Chapter 445 Conversation on the Road

The next few days will be beautiful and sunny. The weather is still very hot in August, but there is not much work to do, so I will rest at home.

Xiulan fried the mushrooms she picked up and ate them twice, and kept the rest. In the summer, there was too much to eat in the vegetable garden, so the dried vegetables could be eaten in the winter when there was no vegetables.

After cleaning the beef belly, they froze it in the freezer. They fried the beef twice, and then invited their parents to have a barbecue together.

No need for mutton, just beef, pork and some vegetables are enough.

There is also definite news about the orchards planted by Lin Heng's third father, younger uncle, eldest uncle and third uncle.

After Lin Heng's suggestion, the four families decided to grow kiwi fruit. This fruit is durable in storage and transportation, and tastes good.

And they are rarer and sell for a higher price.

Although the grapes are good, they are not so lucky when transported down from the mountains.

The specific amount is that his uncle's family plans to plant six acres of land, his third uncle's family will plant five acres of land, his younger uncle's family will plant five acres of land, and his third father's family will plant an additional three acres of land.

After discussing it, Lin Heng promised to buy them seedlings in the fall.

Although they are all kiwis, the varieties can be different, and if you only grow a small amount, there will be no rush.

With Lin Heng making the decision, everyone has no objections to this.

On August 27, Lin Heng first took Caiyun into the city to get familiar with the environment.

When they were alone as brother and sister on the road, Lin Heng told Caiyun a lot of things, from school to life, from dreams to reality.

During high school, she had to live on campus and could only go home on weekends.

This is already quite independent. What he wants her to know is the sinister and dark side of this world, otherwise a girl will be very dangerous.

In this era, cities are not that civilized yet, and there are all kinds of bad situations in schools. Whether it is classmates or teachers, don't have too many filters.

"You understand, in this world, there are only good people and bad people, but there are no good or bad careers. No matter what happens, you just need to firmly believe that I will stand behind you. There is no need to feel wronged. You have to believe in me, your brother. ”

Lin Heng said slowly while driving.

Caiyun turned around and saw that his second brother was wearing a simple white shirt today. His hair was blown into a slicked back by the wind. His profile was as firm as an axe. He exuded a strategizing temperament, giving the impression that nothing could do anything. Stumping him.

"I understand, second brother, and I believe you too." Caiyun smiled and nodded. Second brother is the person she trusts the most, more than her parents.

"Well, come on, go out. This world is huge. What you understand in books is only one-sided. You have to experience the real world down to earth." Lin Heng glanced at the sky and said.

Caiyun looked at the sky and said nothing. She read a lot of books. She really understood the size of the world and wanted to see it.

She also understood that without her second brother, she would definitely be a married woman now, and she might never be able to leave that ravine for the rest of her life.

"Second brother, what are your future plans?" Caiyun asked as the warm summer wind blew.

"It's very simple. Make the business bigger and stronger, so that our family doesn't have to worry about food and drink, and can do what they want to do. Then we can take Xiulan and her parents to travel around the world."

Lin Heng blurted out without even thinking.

"As for Caiyun, you don't have to think about anything for me. You can learn whatever you love. You don't have to make choices because of me." Lin Heng added.

Caiyun said with a smile: "Then I can choose the direction that can help second brother among the content I like. If a family wants to be strong, it cannot be just you, second brother, working hard alone."

Lin Heng glanced at her, laughed and said, "You're right, then you can make your own choice."

As they talked, they quickly arrived in the city. Lin Heng took her to No. 1 Middle School to familiarize herself with the environment.

Although Caiyun came to the city once, it was far from familiar.

After Lin Heng got her acquainted with her and had breakfast, he came to his feed factory.

"After you go to school, my feed mill will almost be opened. By then you will definitely find some acquaintances here."

When they arrived at the feed factory, Lin Heng looked at Caiyun and said with a smile.

"Second brother, you bought this feed factory, right?" Caiyun walked in and was shocked to see such a large place.

"Yes, I bought it a long time ago, but I didn't tell my parents." Lin Heng said with a smile.

Caiyun's eyes suddenly widened: "Oh my god, second brother, you are too generous. You did such a big thing quietly."

"So you have to have confidence in me. You don't have to be burdened. Just study hard." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"Second brother, you are so awesome."

Caiyun was still shocked when she saw everything inside.

Lin Heng took her to look around, and then went out to walk around the city, explaining things she didn't understand and letting her get familiar with life here.

After shopping around, they went back in the afternoon, and their schooling matters had already been taken care of.

Their grades are very good, so they can go to No. 1 Middle School without spending any extra money.

Good schools have special admissions for good students every day. It doesn't matter even if they don't enroll nearby.

After returning, Lin Heng went to see Liu Ciwen again and informed him to prepare. He would take them down early on the 31st.

Supporting Liu Ciwen is not only an investment in future connections, but also a way for Caiyun to not be alone in school. If someone bullies Caiyun, Liu Ciwen will definitely help.

As for whether they have feelings for each other, he doesn't care. Both of them are people with perseverance and dreams. At this stage, they will definitely not do anything that will affect their future.

In the past two days after returning, the alfalfa and ryegrass at home have grown again, and Lin Heng helped his father make silage.

It is already autumn, and it is necessary to prepare food for cattle and sheep for the winter. The method is still the same as usual, half hay and half silage.

Not only forage grass, but also corn stalks can be used. Corn has matured recently.

Corn stalks are also very good for silage after being chopped with a lawn mower.

Early in the morning of August 31, Lin Heng took Caiyun and Liu Ciwen to the city to register.

After successfully registering, he bought them school supplies and daily necessities, and exchanged them for some food coupons, which can be used to buy meals in the school cafeteria.

After that, Lin Heng gave Caiyun some change, said something to them, and went back.

In this era, even in such a good high school, the accommodation conditions are still average, there is no heating and air conditioning, and the dormitory is a big bunk bed.

It was already afternoon when Lin Heng returned home. The laughter of Xiaoxia, Luming and Du Heng playing in the yard could be heard outside. The two sons were one and a half years old and were becoming more and more difficult to take care of. They would run away if they were not careful.

"Dad!"

"Dad!"

"Dad!"

As soon as Lin Heng opened the door and came in, the three little guys shouted in unison and ran towards him.

"Come, Daddy will hold you!" Lin Heng smiled and hugged and kissed each of the three children, then went into the house to drink water.

"I want more hugs!" Du Heng followed him into the house, and his sister and brother also ran over.     Lin Heng brought them the wax gourds he picked on the way. The altitude was low at the edge of the city, so the fruit was ripe.

After eating, they didn't need to hug each other. They were very happy.

"Did Caiyun's registration go smoothly?" Xiulan asked.

"Of course, it went smoothly." Lin Heng said with a smile.

Xiulan nodded: "That's good. You can tell your parents later. They are probably worried too."

"I know." Lin Heng nodded.

Xiulan looked at Xiaoxia and said to Lin Heng: "Do you want to let your daughter go to school? She is four years old."

Xiaoxia turned her head immediately after hearing the words and looked at her parents curiously.

Lin Heng looked at Xiaoxia and shook his head and said: "Forget it, let's talk about it next year."

Although Xiaoxia did not go to school, under his influence over time, the number of words she knows now may be more than that of a second-grade student.

"I don't want to go to school. Brother Lin Wei said that going to school is not fun." Xiaoxia also said.

"Going to school is also fun. You can try it next year." Lin Heng touched her head and said.

"I don't want to go." Xiaoxia acted like a spoiled child in his arms.

"You don't have to go now. Maybe you will want to go next year." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"I don't want to go next year either." Xiaoxia shook her bun and ran out.

Lin Heng drank a sip of tea, looked at Xiulan and said, "Let's take the children to Hongfeng Mountain."

"Okay, let's go out for a walk." Xiulan nodded.

Now that the child can walk, he can walk over there by pulling him, which is much easier than before.

They brought the children to Hongfeng Mountain together. When they walked to the house, Lin's mother got a basket of lotus pods and was peeling lotus seeds.

"Grandma, what are you peeling for delicious food!" Xiaoxia trotted over to act cute.

Luming and Duheng also ran over like their sister, and they just grabbed a lotus pod and wanted to chew it, regardless of whether it was edible or not.

"You can't eat this, eat this." Lin's mother hurriedly stopped them and took out a handful of peeled lotus pods for them.

"Thank you, grandma." Xiaoxia grabbed a handful and put it in her mouth, like eating candy beans.

"The lotus pods are old." Lin Heng came over and took some to eat, and gave some to Xiulan.

"From your third father's lotus field, they dug some to eat and gave us some. You can take them back to eat later." Lin's mother said with a smile.

"Have you arranged everything for your sister's schooling?" Lin's mother added.

"Of course, no problem." Lin Heng nodded and asked, "Where's my dad, what's he doing?"

"He went to dig herbs with your third father, and he will probably be back soon." Lin's mother explained.

"Okay." Lin Heng nodded, and after watching here for a while, he was ready to take the children to pick eggs.

Lin's mother stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, let me tell you something, the astragalus planted last year will be harvested this year. Not only do we have ten acres of land, but your uncle's family, your uncle's family, and your uncle's family also have it."

The growth period of astragalus is only two years, and it will not be sold more expensive if it is planted for a longer time.

"I know this, they dig it and I collect it, and I have to find someone to collect ginseng seeds these days." Lin Heng nodded and said.

He plans to take back the astragalus and find someone to make it into a fine astragalus Chinese medicine, and then hoard it and sell it all at once in two years.

Last year's batch happened to be produced together with this year's batch. As for the price, he can just buy it back at the current purchase price, and they won't suffer any loss.

"We have to hire someone, ginseng seeds are not easy to pick." Lin's mother said.

Lin Heng nodded and said, "We definitely have to hire someone. I don't have time recently, so you have to do it yourself. I have to go to Ancheng several times."

After Caiyun's schooling was settled, he also had to deal with the feed factory.

Although there are a lot of things to do at home now, the feed factory can't be delayed, so he can only hand over the things here to his parents and let them hire someone to do it.

"Go ahead, we only need one person to do it." Lin's mother nodded.

After chatting for a while, Lin Heng took the children to pick up eggs.

The place on Hongfeng Mountain is big, and the children have more space to play.

In the chicken coop, an average of five eggs can be picked up every day. The family can't eat them all, so Lin's mother also takes some out to sell.

In the chicken coop, a few thatches were trampled to death, but there are still some tenacious ones alive.

Because the place is large, the grass dies here and grows again there. Chicken manure is a good nutrition, forming an endless cycle between each other.

The two sons couldn't pick up eggs yet, so Xiulan took them to play outside, and Lin Heng took Xiaoxia in to pick them up. After a while, they picked up seven eggs and came back. The chickens laid more eggs today than expected.

After picking up eggs, they played here for a while, and Lin Heng went to feed the cattle, sheep and musk deer.

Just after feeding the cattle and sheep, Lin Heng saw his father coming back with a smile, and his backpack was full of medicinal materials.

"Dad, you have a good harvest this time." Lin Heng shouted with a smile.

"Yes, it's good. This time I not only dug five or six kilograms of Polygonatum, but also dug more than ten kilograms of Angelica. Your third father and I went to the mountain behind Shimen Village to dig."

Father Lin put down the things and said with a smile. Although the two medicines grow in different environments, the mountains are very high, and different locations can become different medicinal materials.

"So many good things." Lin Heng walked over to see that both Angelica and Polygonatum are very valuable Chinese medicines.

This year, he made some nine-true and nine-dried Polygonatum, and he felt strong and healthy after eating it frequently.

"It's also good luck. In recent years, Angelica and Polygonatum have not dared to dig. Some people don't dig on time, and go to dig in summer. It's fine if the seeds are not mature, but digging big and small together will dig out the seeds." Father Lin took out the things to show.

In addition to Angelica and Polygonatum, he also dug other medicinal materials such as ginseng and Codonopsis.

"This Angelica is a good thing. I'll take some to my sister-in-law." Mother Lin nodded and said that this thing is also useful for postpartum recovery.

"I'm not going to sell it. Dry it and share it between you and Xiulan. It's good for your health if you put some in stewed chicken." Father Lin nodded.

"I'll go a few times when I finish my work." Lin Heng sighed. He also liked to go into the mountains to dig herbs.

But for the better life of his children and family in the future, he still had to go to the city to do business.

"Let's go together in a few days." Father Lin smiled and said, "You can have dinner here tonight. Let's have a couple of drinks. You're not going to Ancheng tomorrow?"

"Not tomorrow, but the day after tomorrow." Lin Heng nodded.

"That's fine. Let's have a good drink. I'll go catch some shrimps for your mother to cook for the children." Father Lin smiled and stood up and said. (End of this chapter)
