Chapter 499 Another Spring

After returning home, they made a simple dinner, then washed and rested.

Lin Heng was a little tired, and he lay down on the bed after coaxing the child.

Xiulan sorted out the clothes washed today, and walked to the bedside after finishing, taking off the clothes one by one, revealing her amazing figure.

Glancing at Lin Heng, she smiled and came to the quilt, leaning against him, showing a look of intimacy and admiration.

The two looked at each other, Xiulan reached out to turn off the light, and after a little intimacy, they fell asleep without any tossing.

The next day, Lin Heng had breakfast at home and set off for the city. He went to the town to take a look first.

He did not go directly to the city to get the goods sold here, but asked Li Guocheng to deliver them.

It was not much more expensive, but it saved him the trouble. It was impossible to do business just thinking about making money.

Only during the Chinese New Year did he occasionally pull some goods himself.

After looking around the town, he asked Li Shiwei to buy fresh shrimp from the people who set up traps in the town. He wanted to select some good ones to be used as seed shrimp for cultivation.

After simply dealing with the things here, he went to the city.

"Brother Lin, you are finally here. The animal husbandry station asked us to send a batch of concentrated feed. They have been asking for many days."

Seeing Lin Heng coming, Lin Hai said hurriedly.

"I already know this. Li Shiwei notified me. You go and drive the car and have someone load it. We will go to the animal husbandry station together later." Lin Heng looked at him and said.

"Okay, Brother Lin, I know." Lin Hai nodded quickly, took the key and drove the car to the warehouse, and then arranged for people to unload the goods.

Lin Heng returned to the office and looked at this year's production data. He was moved. He was about to buy raw materials again. There were not many raw materials left.

Seeing Lin Hai coming in, he asked again: "How is your sales promotion effect?"

"It can be seen that those who took the samples have tried the effect of the feed, but they all want to lower the price. They are too greedy." Lin Hai looked at Lin Heng and smiled bitterly.

"This is normal. I will go to talk about it in a while. If we can sell it this year, it will be a success." Lin Heng smiled.

Even if it is a loss, as long as the loss is not too much, he will sell it.

However, judging from the current situation, it will not lose money. If we talk about it again, we can still make a lot.

"I know, we will go together then." Lin Hai nodded.

Lin Heng chatted with him for a few words, and when the workers loaded the goods, he went out with Lin Hai.

Lin Hai drove, he sat in the co-pilot, and went to the animal husbandry station together.

When they got there, Lin Heng went to talk to the director, and Lin Hai went to unload the goods.

He came here mainly to ask when his piglets were delivered, and other things were incidental.

Soon he followed the others to the breeding area at the back and saw 500 beautiful piglets, all of which were pink and very cute.

"These are all piglets transported from the state-owned large pig farm in Ancheng. There are three more batches coming soon. They are all two months old and weigh an average of 30 kilograms." The director of the animal husbandry station said with a smile.

Lin Heng took a closer look and nodded with satisfaction at the piglets.

"Boss Lin can take them back now. I will notify you when the rest arrive." The director said with a smile.

"I will come to take them in two days. The pig farm is not finished yet." Lin Heng shook his head and said.

He planned to wait until all the pigs arrived before taking over. He was not in a hurry now, and the pig feed had not been taken yet. There was nothing to feed them now.

It would be more reassuring to take them back when the weather is warmer in a few days.

"That's fine." The director nodded.

Lin Heng chatted with him for a few more words, invited him to dinner today, and then continued to take goods with Lin Hai.

The goods were delivered, and the animal husbandry station gave a receipt, indicating that the money would be transferred to the account in a while.

Lin Heng was not in a hurry, and he also knew a little about the operation of these agencies.

The next day, he went to several private breeding farms in the suburbs to discuss the price issue, and finally reached a price that satisfied both parties.

Lin Heng was quite happy about this, and bought three pairs of large grass carp and some shrimps here.

Packed with oxygen in plastic bags, Lin Heng packed them into boxes and put them in the car to take back. After returning, he loaded a car with pig feed and went home.

He originally wanted to pick some Chinese toon on the roadside to take back, but to his surprise, someone got there before him this year.

But he didn't care. After a few days, the mountains would turn green and there would be a lot of Chinese toon.

Soon, Lin Heng came to the door of the pig farm and shouted inside: "Open the door, prepare to unload the goods."

"I'm coming."

After a while, Li Shilei ran to open the door.

Lin Heng drove the car directly to the warehouse above. Both warehouses here are made of red bricks and cement, and the doors are iron anti-theft doors.

It's not that they are afraid of theft, but they are mainly afraid of rats. There are many rats in this mountain.

"Let's unload the goods together." Lin Heng said with a smile, and then came down to unload the goods with the two.

The feed here is piglet feed that can be directly fed to piglets, without additional mixing.

While carrying, Lin Heng told the two how to feed.

"Okay, that's it. I'll go back first. If you need anything, just tell me directly and I'll bring it."

After moving, Lin Heng looked at the two and said.

"Not yet, there are all kinds of food and drinks here." Zhang Feng said with a smile.

Li Shilei asked with a smile: "Brother, do you have a radio? We are bored here and have fun."

He felt it was too boring to stay here like this.

Lin Heng nodded slightly and said, "I'll get one for you later depending on the situation, and I'll get you some books."

This was not an excessive request, and he readily agreed.

After leaving the pig farm, Lin Heng drove to Hongfeng Mountain to park.

He opened the door by himself when he came here, and his parents were not there.

After parking the car, he took out all the shrimp and fish seeds he bought and kept them in the water without opening the bag for the time being.

This bag is full of pure nutrients, so there’s no need to rush to open it.

After finishing the fish and shrimp, he went back home first. Halfway through the walk, he met a villager who told him that Xiulan had taken her children to the upper river to break the bracken, so he left here and went to the nearby ditch with bracken.

Shibadanggou was not found here, so he continued to the direction of Shimen. After a while, he saw children playing by the river on the roadside.

Lin Heng quietly approached and suddenly said loudly: "The three of you are folding bracken."

"Oh, you kid scared me!" Mother Lin patted her chest and said.

"You came back very quickly today." Xiulan looked surprised.

"I finished all my work yesterday, so today I brought back a cart of pig feed." Lin Heng explained.

As he spoke, he walked towards Xiaoxia and the others. If he didn't hug them, they would run up on their own. The pile of rocks was not safe.

Lin Heng hugged the children and went to help fold bracken. The banks of the river were already green.

"Have you had lunch?" Xiulan turned around and asked when she saw Lin Heng coming.

"Eat, I'm not hungry now." Lin Heng replied.

"That's good, let's break off the bracken here and go home." Xiulan nodded.

Lin Heng folded it together. He still liked eating this bracken. While helping, he told Xiulan's parents what he had done in the past two days.

After saying that, the bracken had just been folded, and they took the basket and pulled the child back.

"Son, where are you going for an outing in the next few days?" Mother Lin asked casually.

Lin Heng smiled mysteriously: "I have found a very beautiful place. I will take you there when the time comes. I am going to kill another sheep to eat during the Qingming Festival. Is it better to kill a white goat or a black goat?"

"Black Goat, there happened to be a guy who failed and broke his leg." Father Lin said.

"That's just right." Lin Heng smiled and nodded, "Let's go play together then and have fun while roasting lamb."

When everyone heard what Lin Heng said, they couldn't help but look forward to it.

"Dad, Xiaoxia likes to eat mutton!!" Xiaoxia shouted happily from the side.

She used to be sad about the death of chickens, ducks and geese, but now she is a greedy little cat who only likes to eat meat.

"I want it too!"

This work is compiled and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

"I want it too!"

Lu Ming and Du Heng imitated their sisters and said.

"Both are available." Lin Heng said with a smile.

After a while, they returned to Hongfeng Mountain. Lin Heng went to release the fish and shrimp that had passed through the water, and Xiulan helped Lin's mother cook.

They made fried bracken with ham, fried bacon with shredded pickled radish, and added a plate of shredded potatoes.

There weren't many dishes, but they were all good dishes to go with the meal. I didn't drink any wine at night, so I simply ate rice.

"Mom and Dad, I still have two golden roosters and pheasants that I shot before. You can go over for dinner tomorrow night." Lin Heng said while eating.

"Okay, let's have a drink tomorrow." Father Lin nodded.

After eating, Lin Heng and Xiulan took their children back to the village. There was nothing important in the past two days.

His family now only needs about six acres of land to grow crops. Most of it is now growing rapeseed and wheat, and the rest is also planted with potatoes. There are very few vacant areas, so they are not as busy digging and plowing the ground as the people in the village are.

The main work now is to cultivate shrimp seedlings and fish fry.

Back home, they played a little more today. Lin Heng wanted to write calligraphy, and Xiulan took the children to read.

Lin Heng didn't go out the next day and planned to play with his wife and children at home.

After breakfast, I went to see my bonsai. I saw that their spores had expanded a bit, and I felt relieved.

Time passed quickly at home, and it felt like it was already afternoon after just a few sunbathing moments. Lin Heng helped Xiulan and started preparing dinner early, and the family had a drink in the evening.

The next day it started to rain, which made Lin Heng a little happy: "The spring rain has finally come, and it looks like it's not too light."

"Yes, do you want to wait for the rain to pass before planting the seedlings?" Xiulan leaned on his shoulder and asked.

"Don't worry, wait until the Qingming Festival is over. It's not warm yet." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"Yes." Xiulan nodded.

Today is another day to stay at home. Lin Heng also feels very happy playing with the children at home.

In the afternoon, Father Lin came and brought good news. The female cow had given birth.

The birth process went very smoothly and they had already given birth when they found out.

This is also good news for Lin Heng. The cows in the back mountain have stopped milking, and now there is milk to continue.

He went over to have a look and came back soon.

The spring rain has been falling for two consecutive days, making the trees turn green at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the breath of spring is getting stronger.

The fruit trees in the back mountain were full of flowers, and Lin Heng even thinned the flowers for them when he was free at home.

The Qingming Festival also arrived. On this day, all of them went to visit the graves of their ancestors as in previous years. They went home and made some green dumplings to taste.

"This black goat is also quite fat." Lin Heng weighed the broken-legged goat that he had killed and said with a smile, it weighed a full 82 kilograms.

"It eats a lot, but it always jumps a lot. I don't know how it jumped out that day and broke its leg." Lin's father shook his head and laughed.

"It wants to be eaten." Lin Heng laughed.

Then they skinned the goat and cut open its intestines, and gave some to the eldest brother's family after processing. They had already cooked a lamb chop and carrot soup, and made a plate of cumin lamb, with green rice balls, and spent the Qingming Festival with laughter.

After Qingming, the green mountains turned green at a speed visible to the naked eye.

However, Lin Heng was not in a hurry to take his wife and children outing. The temperature was not high now, and it would be much better in ten days.

In the past two days, Xiulan braised the goat's internal organs, and Lin Heng put all the lamb, pork, vegetables, etc. prepared for barbecue into the freezer, and they could take them out directly when the time came.

On the morning of April 13, Lin Heng opened his eyes. Xiulan had already woken up. She looked at him with a smile and said, "Let's go to the bamboo forest by the river to pick bamboo shoots today."

Lin Heng nodded: "Okay, by the way, pick some first-crop Chinese toon to eat. Some small Chinese toon trees by the water should have Chinese toon."

"I don't know if there are any more. The first-crop Chinese toon is too popular." Xiulan didn't have any hope for this. She saw someone picking it a few days ago.

After breakfast, they let their mother take care of the child for a while and ran to the river.

"Let's go to the chestnut forest first." Lin Heng said to Xiulan on the road.

Xiulan nodded: "It's a good time to see if the grafting is successful."

Soon they came to the chestnut forest where chestnuts were grafted. When they got closer, they both smiled.

At first glance, most of the grafted branches survived and grew tender green new shoots. The two of them did a simple statistics and found that the survival rate reached 90%.

"If nothing goes wrong, this chestnut forest will be established." Xiulan said happily. In the future, the whole family can come here to pick chestnuts in autumn.

"It should be about the same. Let's wipe off all the buds of the hairy chestnuts."

Lin Heng nodded and started to act with Xiulan again.

Although some hairy chestnut trees have grafted chestnut branches that survived, they also have some adventitious buds. Wiping off all these buds will allow the chestnut branches to enjoy nutrients and survive better.

"Okay."

It took more than half an hour for the two to finish the work, and then they carried their backpacks and walked back one after another to the bamboo garden by the river.

"It seems that bamboo shoots can definitely be obtained." Xiulan looked at the bamboo garden and said happily.

Lin Heng also nodded: "Maybe both of us can't carry them."

There are indeed many bamboo shoots in the bamboo garden, each one is very big. The two broke and peeled them on the spot and took them home, and got about 150 kilograms of spring bamboo shoots.

But there weren't many Chinese toon trees. When they were going back, Xiulan spread her hands and said, "The ones by the river are too popular. Let's go to the mountain in a few days."

The Chinese toon trees on the mountain are later than those by the river. The slowest ones are the big Chinese toon trees, but they will not sprout until May.

"It's okay. There's plenty of time. If you want to go, I'll go with you." Lin Heng smiled.

Xiulan heard this and turned back to smile at him.

Go home and blanch the bamboo shoots and soak them. Some of them will be dried and some will be made into pickled bamboo shoots.

Soon it was April 18th. In addition to looking for spring wild vegetables with Xiulan's parents, Lin Heng was busy with shrimp farming and fish fry cultivation at home.

At noon that day, Lin Heng was at home checking the strawberries and applying fertilizer when Li Shiwei came to the door on his bike and brought a message.
