Return to the small mountain village in 1983

After they were seated, Lin Heng released the clutch and stepped on the gas. The huge steel beast started and drove quickly to the top of the mountain. Soon it arrived in front of the cabin on the top of the mountain.

"This truck is great, very great!"

When they reached the top of the mountain, Chen Changxia sighed repeatedly, thinking that his son-in-law was really capable and was getting better every year.

Wang Zhi looked at Lin Heng and asked, "I heard that being a driver is very profitable. If I own a car, it must be even more profitable."

Lin Heng nodded and said, "If we compare, it is definitely more profitable."

Chen Changxia's two grandchildren next to them also looked curiously. They didn't even have a toy truck, and seeing that their uncle actually had a real car brought a huge shock to their little hearts.

After Lin Heng finished talking to them, he went to pick up his father Xiulan and Xiaoxia who were sitting in the back of the truck one by one.

"Mom, I'll take you to our ginseng garden and dig some ginseng for you to take back and make wine."

After Xiulan came down, she took her mother Wang Zhi’s hand and said with a smile.

"We are all healthy and don't need ginseng." Wang Zhi said with a smile.

"You can also improve your health. Don't worry, there are plenty of ginseng." After Xiulan finished speaking, she turned her head and looked at Lin Heng, "Husband, am I right?"

"Yes, there are more than 20 acres of ginseng, you can dig as much as you want." Lin Heng said with a smile.

Then they went to the cabin on the mountain together, opened the door, and Lin Heng took a look at the condition of the cabin.

Although it was not painted this winter, there were no problems and it is still in good condition and free of insects.

The tung oil and paint applied previously have penetrated into the wood and have a good anti-corrosion effect.

"This wooden house is still there." Chen Changxia was a little surprised.

"We also built a small reservoir next to it." Father Lin said with a smile.

"Dad, I want to play on the swing." Xiaoxia said crisply, pointing to the swing in the distance.

"The swing rope is broken and we haven't had time to replace it yet. Let's wait until next time." Lin Heng looked at her and shook his head.

"Then you carry my dad on your back!" Xiaoxia was still very obedient and compromised by letting Lin Heng carry her on his back.

"No problem." Lin Heng carried her on his back, and then went for a walk with his parents-in-law together with Xiulan and his father.

I first looked at the reservoir, and then went to the ginseng garden to dig some ginseng.

Ever since Lin Heng built the rose wall on this mountain, few people have sneaked in, because it is quite difficult to climb over the rose wall that is about 1.5 or 1.6 meters high.

After they finished looking around here, they got in the car and went down to the cattle and sheep pen, looked around at the cattle, sheep and musk deer, and then returned to the house downstairs to warm themselves by the fire.

"Your business is getting better and better." Chen Changxia said with emotion while roasting a fire.

Compared to the last time he came here, the changes here are so great that he finds it a little unbelievable.

Lin Heng smiled and said, "We are also taking it step by step. The environment over there is good, so it will be easier for us to develop."

"Then do you think it's feasible for us to learn from you how to grow some medicinal herbs?" Chen Changxia asked with a smile. He came here this time to ask for advice on this aspect.

Lin Heng nodded and said, "Of course, I can give you some astragalus seeds. You can go back and plant a few acres. If you can't sell them, I can buy them."

Xiulan looked at her father and said, "Dad, you can also raise fish. Fishing depends on luck after all. It would be a good idea for you to enclose an area in the village lake with net cages and raise fish. We made a lot of money from raising fish before."

Wang Zhi nodded: "I think this is possible. We have caught all the fish in Liulin Lake here, so we can raise them ourselves."

Chen Changxia spread his hands and said, "Your three brothers and I have also thought about raising fish, but we don't have the capital, and the expenses of raising fish are not small."

This year, his three daughters-in-law have talked to him many times, hoping that he would come to Lin Heng's house again to borrow some money, or let Lin Heng lead their family to get rich together.

Although his three sons didn't say it, he knew that they also had this idea.

Chen Changxia firmly refused at first. After all, he had not yet repaid the more than 500 yuan he had borrowed before, so how could he ask for more?

But the increasing pressure of life made him waver again.

"Then let's plant Astragalus first. The seeds are not expensive. We can also get some fish fry and raise them freely." Xiulan said after thinking for a while.

She didn't say she wanted to help raise fish. She had said this when her parents borrowed money to build a house, asking them to persuade her three brothers to be patient for the time being and use the money to grow some medicinal herbs or raise fish.

In the end, they chose to use the money to build a house and split up the family business. Now the three sisters-in-law couldn't hold back anymore and wanted to borrow money to raise fish for their business, so she naturally wouldn't agree.

There is no such thing as helping again and again.

Although her parents didn't say anything, she knew them very well, as well as her three brothers and sister-in-law, so she could guess the answer with just a little guess.

Lin Heng took a sip of tea and replied, "How about this, Mom and Dad? I'll bring you some astragalus seeds and you can plant them first. Then I'll send you a batch of fish fry in May or June. You can raise rice fish first, which is cheaper."

After a pause, he continued, "Or you can build a few larger fish ponds and raise some grass carp. Grass carp eat grass and are relatively cheap. You can raise them for two or three years and sell them."

He didn't want to lend money for the time being, but he could provide them with help. Some fish fry and astragalus seeds didn't cost much. He could cultivate the fish fry himself, and he had harvested a lot of seeds in the past two years.

"Rice fish is good. We were able to harvest dozens of kilograms per acre of land last year." Father Lin said nearby.

He then went on to talk about the specific situation of their astragalus harvest in the past two years.

"That's fine. Let's do as you said, Lin Heng. We'll first plant some astragalus and then raise some rice fish." Chen Changxia said with a smile.

Wang Zhi said from the side: "You guys can only pay for the seeds and fry first."

"That's not necessary. It's not much when added up." Lin Heng said with a smile.

He was still willing to help his parents-in-law and their family. They were nice people and he was grateful to them for marrying their daughter to him.

Moreover, their family is all hardworking and they are not the kind of people who just eat and wait for death. It’s just that the three sisters-in-law are not very nice people.

Now he hasn't really risen yet, and he is short of money, so he can't help too much. When he really takes off in a few years, he will easily become the richest man in their village with his parents-in-law.

"That won't do. We still have to settle the accounts." Chen Changxia shook his head. He was a man who cared a lot about his face.

Lin Heng didn't argue with him too much and just followed his mood.

"Okay, okay, let's stop talking about this. Come with me to prepare the vegetables. We're going to have hot pot for lunch." Lin's mother said with a smile.

"It's already eleven o'clock. It's time to have lunch. Let's get ready." Father Lin said after looking at the watch.

Chen's mother went with Lin's mother to help prepare the dishes, while Lin Heng went fishing with his father.

This time they caught a grass carp and prepared to have the fish fillets for hotpot later.

After finishing, they returned to their house in the village with the vegetables and fish.

Lin Heng took out the frozen antelope beef, deer meat and pork and sliced ​​them with a spatula. Xiulan dissected the grass carp and stewed a milky white fish soup with the fish bones and head and added it to the copper pot.

While putting the beef hot pot base, add mushrooms and chicken. After the dipping sauce is ready, everyone sits down. Lin Heng flips the meat in the pot with chopsticks, passes it to everyone and says, "It's ready to eat, everyone, use your chopsticks."

"it is good."

"We'll do it ourselves!"

Soon everyone started eating the meat with big mouthfuls. The last time Chen Changxia and Wang Zhi had hotpot was also at Lin Heng's house. After such a long time, they both missed it very much.

Although hotpot looks simple, it is still very expensive to eat. They don’t have the energy to make it at home, so they just fry the meat and eat it.

It was the first time for Chen Bentao and Chen Benxin to eat hotpot. They felt their tongues were drooling with the delicious taste. They didn't know that meat could be eaten this way.

They are now bolder and keep picking up meat and eating it hard, trying to make up for the meat they have not eaten in all these years.

Lin Heng was always paying attention to picking up food for his parents-in-law and his own bowl was also filled with food from Xiulan.

He dipped the antelope beef into the sesame sauce and put it into his mouth. The rich aroma was unforgettable.

The lunch took another hour. We ate and chatted, and we only ended when everyone couldn't eat anymore.

After dinner, everyone drank some tea and played poker in the house.

For dinner, we simply fried a few hot dishes, made some braised dishes, and ended up having a few glasses of wine.

After settling his parents-in-law, Lin Heng came back, washed up and went to bed early. The quilt was still too tempting in winter.

The children had a lot of exercise today and fell asleep after I told them stories for a while.

"Oh, it's another beautiful day."

Lin Heng stretched and got into bed. Xiulan hugged his neck and put her face close to him and said softly, "Thank you, honey."

Lin Heng looked at Xiulan in confusion: "Why are you thanking me? It's my duty to help your parents appropriately. I'm very grateful to them for raising such a good daughter-in-law like you."

"Anyway, I just want to thank you." Xiulan leaned half of her body on him, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him with a slightly blushing face.

Lin Heng responded immediately, turned off the lights, and started a long battle.

In the end, Xiulan fell asleep happily in Lin Heng's arms.

Lin Heng looked at Xiulan's smiling face, put her aside, added some firewood to the fireplace, then got into bed and fell asleep next to Xiulan.

The next morning, it started snowing again. Lin Heng got up, took a look, added some fire to the fireplace, then hugged Xiulan and went back to sleep for a while.

Being with her, doing nothing makes me feel peaceful.

"Get up."

Xiulan slept for a while, stretched out her hair which was tied up last night, put on her clothes, went to the mirror to tidy herself up, and put on some light makeup.

Today's day was relatively uneventful. Lin Heng stayed at home with his parents-in-law, watching the light snow falling outside.

However, things in the village are not dull. Zhao Hu and Jin Yan are getting married tomorrow. Today they are setting up a shed and borrowing benches, electric kettles, wine jugs and a series of other items.

"Aren't you going to give a gift tomorrow?"

In the afternoon, when Lin Heng and Xiulan were alone, Xiulan asked with a smile, blinking her big eyes.

"Do you want to go? If so, I'll take you with me. I don't have any feelings for Jin Yan." Lin Heng smiled and put a wintersweet on his head.

It was enough for him to have a good wife like Xiulan. He actively rejected all other women and only wanted to grow old with her.

"I'm just kidding. I'm not going. But if you want to go, I won't object." Xiulan said with a smile.

"I've already told my dad, and he'll give me a gift when the time comes." Lin Heng said.

Xiulan nodded and said, "We are also busy. Tian Yan and Lin Hai are also going to have their wedding soon."

They must go to Tian Yanlin Hai's place, and they have to go there in advance to help.

The next morning, the whole village was filled with the sound of gongs and drums, and firecrackers were set off. Zhao Hu's family even sent a sedan chair to take Jin Yan back home.

Most people in the village went to enjoy the fun, and there was even opera performance at the wedding, which was rare.

Lin Heng and Xiulan were at home. Tian Yan came over once in the morning. At noon, Lin Hai came to his house to borrow a grinder to make tofu. Lin Heng brought the machine over to help grind 80 kilograms of soybeans. In the evening, he also brought back a piece of vegetable tofu.

The next day was Tian Yan's family's wedding. Village Party Secretary Tian Dongfu was marrying his daughter Tian Yan. Their family held the wedding the day before, and the groom picked up the bride the day after. The wedding day was held at the groom's home.

Tian Yan's family and Lin Heng also sent gifts, and the whole family attended the wedding.

In the afternoon, Xiulan helped at Tian Yan's house, and Lin Heng went to Lin Hai's house to help set up the shed. Many close relatives came to help.

Lin Hai's family did not choose a sedan chair, but borrowed Lin Heng's red-maned horse Hongzao, and used the horse to pick up the bride when the time came.

"Brother Lin, damn, I'm so excited all of a sudden!"

After setting up the shed, Lin Hai pulled Lin Heng and said that marrying Tian Yan was undoubtedly marrying up, especially since Tian Yan's brother was still a civil servant in Nanshan County, which made him a little nervous.

"Why be nervous? Everything is already determined. It will definitely go smoothly." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"You don't have to worry about money. You are still young. If you work hard, you will be able to make money and give Tian Yan a good life." Lin Heng comforted her again.

Lin Hai didn't ask for money when he got married. The money his family earned from selling astragalus plus his own earnings were enough for him. Most importantly, Tian Yan didn't ask for too much.

"You're right, Brother Lin." Lin Hai nodded, then ran over to chat and laugh with Li Shiwei and the others to relieve the pressure.

Lin Heng said hello to them and went home. After returning home, he found Xiulan had also returned. He looked at her and smiled, "Wife, when I have money in the future, I will give you a beautiful wedding."

When Xiulan married him, the wedding was extremely simple. At that time, the land had only been subcontracted to households only a few years ago, and every family was extremely poor.

"I have never blamed you, why do we need to re-hold the wedding?" Xiulan said with a smile, "Although the wedding was very simple, I am very happy."

"I just want to make you happier." Lin Heng said with a smile.

Xiulan looked up, thought for a moment and said, "We'll talk about it when we're really rich. Now we can live a peaceful life. As long as you treat me well, nothing else matters."

"There will definitely be money." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"Come and help me. I have finished making this pair of embroidered shoes and will give them to Tian Yan as a wedding gift." Xiulan waved at him.

Lin Heng came over with a smile to help. After they were done, they had a simple meal in the evening. The next morning, the whole family got up before dawn.

Caiyun went to be a bridesmaid, and Xiulan also went to the village party secretary's house to help.

Lin Hengze went to Lin Hai's house, packed up and waited for the auspicious time to arrive. Immediately, gongs and drums were beating and firecrackers were blasting. There were people in front walking and singing, and they followed behind in an orderly manner. (End of this chapter)
