Chapter 373 Half a Month
Lin Heng did not chase her, but just showed a disappointed expression, looked over at his two sons, sat down and drank a sip of water.
As for Xiaoxia, she was not at home. From the sounds, she was playing with Lin Tao and others next door, as well as her good friend Yang Qing.
After drinking the water, Lin Heng sat down on the sofa. He was very tired after running around the city all morning, so he just wanted to sit down and rest.
Xiulan arranged the flowers and sat down next to Lin Heng with a smile. She was wearing loose homely clothes that did not reveal her figure much, but she exuded a unique scent that was a combination of milk and lavender.
Strangely enough, these were all very common smells, one coming from baby powder and milk, the other from shampoo, but when they came from Xiulan, they always had a strange attraction to him.
Lin Heng suddenly grabbed her and held her to his side. He thought she would resist, but she softened in his arms, her hands unconsciously wrapped around his neck, her eyelashes trembling through her closed eyes.
Lin Heng looked at the little face and red lips, then leaned over and nibbled on them. The two of them changed from sitting to lying, and finally to sitting again.
Xiulan didn't say anything, panting as she looked at Lin Heng, her expression showing three parts shyness and seven parts tenderness. Lin Heng smiled foolishly, savoring the remaining fragrance in his mouth, as well as the moist and soft feeling that he had tasted not only in his mouth, but also in another place fortunately.
"It's so delicious~" Lin Heng moved closer to her and wanted to continue tasting it. He couldn't stop.
"No!" Xiulan closed her red lips, shook her head and looked at him. If she got any more emotional, things would get out of control here. She didn't want this to happen.
But she didn't seem to understand the huge destructive power of the word "no". Lin Heng leaned over and kissed her. After a while, she opened her mouth unconsciously.
"Woo woo~"
She struggled symbolically.
Ten minutes later, Lin Heng put his arms around her waist, put her legs around his waist, and then walked towards the bedroom.
Half an hour passed in a blink of an eye, and the two walked out of the room. Xiulan was wearing a cheongsam and Lin Heng had also changed his clothes.
The sky-blue cheongsam set off Xiulan's swan-like neck and snow-white arms, making her temperament more gentle, intellectual and elegant. But her mind was filled with the image of Lin Heng letting her wear this dress and him behind her, and her cheeks couldn't help but blush.
Lin Heng was very energetic at this moment. He found that he was not physically tired, but simply missed his wife.
“Wow wow wow~~”
The two had just reached the bedroom door when they heard a child crying outside.
Xiulan glared at Lin Heng and walked out quickly: "Du Heng is crying, go and take a look."
Lin Heng was still savoring the watery and unusually warm feeling, as if his entire body was wrapped up in it. Every time seemed to be a completely different experience, and it was no wonder that he was so caught up in it that he couldn't extricate himself.
"The child has peed, quickly bring him a new diaper!" Xiulan shouted with a hint of shame and anger in her tone.
Lin Heng quickly brought over a diaper, wiped his son's bottom and put it on. Xiulan looked at Lin Heng and handed the child to him, then unbuttoned the buttons on the side of her cheongsam one by one, and took the child to feed him.
Lin Heng looked at this scene. This feeling of gradual disclosure was really attractive. After a while, the baby stopped crying after drinking milk.
The child was fed in a short while, much faster than before. She was embarrassed to say that the child was fed less because he had just been eaten by someone else.
This time, Lin Heng really leaned back on the sofa to take a rest. After feeding the child, Xiulan leaned next to him and used Lin Heng's shoulder as a pillow.
Lin Heng let her lean on his shoulder, put his hand on her waist, turned his head and smiled: "You look really good in this cheongsam."
Xiulan squinted her eyes and didn't say anything, because when she was wearing it she could clearly feel that Lin Heng's output force was much stronger than usual, otherwise she wouldn't be so tired at this moment.
"Remember to wash your son's diaper later. I don't have the strength left." She complained softly, and soon fell asleep.
Lin Heng looked at his sleeping wife with a faint smile on her lips. He reached out to tidy up her hair, laid her flat on the sofa and covered her with a blanket.
He got up to wash the diapers and clothes, then came back to play with the two little ones in the crib. They both reached out to him for a hug, so he picked them up one in each hand and started playing with them on the sofa.
To him, these family members are everything. Without them, poetry and distant places are meaningless.
More than an hour later, Xiulan woke up and opened her eyes. She saw Lin Heng playing with his two sons on the sofa and asked curiously, "Didn't you take a break? You kept teasing your two sons?"
Lin Heng smiled at her gently: "I have good physical strength and I am not sleepy."
Xiulan rolled her eyes at him at the time, then smiled and hugged her son Luming, who had crawled to her side, into her arms.
Lin Heng held his son Du Heng in his arms and put him in the cradle and said, "I'm going to work in the mountains. I've already washed the clothes. You can take care of our son in the afternoon. I'll take our daughter to Hongfeng Mountain."
"Did you really wash them all?" Xiulan asked in surprise.
Lin Heng smiled at her: "Of course, including underwear."
Family quarrels are often caused by trivial matters. When he is free, he will take care of these trivial matters, so that there won’t be so many problems.
Of course, he knew that even if he didn't do it to Xiulan, at most he would just say so and she would do it. That was what happened in her previous life.
"Then go ahead. I'll make you some leek dumplings tonight." Xiulan said with a smile.
"Okay." Lin Heng nodded, took the hoe and went up the mountain. Xiulan sent him out and locked the door. After returning to the house, she scooped some flour and kneaded the dough on the coffee table, while watching her two sons.
Lin Heng went to his eldest brother's house and took Xiaoxia to Hongfeng Mountain. In the afternoon, he went to plant alfalfa with his father and others.
I went home and ate some chive dumplings in the evening. It rained a little the next day, but I still planted alfalfa without stopping.
The third day was a good day that had been chosen before. His uncle took the luggage and went to Widow Zhang's house to put it away. Lin's mother and the matchmaker accompanied him.
Lin Heng is still planting alfalfa with his father and elder brother today. Although the seeds ordered earlier were said to arrive today, he is not sure when exactly they will arrive, so he decided to go into the city tomorrow.
They worked a little more than one acre in the morning. At noon, Lin's mother came back with a shocking news.
"Is this true?" Lin Heng asked in shock.
His elder brother and father were also extremely shocked.
Mother Lin nodded: "It is true. She will come with your uncle in a while, have a meal with us, and then go directly back to your uncle's house."
"This is normal. Many young people don't have any wedding ceremonies. It's understandable that they just celebrate together at their age." Father Lin came to his senses and said.
Lin Heng couldn't help but think of some bad things, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was impossible. It should be what his father said.
Lin's mother said something and went into the house to cook. Lin Heng went home and said something to Xiulan and came back. When he came back, his uncle and aunt had already come and were visiting the breeding base.
Lin Heng greeted her, said a few words and then went into the house. It was the first time he met this widow Zhang. She was about 1.5 meters tall, a little short but well-proportioned, with a round face, but fair skin, so she was pretty good.
If she wasn't a widow, then his uncle was indeed marrying above his station. With her looks and some delicate makeup, she could be considered a beauty.
Rural people don’t wear much makeup. People like Xiulan are naturally beautiful. If they are 60% or 70% beautiful, they are already very pretty. If they put on makeup, 90% is no problem.
The main reasons why there are more beautiful women in the world after 2010 are makeup, beauty and plastic surgery, most of which are just witchcraft.
Although his uncle is tall, he has a lot of pockmarks on his face and his figure is seriously out of shape.
During the meal, Lin Heng's family chatted with Zhang Gaolian. When she heard that Lin Heng asked his uncle to grow ginseng and astragalus, she was particularly supportive and said she would help.
After dinner, the two of them carried their things and went straight up the mountain to his uncle's house, saying that they wanted to take a look at the house and then discuss how to pack up.
Lin Heng continued to work in the afternoon. With his mother joining in, he worked one and a half acres in the afternoon.
The next morning, Lin Heng and his eldest brother went to the city. At noon, they brought a truck and unloaded 2,100 kilograms of seeds at Hongfeng Mountain.
After buying the seeds, Lin Heng went to inform his third father and uncle-in-law. When they arrived in the afternoon, he signed a contract with them first. This was a guarantee for both parties.
Then he asked them to move the seeds back by themselves, and he would personally instruct them on how to germinate and plant them two days later. Astragalus can be planted soon, but ginseng needs to be germinated for a month before it sprouts.
The next day, his uncle and aunt also came down. After seeing the house, Zhang Gaolian decided not to renovate it for the time being, and to do it during the slack farming season this winter, as he really didn't have time now.
Then they prepared to find a Feng Shui master to pick a date for the event. At noon, they went to see a Feng Shui master, and the date was May 13th in the Gregorian calendar, which was still a month away.
They hired someone and spent two days moving the seeds back home. Lin Heng then went to their homes to teach them how to germinate and plant the seeds.
After running around in three places for three days, he returned on the 12th. He had only planted six acres of alfalfa, while the astragalus seeds that had been germinated earlier had already sprouted.
Lin Heng had no choice but to hire two more people to come to his house to help with the planting. The alfalfa was planted until May 15th, and by this time the ones that had been planted first had already sprouted.
The weather has become much warmer in the past two days, and the leaves of the trees have basically turned green. Spring has come earlier than last year.
These two days are a good time to pick Chinese toon, prickly ash, bracken, as well as morels and pine mushrooms. However, Lin Heng and his friends don't have time to pick them. After planting alfalfa, they have to plant astragalus.
Because the seeds have already germinated, they must be planted. Once too many germinate, it will be difficult to plant. Astragalus is also sown in rows, digging trenches and sowing the germinated seeds in.
These days, while planting Astragalus, Lin Heng is also taking care of the fish fry. In the early stage, he feeds them egg yolks, and later on silkworm pupa powder. Their starter was not very good, and after such a long time, only two-thirds of them, about 20,000 in total, are left.
It will basically be like this later. The number will not be reduced much. He raises large and small fry separately and keeps the aerator on all the time. The temperature is not high these days, which allows the fry to grow healthily.
By June, the fish fry will be released into the reservoir on the top of the mountain for feeding, but the water temperature in the pond will be too high by then.
In addition to the fry, the shrimps were also transferred from the deep water ponds to the hatchery ponds and began to be fed with intensive feed to prepare nutritional reserves for subsequent spawning.
Time flies and it is already the 22nd. That afternoon, as Lin Heng covered the last row of astragalus, his astragalus was planted completely.
"Oh, I'm so tired." Lin Heng said as he sat down. It was really tiring after working for nearly a month.
But the good thing is that after planting the astragalus, you just need to weed and apply fertilizer, and wait two years before harvesting.
Looking up, I can see that the mountain is basically green now. The second crop of ryegrass nearby has grown to more than ten centimeters high, and the alfalfa has also grown plump little seedlings. The roses beside the fence of the breeding base are even greener, and many have already grown flower buds.
"The work is not over yet. We still have to plant corn, rice, potatoes and sweet potatoes." Father Lin said with a smile.
"And we also have to harvest wheat and rapeseed." Lin's mother also laughed.
"That's not bad. All together, it's not as much as we planted this time." Lin Heng said with a smile.
Although there are many kinds of crops at home, they add up to less than ten acres, and as long as they are planted before mid-June, there is still time, unlike alfalfa and astragalus, which require a rush.
"Lin Heng, you still have 50 kilograms of Astragalus seeds left at home. What are you going to do?" asked Yang Guiquan, who was working nearby.
"Let's find a relative to plant the seeds." Lin Heng thought for a moment and said, "Because the seeds he prepared himself had a high germination rate, he planted them sparsely. He used 15 kilograms of seeds per mu of land, and now he still has 50 kilograms left."
Yang Guiquan asked tentatively: "Can we cooperate, just like you and your third father and the others?"
Liu Guishan, a helper nearby, also looked over. Many people in the village recently knew that Lin Heng and his relatives were planting ginseng and astragalus. There was a lot of discussion about this matter, and many people also wanted to get involved.
Lin Heng looked at him and said, "Uncle Yang, you can cooperate, but you have to pay half of the seed price. If you are from another village, you have to pay the full seed price."
Yang Guiquan was silent for a moment, then asked with a smile: "How much is one pound?"
Lin Heng said seriously, "Astragalus is 50 cents per pound, and the remaining 50 pounds is 25 yuan. You just need to pay 10 cents. Then we will sign a contract. After two years, I will buy it back at the market price, and the remaining seed money will be deducted from it."
"10 yuan." Yang Guiquan was a little hesitant.
"If you don't want it, then I'll take it." Liu Guishan said first. This is a good deal no matter how you look at it.
When someone tried to grab it, Yang Guiquan immediately said, "Who said I don't want it? I want it."
"It's okay. If there's any left, I'll leave it to you, Uncle Liu." Lin Heng said, then stood up and walked down the mountain.
"Okay!" Liu Guishan agreed with a smile.
