Return to the small mountain village in 1983

Chapter 31 Watching the Starry Sky with My Wife
  They found a blue stone on the roadside of the mountain. Lin Heng and Xiulan sat down to rest. Xiongba, who was still a puppy, lay at Lin Heng's feet.

"Why are you sitting so far away? Are you afraid that I will eat you?"

Lin Heng glanced at his wife, stretched out his hand to pull her to his side, and pressed her head on his shoulder.

"What are you doing?" Xiulan glanced at him.

"This is called watching the starry sky together. Doesn't it feel a little special?" Lin Heng said while looking at the stars.

"No……"

"Then stay close for a while."

"now what?"

"It's a bit."

"Then watch for a while."

"it is good."

Xiulan looked at the sky, wondering what kind of strange ritual this was.

But as I rested my head on Lin Heng's shoulder and looked at the not-so-dense stars, I gradually felt a warm and throbbing feeling.

"really weird……"

Xiulan whispered, why does her heart beat faster when looking at the starry sky?

She thought it might be caused by often working with her head down and not looking at it.

Lin Heng smiled, looked at his wife's side face, and put his arm around her shoulders. The forest where the insects roared seemed particularly peaceful at this moment.

In my previous life, there were many things I wanted to do with my wife, but I never had the chance. In this life, I will try to make up for it.

After watching the starry sky for half an hour, Xiulan finally felt that it was getting late, so she reluctantly broke away from Lin Heng's arms.

"I'm afraid my daughter will wake up, so I'll have to watch it next time." She walked quickly to the front and said.

Lin Heng smiled and felt extremely satisfied.

On the way back, the two took a small path and continued to catch cicada monkeys.

"Husband, do you want this white cicada monkey that has just shed its shell?" Xiulan grabbed a white cicada monkey and asked.

"Yes, the white one is the best." Lin Heng said quickly.

There are three types of cicadas: the golden cicada that has just emerged from the soil but has not shed its shell, the white cicada that has shed its shell but has not hardened and dried, and the black cicada that has dried and hardened its wings and turned into an adult.

Black cicadas are the most unpalatable and have few nutrients. Golden cicadas and white cicadas are both delicious and have extremely high protein content, which is more nutritious than eating meat.

"That's just right. Many golden cicadas have shed their shells now." Xiulan said while grabbing them.

It took about forty minutes, and it was already past [-]pm when I got home, and everyone in the family was asleep.

Xiulan held a one-liter plastic bottle and shook it: "How to deal with this?"

"Just pour it into the basin and give it to me."

Lin Heng said something, then looked at the cicada sloughs picked up in another small bag held by his wife: "You also collected cicada sloughs?"

"Yes, it costs [-] yuan per catty. Unfortunately, it is too difficult to collect. I can't even pick up half a catty in one summer." Xiulan nodded. As long as it can increase the family's income, she will instinctively collect some. .

"It's okay, just pick something up." Lin Heng nodded, understanding how hard his wife had worked in the past.

However, everything will get better soon.

Pour all the cicada monkeys into the basin, and you can hear the sound of climbing and rubbing. If not handled in time, they will all complete their molts in one night.

The treatment method is also very simple. Just pour it into a bag and throw it into a bucket to drown. In a few minutes, they are all dead.

Take it out and drain it, put it in a basin, pour some wine, sprinkle some salt on it and wash it, then spread it out to dry. It won't go bad overnight.

If you have a refrigerator, you can just put it in the refrigerator and freeze it, but if you don't have one, this is the only way to deal with it.

"Wash your feet." Xiulan brought the cloth shoes she made for Lin Heng. "Have you washed it?" Lin Heng asked with a smile.

"No." Xiulan instinctively felt something was wrong.

Hearing this, Lin Heng came to the bench, pushed her up, and smiled: "Then I will wash it for you, just in time to fulfill today's promise. After all, I am a person who keeps my promises."

Xiulan was coy and unwilling: "This is not good..."

It's so weird.

"It's nothing, and it's just the two of us..."

Lin Heng squatted down and took off his wife's shoes. Her feet were not big, probably only about size [-]. They were so thin that the veins could be seen.

The skin is soft and supple to the touch.

Xiulan blushed when she saw the way Lin Heng washed his feet. There was no such way of washing feet. Fortunately, no one saw it.

After washing for about ten minutes, Xiulan forced herself to put on her shoes.

Lin Heng sighed, took a shower himself, and went to bed to rest. He had no intention of continuing to mess around.

I went down to the city yesterday and went up the mountain today, which was quite tiring.

But Lin Heng found that his wife was tossing and turning today and couldn't sleep. He thought she was sick, so he reached out and touched her forehead: "What's wrong? I feel uncomfortable somewhere."

"I'm not sick, go to sleep." Xiulan whispered.

Lin Heng didn't think much about it, but after sleeping for a while he found that his wife was still asleep, and he immediately became worried: "Did you get bitten by something at night? Or did you fall?"

As he said this, he would touch the flashlight to check on his wife. He couldn't bear the risk of losing his wife. A minor illness could easily turn into a serious illness if he wasn't careful.

Xiulan grabbed his hand: "No, stop guessing."

"That won't work. I have to take a look, or you can tell me directly." Lin Heng's attitude was very firm.

"I'm telling you." Xiulan's voice was as thin as a mosquito's groan: "In fact..."

Although Xiulan spent a long time without saying anything, Lin Heng suddenly had an idea and understood. He knew what the reason was.

"Ugh..."

Lin Heng just wanted to say it was okay, he could do it for him, but as soon as he opened his mouth, it was blocked...

He couldn't help but widen his eyes. Wife, you are shy to say this, so just do it, right?

Still so caught off guard!
  This huge size made him a little overwhelmed for a while. As if she didn't want him to speak, Xiulan didn't give her a chance to react.

Lin Heng didn't expect that he would eat a midnight snack for no reason, and finally burped and fell asleep.

The next morning, Lin Heng woke up very early and was particularly energetic.

I just looked at my wife's face and thought it was funny. You were so shy, but you didn't hesitate to move your hands. You almost choked him to death.

"Nothing happened last night, don't talk nonsense!" Xiulan glared at him and warned sternly.

After saying that, he put on his shoes and hugged his daughter and went out.

"Hahaha!"

Lin Heng got up with a smile and walked outside the door. The first thing he did was to look at his grass carp eggs in the wooden basin. He had to hold in his urine first.

Taking a closer look, he found that some fish eggs were already squirming. It would take less than two days for this batch of grass carp fry to hatch.

"It seems that we have to dig out the fish pond today." Lin Heng said to himself.

Once the grass carp eggs hatch, the wooden basin with a diameter of [-] meters cannot be raised at all, and a larger fish pond is needed.

Keeping them in small wooden basins will only make them all meet the King of Hell, and a large fish pond is inevitable.
