Era: Started from raising livestock in the mountains

After a while, a black goat finished giving birth and began to expel the placenta. This goat gave birth to two black lambs, both of which were very healthy.

After the fetal fluids on their bodies were licked clean, they stood up one after another, screamed, and ran to drink milk.

"It's a good start. The first one gave birth to two beautiful cubs." Father Lin said happily.

"Indeed, these two lambs are quite strong." Lin Heng nodded.

On the other side, there was a black goat that had also given birth to two babies, but one of them didn't stand up for a long time, but it didn't seem to be a big problem.

This third lamb was different. It shocked the two of them because after giving birth to the third lamb, it actually started giving birth to a fourth lamb.

"This sheep is so prosperous, it laid four at once."

Father Lin was a little shocked when he saw it.

"It's really rare to have four lambs at once, but the lambs are a bit thin." Lin Heng nodded. These four lambs were obviously smaller than the other lambs.

But it doesn't matter. As long as you are healthy, this thinness can be made up for by feeding.

After the sheep expelled the placenta, Lin Heng and his father went in to pick up the placenta. Later, they took it, cooked it, chopped it and put it into corn mush to feed the sheep.

The three ewes will be kept in this compartment for the time being and will be put back after they are fed.

Seeing the father and son coming down, Mother Lin asked, "How's it going? Did it go well?"

"It went very smoothly. Two of them gave birth to two cubs, and one gave birth to four cubs." Father Lin grinned.

Mother Lin was also surprised when she heard this: "A litter of four, that's a really prosperous family."

"I'm going to shovel some cornmeal to feed." Lin Heng didn't say much and went to cook cornmeal for the sheep.

After putting the corn paste into the pot, he chopped up the placenta with leather gloves and threw it in to add some protein to the sheep.

After it was done, he left, and his dad would just go and feed it as soon as it cooled down.

After returning home, Lin Heng told Xiulan about the situation here. Xiulan was very happy with such good news and said with a smile: "Even if each sheep only gives birth to two, the total number will be one hundred, which can be sold." That’s a lot of money.”

"I'm sure you will become a rich woman in a few years." Lin Heng said with a smile.

Xiaoxia innocently interjected from the side: "Dad, I also want to be a rich woman!"

"Okay, I'll make you a rich woman then." Lin Heng smiled and touched her head.

"It doesn't matter whether you are rich or not. As long as you have enough money, you won't have to worry about life."

Xiulan said something and then added, "I'll make noodles and make cucumber shreds for lunch."

"Okay, I'll help you later."

Lin Heng nodded.

Xiulan cut the cucumber into strips, and Lin Heng ate one of the remaining cucumbers, and threw the rest away to feed the cattle in the back mountain.

The noodles are cold and delicious when eaten with cucumber shreds.

After eating, Lin Heng rested at home for a while, and then went to the back mountain to clean the cow pens for the cows. He dug holes around the fruit trees and buried all the cow dung in them.

This will not smell bad and can also promote the growth of fruit trees.

Father Lin was asking people to help threshing rice in the afternoon. His family now only has four and a half acres, so he didn't need so many people, so he just hired ten people.

In the evening, two more sheep gave birth. Lin Heng went to help take care of them. Both of these sheep only gave birth to two lambs, which was relatively normal.

Early the next morning, the family started threshing rice. Lin Heng and Xiulan took their children to Hongfeng Mountain after breakfast. He was responsible for taking care of the cattle and sheep, and Xiulan took her three children and two from her sister-in-law's family.

"Son, a sheep gave birth last night in the middle of the night. I just found out this morning that three of them were born. One of them died and I don't know how." Mother Lin looked at Lin Heng and said.

Lin Heng thought for a while and said: "Then it is probably a natural stillbirth or suffocation by fetal fluid. It is unlikely to be trampled."

There are five ewes in a sheepfold of 18 square meters, so it is unlikely that they will be trampled to death.

After finishing speaking, Lin Hengjiu went up to take a look and found that no sheep had given birth. He came down to help sift the rice that had been harvested and dried it on the ground.

I thought there would be two sheep giving birth today, but there was not one all morning. He helped dry the grains all morning.

After beating the rice in the afternoon, surprisingly there were no sheep. When the sun went over to help collect the rice, Lin Heng took his wife and children and ran to pick up eggs.

After picking up the eggs and carrying them back home, Xiulan planned to make scrambled eggs with Chinese toon at night. There were still many Chinese toons picked in the spring and stored in the freezer.

It was past nine o'clock after dinner. As soon as Lin Heng finished telling Xiaoxia a story and was getting ready to go to bed, Lin's mother called him from the backyard: "Son, two black goats have given birth. One of them has dystocia and we don't know what to do."

"It's coming, it's coming." Lin Heng replied, turning to look at Xiulan helplessly, "I'm really impressed by this sheep. I specifically choose to give birth at night."

"I'll go with you. The children are asleep and it should be fine." Xiulan said and got ready to get dressed.

Lin Heng stopped her and shook his head: "You go to bed first, there is no need for one more person to stay up late."

Xiulan wanted to be with him, but after being called "good boy" twice, she just lay on the bed obediently and refused to go.

Lin Heng put on his clothes and took the keys and went out. Mother Lin was waiting for him outside, very anxious: "This sheep is really torturing, but there is nothing we can do."

"Hurry over there." Lin Heng nodded.

The two walked quickly to Hongfeng Mountain. Lin Heng took out the oxytocin he had bought in advance from the warehouse and brought it up. He found that the black goat was indeed in labor and gave it an injection of oxytocin.

However, the effect of oxytocin was not good, and half of the output was still stuck. Lin Heng could only ask his mother to get some vegetable oil and pour it into the passage to lubricate it, and then manually pulled the lamb out.

Glancing at the delivered lamb, Lin Heng smiled and said, "It's not in vain that he's still alive."

"Just stay alive."

Father Lin and Mother Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Heng worked hard and helped deliver the other lamb in his belly. It was already early in the morning when we finished it, but there was nothing we could do, this is how breeding works.

He had no other abilities, so he could only start from the difficult industry he was most familiar with to accumulate his first pot of gold.

After taking a bath in the mountain stream, it was already one o'clock when he got home. However, when he returned home, he found that the lights in the bedroom were not turned off. When he walked in, he saw Xiulan changing the baby's diaper and feeding her baby.

"The two little guys peed again." Lin Heng came over to help. Taking care of children is also a very hard job.

Xiulan nodded: "Yes, but I have already changed and fed milk. Just help coax Lu Ming to sleep."

Lin Heng looked at Lin Luming who was moving around on the bed, picked him up, put him in the cradle next to him, and rocked him to sleep.

"When he is one year old, he can feed him milk and start to control his peeing." Lin Heng said while coaxing him to sleep.

Xiulan finished feeding Du Heng's milk, shook her head and said with a smile: "There will be more troublesome five or six year olds in the future, and it will be harder to take care of them than now."

"That's better than having to get up in the middle of the night to take care of them now. As long as you start educating them from an early age, they won't necessarily be particularly naughty." Lin Heng said, looking at his two sons.

"Look at the two little guys laughing. They don't believe it." Xiulan said softly. The five or six-year-old boy really hates dogs.

The two chatted and soon put the two little ones to sleep. After putting them in the crib, the two of them were finally able to have a good rest.

Turning off the lights, the two of them took a rest under a Xia Liang quilt. When Xiulan woke up the next morning, she put a hand on Lin Heng's neck. It was a little cold in the morning, so she pressed close to him.

"It's eight o'clock, I have to get up and help." Xiulan woke up first and woke up Lin Heng.

"It's so late."

Lin Heng yawned, hugged Xiulan into his arms, hugged her tightly and then let go. Her soft body pressing against him was also a different way of waking up.

"Get up quickly." Xiulan told him and put on her clothes one by one.

Today is his eldest brother's house, his eldest uncle, his third uncle and his younger uncle's family are all here. Their tasks were the same as yesterday. Lin Heng took care of the Hongfeng Mountain side, and Xiulan helped her sister-in-law with the children.

Lin Heng fed all the animals, but no sheep gave birth to lambs this year, and it was the same for the next two days. Father Lin and mother Lin went to other people's houses to help thresh millet, and Lin Heng watched from Hongfeng Mountain.

By the time the millet was threshed, his rice had been dried. This year’s yield was not as good as last year’s. One acre only produced 900 jins of rice, while four and a half acres produced 4,000 jins of rice.

But the people in the village were very happy. They used the new rice seeds and expected a bumper harvest than in previous years.

When the rice harvest in the village was almost finished and everyone had some free time, Lin Heng called people over to help collect astragalus seeds. More than 130 kilograms of astragalus seeds were harvested from ten acres of land in Hongfeng Mountain. In addition to the previous three One hundred pounds.

In addition, his third father, uncle, and uncle were also harvesting astragalus seeds. He collected the seeds at a low price. The three families collected 350 kilograms of astragalus seeds, and his own family collected a total of 580 kilograms.

After the seeds were harvested, people were asked to help dig up the astragalus root, plant it and bury it deeply, and then help harvest the grass.

Lin Heng didn't go anywhere for more than half a month, so he helped deliver the sheep at home. It wasn't until September 20th that all 25 ewes gave birth.

These days, sheep often give birth at night or in the morning, so he doesn't get much sleep.

At noon on the 20th, Lin Heng and his father came to the sheepfold with fodder. After feeding the cattle and sheep, they counted the number of lambs again.

After counting, Father Lin asked: "57 lambs, right?"

"That's right, 57." Lin Heng nodded. There should have been 61 sheep, but four of them died. This is inevitable in breeding. No matter how well you take care of it, various accidents will always happen.

"When these little guys grow up, our family will have more than a hundred sheep." Father Lin said happily.

Lin Heng said as he walked out: "Yes, I will take a few days off to find an excavator to dig the foundation."

The busy autumn farming season is now almost over. Most of the crops that need to be harvested have been harvested. What is left is to dig sweet potatoes and harvest soybeans, which are not very large, and then start planting rape and wheat.

"It's time to rest for two days. I'm going to find time to go fishing by myself." Father Lin said with a smile. He was tired from working all the time.

"If you have more entertainment, you won't be able to finish your work." Lin Heng nodded.

The two of them went down the mountain while talking. Lin Heng took a ripe cantaloupe and walked back.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is on the 29th of this month, and there are still nine days left. The mountains are still green now, and the leaves will not turn yellow until mid-to-late October, which is when they go hunting for bears.

In the house, Xiulan was tidying up the vegetable patch, pulling out the green beans and planting garlic, coriander and radishes.

"Is everything done over there?" she asked when she saw Lin Heng coming back.

Lin Heng nodded: "Yes, all the sheep have given birth, but the cows seem to be about to go into heat, and they will have to find a bull to breed with them."

"Then you can finally have a good rest for a few days." Xiulan nodded, and then said, "It's very simple to breed cattle. There are many big bulls in the village, all of them are yellow cattle, or you can use that bull cow for breeding."

"We'll talk about it later. After two days of rest, it's time to go to the city, sell the Ganoderma lucidum we got before, and contact an excavator to dig the foundation." Lin Heng said while helping Xiulan.

"Take your time, there is still a long time, let's do those things after the Mid-Autumn Festival." Xiulan said softly.

"That's fine, then I'll go to the city to sell Ganoderma lucidum in the next two days." Lin Heng nodded and said.

The two took the green beans and cowpeas to the back mountain and put them there. They would wait until the sun passed in the afternoon before digging the land.

Returning to the main room and calling Xiaoxia over, Lin Heng killed the Hami melon and shared it among the three people. After lunch, Lin Heng didn't want to go out in the afternoon, so he stayed at home and helped Xiulan with some trivial work.

When the sun went down, he dug the ground and planted garlic, coriander and radish with Xiulan.

After planting, the two washed their faces and sat on the bench to rest, looked at the sky for a while, and went into the house to cook together.

Lin Heng enjoyed this peaceful and quiet life. He stayed at home for another day the next day. He slept until early in the morning and played with Xiaoxia in the afternoon. The two kneaded some small animals with yellow mud and put them there to dry. They were going to paint them later.

Early in the morning on the 22nd, he called his eldest brother and father to go to the city and sell all the herbs he had dug before. Generally, he was too lazy to sell them at his own purchasing station because it was very troublesome to calculate the income.

He rarely went to the purchasing station in recent years, only once a month, and mainly relied on Caiyun to help him look at the account book.

They sold all the herbs they had made before in the city. Lin Heng's Ganoderma lucidum, other herbs and roe deer skin sold for 1,090 yuan.

Then he sold two roe deer whips to Li Chengguo, 50 yuan each, and earned 100 yuan, a total of 1,190 yuan.

After selling the two roe deer whips, he still had a bear whip and a sika deer whip at home. These things are only worth a lot of money if they are sold to people who need them, so he is not in a hurry to sell them.

He has not sold the deep mountain cold water turtle yet, and plans to wait until next time.

With this 1,000 yuan to fill the gap, the total amount of money he has now reached 20,000 yuan. This year, he spent 2,000 to 3,000 yuan on shrimp feed.

His father's things sold for 620 yuan, and his eldest brother's things sold for 510 yuan. This year, picking Ganoderma lucidum made the three of them a lot of money.

After selling the things, Lin Heng asked his father and eldest brother to buy things first, and drove to the factory to take a look. He was a little worried because he hadn't been here for a long time.

He went in and took a look to make sure everything was intact before going back. He bought daily necessities and things needed for the Mid-Autumn Festival. After these were done, Lin Heng had to deal with two very important things.
