Chapter 310 Talking about the new matchmaking plan
Lin Heng noticed that Wang Zhou and his father were still not sitting down, so he smiled and reminded again: "Wang Zhou and Uncle Wang, sit down quickly, you must not have had breakfast. , let’s eat some together.”
“Oh!” Wang Zhou replied first. After coming to his senses, he put the gift he brought on the side of the coffee table and sat down with a smile, "Brother Lin, this is a little thought of mine."
Wang Houhai also sat down, and the soft sofa made only The two people who had sat on a hard bench were shocked that the bench they were sitting on could be so comfortable.
Lin Heng smiled and put the milk in front of the two of them: "You are already here, what else do you bring, you are so polite!"
Wang Houhai said quickly: "This is a little thought. Without your promotion, Boss Lin, Wang Zhou would not be where he is now."
Before coming, he thought his son's gifts were too heavy and said he would get some rice and noodles. That's enough. Now I just feel like I can't handle the sugar and Erguotou.
Lin Heng waved his hand, handed over some cantaloupe and said: "Let's not be polite, let's talk while eating, it just so happens that we didn't eat either."
"Okay, Brother Lin." Wang Zhou knew that Lin Heng didn't like to be too polite, so he took it over with a smile and started eating.
Seeing his son eating, Wang Houhai also picked up the melon and ate it, drank another glass of milk, and finally tasted the cicada monkey at Lin Heng’s recommendation.
For a moment, Wang Houhai was speechless with satisfaction. This was definitely the best breakfast he had eaten this year.
The Lin family's house was also in great shape, even better than the brick houses he had seen in town. He quietly looked at Lin Heng, wondering how such a young man could be so powerful.
After breakfast, Caiyun took Xiaoxia to the study. Lin Heng looked at the two of them and said, "You are here today to propose marriage, right?"
Wang Houhai nodded: "Yes. Yes, Wang Zhou is old enough and it’s time to get married. The best day for us is tomorrow.”
“Well, you guys wait here and I’ll go find the village party secretary to discuss it.”
Lin Heng nodded. In this era, it was normal to get married at the age of fifteen. Wang Zhou was older than him and had not yet gotten married, so he should be anxious.
"That would be troublesome." Wang Houhai said with a smile.
Lin Heng stood up and walked out. In fact, he could do the kissing himself, but if it was too troublesome, he left it to Tian Dongfu.
After Lin Heng left, Wang Houhai went to the toilet with his son. On the way, he whispered: "What is that bench for sitting on? It is so soft. It is so comfortable to sit on."
Wang Zhou smiled and explained: "That's called a sofa. I heard it's something from the city. It should be made of sponge."
"No wonder." Wang Houhai took a deep breath, thinking that it's good to be rich, and he has two dogs.
The layout of the backyard surprised him even more. There were so many flowers and plants and a fish pond.
"If you want me to see it, all fruits and vegetables should be planted." Wang Houhai muttered in a low voice. He thought it looked good, but it was a waste of space.
“Dad, this is called leisure and leisure.” Wang Zhou shook his head helplessly.
They came back from using the bathroom and sat down on the sofa in the main room. Xiulan had already cleaned the coffee table and poured them two cups of tea.
After waiting for a while, Lin Heng came with the village party secretary Tian Dongfu.
After the few people got to know each other, they discussed many details about the marriage proposal.
Tian Dongfu has already told the Liu family about this matter before, and they don’t have any objections. Just send a letter today to prepare for tomorrow.
After the negotiation, Lin Heng left a few people here to have lunch. He told Wang Zhou that the matchmaker had sympathy because he saw how miserable he was in his previous life, and could not bear to see an honest man like him being raped. Bad women ruin everything.
Also, I want to keep it and use it. If I need reliable manpower in the future, or if I do something shady, I can go to him.
This kind of person who knows the basics and is honest is the most comfortable to use. Just by finding him a job and finding a wife, Wang Zhou would be determined to let him use it for the rest of his life.
But, he was just talking, there would be no such thing. It has been 40 years since he was reborn. There are too many opportunities. He can become a rich man slowly and steadily without any dirty capital accumulation.
After the matter was finished, while chatting, Tian Dongfu smiled and asked: "Lin Heng, did you make the sofa by yourself?"
"Yes, I bought the sponge myself and the frame was made by my dad. ." Lin Heng nodded.
Tian Dongfu smiled and nodded: "Okay, it's really comfortable to sit up."
Lin Heng smiled: "When my dad masters his skills later, I will ask him to make one for you."
Tian Dongfu waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, I still like wooden chairs."
After a few words, he chatted with Lin Heng about the construction and development of the village.
Tian Dongfu patted Lin Heng on the shoulder and said: "Next year I would like to recommend people in the village to buy corn seeds and rice seeds for planting. Now the whole village has come to see your corn. It is so gratifying."
Lin Heng nodded: "This is okay, but if we don't use chemical fertilizers, the effect will not be as good as mine, but the yield will definitely be higher than that of local seeds."
Whenever he goes out these days, people will ask him about corn seeds. Before they were planted, everyone didn't believe them. But now they compare them with reality and they are all excited.
The oversized corn ears of that variety of corn made everyone in the village drool. After learning about it from Lin Heng, they all wanted to buy the seeds.
Tian Dongfu nodded and said, "Let's do it step by step. I'll see if the situation can be subsidized by the superiors."
"That's fine." Lin Heng nodded.
After a few words, Tian Dongfu talked about Lin Heng's breeding again and started talking with him.
He wants to lead the whole village to make a fortune, and talking about these things is very popular.
Lin Heng also wanted to make a fortune, so he came up with the idea of setting up a cooperative led by village cadres to lead the villagers to grow cash crops such as herbs.
He can provide money to help, but naturally he has to occupy the majority of the shares.
The original intention of doing this was still based on his previous idea, which was to make Chinese medicinal materials available in the village. After a few years, when the market economy came and prices rose sharply, he would make a lot of money.
I used to think of doing it alone, but now I want to bring a group of people together. Although some of the benefits are shared, the same safety is guaranteed. Everyone will not let others do it for their own benefit. To do damage.
If you monopolize interests, you are everyone's enemy. If you divide some of them, you will be their father, and you will do everything possible to maintain this community of interests.
Tian Dongfu was very interested in this and felt that this model was indeed feasible and said that he would wait until he went back to study it.
Lunch will be ready soon. Lin Heng is naturally not stingy when guests come. He kills a duck and cooks half of it, leaving the remaining half for Xiulan to make soup.
A hearty meal made everyone happy. After they were full, Wang Houhai and his son left first and went back to prepare things.
When Tian Dongfu also left, Lin Heng asked Xiulan to sit down and rest, and then went to clean up the dishes.
Caiyun asked curiously: "Second brother, the daughter-in-law Wang Zhou mentioned is Liu Ciwen and her sister introduced you?"
"Yes, I introduced her." Lin Heng nodded.
“Oh.” Caiyun nodded and stopped talking.
After a while, Mother Lin came over and took her to catch scorpions. Lin Heng asked her to take the fine dog Fengsheng with her. It's safer this way. It's a bit dangerous for two women to run around at night.
The crime rate in this era is quite high, so we have to guard against it.
He usually leaves a dog at home. If Xiulan Xiaoxia goes out to play, he will also ask Xiongba to follow him. The main thing is to nip problems in the bud.
Having a simple meal in the evening, they coaxed Xiaoxia to sleep, and the two of them did some things they loved to do to enhance their relationship with each other.
Early the next morning, after they had breakfast, Wang Zhou and his father came up with their things and asked Tian Dongfu to go to Liu Cihua's house with them.
The negotiation process went smoothly. The bride price was one hundred yuan, and the return gift was fifty yuan plus some desks and other furniture. In total, the return gift was nearly one hundred yuan.
As for the wedding date, which is initially set at the end of the year, we need to further discuss when exactly it will be.
Lin Heng went home at noon. Xiulan saw him coming back and asked with a smile: "Is the matter settled?"
"Yes, this is not a difficult marriage in the first place." Lin Heng smiled Said.
"That's good." Xiulan nodded and asked, "Then let's go to the cabin on the mountain tomorrow?"
"It's okay, what do you think?" Lin Heng looked at it asked her.
Xiulan smiled slightly, leaned on the sofa and said, "I want to stay here for two more days, the sofa is so comfortable."
"Then stay here and go to the mountain in a few days." Lin Heng nodded with a smile.
Xiulan said again: "Have you eaten yet? If not, I will cook it for you. We have already eaten." "I ate too, at Liu's house." Lin Heng nodded.
Xiulan nodded, pointed to some clothes she had packed and said, "I'm going to do laundry, please come with me."
"No problem, I just happened to go catch crabs, and I haven’t eaten them for a long time." Lin Heng agreed.
The river crabs wrapped in flour and deep-fried are also very fragrant. I want to eat them again this year. The crabs that have become half full in the summer should be very good.
Taking Xiaoxia and Xiongba with them, the three of them walked towards the river together.
"Second father, I will go too, I am very good at catching crabs!"
Lin Wei knew that Lin Heng was going to catch crabs, so he clamored to join him.
"No problem, let's go." Lin Heng said with a smile.
Lin Wei went home, told his mother, and ran away with Lin Heng, along with his younger brother Lin Tao.
Arrived at the Shiban River, Lin Heng first helped Xiulan wash her clothes.
Lin Wei and Lin Tao have already gone down to the river to catch crabs.
Lin Heng helped Xiulan wash two pieces of clothes and put them on the bushes to dry.
After washing the clothes, Xiulan took Xiaoxia to play in the sand by the river. Lin Heng went to catch crabs.
Seeing Lin Heng coming over, Lin Wei pointed into the bucket and showed off: "Second dad, we have caught eleven, isn't it awesome."
"Awesome!" Lin Heng gave a thumbs up and praised.
Efficiency will be faster after he comes on the court. He can easily overturn many large rocks that children cannot move, as well as the big crabs with yellow pliers hidden underneath. Escape.
“Too many, the second dad is so awesome!”
“Awesome, this one is so big!”
Along with bursts of laughter, almost all the crabs have been caught.
Looking at the harvest in the bucket, Lin Heng said: "Let's go back and eat crabs. The sun is too strong."
"Okay, no problem."
"Eating crabs!"
Lin Wei and Lin Tao were very happy, because frying crabs requires oil, and his mother usually doesn't allow it.
Only the second father can make these weird foods, and both of them like to play with Lin Heng very much.
On Xiulan's side, her clothes had been dried and put away, and she was squatting in the shade of the tree, waiting for Lin Heng.
“It’s two or three kilograms, not bad, right?” Lin Heng came to Xiulan with a bucket.
Xiulan looked at the crab and affirmed: "Awesome."
Packed up things and walked back. The rice had begun to ear now, and it was green. Lin Heng found a lot of locusts. He suddenly thought: "Let's catch two locusts and try frying them."
He had always heard that this thing could be eaten, but he had never tried it.
"Second Dad, can you eat this too?" Lin Wei looked shocked. He only knew that cats and chickens like to eat this food.
Xiulan persuaded: "Don't, this will definitely not taste good."
The claws and fangs looked very scary.
“I’ll just grab a few and try them myself.” Lin Heng said with a smile.
"Okay." Xiulan had no choice but to agree.
Lin Wei and Lin Tao helped, and the three of them caught more than a dozen locusts on the edge of the rice field.
When I got home, I found a brush to clean the crabs briefly, then chopped them vertically with a knife and put them into the mixed batter basin.
Heat oil in the pot and Xiulan helped with the frying. Lin Heng killed his locusts with salt water and drained the water.
When the crabs were fried, Lin Heng threw the locusts in.
After a few stings, the locusts became golden and crispy, and a rich fragrance was conveyed.
Xiulan was a little surprised that it was so fragrant after deep-frying.
Lin Heng picked up the locusts and brought them to the dining hall together with the crabs. Lin Wei, Xiaoxia and others couldn't wait to eat.
“It’s so fragrant!”
“It’s delicious!!”
In addition to the exclamation sound, it is the crunching sound of eating crabs. River crabs can be eaten with the shell. Children can also supplement calcium by eating them.
Xiulan also took one and put it in her mouth to eat, but no one tried the golden locust.
“Let me try.”
Lin Heng picked up one, looked at it, put it in his mouth, and then showed a shocked look on his face: “This one is more delicious than the cicada monkey. !”
Xiulan looked at him with doubt: “You can’t lie to me, right?”
"Really, if you don't believe me, you are optimistic about it." Lin Heng said, picking up one and feeding it to Xiaoxia.
“It’s delicious(`)”
Xiaoxia ate her food with a look of wanting more.
Lin Wei and Lin Tao also tried it, showing surprise: "Second Mom, it's really delicious."
Lin Heng fed her one, Xiulan hesitated and opened her mouth red Lips, eat in.
Then his big eyes showed a hint of brightness: "These locusts are not bad at all."
"Because they are fried like this." Lin Heng said with a smile.
While joking, several people ate fried river crabs. In the end, they finished half of them and couldn’t finish them. They caught a lot today.
But when Caiyun and Tian Yan came over soon, Xiulan smiled and waved to them: "Come on, there are fried crabs."
"Ah, then we are in for a treat. "The two walked into the house smiling.
Seeing the three of them chatting, Lin Heng told Xiulan and went to Hongfeng Mountain to ask his father about the good day.
"The day after tomorrow, July 28th." Father Lin looked at Lin Heng and said.
Lin Heng nodded: "Okay, I'll go tell my third father and see if they are free."
The construction of small dams should also be put on the agenda.
After a trip to his third father’s house, Lin Heng got a positive answer and made an appointment to start work the day after tomorrow.
When he left, his third mother, Li Xue, brought him a bag of plums and was very enthusiastic.
Carrying the plums and walking back, I met my eldest brother Lin Yue as soon as I arrived at the door of my house.
"Brother, have you forgotten something big?"
Lin Yue looked at him and said.
