Chapter 340: Squeak, Looking for Liu Sheng
"What's up?"
Lin Heng walked over and asked puzzledly.
"Come with me to the bedroom." Xiulan said softly and pulled Lin Heng into the bedroom.
After locking the door, she blushed and said, "I think there was a thorn in my butt just now. Let me see."
"Oh, leave it to me." Lin Heng smiled slightly, took out a flashlight, asked her to lie on the bed, and examined her carefully.
Lin Heng shone the flashlight and saw the tiny thorn. It was the bamboo fiber that had somehow pierced her body.
But looking at this snow-white and soft surface, his hands couldn't help but move around. This was the first time he looked at it like this with a flashlight.
"What are you doing? You're so annoying!"
Xiulan noticed something was wrong and slapped him twice.
"No, no, I was looking for the thorn carefully. I just found it." Lin Heng grinned, tried to pull out the thorn with his hands, but found that it didn't work, so he went to find tweezers and finally pulled out the small thorn.
After pulling out the thorns, he did not forget to appreciate the beautiful scenery. It was really a different feeling to see it so clearly. The beauty of the scenery made people unable to help but get close.
"You're so annoying."
Xiulan quickly pulled up her pants, turned around and slapped him on the chest angrily.
Lin Heng pulled her over and smiled, "You're testing me with this, but I definitely can't stand it."
"Don't be like this... wait until Xiaoxia falls asleep, okay~" Xiulan was afraid that Lin Heng would do something wrong, so she quickly gave in.
"I was just kidding." Lin Heng laughed and tidied her clothes. Xiulan gave him angrily and they went out together.
Lin Heng came out and asked, "Are mom and dad gone?"
"Just left." Caiyun nodded and said that she had cleaned up the table.
Lin Heng looked at her and smiled: "What about you? Are you planning to sleep on the sofa today?"
Caiyun smiled and said, "No, I plan to take Xiaoxia to sleep in the old house."
Lin Heng and Xiulan looked at Xiaoxia in surprise, only to see her raise her little head and say crisply, "I want to sleep with my aunt today, and she will tell me a story too."
Apart from her parents, she is closest to Caiyun. Before, no one could take her to spend the night with them, but now she is willing to take the initiative to be with Caiyun.
"Okay then, you have to be obedient." Lin Heng said, touching her little head.
"I will." Xiaoxia nodded.
Xiulan reminded: "Caiyun, remember to let her go to the toilet before going to bed, so that she won't wet the bed."
"I understand, sister-in-law." Caiyun nodded in agreement.
Finally, Lin Heng asked Xiaoxia again, and took Fengshou and sent them back to the old house. It would be safer for Fengshou to stay there at night.
When Lin Heng returned, Xiulan was still sitting in the yard enjoying the cool air. It was already half past nine, but she was still not very sleepy.
In the night sky, the moon is dim and the stars are sparse. The golden moon casts a soft light, making everything appear looming. The leaves nearby and the green hills in the distance are very hazy, as if separated by a layer of gauze.
"This seems to be the first time since we got married that there are only two of us in the room." Lin Heng locked the door and said to Xiulan.
This year is September 16th of the lunar calendar. The moon is particularly beautiful, and it seems that you can clearly see the craters on the moon.
"Yes, this is the first time that there are only two of us in a house, and there is no one else all night." Xiulan nodded.
There were more than a dozen people living in the old house before, and Xiaoxia has always been by our side even after the new house was built.
Of course, they still had time to be alone, but it was either in a small bedroom or in the wild mountains.
Lin Heng looked at her in thin clothes and asked, "Are you cold?"
"It's not cold, the temperature is quite comfortable now." Xiulan nodded.
Lin Heng went to get a glass of water and sat next to Xiulan.
The quiet time seems very long, and looking up at the starry sky is a romantic thing.
The starry sky is elegant and tranquil because it is far away, and it carries people’s longings.
Lin Heng likes to look at the starry sky because it can calm his mind. He also loves life because it is his foundation and the meaning of his existence.
All he wanted in his life was to take Xiulan to see the world, to give his family and children a rich life, and to allow them to freely choose how they want to live.
However, in the process of achieving this goal, he was not willing to rush for quick success, give up time with his family, and plunge into money.
If that happened, he estimated that in the end he would gain nothing except money.
The right way is to proceed step by step, develop steadily, experience it with your family, and grow with your children.
You can never make enough money, but life is limited. The most important thing is to find the meaning of your life.
Xiulan didn’t look at the stars much before, as she thought they were too far away from her, but after Lin Heng took her to look at the stars, she began to like looking at the stars.
Xingxing only felt cold, but she felt warm when she was next to Lin Heng.
"Let's go back to the house. It's a bit cold."
At ten o'clock, Xiulan leaned against Lin Heng and said.
"good."
Lin Heng smiled and nodded, stood up, picked up the water cup and took Xiulan back to the bedroom.
Undress, go to bed, and do some of the things you love.
Even if there was no one around, the two of them couldn't let go of their joy, after all, Xiulan was pregnant.
I just quietly extended the time to express my love.
The next morning, they woke up as usual and did their morning exercises facing the same sun.
Then the two of them worked together to make breakfast, and when Xiaoxia and Caiyun came over, they were ready to eat.
There are no eggs for breakfast today because the chickens in the back hill have laid fewer eggs recently, and there are only enough for Xiaoxia and Xiulan.
The batch of chickens hatched by Hongfeng Mountain this year are not yet ready to lay eggs.
But Lin Heng doesn’t like eating eggs very much. Fried fish is also delicious and nutritious, and there is plenty of yogurt to eat.
After breakfast and taking a look at the cows, they all went to Red Maple Mountain. The temperature was a little cool in the morning and there were still water droplets on the grass, but that couldn't stop Xiaoxia and Xiongba from running around happily.
She is always happy and chases Xiongba around to play.
These days, his parents have been working on reclaiming the area halfway up Hongfeng Mountain. Lin Heng took Xiulan, Xiaoxia and the others to see the black fish they raised and the beautiful minnows.
"This is enough to last us more than a month." Xiulan said in surprise as she looked at the fish in the net cage.
The real thing is always more shocking than words. The sight of nine black fish splashing around in the water is so impactful.
"Dad, I like to eat fish~"
Xiaoxia said in a baby voice while looking at the black fish in the net cage.
"In three days we can have a meal of fish." Lin Heng said, touching her face.
This fish is caught for the family to eat. Black fish meat is rich in nutrients and is very good for pregnant women and children.
After watching, Lin Heng asked Xiulan and Caiyun to play here first. He left and found his eldest brother, asking him if he had time in the next two days to go to the city with him to help.
"Are you going down tomorrow?" Lin Yue asked.
"Yes, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow is fine, but this time we have to stay down for a few days." Lin Heng said.
"Then let's do it the day after tomorrow. I wanted to make an appointment with your sister-in-law to go to the mountains to dig herbs and pick hawthorns tomorrow." Lin Yue said with a smile.
"No problem, then the day after tomorrow." Lin Heng nodded and agreed.
After saying that, Lin Heng went to feed the cows and then returned to Hongfeng Mountain.
It was not hot in the morning, so he took a pickaxe to help clear the wasteland, while Xiulan took Xiaoxia to play on the cement path not far away.
Land reclamation mainly involves cutting down trees, digging up grass and tree roots, and picking out all the stones in the soil.
Normal land reclamation also requires stone embankments. The terraces on the hillsides are built by farmers one stone at a time.
There is no good land for growing crops in the mountainous areas, so most of the houses are built and repaired by people themselves.
The hillside of Hongfeng Mountain is not too steep, so there is no need to build stone embankments to retain the soil, which saves some effort.
But even so, it was still a very laborious task, and the three people only managed to clear about one-tenth of an acre of land in the morning.
One mu is equal to ten points, so three people can only cultivate two mu of land in a day.
"We are not busy now since the crops have been harvested. Do you want to hire someone to help us open up the wasteland?"
Lin Heng was working and looked at his father and asked.
Father Lin wiped his sweat and nodded, "Of course you can, but don't invite too many people. Ten or so will be enough."
The area that needs to be reclaimed is really too large, and it would take even a minute to finish it by the end of the year if I were to rely on myself.
"It's better to call for more at one time so that it will be done faster." Lin Heng shook his head.
Lin's mother agreed with her son's point of view: "I also think it's good to have more people, so that we can finish the work quickly and efficiently."
"Listen to my dad." Xiaoxia said in a baby voice from a distance. After all, her dad is the most powerful.
"Okay, okay, listen to your father." Father Lin looked at his granddaughter and smiled.
"Then let's wait a few days until the shrimps are sold and then find someone to open up the wasteland. My eldest brother and I will go to the city the day after tomorrow." Lin Heng said after thinking for a while.
These prawns are already fully mature and will not grow much if they are fed further. If they are not sold, it would only be a waste of feed.
"Okay, it shouldn't be difficult to find a buyer, right?" Father Lin asked a little worriedly.
"Don't worry, Dad. I have a hundred ways to sell it. There will be no shortage of sellers." Lin Heng said with a smile.
He was very familiar with Taibai City, so it was not difficult for him to sell these shrimps, especially since the quality was so good.
"That's fine." Father Lin nodded.
He continued to work. In the blink of an eye, it was already ten o'clock. Just as Lin Heng was about to go to work, his father suddenly said, "There are so many voles!"
Lin Heng looked up and saw four or five field mice crawling out from the broken stone embankment and running into the grass.
Father Lin was quick to kill one with a hoe, and the rest all ran away.
"Here!" Father Lin picked up the vole and threw it to Xiongba who was far away.
Xiongba took a look and looked up at Lin Heng. Lin Heng understood that it wanted to roast him and eat him. This guy was too picky.
"There might be little field mice in this place." Lin Heng glanced at Xiongba, walked over and said.
After digging twice with the hoe, I heard a squeaking sound. Then I dug a little with my hands and found more than a dozen pink, chubby little voles.
"There really are little voles." Lin's mother said in surprise.
"Let me see, let me see~"
Xiaoxia trotted over, very curious.
"Slow down." Lin Heng quickly took her over and let her look at the little vole.
"What a fun little field mouse." Xiaoxia reached out and touched it, then looked up at Lin Heng, "Dad, can I raise one too?"
"No, it's a bad guy and can only be used to feed Xiongba." Lin Heng looked at her and said.
“Ouch~”
As soon as Lin Heng finished speaking, Xiongba stretched his big head over and licked the vole baby into his mouth in two bites. With a squeak, the baby went into his stomach.
"Oh, Xiongba, you are so annoying, I haven't seen enough of you!"
Xiaoxia patted Xiongba's head and said dissatisfiedly.
“Ouch~”
Xiongba turned his head and rubbed her face.
"Bad dog!"
Xiaoxia pulled its tail and slapped it. Xiongba was already used to this kind of painless slapping and played with her.
"Xiaoxia, come here and stop making trouble over there." Xiulan called from a distance.
“Here I come!”
Xiaoxia chased after Xiongba and had forgotten about the little mouse.
Lin Heng and his father continued to work and did not return home until almost half past eleven.
The sun was not very strong at noon, so after lunch they went to play in the nearby stream.
Xiulan took off her shoes and sat on the stone man in the shallow water to soak her feet. Xiaoxia played in the water barefoot on the smooth and tiny pebbles. After playing for a while, she ran to the beach next to her to play with the sand.
Caiyun and Lin's mother were washing clothes a little higher up, while Lin Heng accompanied Xiaoxia and played with her in the sand and went to catch stream groupers at the big pool under the dam above.
In this pool, groups of brook groupers swim happily, and in the center, countless splashes of water constantly emerge under the flushing of the waterfall, making the water here rich in oxygen.
The outside was covered with small smooth pebbles. Lin Heng really wanted to take a bath here, but he was afraid that Xiaoxia would learn from him, so he had to give up.
After playing for a while and waiting for Caiyun and the others to finish washing their clothes, Lin Heng took Xiaoxia and Xiulan back to continue the land reclamation work in the afternoon.
After working for two consecutive days, Lin Heng took Xiaoxia, Xiulan and others to have a picnic by the stream at noon the next day.
There is no special reason, I just go for a picnic when I want to. There is no such thing as a why in life.
Early in the morning on October 13, Lin Heng had breakfast early, changed into his Zhongshan suit and prepared to set off.
"How long will you stay this time?" Xiulan asked softly as she straightened her collar.
"About three days. The main thing is to find someone to clean up the factory." Lin Heng said with a smile.
The main purpose of cleaning up the factory is to give them a place to live.
"Then be careful." Xiulan said.
Lin Heng coaxed Xiaoxia and drove out. On the road, his elder brother was already waiting with one or two bags of herbs.
"Let's go."
Lin Yue said with a smile after getting in the car.
"Let's go." Lin Heng started the car, and the two of them set off towards Taibai City.
With his eldest brother Lin Heng, they drove at a very fast speed and reached the city in two hours.
He asked his elder brother to sell the herbs first, and then he drove on.
"Brother, where are we going?" Lin Yue asked curiously. He had been here several times and had memorized the approximate route to the factory. This was obviously not that route.
Lin Heng turned his head and smiled: "It's definitely not the way to the factory. I'm going to look for Liu Sheng."
"Why are you looking for him? Isn't he with Zhao Hu and the others?" Lin Yue was a little curious.
"Indeed, I am with them. I just want to ask them what is going on over there and ask him for help." Lin Heng nodded.
Liu Sheng had already told him where Liu Sheng and his family lived in Taibai City, but he had never looked for them.
This time he went to look for him because he had a new idea, to sell shrimps, and he didn't want to go through the hands of dealers anymore.
