Return to the small mountain village in 1983

Chapter 176 Taking my wife into town again

When he walked into the store, Wang Zhou was lighting a fire in the yard. When he saw Lin Heng, he quickly said hello: "Brother Lin."

"Is there nothing going on in the store recently?" Lin Heng asked with a smile.

Wang Zhou shook his head: "Everything is as usual, except that there have been a lot fewer people selling goods recently, which is far different from the previous month."

With that said, he went over and brought the ledger to Lin Heng for inspection.

Lin Heng took a look, and thanks to his good memory after rebirth, he quickly made a rough calculation.

Fortunately, the fluctuations this month will not be huge, and the profits will not be much different from last month.

But starting next month, it is expected to plummet.

"My fireplace? Didn't you bring it with you?" Lin Heng asked.

"No movement." Wang Zhou shook his head.

Lin Heng nodded: "Then it will probably be delivered after a few days."

He asked wholesaler Li Guoqiang to buy him a fireplace, and he probably didn't want to deliver it to him alone.

After chatting for a while, Lin Heng saw Uncle Gao coming out of the room wearing a coat and walked over quickly.

Uncle Gao looked at him and said with a smile: "Xiao Lin, the leopard meat you sent last time is really useful. After eating it, I feel a little hot when sleeping these days, and my limbs have become stronger."

Lin Heng smiled and said, "As long as it works, I'll take you to the mountains for hunting when it snows again."

Uncle Gao nodded: "Okay, I happen to have itchy hands. You can get a carriage to pick me up when the time comes."

After playing here for a long time, Lin Heng went to the town to have a look. Lin Heng returned home at noon.

"Come back so soon?" Xiulan asked curiously.

Lin Heng nodded: "I went down mainly to see if the fireplace came, but the fireplace still didn't come.

You and Xiaoxia will go to town with me tomorrow. Let's buy some clothes while doing errands. "

He has three things to do when he goes down tomorrow: sell musk; arrange for Li Guoqiang to come up in advance to pull a batch of wire switches and light bulbs; and buy a set of winter clothes for Xiulan Xiaoxia and himself.

In fact, he recently wanted to register an agricultural company, but when he thought about a lot of things, he had to wait for a while.

Moreover, registering a company is more troublesome than going through the procedures for a self-employed business owner.

"Okay." Xiulan nodded in agreement.

In the afternoon, Lin Heng went to see the forest musk deer. The male forest musk deer didn't eat and drank two mouthfuls of water.

Lin Heng looked at it and thought it was caused by stress, and he should be fine in two days.

The female forest musk deer stopped roaring after mating. I gave her a bowl of corn mush and ate it very deliciously.

When his father came back from Hongfeng Mountain, Lin Heng told them about the incident and asked them if they had anything they could help buy.

"No, just don't buy randomly." Father Lin shook his head.

Mother Lin also advised: "Your father and I both have clothes, so save the money. There will be plenty of places to spend money in the future."

"Okay." Lin Heng spread his hands.

Li Shiwei said: "Lin Heng, please bring me two hairpins and hairpins."

His eldest brother Lin Yue also handed him twenty yuan to buy three pairs of cotton shoes for his three sons from the city.

"No problem." Lin Heng nodded.

The carriage was packed up in advance, and early the next morning, Lin Heng took his wife and daughter down in the carriage.

When they arrived in town, they called Wang Zhou together.

Wang Zhou smiled and took the whip in his hand and said, "Brother Lin, you sit back and take care of the baby, and I'll drive the car."

"Okay." Lin Heng nodded and did not refuse.

Sitting in the back of the car, holding Xiaoxia in her arms.

He arrived in the city in two hours. He first went to the buying station to sell musk.

The current price of musk is 30 yuan per gram. Here he sells 1 grams for 34 yuan.

He didn't ask Jin Fuqiang to sell musk. When Lin musk grew in scale, he would directly sign an order with a pharmaceutical company, and the price would be higher.

"Let's go shopping for clothes." After coming out, Lin Heng looked at Xiulan and Xiaoxia and said.

"Okay!" Xiulan nodded.

Xiaoxia came to the city for the first time. She hugged Xiulan a little timidly and looked at the passers-by with her big eyes.

The cities in the 1980s were also very shabby, but they were still novel to rural people.

After driving the carriage to deposit the money, he went to the mall and asked Wang Zhou to look at the carriage. Lin Heng took Xiulan and her daughter into the mall.

“Wander slowly, don’t be in a hurry.”

Lin Heng took Xiulan and Xiaoxia to stroll around slowly.

"This sweater is good. Why don't you buy it for only six yuan?" Lin Heng said looking at a high-collared white women's sweater.

"Okay." Xiulan nodded. She thought this sweater was pretty good.

When I agreed to buy clothes with Lin Heng, I didn't show any pretense.

Even in the largest shopping mall in the city, the variety of clothes is still a bit difficult for Lin Heng to see.

He was not satisfied with the clothes that Xiulan thought were very good. The colors and styles of clothes in this era were too monotonous.

When he walked to a children's clothing store, Lin Heng's eyes suddenly lit up. He pointed at a set of cotton-padded jackets and said, "This is good, so I bought it for Xiaoxia."

He was pointing to a Northeastern large-flowered jacket with a large number of peonies printed on it.

"Let her try it on!" Xiulan said with a smile. This dress is indeed festive enough.

This red floral cotton-padded jacket is not the modern kind of vertical buttons, but the ancient kind of slanted buttons that go from the chin to the right chest and go down from the right waist.

And the buttons are also the same kind of cloth buttons as before, which has a very retro feel.

After putting it on Xiaoxia, she felt inexplicably festive and looked very cute, like a walking elf.

"Not bad, I just bought this set." Xiulan nodded.

"How much is this, boss?" Lin Heng turned around and asked.

"This set costs 15 yuan, and I can give her a little flower hat." The female boss said with a smile.

"Give me another pair of gloves." Lin Heng counter-offered.

After negotiating the price, Lin Heng successfully got a pair of woolen gloves for his daughter.

Then he bought her a pair of cotton shoes, and then picked out clothes for Xiulan.

Lin Heng first bought two pairs of pork shreds, which made Xiulan roll her eyes.

"This wool coat is not bad, what do you think?"

After searching for a while, Lin Heng found a pretty good mid-length khaki wool coat.

Xiulan looked at the price on the tag and said, "No, I'd better buy a cotton-padded jacket. This clothes is a bit expensive."

This wool coat actually cost sixty yuan. It looked good, but it was too expensive and she was reluctant to spend it.

"You put it on and take a look before talking." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"It must look good. Your wife is so pretty and looks good in anything she wears." The saleswoman next to her said with a smile.

Lin Heng asked Xiulan to change into it. When she put on this dress, she looked much more beautiful. "I'll buy it if you give me a scarf." Lin Heng said with a big wave of his hand.

"Okay, I'll put it up for you." The saleswoman's eyes lit up. It's rare to see such a generous customer.

An ordinary scarf is nothing compared to it.

Walking out with the clothes, Xiulan was happy but helpless. She hugged Lin Heng's arm and said, "These are my clothes for the New Year. I won't buy them for the New Year."

Lin Heng smiled and nodded: "That's okay, I'll buy you a cheaper cotton-padded jacket."

Xiulan couldn't resist him and beat him without giving up, so she could only buy another red cotton-padded jacket with white plum blossoms printed on it.

This time it was a normal cotton-padded jacket with vertical buttons, giving Xiulan a sober and elegant feel.

Then I bought two pairs of cotton pants, one pure black and one with small red roses.

As for shoes, I bought Xiulan a pair of black cotton shoes and a pair of brown mid-calf boots.

"Are you happy now?" Xiulan squeezed Lin Heng's hand and pursed her lips.

The shoes and clothes bought for her and her daughter cost a total of one hundred and thirty-eight yuan, which was too extravagant.

"You said you won't buy anything during the New Year, so you must buy something better." Lin Heng said with a smile and spread his hands.

"Okay, then I'll choose a set for you." Xiulan looked at him and said.

Lin Heng loves black, so Xiulan bought him a black military coat and a navy blue cotton-padded jacket.

I bought two pairs of cotton pants in a solid color. For shoes, Lin Heng chose a pair of brown woolen large-toe shoes and a pair of ordinary cotton shoes.

His set costs one hundred and two yuan, which is not very expensive. After all, they are all cotton clothes, so they are not much more expensive.

Finally, I bought a pair of cotton shoes for my parents and Caiyun, as well as all the things I had brought with me at home.

"It's too expensive. I still like the place you took me to for the first time." Xiulan shook her head and said as she walked out of the mall.

"As long as you are happy, enjoy it more and don't think too much." Lin Heng pulled her and said with a smile.

This is the most upscale place in Taibai City, so the clothes are naturally not cheap.

But he was actually not very satisfied. If the transportation was not inconvenient now, he would really like to take them to Ancheng to buy clothes.

"Of course I'm happy, I just feel bad about the money." Xiulan said softly. She was so happy that the person she loved the most bought her clothes.

After handing the things to Wang Zhou to look at, Lin Heng took their mother and daughter to the central hospital for a full-body examination.

"It's not necessary, Xiaoxia and I are both fine." Xiulan pursed her lips and said.

Lin Heng shook his head and was very determined about this: "That's not possible. We will know after a check-up. I will take you and your parents for check-ups every year in the future."

Rural people generally have this mentality. They are worried about money and dare not go to the hospital. But sometimes it is easy to turn a minor illness into a serious one.

When Lin Heng explained these principles to Xiulan, she understood and went to the hospital with Lin Heng.

After a check-up at the Central Hospital, the results were that all three of them were healthy, but Xiulan's blood sugar was slightly low.

Xiaoxia was also given oral polio vaccine, which can very effectively prevent the occurrence of polio.

After leaving the hospital, Xiaoxia was still lying in Lin Heng's arms, with red eyes and a toffee in her mouth.

"Bad~" Xiaoxia said angrily, pointing in the direction of the hospital.

She was crying in pain just after a blood test was taken.

"Well, they are bad~" Lin Heng agreed with a smile. She hadn't heard Xiaoxia cry so loudly for a long time, which was really funny.

Xiulan looked at her watch and said, "What else are you going to do next? It'll be one o'clock soon."

Lin Heng thought for a moment and said, "Let's have a meal first, then buy something in the afternoon and then leave."

They met Wang Zhou and the four of them ate cold skin and vegetable steamed buns together.

After dinner, I went to find Li Chengguo in the afternoon. When he saw Lin Heng, he quickly greeted with a smile: "Boss Lin, why did you come down here in person?"

"Take my wife and daughter to buy some things and go to the hospital for a check-up. Let's talk about something by the way." Lin Heng said casually.

"You two are a perfect match. The girl is also pretty. Come and sit in the room quickly." Li Chengguo said with a smile. He was still a little surprised by Xiulan's appearance.

Xiulan simply put on eyebrows and lipstick, but her regular facial features, face shape, and fair skin made her instantly stand out from 90% of women.

"No need, I'll leave as soon as I finish talking."

Lin Heng shook his head and asked, "Have you bought my fireplace?"

"I bought it. Come with me." Li Chengguo led the three of them into the warehouse.

Several beautiful black fireplaces are placed here, with different shapes.

"You said you wanted a rectangular one, I'm going to pull this one up for you." Li Chengguo pointed to one of them and said.

Lin Heng lifted it up. The black fireplace must weigh at least one hundred and fifty kilograms, plus the chimney weighs another two to three hundred kilograms.

What satisfied him most about this fireplace was that he could watch the fire. The lid was inlaid with high-temperature-resistant crystal. After closing the lid, he could still watch the fire through the crystal.

In fact, many people build their own fireplaces with bricks. He chose to buy one to watch the fire and one to prevent smoke from leaving the room.

The kind of fireplace you built yourself will have smoke coming out, but this kind is made of steel and is fully enclosed, so there is no such problem.

"How much does it cost?" Lin Heng asked. He was still satisfied with the stuff.

Li Guocheng said: "One hundred yuan, this high-temperature resistant crystal is worth money, otherwise you can take this stove for 60 yuan. I really haven't made a penny on this stove that we have cooperated with for a long time."

Lin Heng was quite satisfied with the price, and then took out the list of goods and handed it to him: "Our village has electricity, and we need to buy some wire switches and light bulbs. You can get a batch for me according to the list and bring it up tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"That's no problem. Leave it to me and deliver it to you tomorrow." Li Chengguo grinned and agreed.

After everything was done here, Lin Heng chatted for a few words and then went home.

He didn't go to Ge Qingshan. He took his wife and children with him today. Let's wait until next time. Mainly, there is nothing to teach. Bows and arrows require a lot of practice, and there are not many skills.

When a few people returned to Hongfeng Village, the sky was so dark that they could barely see their fingers clearly.

I quickly lit a fire when I got home, it was so cold that I almost froze to death.

Early the next morning, Lin Heng gave them the things he brought with him.

"You have clothes, but you don't have shoes." Lin Heng handed the cotton shoes to his parents and sister.

"Thank you, second brother!" Caiyun grinned.

Father Lin and Mother Lin were also very happy. They really needed a pair of good cotton shoes.

"Thank you, son~" Father Lin was not polite either.

Mother Lin put it on her feet and tried it on, the expression on her face was full of love.

"As long as you like it." Lin Heng grinned. He knew that his parents were this kind of people. They didn't want to talk about anything they lacked, and they didn't want to waste money.

Father Lin looked at him and said, "The Hongfeng Mountain side is expected to be completed tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Have you figured out what to do next?"

Lin Heng nodded: "I have thought about it all, and I will make arrangements when the time comes."

"Just think about it. You can't have no work. I'll give you a lot of money a day."

Lin Heng nodded and chatted for a few more words. Mother Lin was going to make vermicelli tomorrow and asked everyone to help.

At noon, Lin Heng couldn't wait to drive the carriage to the town. He wanted to take his fireplace home and install it quickly. There was no fireplace in the bedroom and it was too cold at night.
