Era: Started from raising livestock in the mountains

The next morning, Lin Heng slept until nine o'clock. Feeling Xiulan next to him, he slept particularly soundly.

Of course, part of this was caused by the fact that the little head controlled the big head yesterday, which made him even more tired.

"I'll get up first. The baby needs to change diapers and feed. You should sleep a little longer."

At nine o'clock, Xiulan looked at the watch and said.

"I'll get up too. After eating, lying on the sofa is also a rest." Lin Heng thought about it, got up and said.

"That's fine." Xiulan smiled. She fed the baby first and called Xiaoxia to get up.

The three of them went out to exercise in the front yard, and Caiyun followed them. She felt that Xiulan's Tai Chi was very soft and beautiful, and wanted to learn from her.

"Auntie, I'll teach you. I'm the best."

Xiaoxia said seriously while doing a clumsy Tai Chi.

"Okay, I'll learn from Xiaoxia." Caiyun agreed with a smile.

After exercising for half an hour, everyone sweated a little, and then went to get water to wash.

After Xiulan finished washing up, she went to the closet and found a floral short skirt with yellow flowers and put it on. She also changed her upper body into a white short-sleeved shirt.

Her hair was tied into a high ponytail, and a strand of hair was left by her ears to modify her face shape.

Lin Heng didn't change his clothes and wore the black shorts and a white short-sleeved shirt he wore last night.

He was a little surprised to see Xiulan coming out of the bedroom. She put on a little makeup to embellish herself. In the sun, she had a bright eye, white teeth, and a youthful and moving feeling.

But speaking of it, she is only 24 years old this year, the age of a flower.

"Let's go, milk the cows, why are you standing there stupidly?" Xiulan reached out and pulled him.

"Oh, okay."

Lin Heng came back to his senses and went to the back mountain with her.

Xiulan went to milk the cows, Lin Heng fed the chickens and let them go, and then went to the orchard to take a look.

In the orchard, there are still pears and apples, among which the pears are very ripe, and some will fall in a gust of wind.

Lin Heng picked up seven or eight intact pears under the tree in a short while.

"Too many, pick some more and take them back, I'll make autumn pear paste later."

Xiulan said to him while milking the cows, she knew what Lin Heng was doing.

"Okay." Lin Heng nodded, shook the tree again, and the ripe ones fell down.

After practicing a total of more than a dozen fist-sized pears, he went to get a basket to put them.

After he finished, he came to help Xiulan milk the cows. Milking cows is hard work and not easy.

"Let's get some August melons to make jam in the next two days. This year, we have a freezer that can keep it longer, and milk with some jam and cream to make ice cream is also very good."

Watching Lin Heng milking the cows, Xiulan said.

"Okay, there are a lot of August melons this year, let's pick them tomorrow." Lin Heng nodded and agreed.

"Okay, let's go tomorrow morning." Xiulan agreed.

After squeezing the milk, Lin Heng walked behind Xiulan. The breeze blew up her skirt, exposing her snow-white legs, which always made people have a strange desire to explore.

Back in the house, Xiulan made a simple potato pancake, and Lin Heng made a milk tea. The rest, except for the one he took to his parents, was used to make cream.

Cream making is very simple. Boil the milk until it is almost boiling and then let it cool, and the cream will condense on the top.

After breakfast, Xiulan started to braise the meat. Lin Heng helped her to prepare all the internal organs and roe deer meat to be braised, and then took Xiaoxia to Hongfeng Mountain.

Lin Heng brought the milk over. Lin's father and mother were cutting grass. Recently, the grass can be harvested again. They cut part of it to dry and feed part of it to cattle and sheep.

There is still a lot of silage, so there is no need to make it for the time being.

Lin Heng put the milk in the house and took Xiaoxia to see the cattle and sheep. Most of the female black goats had their stomachs erect, and they would give birth in the next month.

The nine Qingchuan cows next to them have reached the age of pregnancy. If they are in heat at the end of the year, they can be bred.

Coming out of the pen, Lin Heng walked up to his father and said, "These ewes are not well taken care of. Have they not been fed corn paste?"

Before Lin's father spoke, Lin's mother spoke first: "Don't beat around the bush here. I just offended your wife. What's wrong with not wanting to feed corn? Are you here to beat me up?"

Her tone was dissatisfied, and she squinted at Lin Heng.

"I am indeed here to talk about this, mom. Your idea of ​​saving doesn't work. I know you have developed this since childhood, but it doesn't work now."

"Why doesn't it work?" Lin's mother was disdainful.

"Then mom, tell me, have you saved more than I earn in a month in all these years?" Lin Heng asked back.

"If you don't feed the ewes more good things, won't you lose more if they have a difficult birth or a stillbirth?" Lin Heng asked again.

"Xiu Lan saw that you were working hard alone, so she came to help you. Why did you have to scold her?" Lin Heng said a little angrily. He felt that his mother's attitude was very problematic.

He understood that it might be that his mother had reached menopause, and sometimes this would happen. He understood but also had to let his mother know right from wrong.

"Okay, okay, you are awesome. You are the best at forgetting your mother after having a wife." Mother Lin walked into the house angrily.

"This is not a matter of forgetting or not. I hope you won't do this in the future. If you have anything to say, talk it over. What I hate most is making trouble without reason. You didn't teach us this when we were young, did you?"

Lin Heng finished his words while watching his mother walking into the house.

In fact, he had thought of a set of euphemisms, but Mother Lin interrupted and admitted it directly, making him too lazy to beat around the bush.

He also had to establish his own authority. After all, he was already the actual leader of the family. He had to be fair and just as the head of the family, so that there would be less complaints among family members.

This is just like parents should treat their children equally, and not treat them differently, otherwise they will only suffer the consequences in the end.

The best example is his grandmother. If she hadn't treated him differently and favored his eldest father since he was a child, the relationship between the two families would not be like this now.

"Your mother may be uncomfortable these two days. She had a quarrel with me last night." Lin's father whispered beside him.

"I know, Dad, I have to make it clear. My mother is wrong, and if Xiulan is wrong, I won't favor Xiulan."

Lin Heng looked at his father and said, then said, "Let's have a good rest today. The crops will be harvested in two days. We won't have a barbecue this afternoon. My mother will probably be unhappy if we come here like this."

After that, he turned and left. He wanted to stay longer, but now he doesn't want to stay.

This kind of thing is also very painful for him. He doesn't want to talk about his mother who gave birth to him, but he can't help but say it.

Fortunately, Xiulan is not the kind of person with unstable emotions and mood swings, otherwise this matter would be even more difficult to deal with.

When men reach the age of being the master of the family, they will inevitably encounter these problems, and some men are often forced to collapse at this time. Not only do they have to face the problem of supporting the family and making money, but they also have to solve the quarrels between family members.

It is often at this stage that men understand how important it is to marry a virtuous wife.

"Dad, is grandma angry?"

After walking out of Hongfeng Mountain, Xiaoxia asked tentatively. She was a little scared of the quarrel just now.

Lin Heng touched her face and said, "Xiaoxia, remember, the most important thing for a person is to love yourself. Don't be unreasonable just because you are a girl. You should talk about right and wrong when doing things. For example, your grandma is wrong but unreasonable."

He hopes that whether it is his daughter or son, they must first love themselves, be reasonable, and not be unreasonable. Only when people love themselves first can they have the ability to love others.

Of course, what he said is self-love, not self-esteem. People should have a heart to cherish themselves, not think they are noble.

"I understand, Dad. I won't learn from grandma." Xiaoxia nodded and leaned her little head on Lin Heng's shoulder, as obedient as a kitten.

"Let's go and find you a wax gourd."

Lin Heng held his daughter and walked on the road for a while. When he saw the red wax gourd on the tree outside the road, Xiaoxia saw it at first sight and pointed it out: "Dad, there are some."

"I saw it. Stand still and don't move."

Lin Heng put his daughter down, walked down and climbed up the tree and barely reached two and picked them.

"Dad is so awesome, I love Dad!"

Xiaoxia saw that Lin Heng had picked the wax gourd and waved her little hands happily.

"Here, I'll give you a bite. Remember to spit out the seeds."

Lin Heng broke the wax gourd open and took a bite himself to demonstrate, then fed Xiaoxia a bite.

Xiaoxia sucked it, spit out a lot of seeds, and then laughed happily.

"Come on, another bite."

Lin Heng smiled and fed his daughter another bite. Seeing his daughter spitting out seeds happily, his originally bad mood also improved.

After returning home with his daughter and pushing open the gate of the yard, a strong smell of stewed food wafted out.

"Why did you come back so soon?"

Xiulan, who was sitting on the sofa, asked curiously.

"I came back because I didn't work. Also, we won't go to eat barbecue in the afternoon. We can eat at home." Lin Heng sighed and sat down, putting his daughter next to him.

"You really went to tell mom, I said it's okay and it's over." Xiulan guessed why at once, and looked at him helplessly.

"Second brother, you are so brave." Caiyun gave a thumbs up.

Lin Heng looked at Xiulan and smiled: "Next time you do something wrong, I will also tell you. Of course, if I do something wrong, you can also tell me."

"You, I told you not to tell mom, it will be fine after a few days." Xiulan looked at him, thinking about how to help them ease the relationship between mother and son, so worried.

"Don't say it, clean my ears for me." Lin Heng said while holding her hand, not wanting to discuss this headache.

"Okay."

Xiu Lan opened the drawer of the coffee table and took out the tools. She sat on the sofa. Lin Heng lay on her thighs and turned sideways so that one side fit her thighs.

After enjoying his wife cleaning his ears for a while, Lin Heng went to the bathroom to write. Suddenly, he had an inspiration.

He has written 20,000 words of his book. He has been polishing it. The content is very simple. It is a story about a person who lives in misery, experiences the most real and simple suffering in the world, and finally still survives.

He hasn't thought of a name yet. Anyway, he just writes it for fun, completely according to his inner feelings and ideas.

He doesn't want to be a plagiarist, otherwise there are too many good literary works that have not yet been born to copy.

He stopped after writing 3,000 words, opened the cabinet and looked at the ginseng in the glass bottle in the secret compartment.

The ginseng is intact, with wrinkled skin, revealing a sense of oldness.

After taking a look, Lin Heng put it back to its original place. He is not going to sell it for the time being.

Along with the ginseng, there were three boxes of Angong Niuhuang Pills and a stack of stamps kept in a plastic bag. These were collected by Lin Heng when he came to the city in the past two years. In addition to the ordinary ones, there were also ten monkey stamps and three red stamps.

In those days, stamps were just normal bills for mailing letters, and no one thought they would be worth so much money in the future.

He has been deliberately collecting these things. This is the simplest investment. Just store them and wait for the price to rise later.

After taking a look, he closed the secret compartment, and then looked at the Boshan furnace, chicken blood stone and other things on display.

If nothing unexpected happens, these will be very valuable in the future.

In addition, there is a batch of porcelain that was exchanged before upstairs. He doesn't know whether it is real or not. He plans to find an opportunity to go to Ancheng to find someone to identify it.

Lin Heng came out and saw that the milk boiled in the morning had condensed into cream, so he put it in the freezer to speed up the process.

"The roe deer meat is braised. Do you want to try it?"

Xiulan walked out of the kitchen and asked with a smile.

"Here it is." Lin Heng walked over with a smile, and Xiulan cut a small piece for him.

"Well... delicious, just like braised beef, the taste is more delicate." Lin Heng nodded with satisfaction.

"These are all braised, and the next step is to braise the roe deer head."

Xiulan also took out the braised roe deer viscera and put them in a bamboo sieve to cool.

Lin Heng had cooked the roe deer head in the evening. Now Xiulan just needed to add some ingredients and throw it in to stew.

"Let's have noodles for lunch. I'll cut some braised meat and we can get some sweet wine, how about that?"

While stewing the roe deer head, Xiulan looked at Lin Heng who was eating secretly.

"Okay, okay."

Lin Heng nodded repeatedly. The braised roe deer meat was so fragrant.

After lunch, Xiulan changed into a pair of trousers and went to the river with Caiyun to wash clothes. Lin Heng was too lazy to go, so he just lay at home to take care of the children.

He was very bored and fell asleep in a short while. When he woke up again, he would be woken up by the knocking on the door.

"I'm coming."

Lin Heng looked at the watch and it was already two o'clock, so he went to open the door.

"Second brother, mom asked us to have a barbecue in the afternoon."

After opening the door, Caiyun looked at Lin Heng and said.

Lin Heng looked at Xiulan and said unhappy: "Did you go and reconcile with mom? Don't admit your mistakes like she did. If you admit your mistakes, she will subconsciously think that you are really wrong."

"Hurry up and bring me the clothes, let's talk in the house."

Xiulan handed him a basket of wet clothes and said with a smile.

Lin Heng's attitude made her very happy. Her man was really good to her.

"It was mom who came to apologize to me. We went to wash clothes together. She said she was in a bad mood that day and asked me not to care about it and she would not say these things in the future."

Xiulan closed the door and walked into the house and said softly.

"Yes, grandma admitted her mistakes." Xiaoxia also nodded.

"In that case, then okay, let's go over to barbecue in the afternoon." Lin Heng nodded and said.

Xiulan nodded while hanging clothes: "The roe deer head should be braised, take it over to eat in the afternoon."

"It's braised."

Lin Heng nodded and helped to put the clothes together.

Back in the house, Xiulan changed into a floral short skirt again and sat on the sofa to cool down with the fan.

Lin Heng went to get the roe deer head, which was split in half and was completely braised.
