Chapter 94
Then Lin Hanmei heard the eldest cousin in the kitchen say to her cousin: "I have to do this when I think about it when I come back." Lin Hanmei listened to the meaning of her eldest cousin-in-law, and it seemed that she blamed them for not buying clothes for herself, but in fact, Lin Hanmei didn't have a cherry blossom and heard her cousin-in-law call Lin Hanmei in the kitchen: "Hanmei, buy new clothes, come out and let us see." "In the next three rounds, the eldest cousin let Lin Hanmei enter the house because she had to pay.
After Lin Hanmei entered the house, she went back to her house first, and the aunt was sitting in her house at this time, and after the eldest cousin entered her house, the aunt asked, "Did you buy it?" Big cousin: "I bought it, didn't you look at it?" Auntie: "No wow." So the eldest cousin shouted after her cousin-in-law shouted: "Hanmei! Lin Hanmei came out of her house and went to her aunt's house again.
Lin Hanmei thought: This time, the eldest cousin has to feel that she blames her. When she arrived at her aunt's house, her aunt was also very happy to see the clothes and shoes that her eldest cousin bought for Lin Hanmei, and she smiled.
The eldest cousin and sister-in-law also came to see. Big cousin: "Hanmei's cotton shoes made me throw them away." The aunt regretted: "What did you throw it away?" You can still wear it in the winter. The eldest cousin-in-law also: "Then I'll go to Hanmei's house to sweep the floor, the shoes are resting on the ground, I'll pick them up and take a look, it's very serious." The eldest cousin said simply: "Throw it away, I'll throw it in the trash when I leave the mall." Auntie: "Look at you." "Second, the eldest cousin put Ming Chen at home and went to the street.
When she left, she didn't call Lin Hanmei, Lin Hanmei thought that she went to the street to buy what she needed. But after she came back, Haijie of her aunt and sister's family called Lin Hanmei loudly in the kitchen: "Lin Hanmei, come and see, my sister-in-law bought you a dress, it looks good." Lin Hanmei ran to the kitchen, the eldest cousin and Haijie were in the kitchen, Haijie was carrying a dress in both hands, looking back and forth, the eldest cousin was in a good mood and smiling.
Haijie saw Lin Hanmei enter the kitchen, and immediately said to Lin Hanmei: "Lin Hanmei, look!" The clothes that my sister-in-law bought for you, how beautiful they are! Lin Hanmei looked at it, it was a purple velvet top, it was really good-looking, the style of the clothes was very novel: the sleeves were first wide and then narrow, there were two metal buckles at the cuffs, which could be opened or pressed, the front and back of the clothes were with metal beads, with a zipper in the middle, and the lock was also very special, square, the bottom of the clothes was tight, and there was a zipper on the left and right sides of the bottom, which could be pulled on, or opened, and the elastic was adjusted.
Haijie said to Lin Hanmei: "You try." So I went into the house where the uncle lived, Lin Hanmei put it on and tried it, it was just right, and the eldest cousin helped Lin Hanmei try it on the side, and told Lin Hanmei about the function of the zipper and cuffs of this dress.
Lin Hanmei was of course happy to get the new clothes, but she was also a little guilty. Because the eldest cousin's family is now almost the eldest cousin making money, the eldest cousin is not working, and the original unit only gives her a very small salary.
They also have a child at home, and the eldest cousin attaches great importance to his education, so it costs a lot of money to buy books for him.
Lin Hanmei saw that her eldest cousin was usually very provincial, and she was reluctant to buy anything. Once, Lin Hanmei saw her eldest cousin wearing a pair of black pants and thought it looked good, so she said to her eldest cousin: "Sister-in-law, your pants are very good-looking." Sister-in-law: "These pants were made when I was not married at home, and it only cost 14 yuan to make them." I'm thinking about what to wear here, or where to wear it. Lin Hanmei thought: The eldest cousin is really saving, and she still wears pants for 14 yuan.
After trying on the clothes, Lin Hanmei said to her eldest cousin: "Sister-in-law, you don't need to buy me clothes." Sister-in-law: "It's fine." He said to Haijie again: "It's okay to buy clothes for Hanmei, I'll buy one myself." "It turned out that the eldest cousin bought a white underwear, which was high-necked, made of beautiful white yarn, which looked very high-end, and there were places at the neckline that were transparent and beautiful.
Lin Hanmei asked the eldest cousin how much she bought, and the eldest cousin was thirty-five yuan. And Lin Hanmei's clothes cost fifty yuan.
When the eldest uncle came back, he saw Lin Hanmei wearing a new woolen sweater and new pants, and asked Lin Hanmei who bought her clothes, Lin Hanmei: "My eldest sister." "The eldest uncle was nothing after hearing this.
Lin Hanmei felt that when she came to her aunt's house this time, her aunt's attitude towards her had changed a lot. The eldest uncle used to seem to be very annoying to himself, and rarely took the initiative to talk to him, but now he has changed.
The third cousin and sister-in-law didn't buy anything for Lin Hanmei before the New Year. The third cousin's family conditions are not very good, and she also has a child to raise.
My cousin and sister-in-law work very well, and they just got married, the child has not yet been born, and they are quite rich, but Lin Hanmei feels that her cousin-in-law is a little picky, and Lin Hanmei feels that she doesn't like herself very much.
Because my cousin is smart, she is a little tall and has a strong personality, not as good as the eldest cousin's personality, and she is not as easy to get along with as her eldest cousin.
Lin Hanmei still prefers her eldest cousin. Soon it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and the eldest uncle's family had a tradition of spending the New Year together.
So on Chinese New Year's Eve, the eldest uncle's younger brother's family and the younger sister's family all came to the aunt's house for the New Year, and the aunt's family, in addition to the aunt, the eldest uncle and the uncle, there is also the eldest cousin's family, the cousin's family, the eldest cousin's family plus Lin Hanmei, so lively.
When it was white, the third cousin took the opportunity to buy things for her family and secretly ran back to her aunt's house, and as soon as she entered the house, the aunt smiled: "Old girl, why are you back today?" Third cousin: "They asked me to come out to buy something, so I sneaked back." After staying for a while, the third cousin gave the uncle two hundred yuan and left in a hurry.
Before the Spring Festival Gala started in the evening, the eldest uncle's sister and sister-in-law called Lin Hanmei in the kitchen, after Lin Hanmei went, they gave Lin Hanmei fifty yuan, Lin Hanmei refused, their attitude was not very good and asked Lin Hanmei to accept it quickly, so Lin Hanmei had to accept it.
Lin Hanmei felt that they didn't really want to give themselves money, but they had to give it for the sake of their aunt's face, and they were not very reluctant to give it.
Especially the eldest uncle's sister, she seems to have a lot of opinions about Lin Hanmei coming to her aunt's house to go to school, but it is just because of her aunt's face, so it is not good.
When watching the Spring Festival Gala, Lin Hanmei sat next to her aunt and watched it. Originally, her cousin-in-law was also sitting next to her aunt, but Lin Hanmei was a little jealous, and moved from time to time to push her, she felt it, so she went to sit next to her cousin on the stool on the ground.
The aunt asked her why she didn't sit on the bed anymore, and she smiled and was nothing. The eldest cousin once asked her aunt Lin Hanmei if she was too happy to sit next to her, if she was uncomfortable, she asked Lin Hanmei to sit next to her.
The aunt said gently: "It's okay, you have to be strong, let her be here!" So Lin Hanmei snuggled up to her aunt and sat down.
Lin Hanmei suddenly felt that it was quite interesting for so many people to celebrate the New Year together. After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, everyone went home.
