Era: Started from raising livestock in the mountains

Carrying the fish and dragging his daughter home, Lin Heng shouted as soon as he entered the yard: "Wife, is the meal ready?"

Xiu Lan replied: "It's almost done. The stewed dishes have just come out of the pot and I'm preparing to cook."

Lin Heng said: "That's perfect. Mom bought you a crucian carp. I'll kill it and make you a crucian carp tofu soup."

"Okay." Xiu Lan nodded in agreement.

Lin Heng held Xiaoxia and took the fish into the house to warm up for a while, and then took the dagger to kill the fish outside. This pound of crucian carp is very big, and it is enough to kill two in one meal. The rest will be kept in a bucket for the time being.

When Lin Heng killed the fish, several little puppies ran over and wanted to eat the internal organs. They are now one month old and can eat anything.

"Here!"

Lin Heng threw two internal organs full of fish roe to them. The five puppies scrambled for them, chasing each other, and finally the food was snatched away by a black and yellow puppy with its tail erected.

"Ah, green eyes!"

Lin Heng took a closer look and found that the eyes of this puppy were unusual. The other dogs had golden and black pupils, but this dog's pupils were emerald green.

Its size was in the second echelon, not the strongest, but its timing was right. It took advantage of the others' scramble to grab the food, and then swallowed it in two bites.

Among the six dogs, the largest one was a wolf cub with gray and white hair. Its right ear was black, and it looked bigger than the others. It loved to bite things the most. The rags in the doghouse were all bitten to pieces by it.

There were four medium-sized dogs, and the smallest one was the little white dog. I don't know if it couldn't get enough milk, but it was much smaller than the other dogs.

Lin Heng took a look and went into the house. He often observed these puppies and could tell which one was smarter from their usual actions.

Give the fish to Xiulan, and the meal was ready soon. Xiulan cut the braised bear intestines, bear liver, and roe deer meat, and fried a bacon, a bear meat, a green vegetable, and crucian carp soup, which made seven dishes.

The few people drank a little rice wine and chatted while eating.

The braised bear intestines felt no different from pig intestines, and the bear liver was more delicate and tasted very good.

The braised roe deer meat tasted just a little tenderer than beef, and the taste was not much different.

It tasted even better when dipped in the vinegar soup made by Xiulan.

After dinner, Tian Yan chatted with Xiulan Caiyun for a while before turning back.

After Tian Yan left, Lin Heng helped to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and sat on the sofa to rest. He didn't want to do any work in the afternoon.

After Xiulan fed the two children, she called Caiyun and Lin Heng to play cards. It was a good time to play games and have fun during the New Year.

"Dad, what should I do if the little house I built doesn't look like it?"

Xiaoxia ran over and took Lin Heng's hand and said.

Lin Heng turned his head and saw that she had built many strange buildings in the corner of the main room with building blocks and various toys.

"It's okay, you are the author and you can do whatever you want. You have the right to decide." Lin Heng patted her shoulder and said.

Xiaoxia was surprised: "Really, Dad?"

Lin Heng nodded: "Yes, as long as you make it yourself, you can make it in any shape you want, and you don't have to make it the same as others."

"Then I'll go play! I'm going to build a big house for the puppy."

Xiaoxia went to the door to catch the little white dog that was about to escape, and took it back to build a house.

She now likes to play with puppies more, because puppies are much more enthusiastic than cats. Jinbao sleeps on the bench all day and doesn't want to interact with her at all.

After playing cards for half an afternoon, Xiulan went to see the solidified bear oil again, turned her head and looked at Lin Heng and said: "I want to eat hot pot, but our hot pot base is used up. Can roe deer lard be used as hot pot base?"

"Okay, you can try a little bit. If it doesn't work, I will buy some butter when I go to the city to pull coal tomorrow." Lin Heng said.

"Okay, help me dig some green onions." Xiulan nodded.

Lin Heng immediately went to dig some green onions, and came back to help get some other spices.

Xiulan cut a small part of the roe deer suet into pieces, blanched it in water and put it in the pot to boil.

When it was almost boiled, filter the oil residue, and then add spices such as pepper and pepper. After it was done, pour it into a plate and put it outside. It cooled and solidified in a short while.

Because we made less this time, we made about two kilograms of hot pot base, which was cut into eight pieces.

In the evening, they made some roe deer meat for hot pot. Although the pot was very red, the chili was not spicy. They don't eat that kind of particularly spicy chili here.

Because there is not as heavy humidity as in the south, they eat chili for fragrance, and the spicy taste is just incidental.

Lin Heng picked up a large chopstick of cooked roe deer meat, dipped it in the dipping sauce and put it into his mouth. He chewed it twice and ate it, nodding his head and saying, "Not bad, the hot pot base made from roe deer lard tastes almost the same as beef lard."

"I think it's good too. I can't tell the difference from beef lard anyway." Caiyun said.

"Then I'll make the remaining lard into hot pot base tomorrow. It won't go bad if it's stored in the freezer."

Xiu Lan nodded and said that adding some hot pot base to stir-fried meat will also taste good.

"Okay, then I won't buy beef lard tomorrow." Lin Heng nodded and said.

As they talked, Xiaoxia took a piece of roe deer meat from Lin Heng's bowl with chopsticks, and soon she stuck out her tongue because of the spiciness.

"Is it delicious?" Lin Heng looked at her and smiled.

Xiaoxia shook her head stubbornly, "It's not spicy at all. I want more."

"Hurry up and eat some tofu to relieve the spiciness." Xiu Lan took a piece of frozen tofu from the crucian carp soup pot next to her.

Xiaoxia rushed over to eat the frozen tofu, and Xiulan looked at her helplessly and fed her some light vegetables. She couldn't eat spicy food but still wanted to eat, just curious about what the adults' food tasted like.

It was dark after dinner, Lin Heng and Xiulan washed up and changed the clothes of the two children before going to bed.

"Guess how many red envelopes Lu Ming and Du Heng received?" Xiulan asked with a smile while lying on the bed.

"How much?" Lin Heng had never paid much attention to this, and gave all the red envelopes to Xiulan.

"My parents gave them 150 yuan each, which added up to 200 yuan. My eldest brother gave a red envelope of 20 yuan, and Tian Yan gave 10 yuan."

"That's so much." Lin Heng was a little shocked, and the red envelopes given by everyone were so valuable.

"I was also shocked when I opened it." Xiulan said happily.

"Just take the money, let's go to bed quickly." Lin Heng said as he lay down, he was a little tired.

"Okay." Xiulan put the money away and lay down to rest.

What they didn't expect was that the two children wet the bed twice at night, and Xiaoxia woke up crying, so they couldn't sleep well.

The next day, they both got up after nine o'clock.

"I'm so tired." Xiulan stretched and leaned into Lin Heng's arms.

"Get up quickly." Lin Heng hugged her and said with a smile.

"Husband, you really don't need me to help you~" Xiulan hugged his neck and said tenderly, her body pressed against him.

Lin Heng looked at her. She always wanted to help him solve his problems intentionally or unintentionally these two days, as if she was really afraid that he would hold it in for too long and then he couldn't bear it.

Both of them were used to sleeping naked, and it was hard for them to resist being so close to Lin Heng.

"Don't want your hand." Lin Heng smiled and prepared to get up.

Xiulan immediately understood what he meant, blushing and said: "Humph, you really don't have good intentions."

"Get up and exercise, wife." Lin Heng kissed her on the face, in fact, he didn't want her to be too tired.

After changing her clothes, she went out to the backyard with Lin Heng to exercise.

She is very enthusiastic about exercise now, and hopes that she can recover well enough without any problems.

After exercising, she went to make breakfast. Lin Heng called Xiaoxia to exercise, and waited for Caiyun to come from the old house, and they had breakfast together.

"Wife, I'm going to the city to pull coal." After dinner, Lin Heng looked at Xiulan and said.

"You go, pay attention to safety." Xiulan nodded and said.

Lin Heng filled up the sidecar with oil and went to the next door to see the progress of the renovation of the eldest brother's store.

They vacated the original large hall of the hall to place shelves.

"Brother, do you think this is okay?" Lin Yue asked.

"Yes, this is good." Lin Heng nodded and said, then asked, "I'm going to the city to pull coal, do you have anything to bring?"

"No, do you want me to go with you?" Lin Yue asked.

"No, you can help Dad make containers and shelves." Lin Heng shook his head.

After he finished speaking, he went out, took the bear meat, bear oil and roe deer meat and went to see Grandpa Gao first.

Grandpa Gao was very surprised to learn that he had killed a black bear, and was even more surprised to learn that Xiulan had given birth to twin sons for him.

"Giving birth to twin sons, good news, bring them to me when you have time." Grandpa Gao said with a smile.

"Don't worry, I'll bring them to see you when the children are a little older." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"Don't leave today, just have lunch here, and then we'll go catch some crucian carp in the afternoon and you can take them back for Xiulan to eat."

Grandpa Gao looked at Lin Heng and said that he liked to fish with people like Lin Heng who knew how to fish.

Lin Heng smiled and agreed: "Okay, I'll go to the city now and come to have lunch with you at noon."

After chatting with Grandpa Gao, he parked the car here, rented a large tractor, and went into the city to buy two tons of water-washed coal from a coal block seller.

Coal was very cheap in those days, one cent per catty, that is, one dollar per hundred catties, and he bought two tons of coal for a total of forty dollars.

Including the freight, it was only fifty yuan. It took five hours to go back and forth. It was already one o'clock in the afternoon when he returned to Hongfeng Village with the coal.

Many villagers didn't understand when they saw him carrying coal home. Why would he use coal that cost money when there was free firewood?

Lin Heng didn't explain much, just said that he would use it to burn the stove at night, and asked his eldest brother to help him move it.

He unloaded one and a half tons of coal at home and piled it in the corner under the eaves.

The remaining half a ton was taken to Hongfeng Mountain for his parents to use, and he warned them to be careful of gas poisoning.

After unloading the coal, Lin Heng said goodbye to his parents and Xiulan, and returned to the town.

On the way back to the town, he calculated the account. Since he brought Xiulan to the city to give birth to a child, he has spent a total of about two thousand yuan.

Not only buying things for Xiulan, but also other things, such as inviting people to dinner, etc.

Excluding the two thousand yuan, he now has

At noon, he had a hot pot with Grandpa Gao, with roe deer meat and bear meat.

After eating, we went fishing again in the afternoon. We were not lucky and didn’t catch anything after fishing for the whole afternoon.

In the evening, we found a couple of pheasants by accident. Grandpa Gao went home and shot them dead. One for each of them.

It was almost dark when Lin Heng got home. Xiaoxia hugged him when she saw him: “Dad, you are finally back.”

“I won’t go out tomorrow. I will play with you at home.” Lin Heng hugged her and said.

“I will cook when you come back. I will make dumplings stuffed with oil residue today.” Xiulan looked at him and said.

“That is a real treat. I like dumplings stuffed with oil residue the most.” Lin Heng drooled.

Whether it is lard or bear oil, the oil residue after peeling is so fragrant that people can swallow their tongues. It is absolutely a supreme delicacy to use it to make steamed buns or dumplings.

After a while, Xiulan prepared the dumplings. Lin Heng ate thirty of them by himself and almost ate too much.

"Let's play checkers." Caiyun suggested during dinner.

"Okay." Lin Heng readily agreed. This is a game that Xiaoxia and Xiulan can participate in. Five people can play together.

"The loser will be punished." Xiulan said with a wink.

The three of them played for nearly two hours before going to bed to rest. During this time, they took a little time to take care of the children.

The two of them are also very tired now. They have to coax three children to sleep.

Lin Heng finished telling Xiaoxia a story, Xiulan finished feeding the milk, and coaxed the two little guys to sleep.

But it is worth being happy that the fireplace uses coal tonight, which can burn all night, so there is no need to get up in the middle of the night to add firewood.

After Lin Heng lay down, Xiulan shrank into his arms and played with his fingers.

After a year of recuperation, Xiulan not only became much whiter, but also had a pair of small hands that were as soft and smooth as mutton-fat jade.

She exuded a faint milky fragrance and was soft to the touch.

"Go to sleep." Lin Heng turned off the light and said.

Then as soon as he turned off the light, Xiulan hugged his neck and kissed him.

She didn't say anything, just blocked his mouth.

After a while, she gradually sank. Lin Heng said in the morning that he didn't want her hand, but now she used her mouth.

"Wife, I was joking in the morning, hands will do." Lin Heng hugged her and said.

"It's okay, I just want to make you comfortable."

Xiulan said softly and continued her own business.

Lin Heng didn't say anything either. The night was so quiet that he could hear the wind outside. He felt that he had arrived in heaven and was destined to be trapped in her gentle land and couldn't get out.

In a blink of an eye, it was already dawn. Lin Heng woke up early today. The child didn't make a fuss last night and they slept well.

Lin Heng looked at the woman lying beside him and gently touched her face.

She was so good to him and was willing to do anything.

"Are you still not satisfied?" Xiulan opened her eyes and looked at him with watery eyes.

"No, I just think this face is so beautiful." Lin Heng smiled.

"Take another look at it." She leaned into his arms and said softly.

The two looked at each other silently for a while, and Lin Luming next to them cried.

Xiulan pushed him: "Get up and change your son's diaper!"

"It's time to get up. I'm going to get the mullet hatching pond today." Lin Heng nodded, sat up and hugged Lin Luming to change his diaper.

He felt that he was in a particularly good spirit today and refreshed.
