Chapter 172: Before School Starts
Lin Hanmei also went back, and her father carried her. Dad said to Lin Hanmei: "That day, so-and-so did an errand in the canteen. Your eldest sister came to drink, and when she saw me, she asked, 'Where's Hanmei?'?" I said, 'Hanmei is in her third aunt's house.'" "At that time, some people would borrow the place of the canteen for happy events, because the canteen was big.
On Lin Hanmei's birthday, Lin Fengjuan came and gave Lin Hanmei a small house as a gift.
One day, Lin Hanmei was playing at the fourth aunt's house, and heard the fourth aunt come back and say that Mr. Xiong from middle school went to the county to get the admission letter back. Lin Hanmei said to her little cousin, "Let's go, let's go to Mr. Xiong's house to get the notice?" The little cousin said, "Let's go." So Lin Hanmei and her little cousin went to Teacher Xiong's house.
Teacher Xiong is not at home, only his wife and children are at home. Lin Hanmei said to his wife, "Let's get the admission letter." His wife then led Lin Hanmei and her little cousin to the room where Mr. Xiong put the bag, and went to the mezzanine of the bag to rummage through it, the notices were all in an envelope, and the name was written on the envelope, and his wife read them one by one, and then said, "There is no yours." When Lin Hanmei heard this, she couldn't help but panic a little and said, "Why don't you have mine?" His wife said, "I don't know." "I went to my bag again and rummaged through it, but it still didn't work. His wife said, "He's going to carry this bag today, and it doesn't have yours." Do you think it? As she spoke, she handed the envelopes containing the admission letters to Lin Hanmei, and Lin Hanmei looked at them one by one, and sure enough, there was no one of her own. So he returned the envelope to her and said, "Thank you." His wife said, "You're welcome." Lin Hanmei said to her little cousin, "Let's go, let's go to school?" The little cousin said, "Yes." Lin Hanmei and her little cousin ran to the school when they left Teacher Xiong's house.
After entering the south corner gate of the school, and running for a while, they ran into Teacher Xiong, they stopped, and Lin Hanmei asked, "Teacher Xiong, why don't you have my admission letter?" Teacher Xiong said, "Let me send you to the cafeteria." Lin Hanmei was overjoyed when she heard this, and said happily: "Thank you, Mr. Xiong!" Then he took his little cousin and ran to the cafeteria.
After entering the cafeteria, Lin Hanmei couldn't wait to ask her father: "Dad, did Mr. Xiong send me an admission letter?" Dad smiled and said, "It's here, isn't this here?" Lin Hanmei hurriedly stepped forward and picked up the envelope and opened it to look at it, feeling a little excited. There is a letter written by the principal to parents, mainly saying that the school cafeteria food is very good, there are vegetables to eat all year round, and the price is cheap, so parents should not let their children go to the snack bar outside to eat. The snack bar is expensive and unhygienic.
There is also a slip with the start date, various expenses, and what to bring.
Let yourself bring luggage, do not need to bring a mattress, and the grass curtain issued by the school uniformly. So the next day, my father went to the fourth aunt's house and took a quilt and a mattress that Lin Hanmei's house put there, and took it to the eldest cousin's house, saying that she would dismantle it and redo it. Because the fourth aunt didn't say to do it.
The third sister, who works in middle school, is also at the eldest cousin's house, and my father told them that the fourth aunt will not do it. The third sister said: "Then she doesn't have a mother, no one does it for her, can she still take the unopened luggage?" Then he said, "I have the woollen mattress that I made when I was in school, and a woolen mat, take it with you, and if you don't need it in the future, just bring it back to me." After a while, the third sister went home with the child in her arms.
The eldest cousin said to Lin Hanmei: "Hanmei, you go to your third sister's house, you say so, you say, 'Third sister, don't you say to lend me the woolen mattress and wool mat, you find it for me, and I will bring it back to you when I finish it later', and she will find it for you." Lin Hanmei went to the third sister's house and told the third sister as her eldest cousin told her, and the third sister really found Lin Hanmei, but she didn't seem to be reluctant. Lin Hanmei didn't care, and went to her eldest cousin's house with her.
The eldest cousin said to Lin Hanmei: "I'll hold the quilt on the kang of your fourth aunt's house later, and I'll see what she says then." Later, the eldest cousin dismantled Lin Hanmei's quilt and mattress and washed it, and the eldest cousin said that she couldn't dry it at home, so she asked Lin Hanmei to take some to the fourth aunt's house with a basin to dry.
So Lin Hanmei took some and put some on the clothesline outside the fourth aunt's house, and the fourth aunt asked her: "Big niece, what are you doing?" Lin Hanmei said: "My aunt's house can't hang it, so I will dry it here." The fourth aunt was very happy when she heard this, and came out with a smile and said, "Your aunt's house can't be dying, come, the fourth aunt will dry it for you." But after she helped Lin Hanmei dry for two, for some reason, she went into the house again, and Lin Hanmei finished the rest by herself.
In the afternoon, the laundry was dry, and the eldest cousin made Lin Hanmei's quilt and mattress. But Lin Hanmei didn't have a quilt, and the eldest cousin washed one of the sixth cousin's quilts and put it on the quilt for Lin Hanmei.
One day later, it was the fifth master's birthday. Many relatives came to the eldest cousin's house, and Lin Hanmei and her family also went. Dad gave him a gift of fifty dollars. The second cousin said that she would make a pair of cotton pants for Lin Hanmei. The sixth cousin is also back.
On the second day of the fifth master's birthday, the sixth cousin led Lin Hanmei and the grandson of the eldest cousin to the county. The grandson of the eldest cousin went to elementary school in the county. The eldest cousin said that it was convenient to ask the sixth cousin to send Lin Hanmei to school.
The night before leaving, Lin Hanmei stayed at the fourth aunt's house. Early the next morning, the eldest cousin came to the fourth aunt's house and gave Lin Hanmei fifty yuan. Lin Hanmei doesn't want it, she has to give it. The fifth master then came to the fourth aunt's house, and also gave Lin Hanmei fifty yuan, Lin Hanmei pushed out, and the fifth master said: "You take it, give the old sixty fifty, give you fifty." Lin Hanmei took it.
After breakfast, the sixth cousin led the eldest cousin's grandson Duoduo to the fourth aunt's house, Lin Hanmei's things had been packed up the day before, the sixth cousin and his father helped Lin Hanmei take the things, and they went to the station together.
Lin Hanmei went to report a day in advance, and some students watched Lin Hanmei go to the car, and they also brought their things to take the car. Lin Hanmei: There are more than 100 students in this class, and only eight of them are admitted to high school.
This year, the rain was particularly heavy, and when the car drove to a place, the driver asked everyone to come down and walk for a while, because the road was washed away by the water. The sixth cousin led Duoduo over first, and after walking over, he stood on the other side of the ditch and waited for Lin Hanmei. In fact, the ditch is not wide, Lin Han deliberately stretched out her arm when she was in the ditch, she wanted to see if the sixth cousin liked her. As she stepped over, the sixth cousin reached out and grabbed her arm. And after stepping over, the sixth cousin didn't let go, and kept pulling her arm to the side of the car, and only let go of his hand when he got into the car.
