Chapter 293: Marrying the wrong person ruins three generations, buying cattle and sheep and bringing them home

"What's wrong?"

Xiulan sat up and asked.

"Hey, the rain is still falling." Lin Heng said helplessly. Although it was not a heavy rain, it was only slightly smaller than last night, which was very annoying.

"Are you going into the city or not?" Xiulan asked with a yawn.

"Let's see what the situation is. If it doesn't snow, then we can go. You take a nap first, I'll go make breakfast." Lin Heng said. It would be useless to force our way down if the rain was too heavy, and the car wouldn't be able to get up tomorrow.

I got dressed and washed my face, then went to feed the livestock in the drizzle and milked the cows.

It is convenient to have hay harvested in advance, so you don’t have to worry about the cattle, sheep and horses having nothing to eat on rainy days.

"Honey, the chicks are born!"

Lin Heng came back with milk, and Xiulan's excited voice came from the study. These were the chicks she hatched with her own hands.

"How many are there?" Lin Heng put down the milk and walked over to ask.

"Eight, and more are coming out too." Xiulan looked up and smiled.

"That's not bad. We don't have to buy chicks this year." Lin Heng said with a smile.

Xiulan nodded: "It's more than enough, and I can even give a few to others."

After watching for a while, Lin Heng went to heat the milk, still using the water bath.

There is yogurt made last night in the rice cooker, and it is ready to eat. However, the old yogurt at home is used up, so I have to buy more if I want to make it.

After heating the milk and boiling the eggs, Lin Heng made a potato pancake, spread some garlic and chili on it, and it tasted crispy and delicious.

"The rain is finally going to stop!" After dinner, Xiulan said as she looked at the sky which was gradually brightening.

"Yes, it finally stopped. I'm going out to find my dad. I'll come back once more before I leave." Lin Heng said to Xiulan.

"Okay, go ahead." Xiulan nodded. She wanted to take care of the chicks that had just hatched.

Lin Heng drove down the road and heard a quarrel when passing the center of the village. He looked over curiously, wondering whose family was quarreling.

When I asked someone, I found out that Li Shigui and his wife had a quarrel. It seemed that it was because Li Shigui disagreed with the discussion of building a house and wanted to save the money for his son's schooling, while his wife Zhang Cui thought that it was too early for his son to go to school and they should build a house first.

After arguing for a few words, Zhang Cui smashed the bowls and pots, and the two started fighting.

Lin Heng understood the situation and left without saying much. Quarrels happened all the time in the village, almost every day, but some were minor and some were major.

He had also heard about Li Shigui's wife Zhang Cui. She was very competitive and wanted to have whatever other people had. If her husband didn't give her what she wanted, she would make a fuss and quarrel with him, and she also loved to throw things.

Lin Heng shook his head, secretly glad that he married Xiulan instead of Jinyan. What our ancestors said was true: marrying the wrong woman ruins your life, marrying the wrong woman ruins three generations.

Women are also a very important factor in whether a family can become wealthy. A woman with bad character will squander all your money no matter how much money you have.

Before he knew it, Lin Heng had already arrived at Hongfeng Mountain. Father Lin was squatting under the eaves eating noodles. When he saw Lin Heng coming, he stood up and said, "Let's go after I finish my noodles."

"Don't worry!" Lin Heng waved his hand, sat down and smiled as he told his parents some village gossip. : When it comes to gossip, Lin's mother is like opening a chatterbox, and she talks very excitedly. "This is nothing. A few years ago, Zhang Zhigui's mother from the Zhang family in Shanghe fell down and needed surgery. He went to withdraw his deposit and found that all the money was gone. When he asked, he found that his wife had secretly taken it out and used it.

And the Liu family, the daughter-in-law insisted on managing the money for me, but when I needed it, I found out that she had given all the money to her brother from her natal family..."

She had nothing to do in the village and was very interested in this kind of gossip.

Lin Heng ate the melon with gusto. But he guessed that no one could have imagined that this was already the best era, and that the Internet era would be the era of chaos.

Although there are many messy things in this era, most people still want to live a good life. In the Internet era, most people are brainwashed by capital, and making money and cheating are just basic operations.

She doesn't earn a penny but still feels justified in beating and scolding her husband, even though she has no job and doesn't know how to do housework.

Anyway, I have awakened. My thoughts are independent, my finances are dependent, but my body is free.

Although it was miserable in this era, at least you could get a first-hand car. But in later times, it will be miserable. Most of the cars you "buy" at huge prices are second-hand cars, or even shared cars.

If Lin Heng told this to his mother, she would probably be so shocked that her teeth would drop out. She couldn't believe that civilized society could be like this.

"By the way, Mom, have the chicks you hatched? The ones hatched by Xiulan have started to hatch." Lin Heng asked after his mother finished speaking.

"So soon?" Lin's mother was surprised, then shook her head, "Mine haven't even started to hatch yet."

"It should be soon." Lin Heng nodded. The two nests started hatching at about the same time.

"Then I'll be careful these two days and not go out." Lin's mother nodded.

After saying a few words, Father Lin finished his meal. He had milk in the morning, but he preferred noodles.

After packing up briefly, the two of them set off together.

"Wife, I'm leaving. I'll probably be back at noon tomorrow." Lin Heng went back to the room and said to Xiulan.

"Wait, use this to wipe your sweat. Don't always use your clothes to wipe your sweat." Xiulan brought him a handkerchief and picked off a large piece of dandruff from his hair.

Lin Heng grinned and happily put the handkerchief into his pocket.

Xiulan didn't know what he was grinning about, so she patted his clothes and said, "Guess how many chicks have hatched at home?"

"How much?" Lin Heng was really curious.

Xiulan smiled and said, "Twenty eggs hatched a total of eighteen, much more than you did before, should I come?"

"Oh my God, so many, your technique is really amazing." Lin Heng was shocked. Generally speaking, a birth rate of half with such incubation is considered good. Xiulan is really lucky.

"You thought so." Xiulan blinked happily, and pushed him again, "Okay, you should go quickly, Dad must be waiting anxiously downstairs."

"Okay." Lin Heng nodded and turned to go out. Because it was raining, he drove the car himself, and the road was a bit muddy and slippery, so it was not easy to drive.

It was already eleven o'clock when we arrived in the city. We walked slowly today.

Stopping in front of the city center hospital, Lin Heng turned around and said, "Come on, Dad, let's go check your body."

"Then check it out to see if there is any disease in my old bones." Father Lin knew that he could not persuade Lin Heng, so he readily agreed.

The results of the physical examination will be out tomorrow, but his blood pressure is very high and he needs to take medication.

After seeing a Chinese doctor, a lot of problems were found. Not only did Mr. Lin suffer from severe lumbar muscle strain, he also suffered from liver, kidney and qi deficiency, which required timely remediation.

"Is this true? I felt like there was nothing wrong with me, but how come I found so many problems after a checkup?" Father Lin was carrying a bag of medicine and couldn't believe that he had so many health problems.

"People have to accept their aging. It's normal to have these problems. Just treat them." Lin Heng patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Men in their forties will have various problems to a greater or lesser extent, especially since his father loves drinking. It would be strange if he didn't have any problems.

"Oh, it seems that I'm really old!" Father Lin shook his head helplessly.

Lin Heng put his arm around his father's shoulders and said with a smile, "Let's go eat."

He actually wanted to get his father to quit drinking and exercise, but he knew it was too difficult to change a person's lifestyle habits of decades.

Moreover, there are few entertainment options in the countryside, so he likes to drink a little wine. If this is deprived of him, he may not know what to do and lose the meaning of life.

It would be better to earn more money so that I can find a good hospital to treat him.

"Let's eat." Father Lin nodded.

Lin Heng found a restaurant, ordered a stir-fried asparagus and a stir-fried pork liver, and some rice wine, and they started eating.

"This asparagus is quite delicious. No wonder I saw people growing so much of it." Father Lin said with a smile as he ate the crispy and sweet asparagus.

"This thing can be eaten for twenty to thirty years if planted once. We can also buy some and plant it at home." Lin Heng said. He had bought some for Xiulan before, but she liked to eat it raw and not cooked.

"What to buy? I can find someone who grows them and exchange their grain for two of them." Father Lin shook his head, not wanting to spend any money.

"That's fine." Lin Heng nodded and started eating rice with asparagus and pork liver.

After dinner, they went to the animal husbandry station in the afternoon to inquire about the situation.

"Then I'll go find your director!" Lin Heng found the female salesperson from before.

The female salesperson smiled and said, "You are finally here. Our director has been waiting for you. The cattle and sheep are ready."

"That's good. I'm here to discuss this matter as well." Lin Heng said with a smile.

Soon he saw the director with a horse face. As soon as he saw Lin Heng, he said, "Boss Lin, are you here to transport cattle and sheep this time?"

Lin Heng's order has been with him for a long time. If Lin Heng doesn't come for one day, they will have to bear the cost of feeding him.

"Yes, we will move it up tomorrow. We agreed to close the door on your side." Lin Heng nodded.

"Don't worry. Come and inspect the goods at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, and then we will ship them to you after we complete the handover." Director Ma Lian nodded with a smile.

After confirming it, Lin Heng was unwilling to stay too long, and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll take my leave first."

"Hey, wait a moment, there are still some matters to discuss." The horse-faced director stopped him.

Lin Heng turned his head and looked at Director Ma Lian curiously, wondering what else he wanted to say.

The horse-faced director poured Lin Heng a glass of water and said with a smile, "Boss Lin, don't be in such a hurry to leave. I have some male Longdong black goats here. They are cheap recently. Do you want some?"

"No, these are enough for me." Lin Heng shook his head.

Director Horse Face: “…”

"Are you sure you don't want to pay seven yuan for one sheep?" The horse-faced director said with a smile, "Actually, our sheep pen is full of sheep, otherwise we wouldn't be in such a hurry to sell them."

They mainly trade in lambs and do not want to raise the sheep to sell for meat, as that is not cost-effective and takes up space.

"Seven dollars a head!" Lin Heng pondered for a moment, as if hesitating.

The horse-faced director continued, "I'll give you 22 heads for 150 yuan, which is less than seven yuan per head. This is the biggest discount I can give you. We are in a hurry to deal with it, otherwise we wouldn't have such a high price. You know that we don't bargain."

Lin Heng thought for a few seconds, then smiled brightly and said, "Can you give me some more disease prevention medicine? I don't feel safe if you buy so much."

"That's no problem. I'll take charge of sending it to you." Director Ma nodded.

Lin Heng smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll buy thirty females and twenty-two males, which is four hundred and fifty dollars in total?"

Director Ma Lian nodded repeatedly: "Yes, plus ten five-month-old Qinchuan calves, the total is 1,450 yuan. You gave a deposit of 100 yuan at the beginning, and you can bring 1,350 yuan tomorrow. I will give you some tools and veterinary medicine as a gift for this big deal."

Such a big business is rare for him.

"I understand." Lin nodded, chatted with him for a few more words, and then stood up to say goodbye.

After I went out, I looked for my father on the street where cattle and lambs were sold, and found him chatting with an old man selling lambs.

Seeing Lin Heng, Lin's father walked over with a smile: "Have you bought it?"

Lin Heng nodded: "Yes, I bought 22 more male black goats because they are cheaper."

As he walked towards the tricycle, he explained the specific situation.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"That's fine. We can fan the rams and feed them for two years, then sell them for a good deal. We can open up some land and grow forage grass when we have time." Father Lin nodded.

"Yes, it is very cost-effective to raise them for a few years and sell the meat." Lin Heng nodded. If he wanted to sell it, he would have to wait until 1987 or 1988. It would be a huge loss to sell it before then.

"So what are we going to do this afternoon?" Father Lin asked curiously.

"Let's walk around and then find a good place to rest." Lin Heng said.

He originally wanted to go find the people at the abandoned factory to discuss the land price, but after thinking it over carefully, he felt that there was no rush. There, people are having trouble selling but not buying, and waiting for a while before going back might give better results.

He drove his dad around the city, as they didn't have a good time last time.

After buying some odds and ends, the two of them ended up strolling to the Baihe River. It had just rained and the water in the Baihe River was unusually fierce. After watching for a while, the two of them found a nice hotel by the river to stay.

After finding a place to stay, Lin Heng took his father for a walk again. He looked for a suitable house in the city and was prepared to buy it directly if it was suitable.

It is not possible to live without a place to stay in the city, especially since Xiulan is about to give birth next year and she will have to come down early and prepare to go to the city hospital to give birth.

There are also midwives in the countryside, or barefoot doctors. But it is definitely far worse than in the city. First of all, the sanitary conditions are far worse. Secondly, if a baby has a serious hemorrhage, it can be treated in the city, but in the village, the baby can only wait to die.

Of course he would not allow such a thing to happen, so he had to look for a house in advance so that Xiulan would have a place to live when she came down.

In fact, he doesn’t even look at houses in the city center now. He is looking for houses near both sides of the Baihe River. Houses near the river will definitely appreciate in value in the future.

"Son, do you want to buy or rent a house in the city?" Father Lin asked after following Lin Heng for a while. He understood his son's intention without Lin Heng saying anything.

"Buy it if it's suitable. Although living in the countryside is comfortable, many things still need to come to the city. You can't do without a house." Lin Heng said.

He is just an ordinary person who was reborn. He has no ability to transform the village where he lives into a megacity. All he can do is follow history.

"That makes sense, but can you buy a house in the city without a city hukou?" Father Lin asked curiously.

"Sure." Lin Heng nodded with a smile. "Besides, if you can't buy a house, you can always find someone to help you get a town hukou. It's not difficult if you have money."

"That's right. After all, money makes the world go round." Father Lin said with emotion.

The so-called Jiangnan is the south side of Baihe River, which is the current main urban area, and the north side of Baihe River is the north of the city, which is the key development area in the future.

Although the Baihe River is called a river, its width is more than one thousand meters, which is definitely the size of a large river.

Lin Heng was looking for a suitable house near the river. He first looked for one under the name of renting. Most of those who were willing to rent were also willing to sell because they had extra properties.

He also likes fishing, and his house is close to the river, so it is very convenient for him to go fishing.

"This house is nice." Lin Heng said in surprise as he looked at the house in front of him.

The house is built of blue bricks and white lime, covering an area of ​​about 500 to 600 square meters. There is a walled courtyard outside and a plaque on the round arch door, giving it the feel of a building from the Republic of China period.

The main building inside is a two-story blue brick house. In addition, there are two small wing rooms. There are trees planted in the yard and stone reliefs on the courtyard wall, which is quite artistic.

"Want to rent it? Only five dollars a month." The landlord was a middle-aged woman, and she asked with a smile.

"It's a bit old, and it doesn't feel as good as the previous one." Father Lin shook his head. The previous newly built one was similar to this one, and he thought that one was better.

"Let's take another look." Lin Heng smiled and went into the house to take a look. The house was not bad, so he thought about buying it again.

After the viewing, they wandered around and found a hotel to stay in when it was almost dark. The afternoon walk was not in vain, as they initially identified three properties, all of which were close to the river, about 500 square meters in size, two old houses and one new house.

There are still very few high-rise buildings and residential areas here, and most of them are still in the ancient courtyard style, which is the style of house architecture in the northwest region.

However, Lin Heng has not yet decided which one to buy. There is still plenty of time, so he can buy it before the end of the year.

There was not much disturbance in the high-end hotel, and I spent a quiet night. The next day, which was June 28th in the Gregorian calendar, the sky was exceptionally blue after the rain, and the golden sunrise could be seen early in the plains.

Lin Heng took his father to have breakfast, and then went to the hospital to get the physical examination report. Apart from the illness found out yesterday, Lin's father did not have any other additional illnesses.

In fact, there are definitely some trace elements missing, but the food has been so good in the past year that it has almost made up for it.

After getting the report, they drove to get the money first, and then came to the animal husbandry station. It was only nine o'clock, and a truck specially used for transporting livestock had already stopped here, waiting for him to come and load the livestock.

The salesman brought Lin Heng over, and the horse-faced director introduced with a smile: "Boss Lin, the cattle and sheep you want to buy are all kept here. We can move them to the car after you check them."

"Let me check each one's outfit." Lin Heng nodded.

He and his father first looked at the calves. These calves were not well fed. They weighed only about 270 to 280 kilograms at five months old. They were probably fed carelessly.

Lin Heng checked them one by one according to his understanding of these things. There were nine heifers and one bull, and he checked each one and loaded one on the truck.

Although the animals here are not very fat, there is no doubt that they are in good health and there are no problems at all.

However, he was still not careless. After checking the cows, he counted them one by one and checked the condition of the lambs. Finally, he felt relieved after all ten Qinchuan calves and fifty-two Longdong black goat kids were loaded on the truck.

"Director, where are the gifts you promised?" Lin Heng asked with a smile.

"It's all over there, a big bag of veterinary medicine with the instructions and everything in it. Just use it according to the instructions." Director Ma Lian said, pointing to a white snakeskin bag next to him.

"Okay, let's go count the money."

He asked Lin's father to watch here while he and Director Ma Lian went over there to settle the balance.

After paying, Director Ma happily extended his hand and said, "It's a pleasure to work with you. If you have any questions, you can come here to find us at any time. There are veterinarians in the station."

"It's a pleasure to work with you." Lin Heng smiled and shook hands, then left with the bill, drove a sidecar tricycle in front to lead the way, and Lin's father got on the truck.

After a day of drying, the road was no longer a big problem, but there were still two uphill sections where the car was stuck. Lin Heng drove from the front, and Lin's father asked someone to help push from the back to get the car out of trouble. In the process, they lost two packs of cigarettes.

There is nothing we can do about it, but the national highway is already under construction. It will be much better to take the national highway directly after it is completed in two years.

At noon, when the sun was at its strongest, a large group of carts came to Hongfeng Village. The lambs on the carts kept bleating.

"Hey, are you here to sell lambs and goats? There are so many black goats!"

Some people at the entrance of the village suddenly became curious when they saw the car.

"That's not right. Isn't Lin Heng's car in the front? Could it be that Lin Heng bought it?"

"Definitely. I saw him plant a large meadow on Red Maple Mountain. Recently, he also built cattle and sheep pens."

"How much does this cost?"

"Why does it seem like he has endless money?"

The people in the village were once again shocked by Lin Heng. Originally, Jin Yan's family was considered impressive for raising seven or eight cows, but compared with Lin Heng's, it was insignificant.

This young man's casual investment is shocking! "Lin Heng, are these the cattle and sheep you bought?"

Seeing Lin Heng approaching, someone came to the side of the road and asked.

Lin Heng smiled and said, "Yes, I will raise them and sell them for money."

"Wow, this is a big project." Someone was shocked.

How much would it cost to raise so many cattle and sheep? Lin Heng was too hardworking . He had a purchasing station, which was not enough, so he dug a fish pond and now bought so many cattle and sheep for breeding. Wasn't he afraid of losing money? Lin Heng laughed twice and drove over. Many people in the village who were watching the fun followed him to the Hongfeng Mountain breeding base.

Walking into the base, I was envious and shocked. This place used to be sandy and didn't grow many crops, but now it has completely changed.

The neat cement roads, green shrimp ponds, beautiful warehouses and houses are a complete change from the previous chaotic scene.

"This Lin Heng is really capable!"

All the villagers couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, thinking that they definitely didn't have such courage.

"Why didn't I marry my daughter to Lin Heng in the first place?!"

Some of those who had been proposed to by the Lin family secretly regretted it, as there was no one who was not jealous of the Lin family's current assets.

"Can the car be reversed to the cowshed?" Lin Heng asked the driver. The slope to the cowshed was only about 30 degrees, so he thought he could go up.

"Let me try." The driver turned around in the large area beside the warehouse and headed towards the cowshed.

Xiulan knew that Lin Heng would come here directly, so she brought Xiaoxia here to wait. Her elder brother and sister-in-law also came here early to help.

"Lin Heng, you have too many sheep, maybe thirty?"

Lin Heng found Lin Heng and asked.
