Return to the small mountain village in 1983

Chapter 234 Just don’t give face
Seeing that Lin Heng had not moved for a long time, and the naughty child was crying more and more miserably, it was not a matter of not beating his mother-in-law.

"You still won't apologize to your cousin?" she angrily kicked the child on the butt.

"Cousin Wuwu, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I was really wrong Wuwu!!"

Liu Hao wiped his tears with both hands and apologized tearfully.

"I can't hear you clearly."

Old God Lin Heng said, "You didn't listen to my warning before, but it's not so easy to forgive now."

"Stop crying and apologize to your cousin clearly." His mother-in-law said and raised the ruler again.

Liu Hao wanted to stop but couldn't, because this time it was really painful, the worst beating he had ever received.

"Cousin, I was wrong." He barely suppressed some crying and looked at Lin Heng and said.

"Didn't you just say you wanted to take revenge on me?" Lin Heng said angrily.

"Uh-huh, I don't dare."

"What else don't you dare to do?" Lin Heng asked with a smile.

Liu Hao stopped talking. His eyes looked at Lin Heng full of fear.

Lin Heng spread his hands and looked at his cousin and said, "Cousin, where are your grandson's parents?"

"They are all busy working for others, and I usually stay here." The woman said sheepishly.

After a pause, she said sheepishly: "Well, I don't have that much money now. When I go back and save up, I will pay it to you."

Seeing that Lin Heng didn't respond, she added: "I was also anxious just now, don't be surprised."

"It doesn't matter whether I'm angry or not. Let the parents give the money to the baby. You can't blame others if you don't educate the child. I didn't listen to three warnings in a row today. Cousin, if you let it go, you will be held responsible."

Lin Heng spread his hands and took out the calligraphy and painting to show to everyone. The calligraphy and painting with plum blossoms was completely useless.

Anyway, the money cannot be less today, and he will not give in. What's wrong with your relatives? It's not that he didn't give face.

He is not afraid that this person will go back and talk nonsense, and he can talk whatever he likes. It's nice not to have those relatives to bother him. In my previous life, I had never seen these relatives help me when my family was in trouble, so it was useless to keep them.

Lin Heng's words made Liu Hao's mother-in-law instantly confused. She also wanted money. Where could she get such money?

Mother Lin looked at Lin Heng and said quickly: "Lin Heng, how can you ask your cousin for money? I gave you the money, it's my problem."

Lin Yang ignored his mother, looked at his cousin and said, "I'm not asking for money, but I want to teach the naughty kid a lesson, don't you think so, cousin?"

"Yes, that's right, you are right." Liu Hao's mother-in-law took a long breath and looked at her grandson who was still crying on the ground and became very angry.

"Then we won't stay any longer and will go back."

After saying this, she took her grandson and walked outside the house.

"Then let's go too." The other three relatives also felt a little embarrassed and were not ready to stay.

"It has nothing to do with you, just stay and eat." Lin Heng grabbed Lin's mother and the three remaining relatives.

Mother Lin looked at Lin Heng with helplessness on her face, feeling that Lin Heng had done too cruelly.

"That's right, let's get down and have dinner. Third aunt, my brother is also very angry. The painting was just bought yesterday and it was destroyed today."

Caiyun Xiulan also hurriedly came up to smooth things over. After leaving the person behind, Xiulan went to cook.

Soon a table of delicious, delicious and delicious food was served. Lin Heng introduced it with a smile, and the remaining three relatives were all attracted by the food.

After drinking some wine, Lin Heng tried to apologize and said it was not against them, and easily drew them to his side.

It was just the naughty kid who was wrong in the first place, and with these relatives testifying, it would not be that easy to spread rumors over there in the future.

On one side were relatives from a household worth ten thousand yuan, and on the other side were relatives who were as poor as them. How to choose Lin Heng? I don’t think he needed to teach him.

When the three of them left, he would ask Father Lin to give him a bigger red envelope, and the matter would be settled.

It fully proved that he was a polite and sensible young man. When he left, the three of them held Lin Heng's hand with smiles on their faces and invited him to visit him when he was free.

His attitude was even more cordial than when he first arrived. This was the result of seeing Lin Heng's strength and ruthlessness and his polite treatment.

It's like hitting a stick and giving a jujube, the principles are interoperable.

After the others left, Mother Lin and Father Lin looked at Lin Heng with helpless eyes: "Then the naughty kid can be beaten. Why do you have to be so heartless?"

Lin Heng waved his hand: "Like a son, like a father. You can tell your character from your upbringing. There is nothing worth associating with such a person."

After saying that, he smiled and said: "Mom and dad, believe it or not, this family will not come to pay compensation. They will only deliberately forget about it and never interact with us again."

Caiyun also nodded and said: "I think what my second brother did is absolutely right. Parents, you just care too much about face."

Mother Lin was still unconvinced: "What if someone comes to pay compensation?"

"Mom, if they come to pay you, I will pay you ten times that amount, and then apologize to them." Lin Heng said with a smile.

His parents are honest and honest people. If they borrow money and owe money, they have to pay back the money first if they can't eat well.

But there are too many people who only want to take advantage, borrow money without paying it back, and take advantage of everything. There are too many.

Facing this kind of person, his parents' character will suffer. If he cares too much about other people's evaluations and feelings, he will abuse himself.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter if we miss this relative. That baby is really annoying." Father Lin waved his hand and turned back.

Lin Heng also turned around and went home to help Xiulan clean up the dishes.

As soon as Lin Heng entered the room, he saw Xiaoxia walking over. She held the corner of her clothes with her little hands and looked at him timidly: "Dad, I don't rummage around."

Lin Heng was amused by her appearance and understood that she was scared when she saw him beating someone. The naughty kid was beaten so badly this year.

Lin Heng knelt down and touched her face and said with a smile: "I know that Xiaoxia will not touch other people's things. If you want to move first, you only need to ask others. If they agree, you can move."

"I know dad."

Xiaoxia nodded and went back to the table to play with her wind-up frog, which was one of the small toys bought for her in the city yesterday.

Just as Lin Heng was about to enter the kitchen, Xiulan walked out and said with a smile: "I've finished washing, I don't need your help."

"Then I'm going to make my little wooden cart." Lin Heng nodded, took the tools and continued making his own little wooden cart.

In order to make this small wooden cart, Lin Heng bought four bearings when he was in the city yesterday.

The base plate of this wooden car has already been prepared before. Now Lin Heng only needs to make the shape of the upper part and get a steering wheel.

Lin Heng first used mortise and tenon joints, then watered them, trying to make them firmer, and first made a rectangular body.

He made this car in the shape of an SUV, one meter long, eighty centimeters high and twenty centimeters high. Once it's finished, it can be pulled by a dog or pulled around, and it can seat up to two children.

Of course, he can't be as refined as a professional carpenter, but it's not too bad. He also did carpentry for a period of time in his previous life. First, install the boxy body, then complete the general shape, and then polish the edges and details.

Lin Heng was busy making this all afternoon, while Xiulan was processing the Jerusalem artichokes brought back from his uncle's house. Some of them were left for seeds, and most of them were scraped and soaked in the jar where the bamboo shoots were soaked before.

It's still good to eat it after it's sour and sour, sweet and crunchy.

After Xiulan finished cooking the Jerusalem artichokes, Caiyun came again and asked her to go out to dig wild vegetables. During this period, the shepherd's purse grew beautifully.

After Xiulan came back from digging wild vegetables, Lin Heng finally finished the general frame of the car and polished the edges a little.

The next step is to polish the details and install the wheels.

Lin Heng went to Lin's father for help sawing five 25-centimetre-thick pieces of oak, about centimeters in diameter. Four were polished to make tires, and one was used to make a steering wheel.

"Aren't you going to your second uncle's place?"

Father Lin asked while sawing wood.

"Don't go, it's too far and I don't want to run." Lin Heng shook his head.

"That's okay." Father Lin nodded. It was up to Lin Heng.

After finishing the wood, Lin Heng piled it under the eaves and took his time when he had time. He had been busy all afternoon and wanted to rest.

In the evening, Xiulan and I did what we loved and were busy for a long time.

The next day is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the New Year is almost over, and all the relatives who should leave are gone.

Lin Heng discussed inviting the village party secretary Tian Dongfu's family to come over for dinner. Xiulan thought there was no problem and decided to have dinner in the evening.

What is surprising is that at noon, his second uncle's son, his cousin Lu Zhe's family, took the initiative to come to visit and pay New Year's greetings.

Lin Heng was fairly familiar with this cousin, and had often seen him when he was a child, but he had not seen him much since he turned fifteen because his second uncle sent him to the county town to study.

Welcoming him with a smile, he took the family around the village, played for a while, and talked about what they had seen and heard over the years.

This cousin Lu Zhe was very shocked by Lin Heng's current achievements. In his opinion, it was impossible for his cousin to have such ability.

But after chatting with Lin Heng, he was shocked again. Lin Heng has changed so much from before. No wonder he has different achievements.

After lunch, Lu Zhe was about to say goodbye. They were going up the mountain to see his mother-in-law, the eldest father and the third father.

Lin Heng sent him away and invited the village party secretary Tian Dongfu's family to come over for dinner in the evening. Tian Yan came over early to play with Xiulan.

"Your yard is quite beautiful now."

Tian Dongfu entered the courtyard and said in shock.

"I'm just trying to figure it out, mainly because I'm happy." Lin Heng smiled casually. He didn't mean to regard Tian Dongfu as a leader, he was just an elder who was older than him.

"It's much more beautiful than my yard." Tian Dongfu said with a smile.

After entering the house, Tian Dongfu noticed Lin Heng's new furniture again, touched it and asked, "I heard that you picked up some dark wood. Is this furniture made of dark wood?"

"Yes, these are all made of gloomy wood, as is the table in the study here." Lin Heng said with a smile.

Tian Dongfu touched the desk, chair and bench. He usually doesn't envy others, but he was very envious today.

He thought to himself: "This boy has really extraordinary eyesight. I don't know how long it has been since the wood was left by the river, but he was the only one who found it."

Others regret that if they had known this boy had such potential earlier, they would have matched him with his daughter. Although Lin Hai is also making progress, he is still far behind Lin Heng.

Lin Heng looked at Tian Dongfu and said with a smile: "Uncle Tian, ​​I heard that your calligraphy is also very good. Can you give me a pair of calligraphy brushes?"

"That's no problem." Tian Dongfu agreed happily, and then smiled: "I think these two rulers you have are pretty good, how about giving them to me?"

"Uncle Tian, ​​feel free to take it if you like." Lin Heng laughed. Five pairs of these were made from the gloomy wood of the red ton tree with a broken heart. There was no shortage at all.

Tian Dongfu sat down, and Lin Heng polished his ink beside him. I heard from his father that Tian Dongfu used to go to a private school and had good calligraphy skills since he was a child. He has been practicing regularly in his spare time these years.

Just by looking at Lin Heng's handwriting, he knew that this old man was much more capable than him. The words were full of grace and appearance.

As he continued to write, a piece of Ouyang Xiu's "Die Lian Hua" appeared on the paper.

"Uncle Tian, ​​you can become a calligrapher now." Lin Heng said with a smile.

Tian Dongfu waved his hand: "It's far from perfect. I just imitate the calligraphy of my predecessors, and I can't write much charm."

"I think this word is beautiful. I will frame it and hang it on the wall." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"That's up to you, as long as you like it." Tian Dongfu laughed, and naturally it was useful.

Soon after the meal was ready, Tian Yan called her mother Wang Qin over. Wang Qin was even more envious when she saw the layout of Lin Heng's house.

Especially the bluestone floor tiles and dark wood furniture made her drool with envy. They were so beautiful and felt much better than ordinary furniture.

However, he was too embarrassed to speak, and Tian Dongfu would not allow it.

"Uncle Tian, ​​Aunt Wang, try this dish." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"Okay, okay." Tian Dongfu looked at the table full of dishes and couldn't help but sigh that Lin Heng was too good at enjoying it. He really didn't save money at all.

Tian Yan also smiled and said: "Mom and Dad, Xiulan's craftsmanship is so good. Come and try it."

"It's delicious. Learn from Xiulan. If you can learn half of it, you won't have to worry about getting married." Wang Qin said with a smile.

"I don't have to worry about getting married even if I don't study." Tian Yan hummed.

Everyone was chatting and laughing, eating food and drinking wine. The food at Lin Heng's house undoubtedly made everyone extremely satisfied.

After having a full meal, Tian Dongfu invited Lin Heng to his home tomorrow night, and then left with a glowing face and a pair of rulers.

This old man usually doesn't take other people's things, so taking Lin Heng's ruler on his own initiative shows that he really regards him as one of his own.

After the others left, Xiulan asked curiously: "You invited the village party secretary, but not the village chief?"

"Of course not." Lin Heng shook his head.

"That's good, I don't want to see Zhao Hu come to our house either." Xiulan nodded, she also wanted Zhao Hu.

"After you have this drink tomorrow, it's time to think about other things." Lin Heng said while helping to pack things.

"What do you want to do? Do you want to start building the warehouse over at Hongfeng Mountain?" Xiulan turned around and asked.

"For those who are not in a hurry, there are still some saplings to buy. These will be over after the Spring Festival. I want us to go fishing in the upper reaches of the Heihe River. There are a lot of plum blossoms there. Let's have a picnic as a family and see the big rivers."

Lin Heng said with a smile.
