, Lin Hanmei and Song Jiaqing walked from the south road again, and when they were about to arrive at the little boy's house, Song Jiaqing asked Lin Hanmei to go first, she hid in a home, when Lin Hanmei walked to the side of the little boy's home, the little boy saw that Lin Hanmei was alone, and he wanted to come up to beat Lin Hanmei again, Song Jiaqing hurriedly ran over from the hiding place and beat the little boy again, Lin Hanmei was really happy.

Lin Hanmei sometimes pestered her grandmother to tell stories, and her grandmother told a story about a son who was not filial: she said that there was a son who lived with her old mother, and she thought that the old mother had lived too long and wanted to kill the old mother. The old mother knew and told the neighbor, the neighbor gave the old mother a trick, let the old mother put a gourd on the pillow when it was dark, the old mother did what she said, put a gourd on the pillow while it was dark, and hid outside to watch, her son really took a kitchen knife into the house, called a few "Mom" no one answered, thought the old mother was asleep, took the kitchen knife to the pillow and cut it, "clang" a gourd fell on the ground, the son thought that the mother's head fell to the ground, and ran away in fright.

Grandma also told a story: There is also a family, the children and grandchildren are not filial, and an old lady has no one to support. The people came up with an idea for the old lady to sew a small cloth bag, which was filled with stones and tied to her mouth. Then lock the small cloth bag in the box. When the children and grandchildren came, they pretended to open the box inadvertently, and accidentally touched the small cloth bag, and the children and grandchildren heard the noise and asked the old lady what was in the small cloth bag, and the old lady said mysteriously that it was the gold given by the old man in the family in the early years. As soon as the children and grandchildren heard that the old lady had gold, they all competed for the old lady, and they all wanted to get the old lady's gold. After the old lady died, the children and grandchildren couldn't wait to open the box and see that the small cloth bag contained a bag of stones.

The two stories told by grandma made Lin Hanmei white, and she had to be filial.
