Return to the small mountain village in 1983

Chapter 49 Building a new house【Please follow up】

On the morning of the eighth day of the lunar month, the Lin family all got up at a little after five o'clock. The reason was that today was the day to break ground for the new house.

While Lin Heng and others were washing their faces, voices suddenly came from outside the door.

"Who came so early?" Lin Heng was confused.

Father Lin walked in and opened the door, and his uncle Li Baiquan and third father Lin Xutao appeared at the door.

"Congratulations, you will make a lot of money by building a new house. Everything goes well and everything goes well!" My uncle held his hands and blessed with a smile.

The third father, Lin Xutao, also held his hands and blessed each other: "You are building a new house. This brings you great luck. May the people and the land be prosperous!"

"Hahaha, prosperous, everyone is prosperous, hurry up and sit in the house!" Father Lin laughed and quickly led people into the house.

There are certain things to do in rural areas. For example, today is a good day to build a house. You must not say anything that may cause trouble, otherwise you will be slapped in the face.

"What is this? Pig badger skin?"

As soon as he entered the yard, his uncle Li Baiquan saw the pig and badger skin hanging there.

With a shocked look on his face, he turned to look at Lin Heng: "Did you hit the badger?"

Lin Heng chuckled: "I got it the evening before yesterday. It weighs 24 pounds. Ask my dad for details."

He was too lazy to brag.

"Lin Heng's hunting skills are amazing. Second brother, tell us quickly." Third father Lin Xutao's eyes changed when he looked at Lin Heng.

Being able to hunt rabbits, grouse, etc. is actually not particularly impressive. Many people in the village can hunt them, but larger prey such as pigs and badgers must be truly capable.

Because these things are so cautious, they can often detect you thirty or forty meters away, turn around and run away.

"You drink water first, and I will tell you slowly."

Father Lin poured a glass of water for the two of them and told the story as if it was his own personal experience.

"Lin Heng, originally I was worried about how you and Xiulan would live together in the future.

Now, with your hunting skills, you may have a better life than anyone else. "The third father gave Lin Heng a thumbs up.

Uncle Li Baiquan pulled Lin Heng: "When we have time, we will go hunting together and take your Xiongba with us."

"No problem, no problem." Lin Heng responded one by one.

He turned around and picked up the pig badger skin and put it in the house. He didn't want to ask anyone again when he came in.

"Come on, let's fix the foundation line first and adjust the level."

After carpenter Liang Gui washed his face, he called everyone to go to the village base.

There are a lot of wooden stakes nailed here at the base of the village. The level is already done, but it just started raining, so one needs to be confirmed again.

Lin Heng also took lime and spread the thread again, and also spread the thread on the fish pond he designed.

"You guys are working fast, you have already started working!" A rough voice came from the distance.

"Quan Wazi, you run fast." Followed by a richer voice.

Lin Heng and others looked up and saw three middle-aged men in their forties and almost fifty. They were none other than his uncle, second uncle, and third uncle.

When my sister's house is being built, they will definitely come.

"Eldest brother, second brother, and third brother, you are here soon. Come into the house to eat!" Father Lin came over with a smile and gave each of them a large Qianmen cigarette.

After the others had finished their polite greetings, Lin Heng also said hello with a smile: "Uncle, second uncle, third uncle."

Uncle Lin Heng had a mustache and long hair. He looked very serious. He looked at Lin Heng and snorted: "It's a good thing you are still working, otherwise I would have to teach you a lesson today." My uncle couldn't stand Lin Heng's idleness the most. He had beaten Lin Heng before.

"Live your life well at home and don't make such messes all the time." The second uncle also warned sternly. His second uncle's skin was very fair and he looked very young.

The third uncle is a little shorter than [-] meters, and he is honest and honest. He is often bullied. When he saw Lin Heng, he smiled and said, "When are you going to play at my place?"

Lin Heng answered the words of his three uncles one by one. Among his three uncles, only his second uncle was married, and his eldest uncle and third uncle were both single.

The uncle likes to drink and has a habit of beating others, which is the key reason why he failed to marry a wife. The third uncle, on the other hand, was a bit dull because he was too honest, and no woman liked him.

The second uncle was the shrewdest among them and the most business-minded. He asked his wife to open a bun shop on the edge of the city, making him a wealthy man in the village.

However, the three of them didn't say anything to Lin Heng's family. They gave them food and drinks, and they would definitely come to help if anything happened.

After entering the house and drinking water, Lin's father began to defend Lin Heng, saying that he had corrected a lot and had recently been hunting for the family and so on.

"Hunting?" Lin Heng's uncle Lu Honghai looked at Lin Heng, a little disbelieving, then turned to look at the pig badger skin, and went to the kitchen to look at the smoked pig badger meat.

"Did you really do it?" The uncle didn't believe it. He actually had a shotgun and often hunted.

"Come on, Lin Heng, let me see your accuracy." Second uncle Lu Hongan took a wooden pillar and placed it in the yard.

"All right!"

Lin Heng was helpless and went to the bedroom to take out a bow and arrow. He was only eight or nine meters away. After taking a slight aim, an arrow flew out and hit the wooden pillar with a bang.

"It's so amazing. I didn't expect you to really learn this skill." The second uncle said in shock, giving Lin Heng a thumbs up.

"I don't know. I was just playing for fun, but I found out that I am very talented." Lin Heng chuckled and made up a lie.

The uncle glanced at Lin Heng twice, patted him on the shoulder and said, "If you have the ability, just stay at home. In the fall, I will take you to the mountains to hunt wild boars."

Although he had a serious expression on his face, his attitude had obviously changed because of Lin Heng's archery skills. People with skills were welcome wherever they went.

By this time, it was already half past six, and other people from the invited village were arriving one after another.

Mother Lin also prepared a large pot of pickled cabbage noodles and shouted, "Everyone is here for breakfast."

There were so many people today that the big pot with a diameter of [-] meters at home contained more than half of the pot of noodles, but it was quickly divided among everyone.

Standing in the yard with noodles in hand, a group of middle-aged men started chatting, telling all kinds of dirty jokes, making dirty jokes, and laughing one after another.

Lin Heng was indifferent to all this. He sat in the corner and ate the noodles. The pickled cabbage noodles with garlic, patchouli leaves and spicy peppers were really delicious.

Especially the flavor of the Patchouli leaves makes this bowl of noodles extraordinary.

After breakfast, everyone took action. Today, Gao Gao had to do two things, first dig the foundation and then erect the gate.

Everyone who came brought their own tools. After everyone came on stage, Father Lin lit a bunch of firecrackers.

"congratulations!"

"Get rich and have great luck!"

The sound of firecrackers was accompanied by everyone's blessings, and the sound suddenly became lively.

Setting off firecrackers in rural areas not only drives away evil spirits and tells them that someone lives here, but also prays for peace and good luck, which represents a beautiful meaning.

After finishing it, Father Lin began to assign today's work:

"We have a total of eighteen people today, eight of us dig the foundation, and the other ten people go to the back mountain to move stones together, and strive to complete the foundation in the morning."

After saying that, the people were divided and each person was given a large Qianmen cigarette.
