Era: Started from raising livestock in the mountains

After changing the baby's diaper, Xiulan brought the two children over to feed.

Lin Heng held Lin Luming who had finished feeding, looked at his wife and asked: "Do you need to buy milk powder to feed? Can you feed two children?"

Although he was worried about the quality of the current baby milk powder, he was also worried that Xiulan could not feed them.

Although her big and white breasts were still firm and not sagging, it might still be a bit difficult to feed two children.

And sometimes she had to feed this "big child". After all, it would be hard for him not to be tempted by such delicious food in front of him.

"Not for the time being, I can still feed it." Xiulan looked at him and shook her head.

"Then I will give you more milk-producing food and massage you more." Lin Heng nodded seriously.

Xiulan glared at him lightly, not wanting to talk to him for the time being. This guy did it, and he liked to say such embarrassing things with his mouth.

"Okay, I was wrong, I won't say it." Lin Heng quickly admitted his mistake, but in fact he just liked to see Xiulan blushing.

Also, it really feels good in the hands and mouth.

After feeding the two children, he coaxed them to sleep for a while, and then the two went out to exercise together.

Lin Heng had a lot of money in his last life, and he learned the exercise methods from professionals.

After rebirth, he had a good memory, and he remembered it clearly when he taught Xiulan, and she learned it very authentically.

Watching her do the beautiful Tai Chi in the morning is also a pleasing process.

"Your hair is messy again." Lin Heng looked at her and stretched out his little hand. She liked to let her hair down recently.

"Fix it for me." Xiulan stretched out her little face and looked at him with her bright eyes.

"Okay."

Lin Heng always liked to smooth her hair when it was messy, and touch her little face by the way.

Seeing that Xiulan was almost done with the exercise, Lin Heng started himself. He not only practiced the Eight Vajra Exercises, but also did other movements to exercise muscles and waist and abdomen.

It took 30 to 40 minutes to finish all of them, and the whole person would become sweaty.

"You did more today than yesterday." Xiulan came over with a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, tiptoed slightly, and her body could not help but stick to his chest.

"I feel refreshed today." Lin Heng smiled.

He especially liked Xiulan to come over to wipe her sweat after his exercise. There was always an inexplicable comfort when he smelled her smell and looked at her face.

"I'll hit you if you keep talking nonsense!"

Xiulan glared at him, knowing that he was referring to what happened last night.

She had relieved him of more than a month's pressure, which was magical and refreshing.

When she thought of the scene of her entire mouth being filled, her pretty face couldn't help but blush, and she hit him hard a few times.

The terrifying amount almost choked her, causing her to drink a lot.

"No, you think too much." Lin Heng hurriedly explained.

"If I say there is, there is."

Xiulan slapped him hard twice, threw the towel on his head and went to wash.

Lin Heng wiped his sweat, went back to the house to wash his face, and then went to the main room to add some coal to the fireplace, and then put firewood to ignite it.

Yesterday he wanted to buy a steel fireplace stand, but Lin's father said he would make one for him, so he didn't buy it.

"Come on, let's go milk the cows!" Xiulan called him with a bucket. She liked to call him to work with her.

"Come on, come on."

Lin Heng scooped some feed and went to the back mountain with Xiulan. He fed the chickens and Xiulan was responsible for milking the cows.

When they came back, the main room had warmed up and Caiyun was about to get up.

Xiulan went to make breakfast, Lin Heng was responsible for waking up the baby daughter, and then brought the two sons to the main room and put them in the stroller.

As soon as Lin Heng came out of the bedroom with his two sons, he smelled a rich fragrance, which made people drool.

"Are you frying dumplings? It smells so good!" Lin Heng said to Xiulan next to the fireplace.

Because this fireplace can be placed on a small pot, it is very convenient for her to make breakfast now. She doesn't have to go to the kitchen, she can do it directly on the fireplace.

Xiaoxia was no longer sleepy when she smelled the smell, and ran over to hold her mother's clothes: "Mom, I want to eat fried dumplings!"

"Let your dad take you to wash your face, it will be ready in a while." Xiulan looked at her and said.

"Caiyun just came, just in time." Lin Heng heard the knock on the door outside and said.

Putting the children in the stroller, he went to open the door. Now the two children are easier to take care of.

As long as they are not hungry or pooping their pants, they don't cry much in the stroller, but sometimes the two brothers will fight with each other.

This is entirely due to the fact that Lin Heng and Xiulan have been patient enough to cultivate good habits for them.

Caiyun took Xiaoxia to wash up, and Xiulan also prepared the meal. They drank milk, ate the fried dumplings that were not finished yesterday, and the baked potatoes that Xiaoxia liked to eat.

After dinner, Lin Heng got up and went to Hongfeng Mountain to set up a hatchery for plum fish.

The weather was still very gloomy today. There was a strong cold wind outside the yard. Not many people in the village came out, and they all huddled in the house to warm themselves by the fire and play cards.

He thought about it roughly these two days and decided how to build a hatchery for plum fish.

Walking to Hongfeng Mountain and coming to the warehouse, Lin Heng looked at his father and elder brother and said, "You haven't finished the shelves yet?"

They are still making shelves here.

"The last container, the others are ready." Lin Yue said with a smile.

Father Lin looked at him and said, "Are you here to build a hatchery for plum fish?"

"Yes, you guys do the work, I can do it alone." Lin Heng said and went to the hatchery. He first turned on the tap and let some water from the mountain into the hatchery pool, then added quicklime to soak it and carried out a comprehensive disinfection.

While soaking here first, he went to get some fine nets and prepared to make small net cages for use when the time comes.

After Lin Heng worked for a while, his mother came to help. Making net cages is a very laborious job.

Static water is completely fine when the fish eggs are hatching. After a period of time when they become fry, the water body will have some fluidity again, and the oxygen content must be increased.

Therefore, he had to build a breeding pond for young fish. This was the most difficult, because if the water flow was too large, the small fish would die, and if the water flow was too small, the dissolved oxygen content might not be enough.

In the next few days, Lin Heng was busy with this hatchery pool, and the child was handed over to Xiulan to look after.

Time passed quickly and it was the twelfth day of the first lunar month, which was March 3, 1985.

The renovation of his eldest brother's store was completed yesterday, and a store sign was erected at the intersection. It looks like the opening date is the 16th of the first lunar month.

It hasn't snowed recently, and it seems that it is not going to snow, because it will be the Waking of Insects in two days, and spring will come after the Waking of Insects.

Compared with last year, there is not much snow this winter. There was a particularly heavy snow before the Chinese New Year.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Lin Heng, his eldest brother, and his parents took buckets and scoop nets and walked towards the small reservoir on the top of the mountain.

When they came to the edge of the reservoir, Lin Yue took the scoop net and said, "Lin Heng, my dad and I will catch fish, and you and mom will collect eggs."

"No problem." Lin Heng nodded.

He filled two large buckets with water, and his eldest brother and father caught the fish and separated them according to male and female.

After the separation, artificial ovulation and fertilization were carried out.

The egg-laying capacity of plum fish is not high, so they caught them one by one and slowly ovulated them.

Mother Lin held a female fish weighing three or four pounds and asked, "Why doesn't this fish have any eggs?"

"I guess it has already laid eggs in the reservoir." Lin Heng looked at it and said.

"That's fine. It's good to have more fish in the reservoir." Mother Lin nodded.

After a while, more than 40 plum fish in the net cage were caught to complete ovulation and fertilization.

The eggs obtained were not many, only about 20,000, and it was hard to say how many plum fish could be produced in the future.

"Do you want to catch some more? And get a batch to eat by the way." Father Lin looked at Lin Heng and asked.

Lin Heng thought about it and agreed, "Then catch it in a few days."

These two days are not good, because the child's full moon day is in two days, and then the family will definitely celebrate.

After these fish laid eggs, Lin Heng put them and the more than 1,000 small fish fry into the reservoir to let them move freely. There is a wire mesh at the outlet of the reservoir, so there is no need to worry about them escaping.

On the way down the mountain, Lin's father looked at Lin Heng and said, "Son, should we prune the fruit trees these days? These fruit trees have grown very lush last year."

They didn't know how to prune fruit trees, and they didn't understand those professional books.

"Then let's do it in the afternoon. I'll teach you how to prune first." Lin Heng nodded.

Back at the foot of the mountain, Lin Heng poured the fish eggs into the hatching pond. Now he just had to wait for them to hatch slowly. The water temperature in the room was six degrees Celsius, which was the right temperature for hatching. It would take about a month to hatch.

It was still early after getting the fish, so Lin Heng went to check the shrimp pond to see if it needed to be cleaned.

It was already noon when he finished looking around. When he went back with his parents, Xiulan had already prepared the meal.

"Is the hatching pond for plum fish ready?" Xiulan asked curiously while eating.

Lin Heng nodded and said, "Yes, I will go to prune the branches of the fruit trees in the afternoon. I will go to Heihe to catch some plum fish in a few days. It is easy for plum fish to survive in transportation at this temperature. Do you want to join us?"

Compared to summer, there is no need to worry about the plum fish dying due to high temperature during transportation. You just need to provide oxygen.

"Forget it, I will go when it is warm in spring. I can't take the children out now." Xiulan shook her head. She wanted to go out for a walk. She was pregnant at home for a year last year.

"Then wait until spring, I will take you and the children to go outing." Lin Heng thought for a while and said. He didn't dare to let the children go out now. Once the children caught a cold, it would be very troublesome.

But after eating and feeding the children, Xiulan could go to the fields with them. The apple orchard and vineyard were not far away.

It is relatively simple to prune such a small apple tree. Just remove the strong branches to make it grow evenly, reduce some inner branches, and ensure the ventilation of the plants.

Lin Heng demonstrated it, and then everyone almost learned it. They took the pruning shears and started pruning. This was a very stress-relieving job. They finished pruning the eight acres of apple trees here in one afternoon.

There are still two acres on the top of the mountain, so they will go there in a few days.

After breakfast the next day, they went to prune the grapes again. The pruning of grapes mainly involves shortening, thinning, and thinning. Basically, they leave a shorter main stem and cut off all other branches.

In this way, the new branches that grow this year will be much stronger, and if you want to eat grapes, you can bear fruit. But this is an orchard, and they must maintain the tree vigor for another year. By the end of the year, they can start to build grape racks, and next year they can produce melons and grapes.

As for the apple trees, they will have to grow for another two or three years. Now the trunk is only three centimeters in diameter.

The speed of pruning these fruit trees was very fast, and it was finished in one morning. In the afternoon, they also helped the eldest brother's family prune kiwis.

The basic principle is similar to that of grapes. Leave a main stem, thin out the branches, remove the branches that are too dense in the same direction, and cut off the old branches and broken branches.

Because you only need to prune, you don't have to do other work, and the work speed is very fast.

After returning in the afternoon, Lin Heng also pruned the fruit trees on the back mountain. He mainly did dwarfing treatment and left a lot of fruit branches. He planned to let these fruit trees have a small amount of fruits this year, so that they can eat fruits freely.

The next day was March 5th, which was also the day when Lin Heng's two sons were full of one month. The two little guys have been very healthy and there were no problems.

Under normal circumstances, people would celebrate at this time. Lin Heng didn't want to have a big banquet, so he just celebrated it himself on this day.

After getting up in the morning and having breakfast, he prepared meals. Even if it was his family celebrating, he had to prepare a table of good dishes.

However, when it was almost noon, Lin Heng's third father and third mother came with gifts. After a while, his three uncles also came, followed by his uncle and aunt, and finally the village party secretary and village chief, as well as Wang Zhou and Liu Cihua.

Five more distant relatives came later, and they all came with valuable gifts to congratulate.

Lin Heng never took the initiative to spread the news, but his current status is different from before, and everyone would take the initiative to inquire about this kind of news. Lin Heng naturally couldn't drive people away when they took the initiative to come. Fortunately, there was enough meat and other things, so he prepared five tables of dishes to entertain everyone.

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when he finished. Lin Heng sat on the sofa, drank a sip of tea, and shook his head, saying: "It's really tiring, so many people came at once."

In order to entertain so many people, the roe deer meat was eaten up, and there was not much bear meat left. Now there are only some bones left in the freezer.

"The gifts are all for children to eat, Xiaoxia will have a good time again." Xiulan said while sorting things.

"How much is the red envelope?" Lin Heng asked curiously. Except for the gifts from the relatives who came later, the red envelopes given by his relatives were all small.

"They should have discussed it well. All the red envelopes are five yuan. Seven families get 35 yuan." Xiulan said.

"The gifts are not small." Lin Heng smiled. In this era, many gifts in rural areas are rice and flour. The better ones will give white sugar and biscuits. Those who give money are particularly important.

He doesn't really care about these, but when you reach a certain social status, everyone will do this unconsciously.

Xiaoxia climbed onto Lin Heng's lap and sat down, saying in a delicate voice: "Dad, grandma said that tomorrow is the Lantern Festival. Can I have a birthday?"

"Xiaoxia remembers all this, of course you can have a birthday." Lin Heng said with a smile.
