After saying that, Lin Heng quickly returned to his yard. Xiulan and the three children were already waiting for him at the door.

"dad!!"

“Dad…Dad…”

"Dad, I miss you!"

The three children were about to jump on Lin Heng when they saw him, but Xiulan stopped them and said, "Wait until your father comes back to the house. Didn't you see he's carrying something?"

"Wait a minute, I'll hold you. Daddy has caught a big prey this time!"

Lin Heng touched the three children's heads and quickly walked into the yard. He put the backpack down and took two deep breaths.

"Dad, you're the best!"

The children rushed up and hugged his legs. They hadn't seen him for nearly a week and they missed Lin Heng very much.

When Xiulan saw that Lin Heng was fine, she went into the house to pour tea for everyone and entertain the guests.

"Too many, I'm exhausted!"

"You must eat some meat today to replenish your body."

"Don't worry, there will be plenty of meat and wine for dinner later!"

Everyone sat down and talked while warming themselves by the fire. It was quite tiring to go into the mountains this time.

Some people from the village who came to watch the fun also came. Old Man Tian, ​​Wang Kaidian, Wang Bing and others flipped through the meat in the basket and drooled with envy.

"Lin boy, it's just that I didn't bring you with me when I hunted wild geese last time. Why didn't you call me when you hunted Aries?" Old man Tian was so envious.

Lin Heng looked at Old Man Tian and smiled, "Who told you not to call me? If you want to eat, stay and help later."

"That's great. As an old man, I love helping others the most." Old Man Tian said with a smile.

Wang Kaidian looked at the prey and asked, "You are really amazing. I heard that in addition to the white sheep and the yellow muntjac, you also killed four wild boars."

"I got it by luck." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"But you don't have that much luck. You just have good skills." Wang Kaidian shook his head and said.

"How did you manage to track so many prey?" Wang Bing asked with a smile, not embarrassed at all. He was impressed by the skills of Lin Heng and others.

However, what he didn't know was that this was nothing. Lin Heng had fought two black bears before. That guy was really fierce.

"It's a secret." Lin Heng said after taking a sip of tea. He didn't want to chat with Wang Bing any more and deliberately left him alone.

The other villagers watched for a while and then left. Only some old men with nothing to do stayed here chatting animatedly and bragging loudly.

In the past two years, Lin Heng hadn't shown off his hunting much, and no one in the village knew about it. But this time, people were envious of him again. It was like getting two cows, four pigs and a sheep for free. How could anyone not be envious?

Inside the house, after resting enough, everyone took out the meat and hung it up to dry. Lin Heng cut some for Xiulan, and she, her mother and sister-in-law went to cook. They wanted to set up a few more tables today and invite guests for dinner.

"How are you going to divide this stuff?" Liu Hua asked curiously in the main room.

"Well, we have our own way of distribution. We are going to sell the meat later and divide the money then." Lin Heng said something nonsense and evaded the matter. He didn't want to talk about this in public.

"Yes, it should be distributed according to the merit, not equally." Lu Honghai and others said.

Tian Dongfu, the village party secretary, said with a smile: "This is the best way to distribute. Absolute fairness is absolutely unfair."

He was kept by Lin Heng when he came to watch the fun. He happened to have something to say to Lin Heng, so he stayed.

Xiulan and the others cooked very quickly and set up four tables tonight. In addition to Lin Heng’s own relatives, there were also some people including the village party secretary.

There weren't many dishes, only six on the table, but four of them were full of meat. Based on these, no one would say that their hospitality was poor.

The dinner table was lively with everyone toasting each other. Lin Heng did not sit with Xiulan and her children because he had to take care of some guests.

After three rounds of drinks, the old Party Secretary Tian Dongfu pulled Lin Heng and said, "Lin Heng, the village has established a cooperative and borrowed 50,000 yuan from the township credit union. We plan to plant cash crops in the village and help everyone develop. What do you think we should plant?"

Lin Heng looked at Tian Dongfu and said, "Uncle Tian, ​​I think you probably already have an idea about this. My suggestions are nothing more than medicinal herbs and fruits. Others are not very good. For fruits, you can choose kiwis, apples, grapes, etc. For medicinal herbs, you can choose astragalus, hay, gentian, ginseng, etc."

Tian Dongfu nodded and said, "I do have an idea. I plan to plant Astragalus. I think it's a good idea for you to plant Astragalus. Let the villagers make some money first. When they see hope and feel that there is a way forward, then invest in other things. Besides, with you planting Astragalus first, the villagers will be more receptive."

Hearing this, Lin Heng immediately understood that the old branch secretary was feeling his way forward and came to inquire about the specific situation of his sales of astragalus.

Lin Heng smiled and said, "That's fine. The flowers we grow produce about 200 kilograms per mu. Our area is quite suitable for planting. Uncle Tian, ​​if you need my help, I can help you."

Tian Dongfu said, "Do you want to join the cooperative? The model I have prepared is that the cooperative will buy seeds for the villagers for free. The harvest must be sold to the cooperative, and then it will be purchased at the current purchase price. The price increase or decrease in the past two years has nothing to do with the villagers. I think I will have more confidence if you join."

He plans to do this for two years first, and when he really makes money and everyone is willing to do it, he will expand the scale. Those who are willing to join the cooperative can invest in the cooperative through labor or other means, and then they can run the cooperative together and share dividends at the end of the year.

Lin Heng shook his head and smiled: "I can help, but I really don't have the heart to do this. I plan to raise pigs next year."

"Raising pigs, how many pigs do you plan to raise?" Tian Dongfu was puzzled, thinking that Lin Heng was really capable of doing things.

"I haven't thought about this yet." Lin Heng shook his head.

After chatting for a while, the two had a few drinks. Lin Heng had a relatively good impression of Tian Dongfu. This man was not as arrogant and snobbish as those officials in other villages. Not only did he take advantage of any benefit for himself, he also tried every means to squeeze the money of the villagers.

At least on the surface, Tian Dongfu is very honest and upright. He is also very friendly and kind, and has always been committed to helping the villagers get rich.

If Lin Heng had to have a shortcoming, it would be that he really enjoyed the feeling of being in power and being respected and admired. I remember that in his previous life, he had been the village party secretary for several decades.

During the chat, Tian Dongfu also liked and admired Lin Heng very much. He even felt that Lin Heng got married too early, otherwise he would have to marry his daughter to this young man.

Afterwards, he continued to invite Lin Heng to join the cooperative, saying that this was a good thing and a good opportunity. By joining forces with him, not only would the villagers become wealthy, but Lin Heng would also be able to make a lot of money.

Lin Heng was helpless. He understood Uncle Tian's good intentions, but he had already opened a factory in the city and would be raising pigs next year. He really didn't want to earn this little money from the cooperative.

But he couldn't refuse Tian Dongfu's kindness, as that would be too disrespectful to him. In the end, he could only lean over to his ear and say, "Uncle Tian, ​​I'll be honest with you, but please keep it a secret."

Tian Dongfu was a little surprised, then looked at Lin Heng curiously, and then moved closer. Lin Heng told him that he had opened a small factory in the city, and said that he would have to raise at least a thousand pigs next year, so he really didn't have time.

After hearing this, Tian Dongfu's somewhat dim eyes widened and his mouth opened wide for two seconds. Then he patted Lin Heng on the shoulder, took a deep breath and said, "Good fellow, you are a hidden talent. No one knows this."

He used to think that Lin Heng didn't come to him because he didn't trust him, but now it seems that he really can't come, and he wouldn't come either if it were him.

Also, no wonder he was unmoved when Zhao Hu provoked him before. It turned out that Zhao Hu was not as good as others in terms of integrity.

Lin Heng smiled and said, "It's just opened and not officially operational yet. If it goes bankrupt in the end, wouldn't it be very embarrassing? Let's not talk about it for now."

Tian Dongfu nodded, thought for a moment and said, "I guess the cooperative won't be able to use up all the money it has. If that doesn't work, the cooperative can raise hundreds of pigs and use your feed."

"Of course I can. I'm so happy. This is all thanks to Uncle Tian for giving me the order." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"If your factory really opens, you will definitely not forget our village. Any help counts," Tian Dongfu said with a smile.

"That's for sure, I'll toast you a glass!" Lin Heng said happily.

After drinking, Tian Dongfu and a group of people left first. Tian Dongfu also took the lead in buying some antelope beef.

After everyone had left, Lin Heng looked at everyone and said, "Let's talk about the specific division tomorrow morning. We're all a little drunk now."

"Okay, there's no rush. In the end we still need your help to sell it, Lin Heng." Lu Honghai nodded.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Yes, there is no rush at all. We trust you the most." Lu Honggang also said.

Lin Heng nodded, then handed over a ten-pound piece of antelope meat that had been cut in advance to Sandie and Liu Hua as a thank you gift for their help in carrying the things.

"Then I won't be polite." Lin Xutao smiled and didn't be polite to his nephew.

Liu Hua made some polite remarks and let Lin Yue pull him out. He was very happy when he took the meat back. The meat was worth a lot of money. He decided to go back and tell his son that he must follow Lin Heng and Lin Yue, only then would he have a future.

My eldest uncle and third uncle went to the old house to rest. Lin's mother and sister-in-law helped to clean up the house and left. Soon the house became deserted.

Lin Heng looked at Xiulan's slightly red oval face under the tungsten light bulb after drinking, and took her hand and said, "Wife, you have worked hard today."

"That's nothing. It's nothing compared to the hunger and cold you suffered in the mountains." Xiulan looked at Lin Heng's rough hands and said with pity.

"It's okay, it's okay. My dear, you are the one who has worked hard. Let me toast you." Lin Heng laughed and poured out the remaining rice wine in the jug.

"Thank you, husband." Xiulan picked up the wine glass and said with a smile. Although it was not a hard job, she was happy that Lin Heng cared about her.

"Wait a minute." Lin Heng said suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Xiulan was stunned.

Lin Heng took his hand out of her arm and said with a smile: "Let's drink the wedding wine. It just so happens that we didn't drink it on the wedding day."

When they got married, he just wanted to be with Xiulan when he entered the room, and there was no such thing as drinking wine together.

Xiulan's face suddenly turned even redder, and after drinking the wedding wine with Lin Heng, she felt her body go limp.

"Hurry up and wash up and take a rest." Xiulan put down the wine glass, poured water and let the three children wash their faces, hands and feet first.

While helping, Lin Heng said, "I'll smash the stove in a few days, make you a smokeless wood stove, and install an electric fume exhaust fan."

The current stove in his house is made of mud. It was designed with smoke exhaust at the beginning, but it is not good enough, especially in recent years. Today he saw Xiulan and the others cooking, and there was a lot of smoke, which made the mixture of firewood, salt and oil smoke in the kitchen very choking.

He guessed that the chimney made of mud was blocked, so he simply dismantled it and used red bricks and cement to make a real smokeless wood stove with secondary gasification combustion.

This is also why he said that Xiulan had a hard time today, because he saw her crying because of the smoke.

"Okay." Xiulan smiled and nodded, feeling warm in her heart.

Soon the three children finished washing. Lin Heng and Xiulan carried them to the bedroom to stay there first, and then took out some clean clothes.

Lin Heng poured a large basin of hot water again, and then called Xiulan: "Wife, please help me rub my back. I haven't taken a bath for a long time and my body is very itchy."

Xiulan came over to help him, and seeing his red face, she said, "Don't look so lewd, just take a bath."

It was impossible not to blush when Lin Heng's little head stood up a little.

Lin Heng smiled playfully and said, "I miss you, Xiulan. Do you want me to wash you later?"

"You're so shameless." Xiu'an slapped him and pinched his face, but to Lin Heng this was more like a reward.

But it has to be said that Lin Heng's body is indeed very solid and strong. Although he does not have those big muscles that are trained by eating protein powder in the gym, the yellow muscles all over the body are very obvious and strong. He has four obvious abdominal muscles and two less obvious abdominal muscles in his abdomen.

With such a beautiful figure exposed under the light, Xiulan couldn't help but blush.

After taking a shower, Lin Heng put on his shorts and said, "Wife, are you really not going to take a shower?"

"I've already washed it. Go in and tell a story to your daughter and son." Xiulan threw the towel on Lin Heng's face and gave him a blank look.

"It's fine."

Lin Heng grinned, poured the bath water, soaked the hunting clothes, and then returned to the bedroom with Xiulan.

When the children saw Lin Heng coming back, they all climbed on him, played happily for a while before sitting down to listen to Lin Heng telling stories.

Lin Heng thought the talk would last a long time, but he didn't expect that they would fall asleep in just a few minutes.

"How strange!" Lin Heng covered them with the quilt with some confusion.

After making the bed, Xiulan added firewood to the fireplace as if nothing had happened. She would not tell Lin Heng that she had deliberately let the children play wildly for a while today.

"Sleep, sleep, I'm finally in bed!"

Lin Heng turned off the light and quickly got into bed.

Xiulan took the initiative to get into her arms, hugged Lin Heng's neck with both hands, looked at her shyly and whispered: "Hubby, I miss you so much."

As she spoke, she took the initiative to kiss him, and Lin Heng turned over and held her in his arms. At night, he not only tasted the big white flour buns carefully for a long time, but also some other foods.

Before they knew it, a long time had passed. After they had fed each other well, they fell into a deep sleep. (End of this chapter)
