Era: Started from raising livestock in the mountains

The van stopped at the door of the Lin family. As soon as the door opened, Xiongba rushed down first.

Lin Heng held his youngest son and pulled Xiulan out of the car. The two walked towards home first and moved things later.

Some onlookers in the village saw them holding two children and asked curiously: "Why two children? Xiulan gave birth to twins?"

"Yes, they are twin boys." Lin Heng replied with a smile. Not many people knew that Xiulan was pregnant with twins.

"Oh my God, these are two twin boys at once. Congratulations!"

"Yes, you don't have to hide from family planning in this way. God bless you."

Hearing Lin Heng's words, everyone gathered around and wanted to see the twins. Lin Heng only let them see the face of one child and went into the house. The child was too young to be blown by the cold wind outside.

Lin Heng went into the house, and many people gathered around Lin's father and mother to chat. Twins are still very rare, and many people are also interested in what they have seen and heard in the city.

"Ah~"

In the yard, six little puppies saw someone coming in and ran around excitedly. They were chubby and very happy.

"They have grown so big." Xiulan looked at the puppies in surprise.

"The puppies are so cute!" Xiaoxia rushed over and picked up two of them. The puppies, who were not afraid of strangers at all, licked her hands happily, and their innocent appearance made people love them.

"It's been a month, for sure." Lin Heng said as he opened the door, "Come in quickly, it's cold outside."

Everything familiar at home made Xiulan feel at ease. No matter how good the city is, it's not as comfortable as here.

Xiulan looked at the three new furniture in the main room and said in surprise: "Is this the crib and cradle made by Dad? They look pretty."

Except for the cradle, which was woven with bamboo, the others were made of snow-white thorn fir wood, painted with a light layer of varnish, without any extra decoration.

"Yes." Lin Heng took two small quilts and spread them on the crib, and put his youngest son Lin Duheng in it.

The crib was two meters long and one meter and two meters wide, separated by a grille in the middle, and the child was just right to sleep in it.

Xiulan tried the cradle, and Lin Luming laughed silly after rocking it twice.

"This cradle is very useful." Xiulan was very satisfied.

"Just watch me, I'm going to move things."

Lin Heng went out to help after handing the child to Xiulan.

There were quite a few things brought back, including a baby carriage used in the city, a lot of daily necessities, and finally beef and mutton, a new fireplace, and some other food.

After moving the things back, Lin Heng paid the freight, watched the van leave, turned back to the house, and prepared to burn charcoal for heating.

He had just taken out the charcoal and hadn't lit it yet, when the sister-in-law next door, Liu Juan, walked into the house quickly with a large pot of charcoal fire and put it down.

"Knowing that you're coming back today, I'm afraid my two nephews will be cold, so I specially burned it."

Liu Juan put down the fire and said with a smile.

"Also, if you need hot water, I have it at home. We are roasting wine today." She added.

"Thank you, sister-in-law, this pot of fire is very timely." Xiulan said with a smile.

With a pot of fire, everyone can warm their hands and feet immediately, which is much more comfortable.

"Don't be polite about such a small matter. We are all family."

Liu Juan smiled, came over to look at the twin nephews, and said, "Come to my house for dinner later. I have already started to cook lunch."

Lin Heng did not refuse this. It was indeed too slow to clean up the house before cooking. Everyone was a little hungry after eating early in the morning.

After the sister-in-law left, everyone roasted the fire while commenting on the cradle and baby bed made by Lin's father.

These two things are very good except that the materials are too solid and a little heavy.

Father Lin was also very happy to be praised by everyone. He spent a lot of effort to make these three things.

After resting and warming up, everyone helped to clean up the house. Lin Heng lit the fireplace in the bedroom and moved the baby bed in.

The main door is definitely not as warm as the closed bedroom. The temperature of the fireplace can reach about 20 degrees.

Xiu Lan sorted daily necessities and clothes in the bedroom, while Lin Heng, Caiyun and others cleaned up other rooms and the yard.

Lin Heng went to the backyard to take a look. When he opened the door, he saw two blooming wintersweets, and a faint fragrance wafted out.

The surface of the fish pond was not frozen, and the fish were hiding in the corner and basically did not move.

In other aspects, only the calamus, orchid, black pine, cypress, and sugar orange trees were green, and the rest of the plants were basically withered and yellowed.

After a simple tidying up, Lin Heng went to the back mountain to take a look. Kun Kun, who was raised by his eldest brother, was very healthy.

The newborn calf last year had been weaned and sent to Hongfeng Mountain for raising, and there was only one big cow left here.

In a while, the cow can be bred, and there is no rush now.

"Second brother, the eldest brother called for dinner!"

Lin Heng was watching, and Caiyun shouted from the back door.

"I'm here."

Lin Heng agreed, turned around and walked back, holding the child to eat lunch at his eldest brother's house.

Since his elder brother learned to shoot, he has made a lot of money with him. Now his living conditions are much better, the food is much better than last year, and the dishes are more delicious.

"Today is a happy day, we have to drink well. This is my latest brewed rice wine, just scooped out of the wine jar." Lin Yue said with a smile.

"Just drink until you are happy, but don't get drunk, otherwise it will be difficult for Xiulan to take care of two children alone in the middle of the night." Lin Heng said with a smile.

This rice wine has a strong rice flavor and is not intoxicating, so he likes it very much.

"That's fine. You drink less. Dad and I will drink more." Lin Yue said with a smile as he poured the hot rice wine.

After eating and drinking, Lin Yue looked at Lin Heng with a smile: "Brother, your sister-in-law wants to ask if you have time recently. She can't wait to open a small store."

Lin Heng said: "Well, you can clean up the house and install the shelves in the next two days. I will tell the wholesaler about the purchase and let someone bring it to you."

Speaking of which, because of Xiulan's childbirth, he even quit Wang Zhou's marriage and asked his father to give a big gift at that time.

Liu Juan smiled and said: "We have bought the wood. Ask Dad to help make the shelves in the next two days."

"That's fine. Tell me when you are done next day." Lin Heng nodded.

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon after a meal. The parents looked at the two grandchildren and went back to Hongfeng Mountain. The cattle and sheep needed to be fed.

Caiyun was studying at Lin Heng's house with her textbooks, while Xiaoxia was obsessed with playing games with six puppies. The two with gray and white fur looked more and more like wolf puppies, and their fur colors were particularly similar.

Lin Heng helped Xiulan feed the children, and she had to feed the two children one by one.

"Why are you staring at them!"

Xiulan looked at Lin Heng with a blush. She felt embarrassed when he looked at her like that.

Lin Heng shook his head and sighed, "I was just amazed at the good shape and the white and pink color. It's simply a masterpiece of God."

Xiulan's face turned even redder at that time, and she glared at him fiercely: "You'll be dead after you finish feeding the children."

"What's wrong? You don't allow me to praise you." Lin Heng said with a sly smile.

Xiulan stared at him, her cheeks puffed up, and after feeding her son Lin Luming, she put him in the cradle and prepared to walk over and give Lin Heng a good beating.

Lin Heng quickly handed over the crying Lin Duheng: "Feed your little son quickly, he's about to cry from hunger."

The little son had been hungry for a long time, and when he saw his mother, he rushed over, asking for a hug and milk.

"You only know how to make fun of me all day, so you should starve your son." Xiulan snorted.

"I'm not making fun of you, I'm praising you, it's really nice." Lin Heng smiled.

Xiulan gritted her teeth: "Besides, your son is really hungry!"

Lin Heng smiled and spread his hands: "You are hungry, but you are talking as if it's not your son."

"Wow wow wow~"

Before Xiulan could speak, the child in her arms started crying from hunger, and her voice was very sharp and high.

"Just wait." Xiulan glared at Lin Heng and started to feed the child milk.

Lin Heng got up to pour Xiulan a glass of water and teased Lin Luming in the cradle.

After feeding the third child and putting him in the cradle, Xiulan didn't even drink the water, she came over and gave Lin Heng a good beating to vent her anger.

She was about to leave when Lin Heng hugged her and sat on his lap: "You want to run after beating me?"

He buried his mouth in her chest and sniffed hard, praising: "It smells so good."

Xiu Lan panicked: "What are you doing? I'm still in confinement. Besides, it's so bright in the daytime..."

She knew that Lin Heng had been holding back for nearly two months and was afraid that he would do something wrong, so she quickly added: "If it really doesn't work, I'll use other methods at night..."

"You think too much. I'm just teasing you. I'm going to hold it back for a month." Lin Heng said with a grin.

"Ah!"

Xiu Lan's eyes widened and she was scared.

If he had to hold it back for two months, it would be such a big explosion that she couldn't bear it.

However, Lin Heng ignored her, picked her up and put her on the bed, and went out by himself.

After coming out of the main room, he assembled the fireplace he bought, measured the diameter of the chimney, sawed a hole of the same diameter in the floor board next to the wall, and connected the entire chimney to the roof.

I wanted to do it from the side, but it was not appropriate to have a hole from the main hall. It would look ugly in the front of the house.

So I had to make a hole from the roof. He spent the whole afternoon on this.

After feeding the children, Xiulan put them in the crib and let them crawl by themselves. She did not allow them to sleep, so that they would not be unable to sleep at night.

At first, the child would cry as soon as he left his mother's arms. If he followed his back, he would not be able to leave his hand.

I had the heart to put him in the crib. After trying a few times to form a habit, it would be much easier to take care of the child later.

Moreover, it is good for the child to crawl and exercise more by himself, and he can learn to walk earlier.

Although she is still in the confinement period, she has recovered very well and has no problem doing some normal things.

She thinks that the reason why she can recover so quickly is mainly due to Lin Heng. He used to take her to exercise in the morning to cultivate a strong physique.

She also ate very well during pregnancy and confinement, and she never stopped taking various supplements.

This two-pronged approach made her postpartum recovery much better than that of ordinary pregnant women, because most of her belly that had grown larger during pregnancy had shrunk.

The rest will take time to come, and requires unremitting practice.

When Lin Heng was fixing the chimney, she also opened the freezer and took out some of the previously frozen braised meat, roe deer meat and shrimp.

She hadn't cooked for Lin Heng for a long time, so she prepared a hearty dinner.

In the evening, Lin Heng installed the chimney, and she also prepared the meal, and asked Caiyun to call her parents to come over for dinner.

At the dinner table, Lin Heng took a bite of the dish and said with a smile: "I haven't eaten it for a long time, but it's still as delicious as always."

"I feel that Xiulan's cooking skills have improved again." Lin's mother also commented.

"I especially like the vinegar whistle made by sister-in-law Xiulan." Caiyun also nodded.

"No, I think my cooking skills have declined." Xiulan said modestly, feeling very happy.

Lin Heng ate the coriander roe deer meat made by Xiulan, and felt that this was the delicious taste of roe deer meat, and it tasted better than beef.

The shrimp and the overcooked bear ribs were also very delicious, removing the fishy smell and retaining the meaty aroma. Add chestnuts, winter melon, yam and lotus root, and it tasted much better than what Lin's mother had made before.

While Lin Heng was eating, he asked: "By the way, Dad, is the bear oil you boiled effective?"

"It has some effect, and the best effect is to use it to wipe the cracks." Lin's father replied.

Cracks are cracks on the skin.

Lin's mother also said: "But it is very good for frying meat, and it is more fragrant than lard for cooking."

"Then I'll boil some tomorrow to eat." Lin Heng scooped a bowl of rice and said.

There are two pieces of bear suet in the freezer, and a lot of bear meat also contains a lot of fat. It is only used for spreading and will take many years.

"You can put it in small bottles and sell it. I think there should be many people who buy it." Lin's father said.

"Let's try it." Lin Heng said that he was more used to eating this kind of good thing with his own people instead of selling it.

After dinner, he took a rest as soon as the things were cleaned up. He put the baby bed next to their bed and Xiaoxia's crib, which was very convenient for changing diapers at night.

The next morning, Xiulan got up early to exercise with Lin Heng.

After exercising, he went to milk the cows again, feeling the joy of freedom without bad children.

For breakfast, the family drank fresh milk again after half a month. In addition to eggs and milk, there were also braised roe deer liver and heart.

After dinner, Xiulan and Caiyun were busy dealing with the black bear viscera and bear suet that were taken out and thawed last night.

She prepared braised dishes and boiled oil today. These were not heavy work. She was very keen on making delicious food for her family.

"Honey, do you still want to eat braised roe deer and bear meat?" Xiulan looked up at Lin Heng who was fiddling with the fireplace and asked.

Lin Heng nodded and said, "Yes, braised ones are delicious. You should also braise the dried fish that my parents brought over. If you don't eat it, it will go bad."

"Okay." Xiulan nodded in agreement.

After Lin Heng installed the fireplace, he tried it immediately. After adding wood and lighting it, he closed the door. The fire burned fiercely. If there was no smoke, it was considered a success.

The door of this fireplace is made of iron, with only one fire viewing hole. It is square on top. The iron cover in the middle can be opened to boil water and cook. It is more practical than the one in the bedroom.

The whole house heats up much faster when the fireplace is lit than the charcoal fire, and there is no need to worry about gas poisoning.

After it is done, the two sons can be brought to the main room, and they don't have to be kept in the bedroom all the time.

After the fireplace is installed, Lin Heng took out the leather door curtain he bought and prepared to install it, which can isolate the cold air.

After all, the door can't be kept closed all the time, so this transparent leather door curtain is very useful. It doesn't block the view much, and it can also block most of the cold wind and keep the room warm.

Lin Heng was nailing the door curtain when Tian Yan knocked on the door and came in, bringing two pieces of news that surprised Lin Heng.
