Era: Started from raising livestock in the mountains

The crowd walked along the snow, talking constantly. When they met people, they congratulated each other and wished each other a happy new year. The children ran very fast in the snow, holding firecrackers and fireworks, and happily blasting snow.

The mountains and plains were all green, and thick ice sculptures formed on some dripping stone skins. Although the weather was cold, everyone was very happy and there was joy everywhere.

It didn't take long for them to reach the temple of Guanyin Laomu. It would be very crowded here every New Year's Day, and this year was the same.

Lin Heng and his friends were not in a hurry. They waited for a while until there were fewer people before they went to burn incense, brought some tributes, and asked for a peace charm for the children.

After returning home, they packed up a little and set off towards their uncle's house. Lin's father decided to stay at home, and Lin Heng and others could not persuade him.

"Dad, there are birds." Xiaoxia cheered on the way.

"There are squirrels here, running so fast." Lin Wei also shouted.

Lin Heng was holding his eldest son, Lin Luming. He turned his head when he heard what everyone said, and looked at the snow-covered forest curiously.

"Aba... Mommy~"

He stretched out his little hand and looked at Xiulan and her younger brother Du Heng on her back.

"What?" Xiulan smiled and winked at him.

"Hold~" Luming stretched out a little hand and said.

"I'll hold you when we get there." Xiulan came over and patted him.

The weather was a bit cold, so everyone sped up and arrived at grandma's house at ten o'clock.

Accompanied by the barking of dogs, Lu Honghai and Lu Honggang all came out.

"Happy New Year, uncle, wish you good luck and prosperity!"

"Happy New Year, third uncle!"

The children ran over first and greeted the two enthusiastically.

"Happy New Year, uncle, aunt, third uncle." Lin Heng and others came later and greeted the new year together.

"Happy New Year, come in and warm up by the fire, it's cold outside." Zhang Gaolian, the big aunt with a big belly, shouted with a smile.

"Yes, come in." Lu Honghai also said.

Everyone went in and put down the gifts they bought. Lin Heng handed some Cordyceps sinensis specially prepared for grandma to her.

"Grandma, this is what I dug on the mountain. You can soak it in water and drink it."

After going through the previous hurdle, she has recovered a lot and can eat and walk.

"My dear grandson is so good to me. Grandma hasn't finished the milk powder you brought last time."

The old family held his hand and talked for a long time. He also trembled and gave him rock sugar, and went out to give each child one.

"Oh, my twin grandchildren are so big now. They are so beautiful, just like your parents."

Seeing Lu Ming and Du Heng, she was even more happy and couldn't close her mouth. The birth of her offspring was the greatest comfort to her.

"Call me Madam!"

Lin Heng said to the two children. Here, grandmothers are called "po", and those who are twice as old are collectively called "madam".

"Madam~" Lin Luming called obediently.

"Hehe... too..." Lin Duheng laughed foolishly.

"Oh, two good grandchildren, madam wishes you good health and good health."

The new vitality of the child was transmitted to the grandmother's old body, making her smile happily. She reached out and touched the child's little face and sent out sincere blessings.

After looking at the child, the old man walked to the stove and sat down tremblingly.

Lin Heng looked at the child, looked at it again and again, and felt that this was the happiest life.

"Wife, it's great to have you."

Lin Heng smiled. He had experienced two lives and seen too many joys and sorrows. He knew very well that it was easy to marry a wife, but it was really difficult to marry such a wife who loved you and understood you.

Because Xiulan was there, even if he had seen more unhappiness and tragedy, he still believed in love and true love in the world.

Xiulan didn't say anything, but her slightly red cheeks and tender eyes were the best answer.

"You two are so loving."

Aunt Zhang Gaolian next to them noticed the interaction between the two and said with a smile.

"Yes." Lin Heng bravely admitted, Xiulan stood beside him with a smile.

Lin Heng took a child and held him, and went to the bedroom of his uncle's house with Xiulan.

The two coaxed the children to sleep, put them on the bed and covered them with quilts. Today, the two little guys were woken up very early and they didn't sleep well. They fell asleep after a little coaxing.

Lin Heng blocked the bed with a bench and a quilt, and then went out with peace of mind.

"Let's go, let's see if there is anything we can help with." Lin Heng tidied the hair on Xiulan's cheek and said.

She simply tied a single ponytail today, with a white turtleneck sweater inside, a brown thick coat outside, black slim pants and brown mid-tube boots on the lower body.

The whole person looked very elegant and casual, like a wisp of cool breeze blowing from the mountains in the hot summer.

"Okay."

Xiulan smiled and nodded, followed Lin Heng out, and looked to see if there was anything he needed help.

"You go to warm up by the fire, it's enough for me and your aunt here." Lin's mother shook her head and said.

"Yes, it's not convenient with too many people. You guys go play cards and warm yourself by the fire." Zhang Gaolian also said with a smile.

"Okay then." Xiulan nodded, and the two went over to warm themselves by the fire.

Xiaoxia, Lin Wei and others were having fun outside. Lin Heng looked at himself and went out to walk around.

He was not very cold, so he wanted to walk around outside and look around.

"Wait for me."

Lin Heng had not walked far when Xiulan followed him from behind.

"You don't want to warm yourself by the fire?" Lin Heng was puzzled.

"My uncle and his friends' smoking is too choking." Xiulan shook her head.

"Okay then." Lin Heng held out his hand to her, and the two walked fifty or sixty meters to a side room here, which was where his third uncle rested.

There were many beautiful persimmons hanging under the eaves of the side room. Lin Heng stretched out his hand and barely reached two, and handed one to Xiulan.

"The persimmons are so sweet." Xiulan tasted it and smiled brightly. The sweet persimmons were a memory of her childhood.

The two of them walked around while eating persimmons. The easy thing about visiting relatives is that you don't have to cook, just wait to eat.

After a while, they came to the hill on the other side of the ditch. Because it is very high here, you can see many layers of mountains, which is a different kind of beautiful scenery.

Lin Heng hugged Xiulan from behind, holding her hands and looking at the scenery in the distance.

Her hair had a faint jasmine scent, and the same scent would become more wonderful once it was on a woman.

"Let's go back. My feet are cold." Xiulan said after playing for a while.

Lin Heng looked at her attractive red lips and said, "My mouth is so dry."

"Your mouth is dry, right? I brought lip balm." Xiulan smiled slyly and took out a lipstick from her pocket to apply it on him.

"This is not good."

Lin Heng hugged her buttocks and picked her up. Xiulan screamed and quickly clamped her legs around his waist, fearing that she would fall.

"You are annoying~"

Xiulan hit him, her pretty face flushed, she applied lipstick on herself again, and looked at Lin Heng's lips and moved closer.

After a while, she said, "Okay, okay, it's done."

"No, it's not evenly applied." Lin Heng licked his lips and moved closer to apply lipstick.

The wild forest environment made Xiulan very shy, but she still applied lipstick on him seriously, and even coveted his warm and hot body and didn't want to go down.

The two of them went back and not far away they met their sister-in-law who came over. She looked at them and said, "The meal is ready, go back and eat quickly, why are you here?"

"I was just bored and wandering around, nothing to do." Lin Heng said with a smile.

Xiulan blushed slightly, thinking that fortunately she and Lin Heng were not seen kissing passionately in the broad daylight, otherwise how could she meet people.

"Oh, then go back and eat quickly." Liu Juan nodded, and looked at Xiulan again, "Xiulan, your face is so red, did you catch a cold?"

"A little bit." Xiulan nodded gently.

"Then go back quickly, just warm up by the fire." Liu Juan said and turned back.

Xiulan turned her head to look at Lin Heng and squeezed his hand.

Lin Heng smiled slightly and was very proud. This couldn't be blamed on him. Her lips were really tempting, and he was restrained by not moving his hands.

Xiulan didn't look at him, and chatted with her sister-in-law, and the three of them returned to the house soon.

The dishes in the house were served. Today they prepared two tables of food.

Because there were a lot of hunting harvests this year, the food at his uncle's house has also changed greatly, with much more meat than before.

"Hurry up and sit down and let's eat." Lu Honghai said with a smile.

"I've already started eating. This dish is really delicious." Lin Heng said with a smile, not polite at all.

His uncle prepared sweet sorghum wine, which they called sweet sorghum wine.

The alcohol content was very high, and Lin Heng didn't drink much. It was already a little faster for everyone to finish a meal in a lively manner.

At this moment, the sun suddenly came out, the snow on the ground began to melt, and a strong wind blew in the mountains, and the temperature became even colder.

Lin Heng chatted with his grandmother for a while, and everyone played for a while and prepared to go home.

When leaving, his uncle and the third uncle prepared red envelopes for the children. Xiaoxia took it with a smile and Lin Heng didn't stop it. Gifts can only be sent back and forth to show friendship.

"There are guests coming, I don't know who they are."

When Lin Heng walked to the door of his house, he heard voices coming from the yard.

"There should be more than one family." Lin's mother smiled.

Lin Heng held Lin Duheng and pushed open the door and walked in. Sure enough, he saw seven or eight people sitting in the house.

Two of them Lin Heng knew, they had been here last year, they were all his cousins, and the remaining six were completely unknown.

"Cousin, brother, sister-in-law, happy new year!"

...

"Aunt, Lin Heng, happy new year!"

Before Lin Heng greeted them, these people came out and spoke enthusiastically.

"Happy new year, happy new year." Lin Heng and his mother responded with a smile.

"Come in and talk." Lin's father called out, and when everyone entered the house, he introduced them one by one, and Lin Heng understood who these people were.

Many of them had not been in contact for many years, and now they suddenly came to pay New Year's greetings, saying that they had not visited his parents for many years and came to see.

Putting the children in the crib and letting them play by themselves, Lin Heng sat down and chatted with everyone, Xiulan, Caiyun and Lin's mother went to the kitchen to cook.

Although he understood why these people came, Lin Heng was also very good and humble, trying not to leave a bad impression on others.

However, these cousins ​​were even more humble, and they were very respectful in their words, especially to Lin's father.

This changed Lin Heng's attitude towards them a lot. In fact, people's interactions are based on value. It is normal for others to make friends with you if you are rich and powerful.

At around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, a large table of dishes was ready. The people at the table were secretly shocked when they saw the Lin family's food. They had already overestimated Lin Heng in their hearts, but they were still shocked when they saw the food.

It was much better than they imagined, making people feel like they were dreaming.

"Let's have a drink first." Lin Heng said with a smile, raising his glass.

"Good!"

"This meal is so rich."

Everyone ate the food and toasted, feeling the changes over the years and their own living conditions.

"Brother Lin Heng, I heard that you often go to the city and know a lot of people. Do you think there is any work suitable for us?"

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, one of them asked with a smile.

"Yes, you have a wide network of contacts. See if you can help us find one." Others also echoed.

"I don't have many connections either. I just sell things and often go to the city." Lin Heng shook his head and then said, "It's easy to find labor jobs in the city now, and the salary is also good."

"Are they all temporary?"

"Yes." Lin Heng nodded.

"That's fine, as long as you can make money. Lin Heng, please introduce us."

Lin Heng was slightly stunned when he heard this, feeling a little incredible.

Fang Cheng, the leader, noticed Lin Heng's fleeting expression and explained with a smile: "We all know that we are not well educated, and we dare not trouble you to find a good job for us. Even if we find one, we are not capable of doing it."

"Yes, we have never been to the city and don't know what the situation is. We just heard that working in the city can make more money, so we came to ask you. It's okay to do hard work, as long as you can make money."

Lin Heng nodded and said with a smile: "Is that so, then you go back and wait, I will look for it in the new year, and I will send you a letter when I find it. I will take you to the town when you come."

His perception of these people has improved a lot. Although he still asked him for help, these people have a good understanding of themselves and did not make any unreasonable demands.

Unlike some relatives who came before, their attitudes revealed that they had to help you.

You told them some options and they were picky and felt that they were not good enough. In their words, they also felt that you did not treat them well.

For such people, Lin Heng didn't even want to look at them again, let alone help.

"Okay, thank you then."

"Thank you so much, Lin Heng, I'll toast you a glass."

Several people hurriedly thanked them and said a lot of words of thanks.

After a meal, Lin Heng played with them for a while, and Lin's father arranged an old house for them to rest.

The next morning, these people had breakfast and left.

As soon as they left, several guests came to the Lin family again, but Lin Heng didn't entertain them much, leaving them to his parents. He went to his third father's house to pay New Year's greetings, and went to his aunt's house in the afternoon.

He didn't like this kind of ineffective social interaction, especially when facing some people who didn't know themselves.

But it's okay. After these years, basically most of the relatives have come to his house, and he has basically distinguished those who can get along and those who don't need to get along at all.

Although he is a reborn person, he didn't get along with many relatives in his previous life, and he couldn't tell the good from the bad.

Time passed quickly during the Chinese New Year. These days, except for gatherings, everyone had fun after a busy year.

Lin Heng arranged some important relatives and invited some important people in the village to dinner.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Heng and Xiulan packed up early in the morning. This time Caiyun went with them, helping to take the children to visit his parents-in-law to wish them a happy new year.
