Chapter 240: A man must be well fed before leaving home
This tricycle is not difficult to operate, and there is no problem of overturning when driving normally. The only difficulty may be shifting gears.
After Lin Heng taught him for a while, the elder brother mastered the basics and was able to drive on the road. The same was true for Xiulan, who was clever and had no difficulty learning.
After teaching him the basics, Lin Heng still let his elder brother practice first. Xiulan could learn at any time and there was no need to rush.
After practicing for a while, Lin Heng asked his eldest brother to take him to Sandie's house in Shanghe.
"Brother Heng and Brother Yue, what are you going to do?" Lin Hai, who was planting potatoes in front of his house, asked curiously.
"Lin Heng, come in and have some water. We'll have dinner at my house tonight." Lin Heng's third mother Li Xue also greeted him with a smile. She was even more enthusiastic than his third father.
"No." Lin Heng shook his head and said, "My brother is practicing driving. It's not safe for us to go to Ancheng the day after tomorrow. I came to ask Lin Hai if you want to come with us."
Then he added: "Don't worry about the expenses, I'll cover all your food, accommodation and transportation."
"I have no objection to this. It's good to go out and see the world." Li Xue said first.
Lin Xutao also nodded: "I have no objection, it depends on Lin Hai himself."
If they had been a little hesitant before, there was nothing to hesitate about now. They were so happy that Lin Heng was willing to take Lin Hai with them.
"Of course I would. I haven't been to Ancheng yet."
Lin Heng said happily, he had not even been to Taibai city a few times, let alone Ancheng.
"That's fine. We'll set off the day after tomorrow morning." Lin Heng said with a smile.
After saying that, he asked his elder brother to continue driving, and after going two kilometers up, he turned around and went back.
At this time, many people were planting potatoes. They were envious when they saw Lin Yue learning to ride a motorcycle. Some even asked curiously about how far he could run and how fast he could run.
Lin Heng did not pretend to be arrogant. He told them gently and even gave cigarettes to some of them.
"Now you understand it?"
After practicing for half an hour, Lin Heng asked with a smile.
"This tricycle is indeed not that difficult." Lin Yue nodded.
"Then I'll go down. You can practice slowly on your own. Don't worry about the gas money."
Lin Heng said this and got out of the car. As soon as he got out of the car, Lin Tao and Lin Hai rushed to sit, but were severely scolded by his father and left.
Seeing this scene, Lin Heng did not stop it, mainly because his brother's skills were not yet proficient and it was very dangerous to sit there.
When Lin Heng returned home, he found that Tian Yan Caiyun had come to his house. They were teaching Xiaoxia how to write in the study, but Xiaoxia was reluctant to write and only wanted to scribble.
Xiulan was chatting with them nearby, having nothing to do at the moment.
"Your study is nice. It would be nice if you could have a few more books." Tian Yan looked up and said. Lin Heng's house is now more luxurious than hers, and this study makes her even more envious.
"I'm planning to buy some." Lin Heng nodded and smiled.
"Boss Lin, please buy two more history books so that I can take a look at them. I can also lend two to the reading-loving kids at school." Tian Yan said with a smile.
Lin Heng glanced at her and joked, "You teach Xiaoxia to read and write, and I will donate a thousand books to Murakami Primary School."
"Are you serious?" Tian Yan stood up and looked at Lin Heng.
Lin Heng nodded: "I was joking when I asked you to teach Xiaoxia. I was planning to buy some books for the village primary school. I can do it within two years."
Xiulan also nodded beside her: "Lin Heng said so. He said that when he made money, he would buy some extracurricular reading materials for the village primary school. He said that our rural children are ignorant and can only read more books to understand the outside world."
"My brother also told me that he often reads books himself." Caiyun also nodded.
Tian Yan didn’t know when Lin Heng became like this. He was completely different from the Lin Heng she knew before, but he was indeed much more pleasing to the eye.
Although Lin Heng never showed off his literary talent, she could tell something from Xiaoxia. Xiaoxia knew more fairy tales than she did.
Xiulan also asked her about some cultural things from time to time, and it was obvious that she was influenced by Lin Heng.
"This is no joke. I'll take care of Xiaoxia's reading and literacy education. You just wait for the donated books." Tian Yan waved her hand and said.
Lin Heng shook his head: "She is still young, she doesn't need to learn to read so early. Don't worry about the books. I said I would donate and I will definitely not break my promise."
He thought it was good for Xiulan to have a happy childhood. There was no rush for such things. It would not be too late for her to learn if she wanted to at the age of four or five.
"That's okay. I can teach her casually. She's so smart, maybe she'd want to learn on her own." Tian Yan insisted.
"That's fine." Lin Heng nodded. It was difficult for him to refuse Tian Yan's desire to teach him.
After watching Xiaoxia write for a while, Lin Heng felt that it was too difficult for his precious daughter, so he decided to teach her paper cutting when he had time.
After writing for a while, Xiulan took the opportunity to run away and pulled Lin Heng to go out and play.
But it was getting dark, so Lin Heng promised her to go out tomorrow.
After breakfast the next day, Lin Heng saw that the weather was good and prepared to take them out to play.
Xiulan was bending over and sweeping the floor in the room. Lin Heng hugged her from behind and pressed his lips against her round and full buttocks.
"Hey, what are you doing again!"
Xiulan's face suddenly turned red and she glared at Lin Heng fiercely. It was too embarrassing to be hugged so tightly from behind.
Lin Heng didn't let go, but smiled and said: "I mean, let's go out and play. I'll take you and Xiaoxia to Heihe. The scenery there is very nice."
Xiulan slapped his hand away fiercely and shook her head, saying, "It's too far. I don't want to go. Let's wait until the trees sprout."
"Okay." Lin Heng spread his hands helplessly.
"I'm going to help my parents plant potatoes later. I feel embarrassed to eat the potatoes without doing any work." Xiulan added.
"That's okay, I'm thick-skinned." Lin Heng laughed.
Xiulan glared at him, and after sweeping the floor, she took Lin Heng and Xiaoxia to the field. Her parents had almost finished planting the potatoes, and there was still a small half left on the field.
"You don't have to do anything. Go and check on the cows. They have run away along the river. Who knows where they are?" Lin's father waved his hand. He had never thought of letting Lin Heng sow the seeds.
"Let's help first, so that I won't be unable to eat potatoes later." Lin Heng joked.
"You talk as if you weren't allowed to eat because you didn't work before." Lin's mother glared at him.
"I am a filial son, so I will do it."
Lin Heng took a hoe and dug a hole with his father. Lin's mother put on leather gloves and grabbed the cow dung and threw it into the hole. Xiulan also put on a pair of gloves and placed the cut potatoes with the sprouts facing up on the cow dung.
After Lin Heng finished digging the hole, he used a hoe to cover it with soil and the planting was complete.
With the help of Lin Heng and Xiulan, the remaining work could be completed in an hour.
After resting for a while, Father Lin took the hoe and went to the field again. Lin Heng asked, "Dad, what are you going to do?"
"Nothing to do, go find cattle and sheep." Father Lin shook his head.
"All right."
Lin Heng thought he was going to dig the ground again.
After resting for a while, they got up and went home. At this time, they could only plant early potatoes, as other crops were not yet in season.
After lunch, Lin's mother asked Xiulan to do the laundry, while Lin Heng took a walk with Xiongba and Xiaoxia on the way.
Before I knew it, I had reached the junction with Shimen Village. If I walked a little further up along the wide valley on the left, I could see the temple of Guanyin, but there was usually no one in the temple except on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month.
“Moo!!”
Just as I was about to go back, I heard a cow mooing inside.
"Dad, there are cows." Xiaoxia pulled Lin Heng and walked towards the ditch.
"Then go in and take a look."
Lin Heng pulled her a little further inside, and Xiongba led the way in front. He was very excited to be able to come out and play.
“So it’s you.”
After walking a little further in, Lin Heng saw that the man herding cattle was actually Liu Ciwen. He was sitting on a rock with a book in his hand, reading it intently.
Seeing Lin Heng, he raised his head and showed an honest smile: "Brother Lin Heng, are you out for fun?"
"Yes, I'm walking the dog with my daughter." Lin Heng discovered that the book in his hand belonged to his family. He knew it must have been lent to him by his sister Caiyun.
"Brother Lin Heng, Caiyun and I are classmates, and I borrowed this book from her."
Noticing Lin Heng's gaze, Liu Ciwen hurriedly explained, appearing a little uneasy.
He and Caiyun became book friends because they both liked reading. Caiyun would lend him the books she had read, and the two would often discuss the contents of the books at school.
Now that he was discovered by Lin Heng, he felt a little embarrassed, after all, he did not have Lin Heng's consent.
Lin Heng smiled and waved his hands: "What's the big deal? Just watch yourselves. It's normal for classmates to borrow books from each other."
"Okay, thank you Brother Lin Heng." Liu Ciwen nodded quickly.
After Lin Heng chatted with him for a few sentences, he relaxed and gradually became talkative.
While they were talking, Xiaoxia was throwing stones to fetch water in the valley, and when she got tired, she would stick to Lin Heng.
"I'm leaving now. Be careful herding the cattle."
Lin Heng said while hugging Xiaoxia.
"Okay, Brother Lin Heng, you should be careful too."
Liu Ciwen stood up and said.
Lin Heng waved his hand and picked some pyracantha berries for his daughter by the stream. Xiaoxia leaned her head on Lin Heng's shoulder, tasted two, and spit them out in disgust.
"Really? I told you not to run, but now you feel tired."
Lin Heng twisted her face.
Xiaoxia blinked her eyes without saying anything. She hugged Lin Heng's neck and called him "Xiongba" from time to time, acting very coquettishly.
Lin Heng did not go home directly. Instead, he carried her to Banli Mountain for a distance. Xiaoxia, who weighed more than 20 kilograms, regarded it as weight training.
After walking a short distance, Lin Heng found the puddle where he had lost the clouded leopard skeleton a few months ago. The water had dried up, and there was no flesh left on the clouded leopard skeleton.
"Something took away part of it."
Lin Heng picked it up and found that only a leg bone was left and the spine was gone. It was different from when he put it down.
I took the skull to the stream to wash it, and in the end I only pulled out the four canine teeth and took them away, discarding the rest.
I originally wanted to make a leopard skeleton specimen, but now there is no hope.
Canine teeth are pretty good for making pendants. He had previously made wind chimes with the fangs he had obtained from hunting wild boars together with bamboo.
After taking the canine tooth, Lin Heng carried Xiaoxia down the mountain. It was almost four o'clock when they returned home.
"Where have you been? I thought you were lost."
Xiulan asked curiously when she saw the father and daughter come back.
"Mom, I'm hungry~"
Xiaoxia just got down from the ground and hugged Xiulan's legs again.
"I'll make you some honey and kudzu root powder later." Xiulan looked at her and said.
Lin Heng took a sip of water and briefly explained where he went in the afternoon.
"No wonder Xiaoxia is hungry. You guys are really good at running." Xiulan shook her head.
"I'm hungry too." Lin Heng said with a smile.
Xiulan glanced at the two of them, went to make some honey and kudzu root powder, and brought some cakes made with malt sugar.
"Eat, and then we'll cook in the evening," said Xiulan.
The kudzu root powder with honey appears as a light yellow gel. Lin Heng breaks the cake into pieces and dips it in the mixture to eat, which has a unique flavor.
After dinner, I didn’t want to do anything in the afternoon. I leaned back in my chair and watched Xiulan picking vegetables and Xiaoxia playing, just killing time casually.
In the evening, Tian Yan came over and fulfilled her promise to teach Xiaoxia to read and write. Xiaoxia was too tired to write and just kept acting coquettishly and cute with Tian Yan.
Lin Heng and Xiulan laughed beside them. Finally, Tian Yan gave up and taught her some pinyin before going back.
After dinner, Lin Heng told a story and Xiaoxia fell asleep.
The two men moved the bed away and took out three thousand yuan from the twenty-five thousand yuan hidden in the secret compartment in the basement.
A few hundred dollars are enough to buy saplings. Lin Heng is planning to use this much money to buy other things, including some equipment for shrimp farming. After all, it is not easy to go to Ancheng.
After moving the bed back, Xiulan started looking for clothes for Lin Heng to wear tomorrow, both inside and outside.
She had just finished washing up and was bending over to look through the closet in a loose nightgown. When Lin Heng saw this, he couldn't help but hug her from behind.
There's no way, it's so round and curvy and so tempting.
"Hey, can you be a good boy? I'm looking for clothes for you." Xiulan patted him and broke free with a red face.
Lin Heng was only wearing long underwear and long trousers, and it was too hot to be so close to her.
"Don't look for it anymore. Let's talk about it tomorrow morning." Lin Heng hugged her again.
"I've found it. Go to bed and have some rest." Xiulan quickly found her clothes and went to bed with a blushing face.
When a man is going out, he must be fed, otherwise he will succumb to temptation outside.
"Wait a minute, honey, can you change your hairstyle to twin ponytails?" Lin Heng pulled her and begged.
"What?" Xiulan was confused.
"Just change it." Lin Heng took the rubber band on his own initiative.
Xiulan looked at Lin Heng and had no choice but to tie her waist-length hair into two ponytails.
Seeing Xiulan tied her hair into two ponytails, Lin Heng put down the black article on Xiaoxia's wooden bed to completely cover her insides.
Then he couldn't wait to turn off the lights and walked towards the bed. Through the faint light from the fireplace, he could see Xiulan's plump and graceful figure.
As soon as he climbed onto the bed, Lin Heng could smell a faint fragrance, which was the scent of shower gel that remained on Xiulan's body after she had just taken a shower.
"Wife, I love you!"
Without saying too much, Lin Heng pounced on his prey like a hungry tiger.
"No, cover yourself with the quilt."
Xiulan held Lin Heng, not wanting to be outside the quilt as that would be too embarrassing.
“Hmm…”
Lin Heng didn't give Xiulan any chance and kissed her directly.
After a few minutes, she finally understood the purpose of the twin ponytails. Lin Heng was such a bad guy that she was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Lin Heng was just trying it out and didn't really pull the ponytails hard.
But he had to admit that this was a feeling he had never experienced before, and coupled with Shirley's expression, this great knight almost gave up.
"You are so bad."
After a long time, Xiulan lay on the bed and glared at Lin fiercely. She was still sweating because she was too tired.
I really don't know where he gets all these weird ideas. They always force her to experience new things, and every time she struggles back and forth between happiness and shame.
Lin Heng didn't say anything. The big paper wrapper with a little salt tasted unique.
