Chapter 22

In the second and third days of junior high school, my grandmother also took Lin Hanmei to the street to watch a big Yangge. On the street, grandma bought Lin Hanmei a string of sugar gourds to eat. After the New Year, I stayed at my grandmother's house for a few days, and my uncle sent Lin Hanmei back to my aunt's house. Because after the fifteenth day of the first month, Lin Hanmei is almost about to start school. I need to go home, my aunt's house is closer to Lin Hanmei's house than my grandmother's house. My uncle also went to my aunt's house for a few days. Since my grandfather's death, basically my aunt and uncle have provided for my uncle's schooling. Auntie is also a mother and sister to her uncle.

My uncle's college is self-funded. When I went to college, my aunt and uncle wanted to ask several uncles to give 1,000 yuan each, and the rest of the aunts would go out. The eldest uncle found the eldest aunt, the eldest aunt was quite happy, and did not let her family out, the eldest aunt is very good at being a person, and said to the eldest uncle: "Brother-in-law, then I will take it all?" The eldest uncle said, "No, you can take a thousand, see if those families take it, if you don't take it, I will return the thousand to you." So my uncle's family took a thousand. The eldest uncle found the third uncle, and the third uncle said with an ugly face: "Go home and sell the house." The aunt said, "Isn't your daughter-in-law allowed to divorce you if you sell the house?" The third uncle said: "Divorce is divorce!" "Knock the door and leave. As a result, none of the other uncles' families took any money, only the uncle's family took 1,000 yuan, and the rest was taken by the aunt's family.

When the second uncle finished the New Year, sometimes he went to the aunt's house and said to the aunt: "Second sister, the eldest lady asks you for sugar." "My second uncle has three children, a boy and two girls. The aunt is only okay with the eldest girl, and the other two children, because they don't study well, the aunt doesn't like it very much. As soon as the second uncle said this, the aunt said, "I still keep the sugar for Hanmei." But he also went into the warehouse and got some for the second uncle.

When Lin Hanmei went home, her aunt really gave Lin Hanmei a lot of candy, other delicious food, and clothes. When Lin Hanmei was about to go home, her aunt gave money to the third cousin and asked the third cousin to take Lin Hanmei to the street to buy clothes. Usually, my aunt will also buy clothes for Lin Hanmei. After the eldest cousin got married, she also bought clothes for Lin Hanmei. In this way, Lin Hanmei is the best dressed among the children in the same village.

When the aunt sends the eldest cousin and the eldest cousin-in-law or the third cousin and her boyfriend to send Lin Hanmei back, she also asks them to see Lin Hanmei's fourth grandfather. Lin Hanmei's fourth grandfather is the aunt's fourth uncle. The fourth grandfather lived alone, the fourth grandmother died, and they had no children.

The aunt brought some delicious food to the fourth grandfather, and then some liquor for the fourth grandfather. The aunt muttered while taking things: "I have that uncle left." ”

The aunt said that once the fourth grandfather went to her house for a few days. One morning I got up and went to the bathroom outside, and accidentally locked the door in the house. After the fourth grandfather went to the toilet, he couldn't open the door when he went back to the house, so he called the door and woke up the aunt, because the aunt had insomnia, the fourth grandfather felt that the aunt woke up very unwillingly, and insisted on going back. Auntie still feels sorry when she talks about it.

When sending Lin Hanmei back, Lin Hanmei's house, who arrived first, took down the things given to Lin Hanmei's house, and then Lin Hanmei followed to the fourth grandfather's house, because they couldn't find the fourth grandfather's house. This time, it was Lin Hanmei who came to send it to the third cousin and her boyfriend. There is one thing that I can't tell whether it is for Lin Hanmei's family or for the fourth grandfather's family, Lin Hanmei said it was for the fourth grandfather's family, the third cousin said it was for Lin Hanmei's family, Lin Hanmei was still with the third cousin, and later I remembered that it was really for my own family. Then Lin Hanmei and her third cousin went to the fourth grandfather's house, and Lin Hanmei couldn't find it, she only knew the approximate location, because Lin Hanmei usually didn't go to the fourth grandfather's house. Lin Hanmei asked her father for the specific location, and then took her third cousin and they went. The fourth grandfather was very happy to see someone come to see him and bring delicious food. The third cousin said to the fourth grandfather, "Fourth grandfather, my mother asked me to come and see you." The fourth grandfather smiled and said, "Is your mother still worried about me?" After reading the fourth grandfather and the third cousin, they went back.

After Lin Hanmei went home, she brought some candy to see Song Jiaqing and gave Song Jiaqing a few pieces of sugar. Song Jiaqing was very happy, with sugar in her mouth, Lin Hanmei said a word, she repeated a sentence, and laughed, at the beginning, Lin Hanmei didn't say why Song Jiaqing laughed, she thought she was laughing at herself, and then she wanted to be white, it turned out that her laughter was to please herself.

After the New Year, relatives will also come to Lin Hanmei's house to visit, Lin Hanmei's family is doing well, what the relatives want is to walk around, and borrow some money in case of emergency in the future. Relatives came, buying candy for Lin Hanmei and her brother, trough cakes, cow tongue cakes, and canned food for grandma.

School started in a few days, and after the start of school, Lin Hanmei's studies are getting better and better. Song Jiaqing's father nailed a small blackboard with nails on the wall of his house, saying that it was a blackboard, but in fact, the small board was yellow for Song Jiaqing to study. Once, Lin Hanmei went to Song Jiaqing to play, Song Jiaqing took many questions for Lin Hanmei, and Lin Hanmei answered them all. Then Song Jiaqing asked Lin Hanmei to turn her back, find a very difficult exercise from the language book, copy it on the small blackboard, and let Lin Hanmei answer. Lin Hanmei looked at it, and then "brushed" and wrote the answer with chalk. Song Jiaqing showed an envious expression on his face.

But once, the third uncle came to Lin Hanmei's house to help Lin Hanmei's family do farm work, and when he saw Lin Hanmei's language book, he picked it up and read it. The third uncle read while watching, and read the lesson "Kitten Breeding Fish". After reading it, the third uncle asked Lin Hanmei if the kitten could grow fish, but Lin Hanmei didn't know. At that time, I hadn't learned this lesson, but in fact, Lin Hanmei thought that kittens could grow fish.

The aunt also bought a lot of pencils and notebooks for Lin Hanmei. The pencils are all tied one by one, 10 each, some with erasers and some without erasers. Lin Hanmei couldn't use up so many pencils, so she sold them to nearby children. Whoever came to Lin Hanmei's house to write homework or come to Lin Hanmei's house to play, Lin Hanmei told people: "I sell pencils." The children asked, "How do you sell it?" Lin Hanmei said: "One dime without eraser, one dime and two dime with eraser, and the price of the store." Once Duan Licui was doing homework at Lin Hanmei's house, she bought a pencil with an eraser from Lin Hanmei and gave Lin Hanmei a dime and two cents.

When Dad is not busy, Lin Hanmei has a holiday on Sunday, and Dad likes to take Lin Hanmei to the supply and marketing cooperatives in Dongtou. Dad was standing in the supply and marketing cooperative, chatting with the people selling goods at the counter, and Lin Hanmei was listening to it. Dad often talked and talked, so he took out the money in his pocket to show off, at that time the money was generally ten yuan a piece, Dad took out a wad of money, fell on his hand and said: "You see how neat my money is, and I press it with a roller at home!" And the seller looked envious. In the supply and marketing cooperative, her father asked Lin Hanmei what she wanted to eat, and Lin Hanmei didn't dare to say what she wanted to eat because she had strangers, so she said she wouldn't eat anything. When Dad led Lin Hanmei out of the supply and marketing cooperative, and when she walked around the corner, Lin Hanmei said, "Dad, I want to eat flatbread." Dad said, "I want to eat flatbread, why didn't you just say it?" Let's go. So he took Lin Hanmei back to the supply and marketing cooperatives and bought a flatbread for Lin Hanmei.
