Return to the small mountain village in 1983

Chapter 241 Go to Ancheng to buy saplings
Early the next morning, Lin Heng was woken up by Xiulan.

I worked several times last night and was really tired.

"Here, I've sewed your shirt as you asked."

Seeing Lin Heng wake up, Xiulan handed him the shirt. Lin Heng had two pockets sewn on the front of his shirt, each containing a thousand dollars. To withdraw the money, he had to remove the threads.

This is what Lin Heng asked her to do when he went to bed last night.

"Thank you, wife."

Lin Heng looked at Xiulan, who was sitting in front of her in a duck-like position wearing only black underwear. He turned his head and kissed her snow-white legs.

"Get up quickly, I'm going to make breakfast for you."

Xiulan rolled her eyes at her, picked up her clothes and put them on. Her plump figure was hidden bit by bit by the clothes, and finally there was no trace at all.

Only Lin Heng, whom she fell in love with, knew how beautiful and plump her figure was under these thick clothes.

I bought some pancakes and steamed buns, and a bucket of gasoline to take with me. Then I walked around for a while, and it was almost time to come back.

Wearing a sweater and a thick coat, even if someone touched his chest, he wouldn't be able to feel it.

When he finished washing and came to the main room, Xiulan had already prepared the meal. Four dishes, one soup and rice were brought to the table: "Eat quickly."

But their excitement soon passed, because the journey to Anseong was more than 180 kilometers, and they had to travel at a speed of more than 50 kilometers per hour for three hours.

While Lin Heng was eating, Xiulan became verbose again, holding her chin with her hand and refusing to eat.

"Of course I know, I just want to remind you." Xiulan whispered.

"I'm just going out to do something and I'll be back in three days at most. What are you worried about?" Lin Heng said with a smile.

Lin Yue also nodded repeatedly: "This land is really good. The wheat is even higher than in our mountains."

Lin Heng finished his meal quickly, checked the car, and took the repair wrench.

The highest mountain in the distance is only twenty or thirty meters tall, so it cannot be called a mountain at all.

You must be careful when traveling far away, otherwise something may happen easily.

After taking a look at his daughter who was still sleeping soundly, Lin Heng went out to complete his morning exercise as usual. Xiulan was making breakfast and was not with him.

Lin Heng put on his raincoat and said with a smile: "It's like this. If we walk for a while, we will be outside the boundaries of Taibai City."

There wasn't much sun today, it was cloudy, and people driving in cars couldn't bear the cold wind. Fortunately, they all wore helmets, otherwise their ears would freeze off.

"Even though the land here is good, farming is not profitable." Lin Heng said with a smile.

Lin Heng didn't act like a monster, stretched out, put on his clothes and got up.

"It's so flat, it turns out this is endless." Lin Hai said with emotion.

"Let's go pick up Lin Hai." Lin Heng said and sat in the side compartment.

Finally, he put the black satchel on his back and drove out. As soon as he reached the road, his elder brother also went out and trotted down.

About fifty kilometers away from Changbai City, the sky suddenly started to rain, and the rain became heavier and heavier. Lin Heng could only park the car on the side of the road and put on a raincoat. Fortunately, he bought a raincoat.

After walking for about fifty kilometers, the rain not only stopped but the sun came out and the sky was cloudless. This was the first time that Lin Yue and Lin Hai experienced the feeling of rain in the east and sunny in the west.

"We can only wait." Lin Heng spread his hands and said.

"Brother Lin Heng, should we wait here now?" Lin Hai looked around. He who seldom came to the city was full of curiosity about this place.

"Okay." Lin Yue didn't refuse, drove to pick up Lin Hai, and then set off directly to the city.

There are no expressways now, and the corridor is just a two-lane cement road. Asphalt roads are only found in big cities now. Since the 1990s, roads have started to get better and better, and expressways have been gradually built.

"That was before, I have changed it."

"Then let's go around the neighborhood and buy some dry food for the road."

"That's much better than our mountain." Lin Yue liked the land here and discussed it excitedly with Lin Hai.

After leaving the city, we gradually lost sight of the mountains. At a glance, there were plains on both sides of the road. Rapeseed and wheat are planted in the plain, which is like a vast green sea. The breeze blows through the green wheat and undulates like waves, making people who watch it feel happy.

Lin Heng thought for a while and said, he knew Lin Hai wanted to look around.

"How about I drive for a while?" Lin Yue looked at Lin Heng and said.

"Damn it, it's not cloudy, why is it raining?" Lin Hai said while putting on his raincoat.

It was only ten o'clock when he arrived in the city. Lin Heng looked at his watch and went directly to the transportation company to inquire about the situation.

"This should be called raining in the east and sunny in the west." Lin Yue sighed.

Xiulan looked at him: "You used to say you would go out for a while and then not come home for half a month."

After taking off his raincoat, Lin Yue drove instead. Lin Heng sat in the back seat and looked at the scenery on both sides. The beautiful wheat fields under the sunset were very soothing.

The driver of the motorcade next to me was having breakfast and would probably not set off until twelve o'clock.

Lin Heng naturally knew the way to Ancheng, so he drove ahead to avoid getting ashes, but he didn't go too fast either.

"I'll drive for a while." Lin Heng shook his head, glanced at the convoy that was already following him, and continued to set off.

Naturally, he couldn't put all of his three thousand yuan in his bag. If he encountered any danger on the way to Ancheng, all his money would not be lost if his bag was robbed.

When most people see so much money in the bag, they would never think that he still has two thousand on him.

By this time, they had arrived at the boundary of Anseong. As they got closer, some high-rise buildings began to appear, which were much more developed than Taebaek City.

Lin Yue and Lin Hai both felt shocked, while Lin Heng was dozing off and felt his butt hurt from sitting for too long. It was not like going to a high-rise building, it was far different from the future generations.

As he got closer and closer to Ancheng, Lin Heng got back into the driving seat and arrived at the transportation company's terminal. He found a hotel nearby to rest for the night, and waited for the truck to unload the goods. He would go with him to pick up the goods tomorrow morning. .

"Let's go, let's go to the hotel to rest after dinner."

Lin Heng took his elder brother Lin Yue to a restaurant and ordered three bowls of fried noodles. After eating, he found a hotel to sleep in and did not dare to stay outside for too long.

Although there were no accidents on the way here, it doesn't mean that nothing happened.

"Hey, are you looking for a lady?"

As soon as the three of them fell asleep, there was a knock on the door outside.

Lin Yue and Lin Hai were both shocked. Is this so blatant?

"I'm not looking for it." Lin Heng shouted roughly.

There was no further disturbance, and the three of them slept until midnight. Suddenly Lin Heng heard the sound of the door opening outside, and quickly woke up his eldest brother and Lin Heng.

"What are you doing?" Lin Heng opened the door fiercely, and the three of them stood at the door with sticks and wrenches in hand. ,

"Brother, I opened the wrong door."

The thief who broke into the door to steal something was startled, turned around with a smile, and ran away without looking back.

"Let's go back to sleep."

Lin Heng took one look and closed the door. "Is this big place so messy?" Lin Hai didn't understand.

Lin Heng smiled: "It's the same in every city. Big cities are more messy. Only high-end places are not messy."

"Do you want me to guard you in the middle of the night?" Lin Yue said aloud.

"No, it should be fine." Lin Heng shook his head. He was a little too familiar with the bed, and his sleep was very light here.

Early the next morning, Lin Heng put on his Chinese tunic suit, took the two of them to eat steamed dumplings, and then drove to do errands.

He went directly to the largest Agricultural Science Institute in Anseong, which was also the Provincial Agricultural Science Institute. There are all kinds of seeds and saplings here, and the quality is top-notch, and there are also some newly cultivated seedlings.

Although saplings can be purchased at the Agricultural Science Institute in Changbai City, the quality is not very good. The time cycle for planting trees is very long, and if the seedlings are not good enough, they will be destroyed.

"What kind of sapling do you want to buy?"

When Lin Heng came in, a salesperson greeted him.

Lin Heng asked: "I am going to buy kiwis, sugar oranges, apples, and grapes. It is best to buy three-year-old seedlings. What varieties are there?"

"It seems that you bought a lot. Let me introduce it to you slowly."

The salesman brought a brochure and explained it to Lin Heng.

The most popular grape seedlings in this era are Kyoho and Hongti. These are long-lasting varieties that many people plant. In addition, there are self-developed varieties such as Hutai No. 8 and Baijing No. 1 studied by the Institute of Agricultural Sciences.

There are also many varieties of kiwi fruit, including Green Star No. 3, Hongyang No. 2 and so on. Apples mainly include red banana, red Fuji, Guoguang and other varieties.

There is only one native variety of sugar orange.

The breeding technology for Chinese New Year in this era has just begun to develop, and there are not many types yet.

Lin Heng's family still has 40 acres of open land. Not counting rice fields, there are still 30 acres. If we reclaim some wasteland and barren mountains, it will almost reach 40 acres.

Generally speaking, one acre of land can grow 100 fruit trees, with fewer larger fruit trees, and more grapes and kiwis.

Lin Heng’s father and eldest brother discussed it at home and decided to mainly grow kiwis, apples and grapes.

Lin Heng naturally chooses three-year-old seedlings when growing his own. Kyoho's three-year grafted seedlings cost 200 cents each, and Lin Heng buys seedlings for yuan.

A three-year-old grafted Red Fuji apple seedling costs 200 cents a piece, and Lin Heng buys a thousand of them for yuan.

The most expensive is Hongyang kiwi, a newly developed variety. A two-year-old grafted seedling costs 600 cents per plant, and trees cost yuan.

So much is definitely superfluous.

But Lin Heng also bought some extra 110 sugar oranges, pear trees, strawberry seedlings, watermelon seedlings, corn, rice, soybean seeds, and other fruits and vegetables. Seeds, some planting and maintenance books, etc., these added up to yuan.

Lin Heng will not buy the other ones for the time being.

"Is your nursery base far away? I want to see the seedlings on the spot." When the conversation was almost over, Lin Heng said.

Although it is almost impossible to go wrong here as the Provincial Agricultural Science Institute, it is still a good idea.

"Of course, you come with me." The salesman smiled and led Lin Heng and the others to see the seedlings.

"There are so many. Are they all seedlings?" Lin Yue said, looking at the seedling base.

"There are one hundred acres here, and it's just one of our nursery bases." The salesman said with a smile.

"It's so big." Lin Yue secretly exclaimed.

After a while, they arrived at their destination. At this time, the fruit trees had not sprouted, and they could only see the thickness. The saplings on three sides were three centimeters thick, and the grape saplings were thicker than a thumb.

After reading it, everyone was quite satisfied, so we negotiated the contract, paid the deposit, and asked the company to plant the seeds today, and he would deliver the goods tomorrow morning.

"Brother Lin, do you want to plant some fruit trees in my house?" Lin Heng's contract was negotiated, and Lin Hai asked again.

Lin Heng glanced at him and said with a smile: "I suggest you plant about ten acres of land. Three-year seedlings are expensive, so you can buy one-year seedlings. If you want to plant them, I can plant them for you, but that's not the case. It’s free of charge, we brothers will settle the score.”

"Brother Lin, what fruit trees do you think I should plant that are easier to take care of?" Lin Hai asked again.

"Then I suggest you plant pomegranate or jujube trees, or kiwi fruit." Lin Heng thought for a while and said.

Lin Hai hesitated and said, "Then I'll buy kiwis too. Hongyang's one-year grafted seedlings will be fine. I'll buy a thousand kiwis."

A grafted seedling costs a dime a year, and a thousand grafted seedlings costs one hundred yuan. It is not a small amount of money for him, but it is still affordable.

"Okay, let's buy another thousand grafted seedlings for one year." Lin Heng found a salesman and bought another batch.

Pointing to one hundred yuan, Lin Heng lent it directly to Lin Hai. As long as it was paid back within three years, there would be no interest. After all, they didn't have much money, and they were still brothers.

Lin Hai borrowed paper and pen from the counter, wrote an IOU, fingerprinted it and handed it to Lin Heng.

"No need, it's just a hundred yuan." Lin Heng waved his hand.

Lin Hai shook his head: "Brother, it is a huge kindness for you to lend me so much money for free. If I don't even dare to write an IOU, then I am worse than a beast. And if you have an IOU, you can't talk to your sister-in-law when you go back."

After saying that, he handed the IOU to Lin Heng. Since he was the one borrowing the money, he must make the borrower feel at ease.

"Okay, I'll take it." Lin Heng smiled and patted Lin Hai on the shoulder. It was really comfortable to have this kind of friend.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yue felt a little embarrassed and said, "Brother, I'm going to wait until I get home and calculate the money before I write you an IOU."

Lin Heng runs a fish pond himself, and these saplings were bought for him and his father, which is equivalent to free support for him.

Although they are brothers, they are already married, which is definitely a great favor.

"It doesn't matter, brother, I believe you will pay me back if you make money." Lin Heng said with a smile.

Lin Yue shook his head and said: "Then you have to write an IOU. You don't care if Xiulan feels comfortable after reading it. I'll write it for you when I get back."

Lin Heng didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, started the car and said, "Let's go, we have to buy other things."

"Brother Lin Heng, what else do you want to buy?" Lin Hai asked curiously.

"First go and see if they sell oxygen pumps, and then buy two cows to raise."

Lin Heng said with a smile.

He is engaged in intensive farming. If there is an oxygen pump, the breeding density can be increased a lot, and there is no need to worry about the shrimp being hypoxic.

Buying a cow is something that has been planned for a long time. It is to give Xiaoxia milk to grow up. Naturally, the milk bought on the market is not as good as milking one's own milk.

"This will probably cost a lot of money." Lin Yue said curiously.

"Of course, everything costs money." Lin Heng smiled and continued: "I'm also going to see feed production machines and the like."

Now is the time when domestic breeding and cultivation are booming. Lin Heng wants to open a feed factory of his own. Selling feed can be more profitable than breeding.

"Are you going to make your own feed?"

"Yes, I have this idea." Lin Heng nodded.

While driving, Lin Heng inquired about some specific locations, and then walked towards the machinery factory.
