After finishing his meal, Lin Heng cleaned up the dishes, sent his parents out, and went home.
Although he is very filial to his parents, he does not want to live in the same house with them every day because their living habits are very different and neither of them will be comfortable.
Even if a new big house is built in the future, he doesn't want to live with his parents.
Filial piety does not mean letting them live together. These are different concepts.
Lin Heng closed the door and the children were already washing their faces and hands.
Lin Heng taught them the ten-finger hand-washing method, and after practicing for a while they were able to wash their hands very cleanly.
The principle is the same. If you let him wash it by himself at the beginning, he will definitely not be able to wash it clean. But don't help him because of this. He will learn it after letting him practice a few times.
Children have a strong learning ability. In order to start off simply, many people, dislike their children making water everywhere, and wash the washbasin themselves.
I have to wash it myself from now on.
When Lin Heng saw that they could do it by themselves, he began to teach them.
After washing up, everyone went to the study together. There was no fireplace here now, and the temperature was gradually warming up.
Since the children had played for a long time in the mountains today, they were very sleepy, so Lin Heng told them two stories and they fell asleep.
"Xiu Lan!"
Lin Heng looked at Xiulan who was tidying up the quilt. He threw her onto the bed, rolled over a few times and lay on top of her, looking at her.
"I'm tired of you. I'm making the quilt."
Xiulan pinched his face and said unhappily.
"I'm happy." Lin Heng said with a smile.
"Are you happy to go to Sanchagou or something?" Xiulan stared at him.
Lin Heng came close to her and smiled, "This is just one of the reasons. I'm happy that spring has arrived so I can go for an outing and see my wife wearing a skirt and suspenders. I look forward to spring every year."
Xiulan blushed. She did wear revealing clothes for Lin Heng to see in the summer, but she was still a little shy when Lin Heng said it out loud. However, she was looking forward to the warmer weather in her heart.
She pushed Lin Heng's shoulder and blushed: "Stop talking, get up quickly, I can't breathe, I'm so annoyed with you."
Lin Heng found her like this more and more amusing, and teased her with a smile: "What did you say before..."
The next moment, Xiulan covered his mouth with her hand, then grabbed his hand, turned him over, and started beating him up.
"Lin Heng, if you do this again I will be angry and beat you till your teeth are all over the ground!" Xiulan warned fiercely.
"I was wrong. I won't say anything more, wife." Lin Heng said with a smile. He knew that Xiulan was not really angry, but was just too embarrassed to talk about these things.
Just like when they did those things, she looked clearly happy, but when he asked her something explicit, she wouldn't say anything and would even get angry and embarrassed.
Only when she could no longer control herself, or when she really missed him after he had been in the mountains for a while, would she make a loud noise and respond to his ridiculous words.
"If you're wrong, get up. I'm making up the quilt."
Xiulan pulled her up and said.
"Okay." Lin Heng nodded repeatedly and stood up to help Xiulan make the quilt.
They took up the winter quilt, removed the quilt cover and put it aside, and then took out the slightly thinner quilt used in spring and autumn.
After putting a sky blue printed quilt cover on it, Xiulan threaded the needle and lay on the bed to sew the quilt cover. If it was not fixed, the quilt cover would easily be misaligned with the quilt.
Lin Heng looked at his virtuous wife with love in his heart and helped her sew the quilt cover. He looked at Xiulan who was bending over to tidy up the quilt, and walked forward again to hug her willow-like waist, and turned off the lights.
In the blink of an eye, it was the next morning. After waking up, Xiulan took a look at Lin Heng who was still sleeping. She wanted to deal with him, still because there was still some taste left in her mouth.
She puffed her cheeks, sat up, and let her hair, which she had tied up last night, fall to her waist like a waterfall.
After fixing her hair, she stood up and went to wash up.
Lin Heng reached out and found that Xiulan had already gotten up, so he quickly got up too.
He went out to the toilet first. Seeing Xiulan brushing her teeth seriously, he didn't say a word. He was going to be beaten for taking advantage of her. He didn't want his future happiness to disappear.
However, he is still very good at teasing his wife normally, but he won't go overboard.
After exercising, he came over to wash his face. Xiulan was already exercising next to him.
"Wash my hair later, and then you can go find your precious golden marbles." Xiulan looked at him and said bluntly.
She had obeyed his request so well last night. If Lin Heng dared to say no now, she would beat him up even if she had no temper.
"Of course no problem, I'll boil some Polygonum multiflorum for you to wash." Lin Heng quickly agreed.
Xiulan raised her chin slightly, very satisfied with Lin Heng's answer. It was also a pleasure for her to command her little man to do things.
After taking a shower, Lin Heng started his own exercise. Next to him, Xiulan practiced Tai Chi several times and did some stretching exercises to exercise her waist and abdomen.
She didn't want her figure to go out of shape, so she not only exercised actively, but also used the facial care products bought by Lin Heng, took various supplements from time to time, and worked hard to read books to supplement herself. She wanted to always monopolize Lin Heng's love and follow in his footsteps.
Lin Heng worked out very quickly. After finishing his regular exercise, he did several sets of sit-ups, and then showed off his abdominal muscles to Xiulan. These were strong muscles that were the result of hard labor and exercise.
Xiulan rolled her eyes and urged him to get to work. Lin Heng smiled and went into the house to boil water to cook some Polygonum multiflorum that he had prepared earlier.
After the water was boiled, Lin Heng slowly washed Xiulan's hair. His technique had improved many times, and now Xiulan enjoyed his skills very much.
"Be careful when you go into the mountains, and come back early."
Xiulan said after drying her hair.
"I will." Lin Heng nodded.
He took the things he had prepared long ago and went to his eldest brother's house.
Li Shiwei and Li Shilei have already arrived and are having dinner at Lin Yue's place.
"Shiwei, Brother Lei." Lin Heng greeted them with a smile when he saw them. Li Shilei was one year older than him and younger than his brother Lin Yue.
"Brother Lin, come and eat quickly, then we'll set off." Li Shiwei said caringly.
"Lin... Heng, is it okay if I don't go to look after the pig farm?" Li Shilei said to Lin Heng. For a moment, he didn't know how to address Lin Heng.
"It's okay. Zhang Feng came early. I have asked him to watch over there." Lin Heng waved his hand and said.
Zhang Feng was very positive, and came the day before yesterday for fear of losing his job. He got him some rice and flour, and arranged for him to look after the place and do some of the work he asked him to do.
It would take some time for the piglets to arrive, so he had time to dig for gold marbles now.
"That's fine." Li Shilei nodded and said, "Lin Heng, then you should eat quickly."
"I can eat while walking. Let's go." Lin Heng nodded.
There were only four young people going into the mountains this time, and they planned to go back and forth within three days.
"Then let's set off now." Lin Yue said.
Lin Heng took some food, carried his backpack and bow and arrow, and walked towards Sanchagou with Xiongba.
Li Shiwei and Li Shilei only took a hoe and a hatchet, apart from a small amount of food.
This time we are not mainly hunting, we will just go out to dig up some wood and come back.
The four of them walked very fast and arrived at Sanchagou at around 1:00 p.m., and reached the place where they were going to hunt antelopes at 5:30 p.m.
Everyone was chatting happily along the way. Not only were they of the same generation, they were also childhood friends and had endless topics to talk about.
At the same time, because there is no snow now, and they are all young people who run in the mountains all year round, they are traveling very fast.
"This is a great place. Let's go and take a look now. Who knows if we might find muntjacs or something." Li Shiwei said in surprise.
"Look over there, there is a tall yam." Li Shilei said, pointing to a place on the hillside.
Everyone looked up and couldn't see any yam for a long time. When they got closer, they found that it was indeed a large yam vine.
"Your eyesight is still as good as ever." Lin Heng said with a smile. When he was a child, Li Shilei went up the mountain to dig turmeric and was very good at finding medicinal herbs. He had particularly good eyesight.
"That's all I have." Li Shilei smiled.
He now regrets hanging out with such bad friends. He didn't learn any skills and it was all in vain in the end.
"Let's wait and dig tomorrow. Let's go see if there is any prey first." Lin Heng said after taking a look at the yam vine.
He took out the bow and arrow, and Li Shilei showed curiosity. It was the first time he saw such a beautiful compound bow.
Several people nodded, slowed down, and dispersed to look for prey.
"Lin Heng, pheasant!"
Soon, Li Shilei came over and pulled Lin Heng and said.
Lin Heng followed him over to take a look, and indeed found one. He once again admired Li Shilei's eyesight.
Without saying a word, he took an arrow, drew his bow and shot. With a whoosh, the pheasant fell to the ground and could not get up.
"sharp!"
Li Shilei widened his eyes and gave Lin Heng a thumbs up. He admired Lin Heng's accuracy with the bow and arrow.
Lin Heng smiled slightly. For him, there was no need to aim at this distance.
After shooting the pheasant, they continued on their way but failed to find any other prey.
Soon they arrived in front of the cave, and Lin Heng boasted: "Look, this is the shelter I built."
"This place is great, just like a real house." Li Shiwei said in surprise.
"If I had discovered such a place when I was a kid, I would have been so happy." Li Shilei said with a smile.
"Today I can also experience the feeling of childhood." Lin Heng said with a smile.
One of their dreams as children was to have a shelter of their own construction.
"Yes, I can have a good experience today." Lin Yue also nodded.
Everyone walked in to take a look, then picked up some firewood nearby and started a fire.
Leaving the task of making fire and cooking to the two brothers Li Shilei, Lin Heng and his eldest brother went out hunting to see if they could find other prey.
But he was unlucky. There should have been a lot of prey in this good place, but when it got dark, Lin Heng didn't find any prey, and his eldest brother only caught a golden rooster.
"Maybe we scared the prey here when we were hunting antelopes before." Lin Yue shook his head helplessly.
"Maybe." Lin Heng nodded, but he came here mainly to dig for the golden marbles, so he wasn't very sad.
When they returned to the cave, Li Shilei and the other man had already boiled the water. When they saw them come back, they cooked noodles and had sauerkraut noodles for dinner.
The pheasants and golden roosters were all cleaned and their internal organs were given to Xiongba.
The next morning, they got up at daybreak to look for prey. This time, Lin Heng and his eldest brother got nothing.
Li Shilei was able to do it. He and his younger brother Li Shiwei dug a big yam, which weighed about six or seven kilograms.
"Let's go and dig for golden marbles first." Lin Heng said with a smile.
"Okay, I just saw one too." Li Shilei said.
"I'll go take a look." Lin Heng said, and followed him over.
He soon gave up on this one. He came so far to find the best products, not the common stuff.
Then he took them to dig up the two golden bullets he had seen last year, as well as pine trees and pyracantha.
After a simple repair, Lin Heng stacked them up.
Then they searched in the woods again, but this thing was hard to come by and they didn't find much.
When Lin Heng didn't find the bird, he went hunting again. He heard the call of golden roosters, so he went there at dusk and shot two of them.
Lin Yue came over and joined Lin Heng and said, "I was lucky too. I killed two as well."
"Then let's go back. I guess there's no hope of finding it anymore." Lin Heng said.
"Well, let's go back." Lin Yue nodded.
The two of them walked back while talking, and they were also planning to roast a golden rooster for dinner tonight.
Seeing Lin Heng coming back, Li Shiwei took out a Pyracantha tree like he was presenting a treasure and said, "Brother Lin, what do you think of this Pyracantha my brother found?"
Lin Heng looked up and was immediately surprised: "Okay, this is very good. It can become a bonsai after a little processing."
The trunk of this Pyracantha is three centimeters thick, but very short, only about thirty or forty centimeters, and it hangs down, as if it is growing near water.
This kind of stump material only needs a little hanging and pruning to become a natural bonsai.
"I found it in a crack in the rock. I had to smash the other end before digging it out." Li Shilei said with a smile.
"I'll give you twenty yuan when we get back and I'll buy this thing." Lin Heng said with a smile.
Li Shilei waved his hands repeatedly and said, "There's no need for this, it's just a rotten tree, it's useless for me to hold it, I'll give it to you, brother."
"No need to say that. If I say give money, I will pay. If you find something good in the future, I will pay you according to the quality." Lin Heng said firmly.
"Thank you, brother." Li Shilei had no choice but to say this. He couldn't help feeling happy and more motivated.
After putting the tree away, Lin Heng sat down next to the fire. It was still very cold in the deep mountains, and it was not much different from winter here.
They still eat sauerkraut at night. This is the easiest way to cook it in the wild, and sauerkraut can be stored for a long time without going bad.
But tonight we also roasted a golden rooster, and the four of us enjoyed the meal very much, and talked about our childhood.
It’s a pity that the cave is too far away, otherwise it would really be built into a shelter.
Everyone chatted until late at night before falling asleep, and when the day broke, it was time to go home.
After breakfast, Lin Heng took a look and led everyone away. They didn't take many stakes, so each person could take one.
After taking the things, they walked back along the original path. However, not long after they walked, they all stopped and looked in the same direction. (End of this chapter)
