Return to the small mountain village in 1983

Chapter 101 My granddaughter is so awesome

Lin Heng walked over to the field, where his elder brother was still plowing.

"Do you want to try?" Lin Yue asked aloud.

"Okay." Lin Heng walked over with a smile.

Lin Yue stopped the cow and handed it to Lin Heng.

Lin Heng took it and looked at it first. This old-fashioned plow was very complicated.

The human hand is holding a plow frame made of wood, with a plowshare on it, a triangular iron tool used to break the soil; the plowshare is used to connect the oxen, and the human hand is holding the plow handle to control the direction of the plow and the oxen.

There are two sets of ropes connecting the cows. The plowshare uses two brown ropes two fingers thick connected to a V-shaped wooden yoke. The yoke is placed on the back of the cow's neck, and the cow can be driven to pull it. Plow forward.

There are two skimming ropes on the plow handle, which are connected to the nose rings on the cow's nose from the left and right sides of the cow.

By pulling the skimming rope, you can control the cow's left and right direction or turn its head.

"Hey, let's go!!"

Lin Heng held the handle of the plow and shouted, and the big ox in front started walking slowly.

The plowshare goes into the soil and turns up the soil. Lin Heng only needs to control the direction to complete the turning.

What a great invention this was in ancient times when there were no machines.

"fold!!"

When he reached the end, Lin Heng quickly pulled the rope on the left to turn the cattle back, and he also lifted the plow and turned it around.

Oxen are powerful enough that humans can't dig even one acre of land in a day. Oxen can easily plow five acres of land in a day, and even if they are tired, it will not be a problem to farm [-] or [-] acres of land.

"Hey, let's go!!"

Crack the whip from time to time and the cow will go faster.

In two hours, the remaining land was plowed. The big ox stopped, its hair wet with sweat, and stretched its neck to eat the grass and leaves on the roadside.

"After plowing the land here, let the cows rest for a while, and then we'll plow your land on the other side of Hongfeng Mountain later."

Father Lin came over and untied the shackles, untied the rope, and took the cow to rest and eat grass.

"I don't need to plow over there. I don't plant anymore. I can just bring the cattle home." Lin Heng shook his head and said.

Father Lin turned to look at him: "You don't farm and drink from the northwest wind, do you?"

"Xiulan and I have discussed that at the beginning of August in the Gregorian calendar, I will ask someone to dig the two acres of land into a fish pond and shrimp pond, and we will raise fish and shrimp next year." Lin Heng looked at his father and said.

Father Lin glanced at him and didn't care: "You guys are already living alone anyway, just make your decision.

I have done everything I should do for you, including getting you married and building a house for you.

What happens next is entirely up to you. Making money is your responsibility, and losing money is your responsibility. "

After finishing speaking, Father Lin asked again: "Are you sure you don't want to plow? Then I will take the cow back to feed it now."

"OK." Lin Heng nodded.

"Okay." Father Lin came over and packed up the plow, coiled the rope and took off all the accessories.

"Brother, are you really going to raise fish and shrimps? Are you sure?" Lin Yue came over and asked with concern.

"It's no problem to raise them in flowing water, just like raising them directly in the river."

Lin Heng smiled and said, "Of course it's different. This is just to comfort his family."

"Okay, it seems you are determined to make a lot of money." Lin Yue patted his shoulder and sighed.

He still admired Lin Heng for daring to make troubles. His three sons had four mouths to eat every day when they woke up, so they didn't dare to make troubles at all.

Lin Heng smiled and said: "Yes, there is no future in farming. I am still young. If I lose, I will make more money."

"If you need my help, just say it. There's no need to be polite." Lin Yue said again.

"Brother, don't worry, I will definitely come to you if I need anything."

Lin Heng understood the difficulty of his eldest brother very well. Who among the three sons would dare to mess around?
  But it doesn't matter, he is there, get up and fly with his big brother.

"By the way, are you still going to catch eels at night?"

Lin Heng asked again. Because he has been busy, he only caught eels once this year.

Lin Yue shook his head: "We can't catch them now. After the seedlings grow, we can't catch them in the fields. We can only catch them in the river, but it's not easy to catch them either."

"Okay, let's wait for some corn. Let's go hunting in the mountains with dad in a few days. There hasn't been much farm work recently."

"Okay, I also want to try my luck in the mountains." Lin Yue nodded.

"Dad, are you going?" Lin Heng asked loudly again.

"It depends on the situation. Go when you have time." Father Lin pulled the cow and said as he walked.

Lin Heng was helpless: "Okay."

"I'll be back soon to move the wheat. You and your elder brother each have [-] kilograms of wheat. Next year, you will plant the land and harvest it yourself."

Father Lin carried the plow and led the cattle for a long distance, and the voice came back again.

Lin Heng looked at his father's back. This man said that he didn't care, it was none of his business. All he was thinking about was this family.

Lin Heng turned around and helped carry bamboo shoots. Xiulan and the others broke off a lot of bamboo shoots and picked up some pigweed, which was a lot of work.

"Dad, hug!"

As soon as Lin Heng carried Pigweed on his back, his daughter ran over and let him hold her.

She had been playing here with her two brothers and Xiongba all afternoon today, and now her face and clothes were dirty.

"Hold you, you have to learn to walk on your own." Lin Heng stretched out his hand to pull her.

"I want to hug!"

She stamped her feet and became even more angry, looking very cute.

Lin Heng held her little hand and whispered, "If you don't leave, you will be spanked."

Xiaoxia was stunned and looked back. Her mother was holding a bamboo stick and looking at her.

She turned around, took her father's hand and walked forward, so fast that she didn't dare to say anything.

"Honey, do you want to catch cicada monkeys tonight?" Lin Heng asked on the way.

"Okay, I happen to want to eat it too." Xiulan nodded.

I worked quickly today. It was only half past six when I got home, and it was still more than an hour before dark.

At this time, the sun has not completely set at eight o'clock.

"Why don't you invite your parents and eldest brother to come over for dinner today? Let's cook some vegetables.

I just happen to still have some pig intestines and oily residue, so I’ll make steamed buns stuffed with oily residue at night.”

Opening the door to the main room, Xiulan looked at Lin Heng and said.

Xiulan fried pig intestines twice a day, and she still has some.

Lin Heng also thought it was good when he heard it, nodded and said: "Okay, let's have a lively dinner together, I'll call Caiyun, mom, and sister-in-law over to help you.

I took my dad and eldest brother to go fishing and see if I could catch something to eat. "

"Then you go now. I'll give Xiaoxia a bath, change her clothes, and then start cooking." Xiulan said.

Lin Heng nodded and went out to find someone. He told his eldest brother and sister-in-law first, and after a few words, they agreed.

Lin Heng and his eldest brother went to the old house together. When they came over, Lin Heng's father was feeding the cows, feeding them a pot of corn mush.

Every time the land is plowed, the big ox can get a pot of this as a reward.

"If you come here to move the wheat, wait a minute. It hasn't been weighed yet." Father Lin said while touching the back of the cow.

Lin Heng shook his head: "No, I'm here to ask dad to come to my place for dinner tonight."

"Why are you going to eat there? Your mother is already doing it. You can eat it yourself." Father Lin shook his head.

"Dad, you still have a reason for me to ask you to eat. Come over and eat later. I told my mother not to do it."

Lin Heng said helplessly, thinking that it would be impossible to ask his father to go fishing with him.

He was probably still angry, feeling that he didn't listen to him. But it doesn't matter, he will understand when he achieves success.

Lin Yue stayed to help Lin's father and persuade him.

Lin Hengze entered the yard and walked into the house. Caiyun and Lin's mother were picking green beans. Recently, many fruits and vegetables have begun to bear fruit. It will soon be the time when there is not enough vegetables and fruits to eat and they can only feed the pigs.

"Mom, Xiulan asked you and Caiyun to go over and help cook and eat at my house in the evening. Don't do it." Lin Heng looked at his mother and said.

"Okay, your sister and I picked the green beans and brought them over to eat." Mother Lin was very happy. Going to her son's house for dinner was a normal thing.

"By the way, does your dad not agree?" Mother Lin asked again.

Lin Heng spread his hands: "Yes, I don't want to go."

"It's okay. You can go about your business. I'll give you some advice." Mother Lin waved her hand, indicating that this was not a big deal. Lin Heng nodded, and when he came out, he saw his elder brother shouting: "Come on, brother, I will take you fishing."

"Okay." Lin Yue said with a smile. The two brothers went side by side to get the tools, and then set out together to go fishing and hunting on the Hongfeng Mountain in the village.

Mother Lin and Caiyun took the beans and went to Lin Heng's house to help Xiulan.

When they came over, Xiulan had already given Xiaoxia a bath and changed into clean clothes. The little girl was now as white and clean as a little princess from a fairy tale.

"Come, aunt, hug me."

Caiyun looked at Xiaoxia and picked her up and kissed her several times.

"Call Auntie!" Caiyun said, touching Xiaoxia's little face.

"Auntie!" Xiaoxia called out loudly, her voice like the cry of a lark.

"It smells so good. I call her mother-in-law." Mother Lin couldn't help but touch Xiaoxia. The little girl took a bath with soap and it smelled very good.

"Mother-in-law." Xiaoxia called again.

The sound of milky milk suddenly melted Mother Lin's heart. After teasing for a while, Mother Lin's heart lit up and she suddenly had an idea.

"Caiyun, go take Xiaoxia to your father and let him take it with him, so that he won't be idle all day long." Mother Lin said.

"Okay." Caiyun nodded, hugged her little niece and went out.

Father Lin had just finished taking a cold shower and was about to feed the cows some grass. Caiyun came over with Xiaoxia in her arms, teased Xiaoxia in her arms and said, "Can you let your grandpa hold you?"

Xiaoxia looked at Father Lin, stretched out her little hand and said in a sweet voice, "Grandpa, hug me!"

Father Lin was also melted by the cuteness of his little granddaughter. He couldn't bear to refuse and stretched out his arms to hold her in his arms.

"Dad, please take care of me, I'm leaving." Caiyun saw her father taking over, said something and ran away.

"Come back..." Before Father Lin could say anything, Caiyun disappeared.

"Grandpa, get out!" Xiaoxia pointed outside, indicating that she wanted to go out to play.

After looking at this beautiful little granddaughter, Father Lin couldn't bear to refuse. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take you out to play."

Taking his granddaughter out for a walk, he put Xiaoxia down and pulled her away.

"This is dogtail grass, this is garlic..."

Xiaoxia pointed to the plants on the roadside and said to herself, she now recognizes them several times a day, picking them and talking, having a great time.

"You still know grass, Xiaoxia, what is this?"

Father Lin was surprised. Not only did his little granddaughter talk a lot recently, but she also knew flowers and plants?
  He didn't believe it, so he pointed to a pear tree nearby and asked.

Xiaoxia tilted her head and looked at it, and said in a milky voice: "It's a pear tree!"

Father Lin was surprised. He really knew him. He pointed to a plantain on the ground. Xiaoxia looked at it and said, "This is a plantain."

"My granddaughter is so smart?" Father Lin was shocked that a one-year-old and a few months old could actually know so many plants.

He didn't know that Lin Heng took his daughter to look for things every day when he had nothing to do, three or four times a day for more than half a month. It was normal to remember this.

Playing all the way, the grandfather and grandson soon arrived under the big ginkgo tree in the village. Many people were enjoying the shade and chatting here, a bunch of men and a bunch of women.

There are also a bunch of children playing in the mud here. This era is a time of population explosion, and there are many children in the village.

Wearing clean clothes and looking like a porcelain doll, Xiaoxia stood out among these children and quickly attracted a group of people's attention.

"Lin Xian, this is your little granddaughter, she is so beautiful." Mr. Liu Sanye, an old man from the Liu family, said with a smile.

"Yes, my little granddaughter." Father Lin said with a smile.

"He looks so good-looking, just like a little sugar man, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to take care of him. He has to change his clothes several times a day. It's easier to take care of his son. He can play in the mud for a long time." Li Caifeng glanced at Xiaoxia, a little confused. Sour.

"It's easy to take care of. My little granddaughter doesn't cry or make trouble, and she knows many flowers, plants and trees." Father Lin touched Xiaoxia's face and said with a smile.

"Such a little kid knows flowers and plants? You're probably bragging." Mr. Liu looked unbelieving.

"If she can recognize five kinds of flowers and plants, I will get her two persimmons to eat." Wang Jin, a beekeeper with a thousand yuan, looked at Lin's father and said, his voice was very loud.

When he made such a fuss, many people looked over and didn't believe that a one-year-old baby could recognize flowers, plants and trees.

Father Lin glanced at Wang Jin with dissatisfaction. He disliked this person very much and said with a smile: "There's no need for persimmons. She doesn't like eating them. If you want to see them, I'll let you have a look."

"Little baby, what is this?" Liu Sanye pointed at a dog's tail grass and said.

"Tail grass!" Xiaoxia was not very afraid of strangers and said in a milky voice.

"Hey, it's really good." Liu Sanye was stunned, and then pointed to a small garlic on the roadside that was difficult to recognize.

"Little Garlic!" Xiaoxia looked at it and recognized it.

"What is this!" Wang Jin did not believe in evil and pointed to the plum tree not far away.

"This is a plum tree!" Xiaoxia still tilted her head and answered.

Everyone in the village was shocked. Is a one-year-old girl so powerful? They rushed to ask questions one by one, and Xiaoxia was able to answer eight out of ten of them.

"Oh my god, how do you teach this?"

"Really one year old?"

"Why does my baby only know how to cry and fuss, let alone recognize things? He can't even learn to use the toilet. How did you manage him?"

A group of people asked incredulously, the difference is too big for the same children, thank God if the ones in their own family don't cry or make trouble, how come they are so obedient and well-behaved in other people's houses and can still recognize objects.

"Wang Jin, do you believe me now? Is he better than your grandson?" Father Lin asked with a smile.

Wang Jin smiled awkwardly and said forcefully: "I have some skills, but it's of no use. That kid won't know this when he grows up, and he can't be used as food."

Mr. Liu San couldn't stand it anymore and laughed: "People can recognize objects at the age of one and memorize poems at the age of three. Your grandson still wets the bed at the age of three."

Wang Jin's face darkened: "I'm too lazy to talk to an old man like you."

"Don't run away, bring the persimmons. If the little girl won't eat it, I'll eat it." Mr. Liu snorted coldly. He had long disliked Wang Jin, and he showed off his filthy money every day.

Wang Jin turned around and left, cursing in his heart, "I just recognized a few things. This old guy is so happy. I'll see if you can still laugh when your son Sanghuang loses all his money. Let's ride on a donkey to see." Ledger, let’s see.

"Lin Xuan, how did you teach your granddaughter? Teach me too. I'll go back and teach that silly boy of mine." Someone asked aloud.

"Yeah, stop being so pretentious and tell me quickly." A group of people gathered around him asking for explanation.

Not to mention how happy Father Lin is, his precious granddaughter is so smart and amazing. It seems that Lin Heng, that bastard, is not useless. At least he can take care of his daughter well.

"Hehe, I don't know about that either. My son and daughter-in-law usually take care of it. I just played with it for a while today." Father Lin chuckled.

"Then go ask and tell us tomorrow. It's too difficult to bring up a good baby." Some people shook their heads, simply not believing that a one-year-old baby could be so powerful.

Next to them, Li Caifeng and Liu Lan were secretly shocked. They remembered that Lin Heng seemed to take the trouble to teach his daughter how to speak and recognize objects every morning.

At that time, both of them felt that it was a waste of effort, but they did not expect that it would be effective so quickly, and they immediately wanted to educate their children.

But just thinking about it makes me feel tired, so I might as well forget it. Anyway, it’s useless to get to know Huahuacaocao. You can still get to know each other when you grow up. If you have this time, you might as well chat for a while.

"Okay, I'll ask you later." Father Lin smiled from ear to ear.

After chatting for a while, Lin's father had forgotten about going to hunt cattle grass, and Xiaoxia was running and playing next to him.

"Grandpa, you're thirsty!" Xiaoxia said, pulling on his trouser leg when she was tired of playing.

"Okay, I'll get you honey syrup when I get home."

Father Lin picked up his granddaughter and fell in love with her more and more. She thought to herself that she still had to work hard, even if that silly boy Lin Heng lost money, she still had to let her good granddaughter have food to eat.

On the other side, Lin Heng and his eldest brother Lin Yue came to the foot of Hongfeng Mountain with their dogs.

"Brother, you can fish in this pool. It's very fun." Lin Heng found a pool for his elder brother and taught him how to fish.

He sprinkled some corn ears and hung some earthworms. As soon as he dropped it, a fish bit the hook. Lin Heng flew it up and he had a golden creek grouper more than ten centimeters long. It was so simple.

"Isn't it easy to fish? Brother, please give it a try." Lin Heng smiled and handed the fishing rod to his brother.

"Let me try!" Lin Yue was not very interested in this and took the fishing rod to try.

Within a few seconds of throwing it in, the fishing line was pulled away, but Lin Yue didn't catch it before he realized that the fish had already run away.

"This fishhook has no barbs. You have to keep an eye on it and lift the hook when you bite it." Lin Heng said.

"it is good."

Lin Yue tried twice more and finally caught a grouper in the stream. His eyes shone brightly and he found that fishing seemed quite interesting.

After a while, he was immersed in fishing. He held the fishing rod in his hand and stared into the water intently, lifting it up as soon as a fish bit the hook. Often the fish is thrown directly to the shore behind because of excessive force.

Lin Heng looked at his elder brother's focused look and knew that there was another fisherman in the world.

Fishing is such a magical sport. Before you went fishing, you would have thought that you were an idiot for fishing by the river rain or shine that day.

After fishing twice, I felt it was really interesting. Not only did it come rain or shine, but I had to throw a rod even when crossing the Naihe Bridge.

"Don't tell me, it's really interesting." Lin Yue raised his head and said.

"Haha, brother, just keep fishing. I'll go see if there are any pheasants nearby." Lin Heng said with a smile and left with Xiongba.
