Chapter 95: Introducing a Wife to My Cousin

"Brother Tang, you are too cruel. You took all the mushrooms."

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

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

Lin Heng suddenly became coy: "Yes, she is so pretty, who wouldn't like her? Didn't you propose marriage to her back then, cousin?"

"So, you see, it's been two or three years, and she's still not married. She's obviously waiting for a good 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'm waiting for a good price, I still want to give it a try. Maybe I can impress her." Lin Hai added that he is the same age as Lin Heng, just a few months younger, and has always been worried about finding a wife.

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

Although Lin Hai was unsuccessful in his previous life and ended up marrying a woman from another village, who knows if his butterfly effect will make him successful in this life.

So it is better to dissuade them in time.

"Better? Who?" Lin Hai's eyes widened. There were not many pretty girls in the village, how could there be someone better? Lin Heng turned his head and glanced at him, then smiled and said, "Tian Mei, who teaches in the village, is not married yet. Why don't you go after her? Isn't she better than Jin Yan?"

"Ah, that's the village party secretary's youngest daughter, she doesn't like me." When Lin Hai heard it was this person, he shook his head repeatedly.

"Don't be in a hurry to deny yourself. If you think it's impossible, how can you have the courage to pursue it?" Lin Heng was speechless.

Lin Hai is a typical example of being too self-deprecating. He has already rejected the other person before he has even tried. He feels that the other person is out of his reach before he has even made contact with the other person and dares not get close.

It is often because of this that beautiful women are chased away by those daring thugs and end up wasting their lives.

He remembered that in his previous life, Tian Mei was deceived by a second-rate guy from the next village in this way, and her father was almost angry to death.

"Forget it, you deny yourself. Even if I were Zhuge Liang, I would be helpless." Lin Heng shook his head and didn't want to say anything more.

Lin Hai is good-looking, but he is too introverted and his family background is average, so he has never found a wife.

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

Tian Mei is the ideal girl in the hearts of many men in the village. She is quiet, elegant, cultured and knowledgeable, so much so that many people don't even have the courage to approach her, let alone have any improper thoughts about her.

Lin Heng had tried before he met Xiulan in his previous life, but was rejected. It was not until later that she was abducted by a gangster from the neighboring village that he learned the reason from the gangster.

Lin Heng sighed and shook his head, "I don't want to say it anymore. You already think you're no longer capable, so what else can I say?"

Shaking his head, he walked forward.

Lin Hai quickly chased after him and held Lin Heng's arm: "Cousin, my good cousin, I kneel down in front of you, please teach me, if you can really catch her, you will be my second parent, and I will obey you from now on."

After all, they were childhood friends, so Lin Hai was really shameless, kneeling down as he spoke. If he could really marry a good wife, he would have to kowtow to his cousin, not to mention kneeling down.

"You are so shameless. Stop kneeling. If my dad sees me, he will beat me to death." Lin Heng kicked Lin Hai and he quickly jumped away.

"So have you agreed, cousin?" Lin Hai asked with a smile.

Lin Heng glanced at him and said, "Of course, if I don't help you, who else can I help?"

Glancing at Lin Hai, Lin Heng said, "First, you have to shave yourself and dress neatly.

Secondly, you have to study history, especially the history of Qin, Han and Three Kingdoms, which Tian Mei likes the most.

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

Lin Hai was still wondering how his cousin knew all this, but when he heard the last sentence he suddenly said, "Ah, teach her a lesson? Won't that 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.

Besides, Tian Mei is the type who never gives up. If you defeat her miserably, it will only arouse her competitive spirit and she will come to you to continue playing chess. Wouldn't it be possible for you to get to know each other better after a few rounds of playing chess with her?"

"Damn, Zheli, no wonder you were able to pursue Sister Xiulan, with your methods, I just regret that I didn't ask you for advice earlier."

Lin Hai was shocked. It turned out that there was a way to pursue girls. The door to a new world was opened.

"That's nothing." Lin Heng shook his head, "But you have to remember, the first few times you kill her, it's enough to defeat her miserably, and then you have to keep her hanging, give her some hope, but make sure she can't win.

Then you should read some history during this time. I have a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms. You can read it and then ask her how to help Liu Bei restore the Han Dynasty. You should be a staunch supporter of the Han Dynasty. "

Lin Hai was already astounded by her beauty, and thought it was no wonder that his cousin had become so rich, as he had so many tricks up his sleeve to pursue a woman.

"And then?" Seeing that Lin Heng didn't say anything, Lin Hai felt itchy in his heart and couldn't wait to hear what was to come.

"Then what? Just do these first. Especially study. It doesn't matter if you only have an elementary school education, but you really need to study hard. Not only history, but also other books. Be a useful person and make yourself a better person, otherwise everything will be in vain."

Lin Heng shook his head. He felt that Lin Hai's IQ must be pretty good since he could play chess on his own to that level. If he made some changes, his future would be promising.

He will also need help in his future breeding and business, and those who have played together since childhood and know each other well are always better than strangers.

"Don't worry, cousin. I will definitely do as you say." Lin Hai patted his chest and promised.

But he suddenly hesitated again: "Cousin, if your village party secretary finds out, will he skin me alive?"

"You are afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind, so just forget about women." Lin Heng rolled his eyes.

Village Party Secretary Tian Dongfu is a very open-minded person who advocates free love and freedom of marriage. Otherwise, his daughter would not have been abducted by a gangster in her 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 about it and nodded vigorously: "I understand, cousin, I will work hard."

Lin Heng waved his hand and looked around, feeling a little puzzled. Where was Xiulan? He had been walking all the way but couldn’t find her. Did she go back?

That shouldn’t be the case. She will definitely wait for me unless something happens.

"Xiu Lan!!"

He called out as he searched.

"sister in law!"

Lin Hai was also helping to look around in the woods.

“Woof woof~”

Xiongba's voice came from a distance, and Lin Heng hurried over.

"I'm here."

Xiulan responded.

"Are you injured?" Lin Heng noticed something was wrong from a distance. Xiulan was sitting on a rock with her shoes off.

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

Lin Heng ran over to check and found that all the skin on Xiulan's ankle had been scraped off, with 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 and got scratched by a rock, and my clothes were a little torn." Xiulan shook her head and said.

Lin Heng felt so distressed that he blew gently: "Does it still hurt?"

"Yeah, it hurts a little." Xiulan nodded gently, and then said, "I'm afraid my daughter will run around, so I haven't moved. Go get me some cat ear powder and apply it on it."

Rural people, when they get injured in the wild, will smear the brown powder on the back of cat ears.

This is a strange plant that grows on stone and looks like cat ears.

The scientific name of this plant is Pyrrosia longifolia. 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. Since there is no iodine or alcohol, everyone uses this and it works pretty well.

"You can't do that. There's still dirt in the meat. You have to rinse it clean."

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

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

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

"Cousin, don't look for me anymore. I'm coming."

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

Xiulan shook her head to indicate that she was fine.

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

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

"I want my daddy." Xiaoxia shook her head and backed away, refusing to be hugged.

"I want to hug my mother. Your mother 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: "Then let's go."

"I'll pull you." Lin Hai had no choice but to pull Xiaoxia away.

Lin Heng supported Xiulan. After taking just one or two steps, Xiulan gasped softly in pain.

"Let me carry you on my back. Don't try to be so stubborn." Lin Heng glanced at Xiulan and carried her on his back.

Xiulan wanted to say no, but Lin Heng had already picked her up by the legs, so she could only hold 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 100 pounds. There's no way I can't carry you. Don't worry."

Lin Heng smiled and said that carrying his wife on his back was a completely different feeling, both mentally and physically feeling comfortable.

"This is the nth time I've 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, the previous ones were before we got married."

Lin Heng thought about it and it seemed to be true. He had never carried his wife on his back since they got married, but he had hugged her a few times.

Lin Hai couldn't stand what the two people said. He thought that he must win Tian Mei over, and then he would carry his wife on his back to show their love.

After walking a distance with his wife on his back, Lin Heng would feel it and carry his wife a little higher for fear that her feet would touch the ground.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

At the same time, I couldn't help but feel the amazing elasticity of the back, which was completely different from the usual feeling.

Xiulan didn't say anything, but just gently bit Lin Heng's ear. Her cheeks felt a little hot, and she felt that he did it on purpose.

But her cousin Lin Hai was nearby, so she couldn't say anything.

The place for picking mushrooms was near the house, so 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. Come to my house when you have time."

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

"Be careful, honey." Lin Heng said, carefully placing Xiulan on the chair.

After Xiulan sat down, she rolled her eyes at Lin Heng and said, "Is it comfortable?"

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

Xiulan glared at him and said, "Stop talking nonsense. You are so ungrateful. Go get some water."

"Okay." Lin Heng went to fetch some clean water and a small handkerchief and washed the dirt off Xiulan's wound.

"You were still talking about me this morning, but now you're injured yourself. Be more careful next time."

Lin Heng looked at his wife's painful little mouth sucking in cold air and said sarcastically with a smile.

Xiulan pouted and said, "Don't blame me. The road is too slippery."

After using water to wash away the mud on the wound, Lin Heng dipped a little white wine on a handkerchief and dropped it on the wound for disinfection.

“It hurts!”

Xiulan cried out in pain and raised her foot, almost putting it into Lin Heng's mouth.

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

"Honey, I'm sorry, it hurts a little." Xiulan said embarrassedly.

"If it doesn't hurt, it will fester." Lin Heng shook his head and dripped a little wine again. This time he held on to it and didn't let his foot move.

"Okay, just wait for it to dry and form a scab. You can't cover it up in the summer." Lin Heng said that although his ankle was swollen, it should be no big deal.

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

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 plant in the backyard.

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

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

After planting the grape vines, Lin Heng returned to the front yard to deal with the mushrooms.

He poured the worm-infested chanterelles into the pot and fed them to the badger cub. After taking a look, the cub ran over to eat and was no longer afraid of Lin Heng.

Although they were both cubs, the wild cat was completely different. It even roared when people approached it, which made Lin Heng want to give it a big fight.

After picking up the mushrooms, it was getting dark. Lin Heng looked at Xiulan and asked, "What are you having for dinner? I'll make it."

"No need to cook. We still have a few white flour steamed buns from this morning. Just pick some spinach and make some soup." Xiulan said.

"Okay." Lin Heng nodded and went to his parents' side to pick some spinach.

"I heard that Xiulan sprained her foot. Did you carry her back?" Lin's mother asked when she saw Lin Heng.

"Yes, but it's nothing." Lin Heng nodded.

"Brother, do you want to take the sheep back?" Caiyun asked after coming back from herding cattle, holding the lamb from Lin Heng's family in her hand.

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

Caiyun guessed that this was the case and shook her head speechlessly: "Then I have to give you some points for the New Year sheep."

"Of course, I won't treat you unfairly." Lin Heng nodded, took the spinach and ran away.

After making dinner and the family of three finished eating, Lin Heng gave his daughter a bath, changed her into clean clothes and coaxed her to bed.

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

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

Fengshu Village Primary School is located on a small empty hillside east of the village, quite far away from the farmers' homes.

Murakami Elementary School was not surrounded by a wall like later generations. There was no money to build such a wall. The ground was all made of dirt, and only the house was made of red bricks, but it was not painted.

Lin Heng arrived early, and Murakami's students had not arrived yet. Only the school's only teacher, Tian Yan, was in the office, leaning over the table writing something.

She wore a white shirt, black trousers, and flat leather shoes. Her hair was tied into two ponytails that fell from her shoulders to her chest. She had a quiet and elegant temperament, full of the vitality and drive that were unique to young intellectual women of this era.

"Excuse me, what are you doing?" Seeing Lin Heng walking to the door, Tian Yan asked in not very standard Mandarin.

Of course she knew Lin Heng, and she had heard from her father about Lin Heng's recent deeds these past two days.

"Teacher Tian, ​​I heard that there is lime here at Murakami Primary School. I want to buy some to use back home." Lin Heng said without looking away.

"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.

"Take it and use it, it's free." Tian Yan waved her hand.

Lin Heng took out a dollar and put it on the table: "It would be nice 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, but I don't know if she can continue to go. She has dropped 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 this your decision or your father's?"

"It's mine. I paid for her studies." Lin Heng nodded.

Tian Yan found it a little unbelievable that Lin Heng actually began to take studying seriously.

“That’s no problem. Even if there is one, I know the junior high school teacher in the town. I can just tell him about it.

But I am afraid that Caiyun has forgotten all the knowledge she had before, so how about this, you ask her to come to me when she has time, and I will help her review it."

Tian Yan is still very passionate about this and is now 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.

"Why are you wasting time here? Go after the students finish school at noon. They are in class and don't have time to pay attention to you."

Lin Heng looked at Lin Hai speechlessly.

"Brother, what should I say then?" Lin Hai had dark circles under his eyes. He was so excited that he couldn't sleep last night.

Lin Heng shook his head and said, "Just tell her that you heard she's very good at chess and you want to play a few games with her. That's it. Then do as I say today."

"Okay." Lin Hai nodded and turned back.

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