Return to the small mountain village in 1983

Chapter 233 Beating up the naughty kid

Every New Year's dinner is a big meal with meat and fish, as if they are trying to make up for all the food they haven't eaten in the past year.

Everyone chatted while eating, telling each other about their experiences today. Lin Heng and Xiulan talked about the process of playing in the city, and their parents said that Li Shiwei and Lin Hai came to pay New Year's greetings today and would go to celebrate the festival tomorrow.

In a blink of an eye, it was the next day. Lin Heng, who had finished warming up, picked up a compound bow and started shooting fiercely. Even if he didn't go up the mountain, he would exercise habitually. He felt a sense of relief every time he shot an arrow.

"Hey, let's change the direction and enter the mountain in a few days." Lin Heng put down his bow and arrow and said to himself.

It was impossible to give up going into the mountains. It was a hobby and a life. He looked forward to the scenery deep in the mountains that no one had ever seen before. He liked the feeling of fighting wits and courage with prey, and he also liked the exploration of the unknown.

This mountain range is too big, and there are still many places that have not been explored. The places he has traveled are only a drop in the bucket.

He pulled out the arrows, wiped them, put them in his bow bag, and then went to wake Xiaoxia up. After dressing her and washing her, the father and daughter went to feed the chickens, horses, and forest musk deer together.

After feeding them, Xiulan rice was ready. Although it was only breakfast for three people, it was quite hearty. The stir-fried donkey meat went well with the meal, and the crucian carp and tofu soup was very nourishing to the stomach.

While eating, I quietly watched the sun melt the frost. After eating, I could admire the blooming wintersweet in the backyard. The koi in the pond seemed to have some vitality.

After talking here, Lin Heng said a few words to Li Shiwei. Xiulan was chatting with her aunt Lu Hongyun, while Xiaoxia was reluctant to part with Li Shiwei's daughter Li Leyan. The two were about the same age and could play together very well.

Li Baiquan smiled and said: "Haha, that's no problem. When the time comes, our whole family will come down to help you plant."

This made Lin Heng a little surprised. It turned out that this woman also had this side.

Lin Heng hugged Xiaoxia and said something, then walked up and down with Xiulan.

Then he smiled and said: "Fortunately you are not this kind of person, otherwise I would have been kicked out of the house long ago."

"Let's go Xiaoxia!"

"Okay, let's walk there by ourselves in the evening." Lin Heng nodded and agreed.

"I'm not sure yet. Let's do this, little uncle. I'll have someone bring you a letter when work starts." Lin Heng thought for a while and said, the specifics will depend on the situation. He hasn't made a plan yet.

"That's okay. This year it's just me and Li Shiwei." Li Baiquan nodded with a smile. Working with Lin Heng was much more cost-effective than growing crops.

……

This kind of helping each other with farm work is part of the friendship, and naturally money is not mentioned. If you mention the money, they will be embarrassed to ask you for help next time.

His third mother's craftsmanship was mediocre, but of course Lin Heng wouldn't say it.

Lin Hai smiled helplessly: "This is my parents' order. If you don't go, I can only pull you over."

Facts have proved how important it is to marry a good wife.

"Don't, you can't learn this..."

"No."

Every time I think of the scene where he teased me for a drink of water when I walked in front of her house half a year ago, I feel angry.

As a result, before nightfall, his third mother, Li Xue, came to call for them in person.

After resting for a while, they got up and went to the mountain to pay New Year's greetings to his aunt's family. In the past, Lin Heng was not popular, especially by Li Shiwei's wife Cao Haiyan, and Li Shiwei's grandmother also disliked him very much.

"Didn't my brother and the others come over?" Lin Heng said helplessly. This meal was one meal after another.

Xiulan also laughed: "It's good that people can correct their mistakes after they realize it, but it's not good for you to keep your voice down and be heard."

When Lin Heng was about to leave, Li Baiquan asked with a smile: "Lin Heng, don't you still need to build a feed bin at Hongfeng Mountain? When will the construction start?"

After finishing the meal, Lin Heng was about to leave, and he wouldn't stay long during the New Year. And there isn’t even a waterhole on this high mountain, so there’s absolutely nothing interesting about it.

Lin Heng spread his hands. He believed that even if his third mother heard him, he would treat it as inaudible. And he didn't like this person in the first place. If it weren't for the sake of his third father and cousin Lin Hai, he wouldn't want to talk to her at all.

After Li Xue left, Lin Heng smiled at Xiulan and said, "It's amazing. My third mother didn't even want to drink water before, but now she takes the initiative to get people to eat."

Xiulan winked at her and smiled: "Then you play here and we go back?"

Xiaoxia glanced at Lin Heng and felt coy and didn't want to leave.

Lin Heng shouted.

But his aunt Lu Hongyun's craftsmanship is pretty good, a little better than his mother's.

Lin Heng handed all the gifts to his aunt, showing his support for her. Others who want to bully her in the future must think about the possible impact.

"Then let's go, aunt and uncle."

Xiulan poked him: "If you want to experience it, I can try to learn it."

When I got home and just lit the fireplace to heat up the room, Lin Hai came over, looked at Lin Heng and said, "Brother Lin, come to my house for dinner tonight."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoxia ran over with Laifu in hand and threw herself into Lin Heng's arms.

After walking for a while, he saw Li Leyan running this way, reluctant to leave Xiaoxia, but was quickly stopped by his father.

Lin Heng nodded and said with a smile: "The Hongfeng Mountain side has not been planned yet, but I may ask you to help plant fruit trees in the next few days. This person only cares about food."

The two chatted and laughed, then took Xiaoxia over for a meal.

Li Leyan especially likes Xiaoxia's puppy Laifu.

Early the next morning, my parents invited their family over for dinner again. This is how they eat everywhere during the Chinese New Year.

But this year was different. Before Lin Heng arrived, his family welcomed him out. Cao Haiyan also turned into a well-behaved rabbit, speaking softly and pleasantly.

He has a large family, and they are all crowded into one house. The food is naturally far different from that of Lin Heng's family. Except for pork, pig badgers and golden roosters caught during hunting, there is no beef, mutton, or fish, let alone donkey meat. .

At noon, two more groups of New Year's guests came to his house, both of whom were unknown to Lin Heng. They were all left to his parents to deal with.

However, these two groups of relatives have always been close to Lin Heng, saying that they had met him when he was a child. Lin Heng could not remember these at all, but he remembered that they said that he was a waste of money.

Lin Heng didn't want to say anything more. These people insisted on visiting his house and brought their children with them. The five-year-old boy entered the yard and climbed onto the tricycle. It was shaking again and again, but there was no one there. Tube.

Lin Heng wanted to remind him several times, but for the sake of his parents, he took a deep breath and let it go.

Lin Heng was relieved when he saw him get out of the car, thinking that if this was his child, he would have to be beaten.

"What a big dog. The fur is so strong."

Suddenly, the little boy rushed towards Xiongba again, but fortunately Xiongba saw that the situation was not right and dodged away.

As soon as he turned around, he ran towards the little dog Fengsheng again, as if this was his home more than his own.

"Don't touch it, the dog is too small." Lin Heng couldn't help but quickly stopped him. This child didn't know how to measure.

Hearing Lin Heng's voice, the woman who was talking to Lin's mother turned around and shouted: "Liu Hao is back, don't touch him!"

"I didn't touch it, grandma, I just looked at the puppy." The little boy named Liu Hao stuck out his tongue and defended.

Lin Heng was too lazy to say anything. He turned around and went into the house to let Xiaoxia take the green wolf dog Laifu and her toys back to the bedroom. It would be terrible if she was beaten by this naughty child.

"call!"

Lin Heng sat in the bedroom and took a deep breath. His favorability towards these relatives had turned negative. When he heard Mother Lin taking them to the backyard, he was too lazy to go out and show his kindness as a landlord. I just hope that after reading it, I can take this child away as soon as possible. I don’t even want to leave them with food, so let his mother cook it.

"Dad, what's wrong?" Xiaoxia raised her head and asked curiously.

"Pfft!!"

At this moment, a popping sound suddenly came from the backyard.

"I rely on!!"

Lin Heng stood up, his anger soaring.

I ran out of the backyard and saw that the naughty boy named Liu Hao just picked up a volcanic stone from the edge of the fish pond and threw it into the bottom of the water.

"What are you doing?" Lin Heng's expression turned serious.

"It deserves a beating, your hands are very mean!"

The mother-in-law next to her grabbed the boy and slapped him on the butt several times, beating and scolding him at the same time.

"I was wrong, mother-in-law, I don't dare to do it anymore!" Liu Hao begged for mercy while covering his butt, which seemed to be in great pain.

Lin Heng felt that the beating was too light and it didn't hurt at all through his cotton pants.

"I apologize to your cousin Lin Heng, hurry up." The woman next to her who was older than Lin's mother said angrily.

"Uncle, I was wrong." Liu Hao looked at Lin Heng and said quickly.

Lin Heng wished he could come up and give him a couple of bucks, because he could see that he didn't feel any pain from the beating at all, and he was pretending to be one.

After taking a deep look at his mother, he found that the fish was not hurt. Lin Heng endured it again and said, "Just don't move around next time. Cousin, please hold this child in check. He is very naughty."

Her mother said this was a distant cousin of hers who was very kind to her when she was a child. And he didn't want to make things worse with the four people here to see his house.

Lin Heng forgave him, and his mother-in-law stopped beating the naughty child, but kept the child close to her.

"Lin Heng's house is not built roughly. I'm afraid it cost a lot of money."

"Yeah, this is so beautiful."

"I've always thought Lin Heng was a good kid since he was a kid. He really has a lot of potential."

Relatives nearby praised the house and helped smooth things over.

Lin Heng felt a little relieved when he saw Liu Hao being held back. He replied casually and perfunctorily, then said that he was going to pick up Xiulan and went out.

He did it on purpose. If he went out, it would be hard for these people to stay in his house.

Xiulan and Caiyun had just gone to the river to wash clothes, and Lin Heng met them halfway there.

"Why are you here?" Xiulan asked curiously as she handed a basket of clothes to Lin Heng.

"I'm almost driven crazy by my cousin's grandson." Lin Heng took the basket and complained, telling what had just happened in detail.

Caiyun couldn't help but agree after listening halfway: "That's right, he ran to my bedroom over and over again and rummaged through my things, otherwise I wouldn't have locked the door and excused myself to come out to do laundry."

"I can't wait to give him a kick." Lin Heng said angrily.

Xiulan also frowned: "Don't the parents of this child discipline him?"

After exhaling, she added: "Husband, don't be impulsive, otherwise your parents won't be able to come to the stage. They will leave in the afternoon anyway."

Lin Heng nodded and walked home with a basket in one hand.

When they arrived at the door of the house, they found that the group of people were still in the house. They were speechless. The three of them looked at each other and walked in.

When I found Mother Lin and four relatives sitting in the main room, and the child was missing, I suddenly felt panicked.

Xiulan and the others said hello and went to dry their clothes, while Lin Heng quickly went into the house to look for them.

As soon as he opened the study, he saw Liu Hao. This kid was stepping on his chair and scribbling there with a brush. Lin Heng looked carefully and saw that the paper he was using was the painting he bought, and he suddenly became angry.

"Who asked you to come in and mess with it? Do you know how much this painting is worth?"

With a loud roar, Lin Heng rushed over, grabbed his neck and lifted him up. He picked up the ruler next to him and slapped him hard on his buttocks.

He couldn't bear it anymore. Not to mention his relatives, even if the King of Heaven came, he would still beat me.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu I'll fight with you as a fool, if you hit me again,...wow, wah..."

This naughty kid was still unconvinced after being slapped by Lin Heng, so he wanted to catch him and bite him. But Lin Heng exercised all his strength every day, grabbed both of his hands and lifted one up to continue beating him.

"What's going on?"

"Stop hitting him. He's broken. You're not doing it lightly or harshly. He's still a child!"

Outside, the child's mother-in-law ran in as soon as she heard the child's heartbreaking cries, and stopped Lin Heng from being beaten without asking whether it was right or wrong.

Mother Lin was also stunned and quickly helped to stop it. Xiulan Caiyun Xiaoxia also came in, so she had no choice but to stop it first.

Lin Heng laughed angrily at his mother-in-law's move, threw the naughty child over, pointed at the calligraphy and painting on the table and said: "Okay, no beating, right? Then you can just pay for it, cousin. I saw this calligraphy and painting at the antique market yesterday I bought them for twenty yuan a pair, five yuan for the wolf-hair brushes, and forget about the gloomy wooden tables and chairs.”

"Ouch, you bitch, just wait for me!" Liu Hao shrank behind his mother-in-law and cursed fiercely while rubbing his butt.

"What?"

"So expensive?"

Several people's eyes widened when they heard the price. Liu Hao's mother-in-law was also confused. This thing costs more than 20 yuan?
Several people looked at Mother Lin.

Mother Lin raised her hand and then retracted it, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Lin Hengze lost his composure at all. He looked at his cousin and said, "This kid was shaking and swaying in my car. Then he chased my dog, hit the fish pond with rocks, and now he messes with my valuables. I'm going to hit him." You made a mistake right away? You didn’t care at all from beginning to end. I just want to ask if he has a tutor?”

Then he waved his hand again and said, "Don't say so much. Just tell me what to do. My things are also broken."

When Lin Heng asked this question, his cousin's face turned red. Then she suddenly took another ruler on the table and spanked her grandson on the butt.

"I'll beat you to death if I let you move. Whoever asked you to move? Kneel down and don't block it with your hands..."

Accompanied by the pitiful cry of the naughty child, his mother-in-law became more and more cruel.

Lin's mother, Xiulan, and the accompanying relatives all pulled her, but the more they pulled her breasts, the harder they were beaten.

Obviously this is waiting for Lin Heng to pull it.

But Lin Heng acted as if he hadn't seen it at all. He watched with interest and felt more and more comfortable.

Didn't he never give him a chance? Didn't he like to block people when he hit them? Now you know you can’t afford to lose money? Do you know that spanking a child will gain sympathy?

He won't pull it, just to see what you can do.
