They drove for a short while before arriving in the city. It was already a bit hot in the city, and the temperature at noon made people sweat slightly.
Lin Heng first took Xiulan to the factory to find out about the situation. He went into the factory to take a look, and then learned about the situation from Wang Zhou.
After deciding what to do, he left. He would deal with things here another day. They were going to buy a Simmons bed today.
Lin Heng parked the car outside the furniture store, then took Xiulan into the store.
Today he wore a black shirt, white pants and a pair of black sneakers. He looked clean and tidy. Long-term exercise gave him a heroic and upright temperament.
Xiulan was wearing a white shirt on her upper body, grey pants on her lower body, and a pair of white canvas shoes on her feet. Her long hair was draped down smoothly, her figure was well-proportioned, and there was a hint of curiosity on her little face.
Xiulan's long black hair made the male receptionist look at her twice. He was stunned for a moment before walking over to ask, "What kind of furniture do you want to buy?"
"Let's buy a bed, a Simmons bed." Lin Heng said to the receptionist.
"There are also cabinets, and we're planning to buy a smaller cabinet to store things." Xiulan said.
"Then I'll take you to see the beds first. Please follow me." The receptionist led Lin Heng and the others inside and soon arrived at the bed display area.
The styles of Simmons beds are similar, but the materials are different, including pine, maple, oak, walnut, etc.
Lin Heng took Xiulan to look around, and finally Xiulan chose three and was wavering between them. She looked at Lin Heng and whispered, "Honey, which one do you think is better?"
All three beds are yellow-brown natural wood color. Xiulan did not finally choose a white or other colored bed as she felt that this color best matched the current furniture in her home.
Lin Heng smiled and said, "That's easy. Just buy the expensive one. The cheapest of the three is the pine one. Let's not buy this one. Let's buy the walnut one for ourselves and the maple one for our parents."
"You are such a good chooser." Xiulan pursed her lips and teased.
"That's it. This thing can be used for decades. There's no need to save it." Lin Heng said with a smile.
"It's like this, pine wood is more prone to insects, while walnut and maple wood can be used longer." The receptionist next to me also said with a smile.
"The sizes are one is two meters by two meters, and the other is one meter eight by two meters." Lin Heng said again.
"Okay, I'll have someone load the goods for you right away." The receptionist nodded with a smile.
Lin Heng waved his hand: "I have my own car, it's parked in front of the door, just load it on that car for me later."
The receptionist showed surprise on his face and thought that it was no wonder that this handsome and beautiful couple must be the children of some leader.
"Okay." The receptionist agreed, and then took them to pick out a mattress.
Lin Heng asked Xiulan to choose the color and pattern, and then bought the most expensive one. A bad mattress would be uncomfortable to sleep on, and now it is not a few years ago, so there is no need to haggle over a little money.
"Then let's use a white mattress for the big bed and a red one for the small bed." Xiulan said. She didn't want a peony red mattress, but her mother would definitely like it.
Finally, Xiulan picked out a cabinet, and Lin Heng bought a shoe cabinet. In the end, the total cost was nearly four hundred and fifty yuan.
"You are really getting better at spending money."
Xiulan squeezed Lin Heng's hand and looked at him helplessly. It wouldn't cost so much, but he only picked the best.
"Don't worry, I can earn your husband back." Lin Heng stroked her hair and said with a smile.
"And I won't be extravagant on other things." Lin Heng then added.
"I'm fine, but mom may not be. You'd better not tell her the real price when you go back." Xiulan said.
"It's okay, let her talk." Lin Heng waved his hand.
Xiulan looked at him, removed a dirt thing from his clothes, and then turned her attention to the car to watch the people loading the goods.
These people were all professionals in loading the goods and there was nothing wrong with them. Especially since this set of furniture was very expensive, they were even more careful.
Lin Heng had already paid, and after packing up his things, he drove home with Lin Heng. It is worth mentioning that the fourth set of RMB was released on April 27 this year, and the denomination of 100 yuan was added. Now he doesn't need to take many ten-yuan notes.
The issuance of this set of RMB also means that domestic productivity is getting stronger and stronger, and the economy is becoming more and more active. Next year will be the day when market economic reforms begin, and it will also be the time when dividends will arrive.
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when the two returned home. Lin Heng drove directly to Hongfeng Mountain. As soon as he got out of the car, the three children surrounded him.
Although they were not bought any candy, the children still stuck to them and refused to leave.
Lin's father and mother walked to the back of the car and looked at the bed they bought. They had heard of Simmons mattresses, but this was the first time they had seen one.
"Wow, the bed you bought is too big." Lin's mother shouted in surprise after seeing the size.
Father Lin looked at Lin Heng and said, "This bed is made of such solid materials, I'm afraid it's not cheap, right?"
"At least two or three hundred." said Lin's mother.
Lin Heng smiled and nodded: "I bought them all. I spent a total of four hundred and fifty."
"Oh my God, I had already overestimated it, but I didn't expect it to be underestimated." Mother Lin took a breath.
"My son has money, so who cares? He can spend it however he wants. We just need to enjoy ourselves." Father Lin said with a smile.
"Let's get the straw bed out for you first, and then move this bed over directly." Lin Heng said to his parents.
"I'll do as you say." Lin's mother nodded. It was too late for her to say anything now that Lin Heng had bought everything.
Lin Heng put Xiaoxia down from his arms, then got into the car with his father and moved the bed and mattress out of the car first.
After Lin's mother took away all the quilts on the beds in the room, they moved this bed out. It was a black straw bed. Although the wooden boards were carbonized for corrosion protection, the legs of the bed inevitably began to rot after decades.
"Don't throw away this bed. Dry it in the sun and move it back to the old house. You can use it again in the future," said Lin's mother.
"Okay, okay, okay." Lin Heng did not refute her. He wanted to burn the bed, but if his mother didn't allow it, then he let her do it.
Soon the new bed was installed. Mother Lin sat on the mattress with a surprised expression: "No wonder it's so expensive. It's more comfortable than the old bed."
"Of course. Not only is it more comfortable than the previous bed, but we also don't have to worry about bugs." Lin Heng nodded.
After letting his parents see the new bed, Lin Heng drove them back to the village and moved the big bed he had bought into the house.
Because their bed was bigger, it took a lot of effort to move it into the house, and it took more than 40 minutes to complete.
The mattress was installed, but there was no quilt yet. Xiaoxia, Luming and Dugen all lay on it. Xiaoxia looked up at Lin Heng and Xiulan and said coquettishly, "Mom and Dad, since we've changed to such a big bed this time, can I sleep with you?"
"I want to sleep with Mom and Dad, too!"
“I want one too…”
After the elder sister said this, the two younger brothers also wanted to go with them.
"You can do it occasionally, but most of the time you still have to sleep in your own little bed," said Lin Heng.
The children wanted to act cute and refuse, but he would not agree to that. He said that if they did not agree, they would have to sleep in other rooms. Only after hearing this did they agree to his request to sleep with them occasionally.
After handing the bedroom over to Xiulan, Lin Heng went out to look at the original straw bed. This was the kind of straw bed that required a lot of straw to sleep on, and it had no bed board, so it was impossible to transform it into any other bed. He planned to destroy it directly, dismantle it, and burn it.
Even if they wanted to put it there, they had no place to put it in this house, and they were too lazy to move back to the old house. It’s not that this straw bed is bad, but it needs to be dried frequently, which is very troublesome. If it is not dried, there will always be a smell.
After all, if it was really convenient, it would not have been replaced by Simmons.
"Let me take it down. The wooden boards can be used to make other things." Father Lin said from the side.
"That's fine. I'll go cook. You can eat here before going back." Lin Heng said to his parents.
He was also hungry at this moment, so he went to steam the rice first. When he was about to cook, Lin's mother and Xiulan drove him away.
They simply fried four dishes and then had dinner. Lin Heng made a bowl of the sweet wine that Xiulan had just brewed for each person.
The sweet wine at this time is not very alcoholic and is particularly sweet and fragrant. Children can also drink it. After brewing, it is sweet and fragrant with some alcohol taste. They will never get tired of drinking it from childhood to adulthood.
After eating and chatting for a while, Lin Heng drove his parents back to Hongfeng Mountain, parked the car and walked back by himself.
When he came back, Xiulan had already taken the children to bed. He washed up and quickly went to bed. The newly bought bed was much softer, and the children crawled back and forth on it.
Xiulan smiled helplessly at Lin Heng and said, "Tonight the five of us are destined to sleep together. Look, they don't show any intention of leaving."
"Everything is fine as long as you don't wet the bed." Lin Heng spread his hands.
They played on the bed for a while longer, and before going to bed, he made the children pee once, and then let them fall asleep while he told them stories.
The next day, Lin Heng and Xiulan got up early with the children. After breakfast, Xiulan took the children to pick strawberries to make strawberry cake.
Lin Heng went to Hongfeng Mountain and drove to the city. He brought in all kinds of raw materials that the factory lacked, and then delivered feed to several farmers who needed feed.
It took me two days to complete all these tasks, and when I came back I also brought back some piglets from the pig farm for Murakami.
In the next few days, Xiulan and I took the children to the fields to do farm work and harvest the rapeseed and wheat that his family planted this year. Because there are enough concrete fields on the Hongfeng Mountain side, the harvested rapeseed and wheat were moved there to dry. After two or three days of drying, they could be harvested.
His family plants less now, and the harvest only takes two or three days, while many people in the village have to spend five or six days harvesting.
After the rapeseed and wheat were harvested, Lin Heng and his father each got a cow to plow the land, added water to the field and harrowed it, and they were ready to plant rice.
The wheat fields are planted with some late corn, but not much corn, mainly for their own consumption. Father and Mother Lin want to do more, but they don’t have the time because there is too much work to do.
In addition to growing rice and corn, the grass on the pasture has now grown and can be harvested to make silage. Next, we will plant astragalus and take care of the production of cattle and sheep. Later, we will thin the fruit trees and manage the orchard.
Even with Lin Heng's help, they were still quite busy, so they gradually stopped insisting on planting land that had little economic benefit.
In fact, Lin Heng didn’t even want to grow corn. He just wanted to grow rice, wheat and rapeseed, which was enough for his family to eat.
In the blink of an eye, it is May 15th and the rapeseed and wheat at home have been harvested.
The fish pond in Hongfeng Mountain has been exposed to the sun for a long time after dredging. The green shrimps have begun to hatch, and the grass carp have also completed spawning and hatching with the help of Lin Heng. The fry are growing up very quickly with feed.
The two woke up early that morning. Xiulan lay in Lin Heng's arms for a while before getting up. She stretched and said, "There's nothing to do today. Let's go pick cherries. The cherries on the back mountain have been very red these days."
"I also want to do this, pick some cherries and strawberries, and then have a good rest for a day. I will have to plant rice again soon." Lin Heng nodded.
These days, they have been harvesting rapeseed and wheat and plowing the fields to plant corn, which is quite tiring. Lin Heng and Xiulan bought a new mattress and they only had a good time together these days.
Xiulan got out of bed, she was wearing a set of black underwear. She searched in the closet and took out a white short-sleeved shirt, a black pleated floral skirt, and a pair of leggings.
After she put it on, she turned around in front of Lin Heng and smiled, "Does it look good?"
Lin Heng nodded repeatedly: "You are so beautiful, so beautiful that I want to carry you to the bed and kiss you hard."
The hem of her skirt was just about three or four fingers above her knees, revealing half of her thigh and her entire calf. Her legs were so white, long and straight that Lin Heng couldn't take his eyes off them.
Although the neckline of the short-sleeved top was too high to reveal much of the scenery, it still pushed up her chest. Her arms were white and smooth, her fingers were long, her nails were neat, and her waist-length hair made Lin Heng's eyes pop out.
When Xiulan received Lin Heng's praise, a bright smile immediately appeared on her face. She wore this outfit just for Lin Heng to see.
"Then get up quickly. I'm going to comb my hair." Xiulan said as she walked towards the dressing table.
She combed her hair neatly but did not tie it up, and went out wearing a pair of black canvas shoes.
Lin Heng was already exercising outside. Seeing Xiulan exercising, he sighed again and again: "That's why I still like summer. I must let the children exercise more today so that they can sleep better at night."
Xiulan rolled her eyes at him, but she felt a little excited inside.
After the exercise, they woke up the children because they were going to pick food. The children were particularly happy and jumped up and down.
"Let's go, pick up your things and go to the back mountain."
After breakfast, Lin Heng looked at the children and said with a smile.
"Everything is ready, let's go pick cherries!"
“Pick cherries, pick cherries!”
"I'll send a few. I love cherries the most!"
The three children rushed out, cheering as they ran, and Xiulan also hurried over.
Lin Heng walked at the back holding a scoop net and plastic film. He couldn't stop smiling at Xiulan and the children, and felt that this life was so beautiful and full of hope. (End of this chapter)
