Era: Started from raising livestock in the mountains

Accompanied by the sound of crackling firecrackers, everyone walked into the yard together, everyone holding something in their hands, implying that they would have no worries about food and drink and would live a happy life in the future.

"Oh, this yard is so beautiful." As soon as she entered the door, Lin's mother was surprised. She never thought that the yard could be so beautiful.

"This house is beautiful. People living in it will surely be healthy and free from troubles." Father Lin's face showed a hint of surprise, but his words were full of auspiciousness.

Lin Heng placed the big red and white koi in his hand together with the plastic bag into the fish pond and released it after it had been rinsed with water.

"Come on, let's go in." Xiulan walked over, opened the door, and invited everyone in with a smile.

"This house is good, with good wind, good water, and good people." Father Lin nodded and walked into the house first.

Soon everyone else came into the house and said various auspicious words according to custom. Even the children had to say a few words before entering the house. According to custom, this was to ask for good luck.

When we walked into the house, both adults and children were shocked by the snow-white walls, wooden floors, various decorations and exquisite furniture, which were not found in rural houses.

"Everyone, sit down. This house is actually no different from our mud house." Lin Heng said with a smile, motioning everyone to sit on the sofa, took out a bunch of food, and boiled some water.

Those who came today were all family members, so they didn't do anything polite. They sat on the soft wooden sofa for a while and then looked around.

Lin Heng and Xiulan followed to introduce the situation in the house to their parents and eldest brother.

"Mom and Dad, you can all come down and live here. This house is very big. Each floor has four bedrooms, two living rooms, a kitchen and a bathroom. It's very big." Lin Heng said with a smile, putting his arm around his father's shoulders.

Father Lin patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "I'd better wait for you to build me a small western-style house, son. I like the land on the mountain."

"I'll buy you some land nearby later." Lin Heng said again.

"Don't worry about it. It's good for us to live in the village. It's convenient for you to go back, and we have a place to come down and play if we want to." Lin's mother looked at him and said.

"Okay then." Lin Heng didn't say anything more about this. He knew that even though the land in the mountains was barren, his parents liked that place.

After looking around the house, Lin Heng and his eldest brother went out to help paste the couplets, while Xiulan, Lin's mother and Liu Juan went to the kitchen.

Nowadays, most people in the city use honeycomb coal to cook, but Lin Heng's family uses a gas stove. There is no natural gas pipeline, but there is still a gas tank.

Gas can be used at any time and the fire will be high at any time, while honeycomb coal often has no fire when it is used, and the fire will be too high when it is not needed.

Lin's mother Liu Juan looked at the gas tank curiously for a long time and thought it was very convenient and better than firewood.

After pasting the housewarming couplets and blessing characters, Lin Heng released the koi from the bag. He didn't raise many this time, just eight large koi that were 30 cm long, all in red and white.

Even though there is no capital to speculate on koi now, he still spent ten dollars to buy one of this good quality.

After putting the koi in, Lin Heng poured a large amount of salt in. Seeing what Lin Heng was doing, Lin's father asked curiously, "What are you doing, son?"

"Yes, this is a freshwater fish. It won't be killed." Lin Yue didn't understand it either.

Lin Heng smiled and shook his head: "No, I calculated the ratio. If you pour all of this in, the salt ratio is only 0.5% of the salt water concentration. Not only will it not kill you, it can also kill bacteria and prevent diseases."

"Oh, I see. This is the first time I know this." Father Lin nodded.

"You can treat fish by soaking them in light salt water, but we usually have disinfectants, so I didn't use this," Lin Heng added.

After adding the salt, he looked at the koi swimming in the fish pond and was very satisfied. This kind of Chinese garden pond is naturally not a regular shape, with a water capacity of about 20 to 30 cubic meters, and water pipes, water pumps and a filtration system are laid inside.

He designed this system himself. He felt that the designer's proposal was not good enough. When he gets a good brushless motor for the water pump later, the filtering effect will be better.

"Brother Lin Heng, congratulations on moving into your new home."

"Yes, I wish you good health and prosperity."

Just as Lin Heng was about to enter the house, Lin Hai and Tian Yan came in with gifts and congratulated him with a smile.

"Let's go into the house quickly." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"good."

The two nodded and stood up to agree, then greeted the others. Tian Yan's belly was now obviously bigger, and Lin Hai had to support her when she walked.

After entering the house, Lin Heng poured tea and cut some fruit. Everyone chatted for a while and then the meal was ready.

The table in the restaurant had just been set and Lin Heng was about to serve the dishes when he heard shouting from outside. He went out and saw that it was Wang Zhou who came.

"Brother Lin, congratulations on moving into a new house. I didn't know what to buy so I just picked up some random things. I spent a long time looking for this orchid. It's a wild cymbidium orchid I dug up in the mountains."

Seeing Lin Heng open the door, Wang Zhou shouted with a smile. He held cigarettes and alcohol in his left hand and a pot of orchids of very good quality in his right hand.

"You kid, why do you bring so many gifts when you just come? Why don't you bring your wife and children as well?" Lin Heng patted his shoulder and said with a smile.

He regarded Wang Zhou as a good friend, and he felt at ease with him around, so Qiao Qian also informed him and asked him to bring his wife and children for a simple meal.

Wang Zhou grinned and said, "I told you that Cihua wouldn't come. She said she was afraid that the child would mess around. She helped me pick these gifts. She said that we can have what we have now thanks to your care, Brother Lin, and asked me to thank you very much."

"Okay, then, go in quickly. The food is on the table." Lin Heng patted his shoulder and said with a smile. Liu Cihua really impressed him. Although he had never been to school, his emotional intelligence was much higher than that of ordinary people, and he knew how to repay kindness.

Lin Heng was very happy that introducing such a wife to Wang Zhou changed his originally miserable fate.

After entering the house, Xiulan was very happy to see the orchids that Wang Zhou brought. She liked this thing very much and had planted a lot of them in the backyard of her hometown. When she learned that Liu Cihua had asked him to buy them specially, Xiulan immediately looked at Liu Cihua with a new respect.

"Come on, let's have a drink first."

When all the dishes were served and everyone was ready, Lin Heng picked up the wine glass and said with a smile that they would drink the rice wine brought down from their hometown today.

With laughter and blessings, everyone happily ate. As the first meal after moving, there was naturally fish and meat, as well as some game bought by Lin Heng.

It was already past one o'clock when they finished their meal. They sat on the sofa, played cards for a while, and walked around the yard.

Wang Zhou left first, followed by Tian Yan and Lin Hai. They are still renting a house and plan to wait for the smell in the house to dissipate before moving in next month.

Lin Heng and his friends didn't stay here for long. They took their parents out to play and returned to the village together in the afternoon. Xiulan didn't plan to move down here for the time being and would decide after the children's summer vacation.

The next day was Lin's father's birthday, and several close relatives came to wish him a happy birthday. They were so envious when they saw the tractor that Lin Heng bought for his father.

Everyone in the village knew that Lin Heng sold two thousand pigs last year. No one knew how rich Lin Heng was, but they had a rough estimate when they saw that he bought a tractor for his father.

At the dinner table, Li Baiquan took a sip of wine and looked at Lin Heng and said, "My dear nephew, what do you think is the best way to preserve the value of the money now?"

As soon as he said this, Zhang Gaolian quickly poked Lu Honghai quietly, indicating that he should ask as well. Lin Heng said on the spot that prices might rise sharply in the second half of the year. Zhang Gaolian still didn't believe it and asked her husband to take out all the money and exchange it for something that would maintain its value. After all, although prices have been rising in recent years, the increase was very limited.

However, after June, with the arrival of the market economy, the price increases of many things exceeded expectations, and they began to regret it.

"Yes, Lin Heng, is it too late to buy it now?" Lu Honghai also asked.

"Of course there's still time." Lin Heng nodded, took a sip of wine and continued, "It's easiest to buy it as gold and save it. It's more troublesome if you want to earn more."

"Lin Heng, please tell me in detail." Zhang Gaolian said with a smile on her face.

Lin Heng did not hide anything from them and expressed some of his own judgments, mentioning several things whose prices would increase in the future.

After thinking about it, Lu Honghai decided to buy it as gold. Anyway, he could just save the money and not use it for the time being, so it would be a hassle.

Li Baiquan decided to support his youngest son Li Shiwei to buy a piece of land in the town, and then exchange the remaining money for gold.

By the time the banquet was over, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. The sky was still a light orange-red. Although the sun had completely set, the color of the sky had not faded yet.

He was still at home the next day. In the morning he went to the pig farm to collect pig manure. In the afternoon he took the children to the river to catch fish and snails.

After playing at home for a few days, he returned to work. The feed factory has become stable, and Lin Heng will not expand its scale blindly for the time being.

The production department is very stable. What needs to be expanded now is sales and talent training. According to the company framework he set, he basically recruited one or two people for each department.

In total, his small factory now has 42 employees, not counting the sales commissions, including 27 in the production department and 15 in other departments, most of whom are under 25 years old.

In fact, some departments are not in great need for the time being, but he also recruited young people for training. Young people are full of enthusiasm, especially when they are given enough pay and hope, they can really treat the factory as their home.

Of course, those who were lazy and slacking off were driven away. It’s not that there weren’t any, they were just screened out.

After the feed factory was basically stable, Lin Heng no longer came every day. Twice a week was enough to deal with some major decisions.

He believes that a good management system and reward rules can fully unleash the creativity of young people. What he needs to do is to achieve ideological unity, establish common goals, and tell grand and far-reaching stories.

Time flies, and it is already August. Prices have risen again. With the advent of market economy, people have become more active. Many bold people have begun to try to do business, and there are more people who want to get rich and are watching.

Lin Heng has not been idle in the past two months. Since Xiaoxia went on summer vacation, Lin Heng took Xiulan, their three children and their son Xiongba with him. This way, he doesn't have to run back every day and only needs to go back once or twice a week.

With more time, he purchased a large number of second-hand electrical and mechanical manufacturing equipment, renovated the large factory he rented, moved all the equipment in, and hired four skilled technical workers to work according to his instructions.

During this period, he went back to help sell the grapes at home. The price of grapes this year is much better than last year.

And there was no need to sell the grapes to the state-owned company. Private traders were rushing to buy them. Eight acres of grapes were sold for 6,100 yuan, 400 yuan more than last year.

At noon on August 6, Lin Heng returned home with two documents. It was hot and there was no one in the yard. When Lin Heng came back, Xiongba ran out to greet him. He opened the door with the key and walked in. Only then did Xiulan and the child walk out of the door.

"Dad, when are we going home? It's not fun here." Xiaoxia came over and hugged Lin Heng and said.

"We also want to go back to our hometown to play." Lu Ming and Du Heng also said.

Lin Heng had no choice but to comfort them and said, "I'll take you back to my hometown in a couple of days. I just happen to be free these two days."

"good!"

Hearing Lin Heng's words, the children jumped up happily. Lin Heng always kept his word, so they all believed that they could return home in two days.

"You're back just as the meal is ready. Come in and eat." Xiulan looked at him and said with a smile.

Lin Heng handed the document in his hand to Xiulan and said, "I'll show you something good."

Xiulan opened it and looked up, then asked in surprise, "Is this the company you asked me to start with you?"

Lin Heng put his hands on her shoulders and nodded with a smile: "Yes, there is a Hengxiu Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Co., Ltd. and a Hengxiu Electromechanical Equipment Co., Ltd., both of which are under our names."

Now that private companies could be opened, he registered one as soon as possible. In both companies, he held 80 to 70 percent of the shares, while Xiulan held 30 percent, and he was the legal representative of both companies.

In fact, he originally wanted to imitate the equity structure of those big companies in the future, but it is not so convenient at the moment, so he just left it like this and change it slowly later.

"So fast? I'll go cook a few more dishes and we'll celebrate." Xiulan said with a smile. She knew that this was the result of Lin Heng's hard work over several years.

"No need, the food we have now is enough. What's most important is you, your children and your parents. Nothing else matters." Lin Heng said, pulling him.

He said he would go back in two days to discuss this matter, and also go home to stay for a while. He has been pretty busy recently, and all that’s left is to talk about business.

Xiulan smiled and said, "Well, let's go inside and have a drink."

"We also want to celebrate Dad. Let me see." Xiaoxia looked at the document in Lin Heng's hand curiously.

Lin Heng showed it to her, then put it in the drawer of the study and locked it. This was a very important thing, and the official seal and other things were all in it.

On the small rectangular dining table in the restaurant, the four dishes and one soup prepared by Xiulan were already ready. She had taken out a cold beer from the freezer and opened it.

"Oh, there's one more thing I forgot to tell you." Xiulan said with a smile when she saw Lin Heng sitting down. (End of this chapter)
