Return to the small mountain village in 1983

Chapter 117 Shy boy, three thousand yuan agreement

In the evening, Wang Jie, the owner of Tuanjie Brick Factory, brought the plan written by Lin Heng to the home of his grandfather, a retired cadre in the town.

"Grandpa, you are in good health recently." Wang Jie came to the door with a bottle of wine and a roast chicken.

"Of course it's okay. I can drink wine and bite chickens." The old man glanced at the gift Wang Jie brought and said with a smile: "What do you want from me this time? Tell me."

"That's what you always said, I just came to see you." Wang Jie chuckled.

The old man glanced at him: "If you don't tell me, I will enter the house."

"No, grandpa, something really happened. I've been busy these days and haven't come to see if you are mine. I will take some time to spend some time with you another day." Wang Jie quickly apologized and said with a smile.

"I don't have any hope anymore. Just have a drink with me here today." The old man shook his head, looked at Wang Jie and said, "But you'd better talk about the matter first. I'm afraid I won't be able to provide any advice when I'm drunk."

Wang Jie quickly took out the plan that he had read many times and gave it to his grandfather: "Grandpa, do you think this plan is worth it?"

The old man went into the house and took a pair of glasses. After putting them on, he looked carefully at the sunset for more than ten minutes.

Wang Jie watched his grandpa finish reading and quickly asked: "How is it, grandpa?"

"Who gave this to you?" The old man looked at him.

Wang Jie was stunned: "What's wrong?"

"Did you pay attention to the brick-making technology mentioned in the planning document?" The old man looked at him and said.

"Yes, that's what I need." Wang Jie nodded, "I offered five hundred, but that person said something profound that I didn't understand."

"You really don't understand." The old man shook his head and continued: "Technology is important, but what is more important is the person's views on the future trend in the planning book. Although it is just a painting, this person He has clearly seen the future development trend, this person is not simple."

Wang Jie was even more surprised when he heard this: "But this man is an out-and-out farmer."

Is this planning document really as awesome as grandpa said? He was a little skeptical. After all, my grandfather was only a minor official before and probably had never seen much of the world.

If a high-ranking official had really retired, his brick factory wouldn't be running so hard.

"What's wrong with the farmers? Can't they get advice from an expert?" The old man glanced at him. "I don't think this is a scam. If you have such a person to lead the way, your career path will be much smoother. But how to decide specifically? It’s your own business.”

Wang Jie looked at the plan and thought about it in his mind, and suddenly made a decision.

……

It was also dusk at sunset. At Lin Heng's house, his parents, eldest brother, sister-in-law, sister and nephew were all here, and no one was drooling when they looked at the golden crispy pig on the table.

"This is so fragrant and beautiful. I could never dream of something like this. Second daddy, you are so handsome." Lin Wei wiped his saliva and said.

Lin Wei's words expressed the common sentiment of everyone. In this era, no one can dream of eating golden crispy roast suckling pig.

For rural people, having rice, white noodles and meat every meal is just a dream, and golden crispy pig is even more unthinkable.

"So handsome!" The other two nephews also cheered.

"Don't tell me, this is delicious enough." Father Lin couldn't help but swallowed.

"It's all done today. You can try the roasted suckling pig." Mother Lin said with a smile.

"No, it's really a blessing." Sister-in-law Liu Juan also had a smile on her face. I was glad that I didn't offend Lin Heng too much in the first place.

Look at Lin Heng's aunt and father, how miserable they are. Until now, Lin Heng has not even given away a pound of meat. My parents have given many gifts as gifts.

"Haha, everyone can eat after a while." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"I'm here to help." Lin Yue came over and took a breath of the aroma.

Use a knife to cut open the roasted suckling pig. When you cut it with a knife, the pig skin makes a crisp snapping sound. You can tell how crispy it is even before you eat it.

Cut the crispy pork into small strips one by one, and then place them in the bamboo sieve as they are.

The aroma becomes more intense after cutting it open. Not only did people gulp down after smelling the fragrance, Xiong Ba also turned around to please Lin Heng and wanted to share a bone with him.

"Let's eat, I've prepared the cold dishes." Xiulan brought out the cold dishes. The three cold dishes and one pickled bamboo shoots are today's side dishes. The main course is these dozen kilograms of golden crispy honey roasted suckling pig.

"Come on, everyone, sit down, let's start eating." Lin Heng looked at everyone and said with a smile.

Sitting down was very fast today, and everyone was seated in less than half a minute.

"Here, let's eat!" Lin Heng first brought two skin-on pork ribs to his parents.

"I want pork ribs!"

"I want pig ears!" Several nephews started to fight for it, but their father stopped them.

"It's okay, everyone can eat whatever they want. There's so much. It'll be more delicious if you dip it in this dipping sauce." Lin Heng said with a smile and gave everyone a pork rib.

One pig and 28 pork ribs are enough for a family of only eleven people.

Lin Heng took a bite with the dipping sauce. The pork skin was crispy and fragrant, with a hint of honey sweetness, and the pig ribs were crispy and easy to chew. The more he ate, the more delicious it became.

I just felt sorry for Xiongba. After waiting for a long time, no one spit out the bones and chewed them loudly. He was so angry that he lay on the ground and looked at Lin Heng resentfully.

"Well, this roasted suckling pig is so delicious. I got Lin Heng's credit this time." Mother Lin said with a smile.

Father Lin praised while eating: "Dip this chili powder, it's so delicious. My son, your craftsmanship is great."

"The pork skin is crispy and the pork is fragrant. This is the most delicious thing I have ever eaten in my life." Lin Yue even gave a very high evaluation.

"It's also the most delicious thing I've ever eaten in my life, Second Dad, how about we eat it next time." Lin Wei said with bulging cheeks.

While feeding his daughter some lean meat, Lin Heng nodded and said with a smile: "I'll treat you to roasted whole lamb next time. It's more delicious than this."

Lin Heng was happy when he saw his family eating roasted suckling pig. He was incapable in his previous life, but he must let his family live a good life in this life.

"Okay!!" The three nephews cheered in unison.

"Come on, let's drink!" Father Lin took the initiative to pick up the wine. What he drank tonight was rice wine.

"Come on!" Lin Heng and Xiulan also raised their hands, taking a sip of wine and a bite of meat. It was so satisfying.

In particular, rice wine has a dense and sweet taste, not as strong as white wine, and it tastes better when eaten with meat.

Today's children are also happy. Not only do they have meat, but they also have honey and water to drink.

After eating the ribs, everyone started to deal with other parts.

Lin Heng brought the pig's head in front of him and cut it. The pig's head was already completely roasted, and he tore off the skin and a lot of meat with just one tear.

"Come on, Lin Wei, give you the pig ears." He gave the pig ears to Lin Wei.

The remaining part was torn in half and given to Xiulan and Caiyun, and the pig's mouth was given to the elder brother and sister-in-law.

"Xiong Ba, this is yours." When the pork was almost eaten, Lin Heng handed the pig head to Xiong Ba.

"Ow~"

Xiongba, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed over and bit the pig's head. He took it out and gnawed it under the eaves, crushing the pig's head in a few bites.

At this kind of feast, people talk less because they are all busy eating.

But even when everyone is eating, you can still see the warmth of this home.

Father Lin and Mother Lin always took meat with a lot of bones. From time to time, Father Lin would get a piece of hot lean meat for Xiaoxia. Mother Lin also kept tearing off the meaty parts for Xiulan and her three grandchildren and handed them to them.

Lin Heng and his eldest brother forcibly brought more meat to their mother and father, and the family enjoyed themselves happily.

Rural families are like this, there are not many good things, and everyone is used to giving nutritious things to children and people who do manual labor.

Even if life gets better later, the older generation will still treat the younger generations like this, but this behavior is very annoying for those younger generations born later.

But it’s often when you grow up that you realize that you may never meet an outsider who can love you as much as your parents do.

"This soaked bamboo shoots is also delicious. It has a unique taste. Xiulan, did you make it?"

After eating a bamboo shoot, Mother Lin suddenly showed a surprised expression. It tasted different from the pickled bamboo shoots in sour jars. It was much more delicious and crisper.

"Actually, I've wanted to ask for a long time. This pickled bamboo shoots is so delicious." Liu Juan also said with a smile.

"Lin Heng taught me, I will teach you how to do it another day." Xiulan said with a smile.

Mother Lin was stunned and didn't believe it at all: "My son who is too lazy to cook will still make these things? Xiulan, are you trying to put money on his face again?"

Lin Heng was speechless: "Mom, you are too prejudiced against me. I won't let others cheat on me."

"Really, I'm not lying." Xiulan said with a smile.

Mother Lin glanced at him: "For the sake of today's roast suckling pig, I believe you."

Lin Heng: "..."

After nearly an hour of cooking, the roasted suckling pig was completely finished, and all the cold dishes such as soaked bamboo shoots were eaten.

"As much noodles as you can eat, I'll give them to you." Xiulan stood up and said.

"Stop it, no one can eat it." Mother Lin shook her head.

"Yes, no one eats it. They are all full of meat." Father Lin shook his head.

"I'll help clear the table." Sister-in-law Liu Juan said with a smile.

Lin's mother, Caiyun and others soon cleared the table and helped wash the dishes.

After everyone left, Xiulan looked at Lin Heng again and asked with concern: "Are you full? If not, I will feed you."

"I'm full, there's no need to do anything else." Lin Heng shook his head.

"Then you take your daughter for a walk to eat, and I'll feed some chickens and ducks. She eats a little too much meat, and I'm afraid it'll go bad." Xiulan nodded and said.

"Okay." Lin Heng took Xiaoxia and Xiongba to play games in the yard.

"Dad, I want to listen to fairy tales." After playing for a while, Xiaoxia became tired and didn't want to move, so she kept throwing herself into Lin Heng's arms.

"Okay, okay, I'll give you a fairy tale." Lin Heng carried her back to the house, took off her shoes, lit a candle, and sat by the bed to tell the story.

My daughter obviously doesn't understand, but she still wants him to read fairy tales. Maybe she just wants to listen to him talk.

"Dad, what is Little Red Riding Hood?"

"Dad, what is the big bad wolf?"

While talking, Xiaoxia asked, and Lin Heng still had to explain to her.

"Little Red Riding Hood is Xiaoxia with the red hat, and the Big Bad Wolf is the wolf that can eat people."

However, within half an hour, she fell asleep soundly, with a smile on her face and her mouth chirping from time to time.

Lin Heng looked at her. Fortunately, his daughter didn't have the habit of breathing through her mouth. Otherwise, her teeth would easily grow crooked, and he would have to find a way to glue her mouth shut.

"My daughter is almost growing. I'll see if there are any cows in the city in the next few days. Let's buy two."

Lin Heng looked at his sleeping daughter and said to himself.

In this era, all walks of life in China are heavily manufacturing products. Sanlu milk powder just started to be produced this year. He doesn't dare to let his daughter drink milk powder bought from outside.

There is no grassland and it is not suitable for large-scale milk raising, but there is no problem in raising a few cows for your own family to drink milk.

If he wants his children to be smart in the future, nutrition must keep up with their growth and development during childhood.

That night, Xiulan taught Lin Heng a lesson as promised, not letting him eat the soup dumplings.

He also got up early the next morning, not giving Lin Heng a chance.

"The fry grow so fast."

Walking to the backyard, Lin Heng admired the scenery and sighed with emotion when he looked at the two or three centimeters long grass carp in the fish pond.

There are still seven to eight thousand surviving, and thanks to regular feeding, they grow much faster than grass carp fry in natural waters.

The absence of predators allowed them to survive in far greater numbers than normal.

After scattering a few more handfuls of wheat bran, Lin Heng looked at the turtles still alive in the bucket and threw two of the creek groupers he caught yesterday into it.

Under the eaves, the silly little golden cat tied by a rope looked longingly at Xi Shiban struggling in his hand.

Lin Heng glanced at it and threw one over: "For Xiaoxia's sake, I'll feed you one."

"Hoohoo!!"

With a purring sound, the little golden cat grabbed the creek grouper, took it to the corner and started to eat it.

"Dong Dong Dong!!"

At around six o'clock, just as Xiulan put the noodles into the pot, there was a knock on the door.

Lin Heng walked over and opened the door. A young man wearing black clothes with several patches appeared outside.

This was none other than Liu Ciwen, the young man Lin Heng had met in Hongfeng Mountain before.

"Brother Lin Heng, I passed here herding cattle and wanted to come over and exchange two books. I have already read the two books you brought to Lin Caiyun last time."

His tone was friendly, with a shy smile on his face, and a pair of Jiefang shoes on his feet with his toes exposed.

"Of course it's no problem, come in quickly." Lin Heng smiled and pulled him into the house.

"Xiulan, please show me your face." Lin Heng shouted into the room again.

"Brother Lin, I'm going to eat. Don't let me do it for you. I'll change the book and leave." Liu Ciwen waved his hands repeatedly. Borrowing books was already a huge favor. He really didn't dare to eat anymore.

"Oh, you can eat if I ask you to." Lin Heng smiled and pulled him into the room to sit down. This young boy was so polite.

Liu Ciwen had no choice but to sit down, looking a little embarrassed.

Lin Heng poured him a glass of water, and he quickly stood up to take it, saying thank you repeatedly.

Soon Xiulan scooped out a bowl of pickled cabbage noodles and placed it in front of Liu Ciwen. She smiled and said, "Eat quickly. There will still be some in the pot after you finish."

This was pure white noodles. Liu Ciwen was a little flattered and quickly waved his hands and said, "I can't finish this much, really."

"Eat yours, you're welcome. I'll get you a book after eating." Lin Heng pushed him down on the bench.

Then Lin Heng himself brought a bowl of rice and chatted with him while eating.

From his eating movements, Lin Heng knew that he must have gone out to herd cattle without eating in the morning.

"Brother Lin, Sister Xiulan, I've finished eating. You guys eat slowly."

After eating, Liu Ciwen went to the kitchen to scoop out water and wash his own dishes. Xiulan couldn't stop him.

"The books are all here. You can pick as many as you like. It doesn't matter."

Lin Heng took out the book, looked at him and said with a smile.

When he saw the book, Liu Ciwen's shy and slightly timid eyes flashed with light. He picked it up and flipped through it, and finally chose a copy of Jane Eyre and a copy of Gorky's Childhood.

"Just these two books, thank you Brother Lin." Liu Ciwen said with a shy smile.

"You're welcome." Lin Heng waved his hand.

"Then I'll have a good meal and drink before leaving. Brother Lin, Sister Xiulan, you must go to my house to play when you have time."

Liu Ciwen said it again very politely before leaving.

Lin Heng didn't try to keep him and sent him out.

"This Liu Ciwen is only 15 years old, he is so sensible."

Seeing Lin Heng coming back, Xiulan commented.

In this era, rural children study late, and it is not uncommon for those who are fifteen or sixteen to only enter the sixth grade of primary school.

"Yes, a child from a poor family has already become a master. There is nothing we can do about it, but I think he will definitely achieve something in the future."

Lin Heng said with a smile.

Xiulan was puzzled: "How did you see it?"

"Feel it." Lin Heng smiled.

"Are you going out in the morning?" Xiulan asked again.

"If you don't go out, I guess the brick factory owner will come looking for you soon," Lin Heng said.

Xiulan looked at him: "Do you want me to prepare food?"

Lin Heng waved his hand and said no.

At about eight o'clock, there was a knock on the courtyard gate.

Lin Heng opened the door and took a look. Wang Jie, the owner of the brick factory, smiled and said, "Brother Lin Heng, I'm here to disturb you today."

"What's going on?" Lin Heng asked him knowingly while inviting him in.

"Haha, of course it happened yesterday. Yesterday was my fault. Brother Lin Heng, don't be offended. I want us to talk about it again." Wang Jie said with a smile.

Lin Heng was not surprised by this. He left yesterday to give him time to think.

"Then what do you think now?" Lin Heng asked slowly without being anxious.

Wang Jie took a sip of water to calm down and said with a smile: "I want to spend a thousand yuan to buy this planning book. What do you think?"

"A thousand?" Lin Heng smiled, "It seems that Boss Wang is here to entertain me. If nothing happens, you can go."

Wang Jie quickly replied: "Haha, I just made a joke, so I will pay [-] yuan to buy this plan.

I'll pay a deposit of five hundred first, and after you finish writing, I'll verify it, and then I'll give you the remaining fifteen hundred. "

The suggestion given by his grandfather last night was to let this person become a shareholder. He would not contribute any money, but he could still have one more person to guide him.

He thought about it all night, but still didn't want anyone to buy shares, so he decided to pay for it. He feels that as long as relevant technologies are available, there is no need for anyone to guide him.

Lin Heng also saw that this person had no intention of letting him invest in the stock, and he stopped worrying about it and said, "The price is three thousand yuan, and you need to pay a deposit of one thousand yuan in advance."

"This is too expensive. My brick factory doesn't make that much money now." Wang Jie shook his head quickly.

"With this plan, let alone three thousand, three million can be easily earned. If you don't want to pay, I will find someone else." Lin Heng shook his head and said.

"Let's each take a step back, two thousand yuan. This is the limit I can accept at the moment. My small brick factory is really not profitable. Even if I have a planning document, I still need money to renovate it." Wang Jie complained.

"Then you can give two thousand first, and pay off the remaining one thousand as an IOU within six months. Three thousand is the lowest price. Unless you let me technically invest in it, it can't be lowered." Lin Heng shook his head and said.

"This...let me think about it."

Wang Jie looked at the planning book again, drank water for half an hour, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "I can follow what you said, but the planning book must be useful. If not, a full refund will be given."

"Okay, don't worry, you've made a lot of money." Lin Heng nodded.

This technology is worth [-] yuan, but there is no suitable partner at this stage. He needs cash now.

"I hope." Wang Jie breathed out. This was also a big gamble for him. His income last year was less than [-] yuan.

Later, Wang Jie asked Lin Heng to go to town with him to write an agreement and get money on the way.

Lin Heng told Xiulan, comforted his daughter, and left with Wang Jie with his bankbook and ID card.

Wang Jie came by carriage, so it was very convenient to go back.
