Return to the small mountain village in 1983

Chapter 272 Lush Pasture

"Go and open the door."

Xiulan turned to look at Lin Heng and said.

"it is good."

Lin Heng nodded and walked over to open the courtyard gate. Xiaoxia followed him holding the little ball.

"grandmother!"

As soon as the door opened, Xiaoxia greeted her in a sweet voice.

"Xiaoxia is so good." Mother Lin touched Xiaoxia's head, then handed the basket in her hand to Lin Heng and said, "I brought you some peas."

Lin Heng looked at the corner of the peas in the basket and was a little surprised: "Have all the peas grown now?"

While talking, he picked up one and put it in his mouth to eat. It was sweet, crispy and very good. The tender pods that have just grown and have not been around for a long time are the most delicious.

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

Lin Heng nodded and did not break her. The three of them pulled the rope and moved the meat under the eaves, waiting to be blown dry by the wind at night.

The rest was given to the three dogs and one cat, and they had a feast.

Xiaoxia eats the little heads of pea pods like pounding garlic.

Lin Heng chuckled: "That's a good relationship, Mom, you have something to support."

Mother Lin glanced at her and said, "Anyway, as long as your brother doesn't chase you away, I don't have a problem with whichever house you want to go to."

"We don't grow any ourselves. These are early peas grown by Murakami Li Yun's family. They gave me some as a gift, so I brought them to you."

After chatting for a while, Mother Lin started playing with Xiaoxia. After a while, the courtyard door was opened again. Caiyun walked in with a smile and said, "I guessed that my mother was here."

"It will taste better when it is cooked." Mother Lin touched her face and said softly. She liked this little granddaughter even more now, she was so well-behaved and lovable.

"That's okay." Mother Lin thought for a while, sat on the bench to rest, and started playing with Xiaoxia.

Although these air-dried venison have only been dried for half a day, the surface has already begun to dry, and it will be completely dry within half a week at most.

"So many." Mother Lin was surprised when she saw it.

"It's okay, just wait a moment, Mom." Lin Heng also said.

Xiulan took Lin's mother's hand and said, "Mom, you can play for a while and eat before you leave. The deer offal is almost ready. You can take some back and feed my dad with wine."

"As long as you know." Mother Lin nodded and added, "The sheep will give birth soon. I guess it will only be in the next two days. Judging from the big belly, maybe two or three will be born."

"Hey, wait, let me take a look." Lin Heng took it over and saw that it contained most of the deer liver. He then went into the house and cut some back, and added some deer belly and took it out to his mother.

After saying that, she looked at Xiaoxia who was eating peas and asked with a smile: "Xiaoxia, is it delicious?"

After moving the meat under the eaves, the two went back to stir-fry. Lin Heng removed the cooked bones and meat from the deer's head, leaving some of the better parts to eat, such as the deer's tongue and skin, and cut them into pieces to taste cold. very good.

"Good times~Thank you grandma."

After looking at the sky, Mother Lin shouted again: "Xiulan, is the meat stew okay? If not, I'll come get it tomorrow."

"That's for sure." Lin Heng smiled and nodded.

Lin Heng looked at Xiulan and found that she looked innocent, so he shook his head and said, "Nothing, I like to eat deer liver recently."

Mother Lin smiled and said that her mother's status in the village has improved a lot because of her son's position. Many women have taken the initiative to make friends with her.

"Okay, I'm leaving." Mother Lin seemed to notice something, smiled and left with her things.

"My brother will definitely not chase me away, right?" Caiyun tilted his head and looked at Lin Heng.

Then her nose twitched again: "Oh, the smell of braised pork is so delicious. I decided to eat at my brother's house today instead of going to Hongfeng Mountain."

Xiulan agreed and soon brought out a bag of braised pork.

Mother Lin smiled and said: "We are not in a hurry, our family will be able to eat it soon, let Xiaoxia have a taste of it."

After Lin Heng chatted for a while, he found out what his parents were doing. Lin's father and his eldest brother were raking fields and repairing canals, preparing to plant rice in a few days, while Lin's mother was herding cattle.

Xiulan brought a glass of water to Mother Lin and said, "Mom, take it back and eat it with my dad."

"By the way, your forest musk deer is about to fall, you know, right?" Mother Lin suddenly said.

Lin Heng said with a smile: "I'll go over and take a look tomorrow, and prepare to start raising shrimps by the way."

"You look like a child." Mother Lin shook her head. Caiyun was obviously much more lively since she went to school again, and she felt a lot better looking at it.

Lin Heng nodded: "I know, I will go to Hongfeng Mountain to build a forest musk deer enclosure in a few days, and I will raise them there in the future."

"Okay Mom, I'll get it for you."

Xiulan quickly got up and closed the door. When she came back, she looked at Lin Heng and said, "Put the meat away and let's get ready to eat."

"it is good."

Xiulan smiled and said: "It just contains the liver and small intestines that you and my dad like to eat, and a piece of braised venison, not much."

Mother Lin smiled and shook her head: "Come back to get it tomorrow. Your dad must be hungry. I will be angry if I go back late."

Mother Lin glanced at her son: "Thank you for planting three acres of pasture, otherwise I wouldn't raise it for you."

She is very satisfied with her son now and doesn't ridicule him much anymore. She wanted to beat him before.

Xiulan only made one stir-fried bean pod with minced garlic, and the rest were braised vegetables. Just make a vinegar soup, which is very convenient to eat.

The stir-fried pea pods and pea wedges were very sweet and had the aroma of garlic. Xiaoxia put them into her mouth one after another.

"The taste of this deer's offal is completely different from that of pig." Caiyun said while eating the braised deer intestines.

Lin Heng took a bite of the deer belly and said with a smile: "That's natural. Deer and cow are more similar, both have four stomachs."

If it weren't for the fact that the weather wasn't suitable for eating hot pot, eating hot pot with this deer's belly would be a must.

Caiyun nodded and smiled again: "In the final analysis, my sister-in-law is good at her craftsmanship. If her craftsmanship is poor, the ingredients will be useless."

Xiulan smiled slightly and said softly: "Eat more if you like it."

She also likes to eat deer tripe. It tastes so rich after being braised and then served cold.

"Sister-in-law is so nice." Caiyun grinned.

Lin Heng took a sip of rice wine, gave Xiulan some braised deer liver and said, "Eat more of this, it will replenish your blood."

Xiulan pursed her lips and ate one, then threw the rest to Lin Heng: "It's too boring, you eat it."

"Eat quickly, the doctor said you are anemic." Lin Heng took it back to her and urged her. Xiulan didn't like to eat things like liver blood, so she quietly sent out deer liver in the afternoon.

"Ok."

Xiulan obediently picked it up and ate it. Although she was forced to do so, she felt very happy. It seemed to be because of Lin Heng's concern.

"That's right." Lin Heng nodded with satisfaction.

"Oh, show me your affection." Caiyun said with a smile, which made Xiulan feel a little embarrassed.

Lin Heng glanced at her and said with a smile: "Come on, come on, you can eat some too."

"I'm kidding, brother." Caiyun quickly begged for mercy.

But it was useless, Lin Heng had already stuffed it into her bowl.

The few of them finished their meal happily, and Caiyun consciously helped Lin Heng wash the dishes.

Xiulan wanted to take some braised pork to her sister-in-law so that her sister-in-law would not worry too much. Lin Heng was watching from the door. When Xiulan found out, she glared at him: "You don't believe me so much." "Well, after all, you have already done this once in the afternoon." Lin Heng nodded with a smile.

Xiulan snorted, took the things and went out with Caiyun, and came back soon after delivering the things.

Lin Heng was watching the stars with Xiaoxia in the yard. Xiongba was beside him, coquettishly, and wanted Lin Heng to untie him.

Xiulan came back and walked up to Lin Heng and hit him on the chest: "I am definitely not anemic now."

"This deer's liver should be almost finished after eating it." Lin Heng pulled her over to sit next to him and said with a smile.

"There's really nothing we can do about you." Xiulan spread her hands.

At this time, Xiaoxia turned around and said, "Dad, I can't count."

"It's okay, let's find the Big Dipper." Lin Heng picked her up and said, he has found the Big Dipper these days.

Xiulan was also watching Lin Heng from the side, resting her head on him very comfortably.

Lin Heng is also very interested in science fiction and provides some basic astronomy knowledge to Xiaoxia to cultivate her curiosity.

Unknowingly, the three of them had been playing outside for half an hour. The night was windy and cold. Xiulan saw that the time was almost up and said, "Husband, go back to the house and rest."

"Okay, listen to my wife." Lin Heng agreed, turning around and returning to the house with Xiaoxia and the others.

After going back to the house to wash up briefly, Lin Heng hugged Xiaoxia and went to bed, but she struggled and said, "I want to sleep with daddy."

"Okay, then let's sleep together."

Lin Heng didn't scold her, he carried her on the bed next to him, and then told her stories to put her to sleep.

His wife on the left and his daughter on the right are also very happy things to him. Happiness is not just a natural impulse, but more of the spiritual comfort brought by this long-term companionship.

When he wakes up in the morning, he can see the smiling faces of his wife and daughter sleeping soundly. He feels that the rest of the day will be happy.

After a while, Xiulan also opened her eyes, put her hand on Lin Heng's neck and said, "Don't you want to sleep more today?"

"Okay." Lin Heng nodded, not wanting to get up.

When Xiulan heard this, she yawned and buried herself in Lin Heng's chest before going back to sleep.

Xiaoxia woke up at eight o'clock and crawled on the bed. Ten minutes later, the three of them got dressed and got up.

Lin Heng resumed his morning exercise and exercised with Xiulan, while Xiaoxia was babbling and gesticulating beside him.

After exercising and making breakfast for Xiulan, Lin Heng moved the dried venison under the eaves to the yard to dry, and also took a bottle of Erguotou to spray and disinfect it.

After doing this, he found a few nails to fix the antlers on the wall of the study. There were landscape paintings and antlers. Lin Heng felt that the study had a little bit of feel and it was comfortable to stay in it.

After finishing it, he sorted out the bloodstones again. The biggest gain this time was not the sika deer but these stones. With such good quality, they can easily be sold for a large price.

After playing with the soapstone for a while, Lin Heng went out to have breakfast. After breakfast, the family of three prepared to go to Hongfeng Mountain.

Xiulan was still dressed as yesterday, except that her high ponytail was replaced by a braid, which was pulled out from her right shoulder and placed on her chest.

"I've packed it." Xiulan said, holding a basket of clothes.

"Then let's set off."

Lin Heng smiled and nodded, drove the tricycle onto the highway, and took Xiaoxia and her daughter to Hongfeng Mountain.

"Get in the car!!"

Xiaoxia sat on the carriage and cheered.

"Sit tight."

Lin Heng said with a smile and drove towards Hongfeng Mountain. The spring breeze was bright and the sun was warm on the road.

In this season, all the trees are green, and there are all kinds of beautiful flowers in the fields and mountains. You can smell the fragrance of flowers while walking on the road.

"It's been a year in the blink of an eye."

Xiulan turned to look at Lin Heng with a bright smile.

Lin Heng looked at her and smiled: "If you don't get bored, you will be like this for the rest of your life."

The wind blew Xiulan's pink and white floral skirt, but her smile was still bright: "No, I just like this kind of life."

"The place has arrived."

Lin Heng smiled, got out of the car, opened the door of the breeding base, and then drove directly to the top warehouse.

After stopping the car, Lin Heng first hugged Xiaoxia and then pulled Xiulan out of the car. This dressed-up Xiulan made him feel like he couldn't help but hug her into his arms.

Xiulan looked at the environment here and said to Xiaoxia, "Xiaoxia is not allowed to run around."

"Good~"

Xiaoxia obediently held her mother's hand.

Lin Heng was not in a hurry to work and took his wife and children for a walk first.

"My parents are really hardworking. They have planted several vegetable gardens in just a few days."

Lin Heng looked at the newly opened vegetable garden and sighed with emotion.

"Dad also said that day that we would dig up all the weeds and shrubs and turn them into ground." Xiulan said with a smile.

Lin Heng shook his head. His parents were always busy.

"The grass is so deep."

Lin Heng was a little shocked when he arrived at the pasture. It felt like it had just passed not long ago. The rye grass and alfalfa are both thirty to forty centimeters tall, and the elephant grass is one meter and two meters tall.

Xiulan nodded and said, "It's been more than a month, and it's very fertile here. Of course it's growing fast."

After hearing what Xiulan said, Lin Heng remembered that a month had indeed passed. Time flew by so fast that he couldn't remember clearly.

"This forage can be harvested after a while." Lin Heng nodded. The forage was collected, chopped, dried and piled in the warehouse. It is better for cattle and sheep to feed hay and fresh grass together.

This high-quality pasture is definitely more nutritious than simple straw, and is better for feeding cattle in winter.

Compared with pasture, forsythia grows much slower, only 20 centimeters tall.

After looking at the pasture, Xiulan pointed to the southwest again when walking back: "I'm going to build a forest musk deer enclosure there, what do you think?"

Xiulan looked at it and said, "It's good over there. You have to be strict, otherwise it's easy to run into the mountains."

Lin Hengdao: "I'm going to use the remaining bricks and cement to build a brick house myself."

"That's no problem. It'll be easier to raise her if you move her here." Xiulan nodded.

After wandering around twice, Xiulan was ready to wash clothes. Lin Heng took Xiaoxia and the others to the mountain stream through the small door above.

Lin Heng said while building a washing stone for Xiulan: "Why don't you go up and take a look at the wooden house and ginseng first."

Xiulan thought for a while and shook her head: "Let's go up after washing the clothes. You can also come and stay for a few days after cleaning."

"Okay." Lin Heng nodded.

After setting up the washing stone, Lin Heng said something and then went back and drove the car back to the house.

He needs to move the machine he bought from the house first, then pump out water to raise it, and prepare to cultivate shrimp seedlings.

"Brother, come here and help me."

Lin Heng found his elder brother to help move the machine.
