Chapter 176 Bringing my wife to the city again
When I walked into the store, Wang Zhou was lighting a fire in the yard. When he saw Lin Heng, he quickly greeted him: "Brother Lin."
"Is everything going on in the store lately?" Lin Heng asked with a smile.
Wang Zhou shook his head: "Everything is normal, but there are fewer people coming to sell goods recently, which is far less than the previous month."
As he said that, he went over and brought the ledger for Lin Heng to check.
Lin Heng took a look, and thanks to his excellent memory after his rebirth, he quickly figured out the approximate number.
Fortunately, there won’t be much fluctuation this month, and the profit will not be much different from last month.
But starting next month, it is estimated that there will be a sharp drop.
"Where's my fireplace? Didn't you bring it up?" Lin Heng asked.
"No movement." Wang Zhou shook his head.
Lin Heng nodded: "Then it will probably take a few days for the delivery to be delivered."
He had asked wholesaler Li Guoqiang to buy him a fireplace, but he probably wasn't willing to make a separate trip to deliver it to him.
After chatting for a while, Lin Heng saw Grandpa Gao coming out of the room wearing a coat and hurried over.
Grandpa Gao looked at him and smiled, "Xiao Lin, the leopard meat you sent me last time is really useful. After eating it, I feel a little hot when I sleep these days, and my limbs have strength."
Lin Heng smiled and said, "As long as it's useful, I'll pick you up to go hunting in the mountains when it snows again."
Grandpa Gao nodded: "Okay, I just feel like doing something. You can get a carriage to pick me up when the time comes."
After playing here for half a day, Lin Heng went to take a look at the town and returned home at noon.
"You're back so soon?" Xiulan asked curiously.
Lin Heng nodded: "I went down mainly to see if the fireplace had arrived, but it turned out that the fireplace still hadn't arrived.
Tomorrow you and Xiaoxia will come with me to the city, and we can buy some clothes while we do business."
He has three things to do tomorrow: sell musk; discuss with Li Guoqiang and ask him to come up early to get a batch of electrical wires, switches and light bulbs; and buy a set of winter clothes for Xiulan, Xiaoxia and himself.
In fact, he wanted to register an agricultural company recently, but when he thought about the huge amount of things to do, he decided to wait for a while.
Moreover, registering a company is more complicated than going through the procedures for individual business operators.
"Okay." Xiulan nodded in agreement.
In the afternoon, Lin Heng went to see the musk deer. The male musk deer did not eat, but just drank two sips of water.
Lin Heng took a look and thought that it was caused by stress and should be better in two days.
The female musk deer stopped roaring after mating. I made a bowl of corn porridge for it and it ate it with great relish.
When his father came back from Hongfeng Mountain, Lin Heng told them about this matter and asked them if there was anything they could help buy.
"No, just don't buy anything randomly." Father Lin shook his head.
Lin's mother also advised: "Your father and I both have clothes, so you should save the money. There will be many places to spend money in the future."
"Okay." Lin Heng spread his hands.
Li Shiwei said: "Lin Heng, bring me two hairpins and a hair flower."
His elder brother Lin Yue also handed him twenty yuan and asked him to buy three pairs of cotton shoes for his three sons from the city.
"No problem." Lin Heng nodded.
After packing up the carriage in advance, Lin Heng took his wife and daughter downstairs in the carriage early the next morning.
When we arrived in town, we called Wang Zhou along.
Wang Zhou smiled and took the whip from his hand and said, "Brother Lin, you sit in the back and take care of the baby, I will drive the car."
"Okay." Lin Heng nodded and did not refuse.
Sitting in the back truck bed holding Xiaoxia.
It took him two hours to reach the city, and he first went to the purchasing station to sell musk.
The current price of musk is 30 yuan per gram, and he sold 34 grams for 1,020 yuan.
He did not ask Jin Fuqiang for help in selling musk. When the musk deer production scale increases in the future, he will directly contact pharmaceutical companies to sign orders, and the price will be higher.
"Let's go buy clothes." After coming out, Lin Heng looked at Xiulan and Xiaoxia and said.
"Okay!" Xiulan nodded.
It was Xiaoxia’s first time in the city. She held Xiulan timidly and looked at the passers-by with her big eyes.
The cities in the 1980s were also very dilapidated, but they were still very new to the rural people.
He drove the carriage to deposit the money first, and then went to the mall. He asked Wang Zhou to watch the carriage while Lin Heng took Xiulan and her daughter into the mall.
"Take your time and don't rush."
Lin Heng took Xiulan and Xiaoxia for a slow stroll.
"This sweater is nice. It's only six dollars, why not buy it?" Lin Heng said, looking at a high-necked white women's sweater.
"Okay." Xiulan nodded. She thought this sweater was pretty good.
She agreed to go shopping for clothes with Lin Heng and didn't act shy.
Even in the largest shopping mall in the city, the variety of clothes was still a little overwhelming for Lin Heng.
He was not very satisfied with the clothes that Xiulan thought were very nice. The colors and styles of clothes of this era were too monotonous.
Walking into a children's clothing store, Lin Heng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he pointed at a cotton jacket and said, "This is good, I'll buy it for Xiaoxia."
He was pointing at a large Northeastern flowery jacket printed with a large number of peonies.
"Let her try it on!" Xiulan said with a smile. The dress was indeed quite festive.
This red flowered cotton jacket does not have the modern style of vertical buttons, but the ancient style of slanted collar, with buttons running diagonally from the chin to the right chest and down from the right waist.
And the buttons are the old-fashioned cloth buttons, which have a retro feel.
When Xiaoxia put it on, there was an inexplicable festive feeling. She looked very cute, like a walking elf.
"Not bad, let's buy this one." Xiulan nodded.
"How much is this, boss?" Lin Heng turned his head and asked.
"This set costs 15 yuan, and I can give her a small flower hat." The female boss said with a smile.
"Give me another pair of gloves." Lin Heng bargained.
After some negotiation, Lin Heng successfully got a pair of woolen gloves for his daughter.
Then he bought her a pair of cotton shoes and picked out clothes for Xiulan.
Lin Hengxian bought two pairs of flesh-colored stockings, which made Xiulan roll her eyes.
"This wool coat is pretty good, what do you think?"
After searching for a while, Lin Heng found a pretty good mid-length khaki wool coat.
Xiulan looked at the price tag and persuaded, "Forget it. I'd better buy a cotton-padded jacket. This dress is a bit expensive."
This wool coat actually costs sixty yuan. It looks good, but it is too expensive and she is reluctant to spend so much money.
"Put it on and see first." Lin Heng said with a smile.
"Of course it will look good. Your wife is so pretty that she will look good in anything." The saleswoman next to her said with a smile.
Lin Heng asked Xiulan to change into the dress. After putting it on, she looked much more beautiful.
"I'll buy a scarf if you give me one." Lin Heng said with a wave of his hand.
"Okay, I'll pack it for you." The saleswoman's eyes lit up. It was rare to see such a generous customer.
In comparison, an ordinary scarf is nothing.
After coming out with the clothes, Xiulan was happy and helpless. She hugged Lin Heng's arm and said, "This is my New Year's clothes. I won't buy any for the New Year."
Lin Heng smiled and nodded: "That's fine, I'll buy you a cheaper cotton jacket."
Xiulan couldn't persuade him, and couldn't bear to hit him, so she could only buy him a red cotton jacket with white plum blossoms printed on it.
This time it was a normal vertical buttoned cotton jacket, which gave Xiulan a simple and elegant look.
Then I bought two pairs of cotton trousers, one pure black and one with small red roses on them.
As for shoes, I bought Xiulan a pair of black cotton shoes and a pair of brown mid-calf boots.
"Are you happy now?" Xiulan squeezed Lin Heng's hand and said with pursed lips.
The shoes and clothes I bought for her and her daughter cost a total of 138 yuan, which was too extravagant.
"You said you won't buy it during the New Year, so you must buy something better." Lin Heng said with a smile and spread his hands.
"Okay, then I'll pick one for you." Xiulan looked at him and said.
Lin Heng loves the color black, so Xiulan bought him a black military coat and a navy blue cotton jacket.
He bought two pairs of solid-colored cotton pants at random, and Lin Heng picked out a pair of brown woolen boots and a pair of ordinary cotton shoes.
His whole set cost 102 yuan, which was not very expensive. After all, they were all cotton clothes, so they couldn't be that expensive.
Finally, I bought a pair of cotton shoes for my parents and Caiyun, and also bought all the things that my family asked me to bring back.
"It's too expensive. I still like the place you took me to the first time." Xiulan shook her head as they walked out of the mall.
"As long as you are happy, enjoy yourself and don't think too much." Lin Heng said with a smile while holding her hand.
This is the most upscale place in Taibai City, so the clothes are naturally not cheap.
But he was actually not very satisfied. If transportation were not inconvenient now, he really wanted to take them to Ancheng to buy clothes.
"Of course I'm happy, but I feel bad about the money." Xiulan said softly. How could she not be happy when the person she loved the most bought clothes for her? She was so happy.
After handing the things to Wang Zhou, Lin Heng took the mother and daughter to the City Center Hospital for a full-body check-up.
"There's no need for that. Xiaoxia and I are fine." Xiulan said with a pursed mouth.
Lin Heng shook his head and said firmly: "That won't work. We can only know if it's good after a checkup. I will bring you and your parents for a checkup every year in the future."
Rural people generally have this mentality, and they don't dare to go to the hospital because they feel sorry for the money. But sometimes it is easy to delay a minor illness and turn it into a major one.
After Lin Heng explained these principles to Xiulan, she understood and went to the hospital with Lin Heng.
After a round of examinations at the Central Hospital, the results showed that all three were healthy, except for Xiulan's slightly low blood sugar.
Xiaoxia also gave her oral polio vaccine, which is very effective in preventing the occurrence of polio.
After leaving the hospital, Xiaoxia was still lying in Lin Heng's arms, her eyes were red and she had a piece of candy in her mouth.
"Bad boy~" Xiaoxia said angrily, pointing in the direction of the hospital.
She was crying in pain when she had her blood drawn for tests just now.
"Yeah, they are bad~" Lin Heng agreed with a smile. She hadn't heard Xiaoxia cry so loudly in a long time. It was really a bit funny.
Xiulan looked at her watch and said, "What else do we need to do next? It's almost one o'clock."
Lin Heng thought for a moment and said, "Let's go have a meal first, and then go shopping in the afternoon and leave."
After finding Wang Zhou, the four of them ate some cold noodles and steamed buns with vegetables together.
After dinner, I went to find Li Chengguo in the afternoon. When he saw Lin Heng, he immediately greeted him with a smile: "Boss Lin, why did you come down in person?"
"I took my wife and daughter to buy some things and go to the hospital for a check-up, and talked about something by the way." Lin Heng said casually.
"You two are such a good match, and the girl is pretty too. Come in and sit down quickly." Li Chengguo said with a smile. He was still a little amazed by Xiulan's appearance.
Xiulan simply drew her eyebrows and put on lipstick, but her regular facial features, face shape and fair skin made her instantly attractive to 90% of women.
"That's not necessary. I'll leave after I finish talking about things."
Lin Heng shook his head and asked again: "Did you buy my fireplace?"
"Now that we have it, come with me." Li Chengguo led three people into the warehouse.
There are several beautiful black fireplaces here, each in a different shape.
"You said you wanted a rectangular one, so I'm going to pull this up for you," Li Chengguo said, pointing at one of them.
Lin Heng lifted it up. This black fireplace must weigh at least 150 kilograms, and with the chimney it must weigh 200 to 300 kilograms.
What makes him most satisfied with this fireplace is that he can watch the fire. The lid is inlaid with high-temperature resistant crystal, and he can still see the fire through the crystal after closing the lid of the kettle.
In fact, many families build their own fireplaces with bricks. He chose to buy one so that he could watch the fire and the other so that there would be no smoke in the house.
The kind of fireplaces you build yourself will produce smoke, but this one is made of steel and is fully enclosed, so there will be no such problem.
"How much is it?" Lin Heng asked. He was satisfied with the item.
Li Guocheng said, "One hundred yuan. This high-temperature resistant crystal is valuable. Otherwise, you can take this furnace for sixty yuan. I really didn't make a penny from this furnace that we have cooperated on for a long time."
Lin Heng was quite satisfied with the price, and then took out the list of goods and handed it to him: "Our village has electricity, and we need to buy some wires, switches and light bulbs. Get me a batch according to the list and I will deliver it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
"That's no problem. Leave it to me. I'll deliver it to you tomorrow." Li Chengguo grinned and agreed.
After finishing this, Lin Heng chatted for a while and then went home.
He didn't go to Ge Qingshan's place as he was there with his wife and kids today. Let's talk about it next time. Mainly, there is nothing much to teach. Archery requires a lot of practice and there are not many skills.
When they returned to Hongfeng Village, the sky was so dark that only the five fingers could be seen clearly.
I made a fire as soon as I got home. It was so cold that I almost froze to death.
The next morning, Lin Heng gave them the things he brought with him.
"You have clothes, but you don't have shoes." Lin Heng handed the cotton shoes to his parents and sister.
"Thank you, second brother!" Caiyun grinned.
Lin's father and mother were also very happy, as they really needed a pair of good cotton shoes.
"Thank you, son~" Father Lin was not polite.
Lin's mother tried them on her feet, and her face was full of love.
"As long as you like it." Lin Heng grinned. He knew that his parents were that kind of people. They would never tell him when they needed something and they didn't want him to spend money recklessly.
Father Lin looked at him and said, "The work at Red Maple Mountain will probably be finished tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Have you figured out what to do next?"
Lin Heng nodded: "I have thought about it, I will arrange it when the time comes."
"Just make up your mind. You can't be without work. You have to pay a lot of money every day."
Lin Heng nodded and chatted for a few more words. Lin's mother planned to make vermicelli tomorrow and asked everyone to help.
At noon, Lin Heng couldn't wait to drive the carriage to the town. He wanted to take his fireplace home and install it as soon as possible. There was no fireplace in the bedroom and it was too cold at night.
