Chapter 359 Lin Heng’s Contribution
The van stopped under the door of Lin’s house. As soon as the door opened, Xiongba rushed in first.
Lin Heng held his young son and pulled Xiulan out of the car. The two of them walked towards home first, and would move the things later.
Some onlookers in the village saw them holding two children and asked curiously: "Why two children, Xiulan gave birth to twins?"
"Yes, they are twin boys." Lin Heng answered with a smile that not many people knew that Xiulan was pregnant with twins.
"Oh my God, these are two twin boys. Congratulations!"
"Yes, you don't have to hide from family planning. It's really a blessing from God."
Hearing Lin Heng's words A crowd of people gathered around to see the twins, but Lin Heng only let them see the face of one child before entering the house. The child was too young to be exposed to the cold wind outside.
Lin Heng entered the room and many people gathered around Father Lin and Mother Lin to chat. The twins were quite strange, and many people were also interested in what they had seen in the city.
“Aoao~”
In the yard, six little puppies saw someone coming in, and ran back and forth excitedly. They were chubby and happy.
“It’s grown so big.” Xiulan looked at the puppy and said in surprise.
“The puppies are so cute!” Xiaoxia rushed over and picked up two of them. The puppies, who were not afraid of animals at all, happily licked her hand. Their innocent look was endearing.
"It's been a month, I'm sure." Lin Heng said and opened the door, "Hurry up and come in, it's cold outside."
Everything familiar at home makes Xiulan feel at ease. , no matter how good the city is, it is not as practical as here.
Xiulan looked at the three new pieces of furniture placed in the main room and said in surprise: "Is this the crib and cradle made by dad? They are very beautiful."
Except for the cradle, which is made of bamboo, the others are all made of bamboo. Made of snow-white thorn cedar, it was painted with a light layer of varnish and had no unnecessary decoration.
"Yes." Lin Heng took two small quilts and spread them on the crib, and put his youngest son Lin Duheng in.
The crib is two meters long and one meter wide. It is separated by a grille in the middle. It is just right for the child to sleep in it.
Xiulan tried the cradle, and after shaking it twice, Lin Luming giggled.
"This cradle is easy to use." Xiulan was very satisfied.
"Look, I'm going to move things."
Hand the child over to Xiulan, Lin Heng goes out to help.
I moved back a lot of things, including a stroller for use in the city, and a lot of daily necessities. Finally, I bought beef and mutton, a new fireplace, and some other food.
After moving the things back, Lin Heng paid the freight, watched the van leave, and turned back to the house to prepare to burn charcoal for heating.
He had just taken out the charcoal and before lighting it, Liu Juan, the sister-in-law next door, quickly walked into the house with a large basin of charcoal and put it down.
"I knew you were coming back today. I was afraid that my two nephews would be frozen, so I burned them specially."
Liu Juan put down the fire and said with a smile.
"Also, if you want to use hot water, I have it at home. We are roasting wine today." She added.
“Thank you, sister-in-law, this pot of fire is so timely.” Xiulan said with a smile.
With a pot of fire, everyone can warm their hands and feet immediately, which makes them feel much more comfortable.
“You’re welcome for such small things, we are all a family.”
Liu Juan laughed, came over to look at her twin nephews, and said, “Come to my house for dinner later. I’ve already started making lunch.”
Lin Heng didn’t refuse. It would be too slow to start cooking after finishing the house. Everyone was a little hungry after eating early in the morning.
After the sister-in-law left, everyone was warming up by the fire while appraising the cradle and crib made by Father Lin.
These two things are very good in other aspects except that they are made of too solid materials and are a bit heavy.
Father Lin was also very happy to be praised by everyone. He spent a lot of effort making these three things.
After resting and warming up, everyone helped clean up the house. Lin Heng lit up the fireplace in the bedroom and moved the crib in.
The door to the main room is open. It is definitely not as warm as the closed bedroom. The temperature of the fireplace can reach about 20 degrees.
Xiulan was sorting daily necessities and clothes in the bedroom, while Lin Heng and Caiyun and others were tidying up other rooms and the yard.
Lin Heng went to the backyard to take a look. When he opened the door, he saw two blooming wintersweet trees, and a faint fragrance wafted out.
There is no ice on the surface of the fish pond, and the fish are hiding in the corners and basically not moving much.
In other respects, only calamus, orchid, black pine, cypress, and sugar orange trees are green, and the remaining plants are basically withered and turned yellow.
After simply tidying up, Lin Heng went to the back mountain to take a look. Kunkun, whom his elder brother had raised on his behalf, was very healthy.
Last year’s newborn baby cows were weaned long ago and sent to Hongfeng Mountain to be raised, and there is only one big cow left here.
After a while, the cows can be bred, so there is no rush now.
"Second brother, the eldest brother has called for dinner!"
Lin Heng was watching, and Caiyun shouted from the back door.
“Coming.”
Lin Heng agreed, turned around and walked back, carrying the child to his eldest brother’s house for lunch.
His eldest brother has made a lot of money since he learned how to shoot. Now his living conditions are much better, the food is much better than last year, and the food he cooks is better.
"We are happy today, we have to drink well. This is my latest rice wine, just scooped out of the wine vat." Lin Yue said with a smile.
"Just drink and be happy. Don't dare to get drunk, otherwise it will be difficult for Xiulan to take care of two children by herself in the middle of the night." Lin Heng said with a smile.
This yellow rice wine has a rich aroma, and he likes it without getting drunk.
"That's okay, you drink less, and dad and I drink more." Lin Yue poured the hot rice wine and said with a smile.
After almost eating and drinking, Lin Yue looked at Lin Heng with a smile: "Brother, your sister-in-law wants to ask if you have time recently. She can't wait to open a canteen."
Lin Heng said: "This Ah, just tidy up the house and install the shelves in the next two days. Just tell the wholesaler about the purchase and have someone come over to you.”
Speaking of which, it’s because Xiulan has given birth to a baby. Because of this, he even gave up on Wang Zhou's marriage, and asked his father to go over and give him a big gift.
Liu Juan smiled and said: "We have bought the wood. Just ask dad to help make the shelves in the next two days."
"That's fine. Just let me know when you finish it another day. " Lin Heng nodded.
After finishing the meal, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. The parents looked at their two grandchildren and then returned to Hongfeng Mountain. The cattle and sheep needed to be fed.
Caiyun was studying at Lin Heng’s house with her textbooks, while Xiaoxia was addicted to playing games with the six puppies. Among them, the two gray and white ones looked more and more like wolf cubs, with their special hair colors. resemblance.
Lin Heng helped Xiulan breastfeed the children. She had to feed the two children one by one.
“Why are you always staring!”
Xiulan blushed and looked at Lin Heng. She was embarrassed when he looked at something that was normal.
Lin Heng shook his head and sighed: "I was just amazed at the good shape and the white color. It is simply a masterpiece from heaven."
Xiulan blushed even more at that time and glared at him: "Wait a minute. You're dead after feeding the baby."
"What's wrong, I'm not allowed to praise you anymore," Lin Heng said with a bad smile.
Xiulan stared at him, her cheeks bulging. After feeding her son Lin Luming, she put her son in the cradle and prepared to go over and give Lin Heng a good beating. Lin Heng quickly handed over Lin Duheng, who was crying for food: "Feed your little son quickly, he will cry from hunger."
The youngest son has been hungry for a long time. When he sees his mother, he rushes towards her, wanting to cuddle and feed her.
"If you only know how to make fun of me, you should starve your son." Xiulan snorted angrily.
"I'm not making fun of you. This is a compliment. It's really beautiful." Lin Heng said with a smile.
Xiulan gritted her teeth: "Besides, your son is really hungry!"
Lin Heng smiled and spread his hands: "You are hungry, as if you are not talking about your son."
"Wow wow wow~"
Before Xiulan could speak, the child in her arms started crying from hunger, with a high-pitched voice.
"Just wait." Xiulan glared at Lin Heng and began to feed the child.
Lin Heng got up and poured a glass of water for Xiulan, teasing Lin Luming in the cradle.
After feeding the third child and putting him in the cradle, Xiulan didn't even drink the water, so he came over and gave Lin Heng a good meal to relieve his anger.
She was about to leave but Lin Heng hugged her and sat on his lap: "After the beating, do you still want to run?"
As he said this, he buried himself in her chest and sucked hard, praising her. Said: "It smells so good."
Xiulan suddenly panicked: "What are you doing? I'm still in confinement, and it's such a broad daylight..."
She knew that Lin Heng had been holding it in for the past two months without releasing it, and she was afraid that he would do anything wrong, so she quickly added: "It's really... If it doesn't work, I will use other methods at night..."
"You think too much, I'll tease you, and I'll wait a month before talking again." Lin Heng said with a smile.
"Ah!"
Xiulan's eyes widened with fear.
If he was allowed to hold it in for two months, it would be such a huge explosion that she would never be able to bear it.
However, Lin Heng ignored her, picked her up, put her on the bed, and went out by himself.
Coming out of the main room, he assembled the fireplace he bought, measured the diameter of the chimney, sawed a hole of the same diameter in the floor slab next to the wall, and connected the entire chimney to the roof.
I originally wanted to do it from the side, but a hole coming from the main room is not suitable. It will look ugly from the front of the house.
So he could only get out through the hole in the roof. He spent the whole afternoon working on this.
After Xiulan fed the children, she put them in the crib and let them crawl by themselves. She was not allowed to sleep, so as not to be unable to sleep at night.
At first, the child would cry as soon as he left his mother's arms. If he followed him, he would not be able to leave his hands.
Having the patience to put it in the crib, and after trying it a few times to form a habit, it will be much easier to carry the child later.
Moreover, it is beneficial for children to crawl and exercise more by themselves, and they can also learn to walk earlier.
Although she is still in confinement, she has recovered very well and can do some normal things without any problem.
She felt that the reason why she could recover so quickly was mainly due to Lin Heng. He used to take her to exercise in the morning to build up a strong body.
I also ate very well during pregnancy and confinement, and I never stopped taking various supplements.
This two-pronged approach made her postpartum recovery much better than that of ordinary pregnant women, because most of the belly that grew during pregnancy shrank.
The rest will take time and take your time, and require consistent exercise.
While Lin Heng was working on the chimney, she also opened the freezer and took back some of the previously frozen braised pork, roe deer meat and fresh shrimps.
She hadn’t cooked for Lin Heng for a long time and was going to make a sumptuous dinner.
In the evening, Lin Heng installed the chimney, and she also prepared the meal, and asked Caiyun to call her parents over to have dinner together.
At the dinner table, Lin Heng took a bite of the food and said with a smile: "It's been a long time since I've eaten it, but it's still as delicious as ever."
"I feel like Xiulan's cooking skills have improved again." Lin's mother also commented.
“I especially like the vinegar whistle made by sister-in-law Xiulan.” Caiyun also nodded.
"No, I feel that my craftsmanship has deteriorated." Xiulan said modestly, feeling very happy.
Lin Heng was eating the coriander roe deer meat made by Xiulan, and felt that this was the taste of roe deer meat, and it tasted better than beef.
The fresh prawns and over-cooked bear ribs are also very delicious, removing the fishy smell and retaining the meaty aroma. With the addition of chestnuts, winter melon, yam and lotus root, it tastes much better than what Lin Mu made before.
Lin Heng buried his head in eating and asked: "By the way, dad, does the bear oil you brew have any effect?"
"Yes, it has some effects. The best effect is to use it to wipe cracks." Father Lin replied.
Cracks are cracks in the skin.
Mother Lin also said: "But it's very good for stir-frying meat. It's more fragrant than lard for stir-frying."
"Then I'll make some and eat it tomorrow." Lin Heng scooped it up He said over a bowl of rice.
There are two pieces of bear suet in the freezer, and there is also a lot of bear meat that also contains a lot of fat. It is just used for basting and will last for many years.
"You can put it into small bottles and sell it. I think there should be a lot of people buying it." Father Lin said.
“Let’s eat some.” Lin Heng said that he was more accustomed to eating this kind of good stuff by himself rather than selling it.
After dinner, they packed up their things and then rested. They placed the crib next to their bed next to Xiaoxia's crib. It was also very convenient for changing diapers at night.
The next morning, Xiulan pulled Lin Heng up early to exercise.
After the exercise, I went to milk the cows again and felt the joy of being free without bad children.
For breakfast, the family drank fresh milk again after half a month. In addition to eggs and milk, there was also braised roe deer liver and heart.
After eating, Xiulan and Caiyun worked together to deal with the black bear internal organs and bear suet that had been defrosted last night.
She prepared braised vegetables and boiled oil today, which was not a heavy task. She was very keen on making delicious food for her family.
"Husband, do you still want to eat braised roe deer meat and bear meat?" Xiulan looked up at Lin Heng who was tinkering with the fireplace and asked.
Lin Heng nodded and said: "Eat, the braised fish is delicious. You should also braise the dried fish that your parents brought here. If you don't eat it, it will go bad."
"Okay." Xiulan nodded. promise.
After Lin Heng installed the fireplace, he immediately tried it. He added wood and lit it, then closed the door. The fire was burning brightly, and it was considered a success if no smoke came out.
The door of this fireplace is made of iron, with only one fire hole. The top is square, and the iron lid in the middle can be opened to boil water for cooking. It is more practical than the one in the bedroom.
The fireplace heats up the entire house much faster than a carbon fire, and there is no need to worry about gas poisoning.
After finishing it, the two sons can be brought into the main room instead of keeping them in the bedroom.
After the fireplace was installed, Lin Hengyou took out the leather door curtain he bought and prepared to install it. This can isolate the cold air.
After all, the door cannot be closed all the time. This kind of transparent leather door curtain is very useful. It does not block the view very much and can block most of the cold wind and keep the room warm.
Lin Heng was nailing the door curtain when Tian Yan knocked on the door and walked in, bringing two pieces of news that surprised Lin Heng.
