Return to the small mountain village in 1983

Chapter 95 Introducing a Wife to My Cousin
  "Brother Tang, you are so cruel, you took away all the fungi."

After walking far away, Lin Hai couldn't help but said.

Lin Heng looked back at him and said with a smile, "Do you like Jin Yan very much?"

Lin Heng suddenly became embarrassed: "One thing is that she is so beautiful. Who wouldn't like her? Cousin, didn't you also propose marriage back then?"

"So, you see, it's been two or three years, and she's not married yet. She's obviously waiting for a price. Do you think you have hope?" Lin Heng asked with a smile.

Lin Hai was stunned: "She just said that she didn't find anyone she liked."

"Even if I wait for the price, I still want to give it a try. Maybe I can impress her." Lin Hai added that he and Lin Heng were the same age and only a few months younger, and they had been worried about getting a wife.

"Hey, give up on this woman and I'll introduce you to a better one." Lin Heng said with a smile. Lin Hai and he had been playing together since childhood. He really didn't want Lin Hai to fall into an unhappy marriage in the future.

Although Lin Hai failed to succeed in his previous life and ended up marrying a woman from another village, who knows if he will succeed in this life because of his butterfly effect.

So it’s better to dissuade them in time.

"Better? Who is it?" Lin Hai's eyes widened. There were not many beautiful people in the village. How could there be someone better?
  Lin Heng turned to look at him and said with a smile: "Isn't it that Tian Mei, whom Murakami teaches, is not married yet? If you go after her, wouldn't you be better than Jin Yan?"

"Ah, that's the youngest daughter of the village party secretary, and people look down on me." Lin Hai shook his head when he heard that it was this person.

"Don't deny yourself in a hurry. You think it's impossible, so why do you have the courage to pursue it?" Lin Heng was speechless.

Lin Hai was a typical person with low self-esteem. He didn't even try to overrule him first. He felt that the other person was unattainable before even making contact and he didn't dare to get close.

It is often like this that beautiful beauties will be chased away by those bold gangsters, and ultimately waste their lives.

In his previous life, he remembered that Tian Mei was deceived by a second-rate boy from the next village like this, and her father almost pissed her off to death.

"Forget it, you are denying yourself. Even if I am Zhuge Liang, there is nothing I can do." Lin Heng shook his head and didn't want to say anything.

Lin Hai is not bad looking, but he is too introverted and his family background is average, so he has never found a wife.

"Cousin, you mean you have a way to help me catch up with Tian Mei?" The fire in Lin Hai's heart was lit.

Tian Mei is the flower of the high mountains in the hearts of men in many villages. She is quiet, elegant, educated and knowledgeable, so many people don't even have the courage to strike up a conversation, let alone think about it.

Lin Heng had tried it before meeting Xiulan in his previous life, but was rejected. It was not until a gangster from the village next to her kidnapped her that he later learned the reason from the gangster.

Lin Heng sighed, shook his head and said, "I don't want to say anything anymore. You think you can't do it anymore, so what else can I say?"

Shaking his head, he walked forward.

Lin Hai hurriedly caught up and took Lin Heng's arm: "Cousin, my good cousin, I kneel down for you. Teach me. As long as I can catch up, you will be my reborn parent. From now on, I will only You are from."

After all, they were childhood playmates, and Lin Hai was so shameless that he knelt down as he spoke. If he really wanted to find a good wife, he would have to kowtow a few times to his cousin, let alone kneel down.

"You are so shameless. Stop kneeling down and let my dad beat me to death." Lin Heng kicked him, and Lin Hai quickly jumped away.

"Then did you agree, cousin?" Lin Hai said with a smile.

Lin Heng glanced at him: "Of course, if I don't help you, who will I help?"

Glancing at Lin Hai, Lin Heng said: "First of all, you have to shave yourself well and dress up neatly.

Secondly, you have to study history, especially the history of the Qin and Han Dynasties. Tian Mei likes these histories the most.

But you have one thing that has great potential, that is, Tian Mei also likes chess, but she is a bad chess player. You have to teach her a lesson and leave a deep impression on her. "

Lin Hai was still thinking about how his cousin knew this, but when he heard the last sentence, he suddenly said: "Ah, teach her a lesson? Wouldn't this make her angry?"

Lin Heng shook his head, patted his shoulder and sighed: "You are still too young. If you want a woman to fall in love with you, you must first leave a deep impression. Killing her in chess is nothing.

And Tian Mei has the kind of character that refuses to admit defeat. If you kill her and throw away her armor, it will arouse her competitive spirit and come to you to continue playing chess. Won't she have the opportunity to get to know and get familiar with her over and over again? "

"Holy shit, philosophy, no wonder you, cousin, were able to catch up with Sister-in-law Xiulan. With your methods, I just wish I didn't seek advice from you earlier."

Lin Hai was shocked. It turned out that it was okay to chase girls like this. The door to a new world was opened.

"It's nothing." Lin Heng shook his head, "But you have to remember, just kill her miserably in the first few times, then you have to hang her up later, give her some hope, but make sure she can't win.

Then you should read history carefully during this period. I have a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms there. Take it and read it, and then ask her for advice on how to help Liu Bei restore the Han Dynasty. You must be a firm supporter of the Han Dynasty. "

Lin Hai was already astonished. He felt that it was no wonder that his cousin could get rich. He always followed the same rules when chasing women.

"Then." Seeing that Lin Heng stopped talking, Lin Hai felt itchy in his heart and couldn't wait to hear the next words.

"Then what the hell, you have to do these things first before talking about it. Especially for studying, it doesn't matter if you only have a primary school education, but you have to study hard, not just history, but also read more other books. Be a useful person and let yourself Get better or it’s all for nothing.”

Lin Heng shook his head. He felt that Lin Hai's IQ would not be low if he could play chess by himself. If he changed his mind, he would have a promising future.

He will also need help in his future breeding and business. Those who know the basics of things that he has played with since childhood are better than strangers.

"Don't worry, cousin, I will definitely do as you say." Lin Hai assured, patting his chest.

But he suddenly hesitated again: "Cousin, if your village party secretary finds out, will he peel off my skin?"

"You are afraid of wolves before you and tigers behind you, so don't even think about women." Lin Heng rolled his eyes.

Tian Dongfu, secretary of the village party committee, is a very enlightened person who advocates free love and free marriage, otherwise his daughter would not have been abducted by a gangster in his previous life.

But Lin Heng didn't want to tell Lin Hai that if he didn't even have this determination, then he shouldn't harm others.

Lin Hai thought for a while and nodded fiercely: "I know, cousin, I will work hard."

Lin Heng waved his hand and looked around. He was a little surprised. Where is the Xiulan man?

She shouldn't, she will definitely wait for him unless something happens.

"Xiulan!!"

He called while searching.

"sister in law!"

Lin Hai also looked around in the woods to help.

"Wang Wang~"

Xiongba's voice came from the distance, and Lin Heng ran over quickly.

"I am here."

Xiulan responded.

"Are you injured?" Lin Heng noticed something was wrong from a distance. Xiulan took off her shoes while sitting on the stone.

"It's okay, just a minor injury, just a fall." Xiulan shook her head.

Lin Heng ran over to check, and found that all the skin on Xiulan's ankle was gone, and there was a cut as deep as a grain of rice.

"Are there any other injuries on your body?" Lin Heng held his wife's feet and asked softly.

"No, I just accidentally fell down and got scratched by a stone, and my clothes were a little torn." Xiulan shook her head and said.

Lin Heng was heartbroken and blew gently: "Does it still hurt?"

"Well, it hurts a little." Xiulan nodded lightly and added, "I'm afraid that my daughter will run around, so she hasn't moved here. Just go get me some cat ear powder and apply it on her."

Rural people, if they are injured in the wild, will apply the tan powder on the back of the cat's ears.

This is a strange plant that grows on stone skin and looks like a cat's ear.

The scientific name of this plant is Shiwei longifolia, and the spores on its back are used in rural areas, which have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects.

This thing is everywhere on the stone skin. There is no iodophor or alcohol. This is what everyone uses, and the effect is pretty good.

"You can't do this. There's still soil in the meat, so it needs to be rinsed off."

Lin Heng looked at his wife's ankle, which was still a little swollen, and asked, "Did you twist your foot?"

"Yes, it hurts a little, but it shouldn't be a big deal." Xiulan nodded and said.

"Then wait a minute, I'll call Lin Hai over to get something, and then I'll help you down the mountain." Lin Heng said, and turned to find his cousin Lin Hai.

"Cousin, there's no need to look for him, I'm here."

At this time, Lin Hai came running from a distance, looked at Xiulan and asked with concern: "Are you okay, sister-in-law?"

Xiulan shook her head and said it was okay.

"Hold Xiaoxia and help me hold the backpack." Lin Heng said, poured his things into Xiulan's backpack, then folded the two and handed them to Lin Hai.

"Okay." Lin Hai nodded and walked over to hug Xiaoxia.

"I want daddy." Xiaoxia shook her head and backed away, refusing to let her hug her.

"I want to hug mom. Your mom is injured and needs my support. Let your uncle hold you." Lin Heng glanced at her and said.

Xiaoxia looked at her mother's feet, then at her uncle Lin Heng, and reluctantly agreed: "Let's go then."

"I'll pull you." Lin Hai had no choice but to pull Xiaoxia away. Lin Heng supported Xiulan. After taking a step or two, Xiulan gasped in pain.

"I'll carry you, don't show off." Lin Heng glanced at Xiulan and directly carried her on his back.

Xiulan wanted to say no, but she was already hugged by Lin Heng's legs, so she could only grab Lin Heng's neck and walk back.

"Be careful, take a rest if you can't carry it anymore." Xiulan whispered in Lin Heng's ear.

"You only weigh a hundred pounds. How can I not be able to carry you? Don't worry."

Lin Heng said with a smile that it was a completely different feeling to carry his wife on his back, both mentally and physically.

"How many times have I carried you on my back?" Lin Heng asked while feeling his wife's soft body.

Xiulan hugged Lin Heng's neck and thought for a while: "It seems to be the fourth or fifth time. Anyway, it was all before marriage."

Lin Heng thought about it, and it seemed to be true. He had not carried his wife on his back since he got married, and he had hugged her a few times.

The words of the two people made Lin Hai a little unbearable. He thought that he must take Tian Mei down, and then he would also carry his wife on his back to show off his affection.

When carrying his wife on his back and walking for a while, Lin Heng would weigh her and carry her up a little to avoid her feet touching the ground.

It is also inevitable to feel the amazing elasticity of the back, which is completely different from the usual feeling.

Xiulan didn't say anything, but lightly bit Lin Heng's ear. Her cheeks felt a little hot, thinking he did it on purpose.

But her cousin Lin Hai was nearby, so it was difficult for her to speak.

The place where mushrooms were collected was near the house. Even with Xiulan on his back, it took Lin Heng less than half an hour to get home.

"Cousin, sister-in-law, I'm going back first. If you have time, go to my house to play."

After sending Xiaoxia home and putting the basket down, Lin Hai couldn't wait to run away.

"Wife, please pay attention." Lin Heng said and carefully placed Xiulan on the chair.

After Xiulan sat down, she rolled her eyes at Lin Heng and said, "Isn't it very comfortable?"

Lin Heng chuckled: "Don't you want me to carry you?"

Xiulan glared at him: "Stop being such a mouthful and being so obedient when you get an advantage. Go get some water."

"Okay." Lin Heng went to pick up some clean water and brought a small handkerchief over to wash the dirt from Xiulan's wound.

"You were talking about me this morning, but you were also injured. Be careful next time."

Lin Heng looked at his wife's sore mouth and gasped, and said sarcastically with a smile.

Xiulan pursed her lips: "You can't blame me, the road is too slippery."

After using water to wash away the mud from the wound, Lin Heng dipped a handkerchief in some white wine and dripped it on to disinfect it.

"It hurts!"

Xiulan cried out in pain and couldn't help but lift her foot, almost reaching Lin Heng's mouth.

Lin Heng looked at her: "...Although I like it, I'm not so perverted that I want to eat it."

"Husband, I'm sorry, it hurts a little." Xiulan said sheepishly.

"If it doesn't hurt, it will fester by then." Lin Heng shook his head and dropped a little wine again. This time he caught it and kept his feet from moving.

"Okay, let's wait for it to dry and scab. You can't cover it in the summer." Lin Heng said that although the ankle was swollen, it should be nothing serious.

"Well, you bring the honeysuckle over here and I'll wait while I pick it." Xiulan said.

Lin Heng went to get the basket and honeysuckle.

After taking another look at his daughter who was watching the little wild cat, Lin Heng took the wild grape vines to the backyard to plant.

You only need to dig a hole and bury the grape roots in it. You don’t need to worry about the rest. At most, you can water it in the afternoon when the sun is strong.

In less than a month, it will grow a large number of wild grapevines.

After planting the vines, Lin Heng returned to the front yard to handle the mushrooms.

Pour the wormy chanterelles in and feed them to the pig-badger cub. The cub looked at it and ran over to eat. He was no longer afraid of Lin Heng.

The same cub, but the wild cat cub is completely different. Now it is roaring when people approach it. Lin Heng wants to give it a hard fight.

After putting away the mushrooms, it was getting dark. Lin Heng looked at Xiulan and asked, "What's for dinner tonight? I'll do it."

"No need to do it. There are still a few white flour steamed buns left in the morning. Just pull out some spinach and make soup." Xiulan said.

"Okay." Lin Heng nodded and went to his parents' place to pull some spinach.

"I heard someone said that Xiulan sprained her ankle. Did you carry it back?" Mother Lin asked when she saw Lin Heng.

"Yes, but it's okay." Lin Heng nodded.

"Brother, do you want to take the sheep back?" Caiyun came back from herding the cattle and asked, holding the Lin Heng family's sheep by the hand.

"No, you can help me put it away tomorrow." Lin Heng said with a smile.

Caiyun guessed that this was the case, and shook her head speechlessly: "Then the New Year Sheep will give me some points."

"For sure, I won't treat you badly." Lin Heng nodded, took the spinach and ran away.

After cooking dinner for the family of three, Lin Heng gave his daughter a bath, changed into clean clothes and put her to bed.

Xiulan's foot injury has scabbed over, and the pain in her ankle has initially eased. She can barely walk without Lin Heng's help.

The next day, Lin Heng did not go to the mountain because Xiulan was injured. He went to Murakami to look for lime, and after asking around, he heard that Murakami Elementary School had recently painted the walls, using lime, and there might be some left.

Fengshucun Primary School is located on an empty hillside in the east of the village, far away from farmers' households.

Murakami Elementary School was not surrounded by walls like those in later generations. There was no money to do this. The ground was made of dirt, and only the house was made of red bricks, but it was not painted.

Lin Heng arrived early, and before the students from Murakami arrived, Tian Yan, the only teacher in the school, was in the office, lying on the table writing something.

She wore a white shirt on her upper body, black trousers on her lower body, and small leather shoes. Her hair was tied into two ponytails and fell from her shoulders to her chest. She has a quiet and elegant temperament, full of the unique energy and drive of intellectual young women in this era.

"Excuse me, what are you doing?" Seeing Lin Heng walking to the door, Tian Yan asked in less than standard Mandarin.

She naturally knew Lin Heng. In the past two days, she had heard her father talk about Lin Heng's recent deeds.

"Teacher Tian, ​​I heard that there is lime here at Murakami Elementary School. I want to buy some for home use." Lin Heng said without squinting.

"There's still half a bag left, I'll get it for you." Tian Yan glanced at Lin Heng, walked to the foot of the wall, picked up the remaining half bag of quicklime and handed it to Lin Heng.

"How much is it?" Lin Heng took it and asked.

"You can use it, it's free of charge." Tian Yan waved her hand.

Lin Heng took out a dollar and put it on the table: "It would be good to buy a pencil for the students in the village."

Tian Yan looked at the money and nodded: "Thank you very much."

"By the way, let me ask you a question. Didn't my sister Caiyun stop studying after the sixth grade? I want her to go to junior high school in the second half of the year. I don't know if she can continue to go to school. She has been out of school for more than a year."

Lin Heng looked at Tian Yan and asked.

Tian Yan looked at Lin Heng in surprise: "Is it your decision or your father's decision?"

"Yeah, I'll pay for her to study." Lin Heng nodded.

Tian Yan was a little surprised that Lin Heng actually paid attention to reading.

"There's no problem with this. Even if there is, I know the junior high school teacher in the town, so I just need to tell him about it.

But what I'm afraid of is that Caiyun has forgotten all her previous knowledge. So, let her take some time to come to my place and I will help her review it. "

Tian Yan is still very enthusiastic about this and is still a teacher with dreams and responsibilities.

"Okay, I'll tell her later." Lin Heng nodded and left with half a bag of lime.

On the way back, Lin Heng saw his cousin Lin Hai.

"What are you doing here now? Wait until the students get out of school at noon. Why don't they have time to care about you in class?"

Lin Heng looked at Lin Hai and said speechlessly.

"Brother, what will I say then?" Lin Hai had dark circles on his face and was so excited that he didn't even fall asleep last night.

Lin Heng shook his head and said, "Just go and say that you heard that she is very good at chess and want to play two games. That's it, and then do what I said today."

"Okay." Lin Hai nodded and turned back.

"Too young." Lin Heng shook his head and walked back with quicklime.
