Return to the small mountain village in 1983

Chapter 2 I Believe In You
  Chapter 2 I Believe In You

"Don't be afraid, my wife. I'm just trying to scare them. I won't actually do anything."

Lin Heng took his wife Chen Xiulan's hand and said with a smile.

Looking at his wife's beautiful and rosy cheeks without makeup, Lin Heng felt warm in his heart.

Even if she didn't do her job properly and even owed a lot of debt later, she never disliked herself and silently supported the family.

Such a woman who works silently and works hard without complaining doesn't know how many lifetimes she has been blessed with, but she didn't cherish it at all in her previous life.

When he thought of this, he wanted to give himself a few slaps. In this life, there was nothing he could do to make her suffer so hard.

You have to work hard to make her live like a woman.

When Lin Heng suddenly grabbed her hand in public, Chen Xiulan's cheeks suddenly turned red and she quickly broke away: "It's okay if you don't."

"Second brother, you are of some use today!"

After Lin Heng's father and his family left, his father Lin Xuan glanced at Lin Heng and said.

The second son was idle all day long, which made him angry to death, but today it was somewhat useful.

Lin Heng looked at the man in front of him who was in his forties and had a complexion like clay due to working all year round. He couldn't help but smile:
  "Dad, I have woken up and will live a good life and support my family in the future."

When his father Lin Xuan heard this, he sneered: "You have said this no less than five times. How long have you lasted more than three days?"

Lin Heng: "..."

Looking again, his mother Lu Hongmei also had a look of disgust, as if his words were no different from farts.

Lin Heng thought about it carefully and remembered that he had indeed often said this in his previous life, and each time he would run out to fool around in less than three days.

"This time it's true, you believe me." Lin Heng said solemnly.

"Go and see if the dog can stop eating shit?" His mother, Lu Hongmei, gave him a disgusted look.

"I believe you. Hurry up and eat. After dinner, let's go pick up mushrooms together. It rained heavily yesterday."

Chen Xiulan looked at Lin Heng and said, she felt that as long as she treated him well, her husband would definitely settle down and live with her.

Just like he promised when they first got married.

After saying that, she held her one-year-old daughter in her arms and went to the kitchen to scoop out rice for him.

Mother Lu Hongmei couldn't help but shake her head when she saw this scene. She didn't know how much virtue Lin Heng had accumulated in his previous life to marry such a hard-working woman.

If he had stayed in someone else's house, he would have locked him out and insulted him every day.

"Dad, who are you going to sell this ginseng to?"

At this time, the eldest brother asked, and Lin Heng saw his sister-in-law Liu Juan holding the baby and stabbing him twice in the back.

“Go to the town and sell it to the Liu family to collect medicinal materials, and you can probably sell them for [-] yuan.

Add in the little money you've saved over the years and build two more houses, and it's time for the two of you to separate. "

Father Lin Xuan glanced at his second son Lin Heng and eldest son Lin Yue.

In the past, we had to live together because we had no money. Now that our two sons have children, the house is a little crowded, so we have to build separate houses.

Upon hearing this, sister-in-law Liu Juan's eyes lit up, and elder brother Lin Yue was also a little excited. Of course he was happy to be able to live his own life separately.

"Then... Dad, which of us are you going to be with?" Sister-in-law Liu Juan asked again in a low voice.

Separating a family involves old-age care, which is not an easy matter.

Sister-in-law Liu Juan's triangular eyes reveal excessive shrewdness.

"Dad, look at who of us you want to provide for you in old age, just say it."

The eldest brother Lin Yue ignored his wife Liu Juan's warning eyes and spoke first, but he did not take over all the tasks of providing for the elderly. “Come with me, I’ll make money for you to take care of yourself in old age!” Lin Heng said, patting his chest.

"You want us to beg for food with you, right?" My father retorted, but he still felt a little comfortable.

Although he is not doing his job properly, the second son's heart is still good and not bad.

The eldest son is also very filial. In this regard, he is much better than his eldest brother Lin Xuping. When the two sons of his eldest brother separated, they both refused to take care of themselves in old age.

Lin Xuan felt very comfortable, as he had not raised two sons in vain.

"You don't need to support us in old age. Your mother and I are not yet forty years old and can live on our own. You just need to take care of yourselves after we separate."

Lin Xuan shook his head, and then said: "Today is the first and third day of April at the market, and I will sell ginseng then."

"Dad, four hundred is too cheap. I went to the city before, and the drugstore there charged at least eight hundred yuan for such a large wild ginseng."

Lin Heng said that the people who bought medicinal materials in the town bullied the farmers who didn't know the market and made a lot of money.

In this era, it is too difficult to go to the city. There is no cement road and the mountain road is [-] to [-] kilometers long. It takes two days to go back and forth.

The information was so limited that many things were randomly quoted by purchasers in the town. He only found out about it after he visited the city several times.

"Is it so expensive in the city?" Father Lin was surprised and a little disbelieving: "Did you listen to another drunk friend bragging about it?"

Lin Heng: "...Definitely not. I even went back to the city a few months ago to look at the ginseng that was sold in a large state-owned drug store.

There are many other things that are much more expensive than what we charge here. If you don’t believe it, just go and sell them yourself and you will know. "

"Or if you don't want to go to the city, I can negotiate the price with the people in the town."

Lin Heng said again.

"Then let's try to negotiate the price first. If it doesn't work, then go to the city and have a look." Father Lin thought for a while and said.

He had never been to the city and instinctively did not want to go there.

After the decision was made, Father Lin wrapped the ginseng in moss. Lin Heng also took a look at it. It was very complete, with all the roots and hairs present, and it was in good quality.

He shook his head. If this thing could be sold thirty years later, it would cost nearly a million at least.

"Have a meal!"

His wife Chen Xiulan brought him a large bowl of rice mixed with corn and potatoes. The dish was fried shredded potatoes with hot and sour seeds.

In this era, rice is almost always mixed with some potatoes, pumpkins, corns, etc. Only those from well-off families can eat pure rice.

Lin Heng went over and looked at the almost oilless meal with some emotion. After two bites, it was a bit hard to swallow.

There is no way, my mouth has been cultivated, and my memory is full of big fish and big meat.

However, he didn't say anything and just ate with his head buried in the food. He was just thinking about how to make his family live a good life.

What he was best at in his previous life was breeding, and the money he earned was from breeding and orchards.

He opened a modern farm at that time and was familiar with orchard management and breeding operations. This was also the best way.

Especially now in 1983, this era is the period of reform dividends. As long as you are not immersed in farming, you can make a lot of money by doing any business.

After all, on the cusp of the storm, even a pig can take off, and he also has the modern planting and breeding technology and experience from [-].

The only thing missing now is the first pot of gold. I have to find a way to get a start-up capital so that I can start breeding and open an orchard.

What worries him is that there is no way to make money quickly in his memory. The fastest way is to go up the mountain to collect goods and hunt.
