Era: Started from raising livestock in the mountains

There are three cherry trees in the back hill, one of which is a native variety here. It was planted the earliest and was planted just after the house was built.

There are also two purchased varieties of cherries, which are larger and sweeter than local cherries. They were bought together with the apple saplings.

There was a pipa tree among the trees that were originally planted in the back hill. Now the trunks of these trees are as thick as a human forearm, with a height of about three meters. Lin Heng carries out dwarf pruning every year.

When they arrived at the back mountain, the children didn't even look at the native cherry tree before. They ran directly under the variety cherry tree and tried to reach it.

"I'll pick them for you!" Xiulan said, reaching out to look for suitable cherries. The breeze gently blew the hem of her skirt, making the pair of white and tender long legs under her waist even more dazzling.

"I'll do it."

Lin Heng came over and said.

Although the tree is relatively short, the red and big ones are all high up. He can only pick the big ones by climbing up the tree.

"It's so sweet." Lin Heng said after eating one first. The cherry was already bright red, and it was extremely sweet after one bite.

"Dad, let me try it!"

"Daddy, daddy, let me try it too!"

"I want to send some picks!"

The three children looked at Lin Heng eating on the tree and drooled anxiously. The younger son even hugged the trunk to climb up by himself.

"Everything is available." Lin Heng quickly picked two handfuls and put them in the bag and asked Xiulan to share them with them.

"It's really sweet. It's a variety of cherries. It's much sweeter than what Wang Caifeng next door gave me two days ago."

Xiulan was surprised after taking a bite. She didn't expect that the cherry had no sour taste.

The children even let their actions speak for themselves. They kept eating, bit by bit, and it was obviously sweet to their hearts.

Lin Heng picked some and said, "This is too slow. Let's spread the film paper and hit it with a stick."

"Okay, let's hold it open." Xiulan nodded, called the three children, and each of the four grabbed a corner.

Lin Heng whipped it twice with a stick, and the red cherries fell smoothly. The children cheered and the chickens that were wandering in the back hill also heard the sound and ran over to pick up the cherries that fell on the ground.

"This weighs more than ten pounds, do you still need to fight?" Lin Heng looked at Xiulan and asked.

"Beat them all, otherwise they will be broken. After you are done beating them, send some to your elder brother and parents." Xiulan thought for a while and said.

"Okay." Lin Heng nodded in agreement.

A group of them helped and quickly knocked down most of the cherries, weighing more than thirty kilograms.

The reason why there are so few is because Lin Wei and the others came to pick them once in advance, and Lin Heng thinned the fruits in advance, otherwise the cherry particles would not be as big as they are now.

After picking the cherries, Lin Heng picked the loquats again. Most of them were clean and weighed about twenty or thirty kilograms.

After returning home, Lin Heng divided some of it and gave it to her elder brother and parents. When she finished delivering it and returned home, the children were already playing house in the yard. Apparently they had eaten enough cherries and loquats.

In the room, Xiulan was sitting on the sofa wearing sandals and resting. She made a cup of saffron tea and ate a cherry from time to time, which was very comfortable.

"Have they all been sent out?" Xiulan asked.

"Of course." Lin Heng nodded, came over and sat next to Xiulan and took a handful of cherries to eat.

"There's a lot left. Let's pick some local loquats and make loquat paste in the afternoon. There are still some Luo Han Guo and Sichuan Scallops you bought last year." Xiulan looked at him and said.

"No problem. If you can't finish the cherries, you can also add honey to make cherry jam." Lin Heng nodded.

After saying that, he lay down on Xiulan's big white legs, looked up at her and smiled: "It's so comfortable to lie on these legs."

"You are so beautiful." Xiulan poked him, but did not let him get up. Instead, she looked at his ears.

Lin Heng was talking to her, and with a playful smile, he lifted the hem of her skirt and looked inside. As soon as he uncovered it, Xiulan slapped him: "You gangster!"

"I'm curious." Lin Heng was very thick-skinned. Although he had seen everything, being half-covered like this gave people a more unique feeling.

Apart from anything else, these beautiful legs, which are white and rosy, give people a completely different feeling under the strong light during the day than at night.

"You're a big-headed idiot out of curiosity, get out of here if you stop being restless." Xiulan poked his head and warned angrily.

Lin Heng laughed and played with her for a while. Xiulan punished her severely with her feet, and then he lay down on the imperial concubine's couch on the sofa.

Lin Heng did not continue to tease her, and went to get a book to read, enjoying the good time. He enjoys this information-blocked era. There is no bombardment of information to make people anxious, and everything is simple.

Two hours later, Xiulan woke up from a nap and crawled up to him again. She gave him a peeled loquat and asked, "Husband, what should we have for lunch?"

Lin Heng spit out the loquat seeds, closed the book and thought for a while, "Rice?"

"Let's make noodles and eat fish." Xiulan hugged his shoulders and said with her face close to him.

"Okay, I'll help you. It's been a long time since I've had noodles and fish." Lin Heng nodded in agreement.

"Then wait until 12:30 before going."

Xiulan looked at her watch, then lay down on Lin Heng, then looked into the yard and asked, "Are the children still playing in the yard?"

"Yeah, a few more friends came and asked them to go out, but I didn't agree. It seemed like they were playing hopscotch at the moment." Lin Heng nodded.

Now that the children are a little older, they have a very busy day. They play house, jump rope, hopscotch, play sandbags, chase the big rooster, walk the dog, etc. They can't stop playing.

"It's time for Xiaoxia to go to school in the second half of the year. Should she go to school in the village or in the town?" Xiulan asked as she lay on her back and looked at Lin Heng.

Lin Heng thought for a while and said: "Let's stay in the village for now. There is nothing to learn in elementary school. I can teach her myself. When she is older, we will arrange for her to go to the city. Then we will go to the city too."

No matter how beautiful the countryside is, it is still too far behind the city in terms of education and medical care. Even if you don't want to, you have to be sent to the city.

But it doesn’t matter. Once you have money, it’s the same in the city. You can still have a country-like living experience. As long as he firmly grasps the dividends of the times, it will not be a problem to develop the entire Taibai City into his base camp.

Just wait until he becomes the richest man here, then go to Anseong to develop, and finally set up some investment companies to invest in high-quality companies in the country in the future. When his children grow up and the social environment becomes better, he can take his family to travel around the world. .

"This is the only way." Xiulan nodded and said. Having lived in the city for a while, she also understood the difference between the city and the countryside.

After a while, the two of them went to cook together. Lin Heng called the children into the house, including the children in the village, and gave a lot of cherries to them. They all grinned happily and kept saying thank you.

There are also naughty children in the village, but most of them are children who have learned early and helped the family with work. Lin Heng gives snacks and other things to each other regardless of each other. They are all given the same way. I hope they will recall their childhood and have more. warmth.

As a farmer's child, he understands the helplessness of farmers' children better.

They made cornmeal and fish for lunch, and used persimmon vinegar to make a simple vinegar sauce that would be very fragrant. After it was done, Lin Heng called the children to eat, and all the children who were playing with Xiaoxia and the others ran away. Only Yang Qing was bolder and had a bowl of rice at Lin Heng's house.

Although it was cornmeal fish, the food was not bad, and the little girl's face glowed brightly after eating it.

"Let's go and pick some more loquats from the old tree."

Xiulan changed into trousers and came out and said.

"Let's go." Lin Heng nodded.

"Dad, let's go feed the hens first." Xiaoxia pulled him and said.

"Okay, let's go there." Lin Heng said with a smile. Xiaoxia has been going to Hongfeng Mountain to feed the chickens every day these days.

They took the children to Hongfeng Mountain first. When Xiaoxia was feeding the chickens, Lu Ming and Du Heng stopped picking at the chickens. They had behaved themselves after being pecked last time.

Father Lin looked at Lin Heng and said, "Son, our family will plant rice seedlings tomorrow. Come over early in the morning."

"No problem, I will definitely be the first to come." Lin Heng agreed with a smile.

Mother Lin looked at Xiulan and said, "You will pick the loquats and come here to get the fairy tofu. I just made it."

Xiulan held Mother Lin's hand and smiled and said, "Mom, you and Dad come over for dinner tonight, and bring it to us. After dinner, we will catch cicada monkeys and scorpions to plant rice seedlings tomorrow."

"That's okay, I was just going to catch it." Mother Lin said with a smile.

When Xiulan said this, she immediately became interested. She knew that monkeys and scorpions are both good things. At least their relatives accepted this thing, and it tasted very delicious.

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

"Okay, let's go pick loquats first." Xiulan nodded and said.

Then they took their children to pick fruits from an old loquat tree in their home. Some of the loquat trees had been picked by the villagers, and the rest were very tall.

Lin Heng simply cut down some branches, which were equivalent to slender branches. Finally, he picked twenty kilograms of loquats. After taking them home, he started to make loquat paste.

I won’t make cherry jam because I gave some to the children in the village at noon, and my uncle, aunt, and others will eat some tomorrow when they come over to help plant rice seedlings, so there probably won’t be much left.

I kept the loquat paste until night, and then put it into the original glass jar for storage. This stuff has a very high sugar content and will basically not go bad. If you are worried, you can add some honey.

At dusk, Mother Lin and Father Lin came over with fairy tofu, flashlights and ultraviolet lamps.

"Is your loquat paste ready?" Mother Lin asked with a smile.

"Yes, I've boiled four kilograms of loquat paste. Mom, take a can back and drink it. It can cure coughs." Xiulan pointed to the four bottles of loquat paste placed on the table and said.

"Okay, it just so happens that your dad coughs a lot." Mother Lin nodded and said.

After everyone exchanged a few words, Xiulan went to make dinner. She ordered a noodle, salad with fairy tofu, and stir-fried a plate of green vegetables.

Lin Heng supported Xiulan in cooking and took out the mutton, pork and stewed vegetables to defrost and wait for the rice transplanting tomorrow. After discussion, it was better to eat here tomorrow. It was not convenient to get the vegetables from the other side of Hongfeng Mountain.

After dinner, Lin's father took care of the children at home. Lin Heng, Xiulan and their mother went to the back mountain with flashlights. Cicada monkeys are not difficult to find. You can find some by walking a few steps in the forest.

Scorpions are more difficult to find. The best places are in the stone ridges built in crop fields. There are many scorpions in those places.

"Husband, how many cicada monkeys have you caught?" Xiulan came over and asked after a while.

"Thirty-two, what about you?" Lin Heng showed his bottle.

"Then I'm better than you. I caught 45." Xiulan showed off.

Then he said: "Husband, let's go catch scorpions, the cicadas are enough."

Catching scorpions requires running around, and she is a little scared by herself.

"Okay." Lin Heng nodded, called his mother to join him, and the three of them went to catch scorpions.

Because of the previous capture by Lin's mother and sister-in-law, the number of scorpions has decreased a lot, and it is not as easy to catch them as before.

They wore water shoes and held ultraviolet lights to search everywhere. Every time they caught one, they would be happy. Before they knew it, they had found it at 11:30 in the evening.

"It's so late, let's go back." Lin Heng looked at his watch and shouted.

"Let's go, so much is definitely enough to eat." Xiulan nodded.

"Then let's go back, we still have to plant rice tomorrow." Lin's mother also nodded.

Immediately, the three of them went home together. Lin's father was still playing games with the children at home. When he saw them coming back, he hurriedly asked: "How did you get it?"

"You can see for yourself."

Lin Heng went to get two plastic basins, and the three of them poured the cicada monkeys and scorpions into two basins respectively.

"Hey, you have a good harvest, enough to eat two or three meals." Lin's father was shocked to see so many things in the basin.

"Not bad luck today." Xiulan smiled.

Everyone looked at it again, then poured the cicada monkeys into a bag, drowned them in water, and then put them in the freezer.

The scorpions were placed in a basin to keep them alive first, and then they would be cleaned and fried when they were eaten tomorrow morning. One night would also allow them to clear all the dirt.

"Okay, we'll go back first." After finishing, Lin's father said, and left with Lin's mother.

Lin's father had already washed the children's hands, feet and faces, and they were already sleepy. Lin Heng told them half a story and coaxed them to sleep.

After the children fell asleep, the two of them went to wash up. They had been sweating all day today, so they naturally had to wash well.

"Wife, you wear a small skirt during the day, and add a pair of cotton stockings."

After taking a bath, Lin Heng leaned close to Xiulan's ear and whispered.

Xiulan blushed and whispered: "We still have to work tomorrow, why don't you rest."

"That's tomorrow's matter." Lin Heng grinned.

Xiulan rolled her eyes at him and said nothing, but when Lin Heng came back from the toilet, he found that she was already wearing a small skirt and white stockings and leaning on the bed, with her hair tied up in a bun with a hairpin.

"Wife, you look so beautiful in this outfit..."

Lin Heng walked over quickly and came to her side.

...

"Oh, I seem to have gotten up late."

The next morning, Lin Heng woke up and sat up after looking at his watch.

Xiulan looked at the watch and spread her hands and said, "I guess my uncle and aunt have already gone to the fields. This is good, right?"

"It doesn't matter. I used to get up late often." Lin Heng waved his hand nonchalantly, and looked at Xiulan and smiled evilly, "It's all your fault, my wife. Your beauty made me lose my temper."

He really worked hard last night and used up all his strength.

Xiulan rolled her eyes at him coquettishly, clenched her fist and warned, "If you say anything else, I'll beat you up. You'd better get up quickly, lazy bug." (End of this chapter)
