Chapter 497: Finding Bonsai Tree Stumps, Strong Eyesight
After dinner, Lin Heng went home after cleaning up the dishes and sending his parents out.
Although he was very filial to his parents, he did not want to live in the same house with them every day, because their living habits were very different and neither of them would feel comfortable.
Even if a new big house was built in the future, he did not want to live with his parents.
Filial piety does not mean that they have to live together, these are different concepts.
Lin Heng closed the door and came back. The children were already washing their faces and hands by themselves.
Lin Heng taught them the ten-finger hand-washing method, and after practicing for a while, they could wash their hands very cleanly.
The principle is still the same. If you let him wash by himself at the beginning, he will definitely not be able to wash it clean, but don't help him because of this. Let him practice a few more times and he will learn it.
Children have a strong learning ability. Many people just want to start simply, dislike the children for making water everywhere, and wash it by themselves.
Later, they will wash it by themselves all the time.
When Lin Heng saw that they could do it by themselves, he began to teach them.
After washing, everyone went to the study together. Now there is no fireplace here, and the temperature has gradually warmed up.
Since the children had played for a long time on the mountain today and were very sleepy, Lin Heng told them two stories and they fell asleep.
"Xiu Lan!"
Lin Heng looked at Xiu Lan who was tidying up the quilt, threw her on the bed, rolled over a few times and lay on her and looked at her.
"I'm so annoyed with you, I'm making the quilt."
Xiu Lan pinched his face and said unhappily.
"I'm happy." Lin Heng smiled.
"Are you happy to go to Sanchagou or something?" Xiu Lan stared at him.
Lin Heng came up to her and smiled, "This is just one of the reasons. I'm happy that spring is here, so I can go outing and see my wife wearing a skirt and suspenders. I look forward to spring every year."
Xiu Lan blushed. She did wear those revealing clothes in summer for Lin Heng to see, but she was still a little shy when Lin Heng said it, but she was also looking forward to the warmer weather in her heart.
She pushed Lin Heng's shoulder and blushed: "Stop talking, get up quickly, I can't breathe, I'm tired of you."
Lin Heng found her like this more and more interesting, and teased with a smile: "Before you said..."
The next moment, he was covered by Xiulan's mouth, and then grabbed his hand and turned it over, and beat him up.
"Lin Heng, if you do this again, I will be angry, and beat you to the ground!" Xiulan warned fiercely.
"I was wrong, I won't say it, wife." Lin Heng smiled, he knew that Xiulan was not really angry, but was just ashamed to talk about these things.
Just like when doing those things, she looked comfortable, but she didn't say anything when he asked explicit questions, and she would get angry.
Only when she couldn't control herself, or when she really missed him after he went up the mountain for a while, would she make a loud noise and respond to some of his ridiculous words.
"Get up if you are wrong, I'm tidying up the quilt."
Xiulan pulled her up and said.
"Okay." Lin Heng nodded repeatedly and stood up to help Xiulan with the quilt.
They took the winter quilt and put the quilt cover aside, and took out the slightly thinner quilt used in spring and autumn.
After putting a sky blue printed quilt cover on it, Xiulan threaded the needle and threaded it and lay on the bed to sew the quilt cover. If it was not fixed, the quilt cover would easily be misaligned with the quilt.
Lin Heng looked at his virtuous wife with love in his heart, and helped to sew the quilt cover. He looked at Xiulan who was bending over to tidy up the quilt and came forward to hug her willow-like waist again, and turned off the lights.
In a blink of an eye, it was the next morning. After waking up, Xiulan glanced at Lin Heng who was still sleeping, and wanted to punish him, because there was still some taste in her mouth.
She puffed her cheeks, sat up, and stretched out her hair that was tied up last night, and it fell to her waist like a curtain of waterfall.
After fixing her hair, she stood up and went to wash.
Lin Heng reached out and found that Xiulan had gotten up, so he got up quickly.
He went out to the bathroom first. Seeing Xiulan brushing her teeth seriously, he didn't say a word. He got the advantage and was beaten. He didn't want his future happiness to disappear.
However, he was still very good at teasing his wife, but he wouldn't go too far.
After exercising, he came to wash his face. Xiulan was already exercising next to him.
"Wash my hair later, and then you can go find your precious golden bullet." Xiulan looked at him and said unceremoniously.
She obeyed his request so much last night. Now if Lin Heng dared to say no, she would beat him up even if she had no temper.
"Of course, no problem. I will boil Polygonum multiflorum for you to wash." Lin Heng quickly agreed.
Xiulan raised her chin slightly, very satisfied with Lin Heng's answer. It was also a pleasure for her to command her little man to do things.
After taking a bath, Lin Heng started his own exercise. Xiulan next to him finished Tai Chi several times and did some stretching and waist and abdomen exercises.
She didn't want her figure to be out of shape. She not only actively exercised, but also used the skin care products bought by Lin Heng, took various supplements from time to time, and tried to read books to supplement herself. She wanted to always occupy Lin Heng's love and follow his footsteps.
Lin Heng exercised very quickly. After the regular exercise, he did several sets of crunches, and then showed off his abdominal muscles to Xiulan. His muscles were a combination of hard work and exercise.
Xiulan rolled her eyes and urged him to work quickly. Lin Heng smiled and went into the house to boil some Polygonum multiflorum that he had prepared before.
After the water was boiled, Lin Heng slowly washed Xiulan's hair. His technique had improved after many times, and now Xiulan enjoyed his skills.
"Be careful when you go into the mountains, and come back early."
Xiulan said after drying her hair.
"I will." Lin Heng nodded.
He took the things he had prepared long ago and went to his eldest brother's house.
Li Shiwei and Li Shilei had already arrived and were eating at Lin Yue's place.
"Shiwei, Brother Lei." Lin Heng saw the two of them and greeted them with a smile. Li Shilei was one year older than him and younger than his brother Lin Yue.
"Brother Lin, come and eat quickly, and then we'll set off." Li Shiwei took care of him.
"Lin... Heng, is it okay if I don't go to the pig farm?" Li Shilei looked at Lin Heng and said, he didn't know how to call Lin Heng for a moment.
"It's okay, that Zhang Feng came early, I have asked him to go there to watch." Lin Heng waved his hand and said.
Zhang Feng was very active, and he came the day before yesterday for fear of losing his job. He got him some rice and flour, and arranged for him to look after the place and do some of the work he asked him to do.
It would take some time for the piglets to arrive, and now he had time to dig for gold bullets.
"That's fine." Li Shilei nodded, and then said, "Lin Heng, then you should eat quickly."
"I can eat while walking, let's go." Lin Heng nodded.
This time, there were only four young people going into the mountains, and they planned to go back and forth within three days.
"Then let's go now." Lin Yue said.
Lin Heng took the food, carried a backpack and bow and arrow, and walked towards Sanchagou with Xiongba.
Li Shiwei and Li Shilei only took a small amount of food, a medicine hoe and a hatchet.
This time, it was not mainly hunting, but they went to dig piles and came back.
The four of them walked very fast, and arrived at Sanchagou at around 1 pm, and arrived at the place where they hunted antelopes at 5:30 pm.
Along the way, everyone was chatting happily. Not only were they of the same generation, but they were also childhood friends, so they had endless topics to talk about.
At the same time, because there was no snow now, and they were all young people who had been running in the mountains all year round, they were also traveling very fast.
"This place is good. Let's go and have a look now. Maybe there are deer or something." Li Shiwei said in surprise.
"Look over there, there is a tall yam." Li Shilei pointed to a place on the hillside and said.
Everyone looked up, but they didn't see the yam for a long time. When they got closer, they found that it was really a big yam vine.
"Your eyes are still as good as ever." Lin Heng smiled. When he was a child, Li Shilei was very good at finding medicinal materials when he went up the mountain to dig yellow ginger. His eyes were particularly good.
"That's the only skill I have." Li Shilei smiled.
He now regretted playing with his friends at the beginning. He didn't learn any skills, and in the end it was all in vain.
"Let's go dig tomorrow. Let's go and see if there are any prey first." Lin Heng said after taking a look at the yam vine.

He took out the bow and arrow, and Li Shilei showed curiosity. This was the first time he had seen such a beautiful compound bow.
Several people nodded, slowed down, and dispersed to look for prey.
"Lin Heng, pheasant!"
Soon, Li Shilei came over and pulled Lin Heng and said.
Lin Heng went over with him to take a look, and indeed found one, and admired Li Shilei's eyesight again.
He didn't say anything, took an arrow and shot it with a bow. With a whoosh, the pheasant fell to the ground and couldn't get up.
"Awesome!"
Li Shilei widened his eyes and gave Lin Heng a thumbs up. He admired Lin Heng's accuracy of the bow and arrow.
Lin Heng smiled slightly. For him, this distance didn't need to aim at all.
After shooting this pheasant, they continued to move forward, but failed to find other prey.
Soon they came to the front of the cave, and Lin Heng boasted: "Look, this is the shelter I built."
"This place is good, just like a real house." Li Shiwei was surprised.
"If I had found such a place when I was a child, I would have been so happy." Li Shilei laughed.
"Today I can also experience the feeling of childhood." Lin Heng smiled.
One of their dreams when they were young was to have a shelter built by themselves.
"Yes, I can experience it today." Lin Yue also nodded.
Everyone walked in to take a look, and then went to pick up some firewood nearby to make a fire.
Leaving the fire and cooking to the two brothers Li Shilei, Lin Heng and his eldest brother went out hunting to see if they could find other prey.
But bad luck, this good place should have a lot of prey, but Lin Heng didn't find any prey until dark, and his eldest brother only shot a golden rooster.
"Maybe we scared the prey here when we hunted antelope before." Lin Yue shook his head helplessly.
"Maybe." Lin Heng nodded, but he was mainly here to dig for the gold bullets, so he was not very sad.
When they returned to the cave, Li Shilei and the others had already boiled the water. When they saw them coming back, they cooked noodles and ate pickled cabbage noodles in the evening.
The pheasants and golden chickens were all cleaned, and the internal organs were given to Xiongba.
The next morning, they got up at dawn to look for prey. This time, Lin Heng and his eldest brother did not get any.
Li Shilei was okay. He and his younger brother Li Shiwei dug a big yam, which weighed six or seven pounds.
"Let's go and dig for gold bullets first." Lin Heng said with a smile.
"Okay, I just saw one too." Li Shilei said.
"I'll go and see." Lin Heng said, and followed him over.
Soon he gave up on this one. He came so far to dig up the best, not the common stuff.
Then he took them to dig up the two golden bullets he saw last year, as well as the pine and pyracantha.
After a simple repair, Lin Heng piled them up.
Then they searched in the forest again, but this thing was hard to come by, and there was no harvest.
Lin Heng didn't find it, so he went hunting again. He heard the call of the golden rooster, and at dusk he went up and shot two golden roosters.
Lin Yue came over and met Lin Heng and said, "I was lucky too, I shot two too."
"Then let's go back. I guess there's no hope of finding it again." Lin Heng said.
"Well, go back." Lin Yue nodded.
The two walked back while talking, and they were also preparing to roast a golden rooster tonight.
Seeing Lin Heng coming back, Li Shiwei took out a Pyracantha tree like offering a treasure and said, "Brother Lin, what do you think of this Pyracantha my brother found?"
Lin Heng looked up and was immediately surprised: "Okay, this is very good, it can become a bonsai with a little processing."
The trunk of this Pyracantha is three centimeters thick, but it is very short, only thirty or forty centimeters, and then it hangs down, as if it grows near water.
This kind of pile material only needs to be slightly suspended and trimmed to become a natural bonsai.
"I found it in a crack in a rock, and I smashed the end to dig it out." Li Shilei said with a smile.
"I'll give you twenty yuan when I go back, and I'll buy this thing." Lin Heng said with a smile.
Li Shilei waved his hands repeatedly and said, "This is not necessary, it's just a rotten tree, it's useless for me to hold it, I'll give it to you, brother."
"Don't say that, I'll give you money if I say so, if you can find a good one in the future, I'll pay according to the appearance." Lin Heng said firmly.
"Thank you, brother." Li Shilei had to say this, and he couldn't help feeling happy and more motivated.
After putting the tree away, Lin Heng sat next to the fire. It was still very cold in the deep mountains, and it was not much different from winter here.
At night, they still ate below. This was the easiest in the wild, and pickled cabbage could be stored for a long time without going bad.
But tonight, they also roasted a golden chicken. The four of them ate very happily and talked about their childhood.
It was a pity that the cave was too far away, otherwise it would really be built into a shelter.
Everyone chatted until late at night before falling asleep. When it got light, it was time to go home.
After breakfast, Lin Heng took a look and took everyone away. There were not many piles of wood, and each person could take one.
After taking the things, they walked back along the original path. However, not long after walking, everyone stopped collectively and looked in the same direction. (End of this chapter)
