Return to the small mountain village in 1983

Chapter 156 The happiness between brothers, the fish pond construction starts【6.5k】

There were two people coming, and the one walking behind was Lin Heng's uncle Li Baiquan. Naturally, he would not surprise Lin Heng like this.

What really surprised Lin Heng was the young man walking in front, Li Baiquan's second son Li Shiwei, Lin Heng's youngest son.

Li Shiwei looks more like her mother. She is 1.65 meters tall, with a wheat complexion and regular facial features. There is a suture mark on her cheek, which was caused by a fall injury when she was a child.

He looked at Lin Heng and shook his head and sighed: "Oh, it's not easy to come out. I'm here to help you dig a fish pond this time. Firstly, I want to make some money from you, and secondly, I want to play with you."

"Haha, you're most welcome. I'm short of people here." Lin Heng came over and patted his shoulder, grinning.

He knew that Li Shiwei was currently being pinched by his wife, and it was really not easy for him to get out.

Li Baiquan shook the bag in his hand and said with a smile: "I have packed everything. Let's go fry fish someday!"

"No problem, find a day to fry fish." Lin Heng nodded and agreed. He also wanted to try out the effect of this killer fish frying weapon.

The two chatted with Lin Heng's father and elder brother before coming over to help with the work.

Lin Heng was not polite and took them with him, and the five of them worked together.

"You have called sixty people this time. Are you really preparing for a big fight? Are you not afraid of failure?"

Li Shiwei asked curiously. Looking at the scale, he was a little scared. How much would he lose if he lost it?

Lin Heng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid. If you want to do it, just do something big. At worst, I can continue to hunt. Besides, there is a buying station, so I won't be in a loss and can't afford to eat."

"Yes, you are so rich now, how on earth did you learn archery." Li Shiwei sighed with emotion. He rarely played with Lin Heng since he got married.

It's not that he doesn't want to, but his wife doesn't agree to it and won't allow him to play with the second-rate guy.

Now that Lin Heng has become rich, his wife has changed her mind, which makes him a little embarrassed. Fortunately, Lin Heng himself has not changed at all.

"Some things are just gifts." Lin Heng laughed.

While spreading the line, several people chatted. It took a whole morning to finally spread the line and nail the horizontal wooden stakes.

When the workers arrive tomorrow, we can start working directly.

Then he took Li Shiwei to see his fish pond. Grass carp lived well in the grass carp pond. He sprinkled some cornmeal he brought into it.

"I also built a cabin on the mountain. I will take you to see it in the afternoon."

After looking at the fish pond, Lin Heng smiled again.

"That's great. Now, what do you think I would do if I want to start a project to get rich?"

Li Shiwei became more and more envious. Lin Heng was so awesome. He had never thought that Lin Heng would become so rich before.

Lin Heng put his hand on Li Shiwei's shoulder and shook his head: "To be honest, your Mujia Liang doesn't even have a dirt road. It's too difficult to get rich."

After all, they still have dirt roads here that can be opened to traffic. There is only a mountain road less than half a meter above Mujialiang. Anyone who walks on it will be almost dead from exhaustion.

"Oh, it's true." Li Shiwei nodded and sighed, feeling that living on that mountain, the future would be really dark.

"It's not realistic to dig ponds or plant fruit trees on your mountains. At present, raising cattle and sheep is more reliable." Lin Heng thought for a while and said.

In my memory, Li Shiwei did not have any tragic experiences in his previous life, but he did not become rich either. He drifted with the crowd like countless ordinary people, had no goals, and did not dare to fight.

In this life, Lin Heng decided to wait until he has money in two years and give him a hand. It's too early now. He is just a small household with ten thousand yuan and has no ability to lead others.

"I think so too. I'm going to buy two ewes and breed them slowly." Li Shiwei nodded. He was not as rich as Lin Heng, so he could only save little by little.

After returning home, Lin Heng took people to his home for dinner.

When the two learned that Lin Heng had recently guarded another wild boar, they didn't know what to say.

"From now on, all the wild boars on the mountain will turn away and run away when they see you. They have harmed six of them in half a year. How cruel." Li Shiwei shook his head in admiration.

"Didn't you guard it? There have been a lot of people guarding wild boars recently. It should be easier to fight on your mountain." Lin Heng grinned and asked curiously.

"It's not easy to guard. We guarded for five nights. We fired a shot and wounded the wild boar but couldn't catch it." Li Baiquan shook his head and patted his thigh helplessly.

"That's it, that's really unlucky." Lin Heng shook his head and sighed, but this is normal, this kind of thing happens every year.

Even if there are blood stains left behind, it may not be easily found. The less injured it is, the harder it is to find it.

After the meal was ready, Lin Heng went to help bring it to him. He made six dishes in the morning, three braised pork dishes, one fried rice dumpling, and two vegetarian dishes.

Li Shiwei hadn't eaten meat for many days, so he started eating like crazy after taking a sip of wine.

"The meat is so delicious." Li Shiwei said with emotion after having had enough wine and food.

This was the first time this year that he was satisfied with eating meat, that is, at Lin Heng's house. He was embarrassed to eat like this in other places.

"You can eat whatever you want when your meat tube is full." Lin Heng said with a smile. There was so much fat in the house that no one had to deal with it.

After eating, Lin Heng helped Xiulan wash the dishes, and then took Li Shiwei to visit his house and let him take a look at his modern compound bow.

Whether it was the garden in the backyard, the fish pond, or the compound bow, Li Shiwei was extremely envious, saying that it was great to have money.

He estimated that if he were so rich, his wife would be as virtuous as Xiulan and would not dare to point fingers at him anymore.

Lin Heng's current wealth is completely at the upper-middle level among the middle class, and any random thing will make many people envious.

But this was not to show off, but simply to share his gains and joy with Fa Xiao.

"Let's go fishing." After looking at the things in the house, Lin Heng took Li Shiwei out to fish.

Although Li Shiwei had never fished before, he fell in love with this sport soon after being exposed to it. He sat by the stream and fished all afternoon.

Lin Heng stopped fishing after fishing for a while, mainly because he was tired of fishing for grouper in the stream and there were no surprises at all.

He lay on a stone under the shade of a tree and took a nap while chatting with Li Shiwei.

"Fishing is really fun." Li Shiwei chuckled.

"Of course." Lin Heng said with a smile while sitting on a stone under the shade of a tree. He was very happy to watch a novice fisherman enter the trap.

When the catch was almost done, the two of them killed the fish and took it home, fried it in oil, kept some of it, and brought the rest to the table.

Lin Heng took one and fed it to Xiulan, and said with a smile: "Our harvest at noon is not bad."

"Well, it's okay." Xiulan accepted Lin Heng's attentiveness.

It was a rare meeting between her husband and Li Shiwei, so she naturally didn't say anything and just let them play. She was also busy with family matters alone.

Lin Heng grinned, thinking that Xiulan was considerate, unlike Li Shiwei's wife.

He remembered that he used to go to Li Shiwei to play. Not even half an hour later, his wife came over and drove him back to do this and that for her. It's not a big deal, it's just such a trivial thing that makes me so annoying.

There were some things that she could do by herself, but she wanted to call Li Shiwei back. Every time I went up the mountain, I didn't have a good time, and then Lin Heng stopped going.

In the afternoon, Lin Heng called his father and several others to go to Hongfeng Mountain to help build a cabin.

Lin Heng, his eldest brother, and Li Shiwei were joking and laughing while working. Building a small house like a paradise was the common dream of several people when they were young.

At this time, they were all building very enthusiastically, and the three of them unanimously decided to build a swing.

I set up a swing frame next to the house, and went to the brown hair cutting site to twist a brown rope with a diameter of two centimeters and four strands.

"Who will climb the tree?" Lin Heng asked with a smile.

They chose two large maple trees to make swings. Now they need people to climb up and tie the crossbars to the tree branches.

"How about we compete? Let's see if your tree climbing skills have improved?" Li Shiwei looked at Lin Heng and said.

As people who grew up in rural areas, they are all masters of tree climbing and can climb bamboo, let alone this kind of tree.

I often played tree-climbing competitions when I was a kid. Sometimes I accidentally ruined my pants, and I didn’t dare to go home. Or I would kneel down and hug my legs to beg for mercy when I got home, so that I could get less beaten.

Now all I think about are memories, and for the reborn Lin Heng, these memories are even more distant.

"Just come, I'm afraid you won't succeed." Lin Heng grinned.

"Then I'll tell you to start." Lin Yue said with a smile.

"Ok."

The two came to the tree, and as soon as Lin Yue started climbing, they took the rope and started climbing the tree.

For this kind of tree with few branches, climbing the tree will test the strength of the hands and legs, as well as the tree climbing skills. We can clamp our legs together, hold the tree with both hands and jump up quickly.

Lin Heng was only halfway up when he heard Li Shiwei shouting with a smile: "Lin Heng, you lose, drink one more drink tonight."

Lin Heng turned around to look and exclaimed: "What a guy! You are a monkey."

He thought he was fast enough, but Li Shiwei had already climbed up and sat on a tree branch.

"You're a noob. You haven't crawled for a long time. You still have to watch me." Li Shiwei laughed.

"Climbing trees is not as good as swimming." Lin Heng said, and climbed to a tree branch and sat down.

This place is more than four meters above the ground, and the maple trees are very smooth. It's good to climb up. This guy Li Shiwei is a monkey.

"Here, tie the beam up."

Lin Yue tied the beam to the end of the rope from below. Lin Heng and Li Shiwei pulled the rope and pulled the beam up.

After it is tied up on the tree branch, the swing rope made of brown hair is tied to the crossbar and it is complete.

There is a saying that it is easier to get up a tree than to get down. If you don't know how to get off a tree, you have to rely on your prostate to brake.

Lin Heng became much more calm at this time. He grabbed the rope and climbed down easily, much faster than Li Shiwei.

Take the prepared board and tie it with brown rope, and a swing one meter above the ground is ready.

As soon as Lin Heng sat on it and tried it, Li Shiwei and Lin Yue rushed up and started pushing.

"Damn it, don't, if it doesn't work, I'll be crippled!" Lin Heng said quickly, but it was too late to think about it.

"Let's go!!"

The two of them laughed and said something, then let go. The swing made a 1,670-degree swing in the air, which was really thrilling and exciting.

A man's swing and a woman's play are not the same thing at all. The two good brothers are so interesting that they push it like crazy.

Fortunately, the brown rope is very strong, otherwise it would not be able to withstand such torment.

But it’s really fun to be happy. When I was a kid, I used to make a swing out of rattan and play with it. Sometimes the rattan would break and the fall would cause pain, and I would continue to do it after I got up.

After playing for a while, Lin Heng came down and the three of them took turns to play, just like the children in the village.

Then another swing was built next to it.

Father Lin and his uncle Li Baiquan, both of whom knew some carpentry work, helped build the fence. Some more wooden boards were sawed and smoothed with a wooden pusher, and they were put together to make a large long table two meters long and one meter wide.

Lin Heng and the others came over to help make six small benches. This thing is not difficult, just a piece of wood and four legs. The required mortise and tenon structure is not difficult, and it was done in a short time.

After putting the tables, chairs and benches into the house, the wooden house looks like it has a little life.

"We need to have a stove in the house. Don't we have one for cooking?" Li Shiwei asked curiously.

"The cooking stove is going to be set up outside. After all, I don't come here to cook often, so I'll use charcoal for the fire inside."

Lin Heng thought for a while and said. It would be too troublesome to build a stove and a stove. You need a lot of fire-insulating materials, otherwise the wooden house will easily catch fire.

So I might as well go outside. Anyway, this is a place where I can stay overnight occasionally, and charcoal heating is enough.

"What about the bed? Do you need to make one?" Father Lin asked with a smile.

Since he got a diesel saw and could cut wooden boards by himself, making ordinary furniture has become much easier. He likes making things by himself.

In the past, it was too tiring to cut wooden boards with a hand saw, and I couldn't cut more than a few pieces in a day.

"Let's make a bed board and two long benches. If you need them, you can prop them up. If you don't need them, you can lean them against the wall and they won't take up any space."

Lin Heng nodded and said.

"Okay." Father Lin nodded and went to get the wooden boards to work on.

Lin Heng and the others uprooted all the small trees in the forest near the house, leaving only the big trees. The whole forest looked very clean and tidy, giving it the feeling of a dream forest.

The three of them were very relaxed and happy working together, as if they were reminiscing about their childhood days.

"That's about it. Let's have a barbecue here in a few days." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"Then I'll practice bow and arrow." Lin Yue said with a smile. He took Lin Heng's previous wooden bow and started practicing.

Li Shiwei knew how to use a shotgun and was also very interested in bows and arrows, so he went to play with him.

Ordinary bows and arrows are much more difficult to practice than modern compound bows, but the two of them are still very interested.

Lin Heng taught everything about the methods and techniques, but mastering them all did not happen overnight.

Even if he had talent, he had to play for a year before he mastered it in his previous life, and it took two years before he became a master.

It is difficult for ordinary people to persevere, and drawing a bow is not an easy task. If you draw a bow for two hours, your body will be sore for a whole day.

Those who used bows and arrows in ancient times were all super tough guys, unlike the delicate and beautiful girls who play bows and arrows in modern games.

Even if she is a woman, she should be a beautiful girl like King Kong Barbie.

The two of them worked hard, and after playing for half an hour, they couldn't play anymore.

"This is so tiring." Li Shiwei rubbed his shoulders and sighed.

Lin Yue also nodded and said: "Yes, I don't feel anything after pulling it once or twice, but if I pull it too many times, my whole arm will be sore."

"Of course, otherwise you would think that ancient archers were so good."

Lin Heng smiled. He now exercises himself every morning, doing the eight Vajra exercises to warm up, and then practicing archery with all hands.

Otherwise, he is afraid that he will be like a crab, one hand will be thick and the other will be thin.

After returning home, the three of them went down to the river to take a bath and competed in breath-holding and swimming. In this aspect, Lin Heng crushed his elder brother and Li Shiwei.

He can hold his breath for one minute, and practice it in the water for one and a half minutes, which can be said to be a perfect beating for both of them.

In the evening, a group of people had a nice drink, and Li Shiwei and his father were all arranged to stay at Lin's father's house.

The Lin family's place was small, and the house was piled full of quicklime, so there was no place to live.

After Lin Heng coaxed Xiaoxia to sleep and lay on the bed, Xiulan leaned over and said with a smile: "Have fun today."

"I'm happy, thanks to my virtuous wife." Lin Heng held her in his arms and said with a smile.

"I thought you were going to play in the cabin with Li Shiwei, but you came back at night." Xiulan said with a wink.

If Lin Heng didn't come back at night, she would be a little sad. Fortunately, this man was very sensible and well-behaved.

"How is it possible? It's enough for brothers to play together during the day. It's better to hold my wife at night. It's nice and soft."

Lin Heng said, and sucked on his wife like a cat.

"You're really good at talking." Xiulan rested next to him and stopped talking.

Lin Heng didn't say anything, and held his wife in his arms for a while. Only when they were about to fall asleep did they let go and fall into a normal sleeping position.

The next morning, Lin Heng got up very early, boiled hot water for his wife, and went to exercise by himself.

"What are you hitting? It's weird." Xiulan shook her head.

"It's for exercise. If you want to learn it, I'll teach you it in a few days. It can extend your life. Or I can teach you Tai Chi. It can make your body look better and your complexion be better." Lin Heng said with a smile.

He has also learned Tai Chi and is considered proficient in it. But they are all for training, but not as powerful as in martial arts.

"Let's talk about it later." Xiulan was a little excited when she heard that she could become more beautiful.

Lin Heng finished his exercise, shot another fifty rounds at the target, exercised his body, and then went to make breakfast.

After dinner, at just seven o'clock, workers came to Lin's house one after another.

"Come in and sign in. Just go to Hongfeng Mountain once."

Lin Heng said with a smile, taking out his workbook and asking people to sign in.

Everyone arrived at half past seven, including relatives of the Lin family, uncle Li Baiquan and his son Li Shiwei, third father Lin Xutao and his son Lin Hai, as well as his father and eldest brother, a total of 66 people.

After signing in, Lin Heng asked his father and elder brother to lead a group of people there first.

On Hongfeng Mountain, Lin Heng divided the people into six groups, five of which were responsible for leveling and spread out from east to west. The work is led by family members, and there are corresponding indicators every day, which can effectively prevent laziness.

There is also a group responsible for building stone ridges. They directly dismantle the stone ridges that were not needed before and then build some more according to his plan.

"Okay, I have arranged the work. If you all work hard, I will pay your wages on time.

Again, a village does not want to cause unpleasant things. Lin Heng said with a smile, indicating that everyone can work.

After assigning the work, Lin Heng rode away without taking anyone with him, leaving everyone confused.

After riding to Huangtan Town, Lin Heng went to the only place selling cement in the town, where the cement was being loaded onto the truck.

That's right, it was installed for him.

"Boss Lin, this tractor is one ton of cement and has been loaded."

Seeing Lin Heng coming on horseback, the cement seller Zhang immediately came over to greet him with a smile on his face.

"I'll show you the way in a moment. Someone will check it when you pull it over. When all the goods are finished, you'll be looking for me to pay."

Lin Heng looked at Boss Zhang and said, he bought ten tons of cement at one time, one ton of cement cost one hundred and thirty-five yuan, ten tons cost one thousand and thirty-five yuan. He couldn't help but that the boss was not attentive.

Even if Lin Heng asked him to do a Yangko dance now, he would still do it.

"Okay, don't worry, Boss Lin, I promise to do a good job for you."

Boss Zhang is a fat man, and his smile looks more like a rubber ball.

After finishing here, Lin Heng went to Tuanjie Brick Factory. This brick factory now employs more people. The technology provided by Lin Heng has improved his competitiveness and ordered a lot more orders.

As soon as Lin Heng came over, the boss Wang Jie personally greeted him, shook hands with Lin Heng warmly, and said with a smile: "Boss Lin, what kind of wind brings you here."

He is so enthusiastic not only because Lin Heng wrote the plan for him, but also because Lin Heng has now opened a buying station and has truly become a boss.

The news that Lin Heng had squeezed out the original Liu Family Buying Station had already spread throughout the town's business district. He did it neatly and directly to the point, making him unable to stand up. Anyone who heard this would break into a cold sweat behind his back.

Especially when Liu Qicheng entered in the end, many people felt that it must have been Lin Heng's doing, and they were a little wary of him, thinking that he had an unusual background.

Therefore, Wang Jie's current attitude was truly respectful, and he was a little afraid of Lin Heng.

Lin Heng understood this, but he never explained it. Mystery makes people unable to see clearly, and the unknown brings fear, so that he can do things better.

"To be honest, I'm here to ask for money. I've been investing in building fish ponds recently and my money is a bit tight." Lin Heng said with a smile.

This made Wang Jie's expression tighten, and he quickly brought him into the house, and said with a smile: "That boss Lin, we agreed at first for half a year, but now I have invested all my money, and I haven't gotten it back yet."

"What should I do? I'm in a hurry." Lin Heng said worriedly.

Wang Jie thought for a while, his eyes lit up and he said: "I wonder if you will use bricks to build the fish pond? I can use the bricks to offset the bill."

"This won't work, it's not cost-effective. I can use stones, so why turn my head." Lin Heng shook his head.

Wang Jie thought for a moment and said, "I'll give you bricks at cost price, which are much better than stones."

Lin Heng wanted this result, but he was not in a hurry. He drank tea and pondered for a while before asking, "How many bricks can one thousand yuan buy?"

"Thirty-five thousand, that's the most. If it's more, I'll lose money." Wang Jie said with a bitter smile.

Lin Heng held out four fingers: "How about fifty thousand bricks?"

"Absolutely not, I might as well lend you the money and pay you back, which will cost me to death." Wang Jie shook his head repeatedly.

"Then you borrow the money. Do you really think I don't know the approximate cost price?" Lin Heng said, spreading his hands.

Wang Jie smiled bitterly and poured tea for Lin Heng to apologize: "In this case, forty-two thousand, this is my limit."

"What do you think about paying for the terracotta tiles worth 40,000 yuan at the end of the year?" Lin Heng thought for a moment and said.

Wang Jie waved his hand and said with a bitter smile: "Okay, okay, I really can't make a cent from doing business with you, Boss Lin."

"Would you like me to calculate it for you? It's not a problem for you to make a hundred bucks for a terracotta tile at this price, right?" Lin Heng smiled slightly. He knew best how much these things cost.

"Boss Lin, please stop talking. It's decided like this. We will send people to get the goods for you." Wang Jie didn't want to say anymore. It was too difficult to make money doing business with insiders.

"Okay, I'll leave first." After the negotiation, Lin Heng left on horseback with a smile.

Naturally, you need bricks to dig fish ponds, and you also need to build a feed room and an incubation room. Just some open-air ponds are not enough.

After finishing it, Lin Heng took Red Date to change a horseshoe, and then went to the store to find Wang Zhou.

"Brother Lin, please come down. If you don't come down, I will go find you."

Seeing Lin Heng, Wang Zhou said excitedly.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Lin Heng was stunned. Looking at his expression, it seemed that something big was going on.
