It was already 1995, and 12 years had passed since Lin Heng was reborn. Now he had already achieved financial freedom.
The feed factory is not developing very fast and is only somewhat famous within the province. It can earn about four to five million a year. It mainly produces feed and various veterinary medicines.
He had stopped raising animals a long time ago, and gave the pig farm to his elder brother, letting him continue raising animals. He raised some animals for his own consumption in his fish pond and ecological farm.
The one that has developed the best is his electromechanical factory. After the accumulation in the early years, the electromechanical factory has now transformed from simply producing motor equipment to producing more various machinery and electrical appliances.
He introduced a large number of electrical production lines and built several factories. Today, Hengxiu brand electrical appliances are well-known throughout the country and bring him more than 10 million in net profits a year.
In addition, the most profitable one is Hengxiu Investment Co., Ltd. which he founded later. According to his memory of rebirth, all the investments he made were guaranteed to make money. Even if it has just started now, it can still make a profit of 10 or 20 million in one year.
This amount of money made him the richest man in Taibai City. With his help, his relatives and friends also started various small businesses, including infrastructure, real estate, gas stations and other basic industries that did not require much technology but could generate long-term profits.
After the land transfer rights were sold, Lin Heng also invested in purchasing a lot of land, planning to build houses in the future. It can be said that under his management, the Lin family has become a wealthy family in the entire Taibai City, with extensive connections.
But even so, Lin Heng himself is very low-key, humble and kind. Most people who see him cannot associate him with a person who became the richest man in a city at the age of 30.
This is a truth that Lin Heng understood after living for so long in his previous life. There are always people better than you. You must not be too high-profile as a person. Don't think you are second only to others just because you have some ability.
Of course, although he is low-key, no matter who meets him, they have to respectfully call him Mr. Lin. At the banquet, if he says he doesn't drink, no one dares to let him hold the glass.
Caiyun and Liu Ciwen had already graduated from university, but he did not ask them to come to the company to help him. Instead, he asked them to take postgraduate entrance exams and continue to work hard, and he paid for all the money.
In college, Liu Ciwen and Caiyun, the two childhood sweethearts, naturally became lovers, supported and grew up with each other, and getting married in the future was a natural outcome.
In addition to Caiyun and Liu Ciwen, some other poor students he sponsored came to work in his company. He likes young people who are energetic and creative and is willing to train them.
His business is not limited to Taibai City, but has expanded to the provincial capital, other provinces and even the coastal areas. He just takes it step by step, making steady progress and not being rash.
As for the children, Xiaoxia has started junior high school, and Luming and Duheng are in the fifth grade of elementary school. All three children are smart, lively, confident and sunny, without the inferiority and cowardice that Lin Heng and his friends had when they were young.
Over the years, Lin Heng has taken Xiulan to visit all the famous scenic spots in the province. They have houses in various cities and can live there for a while whenever they want.
Apart from the beach, the place they go to most often in their own province, Lin Heng has also bought several houses in Shanghai, and he is also planning to buy some in other coastal cities.
Xiulan, who had rarely been to the beach, was shocked by the scenery. She pulled Lin Heng to run on the beach and watch the sea from the rocks. The children who followed them screamed as they looked at the endless sea.
There is also life in the Magic City. The Magic City of this era has become extremely prosperous, with all kinds of novel things to keep up with, and everyone is like Granny Liu who entered the Grand View Garden.
In order to let his parents come and relax, Lin Heng also brought them over to play for two months. Such a prosperous place brought great shock to the two of them, and they were shocked by the disparity in this world.
It was August of that year. Over the sea in the southeast of our motherland, the sky was as clear blue as a mirror, with only a few scattered white clouds dotted on it. The scorching sun shone directly on the blue sea.
There was no wind at the moment, and there were only small waves on the endless seashore.
A small yacht with a length of 15 meters is sailing slowly on the blue sea.
A group of people were leaning on the deck of the yacht. The men were holding fishing rods, while the women were drinking juice under the parasols nearby and leisurely looking at the beautiful scenery.
This group of people was none other than Lin Heng's family. In addition to Lin Heng, Xiulan, Lin's father and mother and their three children, Caiyun and Liu Ciwen, who were on summer vacation, were also among them. However, it was their first time on a boat and they felt so dizzy that they had to sit on the bench.
In addition, there are Lin Heng's eldest brother and his family, Tian Yan and Lin Hai's family. Both men and women are wearing cool clothes, not shorts and bikinis like in the movies.
This group of people have been playing here for half a month. The yacht is a small yacht that Lin Heng bought for 800,000 yuan, and is used for fishing and sightseeing near the coast.
"Grandpa, Dad, haven't you caught any fish yet?" Xiaoxia asked as she watched Lin Heng and others fishing.
"It has just been thrown down, why are you in such a hurry, dear?" Lin Heng grinned.
"That's right, dad will catch a big one for you later." Lin Yue said with a smile.
They had just arrived at this sea area and had been fishing for less than five minutes. When fishing in the sea, you have to cast a long line to catch big fish.
"Grandpa, you caught a small one, can you let me play with it?" Lin Wei rubbed against his grandfather Lin Xuan'an.
"We want to play too." Lu Ming also shouted. Beside him, his younger brother Du Heng and his cousin Lin Tao were watching eagerly.
They have experienced fishing for small fish at the seaside, but they have never tried fishing for big fish in the sea. The main reason is that the fish here are big and they are small and cannot control them easily, so they can't try it.
"Okay, if I catch a small fish later, I'll let you take turns playing with it." Father Lin smiled and nodded. He was very fond of these grandchildren.
In recent years, Lin Heng often took him out to play, which made him realize that his child is now a super rich man and he doesn't have to work hard. He can earn more in a year than his son in a day, so it's time to enjoy himself.
Fishing at sea was an experience he had never had before. As a man from the mountains, he thought he would never have the chance to see the sea in his life, but now he can stand on the cruise ship and fish leisurely, enjoying a truly carefree life.
"I'm going to catch some fish here, hurry up and get the scoop net."
As they were talking here, Lin Hai started shouting excitedly and shaking the wheel in his hand frantically to reel in the line.
"Oh, it's not very big. It's probably just three or four pounds." Lin Hai shook his head after shaking for a while.
After swimming for a while, he felt exhausted, so he picked up the fishing rod and handed it to Lin Wei, saying, "You guys want to play, take turns."
"Thank you, Fourth Dad." Lin Wei happily ran over, took the fishing rod and started fishing.
Although adults didn't feel much of it, children were still having fun. Several of them took turns having fun. They were not satisfied and even loosened the line to let the fish run away for a while before pulling it again. When the sea bass weighing more than four kilograms was finally caught, it didn't struggle at all.
"I'm here too, but it doesn't seem big either." At this time Lin Yue also spoke up and started to hang up the line.
Father Lin soon exclaimed, "I caught a fish too. Hey, this one is pretty big."
After a while, Lin Yue pulled up a stonefish weighing one jin, while Lin's father caught a swordfish, weighing more than twenty jin, which made him happy for a long time.
"Honey, why is there no movement over here?"
Xiulan walked over and looked at Lin Heng who was standing by the railing and asked with a smile, reaching out to wipe the sweat off his face while speaking. After so many years, she looked more beautiful and gentle, and her every move showed a touch of elegance and nobility compared to previous years.
Her life has been getting better and better since she gave birth to twins. Plus, Lin Heng has money to buy her all kinds of skin-protecting products, so she naturally doesn't age so quickly.
"I made a big bait because I want to catch a big one. Why don't you try your luck?" Lin Heng said with a smile.
He has caught a lot of fish at the beach in the past few years, but he has never caught enough. He wants to come and play whenever he has the chance. Xiulan always accompanies him, and occasionally he goes fishing for fun by himself.
"I don't want to play. I'm too tired to play." Xiulan smiled and shook her head. Compared to fishing, she preferred to watch Lin Heng play, or diving with Lin Heng. Wearing diving suits and carrying oxygen tanks, diving into the seabed together was the sport she fell in love with after coming to the beach.
"Okay then. I'll come back after I've had a drink of water and catch you a big one so we can eat it later..."
Lin Heng finished smiling and was about to go get a glass of water when he suddenly felt the fishing line move. He quickly reached out to pull it but found that he couldn't pull it.
"Is it stuck?" Lin Heng reeled in the line in confusion. At this moment, the line was suddenly pulled out and he couldn't control it.
"Oh my God, honey, did you catch a tuna?" Xiulan exclaimed from the side.
"What a loud noise! Could it really be the Big Golden Gun?" Lin Yue also walked over excitedly, ready to help at any time.
"Let me see, Grandpa, pick me up and let me see!"
"I want one too!"
A group of people on the boat looked over, but except for the children, the adults didn't move, because it would take at least half an hour to see the big fish.
Lin Heng grinned and said, "I think it's possible. I came out this time just to catch golden tuna. I heard from fishermen a few days ago that there were big golden tuna around here."
In this era, the domestic offshore resources are also very abundant, with many fish such as yellow croaker and tuna.
Bluefin tuna often appear in this sea area. If you catch one, it will weigh at least hundreds of kilograms.
After a few minutes of pulling the line out, Lin Heng started to reel it in. He called his eldest brother and the two grown men to help, otherwise they wouldn't be able to pull it together.
After going back and forth for more than ten minutes, Lin Yue said in surprise: "No, brother, this fish doesn't look like tuna."
The main reason was that he felt the fish was swimming a little slowly. He had once caught a golden tuna weighing more than 50 kilograms, and the fish was pulling the line very quickly, with hundreds of meters of line in a short time.
Although the thing Lin Heng fished this time was very powerful, the line speed was not that fast, which made him a little confused.
"I think so too." Lin Heng nodded. He has been sea fishing for two years and can be considered a veteran. Although he has never caught tuna due to his bad luck, he has seen others catch them, and he knows that the feeling is indeed not right.
"What kind of fish is that? Could it be a giant shark, Dad?" Xiaoxia asked, tilting her head.
"I think it's a big whale!"
"Impossible, the whale is too big, it's probably just a small shark at best, maybe a sea turtle."
…
Before the adults spoke, the children's curiosity had already been aroused. They argued with each other, and their words revealed their longing for the big fish.
"You guys continue strolling first, I'm going to take a rest." Lin Heng said after strolling for half an hour.
After giving the fishing rod to Lin Hai and his father, he and his elder brother went to rest aside. As it was getting hot, they took off their short-sleeved shirts and sat under the awning to drink water.
Lin Heng's figure is even more stylish than before. He didn't develop huge muscles like a fighting boxer, but his lines are smooth and his six-pack abs are very obvious. His eye-catching figure made several waitresses who were helping on the boat look at him sideways.
"Caiyun, Ciwen, are you feeling better? Do you want to go fishing?" Lin Heng sat down next to Xiulan, looking at his sister and Liu Ciwen not far away.
"Goodbye, brother. I'll just sit here and look at the sea." Caiyun waved his hands repeatedly. This boat was different from a car. He felt very dizzy.
"I'll play for a while. I'm still a little dizzy now. Brother Lin, you play yours." Liu Ciwen said with a smile.
"Okay." Lin Heng drank two sips of water, chatted with his mother, Xiulan, Tian Yan and others, hugged his daughter and son, and went to take over from Lin Hai and his father.
"The fish is about to come out. The line has been reeled in half." Father Lin handed the fishing rod to Lin Heng and said.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely pull it out after I've rested well this time." Lin Heng patted his chest and said with a smile.
After taking the fishing rod, he and his eldest brother took turns to pull the fishing line. After about another twenty minutes, there was only thirty or forty meters of fishing line left. Now everyone had gathered in front of the railing to watch.
As Lin Heng reeled in and released the fishing line several times, the big fish that had been slipping for nearly fifty minutes finally surfaced. Everyone was stunned when they saw the fish.
"Oh my God, what kind of fish is this? It's so ugly!" Lin Wei came to the beach for the first time and looked at the fish in the sea in confusion.
"I know, this is a giant grouper!" Xiaoxia raised her hand and said with a smile. She has read many popular science books on marine fish.
A crew member nearby said excitedly: "We are rich! This fish is at least 150 to 160 kilograms and can be sold for several thousand yuan."
"It is indeed a grouper. We didn't catch any tuna, but we caught a giant grouper which is not bad. We will go back tonight and eat it, and take the rest back home."
Lin Heng said with a smile, but he was not as excited as the crew members. Even a big golden spear was nothing to him now. The main thing was the feeling of catching a big fish.
"Come on, everyone take a ride and experience it." Lin Heng said with a smile. He first handed the fishing rod to his wife Xiulan and helped by the side.
Even if this big fish has no strength left, it is still very exciting to swim with it. Everyone comes out to have fun, so naturally they all want to experience it. Lin Heng doesn't care if it runs away, it's just a fish.
"It's so heavy, no wonder it took so long." Xiulan said after sliding for a while.
"Let me try." Tian Yan ran over excitedly when she saw the big fish. When she took it in her hand, she immediately understood why Xiulan was struggling so much.
"Husband, come and help." After a while, Tian Yan couldn't hold on any longer and shouted.
Then everyone took turns to experience it, and finally even the child Lin Heng was allowed to experience it, but he had to hold the child, otherwise the child would be pulled into the sea with just a move of the fish's head.
After everyone experienced the fish, they were completely exhausted, so they shot it with a spear gun and salvaged it.
"Come, let's take a picture." Lin Heng placed the fish on the deck and said with a smile while looking at everyone.
A group of people gathered together and took many photos before they started to slaughter and cut up the fish and put it into the cold storage. It was impossible to bring such a big fish back alive.
"No wonder people say it's good to live by the sea, there are so many supplies." Lin's mother sighed as she watched the crew killing fish. After seeing what she saw here, she finally understood why some people called their hometown a remote and poor place. It was indeed incomparable.
"Of course, there are more opportunities at the seaside than inland." Lin Heng said with a smile. There are very few poor people in coastal cities, and here even ordinary people have more opportunities for development.
Fortunately, he became rich in this life, so he could go wherever he wanted and no longer cared about the coastal area or the inland area.
Then he added with a smile: "But we are short of supplies along the coast. There are better places abroad. I will take you there in a few years."
In this era of global trade, since he has become rich first, he cannot just stick to that small inland area. Naturally, he must also invest in coastal areas and even foreign countries.
Taibai City is just a base camp that we will retreat to when we have no other choice. It's fine as long as Big Brother and his men are in charge.
"I'm really interested in going abroad." Father Lin said as he reeled in the line. After seeing the vastness of the ocean, he also wanted to wander around.
"Then I'll take you out to play when I get a chance." Lin Heng said with a smile. Now the timing is not very suitable, so we have to wait a little longer.
They chatted here for a while, and then went up to the rooftop of the yacht to eat together. The table was mostly seafood, needless to say, lobsters and abalone, and everyone could pick up a whole one and eat it to their heart's content.
The top floor is made entirely of sunshade glass and is equipped with air conditioning. When you eat here, you can see the vast ocean and the blue sky and white clouds all around you, and the feeling is naturally extraordinary.
After enjoying lunch and fishing for a while in the afternoon, they drove the boat back to the seaside and spent the afternoon playing on the beach and swimming in the sea.
Lin Heng first accompanied Xiulan to swim. After Xiulan learned how to swim, she was quite interested in it. Lin Heng himself was interested in swimming. They played in the sea for more than 40 minutes before they went to the beach to rest.
"Are your hands and feet tired?" Lin Heng asked with a smile, holding her hand.
Xiulan smiled and nodded her head, "Yes, a little bit. I'm a little hungry."
"Then let's go to the room, eat something and then go to the balcony to apply some oil, sunbathe and watch the sunset." Lin Heng pulled her and said softly.
On the beach, Xiulan wore a completely tight swimsuit and swimming trunks. She would never wear a three-point bikini in public. She would only wear it for Lin Heng to see when she was alone.
Even though she knew that this was normal in the coastal areas, she would not wear it. The best side belonged only to Lin Heng.
"Okay, then I'll go tell Tian Yan and mom and ask them to look after the children." Xiulan nodded and walked towards her parents.
The children are having a lot of fun making sand sculptures and picking up shells on the beach, and they are not as clingy as before.
The two said goodbye to their parents and others and went back to the hotel. After getting some food, they went directly to the private balcony outside the suite, where they could see the sunrise, sunset and everything on the beach, but the people on the beach could not see them.
There was no one else around, so Xiulan also changed into a three-point black bikini, and her proud figure was immediately exposed.
Her huge body did not sag at all, and she had a curvy figure, a slender waist and long legs, and skin as white as milk, which formed a strong visual contrast with the black bikini.
"It's so beautiful, my wife." Lin Heng laughed. He liked this feeling. It was a scenery that belonged to him alone.
"Then carry me out and apply sunscreen for me." Xiulan blinked her big eyes. As an old couple, she was not as shy as before.
Lin Heng immediately picked her up by the waist and looked at Xiulan in his arms with a smile. It was definitely a rare sight to appreciate her like this under the strong sunlight in broad daylight.
They went to the large double lounge chair under the parasol. Lin Heng asked her to eat first while he applied sunscreen all over her body.
After she finished eating, she began to apply sunscreen on Lin Heng's body. When Xiulan finished and was about to lie down beside him, she smiled and pulled her into her arms: "You have too much oil on your body, can you apply it on your body, please, honey?"
"Hate~" Xiulan poked his head, but still met his request.
After a while, their eyes became tense. Lin Heng couldn't help but hugged Xiulan. She also took the initiative to hug his neck, and they went back to the room together.
After forty minutes, the two returned to the balcony refreshed and reapplied sunscreen. Then they lay down together, eating fruit and looking at the sea, enjoying a pleasant time.
After a while, Xiulan dozed off, her body slightly flushed. Not only had she gone fishing in the morning and swimming in the afternoon, but she had also done some strenuous exercise with Lin Heng, so naturally she was extremely sleepy.
Lin Heng was in a similar situation. He had consumed a lot of energy fishing in the morning and had put in a lot of effort, so he soon fell asleep.
It was not until seven o'clock in the afternoon that Xiulan woke up first. When she looked up, she saw that the sun had just set where the sea and the sky met. Compared with the sunset in the mountains, the sunset on the sea has a different kind of beauty.
"Watch the sunset!" Xiulan shouted, shaking Lin Heng's arm gently.
Lin Heng woke up in a daze, yawned and said, "The sun is about to set."
"That's right, we've both slept for more than three hours." Xiulan fed him a grape and said with a smile.
"Then it's great for watching the sunset." Lin Heng smiled and leaned down a little to rest his head in Xiulan's soft and broad arms. The two of them watched the huge red sun slowly setting on the seashore.
Xiulan gently held his head and watched the sunset. Although they had watched countless sunsets, they still wanted to watch it every time. There was always a different feeling at this moment.
As the crimson setting sun slowly descended from the sea level, a few cargo ships floated far away in the setting sun. Some seabirds in the sky flapped their wings to find their way home. The number of people on the beach gradually decreased, and the sound of the tide gradually became clearer.
"Come on, let's go eat."
Xiulan waited until the sun completely disappeared before she stood up and spoke.
The two returned to the house, took a shower, changed their clothes, and went out to have dinner with the others.
They stayed here for a while over the next few days, and only returned to Taibai City together when the children were about to start school.
The small town is naturally not as developed as the coastal areas, but it has its own tranquility and an inseparable sense of hometown.
They brought back a lot of coastal seafood, and the children also picked up many beautiful conch shells and took them back to give to their friends.
Xiaoxia, Luming and Du Heng are still studying in Taibai City. Lin Heng did not send them to the provincial capital or coastal areas where educational resources are better. Of course, it is not because he is reluctant, but because there is no need.
He has become rich, so it doesn't matter whether his children do well in the exam or not. Even if they don't do well in the exam, he can use his wealth to send them to good universities. Academic qualifications are no longer meaningful to them. What is more important is to improve themselves.
They feel at ease keeping their children around, and they can teach them by example. If the children want to learn something, it is not a problem to go to the provincial capital during the winter and summer vacations to hire a few good teachers to teach them.
After the children went to school, Lin Heng went to handle company affairs as usual. His company is now a behemoth with an orderly organizational structure. All he has to do is to steer the ship and grasp the general direction, and someone else will naturally do the rest.
He only works four hours a day. When Xiulan is bored, she comes to the company to do some work. It is like finding something to do. People will become useless if they have nothing to do.
It is Mid-Autumn Festival in a blink of an eye. When the children are on vacation, we can go back to our hometown together to pick wild fruits and chestnuts in the mountains.
After years of operation, Hongfeng Village has become a well-known paradise in Taibai City. Now, when autumn comes, many people come here to enjoy the beautiful scenery and pick wild fruits.
After so many years of continuous transformation, Hongfeng Village in autumn is a sea of red and yellow, with red maple leaves and cotinus, yellow poplar, ginkgo, etc., and green tea gardens.
The road has been built to the mountain, and some beautiful small houses and B&Bs have been built in many places. While renovating the mountain, we are also preparing to develop Sanchagou, which will be no worse than the village if it is well built.
The Shiban River has also been renovated. Playing by the river in autumn gives you a feeling of entering a paradise, with colorful trees on both sides and light green gurgling river water in the middle.
Although it was Mid-Autumn Festival when Lin Heng and his friends returned, the scenery had already begun to emerge. After so many years of development, Hongfeng Mountain was naturally as beautiful as a garden in a dream.
This is a place that belongs exclusively to Lin Heng's family. No matter how much money you offer, it will not be open to the public. Only the ecological farm next to it is open. If you live there, you can still enjoy the beautiful scenery of Red Maple Mountain.
Every spring and autumn, many people visit the ecological farm. In addition to enjoying the scenery, another big reason is that they want to see the home of the richest man in Taibai City.
Although Lin Heng is a very low-key person, he is very famous. Not only is he good at making money, but his two books are also very popular. In addition, he is very young. The combination of these factors makes him have a very strong personal charm.
Business people want to come and try their luck to see if they can meet him, and some women who want to marry into a rich family also dream of encountering him.
Even when Lin Heng is not at home, he will hire a professional gardening master to take care of it every year, so the house is still as beautiful when they come back.
The children went to see the turtles first. The big turtles they raised when they were young were all at home in the city, and the ones in the garden pond were the descendants of those turtles.
"Let's go dig some ginseng from the mountain and stew it with chicken." Lin Heng said to the children.
"Here I come!"
Upon hearing this, the children rushed over. Xiulan gave each of them a small basket, and then they went up the mountain together.
In addition to the scenery, there are of course all kinds of wild fruits planted by humans on the mountain. They first took a walk in the forest. Now the ginseng under the forest are ten years old, and some other medicinal herbs are six or seven years old. They are all worth a lot of money.
However, Lin Heng has never sold it. This is the medicine garden belonging to his family, and he will not sell it unless he goes bankrupt.
They searched in the woods for a while and dug up a ginseng and two codonopsis. Lin Heng and Xiulan didn't have to do anything because the children were very interested and they just had to provide guidance from the side.
After digging up the medicinal herbs for stewing the chicken, they went to the woods to pick wild fruits, such as wax gourd, schisandra chinensis, cornus officinalis, etc.
While picking, they also took a walk in the mountains. They were lucky enough to pick up pine mushrooms and morels. After returning home, Lin Heng accompanied Xiulan to the kitchen to cook, and prepared to call his parents and eldest brother to come over to eat.
The children ran into the garden to play with joy, and with them were the two dogs, Xiongba and Dazhuang.
After lunch, the children couldn't wait to go pick chestnuts. The Lin family's chestnut forest was the same forest that Lin Heng and Xiulan had grafted before.
I haven't taken care of it much since it was grafted and it's now nearly ten meters tall and a big tree.
But they don't need to climb trees to pick chestnuts. When they are ripe, they fall down by themselves. They can just pick them up under the forest. Chinese chestnuts are much larger than wild hairy chestnuts, and they can be picked up more quickly.
This feeling of harvest is always addictive. Everyone bends down and keeps picking up things, and the sense of satisfaction in their hearts continues to accumulate.
"Dad, look at that little squirrel picking chestnuts too. It's so cute." Xiaoxia said, pointing to a little red squirrel on a stone step in the distance.
This guy has a very bright body color. He is holding a big chestnut in both hands, and his cheeks are bulging.
"Be quiet, I'll take you to dig out the squirrel's nest later. There must be a lot of super big chestnuts in it." Lin Heng whispered to his daughter.
Xiaoxia nodded quickly, and stopped talking, just following Lin Heng and watching. Lin Heng observed for a while, and roughly made a judgment, and turned around and said, "Let's go and find it."
"Okay." Xiaoxia happily pulled Lin Heng over and turned around to call her brother, "Brother, come quickly, let's go dig out the squirrel's nest."
"Coming, coming!" Lu Ming Du Heng heard this and ran towards this side quickly.
"Where is it? Where is it?" The two people who ran over asked curiously.
"It's right here." Lin Heng said with a smile as he uncovered the last stone, and a small cave filled with big chestnuts appeared in front of the three people.
"Wow, this chestnut is so big!"
"Fall, fly!"
"The squirrel's treasure is wonderful."
The children looked at the big brown chestnuts in the cave and talked excitedly.
Normal chestnuts are about the size of a mineral water bottle cap, but the ones collected by the squirrels are as big as a Pocari Sweat bottle cap. Each one is plump and shiny, and people can’t help but love them.
The children excitedly picked up all the chestnuts, which weighed more than ten kilograms. But then Lin Heng found another tree hole where chestnuts were hidden, and smiled and asked the children to pick them up.
"Dad, how did you find it? That's amazing!" Du Heng looked at Lin Heng with admiration in his eyes.
"Of course I observed more. When I was a child, I often watched squirrels strolling in the woods. Over time, I found where they hid things." Lin Heng touched his son's head and smiled.
"Dad, then please teach me. I want to learn too." Lu Ming said with blinking eyes.
"I want to learn too." Xiaoxia and Du Heng said in unison.
"Okay, but this requires some patience." Lin Heng nodded.
Xiaoxia thought about it and asked curiously, "Dad, will the squirrels have nothing to eat if we do this?"
Lin Heng shook his head: "Of course not, they can't even remember how much food they have hidden. Besides, autumn is still long, they still have a long time to store food."
Next, he wanted to take the children to find the squirrel's nest, but the squirrels were not cooperative and ran away.
However, Lin Heng has another solution, which is to artificially make some nice small caves, wait for the squirrels to find them themselves, then hide the food in them, and collect it after a while.
The success rate of this operation is quite good and it is also very interesting. Lin Heng led the children to build eight such small caves, and then continued to pick chestnuts after they were done.
In one afternoon, their family picked more than 300 kilograms of chestnuts, leaving only more than 30 kilograms for themselves, and Lin's father took the rest to the village cooperative to sell.
The next day they went for a stroll in the mountains again, digging yams, medicinal herbs, and picking wild fruits for a day. Later they went fishing and did not go into the mountains again.
After the holiday they returned to the city, and it was November again. This time it was just Lin Heng and Xiulan.
The scenery of Hongfeng Village is at its best in November. Now the mountains on both sides of the river are covered with beautiful red and yellow leaves, and the charming scenery is intoxicating.
When you walk into the village, in addition to the original villagers, there are also many tourists from other places. People come and go and smoke rises from the chimneys.
Lin Heng's car drove into the village. Many villagers on the road greeted him with a smile. He just smiled and went straight to Hongfeng Mountain.
Although the small mud house in the village is still there, it is just a thought. I can’t live in it more than twice a year. Most of the time I live in the big villa in Hongfeng Mountain.
All the bonsai that Lin Heng made himself were also moved here. There is a whole mountain here so the environment is naturally better than over there.
They drove up the mountain and saw Lin's mother sitting under the eaves of the villa picking vegetables. Usually when Lin Heng was not at home, his parents were responsible for cleaning the villa.
"Lunch is ready. We're waiting for you to come back and eat it." Seeing the two get off the car, Lin's mother said with a smile.
There is a landline in the villa, and Lin Heng had called them before he came back.
"That's great. I've been hungry for a long time." Xiulan walked over.
They first went into the house and looked around for a while, then brought the food out to eat outside. It was sunny now, so it was more comfortable to eat outside while enjoying the scenery.
After dinner, Lin Heng and Xiulan went to the reservoir on the mountain to play. They could drive directly to the edge of the reservoir, where there was a small wooden house with all kinds of tools.
They set up the table, boiled tea, and put an iron plate on the ceramic stove to roast beef. Then the two of them cast their rods and started fishing.
There are maple trees, poplars and cotinus trees all around. The leaves at this time of year are breathtakingly beautiful. The maple leaves are deep red, the poplars are golden, and the cotinus trees are a beautiful orange-red. Dotted with leaves of other colors and the golden pink wild chrysanthemums on the shore, just sitting on the shore will make you calm down instantly.
The water in the Gaoshan Reservoir is light green with some fallen leaves floating on it. The leaves sway gently in the breeze, like a small boat sailing on a calm sea.
Drinking a sip of tea, admiring the beautiful scenery and fishing, the two of them felt more and more peaceful.
"A fish is caught!" After a while, Xiulan pulled the fishing rod, and a beautiful carp was pulled out of the water.
"What a big stallion's mouth! This is really nice." Lin Heng said with a smile after taking a look.
As he was speaking, the fishing float on his side also moved. He stretched out his hand and pulled it, and it turned out to be a large golden crucian carp. Lin Heng grabbed the fish and threw it into the fish basket.
As for the big yellowtail fish, Lin Heng killed it mercilessly and grilled it on the iron plate. It took less than two minutes from the time it was hooked to the time it was put into the pan.
They fished, drank tea and enjoyed the beautiful scenery until the sun went down, truly feeling the beauty of life.
In the evening, he carried the fish back to the villa. He took the crucian carp to the kitchen for Xiulan to cook, and Lin Heng took the rest of the whitebait to the fish room upstairs.
There are large glass fish tanks everywhere, with all kinds of fish in them. Some of them were caught by Lin Heng himself, and some were bought from other places.
In order to ensure that there would be no problems here, he also installed a spare battery, and the villa also has a spare diesel generator.
Lin Heng could stay in this fish room for a whole day, feeding and watching the fish was full of endless fun. (End of this chapter)
