Return to the small mountain village in 1983

Chapter 358 Youth Memorial Homecoming
The higher you go up the mountain, the colder it gets. The roads are still frozen in the morning. As you enter Huangtan Town, you can see snow on the tops of the mountains in the distance.

Compared to the city decorated with lights and colors, the village looks much more ordinary. Only some couplets and red lanterns can be seen, and basically nothing else.

At this time, everyone has basically finished paying New Year's greetings and visiting relatives, and are all at home.

Lin Heng came back at around eight o'clock. He drove to his home first, but found the door closed. Then he went to Hongfeng Mountain.

"Dad, open the door."

Lin Heng shouted from afar at the door, he didn't have the key to the door.

After a while, Lin's father, wearing new clothes, came out. Seeing him, he was surprised and asked, "Son, why did you come back so suddenly? Where is Xiulan? Where are my two newborn grandchildren?"

At first he thought he had misheard.

Lin Heng looked at his father and said, "Xiu Lan and the children are in the city. I will come to pick you up and take some pictures. Then we will take the van back together. My car is not suitable for picking them up."

Father Lin opened the door and said, "Is that so? Then you guys can just go take the photos. Why did you come to pick us up?"

"There are no guests at home, right?" Lin Heng drove into the house and asked.

"No, a lot of people came in the past few days, including those I hadn't contacted before. They knew you were not at home, so they ate a meal and then left." Father Lin said as he got in the car.

"That's great. I'm too lazy to entertain so many people." Lin Heng smiled happily and said, "Since there are no guests at home, you can pack up, change into new clothes and come down with me."

"Then talk to your mother." Father Lin looked at him and said.

"What do you want to tell me? Where are my two precious grandsons?" Mother Lin asked curiously as she looked at the two of them.

Father Lin explained: "Xiu Lan and the others haven't come back yet, so your son is taking you to the city to take a family photo."

After Lin's mother understood, she readily agreed with a smile on her face: "Then go ahead, I haven't taken a photo yet."

"Why did you agree so easily? Aren't you afraid of spending money?" Father Lin asked in shock.

Mother Lin glanced at him and blamed him, "You are so happy during the Chinese New Year. Xiulan gave birth to two big fat boys. What's wrong with spending some money? I still have to give each of my two grandsons a big red envelope."

After that, she urged, "Come into the house with me and change your clothes."

Without Lin Heng and Xiulan, she had a very dull New Year and couldn't wait to see her two grandchildren.

Watching his parents clean up, Lin Heng walked around the doorstep and took a look at the musk deer and pigs nearby.

Musk deer are in good condition and have now adapted to life in captivity. They won't even look twice at people unless they have fodder in their hands.

The two pigs were not slaughtered during the Chinese New Year this year. They looked to have just exceeded 100 kilograms. The quality of pork grown without feed will be better, especially if they are fed a lot of acorns.

The ryegrass and elephant grass on the hillside were lush green and swaying in the wind. The chickens in the chicken coop had grown a lot and were walking around looking for food.

After taking a few glances, Lin Heng went home to warm himself by the fire because he was cold. After a while, his parents finished cleaning up and walked out of the house.

"What do you think of what we're wearing?" Lin's mother asked with a smile. They were all wearing the New Year clothes that Lin Heng bought for them last year.

This year during the Spring Festival he was busy taking care of his two children and basically did not prepare for the New Year. He just shot a roe deer and a black bear.

The only dress I bought was for Xiulan. She wore it when she was pregnant.

"Okay, the girl is pretty and the boy is handsome." Lin Heng gave a thumbs up.

Lin's mother was wearing a navy blue printed cotton jacket and black trousers, while Lin's father was wearing a brown cotton jacket and black cotton trousers. Both of them were wearing winter boots bought by Lin Heng.

"Nothing right!"

Mother Lin shook her head, but she was very happy in her heart.

"Hurry up and get in the car." Father Lin had already got in the car quickly.

After locking the door, Lin Heng drove them away. With the greyhound Fengshou here, nothing would go wrong. When they arrived at the village, Lin Heng said something to his eldest brother.

He originally wanted to invite his eldest brother to join him, but then he thought it would be inappropriate to invite him without inviting his eldest sister-in-law and three nephews.

I called everyone in and there is not enough space.

"By the way, Dad, are all the puppies born by Lai Fu okay?"

Lin Heng asked while driving.

"They're fine. I feed them milk every day and they're all plump." Father Lin nodded.

Lin Heng nodded: "That's good."

"Are my two grandsons well behaved?" Lin's mother asked this.

"Be good, go down and take a look and you'll know." Lin Heng responded with a smile.

He took turns driving with Lin's father along the way. Riding a motorcycle in winter was really a torture, and his hands were soon frozen and numb.

They entered the city at about one o'clock in the afternoon and arrived at the house rented by Lin Heng at half past one.

Xiulan heard the sound of the motorcycle and walked out of the house and greeted with a smile: "Happy New Year, Mom and Dad."

"Happy New Year, Grandpa and Grandma." Xiaoxia also waved her little hand to greet them.

"Xiu Lan, you are still in confinement. Go back to your room quickly and don't catch a cold." Lin's mother said hurriedly as she got out of the car. Xiu Lan, who gave birth to twin sons, became more precious in her eyes.

"It's okay, Mom. I'm almost recovered." Xiulan said with a smile.

Mother Lin pulled Xiulan into the house without saying anything: "That won't work either, hurry in."

Father Lin picked up Xiaoxia, chatted with her, and said that he had made a lot of delicious food for her.

As they entered the house, their attention was inevitably focused on the two newborn grandchildren.

At this moment, the two little guys had just finished feeding and were sleeping. They were white and plump lying on the bed. Mother Lin fell in love with the two beautiful grandchildren at first sight. She smiled and whispered, "Oh, they are exactly the same. Xiulan, can you tell which one is older and which one is younger?"

Father Lin also smiled and said, "These two little ones are so cute, with big eyes and double eyelids like Xiulan."

"You don't have to whisper. They are used to normal noises and won't wake up." Xiulan explained first, and then replied, "It seems that we can't tell them apart, but after taking care of them for a while, we can tell at a glance that the one on the left who likes to move around when sleeping is the younger brother Du Heng, and the older brother Lu Ming who sleeps neatly."

"Yes, my younger brother Du Heng likes to be active, and my nephew Lu Ming is very obedient." Caiyun also said.

"The older brother is only one minute older than the younger brother." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"I see. Luming and Duheng are nice names." Father Lin said with a smile.

Lin's mother thought the name was a little tongue-twisting, and said with a smile, "I'll ask Mother Guanyin to give the child two nicknames when we get back."

Then the two of them looked at each other, and one of them took out a red envelope from his pocket and placed it next to the two little grandchildren.

"I wish my two grandchildren good health and no disasters."

After giving their blessings, Mr. and Mrs. Lin gave Xiaoxia and Xiulan a red envelope respectively.

"Mom and Dad, you can just give it to Xiaoxia, why give it to me?" Xiulan shook her head repeatedly. "Of course you have to give a red envelope when you give birth to a child. This is a great event." Lin's father said.

Mother Lin held Xiulan's hand and said, "We didn't come down to accompany you when you gave birth. This red envelope is for you to buy some delicious food to make up for the loss."

"Mom and Dad, please don't give Xiulan to me." Lin Heng smiled and stretched out his hand.

"Get out of the way." Lin's mother slapped him directly.

Xiulan couldn't persuade her parents, so she could only accept: "Thank you, Mom and Dad."

Lin Heng watched them pass the red envelopes back and forth and shook his head helplessly. He looked at them and said, "Let's go to the photo studio. I have already told them this this morning."

"Let's wait until the kids wake up, then I'll take another look at my two little grandsons." Mother Lin didn't care about taking pictures at all, she looked at her two little grandsons with great affection.

"Then let's change clothes first, and then take pictures when the child wakes up." Lin Heng said to Xiulan.

"Okay." The two took Xiaoxia to the bedroom next door to change clothes, and Caiyun also went back to her room to change clothes.

Xiulan sat in front of the mirror and combed her hair. She had washed her hair yesterday and had left it down. Now she turned around and asked, "What hairstyle do you think would be suitable for me?"

"I think you look very beautiful now." Lin Heng said to Xiulan.

She now has long straight black hair with neat bangs. Her waist-length black hair is scattered neatly, with two strands passing through her shoulders and falling on her chest. Coupled with her pretty little face, she looks elegant and gentle.

"Really?" Xiulan turned her head and looked at him.

"Really? She'll charm thousands of boys when she goes out." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"Then I'll do this." Xiulan blinked, then she looked for some clothes again and finally chose a light brown mink coat that Lin Heng bought for her. It was both warm and safe to wear.

This dress was bought for her by Lin Heng years ago. It cost three hundred yuan and is made of real mink fur. It feels very soft and smooth.

She wore a pair of figure-hugging black trousers and a pair of brown short boots on her feet.

"Dad, I want to wear this."

Xiaoxia chose the same bright red cotton-padded jacket from Northeast China with the peony print on it from last year, as well as red pants and a hat. Only the shoes were white. With her pink oval face, she looked so cute that it was a bit too cute.

Lin Heng himself wore a black suit and tidied his hair. He looked handsome, steady and mature, with a look of vicissitudes in his eyes.

“Wow wow wow aa ...

"Wow wow..."

The three of them had just changed their clothes when they heard a child crying outside the door.

"Don't cry, don't cry, grandma will hold you."

Mother Lin wanted to reach out to hug her, but she cried even harder.

"I'll go, you continue to clean up." Lin Heng said to Xiulan who was still putting on lipstick.

"Mom, please move aside. They are shy." Lin Heng walked out and said.

When he walked over and reached out to comfort them, the two little guys stopped crying immediately, and their two pairs of big eyes looked at him with blinking eyes.

"Are you so shy?" Lin's mother said helplessly.

Lin Heng smiled and said, "Just wait for two days until you are familiar with it."

"Let me feed the baby first, so that she won't be hungry when I go out later." Xiulan said as she walked out, and took the baby to the bedroom to feed her. She also wrapped them both tightly to prevent them from being exposed to the cold wind.

After feeding the child, Caiyun was ready. She had a ponytail and wore a red cotton jacket with plum blossom prints on it, blue pants and a pair of white rubber shoes.

Although her good figure cannot be revealed due to the winter, her pure face gives people a feeling of spirituality and youthfulness, which is a temperament that can only be cultivated by reading frequently.

"Let's go take some pictures." Lin Heng said, and then he took his family and Xiongba to walk to the photo studio, which was only eight or nine hundred meters away from them.

Walking on the street, the family frequently attracted the attention of passers-by. No matter whether it was Lin Heng, Xiulan, Caiyun, or Xiaoxia, their looks were very superior among the crowd, and coupled with the decorations of their clothes, they could not help but give people a stunning feeling.

After a while, Lin Heng arrived in front of the photo studio. When the photographer saw Lin Heng, he hurried out to greet him: "Mr. Lin, please come in."

People like Lin Heng are big customers, so he couldn't help but be enthusiastic.

"Let's start taking pictures right away. It's not suitable for children to stay outside for a long time." Lin Heng said as he entered the house.

The photographer smiled and asked, "Well, I have arranged some interior scenes here. Which one do you like? Or the exterior scenes are also fine. The scenery nearby is very nice."

"Let's take a family photo indoors first." Lin Heng said after thinking for a while.

The eight people first took a large family photo. Lin Heng and Xiulan each held a son, Xiaoxia stood in front of them and was pulled, Caiyun was next to Lin Heng, and the parents stood on the outermost side.

Everyone smiled as they took the family portrait. Lin Heng then took two separate photos with Xiulan. These were belated wedding anniversary photos. This was also the first time they had taken photos since they got married.

There happened to be wedding clothes for newlyweds here, so Lin Heng and Xiulan changed into them and took a few photos. Originally, they asked their parents to take photos like this, but they were shy and said they would not wear them no matter what, so in the end they took a photo together wearing their new clothes.

Finally, Caiyun and Xiaoxia took a photo alone, Lin Heng and Caiyun took a photo alone, and everyone took a photo alone.

Since he had come to shoot anyway, Lin Heng didn't mind spending money. Although this thing was expensive, he felt it was worth it.

It took more than an hour in total. After finishing, Lin Heng and Xiulan took their son back to the house first, while Caiyun took her parents and Xiaoxia for a walk nearby.

After returning home, he changed the baby's diaper first, and then fed the baby. Then Lin Heng went to see the doctor and asked him to prescribe some medicine for him. Although the baby was healthy now, it might not be the same after returning home, so he had to return it to Yu Weiran.

Finally, I bought a lot of daily necessities, especially baby products.

Everything was ready. After a simple dinner in the evening, Lin Heng rented a van early the next morning, loaded up his things, and set off for home.

No matter how good the city is, they always feel that the small village deep in the mountains is their real home.

Lin Heng's three-wheeled vehicle was driven by his father, and everyone else went back in a van.

"No, I'm going to throw up!"

After walking a short distance, Lin's mother couldn't stand it anymore.

"Me too, I feel nauseous and want to vomit." Caiyun also said, covering her mouth.

"Dad, me too!" Xiaoxia said uncomfortably.

"Then you can only take a tricycle." Lin Heng said helplessly, then turned his head to look at Xiulan: "Wife, are you okay?"

"I'm a little carsick, but it's okay." Xiulan held the child and shook her head slightly.

"That's good." Lin Heng breathed a sigh of relief. It would be troublesome if Xiulan also got carsick.

In the end, Caiyunlin's mother couldn't stand it anymore and got off the car. She would rather suffer the cold than ride in the van.

Only Lin Heng Xiulan and her two newborn sons were in the car. They moved slowly along the way, and at 12:15 noon, they finally returned to Hongfeng Village.
