Chapter 521 The Follow-Up of Yuheshi
The children came out early in the morning. There was still some water in the yard. The children stepped on the water and ran happily in the solar system.
"If we don't get some sun, we will get moldy." Lin Heng sighed while basking in the sun.
Xiulan nodded and said, "It's much colder after this rain. It's just right to get some sun now."
Lin Heng basked in the sun quietly for a few minutes, then stood up and said, "Let's cook first. I'll help wash Xiaoxia's hair when she goes to school."
Xiulan nodded in agreement and turned into the house to stir-fry shredded potatoes. She made soft biscuits yesterday and was going to make rolls in the morning.
Lin Heng took the grains and the bucket to the back mountain. Xiaoxia ran over with him and rushed to release the chicken from the cage.
"Cuckoo!"
After releasing it, she took the mixture of millet and corn cobs and poured it on the ground. A group of chickens immediately ran over and ate it with a cuckoo.
Xiaoxia smiled brightly when she saw the chickens eating. Lin Heng also liked to watch the chickens running around and looking for food everywhere. There was a different kind of happiness.
Lin Heng took a look and went to milk the cow. Xiaoxia picked two autumn cucumbers and came to him and said, "Dad, I want to eat this."
"Wait a while and wash them before eating." Lin Heng smiled.
"Okay." Xiaoxia nodded, looked at the big cow, and asked curiously why the cow produces milk.
Lin Heng explained to her while working, and soon he had milked enough. This cow is a new cow. It has been separated from the calf. It has been pregnant for a long time and is expected to give birth in June or July next year.
Most of the roads in the back mountain are paved with bluestone slabs, so the feet will not get dirty. They went back to the house directly. Lin Heng heated the milk, and Xiaoxia asked her mother to wash and grate the cucumbers and add them to the rolls she ate.
After breakfast, Xiaoxia took Lin Heng's hand and went to school happily. Lin Heng watched her walk into the classroom before returning home with peace of mind.
After so many days of continuous rain, the ground was like a swamp, sinking as soon as you stepped on it. When Lin Heng returned home again, the yellow mud under his feet was already four or five centimeters thick.
He took off his shoes and put them next to the screen after cleaning them for a while, and then put on a pair of slippers and went into the house.
"Don't go out today, wait until tomorrow, there is water everywhere, it's too bad." Lin Heng shook his head and said.
"You have to dry it for two days before you can go out." Xiulan nodded. This is unavoidable in the countryside when it rains.
They first took out the quilts in the house and dried them, and then Xiulan boiled shampoo, using several plants such as soap beans, cypress, golden mulberry bark, and Polygonum multiflorum.
After boiling, it can be washed when it cools down. Xiulan will soak her hair with this for a while, and then Lin Heng will wash her with clean water, and then apply a little conditioner, and then you can sit in the sun and slowly dry it.
She was wearing a white shirt today, blue trousers on the lower body, and her hair was waist-length, black and straight, like a gentle sister next door.
After finally seeing the sun, Lin Heng also wanted to bask in the sun quietly, so he put some charcoal in the pottery stove and put it on the stone table to make tea.
Then he took out some fruits and snacks, and the two of them leaned on the chairs across the stone table, basking in the sun while drinking tea.
Xiongba and Dazhuang also lay on the ground lazily, and Jinbao, who had not been seen for a long time, also appeared under the eaves.
The two children first played with small cars in the yard, and when they were tired, they ran to the two to ask for food, and then went to tease Xiongba and Dazhuang.
Xiulan's hair dried quickly, and the black hair was long and straight, flying in the wind in the sun. She tied it behind her head with a silk scarf, and then sat next to Lin Heng with a bench.
"Husband, come, I'll clean your ears for you." She said softly.
"Just waiting for you." Lin Heng grinned, and lay down, closing his eyes comfortably.
A happy morning passed quickly. At noon, Xiulan made noodles and some braised meat.
After sending Xiaoxia back to school in the afternoon, Lin Heng went to Hongfeng Mountain to take a look and asked his father. Basically, there were no problems here.
Although the rain lasted for a long time, it was not particularly heavy, so it did not cause any disaster. On the contrary, the shrimps in the pond are now fully mature and can be considered for sale.
"I put down the cage this morning. I guess there are a lot now. You can take it back for the children to eat." Lin's father looked at Lin Heng and said.
"That's fine. You should eat it yourself. Don't be reluctant." Lin Heng looked at the two of them and said.
"We are not reluctant. We have eaten all the braised dishes you brought us these days." Lin's mother said that Lin Heng brought too much, and they were afraid that the meat they had eaten for two days would go bad.
"I'll go get some more in the fall." Lin Heng smiled. The wild boar meat is not very good, but the taste of the internal organs after being braised is really amazing.
Seeing that Lin Heng was about to leave after speaking, Lin's father said: "Son, you are going to the pig farm, I will go with you and take a walk."
"Okay, let's go." Lin Heng nodded and agreed.
Together with his father, they went to the pig farm below. When they came here, they could see a large stream of water flowing out of the ditch.
The two came to the gate from the side road, and suddenly a dog barked. After a while, Zhang Feng ran over to open the door.
"Brother Lin, Uncle Lin, we are feeding the pigs now, and Li Shilei is still busy." Zhang Feng said.
Lin Heng nodded, and asked as he walked in: "Nothing happened to the pig farm during the rainy days?"
Zhang Feng shook his head: "No, the drainage ditch is well repaired, and the water has drained away from the ditch. Apart from being a bit muddy, there is nothing wrong with the entire pig farm."
Lin Heng nodded and walked towards the pig farm. Because of the rain, the pigs were all in the pig pen and were eating feed.
"These pigs are so big, maybe they weigh more than three hundred kilograms, right?" Father Lin said in shock as he looked at the pigs.
I only started raising them in April and they are already so big now, which is really too fast.
"After all, everything we eat is feed. By the end of the year, it will reach almost 500 kilograms." Lin Heng said with a smile.
These porks are incomparable with the native pigs in the countryside, but there is no problem with the meat quality, and there is no problem in selling them in the city.
"Lin Heng, uncle!"
Li Shilei, who was feeding the pigs, saw Lin Heng and the two of them smiled and said hello.
He has been very happy staying here for more than half a year. Not only was he not disturbed, but he also learned a lot about raising pigs. The work was easier than growing crops and he made more money.
The only inconvenience is that I can't go home, so I haven't touched my wife for more than half a year.
He was very grateful when he saw Lin Heng. Without Lin Heng, he would never have been able to find such a good job.
Lin Heng chatted with him for a while, looked around and left with his father. Before leaving, he told the two of them to do a comprehensive disinfection when the weather cleared, and don't be stingy with disinfectant water.
"It seems that your pig has really grown up, son. Once you sell this pig, you will be a millionaire." Father Lin patted Lin Heng on the shoulder after leaving the pig farm.
Lin Heng grinned: "That should be not far away."
In addition to this, he also had good news about the impending demolition of the feed factory that he had not told his father.
"It's really incredible." Father Lin sighed and walked outside.
Lin Heng said a few words to his father, and they chose to take a path in the mountains when they went back.
This path happens to pass by the chestnut forest they just grafted this year.
When he arrived in the forest, Lin Heng looked around. The branches grafted in spring had generally grown five or six times thicker. This chestnut forest seemed to be ready.
"We'll clean it up when we come next year, and we should be able to bear fruit the year after that." Lin's father said.
"It should be no problem." Lin Heng nodded. From such a large chestnut forest, it should be easy to harvest several kilograms of chestnuts a year.
After reading it, they quickly returned to the village along the mountain road.
Lin Heng went to Hongfeng Mountain to pick up fresh shrimps and took them home. He didn't come out again in the afternoon except to pick up Xiaoxia from school.
The next day he did some chores in front of his house, picked some fruits and vegetables, and tidied the vegetable patch.
That afternoon, Lin Heng had just picked up five eggs and returned home. His eldest brother Lin Yue opened the door and walked in quickly: "Brother, this is a great thing."
"What's going on?" Lin Heng and Xiulan came out together, looking confused.
Lin Yue handed the newspaper in his hand to Lin Heng and said with a smile: "Look at the newspaper. The previous matter of the human traffickers has been solved, and the two of us are still in the newspaper."
Lin Heng took it and looked at it, and found that it was indeed about the two traffickers before.
After interrogation at the police station, not only did the old man and woman confess honestly, but they also uncovered a small human trafficking organization, allowing Liu Guifang to make a great contribution.
Of course, there is no problem with things like motorcycles. According to the file, the motorcycle has been dropped into the water and was scrapped. No one will ask about this again.
There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!
His eldest brother only needs to get a new license plate and he can have his own motorcycle.
"Haha, congratulations, brother." Lin Heng said with a smile after reading.
"Thanks to you, I can't think so fast." Lin Yue said with a smile.
"By the way, the police station said they had a letter and flag to commend us for our bravery." Lin Yue added.
"It's simple. We can just take it back when we find the time one day." Lin Heng nodded and said.
"Let's go to my house for dinner that night and let's celebrate. I happened to kill three bamboo chickens yesterday." Lin Yue added.
"No problem, I'll go there tonight." Lin Heng said with a smile.
After sending his eldest brother back, Lin Heng read the newspaper again, and then said to Xiulan, "Let's go pick chestnuts tomorrow morning."
"Okay." Xiulan agreed with a smile.
They had a big meal at the elder brother's house in the evening, and then the elder sister-in-law, Lin's mother, agreed to go pick chestnuts together the next day.
Early the next morning, a group of them set off and ran to Chestnut Hill.
After the rain, the chestnuts have fallen from the trees. It's quite quick to pick them up. You can see some after walking a few steps.
Several people were immersed in picking up things in the mountains. The joy of harvesting was the most satisfying.
Lin Heng and Xiulan picked up all morning and went back. Lin Heng picked up fifteen or sixteen kilograms, and Xiulan picked up twenty kilograms more.
They were actually late. Those who came early could pick up 70 to 80 pounds a day and sell them for a lot of money.
The two of them walked back with chestnuts on their backs, thinking about all kinds of delicacies. Xiulan wanted to make chestnut rice. She peeled the chestnuts, chopped them up, and cooked them with the rice. It tasted delicious and glutinous.
Lin Heng planned to kill a big rooster and stew it with some Codonopsis pilosula and Astragalus membranaceus.
"Then let's do it all, we won't treat ourselves badly." Lin Heng pulled Xiulan and said.
"Okay." Xiulan smiled and nodded.
It was already half past twelve when the two returned to the house. Today, Xiaoxia did not go to school on Sunday. She and her brother were in Hongfeng Mountain, and Father Lin was watching them.
Lin Heng didn't rush to call them when he passed by, but went home alone.
"Oh, it's still a little hot."
Xiu Lan put her things down and took off her blue plaid shirt.
She was wearing a white suspender underneath, which exposed her proud assets at once, rising and falling with her breathing.
"Drink first." Lin Heng handed her the water on the table and watched her drink.
Xiu Lan noticed his gaze and gave him a glare, but she didn't do anything else, and was happy to show him.
Lin Heng took her water cup, drank the rest, and then turned on the fan for the two of them to blow.
Although the temperature was lower than before, it was more than 20 degrees on a sunny day, and it was impossible not to be hot carrying things.
Xiu Lan sat next to Brother Lin. After a good rest, she reached out to remove the spider silk on her hair, and went to get water for them to wash their faces.
Xiu Lan thought about it, looked at Lin Heng and said, "I want to drink sweet wine, you go make some for me, I'll go cook two dishes, and we'll eat steamed buns."
"Okay." Lin Heng nodded in agreement, and went to get the rice wine that had just been brewed these two days to make it.
After frying a potato shreds and a pork stir-fry with sour beans, they also grabbed some pickled bamboo shoots and radish strips, and put them on the small table, watching each other eat and drink.
Without children, the house was unusually quiet, allowing the two to enjoy a rare world of two people.
"I'm so full!"
Xiulan said with emotion after eating.
Lin Heng also smiled and nodded. His stomach and spirit were full at noon today.
After cleaning up the dishes, Xiulan said, "Let's peel the chestnuts before the children come back."
Lin Heng nodded. Peeling chestnuts is a difficult job. Fortunately, he made a simple cross-shaped shell opener with wood and blades.
Put the chestnuts on it and press it to cut the cross-shaped cuts. After cutting, put Xiulan in the pot and fry for a while, and most of the chestnuts will be out of the shell.
It sounds simple, but in fact, the two were busy for an afternoon. When they finally saw a pot of golden shelled chestnuts, they looked at each other with happy and satisfied smiles in their eyes.
"Now we can pack them and put them in the freezer." Xiulan fed Lin Heng two chestnuts and smiled sweetly.
Their family had the kind of self-sealing plastic bags that were specially used to hold a pound of white sugar, which were also suitable for chestnut kernels.
In the end, they put down three bags, one for chestnut rice, one for stewing chicken, and the remaining one for the children as snacks.
After finishing, Xiulan put on a white shirt and buttoned it up high, leaving no trace.
"Let's go, let's go to Hongfeng Mountain to pick up the children."
After putting on her clothes, Xiulan stretched out her hand and said to Lin Heng.
"Let's go." Lin Heng took her hand and walked out. The two walked side by side through the village and came to Hongfeng Mountain.
Lin's mother had also returned at this time. Seeing the two of them coming, she smiled and waved, "Son, Xiulan, you left too early. We left late and found a good thing."
