Era: Started from raising livestock in the mountains

"Then I'm going to rest." Lin Heng nodded and said, he was really tired.

After a brief wash, Lin Heng went back to the house to rest, took off his clothes and fell asleep.

When he woke up, it was already past four in the afternoon. Looking at the dim sky outside, he shook his head and walked out.

"It's raining again!" Lin Heng said in surprise, having not noticed this yet in the house.

"It started to rain not long after you slept." Xiulan replied.

"Where is the cold medicine I bought in the city? I feel like I have a fever." Lin Heng looked at Xiulan and asked.

"It's in the small cabinet. You should take your temperature first." Xiulan took out the thermometer from the small cabinet in her bedroom.

Lin Heng sat in the main room and took a test and found that he had a slight fever. He felt helpless. His physical condition was always very good, but he didn't expect that he caught a fish last night and caught a cold.

"It must be because you slept hot and cold last night. You drank the fever medicine yourself, and I'll get you some ginger juice and brown sugar water."

Xiulan said as she got up and went to the kitchen. She cut ginger slices and brown sugar and put them in a clay pot for hot milk tea, then put them on the fireplace to cook.

Lin Heng drank some antipyretic medicine, and after a while drank ginger juice and brown sugar water.

"Are you feeling better? Do you still need to rest?" Xiulan asked after watching him finish his drink.

"It's okay, my head doesn't hurt now." Lin Heng shook his head.

Xiulan smiled playfully: "Then take a look at your two sons. I'm going to wash the diapers."

"Watch me wash it, I'm afraid the cold will be transmitted to them both." Lin Heng said, he was not sure if he had a cold.

"That's okay, I'll tell you how to wash it." Xiulan didn't refuse.

Xiulan's diaper was already soaked. Lin Heng just added some hot water and washed it according to Xiulan's instructions.

He works patiently and is not like a young man who is careless. Xiulan is very satisfied.

After washing, hang it on the wooden shelf next to the fireplace. It will dry in a few hours.

"Drink some water."

Lin Heng sat on the sofa, and Xiulan handed him a glass of water.

The two children moved in the cradle, looking at everything outside with clear eyes. They would smile silly when they saw Lin Heng waving.

Xiaoxia was playing with several puppies on the mat next to her. She was very happy to entertain herself with the puppies.

Lin Heng drank some water, rested for a while, and then went to the door to look at the rain.

The rain is very cold. Although the Waking of Insects has passed, it has not yet reached the Spring Equinox, and the Qingming Festival is still a month away, so the weather is not much different from winter.

He wore the mille-layer cloth shoes made by Xiulan and did not go out. The shoes would rot easily if they got wet.

"The seedlings can be raised by the middle of the month." Lin Heng said with emotion.

"Dad, I want to plant sunflowers this year!" Xiaoxia suddenly stood up and said.

"Why do you want to plant sunflowers?" Lin Heng looked at her curiously.

When it rained, Laifu also ran into the house, where several puppies were nursing. Xiongba looked on, looking very bored.

"The painting my aunt gave me has sunflowers on it. She said the sunflowers will find the sun on their own, which is really beautiful." Xiaoxia said, tilting her head and waving her little hands.

"Okay, I'll take you to plant sunflowers in a few days." Lin Heng touched his daughter's little head.

After watching the rain for a while, Lin Heng turned around and went to the study again, wrote the novel he conceived, and brought a book to the living room to read.

Compared to the living room, the study is still too cold.

It was getting dark in a blink of an eye. Xiulan looked at Lin Heng and said, "I'm going to cook. You look after the child."

"Steam the fish I brought back and let's eat it tonight." Lin Heng said.

"I know." Xiulan said and went to the kitchen.

Lin Heng looked at the two little guys and played with them to prevent them from falling asleep, lest they stay up all night.

The strategy adopted now is to try not to let the children sleep in the afternoon, so that they can be easily coaxed to sleep at night.

Xiulan had the rice ready at around seven o'clock, but instead of steaming fish, she cooked mushroom fish soup.

In addition, I also got a box of fried pork with sour radish and a stir-fried cabbage.

Xiaoxia likes to eat fish and cabbage. After eating some rice, she eats cabbage and fish. Xiulan ate a little of everything, but not much. Lin Heng gave her a bowl of fish, and the three of them finished the dish in the evening.

After dinner, Lin Heng wanted to rest, but Xiaoxia asked him to read, so he had to lie in bed and read a novel for more than an hour. He drank two glasses of water, and both Xiulan and Xiaoxia listened with gusto.

Early the next morning, Lin Heng's symptoms had basically disappeared. Apart from a sore throat, he had no other problems.

The spring rain was still falling outside, leaving the family inside. Lin Heng didn't want to read much today and started trying to train six puppies.

They are already two months old and fully trainable. After a morning of training, the intelligence of these dogs has been basically determined.

The smartest one is the little puppy with green pupils and black and yellow hair, which looks very similar to Xiongba. Next are the little white dogs, one with black and white hair, and one with black and yellow hair.

The two guys with gray hair were the most disobedient. At first, Lin Heng thought they were the largest and looked like wolf cubs, so he had high hopes for them. But now it seems that these two guys are not wolf cubs, but like huskies.

He is a fat man who eats very well, he is very good at grabbing food, and he looks very handsome, but he has no obedience to orders.

In the whole morning, other dogs knew the most basic commands of sit down and hold paw, but these two idiots didn't know it at all, and they ran away to play and play at every turn.

Lin Heng had no choice but to eat lunch and prepare to continue training in the afternoon. His dog training skills were average, but he bought relevant books and followed the books.

There was nothing going on at Hongfeng Mountain recently, so he stayed at home with his children and wife, and occasionally went out hunting.

"Dong Dong Dong!"

"Brother Lin, it's me!"

Lin Heng was training the dog, and Lin Hai's call came from outside.

He got up to open the door, and several puppies followed him. After opening the door, Lin Hai stood outside, holding a bag of lotus roots in his hand.

Seeing Lin Heng, Lin Hai smiled and said, "Brother Lin Heng, I can't finish the lotus roots at home, so I'll bring some for you."

"Thank you, come in and sit down." Lin Heng patted his shoulder and took him into the house.

"What have you been doing at home recently?" Lin Heng asked as he walked.

Lin Hai smiled and replied: "I didn't do anything. I just dug a pond with my dad at home. Now the second pond has been dug out. It's the lotus root field of more than half an acre that we dug. These are the lotus roots dug out."

"Is that so? It seems that you have really made up your mind." Lin Heng said while pouring him two cups of tea.

Drinking tea and chatting, they talked about digging ponds to raise shrimps and then talked about his kiwi fruit orchard.

"Brother Lin Heng, how come you and your sister-in-law have such a good relationship? I haven't heard of any conflicts between you." Lin Hai asked curiously after taking a sip of water. He is now particularly envious of Lin Heng and Chen Xiulan, the brother and sister-in-law. It's so good that they live in harmony.

"Not that there is no, but Xiulan has a good personality and doesn't care about me." Lin Heng smiled.

Xiulan's stable mood and gentle personality are the key to all this. Otherwise, even if he has a good temper, if he meets a crazy woman who gets angry at any time, he will definitely quarrel or even fight. This kind of thing is a two-way thing.

Of course, in addition to this, there is another important point, that is, a harmonious sexual life between husband and wife.

Xiulan looked at Lin Heng and blinked, but didn't say anything.

Without giving Lin Hai a chance to speak, Lin Heng smiled again and said, "What's wrong? Are you and Tian Yan having a quarrel?"

"You should have known about this brother Lin for a long time. She went to the city to teach a few days ago." Lin Hai's expression was a little bitter.

Lin Heng looked at him: "You are a little too stingy. It's a good thing for her to go to the city to teach. Why do you want to stop her?"

Lin Hai was silent for a while and said, "It's just... I just had a brain seizure at that time!"

However, experienced people like Xiulan and Lin Heng can see what's going on at a glance. It's obviously caused by inferiority.

He was afraid that Tian Yan would leave him after seeing someone better in the city, so he had been quarreling with her during the New Year and didn't want her to go to the city.

"Let's go out for a walk." Lin Heng patted his shoulder and said.

After going out, there was no one else, so Lin Hai got anxious. He looked at Lin Heng and said, "Brother Lin, what do you think I should do? I seem to have really pissed off Tian Yan this time. She didn't even tell me when she left."

Lin Heng looked at him and shook his head and said, "It's not your inferiority complex that's at work. Let her go, and you can go to the city, work hard to make money, and we can meet every day."

Lin Hai was a little at a loss: "I don't know what to do if I go to the city!"

"I'll tell you one more thing, women all admire strong men, you have to at least work hard to make progress, otherwise people will only look down on you more and more."

Lin Heng patted his shoulder, paused and continued, "As for you not knowing what to do, what can't you do now? Reselling some small commodities, doing manual labor, as long as you work hard, there are many jobs you can do."

"I know, then I'll go back first." Lin Hai nodded, and walked towards the house with a thoughtful face.

Lin Heng looked at him and didn't provide too much help. Although he was a playmate since childhood, he was not a babysitter. At most, he could show you a way. It was up to him to do it.

If he could really endure hardships in the city and make a name for himself, he could call him to help when his feed factory opened.

"Lin Hai left? You didn't invite him to dinner?"

Seeing Lin Heng coming back, Xiulan asked curiously.

"I guess he's not in the mood to eat." Lin Heng said with a smile, and then told Xiulan about the content of the persuasion.

After listening, Xiulan said: "Tian Yan actually cares about him very much. It depends on what he thinks. We shouldn't get involved too much."

"I think so too." Lin Heng nodded and continued to train the puppy.

The rain got heavier at night and stopped early the next morning. There was a lot of rain in early spring this year, and everyone was very happy, which meant that it was likely to be a bumper year.

Lin Heng estimated that it would be easier to pick mushrooms this year, which made him look forward to it.

The next morning, the sky was clear, blue and cloudless. The sun came out after a long absence, and I felt the long-lost warmth outdoors.

Lin Heng lived his life as usual. He went to Hongfeng Mountain to check the hatching of cattle, sheep and fish eggs. Whether the fish eggs had started to hatch or died could be seen with the naked eye.

After checking the fish eggs, the weather was good today, so Lin's father called him to go herd cattle together and asked Lin's mother to help take care of the children.

Lin Heng did not refuse, and took Xiongba and four obedient puppies with him, and also took Xiaoxia, who wanted to stick to her.

Xiongba led his sons to herd cattle and sheep on the mountain, and Lin Heng also taught them. He found that the green-eyed puppy learned really fast, and drove the cattle and sheep with a roar.

The other three were mostly playing, and they had a lot of fun with Xiaoxia.

On the way back in the afternoon, Lin Heng was stopped by the village chief Tian Dongfu: "Lin Heng, let's go to my house and let's talk about things."

"Okay." Lin Heng did not refuse and took Xiaoxia to Tian Dongfu's house.

He got a cup of tea for Lin and some food for Xiaoxia, and said with a smile: "I'm looking for you mainly for two things. One is to deal with the cooperative, and the other is to buy seeds. Didn't you buy them last year?" The harvest of seeds is so good that everyone in the village wants you to buy the same seeds as last year.”

Lin Heng took a sip of tea and said, "There's no problem with the seeds. I'm going to buy them in the next few days. I can bring a batch for everyone. How are we going to deal with the cooperative?"

"After what you said last time, I thought about it comprehensively and found that planting Panax notoginseng is good." Tian Dongfu said with a smile.

Lin Heng asked again: "What about the specific cooperation methods?"

Tian Dongfu said: "Well, I want you to provide seeds, and the villagers will take them back to their own land for planting. The final crops will be sold by the villagers. You will take 20% of the money earned, and the rest will be divided according to each family's ratio. distribution."

"I think this is difficult to handle. Uncle Tian, ​​why don't you find a way to get a loan to do this? I'm afraid I can't support it alone." Lin Heng thought for a while and said, it's not that he has no confidence in Tian Dongfu, but in the villagers. .

"If we get a loan, I guess there will be fewer people willing to plant." Tian Dongfu said helplessly.

"Well, Uncle Tian, ​​if you wait for two or three years, I will give you my full support. Now I also need money." Lin Heng said with a smile, it would not be a problem to support him when his career takes off. It would be too expensive to invest now.

Seeing that Lin Heng was not interested in this, Tian Dongfu had no choice but to say: "Let's discuss this later. You can buy some grain seeds."

"That's no problem." Lin Heng nodded in agreement.

After saying that, he took Xiaoxia and left the village party secretary's house. It was almost dark when he returned.

Xiulan's meal was almost done in the room. When she saw him coming back, she asked curiously, "Why did you come back so late?"

"I'm going to the village party secretary's house." Lin Heng briefly explained the matter and said that he would go to the city to buy seeds in the next two days.

Xiulan said: "Just buy the seeds. I don't think it's reliable to set up a cooperative. If the people in the village want to cheat in the future, they can go to the Sanqi Village Committee to sell the seeds. They can't control so many people." Human?"

"I think so too." Lin Heng nodded. The legal system is not yet complete, and it is easy to lose everything in this kind of cooperation.

At first, he was quite optimistic, because as long as they really cooperated, not only would the villagers become rich, but he would also be able to make a lot of money.

But the difficulty lies in making people keep their promises. It is estimated that few people can keep their promises when it comes to money.

After dinner, Lin Heng and Xiulan discussed going to the city on their own the day after tomorrow, but something unexpected happened the next afternoon, causing him to change his itinerary.
