At the age of 60, Lin Heng unexpectedly returned to the 1980s, a time when transportation was slow, life was difficult, but thoughts were pure.
Living a second life, he had no lofty ambitions...
Chapter 258: A Prosperous and Prosperous
"It's still early, let's go to the slaughterhouse."
Lin Heng looked at his watch. It was only half past two, so he decided to go to the slaughterhouse again.
There are usually a lot of minced meat for sale in places like this, which is also suitable for feeding shrimps. The most suitable one is fish meal, but this thing needs deep processing and is difficult to buy in inland areas.
After getting a general understanding of the situation, Lin Heng took Xiulan back to the hospital to get the physical examination report.
The doctor looked at the medical examination form and said, "The man is fine, he is very healthy. The woman needs to eat more meat, or chicken blood or duck blood to supplement iron. There is no problem with anything else, it will not affect having a baby."
"I understand." Lin Heng nodded, took the list and walked out with Xiulan.
"Isn't it said that iron deficiency can cause dizziness and fatigue? I had some symptoms last year, but this year I don't have any of these symptoms at all."
Xiulan walked out holding Lin Heng's hand and said that many of her minor health ailments had been cured since her life had improved.
"It should be a mild anemia. Anyway, we have meat in every ton, so we can make up for it slowly."
Lin Heng thought for a while and said, people of this era generally lack various trace elements. Many rural people are anemic, and there are also many people suffering from goiter caused by iodine deficiency.
Iodine deficiency is a local disease. Without iodized salt, goiter is common in inland areas. Iron and potassium deficiency are generally caused by poor living standards. Meat generally contains more iron and potassium.
"Then I'll go back and eat more." Xiulan said with a smile.
"You should eat more. I'll give you a bear to replenish your body when I get back." Lin Heng squeezed her hand and said with a smile.
"I can eat bear, but you have to control my mother and stop her from cooking for me. Otherwise, I will become a fat man after giving birth to the baby."
Xiulan said weakly that her mother-in-law's excessive concern was also terrible.
"Don't worry, I will take care of you personally." Lin Heng assured. Although some of his mother's actions were well-intentioned, they were indeed a bit difficult.
Now that life is better, he estimates that his mother will stew meat for Xiulan every day, which is really unbearable.
"You said it, don't lie." Xiulan said with a wink.
"I said so." Lin Heng nodded, and then asked: "Do you want to buy anything?"
"No." Xiulan shook her head. Lin Heng had bought everything needed in the house, so there was nothing else to buy.
"Then let's go back."
Lin Heng nodded, got on the motorcycle and started.
"Well, let's go back." Xiulan got into the car and hugged Lin Heng's waist tightly.
Lin Heng started the car, bought fifty liters of diesel for the chainsaw, and hurried back.
After a while, the two of them left the city and came to the suburbs. The afternoon sun was not hot at all, and the cool mountain breeze made people feel comfortable.
"I saw some Chinese toon trees on the roadside. Do you want to break them?"
Suddenly Xiulan spoke.
"Then let's say goodbye. There won't be much to do when we get back anyway."
Lin Heng stopped the car and said that there were a lot of Chinese toon trees on the roadside outside the suburbs, but the ones here were green, not the red ones.
The rest of their journey home was filled with stops and starts. Xiulan stopped the car to break up with Xiangchun Lin Heng.
When they returned to Hongfeng Mountain, they had already picked about seven or eight kilograms of Chinese toon, which was a huge harvest.
"This trip to the city wasn't in vain."
The car stopped in front of the door, and Xiulan walked down with a smile, carrying Chinese toon and a handbag.
"It's not a wasted trip at all."
Lin Heng said with a smile, drove the car up the slope, and slowly drove back to the yard.
Xiaoxia ran over and hugged Lin Heng and Xiulan's thighs: "Mom and Dad, where have you been?"
"I went to the city to do some work. I brought you some candy, your favorite White Rabbit milk candy."
Xiulan took out a candy and peeled it for her.
Lin Heng looked at his watch. It was already half past five. It took him quite a while to pick Chinese toon on the way.
Caiyun looked at the two of them and said, "Second brother, have you checked your bodies and found out everything is fine?"
Lin Heng shook his head and said, "No problem, it's just that your sister-in-law has a little iron deficiency anemia."
"That's good. It's okay. I'll go back first." Caiyun nodded.
"Stay and have dinner with us." Lin Heng said with a smile.
"Okay, I won't be polite anyway." Caiyun giggled and didn't take a few steps at all.
"Dad, what are they doing today?"
Lin Heng walked into the house, poured two glasses of water, looked up and asked.
"Dad and elder brother are plowing and harrowing the fields, preparing to plant corn and rice." Caiyun nodded.
Lin Heng understood that this was about all the work he could do during this period of time, and there was nothing else to do.
The rice seedling raising work has been done a long time ago. This year, there are fewer crops to plant and there is more time, so the rice can be planted earlier.
After resting for a while, Xiulan went to cook, and Lin Heng and Caiyun picked some toon sprouts.
In the evening, Xiulan made soup with the large crucian carp left over from yesterday, and this time she used morels to stir-fry bacon.
Then I fried some bacon with the prickly ash sprouts, and this time I blanched the Chinese toon and served it cold.
"The bacon made from wild boar meat seems to taste better than domestic pork."
Caiyun said while eating the fried bacon with prickly ash sprouts that it tasted better than what Lin's mother cooked.
"It depends on luck. Some wild boars are good eaters, they eat all kinds of Chinese herbs and wild fruits, even ginseng, but some don't taste good."
Lin Heng said with a smile.
After eating so much wild boar meat, he has gained some experience. The quality of the meat from each wild boar is different. It may be garbage or it may be a legend. It is like opening a blind box.
"The thorny old tree buds are really delicious. Let's wait until the trees above us sprout and then pick some."
Xiulan said while eating that she felt the prickly ash sprouts were better than the Chinese toon, with a richer flavor and a crispier texture.
"no problem."
Lin Heng nodded in agreement and took a bite of the cold-mixed Chinese toon. The cold-mixed Chinese toon had a different taste, but he still liked to eat it fried with bacon.
The prickly ash sprouts are also good. He thinks they are similar to the Chinese toon sprouts. He likes to eat them both, but he is not as partial to them as Xiulan.
“This morel fried with meat is delicious.”
Caiyun ate one herself and fed one to Xiaoxia.
"That's natural, otherwise it wouldn't be so expensive."
Lin Heng smiled and nodded. The stir-fried morel with meat was indeed better than the Chinese toon and the prickly ash sprouts. It tasted so delicious.
There were three adults and one child. They didn’t eat much rice and mainly ate vegetables. The delicacies of spring are so charming.
After dinner, Caiyun said goodbye and went home. Lin Heng washed the dishes and the three of them spent some time in the yard eating.
"Dad, I want to sleep~"
Xiaoxia played for a while and then rubbed her eyes and said that she had been jumping and playing all day and was very tired.
"Then go to sleep."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Lin Heng carried her into the house and told her the story of Nuwa creating human beings. After he had just said a few words, Xiaoxia fell into a deep sleep.
Xiulan boiled water in a large wooden barrel, and the two of them took a comfortable bath together.
"Let's go, let's start learning from Goddess Nuwa!"
After taking a shower, Lin Heng picked up Xiulan and laughed.
“Turn off the lights!”
Xiulan hugged Lin Heng's neck, her pretty face flushed.
Lin Heng gently put her down, kissed her, and slowly pounced on her.
"Hmm~"
…
…
There is no need to control it deliberately, just do whatever you want, and there is no need to be blocked by anything.
As the two of them resonated with each other, the bedroom gradually became quiet.
“It’s wonderful.”
Lin Heng hugged Xiulan and said intoxicatedly that this was the most enjoyable time since his rebirth.
Xiulan curled up in Lin Heng's arms without saying a word. It was unclear whether she had not yet recovered from the impact of the scalding ion flow or was just too shy.
After a while, she felt Lin Heng's hand climbing up again, and she fell into it again without paying attention.
The next morning, Lin Heng woke up and found that Xiulan was not awake yet.
She shook him gently, and frowned: "Don't make trouble, I'll sleep for a while."
"All right."
Lin Heng smiled and guessed that it was probably because he was too aggressive yesterday.
He got up quietly, worked out, went to milk the cows, made some potato pancakes and fried bacon with Chinese toon, and then went to call Xiulan and Xiaoxia to eat.
After Xiulan got up, she looked at the food on the table, sniffed and said with a smile, "It smells so good. The cooking is really good."
"No, cooking is not a problem for me."
Lin Heng said with a smile, handed her a pair of chopsticks, and took a potato pancake for Xiaoxia.
He himself prefers to spread the potato cakes with fermented bean curd and spicy sauce before eating them.
"tasty."
Xiulan nodded in affirmation, saying that Lin Heng's skills were no worse than hers.
Lin Heng chuckled, feeling flattered by the compliment, and reached out to pour some milk for Xiaoxia and Xiulan.
After dinner, Lin Heng said goodbye to Xiulan and rode his red horse to Hongfeng Mountain.
Opening the door, I saw that the cement floor had completely solidified and was grayish white and as hard as stone.
I first went to check the grass carp pond and found a lot of grass carp fry on the water surface eating foxtail grass leaves. Since they were not fed much in the winter, these fry were about the same size as last year.
After taking a look at the grass carp fry, Lin Heng went to other ponds to check. Except for the water level rising a lot, there was no other change.
I went upstairs to take another look at the house. There was no problem with the three warehouses, two incubation rooms and a hundred square meters.
Lin Heng breathed a sigh of relief. This place was now considered an industry. Even if he only operated these fish ponds in the next few decades, his family would be able to become middle class.
After taking a look at him, I stopped paying attention to him. My main purpose today was to see if the grass had sprouted.
Walking a little higher, Lin Heng saw rows of emerald green grass sprouts emerging. Although they were only two or three centimeters long, they were growing very well.
The three kinds of forage grasses and the Chinese medicinal herb Forsythia have all sprouted. The land was already fertile after being newly reclaimed, and with the spring rain, all of them sprouted.
"I don't have to worry about it now."
Lin Heng nodded happily. These three acres of grass were enough for the musk deer and other cattle, sheep and horses in his family.
After checking the pasture, he put the dates on the roadside to graze, and climbed up the mountain to check the ginseng.
Unlike forage grass, ginseng grows much slower and none of them sprout.
“Sure enough, no seedlings emerged.”
Lin Heng knew this would happen, so he squatted down and dug in the soil nearby.
The ginseng seeds have already grown many roots and green sprouts can be seen, which means that they are growing vigorously. It is estimated that seedlings will be seen in ten days or half a month.
After looking at this side, he ran to check on the apple tree and the Chinese medicinal herbs over there. The turmeric and astragalus had sprouted, and the apple tree had grown a few small round leaves, and everything was in good condition.
“It’s good that they are all thriving.”
Lin Heng nodded with satisfaction, feeling relieved after seeing that they were in good condition.
