Chapter 95: Introducing a Wife to My Cousin
“Brother Tang, you are so cruel, you took all the fungi from me.”
After walking away, Lin Hai couldn’t help but say.
Lin Heng looked back at him and said with a smile: "Do you like Jin Yan very much?"
Lin Heng suddenly became shy: "There is one thing, she is so good-looking, who wouldn't I like it, cousin, didn’t you propose marriage back then?”
"So, you see, it's been two or three years, and she's not married yet. She's obviously waiting for a price. Do you think you have hope?" Lin Heng asked with a smile.
Lin Hai was stunned: "She just said that she didn't find anything she likes."
"Even if I wait for a price, I want to give it a try. Maybe I can impress her." Lin Hai also said that he and Lin Heng were the same age but only a few months younger, and they had been worrying about getting a wife.
“Hey, give up on this woman and I’ll introduce you to a better one.” Lin Heng said with a smile. Lin Hai and he had been playing together since childhood. He really didn’t want Lin Hai to fall into an unhappy marriage in the future.
Although Lin Hai failed to succeed in his last life and ended up marrying a woman from another village, who knows if he will succeed in this life because of his butterfly effect.
So it’s better to dissuade them in time.
"Better? Who is it?" Lin Hai's eyes widened. There were not many beautiful people in the village, how could there be a better one?
Lin Heng turned to look at him and said with a smile: "Isn't Tian Mei, who teaches at Murakami, not married yet? If you go after her, wouldn't you be better than Jin Yan?"
"Ah, That's the youngest daughter of the village party secretary, and people look down on me." When Lin Hai heard that it was this person, he shook his head.
"Don't deny yourself in a hurry. You think it's impossible, so what courage do you have to pursue it?" Lin Heng was speechless.
Lin Hai was a typical person with low self-esteem. He didn't even try to overrule him first. He felt that the other person was unattainable before even making contact and he didn't dare to get close.
It is often like this that beautiful beauties will be chased away by those bold gangsters and end up wasting their lives.
In his last life, he remembered that Tian Mei was deceived by the second-rate guy from the next village like this, which almost made her father angry to death.
"Forget it, you are denying yourself. Even if I am Zhuge Liang, there is nothing I can do." Lin Heng shook his head and didn't want to say anything.
Lin Hai is not bad looking, but he is too introverted and his family background is average, so he has never found a wife.
"Cousin, you mean you have a way to help me catch up with Tian Mei?" The fire in Lin Hai's heart was lit.
Tian Mei is the flower of the high mountains in the hearts of men in many villages. She is quiet, elegant, educated and knowledgeable, so that many people don’t even have the courage to strike up a conversation, let alone think about it. .
Lin Heng tried it before meeting Xiulan in his previous life, but was rejected. It was not until a gangster from the village next to her kidnapped her that he later learned the reason from the gangster.
Lin Heng sighed, shook his head and said, "I don't want to say it anymore. You think you can't do it anymore, so what else can I say."
Shaking his head, he walked forward.
Lin Hai hurriedly caught up and took Lin Heng's arm: "Cousin, my good cousin, I kneel down for you. Teach me. As long as I can catch up, you will be my reborn parent. From now on, I will only You are from."
After all, they were childhood playmates, and Lin Hai was so shameless that he knelt down. If he really wanted to find a good wife, he would have to kowtow a few times to his cousin, let alone kneel down.
"You are so shameless. Stop kneeling down and let my dad beat me to death." Lin Heng kicked him and Lin Hai quickly jumped away.
"Then did you agree, cousin?" Lin Hai said with a smile.
Lin Heng glanced at him: "Of course, if I don't help you, who will I help?"
Glancing at Lin Hai, Lin Heng said: "First of all, you have to shave yourself well and dress up neatly.
Secondly, you have to study history, especially the history of the Qin and Han Dynasties. That Tian Mei likes the most These histories.
But one thing you have great potential is that Tian Mei also likes chess, but she is a bad chess player. You have to teach her a lesson and leave a deep impression on her. "< br>
Lin Hai was still thinking about how his cousin knew this, but when he heard the last sentence, he suddenly said: "Ah, teach her a lesson? Wouldn't this make her angry?"< br>
Lin Heng shook his head, patted his shoulder and sighed: "You are still too young. If you want a woman to fall in love with you, you must first leave a deep impression. Killing her in chess is nothing.
And Tian Mei has the kind of character that refuses to admit defeat. If you kill her and throw away her armor, it will arouse her competitive spirit and come to you to continue playing chess. Won't she have the opportunity to get to know and get familiar with her over and over again? "
" Damn it, philosophy, no wonder cousin, you can catch up with Sister-in-law Xiulan. With your methods, I just wish I didn't seek advice from you earlier. "
Lin Hai was shocked. It turns out that chasing girls can still be like this. The door to a new world has been opened.
"This is nothing. "Lin Heng shook his head, "But you have to remember, just kill her miserably in the first few times, then you have to hang her up later, give her some hope, but make sure she can't win.
Then you should read history carefully during this period. I have a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Take it and read it, and then ask her for advice on how to help Liu Bei restore the Han Dynasty. You must be firm. Fans of the Han Dynasty. ”
Lin Hai was already astonished. He felt that it was no wonder that his cousin could get rich. He always followed the same rules when chasing women.
"And then." Seeing that Lin Heng stopped talking, Lin Hai felt itchy in his heart and couldn't wait to hear the next words.
“Then what the hell, you have to do these things first. Especially for study, it doesn’t matter if you only have a primary school education, but you really have to study hard, not just history, but also read more other books. Be a Useful people make themselves better, otherwise everything will be in vain."
Lin Heng shook his head. He felt that Lin Hai's IQ would not be low if he could play chess by himself. If he changes well, he would be better off in the future. Very promising.
He will also need help in his future breeding and business. Those people who know the basics and have played with him since childhood are better than strangers.
"Don't worry, cousin, I will definitely do as you say." Lin Hai assured, patting his chest.
But he suddenly hesitated again: "Cousin, if your village party secretary finds out, will he skin me?"
"You are afraid of wolves in front of you and tigers in the back, so why not Don't think about women." Lin Heng rolled his eyes.
Tian Dongfu, secretary of the village party committee, is a very enlightened person and advocates free love and free marriage. Otherwise, his daughter would not have been abducted by a gangster in his previous life.
But Lin Heng didn’t want to tell Lin Hai that if he didn’t even have this determination, then he shouldn’t harm others.
Lin Hai thought for a while and nodded fiercely: "I know, cousin, I will work hard."
Lin Heng waved his hand and looked around, a little strange, where is Xiulan, let's go I haven't found it all the way. Could it be that I went back?
No, she will definitely wait for him, unless something happens.
“Xiulan!!”
He called while searching.
"Sister-in-law!"
Lin Hai was also looking around in the forest to help.
"Woof woof~"
A majestic voice came from the distance, and Lin Heng ran over quickly.
“I’m here.”
Xiulan responded.
"Are you injured?" Lin Heng noticed something was wrong from a distance. Xiulan took off her shoes while sitting on the stone.
"It's okay, it's just a minor injury from a fall." Xiulan shook her head.
Lin Heng ran over to check and found that no trace of skin on Xiulan's ankle had been wiped off, and there was a cut as deep as a grain of rice.
"Are there any other injuries on your body?" Lin Heng held his wife's feet and asked softly.
"No, I just accidentally fell down and got scratched by a stone, and my clothes were a little torn." Xiulan shook her head and said.
Lin Heng was heartbroken and blew gently: "Does it still hurt?"
"Yes, it hurts a little." Xiulan nodded gently and said: "I I’m afraid that my daughter will run away, so I haven’t moved here. Just go and get me some cat ear powder and apply it.”
When rural people are injured in the wild, they will use the tan on the back of cat ears. Powder application.
This is a strange plant that grows on stone skin and looks like cat ears.
The scientific name of this plant is Shiwei longifolia, and the spores on its back are used in rural areas, which have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects.
This thing is everywhere on the stone skin. There is no iodophor or alcohol. This is what everyone uses, and the effect is pretty good.
"You can't do this. There's still soil in the meat, so it needs to be rinsed off."
Lin Heng looked at his wife's ankle, which was still a little swollen, and asked: "Are you Did you twist your foot?"
"Yes, it hurts a little, but it shouldn't be a big deal." Xiulan nodded.
"Then wait a moment, I'll call Lin Hai over to get something, and then I'll help you down the mountain." Lin Heng said, and turned to find his cousin Lin Hai.
“Cousin, there’s no need to look for me, I’m here.”
At this time Lin Hai ran from a distance, looked at Xiulan and said with concern: “Are you okay, sister-in-law.”
Xiulan shook her head and said it was okay.
"Hold Xiaoxia and help me hold the backpack." Lin Heng said, poured his things into Xiulan's backpack, then folded the two and handed them to Lin Hai. .
"Okay." Lin Hai nodded and walked over to hug Xiaoxia.
“I want daddy.” Xiaoxia shook her head and backed away, refusing to let her hug her.
"I want to hug mom. Your mom is injured and needs my support. Let your uncle hold you." Lin Heng glanced at her and said.
Xiaoxia looked at her mother's feet, then at her uncle Lin Heng, and reluctantly agreed: "Then let's go."
"I'll pull you." Lin Hai had no choice but to pull him Xiaoxia leaves. Lin Heng supported Xiulan, and just after taking a step or two, Xiulan gasped in pain.
"I'll carry you, don't be brave." Lin Heng glanced at Xiulan and directly carried her on his back.
Xiulan wanted to say no, but she was already hugged by Lin Heng's legs, so she could only grab Lin Heng's neck and walk back.
"Be careful, take a rest if you can't carry it anymore." Xiulan whispered in Lin Heng's ear.
"You only weigh a hundred pounds, how can I not be able to carry it, don't worry."
Lin Heng said with a smile that it was a completely different feeling to carry his wife on his back, both mentally and physically.
"How many times have I carried you on my back?" Lin Heng asked while feeling his wife's soft body.
Xiulan hugged Lin Heng's neck and thought for a while: "It seems to be the fourth or fifth time. Anyway, it was all before marriage."
Lin Heng thought for a while. , it seems so. I haven’t carried my wife on my back since I got married, and I have hugged her a few times.
The words of the two people made Lin Hai a little unbearable. He thought that he must take down Tian Mei, and when the time comes, he would also carry his wife on his back to show off his affection.
When carrying his wife on his back and walking for a while, Lin Heng would weigh her and carry her up a little to avoid her feet touching the ground.
It is also inevitable to feel the amazing elasticity of the back, which is completely different from the usual feeling.
Xiulan didn't say anything, but lightly bit Lin Heng's ear. Her cheeks felt a little hot, thinking he did it on purpose.
But her cousin Lin Hai was nearby, so it was difficult for her to speak.
The place where mushrooms were collected was near the door of the house. Even with Xiulan on his back, it took Lin Heng less than half an hour to get home.
"Cousin, sister-in-law, I'm going back first. Come and play at my house when you have time."
After sending Xiaoxia home and putting down the basket on her back, Lin Hai couldn't wait to run away.
"Wife, please pay attention." Lin Heng said and carefully placed Xiulan on the chair.
After Xiulan sat down, she rolled her eyes at Lin Heng: "Isn't it very comfortable?"
Lin Heng chuckled: "Don't you want me to carry it on my back?"
Xiulan glared at him: "Stop being such a mouthful and being so good when you get an advantage. Go get some water."
"Okay." Lin Heng went to pick up some clean water and brought a small handkerchief over. Wash the dirt from Xiulan's wound.
"You were talking about me this morning, but you were also injured. Be careful next time."
Lin Heng looked at his wife's sore mouth and gasped for air, and said sarcastically with a smile.
Xiulan pursed her lips: "You can't blame me, the road is too slippery."
After using water to wash away the mud from the wound, Lin Heng dipped a handkerchief in some white wine and dripped it on to disinfect it.
“It hurts!”
Xiulan cried out in pain and couldn’t help but lift her foot, almost reaching Lin Heng’s mouth.
Lin Heng looked at her: "...Although I like it, I'm not perverted enough to want to eat it."
"Hubby, I'm sorry, it hurts a little." Xiulan said sheepishly.
"If it doesn't hurt, it will fester by then." Lin Heng shook his head and dropped a little wine again. This time he caught it and kept his feet from moving.
"Okay, let's wait for it to dry and scab. You can't cover it in the summer." Lin Heng said that although the ankle is swollen, it should be nothing serious.
"Well, you bring the honeysuckle over here and I'll wait while I pick it." Xiulan said.
Lin Heng went to get the basket and honeysuckle.
Looking again at his daughter who was watching the little wild cat, Lin Heng took the wild grape vines to the backyard to plant.
You only need to dig a hole and bury the grape roots in it. You don’t need to worry about the rest. At most, you can water it in the afternoon when the sun is strong.
In less than a month, it will grow a large number of wild grapevines.
After planting the grapevines, Lin Heng returned to the front yard to handle the mushrooms.
Pour in the wormy chanterelles and feed them to the pig badger cub. The cub looked at it and ran over to eat. He was no longer afraid of Lin Heng.
The same little cub, but the wild cat cub is completely different. Now it is roaring when people approach it. Lin Heng wants to give it a hard fight.
After putting away the mushrooms, it was getting dark. Lin Heng looked at Xiulan and asked, "What's for dinner tonight? I'll do it." Just order some spinach to make soup," Xiulan said.
"Okay." Lin Heng nodded and went to his parents to pull out some spinach.
"I heard someone said that Xiulan sprained her ankle. Did you carry it back?" Mother Lin asked when she saw Lin Heng.
"Yes, but it's okay." Lin Heng nodded.
"Brother, do you want to take the sheep back?" Caiyun came back from herding the cattle and asked, holding the Lin Heng family's sheep by the hand.
“No, you can help me put it away tomorrow.” Lin Heng said with a smile.
Caiyun guessed that this was the case, and shook his head speechlessly: "Then the New Year Sheep will give me some points."
"Of course, I won't treat you badly." Lin Heng nodded, He took the spinach and ran away.
After dinner was cooked and the family of three finished eating, Lin Heng gave his daughter a bath, changed into clean clothes and put her to bed.
Xiulan's foot injury has scabbed over, and the pain in her ankle has initially eased. She can barely walk without Lin Heng's help.
The next day, because Xiulan was injured, Lin Heng did not go to the mountain. He went to Murakami to look for lime, and after asking around, he heard that Murakami Elementary School had recently painted the walls, using lime, and there might be some left.
Maple Village Primary School is located on an empty hillside to the east of the village, far away from farmers’ households.
Murakami Elementary School is not surrounded by walls like those in later generations. There is no money to do this. The ground is all dirt, and only the house is made of red bricks, but it is not painted.
Lin Heng came early, and before the students from Murakami arrived, Tian Yan, the only teacher in the school, was in the office, lying on the table writing something.
She wore a white shirt on her upper body, black trousers on her lower body, and flat leather shoes. Her hair was tied into two ponytails and fell from her shoulders to her chest. She has a quiet and elegant temperament, full of the unique energy and drive of intellectual young women in this era.
"Excuse me, what are you doing?" Seeing Lin Heng walking to the door, Tian Yan asked in less than standard Mandarin.
Of course she knew Lin Heng. In the past two days, she had heard her father talk about Lin Heng's recent deeds.
"Teacher Tian, I heard that there is lime here at Murakami Elementary School. I want to buy some for home use." Lin Heng said without squinting.
"There is still a small half bag left, I will get it for you." Tian Yan glanced at Lin Heng, walked to the foot of the wall, picked up the remaining small half bag of quicklime and handed it to Lin Heng.
"How much is it?" Lin Heng took it and asked.
“You can use it, it’s free of charge.” Tian Yan waved her hand.
Lin Heng took out a dollar and put it on the table: "It would be good to buy a pencil for the students in the village."
Tian Yan looked at the money and nodded: "Thank you very much. . ”
“By the way, let me ask you a question. Didn’t my sister Caiyun stop studying in the sixth grade? I want her to go to junior high school in the second half of the year. I don’t know if she can continue to go to school. She has already I have been out of school for more than a year.”
Lin Heng looked at Tian Yan and asked.
Tian Yan looked at Lin Heng with some surprise: "Your decision, or your father's decision?"
"Yes, I will pay for her to study." Lin Heng nodded. explain.
Tian Yan was a little surprised that Lin Heng actually paid attention to reading.
“There’s no problem with this. Even if there is, I know the junior high school teachers in the towns and villages. Just tell me.
But what I'm afraid of is that Caiyun has forgotten all her previous knowledge. So, let her take some time to come to my place and I will help her review it. "
Tian Yan is still very enthusiastic about this, and is still a teacher with dreams and responsibilities.
"Okay, I will tell her later. "Lin Heng nodded and left with half a bag of lime.
On the way back, Lin Heng saw his cousin Lin Hai.
"What are you doing here now? Wait for the students at noon. Go after school. I won't have time to talk to you during class. ”
Lin Heng looked at Lin Hai and said speechlessly.
“Brother, what shall I say then?” Lin Hai had dark circles on his face and was so excited that he didn’t even fall asleep last night.
Lin Heng shook his head and said: "Just go and say that you heard that she is very good at chess and want to play two games. That's it, and then do what I said today."
"Okay." Lin Hai nodded and turned back.
“Too young.” Lin Heng shook his head and walked back with quicklime.
