Era: Started from raising livestock in the mountains

"What's going on?"

Lin Heng came over and asked doubtfully.

"Come to the bedroom with me." Xiulan whispered and pulled Lin Heng into the bedroom.

After locking the door, she blushed slightly and said, "I felt like there was a thorn in my butt just now, please show me."

"That's it, leave it to me." Lin Heng smiled slightly, brought a flashlight, asked her to lie on the bed, and examined her carefully.

Lin Heng looked at it with a flashlight and saw the tiny thorn. It was bamboo fiber that had pricked her body somehow.

But looking at the white and soft snow, he couldn't help but move his hands wildly. This was the first time he looked at it like this with a flashlight.

"What are you doing! It's so annoying!"

Xiulan noticed something was wrong and slapped him twice.

"No, no, I was looking for the thorn seriously, and I just found it." Lin Heng grinned. He first tried to pull out the thorn with his hands and found that it didn't work. Then he went to find tweezers and pulled out the small thorn.

After pulling out the thorns, he didn't forget to appreciate the beautiful scenery. It was really special to see it so clearly. The scenery was so beautiful that people couldn't help but stick to it.

"You're so annoying."

Xiulan quickly pulled up her pants, turned around, patted his chest hard and said angrily.

Lin Heng pulled her over and said with a smile: "If you test me with this, I will definitely not be able to withstand such a test."

"Don't be like this... wait until Xiaoxia goes to sleep, okay?" Xiulan was afraid that Lin Heng would mess up, so she quickly gave in.

"Just kidding you." Lin Heng laughed and arranged her clothes. Xiulan looked at him angrily and they went out together.

Lin Heng came out and asked, "Are mom and dad gone?"

"Just left." Caiyun nodded and said, she had cleared the table.

Lin Heng looked at her and smiled: "What about you, were you planning to sleep on the sofa today?"

Caiyun smiled and said, "No, I'm going to take Xiaoxia to sleep in the old house."

Lin Heng and Xiulan looked at Xiaoxia in surprise, and saw her raising her little head and saying crisply: "I want to sleep with my aunt today, and my aunt will tell me stories."

Apart from her parents, she is the closest to Caiyun. Before, no one could take her to spend the night with her, but now she is willing to take the initiative to stay with Caiyun.

"Okay, you have to be obedient." Lin Heng touched her little head and said.

"I will." Xiaoxia nodded.

Xiulan warned, "Caiyunzu remembers to let her go to the toilet before going to bed, so she won't wet the bed."

"I understand, second sister-in-law." Caiyun nodded in agreement.

Finally, Lin Heng asked Xiaoxia again, and took her back to the old house with Fengshou. It would be safer for Fengshou to stay here at night.

When Lin Heng went back, Xiulan was still sitting in the yard enjoying the cool air. It was already half past nine, but she was not very sleepy yet.

In the night sky, there were few stars, and the yellow moon shed a soft light, illuminating everything. The leaves nearby and the green mountains in the distance were very hazy, as if they were separated by a layer of gauze.

"This seems to be the first time since we got married that there are only two of us in the house." Lin Heng locked the door and looked at Xiulan and said.

This year is September 16th of the lunar calendar. The moon is particularly beautiful. It seems that you can clearly see the craters on the moon.

"Yes, this is the first time that there are only two of us in the same house, and there is no one else all night." Xiulan nodded.

There used to be more than a dozen people living in the old house, but even after the new house was built, Xiaoxia was always by her side.

Of course, there was still time for the two of them to be alone, but it was either in a small bedroom or in the wild mountains.

Lin Heng looked at her in thin clothing and asked, "Is it cold?"

"It's not cold. The temperature is quite comfortable now." Xiulan nodded.

Lin Heng went to get a glass of water and sat next to Xiulan.

The time to calm down seems to be very long, and looking up at the stars is a romantic thing.

Because the starry sky is far away, it is elegant and quiet, and it embodies people's longing.

Lin Heng likes to watch the stars because it can make people calm. He also loves life because this is his foundation and the meaning of existence.

All his life, he wanted to take Xiulan to see the world, give his family and children a prosperous life, and be able to freely choose their own way of life.

It's just that in the process of achieving this goal, he was unwilling to rush for quick success, give up time with his family, and dive into money.

If so, he would probably get nothing but money in the end.

The correct way is to develop step by step, develop steadily, experience it with your family, and grow with your children.

You can never make enough money and your life is only so long. Finding the meaning of your life is the most important thing.

Xiulan didn't look at the stars very much before. She felt they were too far away from her, but Lin Heng took her to see them and she fell in love with stargazing.

She only felt cold about the stars, but she felt warm next to Lin Heng.

"Go back to the house, it's a bit cold."

At ten o'clock, Xiulan leaned next to Lin Heng and said.

"good."

Lin Heng smiled and nodded, stood up, picked up the water glass and took Xiulan back to the bedroom.

Take off your clothes, go to bed, and do some of the things you love.

Even if there is no one, the two of them can't let go of their happiness. After all, Xiulan is a pregnant woman with a big belly.

Just quietly lengthened the time to express love.

Early the next morning, they woke up as usual and did their morning exercises facing the same sun.

Then the two of them worked together to make breakfast, and when Xiaoxia and Caiyun came over, they were ready to eat.

There are no eggs for breakfast today, because the chickens in the back mountain have laid fewer eggs recently, which is only enough for Xiaoxia and Xiulan.

And the batch of chickens hatched in Hongfeng Mountain this year have not yet reached the egg-laying time.

However, Lin Heng doesn't like to eat eggs very much. Fried fish is also delicious and nutritious, and there is a lot of yogurt to eat.

After breakfast, they looked at the cows and went to Hongfeng Mountain. The temperature was a little cold in the morning, and there were still water droplets on the grass, but it couldn't stop Xiaoxia and Xiongba from running around happily.

She was always happy, chasing Xiongba back and forth to play.

Parents have been working on reclaiming the area halfway up Hongfeng Mountain these days. Lin Heng took Xiulan, Xiaoxia and others to see the black fish they raised, as well as the beautiful minnows.

"This is enough to eat for more than a month." Xiulan looked at the fish in the net cage and said in surprise.

The real thing is always more shocking than words. The nine black fish splashing in the water are too shocking.

"Dad, I like to eat fish~"

Xiaoxia said in a baby voice while looking at the black fish in the net cage.

"We can have a meal of fish in three days." Lin Heng touched her face and said.

This fish is caught for the family to eat. Black fish meat is rich in nutrition and is very good for pregnant women and children.

After watching, Lin Heng asked Xiulan Caiyun to play here first. He left and went to find his eldest brother to ask if he had time to go to the city with him to help in the next two days.

"Are you going down tomorrow?" Lin Yue asked.

"Yes, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow is fine, but this time I have to stay down for a few days." Lin Heng said.

"Then the day after tomorrow, I want to talk to your sister-in-law tomorrow to go to the mountains to dig herbs and pick hawthorns." Lin Yue said with a smile.

"No problem, then the day after tomorrow." Lin Heng nodded and agreed.

After speaking, Lin Heng went to feed the cows and then returned to Hongfeng Mountain.

It was not hot in the morning, he took a pickaxe to help open up the wasteland, and Xiulan took Xiaoxia to play on the cement path not far away.

The main thing about opening up the wasteland is to cut trees, dig grass roots and tree roots, and pick out all the stones in the soil.

Normal land reclamation requires stone embankments. The terraces on the hillsides are built by farmers one stone at a time.

There is no good land for growing crops in the mountainous area, so most of the land is built by themselves.

The hillside of Hongfeng Mountain is not too steep, so there is no need to build stone embankments to block the soil, which saves some effort.

But even so, it is still very laborious. The land that three people can open up in the morning is only about one-tenth of an acre.

One acre is equal to ten, and three people can only open up two mu of land in a day.

"During this period of time, the crops are harvested and the farmers are idle. Do you want to ask someone to help with the land reclamation?"

Lin Heng was working and looked at his father and asked.

Father Lin wiped his sweat and nodded, "Yes, but don't call too many people. Ten or so is enough."

The land that needs to be reclaimed is indeed too large. If I rely on myself alone, I can't finish it from now until the end of the year.

"It's better to call more at one time, so that it will work faster." Lin Heng shook his head and said.

Lin's mother agreed with her son's point of view: "I also think it's good to have more people, so that we can finish the work earlier and more efficiently."

"Listen to my father." Xiaoxia said in a baby voice in the distance. Anyway, her father is the best.

"Okay, okay, listen to your father." Lin's father looked at his granddaughter and smiled.

"Then wait for a few days until the shrimps are sold before looking for someone to open up the wasteland. I will go to the city with my eldest brother the day after tomorrow." Lin Heng thought for a while and said.

These green shrimps are already fully mature. They will not grow much if they are fed again. If they are not sold, it will only waste feed.

"Okay, it shouldn't be difficult to find a buyer, right?" Lin's father asked a little worriedly.

"Don't worry, Dad, I have a hundred ways to sell them, and there will be no shortage of sellers." Lin Heng said with a smile.

He is too familiar with Taibai City. It is not difficult to sell these shrimps, especially the quality is so good.

"That's fine." Lin's father nodded.

Continue to work, in a blink of an eye it was already ten o'clock, Lin Heng was just about to go to work, Lin's father suddenly said: "A lot of voles!"

Lin Heng looked up and saw four or five voles coming out of the broken stone steps and running towards the bushes.

Lin's father was quick to kill one with a hoe, and the rest all ran away.

"Here!" Lin's father picked up the voles and threw them to Xiongba in the distance.

Xiongba took a look and looked up at Lin Heng. Lin Heng understood that it wanted to roast it and eat it. This guy was too picky.

"Maybe there are little voles here." Lin Heng looked at Xiongba and walked over and said.

After digging twice with the hoe, he heard a squeaking sound. With a slight digging with his hands, more than a dozen pink and chubby little voles were found.

"There are really little voles." Lin's mother was surprised.

"Let me see, let me see~"

Xiaoxia trotted over, very curious.

"Slow down." Lin Heng quickly took her over and let her look at the little vole.

"What a fun little vole." Xiaoxia reached out and touched it, then looked up at Lin Heng, "Dad, can I keep one too?"

"No, it's a bad guy, it can only be used to feed Xiongba." Lin Heng looked at her and said.

"Awoo~"

Just as Lin Heng finished speaking, Xiongba stretched out his big head and licked the vole cub into his mouth in two bites. With a squeak, it went into his stomach.

"Oh, Xiongba, you are so annoying, I haven't seen enough!"

Xiaoxia patted Xiongba's big head and said dissatisfiedly.

"Awoo~"

Xiongba turned his head and rubbed her face.

"Bad dog!"

Xiaoxia pulled its tail and slapped it. Xiongba had long been accustomed to this kind of painless slap and was playing with her.

"Xiaoxia, come here, stop causing trouble over there." Xiulan called from a distance.

"Come on, come on!"

Xiaoxia chased Xiongba and had forgotten about the little mouse.

Lin Heng and his father continued to work and did not return home until almost half past eleven.

The sun was not very bright at noon, so after lunch they went to play in a nearby mountain stream.

Xiulan took off her shoes and sat in the shallow water to soak her feet in the stone man. Xiaoxia stepped on the smooth pebbles with her bare feet and played in the water. After playing for a while, she ran to the nearby beach to play in the sand.

Caiyun and Lin's mother were washing clothes in the upper area, while Lin Heng accompanied Xiaoxia and played with her in the sand, and went to catch stream groupers at the edge of the large pool below the dam above.

In this pool, a group of groupers swim happily, and in the center there are countless splashes of water under the wash of the waterfall, making the water here rich in oxygen.

There are small smooth pebbles all around. Lin Heng really wants to take a bath here, but he is afraid that Xiaoxia will have to give up if he follows suit.

After playing for a while, after Caiyun and the others finished washing their clothes, Lin Heng took Xiaoxia Xiulan back and continued land reclamation work in the afternoon.

After working for two days in a row, Lin Heng took Xiaoxia Xiulan and the others for a picnic by the stream at noon the next day.

There is no special reason, I just want to go for a picnic. There are not so many reasons in life.

On the morning of October 13th, Lin Heng had breakfast early, put on his Chinese tunic suit and prepared to set off.

"How long will you stay this time?" Xiulan asked softly after adjusting the collar of her clothes.

"About three days, the main thing is to find someone to clean up the factory." Lin Heng said with a smile.

The main purpose of cleaning up the factory is to give them a place to live.

"Then be careful." Xiulan said.

Lin Heng coaxed Xiaoxia and drove out. On the highway, his elder brother was already waiting with one or two bags of herbs.

"Let's go."

Lin Yue smiled after getting in the car.

"Let's go." Lin Heng started the car, and the two set off towards downtown Taibai City.

With the help of his elder brother Lin Heng, he reached the city in two hours at a very fast speed.

Let his elder brother sell the herbs first, and he drove on.

"Brother, where are we going?" Lin Yue asked curiously. He had been here a few times and had memorized the approximate road to the factory. This was obviously not that way.

Lin Heng turned around and smiled: "It is indeed not the way to the factory. I am going to find Liu Sheng."

"Why are you looking for him? Isn't he with Zhao Hu and the others?" Lin Yue was a little curious.

"It's true that I'm with them. I'm asking them what's going on there and asking him for help." Lin Heng nodded.

Liu Sheng had already told him where Liu Sheng and the others lived in Taibai City, but he had never looked for it.

This time he went to find it because he had a new idea, selling shrimp, and he didn't want to go through the dealer's hands again.
