Return to the small mountain village in 1983

Chapter 10 My Wife Wants to Build a Floor Shop【Please follow up】

Breakfast is pickled cabbage dumpling soup, also called mixed soup. It tastes pretty good. It is a kind of pasta commonly eaten in this era. It tastes okay.

After breakfast, his father looked at everyone, especially Lin Heng, and said, "We are going to plant rice seedlings this morning. We will plant all nine acres of our family's fields in one day, and everyone has to come.

Caiyun and Zhucao helped take care of the children, and everyone else went to the fields. After finishing this work, we were ready to build a house. "

Lin Heng knew that these words were meant for him and did not refuse, which made everyone in his family feel a little incredible.

When he went out to get tools, his mother Lu Hongmei was still following him, which made Lin Heng helpless: "Mom, are you still afraid that I will run away?"

"It's not like you haven't done this before." Mother Lin glanced at him.

"Second dad, your slingshot." The eldest nephew Lin Wei handed the slingshot to Lin Heng and said with a smile: "Second dad, please teach me."

"Okay, but I have to work as your second father." Lin Heng said, spreading his hands.

"That's okay, I'll help you." Five-year-old Lin Wei patted his chest.

"Okay, let's go, let me tell you how to hit accurately..."

Lin Heng carried a backpack and talked to his eldest nephew, using a lot of wild theories. The eldest nephew was stunned and his admiration for Lin Heng could not be increased.

"Lin Wei, come here and stop disturbing your second father's work!"

Sister-in-law Liu Juan suddenly shouted.

"Mom, my second father didn't work..." Lin Wei said aggrievedly.

"Come here and watch your brother, do you want me to get a note?" Liu Juan roared angrily and started looking for branches.

Lin Wei, who was afraid that his butt would bloom, quickly returned to his mother, not daring to say a word.

Lin Heng shrugged and said nothing. He knew that his sister-in-law was afraid that her son would imitate him and not do his job properly.

Her sister-in-law is like this. She is very strict with her three sons and will beat them if they don't obey her.

She feels that all her actions are for the good of her children.

Lin Heng walked over to help his wife hold her daughter, and taught her how to speak, making the little one laugh.

Soon we arrived at the field. My elder brother had already pulled out the rice seedlings. The field had been tidied up a few days ago, and now we just needed to plant the rice seedlings.

The whole family took action at the same time, six people worked together, and the efficiency was still very high.

As soon as he finished working in a field, his father Lin Xuan couldn't help but said: "Lin Heng, if you plant a rice seedling, it's not as neat as your elder nephew."

The others were straight and straight, but Lin Heng's was a little crooked.

"As long as you can survive." Lin Heng didn't care, he buried his head in his own.

"How could I, Lin Xian, be so angry with you?" The angry father Lin dragged his eldest brother to another field. His obsessive-compulsive disorder made him unable to bear it and he had to leave.

One morning, after planting four acres of land and washing his feet by the river, Lin Heng rubbed his lower back and couldn't help complaining: "Farming is really the most uneconomical thing in the world."

His back already hurt, and he had to plant rice seedlings with his back bent all morning, which really killed him.

The rice in the nine acres of land is just enough for his family to feed themselves, and it is still barely enough. There is no such thing as selling the grain.

Not to mention that in this day and age, farmers still have to pay part of the grain tax every year, and it is impossible for farmers to become rich by farming.

"Keep your voice down, dad will hear it later and say something about you again." Chen Xiulan reminded her quickly. After washing her feet, she helped Lin Heng rub her waist.

"I told you last night that I would plant rice seedlings today. Didn't you say it was okay? Your back hurts now?" Xiulan rolled her eyes at Lin Heng and said sarcastically.

"It's not just to serve you..."

Before Lin Heng finished speaking, he felt his wife glaring at him, and he quickly smiled and stopped talking. His wife was thin-skinned and stopped teasing her.

"Then I'll lay the floor to prevent some people from complaining about me." Chen Xiulan kneaded a little harder.

"Just kidding, just kidding." Lin Heng quickly begged for mercy. Then he changed the topic directly: "Daughter-in-law, how much money do we have in total now?"

As soon as he said these words, Chen Xiulan's face immediately became wary: "What do you want to do?"

"I'm going to collect some Phellinus linteus and save it. I have a feeling that the price of Phellinus linteus will rise sharply starting from the end of the year, maybe double or triple."

He remembered another thing this morning, that is, starting from August or September today, Phellinus linata has suddenly increased from [-] cents per catty to three yuan per catty, and other miscellaneous tree yellows can also be sold for two yuan per catty. .

Then most farmers started picking them up, so for the next six months, not a single yellow tree could be seen on the mountain.

He plans to spend money to buy a large amount of Phellinus huang, stock it up, and then sell it in August or September, so that he can have some money to start his own business.

It’s indeed a bit too slow to rely on traveling to the mountains to save money.

Chen Xiulan didn't say anything, obviously she didn't want to use the money like this.

It was not easy for her to save all this money. She had saved it little by little with the money she went to the mountains to collect mushrooms and herbs and sell them.

If her husband is sick, she can take it out without hesitation, but she is reluctant to do such a thing.

What if you lose? Wouldn’t that be all gone?
  Lin Heng saw his wife's expression and quickly changed his words: "It's okay, I'm just saying, don't take it to heart."

He thought carefully that he really shouldn't. The money was all emergency money saved by his wife's hard work. What if his memory was unreliable?

And there’s no need to rush this matter, it’s just the beginning of May according to the Gregorian calendar, and there are still three months left.

He also understands his wife's heart. This is actually the psychology of all farmers. They dare not take risks because there is no cost of right or wrong.

Once you fail to start a business, you will be faced with foreign debts that may take decades to repay, and your family will not be able to afford food.

This really cannot be blamed on farmers for not having the acumen to start a business, but rather for not daring to bet on the future of their families.

"Honey, what do you think this is?"

Lin Heng took out a stone from the water. After the stone was removed, a six-centimeter-long creek grouper appeared in his hand.

"How did you catch it?" Chen Xiulan was stunned. Her husband still has this skill.

"Oh my God, Second Dad, teach me, please teach me!"

The eldest nephew Lin Wei was stunned, his admiration was written on his face.

The second father is not only accurate with his slingshot, but also has such great fishing skills, he is simply the master of his dreams.

"When I was a kid, I did a lot of harm to the fish in this river." Lin Heng laughed.

When he was a child, he was good at catching fish with his hands, hitting rocks with a hammer to stun fish, breaking leaves from medicinal leaves and smashing them into pulp to poison fish. He was still the best at it.

As a result, there were very few fish, shrimps, and crabs in the river for a long time. It has only gradually recovered in the past two years.

"Second father, let's grab a plate and go back to fry it and eat it."

The eldest nephew Lin Wei suggested.

"Let's give it a try." Lin Heng had no hope. Catching fish with bare hands was very skillful.

First, you have to build a trap, push the fish under the small stone, then put your hands together and slowly touch it in, blocking the front and rear entrances, leaving no gaps to catch the fish in your hands.

It sounds simple, but Lin Heng also played it for more than a year before becoming proficient in it as a child, and his skills are very strong.

However, since he started practicing, he has become the king of children and has won the unanimous admiration of his friends.

"Aww..."

As soon as Lin Heng caught a fish, a painful scream came from behind.
