Era: Started from raising livestock in the mountains

After they sat down, Lin Heng released the clutch and stepped on the gas. The huge steel beast started and drove quickly to the top of the mountain. Soon, it arrived in front of the cabin on the top of the mountain.

"This truck is good, very good!"

When they reached the top of the mountain, Chen Changxia sighed again and again, thinking that this son-in-law is really capable and is getting better every year.

Wang Zhi looked at Lin Heng and asked, "I heard that being a driver is very profitable. If you have a car, it must be more profitable."

Lin Heng nodded and said, "If you want to compare, it must be more profitable."

Chen Changxia's two grandsons next to him also looked curiously. They didn't even have a toy truck. Seeing that their uncle actually had a real car brought a huge shock to their little hearts.

After Lin Heng finished talking to them, he went to pick up his father Xiulan and Xiaoxia who were sitting in the back of the truck.

"Mom, I'll take you to our ginseng garden and dig some ginseng for you to take back to make wine."

After Xiulan got off, she pulled her mother Wang Zhi and said with a smile.

"We are all healthy, we don't need ginseng." Wang Zhi said with a smile.

"You can also replenish your health. Don't worry, there are plenty of ginseng." Xiulan said, and turned to look at Lin Heng, "Husband, am I right?"

"Yes, more than 20 acres of ginseng, dig as you like." Lin Heng said with a smile.

Then several people went to the cabin on the mountain together, opened the door, and Lin Heng took a look at the cabin.

Although it was not painted this winter, there was no problem. It was still intact and there were no insects.

The tung oil and paint applied before had penetrated into the wood, and had a good anti-corrosion effect.

"This wooden house is still there." Chen Changxia was a little surprised.

"We also built a small reservoir next to it." Lin's father smiled.

"Dad, I want to play on the swing." Xiaoxia pointed to the swing in the distance and said crisply.

"The rope of the swing is broken, and I haven't had time to replace it yet. Let's wait for next time." Lin Heng looked at her and shook his head and said.

"Then you carry my dad on your back!" Xiaoxia was still very obedient, and she had to let Lin Heng carry her.

"No problem." Lin Heng carried her on his back, and then accompanied his parents-in-law for a walk with Xiulan and his father.

First, he looked at the reservoir, and then went to the ginseng garden to dig a few ginsengs.

Since Lin Heng built the rose wall on this mountain, no one has sneaked in, because it is really difficult to climb over the rose wall that is 1500 to 1600 meters high.

After looking at it here, they got in the car and went down to the cattle and sheep pen, looked at the cattle, sheep and musk deer, and then returned to the house below to warm up by the fire.

"Your place is really getting better and better." Chen Changxia said with emotion while warming up by the fire.

Compared with the last time he came, the changes here are very big, which makes him feel a little incredible.

Lin Heng smiled and said, "We are also doing it step by step. The environment over there is good, so it will be easier to develop."

"Then do you think it is feasible for us to learn from you to grow some medicinal herbs?" Chen Changxia asked with a smile. He came here this time to ask for advice in this regard.

Lin Heng nodded and said, "Of course, I can give you some astragalus seeds. You can go back and plant a few acres. If you can't sell them, I can buy them."

Xiulan looked at her father and said, "Dad, you can also raise fish. Fishing depends on luck after all. It's not bad for you to use cages to enclose an area in the village lake to raise fish. We have made a lot of money from raising fish before."

Wang Zhi nodded, "I think this is possible. All the fish in Liulin Lake have been caught here. We can raise them ourselves."

Chen Changxia spread his hands and said, "Your three brothers and I have also thought about raising fish, but we have no capital, and the expenses of raising fish are not small."

This year, his three daughters-in-law have talked to him many times, hoping that he will come to Lin Heng's house to borrow money again, or let Lin Heng lead their family to make a fortune together.

Although the three sons didn't say anything, he knew that they also had this intention.

Chen Changxia refused firmly at first. After all, he hadn't paid back the more than 500 yuan he borrowed before, so how could he ask again.

But the increasing pressure of life made him waver again.

"Then let's plant astragalus first. The seeds are not expensive. We can also get some fish fry and put them in for breeding." Xiulan thought for a while and said.

She didn't say that she would help raise fish. She said this when her parents borrowed money to build a house before, asking them to persuade the three brothers to be patient for the time being and use the money to plant some medicinal herbs or raise fish.

As a result, after returning, they still chose to use the money to build a house and split up first. Now the three sisters-in-law can't bear it anymore and want to borrow money to raise fish for business. Naturally, she won't agree again.

How can you help again and again.

Although her parents didn't say anything, she knew them very well, and also knew the three brothers and sisters-in-law, and she could guess it with a little guess.

Lin Heng took a sip of tea and replied, "How about this, Mom and Dad, I'll bring you some Astragalus seeds and you can plant them first. Then I'll send you a batch of fish fry in May or June. You can raise rice fish first, which is low-cost."

After a pause, he said, "Or you can build a few larger fish ponds and raise some grass carp. Grass carp eat grass and the cost is relatively low. You can raise them for two or three years and sell them."

He didn't want to lend money for the time being, but he could help them. Some fish fry and Astragalus seeds didn't cost much. He could raise the fish fry himself, and he had harvested a lot of seeds in the past two years.

"Rice fish is OK. We harvested dozens of kilograms per mu of land last year." Father Lin said beside him.

Then he talked about the specific situation of their harvest of Astragalus in the past two years.

"That's OK. Just do as you said, Lin Heng. We will plant some Astragalus first, and then raise some rice fish." Chen Changxia said with a smile.

Wang Zhi said beside him: "You can only pay for the seeds and fry first."

"No need for that. It's not much in total." Lin Heng said with a smile.

He is still willing to help his parents-in-law. They are good people, and he is very grateful that they married their daughter to him.

And their family is also hardworking and hardworking. They are not the kind of people who eat and wait for death. It's just that the three sisters-in-law are not good people.

Now he hasn't really risen yet, and he is short of money, so he can't help too much. When he really takes off in a few years, he will easily lead his parents-in-law to become the richest man in their village.

"This won't work. We still have to settle the accounts." Chen Changxia shook his head and said that he was a person who cared about face.

Lin Heng did not argue with him too much, just followed his mood.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this, come with me to prepare vegetables, we'll have hot pot for lunch." Lin's mother said with a smile.

"It's already eleven o'clock, it's time to have lunch, let's get ready." Lin's father also said after looking at the watch.

Chen's mother followed Lin's mother to help with the dishes, while Lin Heng and his father went to catch fish.

This time they caught a grass carp and prepared to eat fish fillets for hot pot later.

After they were done, they took the vegetables and fish back to the house in the village.

Lin Heng took out the frozen antelope beef and deer meat and pork and sliced ​​them with a spatula. Xiulan dissected the grass carp and stewed the fish bones and fish heads into a milky white fish soup and added it to the copper pot.

While adding the beef hot pot base, mushrooms and chicken were added.

After the dipping sauce was prepared, everyone sat down. Lin Heng used chopsticks to turn the meat in the pot, and picked it up for everyone, saying: "It's ready to eat, everyone, pick up your chopsticks."

"Okay."

"We'll do it ourselves!"

Soon everyone started eating the meat. Chen Changxia and Wang Zhi had hot pot at Lin Heng's house last time. After such a long time, they missed it very much.

Although hot pot looks simple, it is still very expensive to eat. They don't have the energy to make these at home, so they just stir-fry the meat and eat it directly.

Chen Bentao and Chen Benxin ate hot pot for the first time. They felt that their tongues were fragrant. It turned out that meat could be eaten like this.

They are now bolder and keep picking up meat and eating hard, trying to make up for the meat they haven't eaten in these years.

Lin Heng has been paying attention to picking up dishes for his parents-in-law and his bowl is also full of Xiulan's.

He dipped the antelope beef in the dipping sauce with sesame paste and put it into his mouth. The rich fragrance makes people linger.

The lunch took another hour. Everyone chatted while eating. It was not until everyone could not eat anymore that it was over.

After dinner, everyone drank a few sips of tea and played poker in the house.

For dinner, they simply fried a few hot dishes, made some stewed dishes, and then drank a few glasses of wine.

After settling his parents-in-law, Lin Heng came back to wash up and went to bed early. The quilt in winter is still too tempting.

The children exercised a lot today, and fell asleep after telling a story for a while.

"Oh, it's another beautiful day."

Lin Heng stretched and got into the quilt. Xiulan hugged his neck and put her face close to him and said softly: "Husband, thank you."

Lin Heng looked at Xiulan in confusion: "Why thank me? It's right to help your parents appropriately. I am very grateful that they raised you as a good daughter-in-law."

"Anyway, thank you." Xiulan leaned half of her body on him, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him with a slightly red face.

Lin Heng responded immediately, turned off the lights, and started a long battle.

Finally, Xiulan fell asleep happily in Lin Heng's arms.

Lin Heng looked at Xiulan's smiling face, put her aside to add some firewood to the fireplace, then got into bed and fell asleep with Xiulan.

It snowed again the next morning. Lin Heng got up and added some firewood to the fireplace, then hugged Xiulan and slept for a while.

Staying with her, doing nothing makes me feel calm.

"Get up."

Xiulan slept for a while, stretched out her hair that was tied up last night, put on her clothes, went to the mirror to tidy up, and put on a light makeup.

Today was relatively dull during the day. Lin Heng stayed at home with his parents-in-law and watched the snow fall outside.

But the village was not dull. Zhao Hu and Jin Yan will have their wedding tomorrow. Today they are setting up a shed and borrowing benches, electric kettles, wine kettles and other things.

"Aren't you going to give gifts tomorrow?"

When Lin Heng and Xiu Lan were alone in the afternoon, Xiu Lan asked with a smile, blinking her big eyes.

"Do you want to go? If you want to go, I'll take you with me. I don't have any feelings for Jin Yan." Lin Heng smiled and put a winter plum blossom on his head.

It was enough for him to have a good wife like Xiu Lan. He took the initiative to reject all other women and just wanted to grow old with her.

"I'm kidding you, I won't go, but if you want to go, I won't disagree." Xiu Lan smiled and said.

"I've already told Dad, he will go to give a gift when the time comes." Lin Heng said.

Xiu Lan nodded and said, "We are also busy, Tian Yan and Lin Hai will also have a wedding soon."

They definitely had to go to Tian Yan and Lin Hai's place, and they had to go there in advance to help.

The next morning, the village was filled with gongs and drums, and firecrackers were set off. Zhao Hu's family even bought a sedan chair to take Jin Yan back.

Most people in the village went to enjoy the fun. There were even opera singers at the wedding, which was rare.

Lin Heng and Xiu Lan were at home. Tian Yan came over once in the morning. At noon, Lin Hai came to his house to borrow a crusher to make tofu. Lin Heng brought the machine over to help beat 80 kilograms of soybeans, and brought back a piece of vegetable tofu in the evening.

The next day was a wedding at Tian Yan's family. The village party secretary Tian Dongfu married his daughter Tian Yan. His family had a wedding the day before, and the groom came to pick up the bride the next day. The wedding was held at the groom's house.

Lin Heng also sent gifts to Tian Yan's family, and the whole family went to the wedding banquet.

In the afternoon, Xiu Lan helped at Tian Yan's house, and Lin Heng went to Lin Hai's house to help build a shed. Many close relatives came to help.

Lin Hai's family did not choose a sedan chair, but borrowed Lin Heng's red-maned horse and red dates, and used the horse to pick up the bride when the time came.

"Brother Lin, damn, I'm so excited all of a sudden!"

After setting up the shed, Lin Hai pulled Lin Heng and said. His marriage to Tian Yan was undoubtedly a high-class marriage, especially since Tian Yan's brother was still a civil servant in Nanshan County, which made him a little nervous.

"Why are you nervous? Everything is already destined, and it will definitely go smoothly." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"You don't have to worry about money or anything. You are still young. If you work hard in the future, you will definitely make money and give Tian Yan a good life." Lin Heng comforted him again.

Lin Hai didn't ask him to borrow money for the wedding. The money from his family's sale of astragalus plus his own earnings were enough, and the main thing was that Tian Yan didn't ask too much.

"You are right, Brother Lin." Lin Hai nodded, and ran over to chat and laugh with Li Shiwei and others to relieve the pressure.

Lin Heng said hello to them and went home. After returning home, he found that Xiulan had also returned. He looked at her and smiled and said, "Wife, when I have money in the future, I will give you a beautiful wedding."

When Xiulan married him, the wedding was very simple. At that time, it had only been a few years since the subcontracting to households, and every family was very poor.

"I have never blamed you, why do you want to re-hold it." Xiulan smiled, "Although the wedding was very simple at the time, I was very happy."

"I just want to make you happier." Lin Heng said with a smile.

Xiulan looked up and thought for a while and said, "If you are really rich, let's talk about it. Now we live a peaceful life. As long as you treat me well, nothing else matters."

"I will definitely have money." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"Come and help me. I have made this pair of embroidered shoes and will give them to Tian Yan as a wedding gift." Xiulan waved at him.

Lin Heng smiled and came over to help. After the work, they had a simple meal in the evening. The next morning, their family got up before dawn.

Caiyun went to be a bridesmaid, and Xiulan also went to the village party secretary's house to help.

Lin Heng went to Lin Hai's house, packed up and waited for the auspicious time to come. Suddenly, gongs and drums were beating and firecrackers were blasting. There were people walking and singing in front, and they followed behind in an orderly manner. (End of this chapter)
