When he returned home, Lin Heng saw his three children and three children from the village playing house together.

He glanced at it without paying much attention, then walked into the house and came to Xiulan.

Xiulan was sewing clothes in front of the sewing machine in the study with her back to the study door, and did not notice that he came back.

She was wearing a thin red cotton jacket at home and her hair was tied into a high ponytail. She didn't notice Lin Heng walking behind her and was concentrating on sewing clothes.

"So focused!" Lin Heng put his shoulders on hers and said with a smile.

Xiulan's body trembled suddenly, she turned her head and slapped him, saying angrily: "You scared me to death, I almost got my hand pricked by a needle."

"Let me see." Lin Heng picked up her white little hand and looked at it.

"No." Xiulan snorted and took her hand back, continuing, "If you have nothing to do, just stay aside. The protective clothing I made for my son will be finished soon."

"Okay." Lin Heng walked to the side, took a bench and sat down.

The protective clothing made by Xiulan was made by dismantling Lin Heng’s old clothes. When the child wears the protective clothing, the clothes on his body can last for two more days.

Xiulan was concentrating on making clothes, while Lin Heng looked at them from the side and talked to her for a while.

After listening to this, Xiulan looked up and asked, "Are you going to the city again in the next two days?"

"Yes, we do have to go into the city. We'll be busy for a while." Lin Heng nodded.

"Got it." Xiulan nodded, cut the thread, picked up the clothes, looked at them and asked, "How is it?"

"My wife's cooking skills are really good." Lin Heng exclaimed.

"Put away the sewing machine for me. I'll go out and let them try it." Xiulan said softly, and went out with the clothes.

Lin Heng put away the sewing machine, looked at the decorative deer antlers he had hung on the wall, and returned to the main room fireplace to warm himself.

After Xiulan finished testing the child, she came in and asked, "What's for dinner?"

"Noodles, please." Lin Heng said after thinking for a while.

"Okay." Xiulan nodded and sat down next to him.

Not knowing what to do, Lin Heng made some lake tea and added some firewood to the fireplace.

After sitting for a while, he went to the backyard and saw that the fish in the clear pond were gradually becoming happy and would rush over if a leaf was thrown to them.

There was nothing to do at home, so Lin Heng could only walk around. There was basically no way for him to do housework, as Xiulan cleaned the house inside and out.

Although it was already spring, it still got dark quickly. After dinner, Lin Heng went straight back to his bedroom to rest.

After telling stories to the children and putting them to sleep, Lin Heng turned off the lights and held Xiulan in his arms to make love.

With a beautiful and gentle wife, he would naturally be more happy and enhance their relationship.

Xiulan also responded to him positively. Both of them exercised regularly, so their happiness lasted longer.

The next morning, after breakfast, Lin Heng and Xiulan took the children to the Hongfeng Mountain greenhouse to grow seedlings.

Facts have proved that the germination rate is higher after raising seedlings in this way, which is much better than planting directly in the fields.

After staying at home for two days, Lin Heng went into the city again. He came to the factory and took a look as usual, and then went to look for the excavator.

In those days, it was difficult for private individuals to own an excavator, so he had to find a public one. After learning the specific price, he chose to rent one.

It is actually possible to go back to the village and set off stone cannons. These days the control of explosives is not strict and they can be easily bought.

It would even be cheaper to fire a stone cannon and then hire someone to build the road, but the disadvantage is that it would take too long.

He stayed in the city for one night and returned to the village with the excavator early the next morning. That day happened to be a good day.

The excavator operator's surname was Li, and Lin Heng told him about his general idea.

"Hey, Boss Lin, you have a big investment. This pig farm is not small." Master Li gave a thumbs up.

"It's just some messing around." Lin Heng said.

"You are too modest, boss. The fact that you can afford to buy a truck is something most people can't compare to." Master Li smiled and shook his head.

After saying that, he stopped talking nonsense and went upstairs to start working. Lin Heng even set off a string of firecrackers to celebrate and wish for good luck.

He had been watching here all morning to see the master's level and whether he understood what he meant.

He felt relieved only after he was sure that there were basically no problems, and he stayed here to watch for the next two days.

The excavator took five days to dig the road, and then according to Lin Heng's instructions, it dug out five platforms of more than 100 square meters and fifteen platforms of 50 to 60 square meters in the ditch.

While Lin Heng was watching here, he also drove a truck to pull back several stones. He used the stones to lay a layer on the excavated road and platform, so that it would not collapse easily and would not be easily washed away by rain.

Cementation is not possible as it is too expensive. This is just a temporary breeding site and it is not worth investing so much.

At the same time, while the excavator was digging the road and building the platform, Lin Heng also invited people from the village to work, and asked them to surround the area he had designated with trees and thorns.

They also cut down some trees and planted some nettle seeds.

These nettles are not used to protect against animals, but against some people.

Lin Heng knew very well that no matter how kind he was to the villagers, there would always be some people who were jealous. And there were also some people who you didn't even know how you offended them, and they would hold a grudge against you.

Maybe it won’t show up normally, but you never know, it might take advantage of you when you’re not paying attention.

With these nettles, it is much more difficult for people to pass through. If a circle of barbed wire is added inside, it will be safer.

We must always be on guard against others. Many families in rural areas plant nettles in front of and behind their homes to guard against bad people with impure intentions.

After paving the road with stones and laying several platforms, Lin Heng went into the city to pull the barbed wire.

Then we also brought back some cement, sand and gravel. Some concrete is definitely needed to erect the wire mesh, otherwise it will not be firmly fixed and the pigs will easily break it.

He bought a 5 mm thick painted wire mesh, which was of very good quality.

Even so, he had to set up some obstacles such as thorns near the inside of the wire fence to prevent the pigs from getting close, otherwise there would still be the risk of being damaged by the pigs.

In the following days, except for eating and staying at home at night, Lin Heng spent the rest of his time busy at the pig farm.

For things like putting up barbed wire, you have to be there to watch and help, otherwise the workers will just do it blindly on their own and think “I think I can do it.”

It's not a personality problem. Being lazy is human nature, especially when you're not doing it for your family and it's better to just watch.

On March 13, the excavator dug out all the platforms. Lin Heng then asked him to dig the original ravine drainage area larger to prevent water from rising during the flood season.

Then they had an excavator dig a huge reservoir at the top, built with cement and red bricks, to store all the water in the ditch, so there was no need to worry about water use here.

The water flow in this ditch looks small, but after being dug deeper, its storage capacity is quite strong. It stored about five cubic meters of water in half a day. Lin Heng thinks this is completely sufficient.

Soon the excavator finished Lin Heng's work, but Lin Heng did not let him go. Instead, he went to the village and built a road.

This was the request of the village party secretary Tian Dongfu. He would give Lin Heng money and would not let him suffer any loss.

He had an excavator dig the road to the village committee, then repaired the damaged road and leveled the area near the ginkgo tree.

Finally, they leveled a piece of land at the entrance of the village, which would be used for raising pigs by the cooperative.

Then his eldest brother and third father hired an excavator to dig a fish pond. Lin Heng did not ask for money and let the excavator dig the fish pond for them. His eldest brother's family dug a pond of one acre, and his third father's family dug half an acre.

…

"Thank you for troubling Master Li these days. You've been working day and night."

That morning, Lin Heng handed two packs of cigarettes to Master Li in the car and said with a smile.

"What I should do is to be flattered by your hospitality, Mr. Lin." Master Li took the cigarette and said with a smile.

He has been having very good food these days, and has cigarettes and alcohol, so he is enjoying himself and is working very hard.

"No way." Lin Heng waved his hand, said a few more words to him, and drove back to the city with him.

The money spent on hiring the excavator this time was not small. It cost him two thousand yuan in total, not including the one thousand yuan spent on building the road in the village.

Last time, the cost was over two thousand and it included paving the road, but this time it was just simple digging.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Although it is expensive, fortunately the speed is very fast, which is acceptable.

After settling the money, Lin Heng did not rush back, but went to communicate with the people at the animal husbandry station.

What Lin Heng didn't expect was that this time the cooperation was easily negotiated.

The Animal Husbandry Station decided to order feed from Lin Heng on a long-term basis, and the contract was signed directly.

They said that after research, they found that Lin Heng’s feed was of good quality and cheap, so they placed an order decisively and signed a three-year contract at one time.

This made Lin Heng overjoyed. He didn't expect that he would be successful after just a few dinners. It seems that the leaders of this animal husbandry station are all good people.

He immediately expressed that he also wanted to order piglets from the animal husbandry station, ordering 2,000 at a time.

For him, this matter is not too big of a deal. It would definitely be better to order quarantined ones from the animal husbandry station.

After confirming this matter, Lin Heng couldn't wait to return to the factory.

"Wang Zhou, where is Lin Hai? Is he here?" Lin Heng asked with a smile.

"He's out. He probably won't be back for another two days."

After Wang Zhou responded, he looked at Lin Heng curiously, "Brother Lin, what good news makes you so happy?"

Lin Heng patted Wang Zhou on the shoulder and said with a smile: "We have negotiated the first business for our factory, which is with the animal husbandry station in the city that specializes in breeding technology.

If nothing goes wrong, they can earn 30,000 yuan a year from feed, which is a great thing for the newly established small factory.

Wang Zhou smiled excitedly upon hearing this and clapped his hands, saying, "Besides, with the contract from the animal husbandry station, we can use this name when we sell feed in other places, which will make it much easier to promote it."

"You are absolutely right. I believe the promotion will be faster this way." Lin Heng nodded.

It can be said that with this order, at least he doesn't have to keep investing money in the factory.

"Brother Lin, do you think we should tell all the employees and make them happy?" Wang Zhou asked again.

Lin Heng thought about it and shook his head: "Not for now, let's announce it at the meeting later, keep it secret for now."

There is no need to let employees know too much. Being so eager will make them appear unstable.

"Okay, I understand." Wang Zhou nodded.

Lin Heng returned to the office, drank two cups of tea, rested for a while, and then went out again.

He drove to the seed station, and the ordered astragalus seeds had arrived. He immediately loaded the seeds and plastic film into the truck and took them back.

These were the Astragalus seeds that had been ordered by the village cooperative. Lin Heng brought them back to the village and went to find the village party secretary.

"Finally I'm back. I'll find someone to unload the goods now."

Tian Dongfu said with a smile, and then he patted Lin Heng on the shoulder, "I'll need your help and guidance on how to sow and plant seeds later."

"That's no problem. Leave it to me." Lin Heng agreed happily.

"Besides this, have you reserved the piglet?" Tian Dongfu asked again.

"No, I see you haven't even repaired the pigsty." Lin Heng shook his head.

"Okay then, we can talk about it later." Tian Dongfu nodded.

Then he asked someone to unload the seeds and plastic film.

After Lin Heng finished his work here, he drove to Hongfeng Mountain and informed his parents of the good news.

Father Lin was a little shocked when he heard about it: "Really? Doesn't that mean your factory will also be successful? It will be another profitable project."

"It's unbelievable. I no longer understand you, my son. It seems that making money is so easy." Mother Lin shook her head.

"Good luck." Lin Heng smiled. He knew that a large part of the reason was due to the times.

Just like many wealthy people who have risen in this era, it’s not that they are so great, but they were lucky enough to be in the right era and did things that were in line with the development of the times.

"Awesome! This way my son will really become a big boss." Lin's mother exclaimed.

"When I have money in a few years, I will demolish the old house and build a small Western-style building for you two to live in." Lin Heng said with a smile.

After talking with his parents, he ran back. The pig farm was now being looked after by his eldest brother and third father, so there wouldn't be any problems.

The barbed wire fence over there has been built, and the pig pen is now being built.

Those platforms were specially used to build pig pens and warehouses. Even if the pigs were allowed to roam freely, there must be a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

In addition to pig pens, living quarters and warehouses are also necessary. At that time, someone will live there for a long time to feed the pigs.

When Lin Heng returned home, he couldn't wait to share this matter with Xiulan.

"So impressive?" Xiulan was a little shocked. She thought Lin Heng would suffer losses for a while.

"Of course, don't you see who I am?" Lin Heng smiled while pinching Xiulan's shoulders.

"Stop being so cocky." Xiulan pinched his thick face, then said, "Eat something, we'll celebrate tonight."

"How about having hotpot and calling mom and dad over as well." Lin Heng picked up Xiulan again.

"Ah...put me down!" Xiulan said speechlessly, hugging Lin Heng's neck with her arms.

Lin Heng hugged her tightly in his arms and hugged her, then he said, "I want to hug my wife when I'm happy."

"Just like a child." Xiulan shook her head and pulled him out to prepare the ingredients.
