Return to the small mountain village in 1983

Chapter 417 Everything Familiar

"Big Brother and Second Brother, you are finally back!"

Lin Heng and the others waited outside for a while before Caiyun came out trotting.

"We just came back. Are our parents asleep?" Lin Heng asked.

Caiyun opened the door and said with a smile: "I was just about to take a break, but I got up when I heard you guys shouting."

Lin Heng nodded, holding his daughter and walked inside. As he walked, he asked, "Have the road up the mountain and the cement for the platform been paved?"

"It's all finished and it looks very different now. You can come and see it tomorrow morning." Caiyun said with a smile.

A group of people walked across the pond and came into the house. Father and Mother Lin also got up and looked at the two of them and asked, "Are you all back?"

"No, some of the stuff is still on the mountain. My eldest uncle and third uncle are still there."

Lin Heng explained and urged them to go over together.

They nodded, made the fire, and walked over with Lin Heng and the other two.

Soon a group of people arrived at Lin Heng's house. Caiyun, the parents, was shocked to see a large pile of meat on the bamboo mat on the ground: "So much, is this only part of it?"

"Yes, there are still a lot of things on the mountain." Lin Heng nodded with a smile.

Lin Yue sighed beside him, "My brother is the best on the mountain this time. He caught this sika deer yesterday by setting a trap. In addition, there are a lot of other gains."

"With so much meat, it's enough to eat even if we don't slaughter pigs for a few years." Lin's mother sighed.

Father Lin said with a smile: "Now I don't have any reaction when I see so much meat, but two years ago I would have drooled just by seeing it."

"My dad is the best." Xiaoxia said in admiration, raising her hands.

At this time, Xiulan in the kitchen also spoke up: "Hurry up and hang up the meat, the meal is ready."

"it is good."

Lin Heng nodded in agreement, then took some plastic wrap to wrap the venison and put it in the freezer to freeze. The other bacon and chicken were already prepared and could be hung directly on the wall.

They finished cleaning up, and Li Baiquan came out of the shower. They brought the dishes to the table, poured some rice wine, and everyone gathered together to eat.

Xiulan cooked four dishes tonight, but they were all served in small bowls. They were stir-fried venison, stir-fried bacon with pickled radish, spicy and sour potato slices, and cold vermicelli.

"Dad, uncle, brother, let's have a drink!"

Lin Heng picked up the rice wine and said something, and dinner began.

After drinking, he picked up a large piece of venison with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. He exclaimed: "Delicious, this is the taste of venison. My wife's cooking is delicious."

"Yes, it's delicious." Li Baiquan also affirmed that in the mountains, that could only be called filling the stomach, but this made at home was a beautiful thing.

"It has to be sika deer, it tastes as good as beef." Lin Yue also said.

"Then you guys eat more." Xiulan smiled slightly and picked up a piece of food for Lin Heng with chopsticks.

Drinking rice wine and eating meat, with his family around him, Lin Heng was particularly satisfied, and all the depression in his heart was swept away.

The meal took an hour, and it was already past nine o'clock when we finished.

The things brought back will not be distributed for the time being, and will be distributed after everyone comes back.

Of course, personal belongings are not affected, including the saffron and bezoar and cordyceps that Lin Heng made himself.

"Each of you can take some of these saffron and take them back to soak in water to drink. Just put two or three at a time."

Lin Heng divided some saffron and gave them to Lin's mother, sister-in-law, and Caiyun, about two or three grams each. There were sometimes thousands of saffron.

"You can take this good thing and sell it. I'm in good health, so there's no need for it." Mother Lin handed it back out of habit.

"Yes, I want to drink it. Your eldest brother also made it. You can give this to Xiulan." Liu Juan also handed it back.

"Don't act weird, just take it." Lin Heng said, and then looked at Caiyun and said, "Tell mom to drink it often. This thing won't work if it's left for too long."

"Okay, I will supervise Mom." Caiyun nodded repeatedly.

After chatting for a few words, everyone left and his uncle went to the old house of the Lin family to rest.

Lin Heng found a glass bottle, put a little bit of quicklime in it, then separated it with cloth and poured all the saffron into it.

"Take it and keep it. Drink some whenever you are fine." Lin Heng handed it to Xiulan and said that this thing is also very good for postpartum recovery and is just right for her.

"There are so many. We can sell some. I definitely can't finish it." Xiulan said as she looked at the pile of saffron.

"It's not a big deal, just drink yours." Lin Heng looked at her and said.

"It's unnecessary to have so much. It's better to change the money and buy something else." Xiulan insisted.

"Then let's wait until the New Year and go sell them together." Lin Heng had no choice but to say this.

Only then did Xiulan nod.

Then, Lin Heng found a box to store the bezoar and cordyceps.

After this was done, he shoveled the coals from the living room fireplace to the bedroom fireplace.

"Dad, I want to hear lots of stories." Xiaoxia was acting coquettishly at him on the bed.

"Wait a moment." Although Lin Heng was a little tired, he still agreed.

After fixing the fireplace, Lin Hengxian walked over to check on his two sons. Xiulan was holding them and changing their diapers after they finished peeing.

Now they are ten months old and are much easier to take care of than before. If I let them pee once before going to bed, they rarely wet the bed in the middle of the night.

Xiulan is now gradually weaning them off breast milk and transitioning them to complementary foods and milk.

They are almost one year old, and their gastrointestinal functions have improved, so they can digest milk.

"Call me daddy!" Lin Heng teased Lin Luming and said with a smile.

"Hehe... Dad~"

Lin Luming shouted with a silly smile, grabbing at the air with his little hands.

"Come on, Du Heng, call me daddy too." Xiulan finished changing Du Heng's diaper and held him next to Lin Heng and said.

"Dad!"

Du Heng called out a little more clearly than his brother and stretched out his hands towards Lin Heng. He even knew Lin Heng.

"What a good baby." Lin Heng smiled and hugged him. The little guy was so white and very cute.

The facial features of both children are more like Xiulan, only the face shape and nose bridge are similar to Lin Heng.
In comparison, Xiaoxia's appearance is a combination of Lin Heng and Xiulan.

After holding them for a while, Lin Heng put them in the cradle and let Xiulan coax them to sleep. He went to bed and held Xiaoxia in his arms and told her a story.

Xiaoxia knows a lot now. Every time Lin Heng tells her a story, she will ask a lot of strange questions.

By the time the three children fell asleep, it was almost ten o'clock.

"Wife~"

Lin Heng looked at Xiulan kneeling beside the bed covering her son with a quilt, and couldn't help but go over and hug her slender waist.

"Oh, don't make trouble."

Feeling Lin Heng's respect for her, Xiulan blushed and glared at him.

But Lin Heng did not let go. He really missed Xiulan. They hadn't seen each other for almost a month.

"I hate you!"

Xiulan's body softened, and she quickly covered the child with the quilt, then pulled down the gauze curtain to separate them, and then turned around to hit Lin Heng, but she suddenly got into his arms, and her arms couldn't help but wrap around his neck. After a fierce kiss, they peeled each other like peeling bamboo shoots.
"Wife, feed me~"

"Um……"

Xiulan stuffed delicious food into Lin Heng's mouth, fed him, and met all his requests.

Xiulan fed Lin Heng, and Lin Heng naturally reciprocated by feeding Xiulan, making sure she was full.

The two sides were intertwined and fought two consecutive battles for a long time.

"Oh, wife, I missed you so much."

At one o'clock in the middle of the night, Lin Heng took a deep breath, looked at the person in his arms and said.

"Me too,"

Xiulan hugged Lin Heng's neck and kissed him again. Neither of them disliked the other.

After kissing for a while, the two hugged each other quietly again, looking at each other's face, feeling each other's heartbeat, and smelling each other's sweat produced by intense exercise.

Lin Heng felt his wife's soft and broad bosom, his hands resting on her slender waist.

Xiulan felt Lin Heng's strong and firm chest, stroked his abdominal muscles with her small hands, and leaned her head on his neck.

"Okay, let me make up the sheets."

After lying down for a while, Xiulan stood up and said that it was obviously impossible to continue sleeping on the wet sheets.

Lin Heng nodded, stood up and stood aside waiting. Xiulan put away the clothes and sheets, and took out a sheet that had been prepared long ago and laid it on the bed.

"Wife, I have a new idea..."

Looking at Xiulan making the bed, Lin Heng walked over and hugged her waist.

"Don't...I..."

Before Xiulan could finish her words, Lin Heng picked her up. Afraid of falling, she could only hug Lin Heng's neck and wrap her long legs around his waist.

With a "pu" sound, Xiulan's snow-white neck tilted back and her red lips were tightly bitten.

……

It was already two o'clock when the two of them lay down. Xiulan felt like her bones were about to fall apart. She didn't want to talk to Lin Heng anymore. This guy didn't care about her feelings at all.

"Wife, are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat." Lin Heng patted Xiulan and asked.

"I'm full, I want to rest."

Xiulan snorted softly. She was choking on the food he fed her, so how could she eat anything?

Lin Heng smiled awkwardly, feeling a little embarrassed. He hadn't operated it for a long time and couldn't control it well.

He got up and went to find something to eat. What Xiulan fed him was not enough for him to consume.

When Lin Heng came back after eating, he found Xiulan had fallen asleep. Looking at her oval face, he reached out to tidy up her hair.

Xiulan herself is a very traditional woman, but she is willing to try things for him that she has never thought of. He is deeply moved by her gentleness and thoughtfulness.

Sleeping next to Xiulan, Lin Heng slept particularly soundly that night.

When he woke up early the next morning, he felt a special sense of peace when he saw Xiulan sleeping next to him.

Xiulan woke up and found Lin Heng looking at the ceiling. She came over and asked softly, "What's wrong with you?"

"Suddenly I feel a little lost." Lin Heng smiled.

Xiulan thought about it, then lay down in his arms and kissed him.

Half an hour later, Xiulan looked at him with a red face: "Are you feeling better now?"

If a man is in a bad mood, the best antidote, besides companionship, is to give him your body and mind to help him release stress, which is far more effective than words.

"Much better." Lin Heng touched Xiulan's face. In fact, he was just suddenly feeling sad.

"Get up."

Xiulan leaned in his arms for a while and spoke softly.

She sat up and slowly put on her clothes, hiding her curvy figure under her thick cotton-padded jacket. Outsiders could only see her pretty face.

She never exposed herself outside, and everything about her was only seen by Lin Heng.

After getting up, the two woke up the children to pee, then let them continue to rest while they went out to prepare breakfast.

The winter morning was very cold. After washing up and exercising, the two returned to the house. Lin Heng added coal to the fireplace in the main room, and then added firewood, and it started to burn brightly.

When the fire started, Xiulan first made milk tea with milk powder and tea leaves, and then made some potato cakes.

"There are tangerines and oranges in the cupboard. I picked them all from the trees in the back mountain. I was afraid they would freeze to death if they stayed on the trees." Xiulan looked at him and said.

“Okay.” Lin Heng nodded, took out some tangerines from the cupboard and tasted them. They tasted sour and sweet and were very good, thanks to the good variety he bought, which was not as sour as local tangerines.

"Try one." Lin Heng peeled an orange and fed it to Xiulan.

"I've eaten a lot, and Xiaoxia likes it too." Xiulan said while eating with her cheeks puffed out.

There is no shortage of fruits in his family this year. In addition to tangerines and oranges, there are also quite a few kiwis.

After feeding Xiulan, Lin Heng went to open the door. He took a look at the withered and desolate scene outside covered in white frost and went back into the house because he was cold.

After Xiulan finished making the potato pancakes and boiling the eggs, the two of them went to bring the children out. By then the fireplace had heated up and the main room was quite warm.

When Xiaoxia was called out, Li Baiquan also came over. He washed his face, sat on a bench, and ate oranges with a smile on his face. Life in Lin Heng's family was much better than his, and he liked living here very much.

Breakfast was served on the table and everyone gathered together to eat. After Lin Heng and Xiulan ate a little, they fed eggs to their two sons.

"Are you leaving after breakfast today?" Xiulan asked while feeding Luming eggs.

Lin Heng thought for a moment and said, "Let's leave tomorrow. Let's take a day off today."

He was really a little tired and didn't want to leave so soon.

Li Baiquan said: "Nothing will happen if they stay in the mountains for one more day."

"That's good." Xiulan nodded. Neither she nor Xiaoxia wanted Lin Heng to leave immediately.

After breakfast, Li Baiquan got up and went to Hongfeng Mountain. He couldn't stay at Lin Heng's house.

Lin Heng didn't go out. He stayed at home, playing with Xiaoxia and amusing his two sons.

Xiulan had nothing to do recently, so she tried running a cup of saffron water. After adding five roots, the water turned light yellow, while the saffron itself was still a beautiful red.

There are fewer counterfeits these days, and even in villages deep in the mountains there is no technology to make counterfeits.

After tasting the water, she took out the needle and thread to make shoes for Lin Heng. The soles of the pair of shoes were almost finished, and the thousand-layer cloth shoes could be completed before the New Year.

They spent a pleasant morning chatting, and it was not until nearly twelve o'clock that the sun came out and melted the frost, and it became warm outside.

"What do you want to eat for lunch?" Xiulan looked at him and asked softly.

"I want to eat sweet potato rice. Let's have some vegetarian dishes. We ate a lot of meat in the mountains." Lin Heng said as he peeled an orange into three pieces.

Xiulan ate the orange that Lin Heng fed her and nodded, saying, "No problem, then I'll stir-fry lotus root and cabbage for you."

Lin Heng went to help Xiulan. After dinner, he planned to go to Hongfeng Mountain to take a look. Today, he was itching to go fishing in the grass carp pond with Xiulan.
