Return to the small mountain village in 1983

Chapter 254 A long-awaited heavy rain and Xiulan in spring

Xiulan put the money in her pocket temporarily and went to the back hill with Lin Heng to plant melon seedlings.

After Father Lin pulled some away, there were still eight watermelon seedlings, five cantaloupe seedlings, and eight cucumber seedlings.

Lin Heng pulled up the seedlings and took them to the back hill, dug a hole in a place with plenty of soil and planted them. After that, I don't care about it except for some excrement. Pick it up if you like it, and pull it down if you don't.

In rural areas, melons and fruits are grown without any care at all. They are everywhere anyway, and one of them will eventually bear fruit.

After planting the melon seedlings, Xiulan said again: "You dig a few more holes, and I'll get some dry cucumbers and pumpkin and winter melon seeds to plant."

In their country, the long and slender ones are called water cucumbers, while the native ones with a thick and short shape are called dry cucumbers. Water cucumbers are less likely to bear fruit than dry cucumbers, and rural areas like to grow dry cucumbers.

Avoiding the location of the saplings, Lin Heng dug ten more holes. Xiulan brought the seeds over, and Xiaoxia rushed over and said, "Mom, I want to plant them too~"

"Here you go, just sprinkle it in." Xiulan handed the seeds to Xiaoxia and taught her to sprinkle them into the pit.

"I planted~"

"Then I need to ask for your opinion." Xiulan smiled slightly and scattered the seeds.

Naturally, we can’t eat all these fruits. Most of them will be picked to feed the pigs in summer and autumn.

Hong Zao ran like crazy and walked back quickly.

When he was a child, he and his brother liked to find a small piece of land to plant cucumbers and sunflowers. They had to observe and water them every day, pick up cow dung and fertilize everywhere, and finally eat cucumbers and melon seeds, which would fill their hearts with a sense of accomplishment and happiness. Full.

"Boom!!"

"You can plant whatever you want." Lin Heng said with a smile.

Lin Heng was caught off guard, clamped his legs and speeded up.

But it doesn't matter. The seeds you keep at home are not valuable. If you have more seeds, you can just pull them out after they sprout. Each of the ten pits was planted with pumpkins in three pits, winter melons in three pits, and cucumbers in three pits.

There isn't much land in the yard, so just plant some of each kind. Don't worry about not having enough to eat. Father and Mother Lin plant a large piece every year, so they only worry about not being able to finish it.

Just halfway through, there was a loud bang and the rain suddenly became much heavier.

"I'll water it!"

Xiaoxia took the seeds and scattered them randomly. There were more than ten or twenty seeds in one hole.

Hongzao also hadn't run for a long time and ran wildly on the road with a neighing sound. The cold wind blows on my face on this road, and riding a horse feels like fighting a sword to the end of the world.

Lin Heng watched from the side and gave some guidance. From planting a seed to flowering and bearing fruits, and then eating the melons grown by yourself is a very satisfying feeling.

During the planting process, you can also clearly observe the growth process of the plants and gain experience. Taking your children to grow fruits is definitely a very cost-effective parent-child activity.

"Go ahead and be careful of the rain."

After a while, all the land in the yard was planted, and only the strawberry land was half empty, because Lin Heng planned to plant all the twenty square meters into strawberries.

Lin Heng waved his hand, turned around and went to the back mountain to lead Hong Zao out, and rode directly to Hongfeng Mountain without getting on the saddle.

After planting, Lin Heng took another look at the sky, turned around and said, "Xiulan, I'm going to Hongfeng Mountain to have a look."

Lin Heng walked to the place and found that the thing was gone. He had seen a piece of cow hair here before, but it was too small and had not been folded. Now that he came over, it was gone.

Lin Heng also said that he was looking around again, and it started to rain lightly.

"Damn, it's so fast!"

The people farming in the village also ran back quickly like Lin Heng. However, the manpower was too slow after all. Lin Heng returned home and locked the red dates in the horse pen. The people in the field only walked a few hundred meters.

Niumaoguang is also a type of bracken, but it has a layer of spider silk-like fluff on it. After being torn off, it looks like bracken.

There is no need to raise seedlings for these vegetables. If you scatter a few more seeds in a nest, some will come out. If there are more, just transplant them.

On the Hongfeng Mountain side, the ground has initially hardened after a night, and people can stand on it.

After watering, Lin Heng looked at his watch. It was only half past ten. But the sky was still gray, there was no sunshine and there was quite a bit of wind.

She got these little tomato seeds from someone last year. The tomatoes produced are the size of pigeon eggs and taste good when eaten raw.

"Niu Maoguang was actually broken, so fast!"

"Whoosh!!"

Lin Heng felt comfortable looking at the neat and clean road, and turned around to go to the nearby mountain stream.

Back in the front yard, Lin Heng and Xiulan continued to plant some other vegetables, mainly green beans, cowpeas, tomatoes, eggplants, loofah, bitter melon, and beauty peppers.

"Pour it in the middle!"

In addition to Niu Maoguang, there are many small chun trees here, but there are no chun buds at this moment. They have a high altitude here, so they have to wait until the Tomb Sweeping Day to have buds. The big cedar trees that are tens of meters high don't have buds until a week after the Tomb Sweeping Day.

"hiss!!"

"Let's plant some tomatoes, big and small." Xiulan said, holding the tomato seeds.

"No, it's raining."

"Sigh~~"

Feeling bad, he immediately ran to Hong Zao, rode on him and headed back.

Xiulan nodded and said that she originally wanted to go out to pick some wild vegetables, but she was worried about the rain.

After planting, Lin Heng brought water to water, and Xiaoxia also wanted to try it herself.

A long-awaited spring rain fell. This rain was heavier than any previous rain. For a moment, water started to flow from the ground, and the eaves dripped into lines.

The raindrops hit the ground, splashing round bubbles, which broke in an instant. Lin Heng stood at the gate and watched the people in the field being drenched, feeling a little gloating in his heart.

But even if it rained, no one complained that it shouldn't have rained, they just felt that it rained too fast.

After running back home, people stood at the door like Lin Heng and watched the rain, watching the trees gradually being washed green, watching the ground gradually becoming alive, and watching the sky gradually turning blue.

"What a nice rain! What a blessing from God."

Lin Heng closed the door, ran back to the house quickly and shouted with a smile.

"Yes, this spring rain has come so well!" Xiulan also nodded. She hasn't seen such heavy rain for a long time.

After this rain comes, whether it is fruit trees, Chinese medicinal materials or pastures they plant, the probability of survival will at least double.

"It rains well, it rains well~"

Xiaoxia danced and danced with Benben, swaying her three braids upwards.

Not only were the three of them watching the rain, but the family's three dogs and one cat were also standing under the eaves watching the rain, sticking out their tongues.

Not only was the rain heavy, but the wind was also strong, causing the wind chimes to make a crisp tinkling sound.

"Come on, let's go back to the house, it's a bit cold!"

After watching the rain for a while, Xiulan said.

Lin Heng nodded, called the cat and dog into the house, closed the door, and then opened the backyard door to give the dog a passage to go to the toilet.

They themselves went back to the bedroom, opened a window, sat on the chairs and watched the rain out of boredom. When they were tired, they could only read a book to kill time.

When there is no Internet or TV, even very obscure books can be read. In fact, Lin Heng had read many of the books here in his previous life, but he had a different feeling when he read them again.

Recently, Lin Heng began to read Capital, which he had never read in his previous life. If he wanted to be an outstanding people's entrepreneur, how could he allow himself not to study this great book? It's just that this kind of book is too profound. It's difficult for Lin Heng to read it himself, but it's impossible for Xiulan and Xiaoxia to understand it.

Therefore, Xiulan took a book to read by herself, while Xiaoxia played with plasticine and made little figures.

When I was reading, I felt that time flew by so fast, and it was already dark after I had read more than fifty pages. But the rain still didn't stop, and the rain was so loud that it drowned out all other sounds in the world.

Xiulan turned on the light, looked at Lin Heng and said, "What are you planning to eat tonight?"

"That's fine. Why don't we just eat a little later." Lin Heng raised his head and said.

"Okay, I'm going downstairs."

Xiulan nodded, opened the door and went to the kitchen.

After a while, the meal was ready. Three bowls of green onion clear soup noodles, a little sesame oil, and a fried egg were added, which tasted full of flavor.

After eating, Lin Heng didn't want to continue reading. He leaned against the door and watched the rain for a while, until it was so dark that no light could be seen.

In the room, Xiulan was practicing pen calligraphy, and Xiaoxia was still playing with plasticine. Lin Heng read for a while, started telling stories to Xiaoxia, asked her to drink some milk, and gradually fell into sleep.

It rained continuously all night and didn't stop until five or six o'clock in the morning on the 27th.

"It seems the rain has stopped!"

At half past six, Xiulan woke up in a daze and reached out to touch Lin Heng.

"Yes, it seems that we just stopped not long ago. Let's take a day of sunbathing today, and then we can go for an outing tomorrow."

Lin Heng responded without opening his eyes, and stretched out his arms to hug Xiulan out of habit.

"Hmm~"

Xiulan hummed softly, then leaned her face against Lin Heng's chest and hugged him with both hands, and there was no movement again.

Lin Heng was the same. He didn't even open his eyes and fell asleep quickly.

We both fell asleep a little late last night and both of us were a little sleepy this morning. Mainly because I was a little late reading a book last night, not because of sex.

"Mom, I need to go to the toilet!"

At half past seven, Xiaoxia suddenly made a sound, and both of them woke up immediately.

"I'm coming."

Lin Heng put on his clothes in two seconds and carried Xiaoxia to the toilet. Xiulan took the opportunity to find a new set of underwear and put them on to get up.

The air outside is fresh, the sky is blue, the forest seems to have turned a lot greener overnight, and even the bluestone floor tiles washed by the rain are particularly neat.

In the sky, the golden sun was particularly dazzling, and the hot sunlight was about to shine on his yard.

After returning home and dressing Xiaoxia, the family of three went to the backyard to exercise.

"The sun is nice today. Let's get some sunbathing after exercising." Xiulan said, looking at the blue sky.

She had a premonition that it would be very hot today, so she wore thin clothing. The upper body is a white autumn coat, a pink and white printed plaid shirt, and the lower body is a pair of gray trousers and a pair of white canvas shoes.

Her hair was tied up high, with only two thin needle-like black clips to hold the broken hair. This dress makes her full of youthful and beautiful temperament, as well as an elegant and intellectual beauty.

Lin Heng was a little distracted by the exquisite figure. Although he had already seen everything in it, he felt completely different when he put on different clothes.

So much so that when he practiced bow and arrow, his aim was unsteady.

"Doesn't it look good?"

Xiulan winked at Lin Heng and asked with a smile. She dressed up specially to show Lin Heng.

"Yeah, it looks good." Lin Heng nodded repeatedly.

"That's good~"

Xiulan was satisfied and her walking pace became much more brisk.

When the three of them went to milk the cows, the road in the back mountain was a bit muddy. Fortunately, it was paved with some broken bluestones, otherwise it would be impossible to walk in the morning.

"It's raining so well!"

The three of them milked the cows for a while, and then Father Lin came back with a bundle of cow grass. He got up early and walked around the village several times.

"Dad, are you going to plant corn and soybeans in two days?" Lin Heng looked at his father and asked.

Father Lin nodded and said, "Yes, I have already planted the rice sprouts, which are now three centimeters high. When the weather clears, I will plow the ground and plant early corn and soybeans. The rest will be planted after the wheat and rapeseed are harvested. ”

"What's wrong, do you want to go up the mountain?" Father Lin put some grass on the cow and asked with a smile.

Lin Heng nodded and said, "Yes, we will go for an outing in Heihe tomorrow and hunt bears at the source of Heihe around Qingming Festival. Are you going, dad?"

After the bear hunting is over, you can start cultivating shrimp seedlings. Green shrimps start to reproduce in April and May, and their life cycle is only more than a year, so they will grow into prawns in September and can be sold.

"I guess I don't have time. You can go and have fun. You and your brother are enough for bear hunting." Father Lin shook his head with a smile.

"It's just a day of fun. I'll just make two more trips. It won't take much effort." Lin Heng said. He felt that his father chose not to go because he felt that he couldn't do it.

"Let's go fishing in the summer. I have to plow the fields tomorrow." Father Lin shook his head.

"OK then."

Lin Heng stopped insisting and walked back after milking the cow. In the morning I ate potato pancakes and drank milk.

After eating, Lin Heng didn't want to go out because there was pulp everywhere. It would be best to wait for the sun to shine today.

Xiulan took out the quilt and put it on the rope to dry, then took a basket of clothes and came over to touch Lin Heng: "Hubby, come with me to wash the clothes."

"If you don't want to go, let's go and bask in the sun for a while. You can come over and bask in the sun too." Lin Heng shook his head. The sun was so comfortable at the moment.

"I don't want to go to the river alone, get up quickly~"

Xiulan pulled him, her tone was coquettish.

Seeing that Lin Heng didn't move, she stood in front to cover the sun and looked at him with a pair of big watery eyes.

Looking up at this pretty face, Lin Heng spread his hands and said, "Okay, okay, then go, you really can't stay idle."

"The river is so fun. The water is very strong today." Xiulan winked and pulled him up with a smile.

She was happy washing clothes by herself, even if Lin Heng was playing with the water and ignoring her. She was happier than washing clothes with the women in the village.

"Let's go Xiaoxia."

Lin Heng picked up Xiaoxia who was playing with a rubber ball, took an extra small bamboo basket, and took Xiongba out with him.

The ground was a little muddy, but not enough to sink into.

The spring breeze is warm on the road, and from a distance, the fields are covered with green. This kind of green is very eye-catching.

“The water is so beautiful!”

After a while, three people and one dog came to the river. The water in Shiban River was still clear, but it was more than four or five times larger than usual, and it rushed downstream.

With such warm sun and clear river water, people feel like they want to play with it.
