Lin Heng quickly came to the study with a plastic bag, threw the fish into the fish tank and covered it with the anti-jump net. However, the big golden catfish did not jump much. It just swam a few circles in the water and then settled down.
When Lin Heng and the others got closer to take a look, the big catfish started swimming again. Its whole body was golden, its eyes were a beautiful blood red, and its body was very graceful when it swam.
"You know what, there really is a different feeling." Xiulan turned her head and looked at Lin Heng and said. Her head was right next to Lin Heng, and there were three curious little heads looking at her and Lin Heng's heads.
"That's nature. It's like a small world." Lin Heng said with a smile. He could watch the fish swimming back and forth like this for a whole day.
Xiaoxia looked up and asked, "Dad, don't we have to feed the fish?"
"Don't feed it for now, wait a few days." Lin Heng shook his head. It is not easy to feed it in the new environment, so wait for it to adapt for a while.
"Dad, this golden fish doesn't have a name yet." Lu Ming said again.
"Then you guys give it a name." Lin Heng said with a smile.
After looking at the fish and chatting with the children for a while, they went to the living room. There was no fireplace in the study so the temperature was relatively low.
Arriving in the study, Lin Heng made a cup of tea and had a good rest. The children looked at the fish for a while and finally decided to give it a name, Xiao Jin.
Even in the middle of winter, the children were reluctant to go out and play. Even the two dogs, Xiongba and Dazhuang, stayed in the house. Jinbao, who usually didn't like to go home, was lying by the fireplace.
Dazhuang has now grown up and is bigger than Xiongba. His black and gray color scheme makes him look like a wolf hiding in the house. Xiongba, on the other hand, is not as domineering as his son and looks a little cuter.
Of course, if we compare abilities, Xiongba is the undisputed number one. He has made countless contributions to hunting with Lin Hengli. He is responsible for half of the family's present status. All the children have to call him "Big Brother".
Therefore, now that life is better, Lin Heng specifically goes to hunt wild boars for it to eat.
Lin Heng didn't want to go out on such a cold day, so he played a tape and read a book. Xiulan was knitting sweaters next to him. She had already finished knitting the sweaters for the children, and they were already wearing the green sweaters.
The one I am knitting now is for Lin Heng. I have already finished two-thirds of it and it will soon be completed.
Lu Ming and Du Heng were playing with toy cars to amuse Jin Bao and Da Zhuang, while Xiao Xia was lying on the sofa reading comic books and was very interested in the stories in them.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Xiulan stopped knitting and came to Lin Heng and said, "Let's go to the greenhouse to pick vegetables and make hot pot tonight."
"Okay." Lin Heng put down the book in his hand, stood up and walked out with Xiulan.
"I want to go too, Dad." Xiaoxia put down the comic book and ran over and said.
"Let's go too." Lu Ming Du Heng ran over not wanting to be left behind.
"Let's go, let's all go." Lin Heng said with a smile.
They took the baskets and gave them to the children to carry. The five of them, along with the two dogs, Xiongba and Dazhuang, went out of the yard and came to the greenhouse under the road.
Lin Heng opened the door of the greenhouse, and the children came in one after another, running along the path to the center of the greenhouse. Xiongba and Dazhuang ran in directly on the vegetable patch.
"The vegetables here grow so fast." Xiulan said with a smile.
Now this 100-square-meter greenhouse is full of lush greenery. The vegetables are more than ten centimeters tall and look very pleasing to the eye.
Lin Heng mainly grows six kinds of vegetables: spinach, cabbage, bok choy, lettuce, coriander and peas. These are relatively cold-resistant and grow better in greenhouses.
In addition, he also tried to plant a small amount of tomatoes and cucumbers to see if they could bear fruit. There were only flower buds at the moment, so it would take some time before they could bear fruit.
The best growing ones should be the strawberries grown in the greenhouse on Hongfeng Mountain. They have already bloomed and have produced small strawberries after artificial pollination.
"Technology changes life. This is the power of science and technology." Lin Heng said with a smile.
"Mom, what kind of vegetables should we pick?" Xiaoxia asked with her head tilted.
"Pick some, don't mess around." Xiulan hurried over and looked at them.
She taught for a while and the children followed suit. The soil in the greenhouse was already relatively moist and mixed with a lot of cow and sheep manure, so it was very loose and the three children were able to pick the fruits.
Lin Heng and Xiulan are the same. They are very much encouraged to do things by themselves. The children are happy and their hands-on ability is enhanced, and they can even be lazy for a while.
Even if they mess up sometimes, it’s okay, they are just children, just encourage them more. Children educated in this way are already great little helpers, which can save adults a lot of energy.
Lin Heng didn't do anything while the children were busy picking vegetables. Xiulan was organizing and packing the vegetables they had picked.
"Oh, these are the vegetables you grow in the greenhouse. They grow really fast."
At this moment, a person suddenly leaned half of his body in from the door, looked at them in surprise and said.
Xiulan saw that the person was Li Caifeng from next door, and waved with a smile, "Sister Caifeng, come in, I'll pick some for you to eat, we can't finish all this."
"I have vegetables at home, and the spinach I planted is pretty deep, so I came to see your vegetable greenhouse, and it really is different."
Li Caifeng walked in shaking her head. As a farmer, she was very envious of this greenhouse, but only Lin Heng had the money to build such a greenhouse to eat vegetables in winter.
"We can't even finish this food ourselves, take some."
Xiulan picked up a basket of vegetables and handed it to Li Caifeng and said with a smile.
Li Caifeng said no, but couldn't resist Xiulan's enthusiasm in giving it to her, so she finally took it happily and squatted down to help pick the vegetables.
"Your three children are so well behaved. They can help with the work at such a young age." Li Caifeng said with a smile.
"Haha, they just want to play with it. I can't help you much." Lin Heng said modestly, but he felt like he was showing off.
Li Caifeng likes to take advantage of small things. Ever since she gave in to Xiulan, Xiulan has given her some benefits from time to time. Now she has changed her attitude and speaks well of Xiulan to everyone she meets. She will refute anyone who says something bad about Xiulan.
Li Caifeng smiled and shook her head, "You did such a good job, this is not just a joke."
They chatted while picking vegetables. In half an hour, they had picked all the vegetables and carried them out of the greenhouse together.
After returning home and putting the vegetables away, Lin Heng took some of the vegetables and winter melon and pumpkin to the Taoist temple on the mountain to give them to Taoist Master Li, to thank him for teaching him Tai Chi last time.
Xiulan took her children to take some of the gifts to the village party committee's house and gave them to Tian Yan's mother. These were worthless little things, but they could greatly increase intimacy and goodwill.
"Oh, Mr. Lin, you are too polite. This is too much. I can't finish it by myself."
When Taoist Priest Li saw what Lin Heng brought, he was all smiles and very happy.
There are very few green vegetables in winter, so Lin Heng's gift will definitely be liked by everyone.
Lin Heng smiled and shook his head, "This is just a small token of my appreciation. It's nothing compared to the Taoist teaching me Tai Chi."
"You can't say that. I really want to thank Mr. Lin." Taoist Li said with a smile. He really wanted to eat fresh green vegetables.
Lin Heng chatted with him for a few words, and when he turned back, Xiulan had just come out of Tian Dongfu's house. Wang Qin sent her out and gave her a bowl of fermented tofu that she had made herself. Their words were very cordial.
"Hello, Aunt Wang." Lin Heng walked over and greeted her. After a few words, he took Xiulan and the child back home.
"Smell this fermented tofu, it's quite fragrant and tastes different from the one I make." Xiulan handed the fermented tofu to Lin Heng and said with a smile.
Lin Heng sniffed it and nodded: "It is indeed very fragrant. It seems that more alfalfa powder has been added?"
"Not only that, there are others, but I can't smell them either," said Xiulan.
After returning home chatting and laughing, they began to prepare hot pot. Lin Heng took out the frozen beef and mutton, cut it into slices and put it back into the freezer. Xiulan washed the vegetables and prepared the dipping sauce for the hot pot.
Once everything is ready, light the charcoal and put it into the copper stove and start cooking.
"We're here and we can already smell the fragrance." When it was almost dark, Lin's mother pushed the door open and said with a smile.
"It seems that all we need to do is eat." Father Lin also smiled.
"Grandpa and grandma." Xiaoxia ran out to greet them, extremely happy.
"Grandpa, I'll take you to see the big golden fish." Lu Ming said, holding his grandfather's hand.
Without Lin Heng's invitation, the three children surrounded the two elders and pulled them to the study to watch the fish.
"This glass fish tank is beautiful." Father Lin affirmed, and then asked why the beautiful grass carp was not put in it.
After chatting for a while, everyone sat down around the table, prepared the dipping sauce and started eating hot pot.
"Mom, try this, it's better than rice wine." After eating two bites of bean curd skin, Xiulan poured a glass of purple wine for her mother.
This is the year when the grapes are ripe, and Lin Heng taught her how to make wine. After brewing, he added some rock sugar for flavoring. It tastes sweet and refreshing, and she likes it very much.
Mother Lin took a sip and said, "Teach me how to brew some next year. This is really good."
"It's very simple. I'll teach your mother next year." Xiulan nodded.
Lin Heng didn't say anything, but ate mutton with big mouthfuls. Hot pot mutton is a delicacy that cannot be refused.
Children also love hot pot. There are a variety of foods to eat, but their favorite is hot pot wide noodles. While eating the wide noodles, they will have a satisfied smile on their faces.
Lin's father and mother also had satisfied and happy smiles on their faces. They felt that they were now enjoying the blessing of having many children, as their children were both promising and filial.
Two hours passed unknowingly as we ate delicious food and chatted, and everyone was very satisfied with the meal.
"With the weather these days, it's probably going to snow soon."
Lin Heng sighed as he sent his parents out the door.
"Go ahead, it snows. I haven't seen snow for a long time and I'm looking forward to it." Xiulan said with a smile.
"It will definitely snow." Lin Heng nodded. He also looked forward to the snow outside. The atmosphere of eating hot pot while looking at the snow would be even better.
After coaxing the child, he hugged Xiulan to sleep. He always felt most at ease when Xiulan was by his side. The next day, he stayed at home for another day, and went hunting in the mountains with his eldest brother in the afternoon.
The wind became much stronger today and the temperature was even lower. The two ran for an entire afternoon but caught nothing. In the end, they decided to wait until it snowed before trying again. At least it would be easier to hunt pheasants and golden pheasants at that time.
The next day, Lin Heng went to the city again. This time, he first went to a state-owned pig farm in the city and negotiated a contract to purchase another 1,000 piglets next year.
At the same time, they also got an order from a state-owned pig farm. They decided to purchase one-third of the pig farm's feed from their Hengxiu Feed Factory.
Lin Heng came here to get orders a long time ago, but he had never been successful until this time.
One thousand piglets were ordered here, and another thousand were ordered from the Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Station. He is not currently planning to purchase sows for breeding and raising piglets.
Besides being too troublesome, there are also business considerations. Business can only grow if everyone makes money. There is no need to do this at the moment.
When I have more money in the future, I will invest in a large-scale pig farm and start a one-stop pig-raising business, producing and raising my own piglets, and becoming a super large enterprise with an annual output of one million pigs.
Such large enterprises can keep costs very low.
However, this is just one of Lin Heng’s ideas. Whether to do it or not depends on his mood. After all, there will be too many opportunities in the future, and it will be too easy to make money once you have money.
After the negotiation, Lin Heng returned to the factory. Lin Hai had been in the factory all this time. When he saw Lin Heng, he quickly asked, "Brother Lin, when will our year-end summary meeting be held this year?"
"There's no rush. Let's talk about it after New Year's Day." Lin Heng said. He has been busy signing a contract with the state-owned slaughterhouse these days.
"Okay." Lin Hai nodded and said with a smile, "The workers in our factory are all looking forward to the year-end meeting and want you to give them year-end bonuses."
Lin Heng laughed and said, "Don't worry, everyone has one, so don't worry about it."
He has never been a stingy person in this regard, especially now is the time to make the pie bigger.
"Thank you, Brother Lin." Lin Hai smiled. He was also looking forward to the year-end bonus. Tian Yan was planning to move their household registration to the city, and he was going to wait for the New Year's salary and year-end bonus to buy a house.
Brother Tian Yan is now doing very well in the Nanshan County Government, and his girlfriend is the daughter of a big shot in the city, so it is very easy for them to change their household registration.
Lin Hai told Lin Heng all these things. He treated Lin Heng as his own brother and trusted him completely.
Lin Heng was actually very clear about all this, otherwise he would not have found a way for Lin Hai to date Tian Yan.
Lin Heng did not go home in the afternoon. He had lunch at the factory and chatted with Wang Zhou and Lin Hai.
The next morning, he went to the state-owned slaughterhouse, talked with the leaders there, and then took them back to the pig farm to understand the situation.
After seeing the quality of the pigs, the contract was signed smoothly.
In addition to what happened here, Lin Heng also reported his deeds to the town. The town needed a year-end publicity target, and he needed fame. His matter was reported quickly, and he was added to this year's year-end list of outstanding young entrepreneurs. He can also be nominated as a representative next year.
In line with the historical trend, what he is doing now are all good means of publicity, and it is also his credit to lead the village to prosperity. With this reputation, it will be easier for him to get many subsidies and do business more smoothly.
At this critical juncture, people like him who dare to fight are needed as promotional role models for the launch of the market economy. Under the influence of various factors, Lin Heng became famous easily, and success also became easy.
This is what is called the wind is blowing, even a pig can take off against the wind. (End of this chapter)
