Chapter 18

The third cousin sometimes gave Lin Hanmei money to let Lin Hanmei go to the grocery store to buy children's music. At that time, children were happy for two dollars a bag. Children's music is crunchy, Lin Hanmei likes to break children's music and eat it. If the third cousin saw it, he would say, "Can it be delicious if it is broken?" "But once the third cousin rolled out a bag of children's small rolling pins, and then the third cousin didn't eat much, so she gave it to Lin Hanmei.

stayed at her aunt's house until the second year was about to start, and Lin Hanmei was sent back to her own home. On the day of school, Lin Hanmei went to school again. This time, the first grade was taught by a different teacher, not Li Fugui taught, Lin Han was happy. The new teacher is also a private teacher, surnamed Yang. Teacher Yang is also the home of Lin Hanmei's fourth uncle.

Chinese also starts from pinyin. One day, after learning "y", Mr. Yang asked everyone to write in the notebook after teaching on the blackboard, and he came down to see how everyone wrote. When I saw Lin Hanmei, Teacher Yang said, "You see how well people write, I heard that they came for a few days last year." "At that time, there were a lot of repeaters in the class. Like Duan Licui and Duan Limin, they all repeated. At that time, there were only two subjects in primary school: mathematics and Chinese, and as long as you failed one of the homework in the final exam, the school would let you repeat the grade. Lin Hanmei listened to Teacher Yang's praise, and suddenly felt a sense of motivation rise in her heart, thinking that she would definitely be able to learn well. Later, Lin Hanmei really learned better and better, and Teacher Yang often asked Lin Hanmei to point at the pinyin on the blackboard with a whip before going to the blackboard, leading everyone to read it aloud. Lin Hanmei also learned mathematics very well, even better than philology. Teacher Yang often praises Lin Hanmei.

At that time, Lin Hanmei's father asked Lin Hanmei: "Old son, how is studying?" Lin Hanmei shook her head proudly and said, "Boss, first." Dad smiled happily and proudly. Lin Hanmei knew that the reason why she could learn so well had a lot to do with Teacher Yang's praise at the beginning.

One day Lin Hanmei went to Zhao Huazi's house to do her homework, and saw that there was a girl in her family who was about the same age as Lin Hanmei and them was also doing her homework, and Lin Hanmei had never seen her before. So Lin Hanmei asked Zhao Huazi who she was, and Zhao Huazi said: "Her name is Song Jiaqing, her family is newly moved, and she wants to go to school with us." Song Jiaqing's family was originally in a village in the north of the county, where her father's hometown was. Now she has moved here, and her grandmother's family is in this village. Song Jiaqing studied in the previous village for a year, but was not admitted to the second grade, and within a few days, he also came to Lin Hanmei's class for the first grade. Song Jiaqing and Lin Hanmei are the same age, and this year is also nine years old.

Song Jiaqing's seat was behind Lin Hanmei, and slowly Lin Hanmei became good friends with her. Song Jiaqing has three brothers and sisters, and she also has a younger brother and a younger sister. Song Jiaqing's mother is very fat and fat. After Song Jiaqing's family moved in, they were neighbors with Duan Licui and Duan Limin's family and lived in the west of their house. It is also quite close to Lin Hanmei's house, but it is not in the first room, Lin Hanmei's house is in the west of the second room, and Song Jiaqing's house is in the fourth house in the west of the first trip.

After Lin Hanmei and Song Jiaqing became good friends, Song Jiaqing gave Lin Hanmei a piece of flower paper with peanuts, and Lin Hanmei was happy enough. At that time, rural children had nothing to play with, and a piece of patterned floral paper would be regarded as a treasure by them.

One day, Lin Hanmei joked with Song Jiaqing: "I'm not on good terms with you." Unexpectedly, Song Jiaqing took it seriously, and immediately said: "If you don't pull me down, then return my flower paper to me, and I won't give it to you." So he asked for the flower paper back, and went to get along with Duan Licui and Duan Limin. Lin Hanmei, Duan Licui, and Duan Limin are not very good.

When school was over, Lin Hanmei usually walked with Song Jiaqing, but at noon that day, Song Jiaqing didn't go with Lin Hanmei, and went to walk with Duan Licui and Duan Limin, but Lin Hanmei had to go by herself. Lin Hanmei walked in front, the three of them walked behind, Duan Licui and Duan Limin were very proud to see Song Jiaqing going to be nice to them, and deliberately laughed loudly. The three of them were still knocking on the melon seeds, which were brought by Duan Licui and given to Song Jiaqing. Lin Hanmei surrounded a red triangular scarf with black checkered, the triangular scarf was given to Lin Hanmei by her aunt, they knocked the melon seeds and spit the melon seed skin on Lin Hanmei's triangular scarf. Lin Hanmei turned around and said, "Don't spit melon seed skin on my headscarf." But they said arrogantly, "Who spat the skin of melon seeds on your turban?" It's the wind. After speaking, he vomited on Lin Hanmei's headscarf, and laughed gloatingly. Lin Hanmei was very cowardly when she was a child, and she didn't dare to quarrel with them, so she had to endure her grievances and move forward. Just as Lin Hanmei's brother came from behind, Lin Hanmei said to her brother: "Brother, they bullied me." Duan Licui and Duan Limin saw that Lin Hanmei told their brother, and they were so frightened that they ran away, and their brother caught Song Jiaqing and beat her. My brother beat Song Jiaqing, Song Jiaqing didn't cry, and my brother kept beating. There was a ditch next to the road (there was no water in the ditch), my brother pushed Song Jiaqing into the ditch, and my brother beat Song Jiaqing, Song Jiaqing cried and scolded: "Are you still beating?" "My brother stopped fighting.

After Lin Hanmei and Song Jiaqing fought for a few days, they reconciled again, even better than before.

In addition to teaching, Mr. Yang also farms, and his family also opened a grocery store, and his life is very good. Sometimes Teacher Yang is busy with work in the field, and he will let his daughter come to school to see Lin Hanmei and them for a day. His daughter was in junior high school at the time, and watching them was nothing more than asking them to write this and that. As soon as school was over, her daughter asked who wanted to sweep the floor, and there were a few repeaters who didn't study, Xu Guoqing, and a few of their boys said they wanted to sweep, and Teacher Yang's daughter asked them to sweep. In fact, Lin Hanmei also wanted to sweep very much, but she didn't dare to say it, watching Xu Guoqing and them happily preparing to sweep the floor with a broom after school, Lin Hanmei felt so sorry in her heart.

When children are young, they seem to want to work. Lin Hanmei especially wanted to do laundry when she was a child. Every time grandma wants to wash clothes, Lin Hanmei begs grandma: "Milk, I want to wash with you." But the grandmother always refused to let me, and said, "Child, you want to wash now, but when you grow up, you don't like to wash." Lin Hanmei thought: I won't love washing when I grow up. Only once, grandma agreed to Lin Hanmei in advance, Lin Hanmei was very excited, and happily said to her brother: "I will wash clothes with my milk for a while." But when it was time to wash, grandma didn't let Lin Hanmei wash it again.

Once, grandma and Lin Hanmei were at the fourth aunt's house, and the fourth aunt wanted to wash clothes, and asked grandma if she had anything to wash, and grandma said she had nothing to wash. The fourth aunt asked Lin Hanmei if she had anything to wash, and Lin Hanmei was wearing a green nylon shirt at the time, so she said, "I want to wash my clothes." When my grandmother heard this, she said, "I didn't bury that dress, I just washed her for a few days." But the fourth aunt said, "Let her wash it, let her wash it." Lin Hanmei was so happy, she finally let herself wash her clothes, and immediately changed the clothes and washed them with the fourth aunt, after washing for a while, the fourth aunt looked at Lin Hanmei's washing, but said: "Isn't this the opposite, why do you put laundry detergent on the reverse side?" ”
