But Lin Hanmei felt that she should soak it, so she said, "I don't know either, I have to soak it, right?" The little cousin said, "Then soak it." Lin Hanmei took a basin and soaked the vermicelli. As a result, the stewed vermicelli that day tasted very soft and did not chew at all, and Lin Hanmei knew that the stewed vermicelli did not need to be soaked.

At noon on this day, Lin Hanmei went to the fourth aunt's house to eat, but found that the fourth aunt and the fourth uncle were at home, and they said that the work in the field was done. When Lin Hanmei went, the fourth aunt had already cooked the meal, but she and the fourth aunt were very disgusted with Lin Hanmei going to her house to eat, and their attitude was very bad. Lin Hanmei didn't go to her house to eat at noon the next day.

But Lin Hanmei didn't know where to eat, and her father didn't clearly say where Lin Hanmei would go to eat at noon. After school, Lin Hanmei walked around the school for a long time, and finally had nowhere to go, so she had to go to the cafeteria.

When I arrived at the cafeteria, my father and another uncle, who was cooking, had already finished serving the students and were sitting in the cafeteria to eat. After Lin Hanmei went, she lay down on the kang in that room angrily. The uncle who cooked was a little relative of Lin Hanmei's family, and when he saw this, he called Lin Hanmei and said, "Hanmei, where to eat!" Lin Hanmei didn't get up and didn't speak. Dad said, "She doesn't eat it." The uncle asked his father, "She doesn't eat it?" Did she eat then? Dad said, "Who knows about her, she didn't eat it." That uncle also called Lin Hanmei: "Hanmei, come to dinner!" Lin Hanmei chirped crookedly and got up to eat. Since then, Lin Hanmei has been eating in the cafeteria.

The canteen is not very good, the morning and evening are noodles, the noodles are not the noodles bought, it is a relative of the chief of the food who bought the noodles made by the noodle machine, the noodles are very dark, and they taste a little sour. As for the marinade, summer and autumn are kohlrabi marinade, and winter and spring are shepherd's cabbage pimple pickle marinade. At noon, it is steamed bread, steamed bread is steamed by my father and that uncle, and it is quite delicious, but unfortunately there are no vegetables, only soup, when there is kohlrabi, it is kohlrabi soup, when there is no kohlrabi, it is potato soup, and in winter, I occasionally eat a tofu soup. I never eat rice, and my three meals a day are repeated monotonously.

A few days after Lin Hanmei went to school, one night, her father took her to her eldest cousin's house. The eldest cousin was sewing a quilt on the bed, and when she looked up, she saw that it was Lin Hanmei and her father, and greeted her warmly. Then the eldest cousin said to Lin Hanmei: "Hanmei, you call your aunt." Lin Hanmei said: "Then what if my aunt knows that I went to school here?" "Before, my father and brother went to see my aunt and asked Lin Hanmei if she was going, but Lin Hanmei didn't go because she was afraid that her aunt would know that she wouldn't go there to study. On that occasion, the eldest uncle also gave his brother 200 yuan. The eldest cousin said, "Then doesn't your aunt know that you are studying here?" Lin Hanmei thought about it, so she picked up the phone and dialed her aunt's house.

The phone rang and was picked up, Lin Hanmei thought that the person who answered the phone was probably next to the phone. The other party "hey", and Lin Hanmei heard that it was her little cousin, but Lin Hanmei pretended not to know and asked sternly: "Who?" The little cousin-in-law heard that it was Lin Hanmei, and said softly: "Ah, Hanmei, I am your sister-in-law." The third cousin over there heard that it was Lin Hanmei, so she hurriedly snatched the phone.

After the third cousin snatched the phone, she said kindly: "Hey, Lin Hanmei! Lin Hanmei said, "Well, third sister." Then he asked, "Is my aunt better?" The third cousin said, "Your aunt is better." In fact, Lin Hanmei understands in her heart, how can it be good, it would be good if it didn't deteriorate. At this time, Lin Hanmei heard her third cousin whispering, but Lin Hanmei didn't hear it clearly, so she asked, "Ah?" Third sister, what are you talking about? The third cousin said, "Your aunt asked you if you were reading there or coming back?" I said you should read there first, and then come back later. When Lin Hanmei heard this, she felt warm in her heart, thinking that her aunt was so sick and still thinking about herself. The third cousin said again: "That day, Sister Zhou came to say that you won the English competition, and there was a certificate, and asked if you wanted it." I said it had to be, it was an honor, and she said she would bring it when she came back. Wait until you come back to get it back. "Sister Zhou is the classmate of the eldest cousin. Lin Hanmei said: "Well, third sister." Then I'm fine, I'm just asking my aunt. The third cousin said, "Hey, that's okay Hanmei." So Lin Hanmei hung up the phone.

Lin Hanmei fell in love with a boy in the new class, his name was Li Chunyu. He is not tall and not so handsome, but Lin Hanmei thinks he is very special. He has very white skin, he is quite clean, and he studies very well. Lin Hanmei likes to look at his seat when she has nothing to do in self-study class. Lin Hanmei's tablemate, Lin Fengjuan, was a little clever ghost, and soon discovered Lin Hanmei's secret. When Lin Hanmei turned sideways to look at Li Chunyu in the self-study class, Lin Fengjuan followed Lin Hanmei's line of sight, and when she found that Lin Hanmei was looking at Li Chunyu, she smiled meaningfully. Seeing her smile like that, Lin Hanmei hurriedly withdrew her gaze, feeling that her secret was being snooped on by others, so she was not annoyed.

Some time ago, the uncle and aunt came to the fourth aunt's house, and when they left, they had to let their brother go to their house to play for a few days, and the brother followed them, and the uncle's house was in the provincial capital.

The elder brother stayed at the uncle's house for half a month before coming back, and the uncle bought him a shirt, a pair of pants and a pair of shoes, and gave the elder brother 200 yuan. Uncle owes my father some money, and when my father went to work in a foreign country, he didn't give the money at that time, and then my father came back. The money was received by the uncle, and he had no money, so he spent it. But the 200 yuan is not considered to be repaid, but they gave it to their brother.

Although I knew that my brother had been admitted, the admission notice had not yet come, and my brother couldn't help but be a little anxious, and my brother was afraid that the notice would be mailed to his head teacher, and his head teacher secretly tore it up, because my brother quarreled with him last semester.

Waiting, looking forward to, this day's notice finally came, although I had already known the news, but the notice came Lin Hanmei and her family were still very happy, so they hurriedly prepared in full swing, because my brother was about to start school in a few days.

Dad begged a carpenter who used to hang out in the cafeteria to make a small wooden box for his brother, and wanted him to carry it to school to load clothes. The eldest cousin dismantled the futon for her brother, washed it and made it again, and the third sister of an uncle's family who worked in middle school bought a new quilt cover for her brother. The third cousin of the aunt's family also gave her brother a blanket and a wool mat that she used when she went to school. Now that you're almost ready, bring some clothes and money, and you're ready to go.

The elder brother opened the small box in the fourth aunt's house, took out all the money in it and checked it, saying that it was still not enough. Lin Hanmei gave all her money to her brother. My brother said it was almost enough.
