Chapter 365 Is it a wolf cub or a husky?
"Then I'll go and have a rest." Lin Heng nodded and said, he was really tired.
After a quick wash, Lin Heng went back to his room to rest, took off his clothes and fell asleep.
When he woke up, it was already past four in the afternoon. Looking at the dim sky outside, he shook his head and walked out.
"It's raining again!" Lin Heng said in surprise. He hadn't noticed this while in the house.
"It started raining not long after you slept," replied Xiulan.
"Where is the cold medicine I bought in the city? I feel like I have a little fever." Lin Heng looked at Xiulan and asked.
"It's in the small cabinet. Take your temperature first." Xiulan took out the thermometer from the small cabinet in her bedroom.
Lin Heng sat in the main room and took his temperature. He really had a fever and felt helpless. His physical condition had always been very good, but he didn't expect to catch a cold after catching a fish last night.
"It must be because you slept alternately hot and cold last night. Take the fever medicine yourself. I'll get you some ginger and brown sugar water."
As Xiulan spoke, she got up and went to the kitchen. She cut some ginger and brown sugar, put them in a ceramic pot of hot milk tea, and then put it on the fireplace to cook.
Lin Heng took some antipyretic medicine and then drank some ginger juice and brown sugar water after a while.
"Are you feeling better now? Do you still need to rest?" Xiulan asked after seeing him finish drinking.
"It's okay. My headache doesn't hurt anymore." Lin Heng shook his head.
Xiulan smiled playfully: "Then you take care of the two sons, I'm going to wash the diapers."
"Just watch me go take a shower. I'm afraid I'll infect them with a cold." Lin Heng said. He wasn't sure if he had a cold or not.
"That's fine. I'll tell you how to wash it." Xiulan didn't refuse.
Xiulan's diaper was already soaked, so Lin Heng just added some hot water and washed it clean as Xiulan instructed.
He worked patiently, unlike the young guy who was clumsy, and Xiulan was very satisfied.
After washing, hang it on the wooden rack next to the fireplace and it will be dry in a few hours.
"Have a drink of water."
Lin Heng sat on the sofa and Xiulan handed him a glass of water.
The two children were moving grunting in the cradle, looking at everything outside with their clear eyes, and would smile foolishly when they saw Lin Heng waving.
Xiaoxia was playing with a few puppies on the mat nearby. She was very happy entertaining herself with the puppies.
Lin Heng drank some water, rested for a while, and then went to the door to look at the rain.
The rain is very cold. Although the Waking of Insects has passed, it is not yet the Spring Equinox, and there is still a month before Qingming. The weather is not much different from winter.
He was wearing the cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles that Xiulan had made for him, but he didn't go out because the shoes would easily rot if they got wet.
"We can start growing seedlings in the middle of the month." Lin Heng said with emotion.
"Dad, I want to plant sunflowers this year!" Xiaoxia suddenly stood up and said.
"Why do you want to plant sunflowers?" Lin Heng looked at her curiously.
It was raining, so Lai Fu ran into the house, where several puppies were feeding. Xiong Ba watched from the side, looking very bored.
"The painting my aunt gave me has a sunflower on it. She said that sunflowers can find the sun by themselves, and they are so big and beautiful." Xiaoxia said, tilting her head and waving her little hands.
"Okay, I'll take you to plant sunflowers in a few days." Lin Heng touched his daughter's little head.
After watching the rain for a while, Lin Heng turned around and went back to the study, wrote some of the novel he had conceived, and then took a book to the living room to read.
Compared to the living room, the study is still too cold.
In the blink of an eye, it was already dark. Xiulan looked at Lin Heng and said, "I'm going to cook. You take care of the child."
"Steam the fish I brought back and we'll eat it in the evening," said Lin Heng.
"I understand." Xiulan said and went to the kitchen.
Lin Heng looked at the two little guys, teased them and didn't let them fall asleep so that they wouldn't stay awake at night.
The strategy we adopt now is to try not to let the child sleep in the afternoon, so that it is easy to coax him to sleep at night.
Xiulan had prepared the meal at around seven o'clock, but she didn't make steamed fish. Instead, she cooked mushroom fish soup.
In addition, I also got a box of stir-fried pork with pickled radish and a plate of stir-fried cabbage.
Xiaoxia likes to eat fish and cabbage, so after eating a little rice, she eats cabbage and fish. Xiulan eats a little of everything, but not much, so Lin Heng gives her a bowl of fish, and the three of them finish this dish in the evening.
After dinner, Lin Heng wanted to rest, but Xiaoxia asked him to read, so he lay on the bed and read a novel for more than an hour. He drank two glasses of water, and Xiulan and Xiaoxia listened with great interest.
The next morning, Lin Heng's symptoms had basically disappeared. Apart from a sore throat, he had no other problems.
The spring rain was still falling outside, keeping the family indoors. Lin Heng didn't feel like reading today, so he began to try to train six puppies.
They are two months old and fully trainable. After a morning of training, the dogs' intelligence is basically confirmed.
The smartest one is the puppy with green pupils and black and yellow hair, which looks very similar to Xiongba. The next one is the white dog, and there is also one with black and white hair and one with black and yellow hair.
The most disobedient ones were the two gray-haired guys. At first, Lin Heng thought they were the largest and looked like wolf cubs, so he had high hopes for them. But now it seems that these two guys are not wolf cubs, but look like huskies.
He is fat and good at snatching food. He looks very handsome, but he has no obedience to orders.
In just one morning, the other dogs learned the most basic commands of sit and hold paw, but these two idiots knew nothing at all and would always run off to play somewhere else.
Lin Heng had no choice but to eat lunch and prepare to continue training in the afternoon. His dog training skills were average, but he bought some relevant books and followed everything in the books.
There has been nothing going on at Hongfeng Mountain recently, so he stays at home with his children and wife, and occasionally goes out hunting.
“Boom boom boom!”
"Brother Lin, it's me!"
Lin Heng was training the dog when he heard Lin Hai calling at the door outside.
He stood up and opened the door, and the puppies followed him. When he opened the door, Lin Hai was standing outside, holding a bag of lotus roots.
Seeing Lin Heng, Lin Hai smiled and said, "Brother Lin Heng, I can't finish the lotus roots at home, so I'll bring some over for you."
"Thank you, please come in and sit down." Lin Heng patted his shoulder and led him into the house.
"What have you been doing at home recently?" Lin Heng asked as they walked.
Lin Hai smiled and replied: "I didn't do anything. I just dug a pond with my dad at home. Now we have dug a second pond. We dug our original lotus field of more than half an acre. These are the lotus roots we dug out."
"Is that so? It seems you have really made up your mind." Lin Heng said as he poured him two cups of tea.
We drank tea and chatted, and the topic ranged from digging ponds to raising shrimps to his kiwi fruit orchard.
"Brother Lin Heng, how come you and sister-in-law have such a good relationship? I've never heard of you having any conflicts." Lin Hai asked curiously after taking a sip of water. He was particularly envious of brother and sister-in-law Lin Heng and Chen Xiulan. It was so great that they lived in harmony.
"It's not that I didn't, it's just that Xiulan has a good personality and didn't bother with me." Lin Heng said with a smile.
Xiulan's stable mood and gentle personality are the key to all this. Otherwise, even if he has a good temper, if he meets a crazy woman who gets angry easily, there will definitely be a quarrel or even a fight. This kind of thing is a two-way process.
Of course, in addition to this, there is another very important point, that is, harmonious sex life between husband and wife.
Xiulan looked at Lin Heng and blinked without saying anything.
Without giving Lin Hai a chance to speak, Lin Heng asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Are you and Tian Yan having a quarrel?"
"You should have known about this Brother Lin for a long time. She went to the city to teach a few days ago." Lin Hai's expression was a little bitter.
Lin Heng looked at him and said, "You are a little too stingy. It's a good thing for people to go to the city to teach. Why do you want to stop them?"
Lin Hai was silent for a moment and said, "It's just... it's just that my brain was seizure at that time!"
However, experienced people like Xiulan and Lin Heng could see what was going on at a glance, and it was obviously caused by inferiority complex.
He was afraid that Tian Yan would go to the city and see someone better and leave him, so he was always at odds with her during the New Year and didn't want her to go to the city.
"Let's go out for a walk." Lin Heng patted his shoulder and said.
After going out, Lin Hai became anxious when there was no one else around. He looked at Lin Heng and said, "Brother Lin, what do you think I should do? I seem to have really pissed off Tian Yan this time. She didn't even inform me when she left."
Lin Heng looked at him and shook his head, saying, "It's your inferiority complex that's causing the problem. If she wants to go, just let her go. Why don't you go to the city too? Work hard to make money, and you can see her every day."
Lin Hai was at a loss: "I don't know what to do when I go to the city!"
"I'll tell you one more thing. Women all admire strong men. You have to at least work hard to improve yourself. Otherwise, people will only look down on you more and more."
Lin Heng patted his shoulder, paused for a moment and continued, "As for you not knowing what to do, what can't you do now? Reselling some small commodities, doing manual labor, as long as you work hard, there are many jobs you can do."
"I understand. I'll go back first." Lin Hai nodded and walked towards the house with a thoughtful look on his face.
Lin Heng looked at him and did not provide much help. Although they were playmates since childhood, he was not a babysitter. The most he could do was to show you a way, and it was up to him how to do it.
If he can really endure hardships and make a name for himself in the city, he can call on him to help when his feed factory opens.
"Lin Hai left? You didn't invite him to dinner?"
Seeing Lin Heng coming back, Xiulan asked curiously.
"I guess he's not in the mood to eat." Lin Heng said with a smile, and then told Xiulan the content of his persuasion.
After hearing this, Xiulan said, "Tian Yan actually cares about him a lot. It depends on what he thinks. We shouldn't get involved too much."
"I think so too." Lin Heng nodded and continued to train the puppy.
The rain got heavier at night and stopped early the next morning. There was a lot of rain in the early spring this year, and everyone was very happy, as it meant it would probably be a year of bumper harvest.
Lin Heng estimated that it would be easier to pick mushrooms this year, which made him look forward to it.
The next morning, the sky was clear and blue with no clouds in sight. The sun came out after a long absence and I felt the long-lost warmth outdoors.
Lin Heng's life continued as usual. He went to Hongfeng Mountain to check on the hatching of cattle, sheep and fish eggs. He could tell with the naked eye whether the fish eggs had started to hatch or were dead.
After looking at the fish eggs, the weather was good today, so Lin's father called him to go herd cattle together and asked Lin's mother to go over to help take care of the children.
Lin Heng did not refuse. He took Xiongba and four obedient puppies with him, and also took Xiaoxia, who wanted to stick to her.
In the mountains, Xiongba led his sons to herd cattle and sheep, and Lin Heng was also teaching them. He found that the green-eyed puppy learned really quickly, and he drove the cattle and sheep in a very professional manner, howling loudly.
The other three were mostly playing around, and they were having a lot of fun with Xiaoxia.
On the way back in the afternoon, Lin Heng was stopped by the village chief Tian Dongfu: "Lin Heng, let's go to my house and talk about things."
"Okay." Lin Heng did not refuse and brought Xiaoxia to Tian Dongfu's house.
He poured Lin a cup of tea and brought Xiaoxia some food, then said with a smile, "I came to you for two main things. One is about setting up a cooperative, and the other is about buying seeds. The seeds you bought last year had a very good harvest, and everyone in the village wants you to buy the same seeds as last year."
Lin Heng took a sip of tea and said, "The seeds are fine. I'm going to buy some in the next few days and I can bring some to everyone. How about the cooperative?"
"After what you said last time, I considered it comprehensively and decided that growing Panax notoginseng would be a good idea," Tian Dongfu said with a smile.
Lin Heng asked again: "What about the specific method of cooperation?"
Tian Dongfu said, "Well, I want you to provide seeds, and the villagers can take them back to their own land to plant them. In the end, the crops will be sold by the village. You will take 20% of the profits, and the rest will be distributed according to the proportions of each household."
"I think this is difficult to do. Uncle Tian, why don't you find a way to get a loan to do this? I'm afraid I can't support it alone." Lin Heng thought for a while and said. It's not that he has no confidence in Tian Dongfu, but he has no confidence in the villagers.
"If there are loans, I think fewer people will be willing to farm," Tian Dongfu said helplessly.
"How about this, Uncle Tian, you wait for two or three years, and I will give you my full support then. I also need money now." Lin Heng said with a smile. It would not be a problem to support him after his career is on the rise, but the cost would be too high to invest now.
Seeing that Lin Heng was not interested in this, Tian Dongfu had no choice but to say, "Let's discuss this later. You can buy the grain seeds for me."
"That's no problem." Lin Heng nodded in agreement.
After saying that, he took Xiaoxia away from the village party secretary's house, and it was almost dark when they returned.
Xiulan had almost finished cooking in the room. Seeing him coming back, she asked curiously, "Why are you back so late?"
"I went to the village party secretary's house." Lin Heng briefly told the story and said that he would go to the city to buy seeds in the next two days.
Xiulan said, "Just buy the seeds. I don't think it's reliable to set up a cooperative. If the villagers want to cheat and sell the seeds themselves, the Sanqi Village Committee will be helpless. They can't control so many people, right?"
"I think so too." Lin Heng nodded. The legal system is not yet perfect, and it is easy to lose all your money in this kind of cooperation.
At first he was quite optimistic because as long as they cooperated well, not only would the villagers become wealthy, but he would also be able to make a lot of money.
But the difficulty lies in getting people to keep their promises. I guess few people can keep their promises when it comes to money.
After dinner, Lin Heng and Xiulan decided to go into the city the day after tomorrow, but an unexpected situation occurred the next afternoon, which forced him to change his itinerary.
