Return to the small mountain village in 1983

Chapter 158 Three-year wedding anniversary

There was nothing else in the tub, but a handful of flowers hand-tied from ginkgo and red maple leaves, nine in total, full and dazzling, wrapped in two newspapers.

What's more important is that there is a golden ring in the center of the flower, inlaid with a red agate gemstone.

"Like it, I didn't buy you a ring when we got married, so I have to buy it now." Lin Heng came over and said with a smile.

Today is their third wedding anniversary. On October 1980, 10, Xiulan came to Hongfeng Village from Lushui County and married him.

He had bought the ring a long time ago, three grams of gold and an agate gemstone for a total of one hundred and fifty, but he never took it out.

"I like it!" Xiulan choked and nodded, so moved that she burst into tears.

"What's there to cry about? Come here and I'll put it on for you."

Lin Heng smiled and wiped her tears, took her left hand and put the ring on her ring finger.

Xiulan looked at Lin Heng with eyes like autumn water, and said softly: "I also prepared a gift for you, thinking that if you can't remember what day it is, I won't give it to you."

As she spoke, she took out a small cloth bag from her pocket. After opening it, there was a handkerchief inside. When she opened the handkerchief, she revealed a shiny sterling silver ring.

She used the money she earned to find someone to order this when she went to the Baisha Township market last time. She never told Lin Heng.

If Lin Heng couldn't remember this day, she would give it to him when he was in a better mood next time. If he remembered it, she would give it to him immediately.

Xiulan grabbed Lin Heng's hand and brought the ring up fiercely: "Now it seems that you have remembered it a long time ago. You have been deliberately pretending not to remember today. How bad."

"Thank you, wife." Lin Heng pushed his wife against the wall and kissed her hard.

"No~"

Xiulan's eyes widened unexpectedly, her cheeks flushed, she looked at Lin Heng, then quickly closed her eyes and pretended not to know anything, her body honestly cooperated with Lin Heng.

"call!"

Three minutes later, Xiulan felt that she would suffocate to death if she continued, so she pushed Lin Heng away with a blushing face.

"That's enough, no more."

Seeing that Lin Heng still wanted to come, she quickly put her hand on his chest, fearing that she would not be able to control herself if he continued.

Lin Heng grinned: "You want to continue so much, I just want to wipe away your tears."

He reached out and wiped the tears from her face.

Xiulan blushed when she was told that, and said angrily: "If you continue to bully me, you can sleep on the floor tonight."

"Are you willing?" Lin Heng chuckled. Even if he didn't believe that his wife would have the heart to let him sleep on the floor today.

"Just laugh." Xiulan glared at Lin Heng.

"what!"

Before she could go out, she was pulled back by Lin Heng and bumped into her. Fortunately, it had soft and huge shock absorption.

"What are you doing?"

Xiulan glared at him fiercely.

"What not to do? Feel the real feeling."

Lin Heng hugged her tightly, making her feel even a little suffocated, but Lin Heng's broad and warm chest still made her intoxicated.

And Lin Heng also felt the pulsation of his wife's heartbeat and her truly attractive figure.

"Mom and Dad!!"

Xiaoxia walked into the room with a pile of maple leaf diamonds and looked at the two people strangely, not understanding what they were doing.

Xiulan's face suddenly turned red and she struggled out of Lin Heng's arms in panic.

Lin Hengze smiled leisurely and said: "Dad is hugging mom, expressing his love."

"I love daddy too!" Xiaoxia stretched out her little hand, not understanding the difference between the two kinds of love.

"Dad loves you too." Lin Heng kissed his daughter. Her daughter's little face was also very kissable, second only to his wife's little mouth.

Seeing Lin Heng's calmness, Xiulan regained her composure and glared at him accusingly.

"It's okay. She just saw it when she saw it. Sooner or later she will have to contact him." Lin Heng said with a smile. This is something that doesn't matter.

I have gradually understood this since I was a child, and I will not mess around if I know the strong relationship.

If you keep it secretive and don't let her know, she will probably study and try it out of curiosity. Domestic education in this area has always been too repressive, and it is not the correct method.

"I love my mother too!" Xiaoxia wanted to kiss her mother again. She didn't care at all what the two of them were doing just now.

Xiulan reluctantly let Xiaoxia kiss her. Really, Lin Heng's saliva was in her mouth, and her daughter's saliva was also on her face.

But she was really happy to be happy. She picked up the flowers in the pot and looked at them again and again, and couldn't let go of the ring on her hand.

"This leaf is already half-dried. If you dry it again, it can be stored permanently. It took me a whole morning to make it." Lin Heng said with a smile. It took him a lot of effort to make this thing.

"So you bought the beef this morning and came here to cook it?" Xiulan blinked, feeling really manipulated both physically and mentally by this man.

Lin Heng smiled, everything was self-evident.

"It's really disgusting. I was so sad this morning. I thought some people had forgotten this." Xiulan glared at him, then looked at her ring and flowers, unable to put them down.

"I also secretly took the beef. Let's roast it and taste it first." Lin Heng said as he walked out with his baby daughter in his arms.

Both his daughter and wife are so cute, he likes them so much.

He and Xiulan got married in November of the Gregorian calendar in 1980. Xiulan became pregnant with Xiaoxia in March of the following year and gave birth to her on the Lantern Festival of . Xiaoxia would be two years old by the Lantern Festival of the next year.

Taking his daughter to the yellow clay stove outside the wooden house, Lin Heng brought the firewood piled nearby and started to light a fire.

Xiaoxia watched curiously, and when Lin Heng lit the fire, her eyes showed an expression as if she had seen a miracle, she clapped her hands and jumped: "Okay!!"

After jumping twice, she took some firewood and leaves and threw them in. She thought it was fun.

"Don't play with fire. It's easy to hurt yourself. If you get burned, it will hurt more than your mother hitting you." Lin Heng looked at her and said.

Upon hearing this, Xiaoxia immediately covered her butt and stepped back, immediately understanding the danger of fire.

Lin Heng pulled her further away, and then threw some charcoal in. When the open flame went out, the charcoal had already ignited. Seal the stove mouth on the side with a stone slab, place a wire mesh on top, and start grilling.

Entering the house, Xiulan had already cut the beef he had secretly prepared. Watching him come in, he raised his head and asked, "Can these bamboo sticks on the table be used directly?"

"Okay, those are the barbecue skewers we prepared and washed with water." Lin Heng nodded and came over to help thread the meat.

"I took two or three kilograms of beef. Have you finished eating?" Xiulan looked at him and asked.

"It's all cut. I'll definitely eat it all. If I can't finish it, I'll go down and ask Li Shiwei and the others to come up and help." Lin Heng said with a smile.

I only took one lettuce and cilantro for vegetables, and nothing else. There are three people in my family, so we can just eat meat.

Three kilograms of meat went through ten skewers, and Lin Heng took it to the stove to bake it all at once.

Xiulan washed her hands and watched with Xiaoxia. After a while, the roast beef began to sizzle with oil and exude an attractive burnt aroma.

"It smells so good!" Xiaoxia sniffed, almost drooling.

"It'll be fine in a moment." Lin Heng said with a smile.

Don't turn the barbecue frequently at the beginning. Wait until one side is set, then brush with oil and turn the other side.

Because Xiaoxia also wanted to eat, Lin Heng grilled it for ten minutes before grilling the coriander and lettuce as well. "Okay, you can eat." Lin Heng took out three skewers of barbecue, and sprinkled two skewers with homemade barbecue ingredients.

Xiaoxia couldn't eat too much, so Lin Heng cut her into small pieces with a knife and dagger, sprinkled some salt and pepper and fed it to her little by little.

"So, my craftsmanship is pretty good, right?" Lin Heng looked at Xiulan and asked with a smile.

"Hmm, it's delicious, fragrant and spicy. The more you chew, the more delicious it becomes." Xiulan nodded repeatedly and couldn't stop puffing her cheeks.

"It's delicious!" Xiaoxia also nodded and praised.

Lin Heng said happily: "The lettuce and coriander are also roasted."

He himself couldn't stop eating. The cattle raised in the mountains in the countryside had not been fed with feed, and they were still calf meat. The texture and taste were indeed very good.

It's chewy in your mouth, but not like old pig skin that won't break. Coupled with the taste of homemade barbecue toppings, you can't stop eating it.

A family of three just sat in the maple forest, eating barbecue and looking at the scenery. This scene was really like a paradise.

In his last life, Lin Heng had imagined this in his dreams countless times.

"I thought I couldn't finish it, but I didn't expect that the two of us could finish it." Xiulan said with emotion after eating a piece of lettuce a little raw.

"It looks like a lot, but it's actually not much." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"Dad, you eat." Xiaoxia imitated her mother and took a bite of lettuce. If she felt it was not tasty, she stuffed it into Lin Heng's mouth.

"You are really my good baby." Lin Heng pinched her face, not daring to give it to her mother, so he let him eat the leftovers.

But there was no way, who would let this be his precious daughter? Not only did he eat the lettuce, but he also held her in his arms.

Lin Heng took care of the coriander, and Xiulan took care of the remaining leftovers.

The fire was lit for the first time in the cabin, and the barbecue that lasted for more than an hour was over. In addition to Xiaoxia's laughter, there were the sounds of birds chirping and the distant mountains and streams flowing.

Lin Heng took his wife to the fence to have a look. There were beautiful scenery on both sides of the river.

The clumps of cotinus on the opposite bank exude bright red color, as if they are clumps of flowers dotted among the various shades of yellow leaves all over the mountains and plains, which makes people feel comfortable physically and mentally.

On the slopes of the fields, you can see the figures of villagers working. The slate river is like a long jade belt winding down from the southwest.

Xiulan leaned on Lin Heng's shoulder and stared at the scenery in a daze, enjoying the tranquility and beauty. Xiaoxia was playing with maple leaves in Lin Heng's arms, babbling to herself.

Lin Heng is thinking about building a dam for the Shiban River at the entrance of the village, which will raise the water level by one or two meters, and the scenery will become more beautiful.

After watching for a while, the wind suddenly picked up, and the three of them returned to the wooden house. The wind was much lighter in the forest.

Xiulan sat on the swing with great interest. When she saw Lin Heng coming over, she quickly said: "Don't exert yourself."

"Got it." Lin Heng grinned and pushed hard, causing the swing to swing violently.

But it's only a swing of 70 or 80 degrees, not as scary as the men playing it.

"Too fast, too fast, slow down!!" Xiulan grabbed the rope and was a little scared.

"It's fun." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"You did it on purpose. I'm going to kill you. Stop it." Xiulan said harshly.

However, Lin Heng's swing speed became faster, and Xiulan gradually turned to praying: "Slow down, please."

"Call me brother! Be sweeter." Lin Heng said with a smile.

Xiulan glared at Lin Heng and gave in: "Brother, good brother~"

"Good sister!" Lin Heng was satisfied. Xiulan's soft voice really made people's hearts melt.

"Dad, I want to play too!" Xiaoxia danced and danced, finding it so interesting.

"Okay, okay, I'll play with you."

Lin Heng hugged her, sat on another swing next to her, and slowly started to swing.

Xiulan didn't get off the swing to take care of Lin Heng. She sat on it and rocked slowly.

The quiet cabin in the woods does have a different atmosphere.

"How about, do you want to stay here for a few days? When it snows in winter, the scenery will be very beautiful." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"Then let's come and live some time." Xiulan nodded, she also fell in love with this place.

After playing for a while, the three of them came down and entered the house, packed up their things, locked the door and went back.

Just halfway through, I heard someone at the bottom of the mountain say: "I said I couldn't find you people, so it turned out that you went to the mountain to play."

The person who spoke was none other than Li Shiwei, with a smile on his face.

"What's wrong?" Lin Heng asked curiously.

"Nothing, it's just about to get off work and I still can't find you. Your dad asked me to come over and look for you." Li Shiwei said with a smile.

"I'll send my daughter back and come here." Lin Heng said.

"I'm with you." Li Shiwei nodded.

After sending their daughter home and saying something to Xiulan, Lin Heng and Li Shiwei came to the Hongfengshan construction site.

The first row of retaining stone ridges has been built, the land has been leveled, and the uphill road left in the middle has been dug out.

Now everyone is digging the foundation for the retaining wall of the second row of fish ponds.

Lin Heng led people to spread the lines of the remaining five fish ponds in the first row and nailed them with wooden stakes to mark them.

Then we worked for a while, and it was almost six o'clock.

"Everyone will not come here tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. We have two days of rest and we will meet again the day after tomorrow."

Lin Heng announced the news when he took out his work book for everyone to sign.

Naturally, everyone had no objections to this, and it was good to have two days to go back and deal with household chores.

After disbanding, Lin Heng asked Lin Hai if he wanted to go fish frying with them tomorrow.

He came over and smiled: "I don't have time tomorrow, Brother Lin, Tian Yan is looking for me."

"Okay, you kid." Lin Heng shook his head. This guy was immersed in love and couldn't extricate himself.

Then Lin Hai said shyly: "One more thing. I want to take her to a barbecue the day after tomorrow. Do you think it can work, Brother Lin?"

"No problem, as long as you can call people over, that's your skill." Lin Heng patted him on the shoulder, naturally he had no objection.

"Thank you, brother." Lin Hai nodded gratefully, and then slipped away eagerly.

Lin Heng turned around and went home with his father and others. They couldn't wait to prepare the equipment needed to fry fish tomorrow.

"Make more nets, and hold fishing rods and other things in ground traps." Li Shiwei said with a smile.

"That's necessary." Lin Heng nodded. This time he went there to make a big event. If he doesn't bring back one or two hundred pounds of fish, it won't be considered a success.
