Return to the small mountain village in 1983

Chapter 196 How much is divided

Back inside, Xiulan was cooking in the kitchen.

She tied her hair up with a white jade hairpin, revealing her slender, snow-white neck. It formed a strong contrast with the tight cotton-padded jacket she wore, making people wonder what kind of thrilling thing was hidden in her thick cotton-padded jacket.

Xiulan saw Lin Heng leaning at the door and looking at her in a daze, and smiled: "Did you tell dad and the others?"

Lin Heng smiled and nodded: "As I said, you can get down a little more. Third father and Lin Hai will be here soon."

Only then did Lin Heng remember one thing and apologized quickly: "Honey, I seem to have forgotten to wash the dishes. I'm sorry."

I was busy nibbling on my wife last night, and I said I would put the bowl there and wash it in the morning, but I forgot about it.

Xiulan couldn't help but smile: "You idiot, there's nothing to apologize for. It's just a few bowls and I just washed them."

But what Lin Heng said made her feel very comfortable.

Lin Heng also grinned. It's a good thing that Xiulan never scolded herself for such things. Unlike some women in the village, men would curse and make a fuss whenever they forgot to do something.

And if you forget to do it, just keep silent.

Lin Heng was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth as he enjoyed his wife's care. Xiulan's soft little hands were so comfortable massaging his face.

Not only did this guy eat the lipstick, he kissed her until she couldn't breathe and her tongue almost cramped.

"If you are so in love that you don't take care, then you can apply it on me again." Lin Heng said with a smile.

Lin Heng smiled and rinsed the remaining clothes with his wife, hung them on poles to dry, and then went into the house together.

"Third father, you are here. Come into the house quickly."

The main stains he got on the mountain were mud and the odor of his own sweat. They were not stubborn stains, and they would be clean after washing them twice.

"Then I'll wipe it for you."

Lin Heng raised his head and glanced at his wife, and said with a smile: "It only took a few handfuls to wash. You see, my washing is okay."

Xiulan boiled the water and ran to the backyard. She felt a little distressed when she saw Lin Heng washing clothes there without adding any hot water: "Why don't you heat the water when it's so cold?"

Lin Heng looked at her and said, "Then I'll wash the clothes and sheets I changed yesterday."

He never thought that he could use his wife as a slave just because he made some money. Hunting in the mountains is dangerous and tiring, but many chores in the house are also annoying and tiring.

Lin Heng looked at her and smiled: "You don't have to do anything, you won't be able to do it if you're frozen."

After a while, Xiulan gasped and stared at him: "Didn't you say apply lipstick?"

"Have wiped it, remember to wipe it next time."

Lin Heng said with a smile and ran to the backyard to wash clothes.

Xiulan pouted and said, "I'm not that fragile. Just finish it quickly and go inside to warm yourself by the fire."

Xiulan blinked, stood up, took the face cream Lin Heng bought for her, rubbed it on her hands, and carefully touched Lin Heng's face and hands.

When Xiulan heard this, her face turned red immediately, she poked his head and said, "I keep thinking of these bad ideas every day~"

What he hates most is those men who think they have made a little money and treat their wives and children like slaves, as if he is the only one paying for the whole family.

"What are you doing again? Don't put on too much lipstick." Xiulan looked at him helplessly.

Lin Heng looked at her eagerly, smiling and saying nothing.

"Okay, then I'll get it for you." Xiulan nodded innocently, and when she was about to get up, Lin Heng grabbed her and sat on his lap.

Xiulan hesitated for a while, then leaned down to apply lipstick on him.

Lin Heng took her hand and said with a smile: "I mean just put a little on your mouth."

The clothes soaked in the backyard belong to Lin Heng, as well as the sheets and underwear that Xiulan changed in the morning.

Xiulan walked over, took a look, and praised: "It's cleaner than what I wash."

"It's just a casual thing. I feel bad for making your little hands rough."

Some firewood was added to the fireplace, and the two held their hands together to warm them.

Lin Heng said with a smile.

"Did you not touch the facial cream?" Xiulan looked at him and asked.

Xiulan poked his head and hummed: "I won't be fooled again."

Xiulan shook her head and said, "No, I'll take a shower at noon. You can rest for a while. We have to go up the mountain soon."

Although the water was cold, Lin Heng was too lazy to mix it with boiling water. He rubbed it with his hands and then brushed it again and it was very clean.

Lin Heng nodded obediently: "I forgot."

Opening the door, his father, third father Lin Xutao, and cousin Lin Hai were all standing outside.

When Lin Heng heard a knock on the door outside, he went out to open the door. Before going out, he put the ginseng in the cupboard.

"Well."

"Okay." Lin Heng nodded, then looked at his wife's plump and red lips and said, "Honey, your lips are so shiny. Please put some lipstick on me."

While she was talking, she started to help Lin Heng rinse the two clothes he had washed.

She took the lipstick and applied it on herself, then applied lipstick on Lin Heng, and got up to wake her daughter up.

After finishing it, Xiulan squeezed his hand and warned him.

Lin Xutao looked at the beautiful front yard and asked enviously: "I'm afraid your gains in the mountains this time are not small. You need so many people to help."

Lin Heng's yard has been renovated and he hasn't been in yet. Now that he sees it, he is really envious. This bluestone floor tile is comfortable to step on, and it is countless times better than the mud.

Lin Heng replied with a smile: "There is quite a lot of meat, and I even shot a forest musk deer."

He would definitely not say anything about ginseng. Xiulan only needed to know about it.

Lin Xutao couldn't help being shocked when he heard this: "That's awesome. Your hunting skills are really impressive."

Lin Hai's eyes widened even more: "Damn it, Brother Lin, how come you can always hit good things?"

A thousand and a half Lin Shek is no problem. Although some people in the village have beaten him, they don't have the same luck as Lin Heng.

I just kept two of them by myself, but I actually shot another one on the mountain.

"I'm really lucky this year." Lin Heng grinned.

Only Xiulan knew that Xiong Ba took a lot of credit for this. The most difficult thing about hunting is finding the prey, followed by being able to hit it accurately.

Xiongba is very good at finding prey, Lin Heng's archery is fast and accurate, and he can indeed gain much more than the average person by combining his two swords.

"Stop talking, let's eat quickly and then we'll set off." Lin's father waved his hand.

Lin Heng nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll go down there, Xiu'an is dressing Xiaoxia."

Lin Hengjin went to the kitchen to meet him. His father and third father were looking at Lin Heng's greenhouse vegetables in the yard. They couldn't help but marvel at the lush vegetables inside.

Many vegetables in this winter are wilted and only those that are cold and frost-resistant can still grow. But under Lin Heng’s plastic film, there are many vegetables from other seasons that grow well.

While eating, Lin Xutao couldn't help but ask: "Lin Heng, how did you get the film vegetables in your yard? They grow very well."

Father Lin was also shocked. Lin Heng, who never thought he knew how to grow crops, actually made vegetables so beautiful.

Lin Heng smiled slightly and said: "This is simple. I will explain it to you slowly when we go up the mountain later."

The three of them nodded curiously.

The four of them quickly ate pickled cabbage noodles. After eating, Lin's father took Lin Xutao and Lin Hai to set off first. Lin Heng took the corn paste to the back mountain and fed the red dates, and then led it into the mountain together.

"Are you coming back at night?" Xiulan asked while picking up eggs with Xiaoxia.

Lin Heng nodded: "I will definitely come back, but it may be midnight. You can rest first."

The shelter on the mountain could not accommodate so many people, so they had to come back overnight. "Okay, I'll wait for you to come back." Xiulan nodded.

Lin Heng asked Xiulan to take Xiaoxia away first, and then he left on horseback. Xiongba stayed at home. He didn't need to take him with him since he wasn't going to hunt in the mountains this time.

After riding the horse to Hongfeng Mountain, Lin Heng changed his mind to holding it and continued to move forward. Within a few minutes of walking, he caught up with Lin and his father.

Lin Heng hurried on while telling them some key points of greenhouse cultivation.

The four of us all knew we had to go back and forth today, so we walked very quickly. We arrived at Sanchagou at around one o'clock at noon, and saw the smoke from the camp at two o'clock.

We arrived at the campground at half past two.

"Dad, Third Dad, you are here."

Lin Yue was the first to run out to greet him.

Everyone got to know each other, and Lin Hengshun introduced everyone to Uncle Gao.

All three of them were dumbfounded when they saw the goods placed outside the camp.

Lin Xuan's breath was so frightened that he held his breath: "Is this your thing?"

Father Lin opened his mouth wide: "The meat alone is seven to eight hundred kilograms, right?"

"Oh my god, this is a bit too much." Lin Hai was also shocked, there were too many good things.

His envious eyes were about to turn into reality.

"Yes, please help move." Lin Heng grinned.

Including yams and other medicinal materials, the amount here is almost 1,300 kilograms.

Three hundred kilograms of pork was placed on Hong Zao's back. Lin Heng and the other seven people each had to carry more than a hundred kilograms of stuff.

After everything was done, Lin Heng carried things on his back and led the horse at the front, with the others following behind.

The sun has not been very bright these two days, the snow on the trees has melted, and there is still a lot of snow in the woods.

The direction of Taibai Mountain is even more covered in snow, like a frozen wonderland in a novel.

The wind in the valley never stopped, but everyone was sweating all over except their faces were a little cold.

The road was not easy to walk, and everyone was walking very slowly as they were carrying so many things on their backs.

It was already dusk before we reached Hongfeng Mountain. The winter evening was dark, and we could only see a red dot slowly falling from the top of the mountain in the west.

It is far from the magnificent scenery of summer and autumn where half the sky is red.

"Fortunately, we finally got through the most difficult part of the road before dark." Father Lin said with emotion.

Lin Xutao also nodded: "Yes, the rest of the road will be much smoother."

Lin Heng said nothing. He held Hong Zao and looked at the sky. After dark, there were no stars or moon.

Today is New Year's Day, but there are no celebrations in the village.

By the time we got back to the house, it was already half past nine in the evening.

But luckily the power is on now, so it doesn’t matter if it’s after nine o’clock, we can still eat and drink.

Xiulan Caiyun, Lin's mother, Liu Juan and others were all at Lin Heng's house. They knew someone was coming back, so they had already cut the vegetables and were waiting. When Lin Heng and others came back, they started cooking.

A lot of things were placed in the main room, and everyone looked at them in a daze.

Lin Heng didn't hesitate and said with a smile: "Take what you have assigned."

As he said that, he assigned them directly.

The yams were dug by his eldest brother alone, and they naturally belonged to his eldest brother alone.

The two wild boars that Lin Heng and Uncle Gao initially shot added up to 200 kilograms, and now they still had 120 kilograms of bacon left.

Because his eldest brother helped take care of him for half a month and gave him twenty kilograms, and Lin Heng and Uncle Gao each received fifty kilograms.

Then there was the Lin Heng who shot the forest musk deer. There were still eight kilograms of meat left and the skin had been dried in the sun. It naturally belonged to him alone.

Then there are pig badgers, four in total, Lin Heng and Uncle Gao each have one, and his uncle Li Baiquan has two.

Finally, there was the female wild boar and her seven wild boar cubs.

The big sow boar was brought down by Uncle Gao alone, so it should belong to him.

There are three wild boar cubs, Lin Heng, and one for each of Uncle Gao and Li Bai.

There are also birds, which belong to whoever kills them.

What you eat is not counted, only what you bring back is counted.

Lin Heng brought back three golden roosters, two bamboo roosters and a grouse.

Li Baiquan brought back six bamboo roosters, one golden rooster and one grouse.

Uncle Gao only brought back two golden roosters. In fact, he shot the most, but they were stewed and eaten on the mountain.

After they were divided, everyone looked at Uncle Gao and Lin Heng with envy.

Uncle Gao caught the most prey, and Lin Heng's one forest musk deer exceeded everyone's income.

And they didn’t know that Lin Heng had dug up a century-old ginseng, otherwise even Uncle Gao would be shocked.

Mother Lin came out of the kitchen and said, "You guys have divided it up, then you can eat. The food is ready."

"Then let's eat." Lin Heng said with a smile.

Put things aside, wipe the table and eat.

"Eat, eat, I'm so hungry." Father Lin went directly to the kitchen to serve food.

A table of sumptuous dishes was served, and everyone began to eat happily.

After drinking some wine, everyone's warm and cheerful voices came out of the house and echoed in the empty village.

After finishing the meal, Lin Heng took two pieces of meat and handed them to his third father and Lin Hai. He smiled and said, "Thank you, third father, Lin Hai, for helping to move the things. You can take this meat back and try it."

"What are you doing? Take it back quickly." Lin Xutao shook his head and refused.

Father Lin and Mother Lin also tried hard to persuade him, but finally he reluctantly agreed and took a ten-pound piece of meat back.

After sending them away, Lin Heng and his father helped his eldest brother move the yams home.

When he came back, he arranged a room for Uncle Gao to sleep in and boiled bath water for him.

After making arrangements for Uncle Gao, Lin Hengcai and Xiulan Xiaoxia returned to the bedroom.

Today he put Xiaoxia to sleep first, and then took a bath and rested.

Lying on the bed, Lin Heng looked at his wife and said, "Uncle Gao may stay at our house for a few days."

Xiulan nodded and agreed: "Then let's stay. It's not like we have no money or food now. It's okay to have one more person to eat."

"That's good." Lin Heng grinned, took her into his arms and kissed her.

"You shouldn't go hunting in the mountains again today, right?" Xiulan snuggled into his arms and asked softly.

Lin Heng looked at her and said with a smile: "Probably not. Even if I want to go, I won't be able to leave you."

"That's good." Xiulan nodded, saying that it was a little goodbye and a newlywed. She missed Lin Heng very much after he left for a few days, but she didn't want him to go out again.

Then the two had a brief exchange. Lin Heng fed Xiulan some white rabbit toffee, and Xiulan fed Lin Heng his favorite white steamed buns.

Then they snuggled together and fell into a wonderful and happy dreamland.
