Return to the small mountain village in 1983

"What?"

Lin Zheng was looking in the direction of his daughter. He was chatting with Xiulan when he suddenly heard Xiaoxia shouting on the street.

Xiaoxia, wearing a white dress, stood in front of a fish stall, looking bright and lively. She pointed at the fish in the plastic bucket and said, "Dad, look at this big fish. Its scales are so strange."

Father Lin was the closest to Xiaoxia. He walked over to take a look and looked surprised. Then he turned around and said, "Really? The scales look so strange. The center is black, and the outer circle is normal silver-white."

While he was talking, Lin Heng had already pulled Xiulan over. There were about ten grass carps and carps in the rectangular plastic barrel, some of which had already turned white.

Lin Heng saw the fish Xiaoxia mentioned at a glance. It was a large grass carp weighing more than ten kilograms. Unlike other grass carps that looked dull in the water, the scales of this grass carp were a very deep blue-black in the middle and silver-white on the outside. The scales were arranged like dragon scales throughout the fish body.

The moment Lin Heng saw the grass carp, his heart moved, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. He said, "It's really different. What a magical fish."

The stall owner was a middle-aged man in his forties. Seeing that they were interested in the fish, he smiled and said, "This is from the breeding pond. The color is quite unusual. If you want to buy it, the price is still the same."

In his opinion, this fish has no extra value except for its color, and he is even worried that it will be difficult to sell because of its color.

Xiaoxia took Lin Heng's hand and said coquettishly: "Dad, this fish is so beautiful, let's buy it and take it home to raise it."

"Okay, let's buy it back." Lin Heng nodded and agreed. Then he looked at the boss and said, "I want this fish alive. Weigh it for me."

As he said that, he drove to the car to get his things. He came here specifically to fish today, so he brought an oxygen cylinder and a large thick plastic bag, just in case he caught some golden mandarin fish or something like that, he could bring them home in time.

By the time he drove over, Xiulan had already paid the money and was observing the fish curiously.

The fishmonger stared at the van driven by Lin Heng with wide eyes, shocked at how Lin Heng could be so young and yet so rich.

Some people nearby were also surprised. It was extremely remarkable to have a motorcycle these days, but they didn't expect that this young man actually had a van.

After a while, Lin Heng packed the fish and loaded it into the car. Ignoring the gazes of people around him, he parked the car in an empty space on the street in front.

When he came back, Xiaoxia took his hand and asked with a smile: "Dad, is this the dragon-scale grass carp you mentioned? Did I pretend to be very similar just now?"

"You know all this, you're so smart." Lin Heng was a little surprised. His expression changed at that time just out of habit. In fact, with his current wealth, it would be okay for him to show his desire to buy this fish. He could afford it even if it was several times more expensive.

But it was beyond his expectation that Xiaoxia could tell that it was a dragon scale fish and did not show it in front of the vendor. She was so smart at the age of less than nine.

"Of course, I am the smartest person in our family." Xiaoxia said happily with her head held high.

"Dad will buy you a candied haws to thank you later." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"Okay!" Xiaoxia agreed happily.

"We want to eat too." Lu Ming said, pulling his brother.

"Yes, yes." Lin Heng said with a smile.

He was very happy today because this dragon-scale grass carp was a female, and it was just right for her to mate with the mutated blue-purple male grass carp at home. The offspring might produce better-looking individuals.

After two years of careful breeding, the blue-purple grass carp that Xiulan caught has not only become more colorful, but has also grown to 13 pounds and is sexually mature and able to reproduce.

He was very happy while shopping and bought some mushrooms and wild vegetables. Then they drove back to Hongfeng Village.

When he got here, Lin Heng disinfected the dragon scale grass and put it into the pond. When it is in better condition, it can reproduce in May.

Now his fish tank in the city is very mature. He now raises ferocious carnivorous fish such as the mandarin fish and army fish he bought. It has filtration and oxygenation, as well as backup lead-acid batteries, so he is not afraid of power outages.

The blue-purple grass carp that Xiulan caught has not been caught yet. She plans to catch it and raise it after it finishes breeding this year.

In the afternoon they had dinner at their hometown, and then returned to the city with a pile of dishes and two slaughtered roosters.

With the arrival of April, the pig farm is still operating as usual and continuing to raise pigs this year.

In addition to running two factories, Lin Heng is also focusing on the construction of the land divided between his hometown and Jiangbei for demolition.

By the end of May, the terrain of Hongfeng Mountain had been tidied up, and all the greening and gardening trees purchased by Lin Heng were brought back and started to be planted.

The agricultural areas in the lower part have all been dug into neat and beautiful terraces. The soil was first dug away and the base was leveled. Then the soil was sifted with large stones and filled back in. The places that needed to be reinforced were built with a combination of concrete and large stones to build slope protection.

Most of the terraces will be planted with fruit trees such as peaches and plums, a part will be planted with pasture, and some will be left as vegetable gardens.

The original pasture was naturally destroyed, and the astragalus was dug out and sold as seedlings to farmers in the village who wanted to grow it at the beginning of the year.

After the terraces were built, life here has become much more convenient than before. You can drive directly into each piece of land along the newly built winding mountain road, making transportation very convenient.

Both Lin's father and mother said that the land was so beautiful. Compared with the land that was plowed with excavators, the loess slopes that were previously plowed by humans were simply ugly. The power of the machines was fully demonstrated at this moment.

After Lin Heng's efforts, his family gained an extra 150 mu of excellent terraced fields, but the cost was also quite high. The two excavators dug here for several months, and the cost was over 100,000 yuan.

With this large piece of good land, Lin Heng's idea is to not use the other land on the hillside at home. He can just plant crops in this area and the few plots of land near the roadside. It will be easy to work if cars can pass by. Rotary tillers can also be used for plowing, which is fast and can plow the land finely and deeply.

Naturally, my parents agreed. Such a large piece of land was enough. They could leave the rest of the hillsides uncultivated and just plant some trees to return the land to forest.

In addition to the terrain preparation on Hongfeng Mountain, Lin Heng also started laying the foundation for his villa. In addition to the normal foundation, he also built a large basement of 120 square meters.

The basement was eight meters deep and surrounded by solid basalt. He planned to install a sturdy door to store some treasures.

In the village, the small Western-style buildings built for my parents and my eldest brother's family have already reached two floors and are now being topped off. The next step is the interior decoration design.

The speed here is fast mainly because the foundation is flat and it is very easy to build a house. The past six months have been spent on transforming the surface of Hongfeng Mountain.

In the city north of the city, several steel structure factories have already started to be built, and the foundation of the office building has also begun. Lin Heng is not very busy, as there are people looking after the construction site. He only needs to go over every few days. He is mainly busy with the recruitment of people for the factory.

In this day and age, there are a lot of ordinary workers available for labor, but it is not easy to find educated ones because they all prefer public institutions. After asking the Human Resources Department to recruit many times, he finally recruited some relatively satisfactory ones.

But he is not in a hurry. The situation will gradually improve with the development of the times. He is now one of the people who have seized the opportunity and knows the future development trends. Steady progress is his most important strategy.

If there is a big problem with the talent, you can just cultivate it slowly by yourself. First, cultivate administrative talents, and then expand when the time comes.

Now he can be said to have achieved initial success. He only works four or five hours a day, and spends the rest of the time playing with his wife and children. His life can be said to be very comfortable.

In addition to going out to play, he also hired a martial arts coach to learn some self-defense and body-strengthening martial arts, did some exercise, and the Chinese painting he learned with Xiulan was also quite good.

This is what life is like when you seize the opportunity, it will become easier as time goes by.

In July, the children had a holiday, so Lin Heng and Xiulan took them, along with Li Shiwei and Wang Zhou, to Ancheng to play, and picked up Caiyun and played there as well.

It's unsafe with fewer people these days, so he always brings some people with him when he goes out.

In addition to playing with his family, he selected a group of relatives with good character from those who wanted him to help them find jobs or wanted him to help them get rich, and got them jobs in other industries first, and let them work there first. If they were capable, he would also give them some investment to let them do business in the future.

Because for him now, this is just a piece of cake, and the jobs arranged are all temporary. He arranges these so that he can have help when needed. If there are capable people here, they may invest in it and it can be regarded as a helper to him in the future.

Lin Hai has already fulfilled his promise. He invested 100,000 yuan in him, holding 30% of the shares, and let him start a small hardware accessories manufacturing factory.

Later he planned to help Li Shiwei and Li Shilei, but for now they still had to work in the corresponding companies to familiarize themselves with the situation.

Naturally, he is also prepared to invest in his eldest brother, who is one of the people who should be helped the most. However, he currently wants to develop in the village, so he does not need to make too much investment. He plans to invest in his three nephews in the future.

The help that my eldest brother-in-law gave me was that they could pay for their feed after the fish were sold, and the price was only 70% of the market price. They didn't need anything else for the time being.

By August, the main body of his villa was completed. It has three and a half floors above the ground, which is not particularly high. It covers an area of ​​500 square meters, which is considered large.

There are several supporting small houses and facilities at the back, and then the interior decoration, which is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

90 years passed quickly, and New Year's Day had passed in the blink of an eye. Lin Heng had earned 90 million this year, and his total net worth had exceeded million, and it was only years now.

"Dad, when are we going back to our hometown? I want to go back and see our big house." Xiaoxia asked, snuggling in Lin Heng's arms.

Lu Ming said while holding a small shovel: "I want to go back too, to the farm back home to pick up eggs, and I want to get some spicy cans to eat."

Du Heng also climbed onto the sofa and acted like a spoiled child: "I want to go back and watch TV. I miss my grandparents so much."

"I think you really want to watch TV." Xiulan laughed beside her.

"No, I just miss my grandparents." Du Heng immediately retorted.

Xiulan just smiled and said nothing, looking at Lin Heng.

"We'll go back the day after tomorrow and prepare tomorrow." Lin Heng said with a smile, touching his daughter's head.

"Dad, you're so nice. I love you!" Xiaoxia happily kissed her father on the face. She had always wanted to go home.

Today is only the second day of winter vacation, and he just finished two year-end summary meetings and concluded his work at the company.

Next year, the company will move to a new location, to the land allocated during the previous demolition. The factory building there has been built and is ready for occupancy.

His idea was to move the electromechanical plant there temporarily, leaving the feed factory alone for the time being, and then buy a piece of land and build a special factory when he had money.

In fact, a mechanical and electrical factory with ten acres of land is a bit small, but we will just leave it like this for now and talk about it later.

The next day they went out to buy some things, and Lin Heng also dealt with the company's affairs. On the morning of the third day, they packed up and took the children home.

The car that Lin Heng drove back to his hometown was still the same white van he drove last year, but the interior had been completely replaced.

All the plastic parts in the van that could be removed were removed and replaced with solid wood and genuine leather. The surfaces that could not be replaced were also covered with a layer. In this way, the smell in the car is much less and it is not so uncomfortable to sit in.

Originally he wanted to buy an off-road vehicle, but there were not many cars in the inland at that time, and the few jeeps that were available were expensive and difficult to use, so he gave up.

He only spent 20 yuan to buy a new Jetta, which he usually drives in the city and uses for office work. Business office work requires face. If you drive an expensive car and wear good clothes, others will think you are capable, and business talks will be more efficient.

When he returns to his hometown, he still prefers to drive a van because it has a large space that can hold more things and is more adaptable to dirt roads.

They set off at 8:30 in the morning after having breakfast. On the way, the children looked out of the window curiously. After riding in the car frequently this year, they were no longer prone to motion sickness.

This year, the road leading to the town was paved with concrete, and the journey back along the national highway became faster. It only took an hour to get back to Hongfeng Mountain.

After turning a huge 180-degree turn, you can see the rows of houses built around the huge ginkgo tree in the village, and the Red Maple Mountain in the distance can also be seen more clearly.

The mountain now looks much tidier than it did half a year ago. A blue and white Chinese-style villa stands a little below the top of the mountain. Surrounding it are beautiful gardens with many trees that do not shed their leaves in winter.

Two two-and-a-half-story white villas were built at the location of their old house in the village, which seemed out of place with the nearby earthen houses.

"It's completely different from when we came back in the fall. It looks so beautiful. Is it finished now?" Xiulan said with a smile, glancing through the passenger window.

"Yes, the village is beautiful in autumn. I like autumn." Xiaoxia tilted her head and continued.
