Era: Started from raising livestock in the mountains

Lin Heng walked into the field, and his elder brother was still plowing the field.

"Do you want to try?" Lin Yue asked.

"Sure." Lin Heng walked over with a smile.

Lin Yue stopped the ox and handed it to Lin Heng.

Lin Heng took it and looked at it first. This old-fashioned plow was very complicated.

The person held a wooden plow frame with a plowshare on it, a triangular iron tool used to break the soil; the plow head was used to connect the ox, and the person held the plow handle to control the direction of the plow and the ox.

There are two sets of ropes to connect the ox. The plow head uses two brown ropes with a thickness of two fingers connected to a V-shaped wooden yoke. The yoke is placed on the back of the ox's neck. The ox can be driven to pull the plow forward.

There are two scissor ropes on the plow handle, which are connected to the nose ring on the ox's nose from the left and right sides of the ox.

Pulling the scissor rope can control the ox's left and right direction or turn its head.

"Chi, go!!"

Lin Heng held the plow handle and shouted, and the big yellow ox in front slowly walked.

The plowshare went into the soil and turned up the soil. Lin Heng only needed to control the direction to complete the turning of the soil.

In the ancient times when there were no machines, what a great invention this was.

"Bend!!"

When he reached the end, Lin Heng hurriedly pulled the left rope to turn the ox back, and he also lifted the plow and turned it around.

The power of the ox was strong enough. People couldn't dig one acre of land in a day, but the ox could easily plow five acres of land a day, and it was no problem to plow seven or eight acres of land if they were tired.

"Chi, go!"

The ox walked faster with a whip from time to time.

In two hours, the remaining land was plowed. The big yellow ox stopped, its hair was wet with sweat, and it stretched its neck to eat grass leaves on the roadside.

"Let the ox rest after plowing the land here, and then go to plow your land on the other side of Hongfeng Mountain."

Lin's father came over and untied the yoke and the rope, and pulled the ox to the side to rest and eat grass.

"I don't need to plow over there, I don't plant anymore, just pull the ox home directly." Lin Heng shook his head and said.

Father Lin turned his head and looked at him: "You don't want to farm, right?"

"Xiu Lan and I have discussed it. I will ask someone to dig the two acres of land into fish ponds and shrimp ponds in early August of the solar calendar, and raise fish and shrimp next year." Lin Heng looked at his father and said.

Father Lin glanced at him and didn't care: "Anyway, you are already living alone, just make your decision.

I have done everything I should do for you, married you and built a house for you.

How you live in the future depends on you. It's your ability to make money, and you have to bear the loss yourself."

After that, Father Lin asked again: "Are you sure you don't want to plow? Then I'll take the cow back to feed it now."

"Sure." Lin Heng nodded.

"Okay." Father Lin came over to pack up the plow, coiled the rope, and took off all the accessories.

"Brother, are you really going to raise fish and shrimp? Is it reliable?" Lin Yue came over and asked with concern.

"There is no problem raising them in flowing water, just like raising them directly in the river." Lin Heng said with a smile, of course it is different, this is just to comfort his family. "Well, it seems that you are determined to make a lot of money." Lin Yue patted his shoulder and sighed. He still admired Lin Heng for daring to make trouble. His three sons had four mouths to feed every day when they woke up, and they dared not to make trouble at all. Lin Heng smiled and said, "Yes, farming has no future. I am still young. If I lose, I will make more money." "Just tell me if you need my help. There is no need to be polite." Lin Yue said again. "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely find you if I need it." Lin Heng understood his eldest brother's difficulties. Who dared to make trouble among his three sons? But it doesn't matter. He is here to take his eldest brother flying when he gets up. "By the way, do you still go to catch eels at night?" Lin Heng asked again. Because he has been busy, he has only caught eels once this year. Lin Yue shook his head: "Now we can't catch them. After the seedlings grow up, we can't catch them in the fields. We can only go to the river, but it's not easy to catch them either."

"Is that so? Let's plant some corn and take Dad to the mountains to hunt in a few days. There's not much farm work recently."

"Okay, I also want to try my luck in the mountains." Lin Yue nodded.

"Dad, are you going?" Lin Heng asked loudly again.

"It depends on the situation. I'll go when I have time." Father Lin said as he walked, pulling the cow.

Lin Heng helplessly: "Okay."

"Come back and move the wheat later. You and your eldest brother will each carry 700 kilograms. Next year, you will plant and harvest the wheat yourself."

Father Lin carried the plow and led the cow for a long distance, and the voice came back again.

Lin Heng looked at his father's back. This man said that he didn't care and it was none of his business. What he was doing was all about this family.

Lin Heng turned around to help carry bamboo shoots. Xiulan and the others broke off a lot of bamboo shoots and picked a few baskets of pig grass. They did a lot of work.

"Dad, hold me!"

Just as Lin Heng carried the pig grass, his daughter ran over to let him hold her.

She played with her two brothers and Xiongba here for an afternoon today. Now her face and clothes were dirty.

"Hold you and walk. You have to learn to walk by yourself." Lin Heng stretched out his hand to pull her.

"I want to hold you!"

She stamped her feet, getting even more angry, and she looked very cute.

Lin Heng held her little hand and whispered, "If you don't walk, you will be spanked."

Xiaoxia was stunned and looked back. Her mother was looking at her with a bamboo stick.

She turned her head and held her father's hand and walked forward at a very fast speed, not daring to say a word.

"Wife, do you want to catch cicada monkeys tonight?" Lin Heng asked on the way.

"Sure, I just want to eat too." Xiulan nodded.

I worked fast today, and I got home at half past six, more than an hour before dark.

At this time, the sun hasn't completely set at eight o'clock.

"Why don't we ask my parents and my eldest brother to come over for dinner today, and we'll cook a few dishes.

We just have some pig intestines and oil residue, so we'll make some oil residue stuffed steamed buns tonight."

Opening the main door of the hall, Xiulan looked at Lin Heng and said.

Xiulan fried pig intestines twice a day, and there are still some left.

Lin Heng thought it was good and nodded, "Sure, let's have a meal together, I'll call Caiyun, mom, and sister-in-law to help you.

I'll take dad and brother to go fishing, and see if we can catch something to eat."

"Then go now, I'll give Xiaoxia a bath and change clothes and start cooking." Xiulan said.

Lin Heng nodded, went out to find someone, and said something to his eldest brother and sister-in-law first, and after a few words, they agreed.

Lin Heng went to the old house with his elder brother. When he came over, Lin's father was feeding the cow with a bowl of corn paste.

Every time the land was plowed, the big yellow cow could get a bowl of such a reward, which was considered a reward for it.

"If you come to move the wheat, wait a minute, it hasn't been weighed yet." Lin's father said while touching the cow's back.

Lin Heng shook his head: "No, I came to ask Dad to go to my place for dinner in the evening."

"Why go to your place for dinner, your mother is cooking, you can eat by yourself." Lin's father shook his head.

"Dad, I need a reason to ask you to eat, go over and eat later, I asked my mother not to cook."

Lin Heng said helplessly, thinking that it was probably impossible to ask his father to go fishing together.

He was probably still angry in his heart, thinking that he didn't listen to him. But it doesn't matter, he will understand when he makes achievements.

Lin Yue stayed to help Lin's father and persuade him.

Lin Hengze entered the yard and walked into the house. Caiyun and Lin's mother were picking green beans. Recently, many fruits and vegetables have begun to bear fruit. It will soon be the season when vegetables and fruits cannot be eaten and can only be fed to pigs.

"Mom, Xiulan asked you and Caiyun to go over to help cook and eat at my house in the evening. Don't cook." Lin Heng looked at his mother and said.

"Okay, your sister and I will pick the green beans and take them over to eat." Lin's mother was very straightforward. It was normal to go to her son's house for dinner.

"By the way, did your father disagree?" Lin's mother asked again.

Lin Heng spread his hands: "Yes, he doesn't want to go."

"It's okay, you go and do your own thing, I will persuade you." Lin's mother waved her hand, indicating that it was not a big deal.

Lin Heng nodded, came out and saw his eldest brother and shouted: "Let's go, brother, I'll take you fishing."

"Okay." Lin Yue said with a smile, the two brothers went shoulder to shoulder to get the tools, and then set off to the village Red Maple Mountain to fish and hunt together.

Mother Lin and Caiyun took beans to Lin Heng's room to help Xiulan.

When they came, Xiulan had already bathed Xiaoxia and changed her clothes. The little girl was white and clean at this time, as if she was a little princess from a fairy tale.

"Come, auntie, hold her."

Caiyun looked at Xiaoxia and picked her up and kissed her several times.

"Call me auntie!" Caiyun said, touching Xiaoxia's little face.

"Auntie!" Xiaoxia called out crisply, her voice like a lark.

"It smells so good, call me grandma." Mother Lin couldn't help but touch Xiaoxia. The little girl took a bath with soap and smelled very good.

"Grandma." Xiaoxia called out again.

The baby voice immediately melted Mother Lin's heart. After a while, Mother Lin's mind was brightened and she suddenly had an idea.

"Caiyun, go and give Xiaoxia to your father and let him take care of her, so that he won't be idle all day long." Mother Lin said.

"Okay." Caiyun nodded and carried her little niece out.

Father Lin had just finished a cold shower and was about to go get some grass for the cows. Caiyun came over with Xiaoxia in her arms, teased her and said, "How about letting your grandpa hold you?"

Xiaoxia looked at Father Lin, stretched out her little hand and said in a baby voice, "Grandpa, hold you!"

Father Lin was also melted by the cuteness of his granddaughter, and couldn't bear to refuse and stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms.

"Dad, take care of her for a while, I'm leaving." Caiyun saw her father took over, said one sentence and ran away.

"Come back..." Before Father Lin could finish his words, Caiyun ran away.

"Grandpa, go out!" Xiaoxia pointed outside, indicating that she wanted to go out to play.

Looking at this delicate and beautiful granddaughter, Father Lin couldn't bear to refuse, and nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take you out to play."

Take his granddaughter out for a walk, he put Xiaoxia down and pulled her away.

"This is dogtail grass, this is garlic..."

Xiaoxia pointed at the plants on the roadside and said to herself. She has to recognize them several times a day now, picking them and talking at the same time, having a lot of fun.

"You also know grass, Xiaoxia, what is this?"

Father Lin was surprised. His little granddaughter has not only been talking more recently, but also knows flowers and plants?

He was a little unconvinced and pointed to a pear tree next to him to ask.

Xiaoxia tilted her head and looked at it, and said in a baby voice: "It's a pear tree!"

Father Lin was surprised. She really knew it. He pointed to a plantain on the ground. Xiaoxia looked at it and said: "This is plantain."

"My granddaughter is so smart?" Father Lin was surprised. A one-year-old child who was only a few months old actually knew so many plants.

He didn't know that Lin Heng took his daughter to identify objects every day when he had nothing to do, three or four times a day, and it had been going on for more than half a month. It was normal for her to remember these things.

Playing along the way, the grandfather and grandson soon walked to the big ginkgo tree in the village. Many people were enjoying the cool and chatting here, a bunch of men and a bunch of women.

There were also a bunch of children playing in the mud here. This era was a time of population explosion, and there were many children in the village.

Xiaoxia, who was wearing clean clothes and looked like a ceramic doll, stood out among these children and quickly attracted the attention of a group of people.

"Lin Xuan, this is your little granddaughter, so beautiful." Liu Sanye, the old man of the Liu family, said with a smile.

"Yes, my little granddaughter." Lin's father said with a smile.

"She looks so beautiful, like a little sugar man, but I'm afraid it's hard to take care of her. She has to change clothes several times a day. It's better to take care of her son. She can play in the mud for a long time by herself." Li Caifeng glanced at Xiaoxia and felt a little sour.

"She's easy to take care of. My little granddaughter doesn't cry or make a fuss. She knows a lot of flowers, plants and trees." Father Lin touched Xiaoxia's little face and said with a smile.

"Such a young child can still know flowers and plants? You must be bragging." Uncle Liu San looked unconvinced.

"If she can know five kinds of flowers and plants, I'll give her two dried persimmons to eat." Wang Jin, a beekeeper who earns 1,000 yuan, said to Father Lin. His voice was very loud.

After he made such a fuss, many people looked over, and they didn't quite believe that a one-year-old child could know flowers, plants and trees.

Father Lin looked at Wang Jin with dissatisfaction. He didn't like this person very much. He smiled and said, "There's no need for dried persimmons. She doesn't like to eat them. If you want to see them, I'll let you see them."

"Little child, what is this?" Uncle Liu San pointed to a dogtail grass and said.

"Dogtail grass!" Xiaoxia was not very shy and said in a baby voice.

"Hey, it's really good." Uncle Liu San was stunned, and then pointed to a small garlic on the roadside that was difficult to recognize.

"Small garlic!" Xiaoxia looked at it and still recognized it.

"What is this!" Wang Jin didn't believe it and pointed to the plum tree not far away.

"This is a plum tree!" Xiaoxia answered with her head tilted.

The villagers were shocked. A one-year-old girl is so amazing? One by one, Xiaoxia could answer eight out of ten questions.

"Amazing, how did you teach her?"

"Really one year old?"

"Why does my baby only know how to cry and make a fuss? Not to mention recognizing things, he can't even learn to go to the toilet. How did you raise him?"

A group of people asked incredulously. They are the same children, but the difference is too big. We should be thankful that our own child doesn't cry or make a fuss, but how come the one in other people's house is so obedient and can recognize things.

"Wang Jin, you believe it now, isn't he better than your grandson?" Father Lin asked with a smile.

Wang Jin smiled awkwardly and said, "It's a bit of a skill, but it's useless. The kid won't know these when he grows up, and he can't eat them."

Liu Sanye couldn't stand it anymore and laughed, "Other people can recognize things at the age of one and recite poems at the age of three. Your grandson still wets the bed at the age of three."

Wang Jin's face darkened: "I'm too lazy to talk to you, old man."

"Don't run away. Bring the persimmon cakes. If the little girl doesn't eat them, I will." Liu Sanye snorted coldly. He had long disliked Wang Jin. He showed off his money every day.

Wang Jin turned around and left, cursing in his heart. It's just recognizing a few things. Look how happy this old guy is. When your son loses all his money, I'll see if you can still laugh. Let's wait and see.

"Lin Xuan, how did you teach your granddaughter? Teach me too. I'll go back and teach my silly boy." Someone asked.

"Yeah, don't keep us in suspense, tell us quickly." A group of people surrounded him and asked for answers.

Father Lin was so happy. His precious granddaughter was so smart and amazing. It seemed that Lin Heng was not useless. At least he took good care of his daughter.

"Hehe, I don't know about this. My son and daughter-in-law usually take care of her. I just took her to play for a while today." Father Lin smiled.

"Then you go ask and tell us tomorrow. It's too difficult to raise a good kid." Someone shook his head and simply didn't believe that a one-year-old baby could be so amazing.

Li Caifeng and Liu Lan next to him were secretly shocked. They remembered that Lin Heng seemed to teach his daughter to speak and recognize objects every morning without getting tired of it.

At that time, both of them felt that it was a waste of effort, but they didn't expect it to work so quickly. Then they wanted to educate their own children.

But thinking about it made me feel tired, so I gave up. Anyway, it's useless to know flowers and plants. You can still know them when you grow up. It's better to chat with them.

"Okay, I'll ask you later." Father Lin smiled.

After chatting for a while, Father Lin had forgotten about going to pick grass for cattle. Xiaoxia was running and playing beside him.

"Grandpa, thirsty!" Xiaoxia was tired and pulled his trouser legs.

"Okay, go home and I'll make you honey water."

Father Lin picked up his granddaughter and liked her more and more. He thought that he had to work hard. Even if Lin Heng, the silly boy, lost money, he had to let his good granddaughter have food to eat.

On the other side, Lin Heng and his eldest brother Lin Yue brought the dog and came to the foot of Hongfeng Mountain one after another.

"Brother, you can fish in this pond. It's fun." Lin Heng found a pond for his eldest brother and taught him how to fish.

He scattered some corn cobs and hung some earthworms on them. As soon as he threw it down, a fish took the hook. Lin Heng grabbed it and it flew up. A golden stream grouper more than ten centimeters long was caught. It was so easy.

"Is it easy to fish? Try it, big brother." Lin Heng smiled and handed the fishing rod to his big brother.

"I'll try!" Lin Yue was not very interested in this, so he took the fishing rod and tried it.

Within a few seconds after throwing it in, the fishing line was pulled away, but Lin Yue didn't realize it before he pulled up the rod and the fish had already run away.

"This fish hook has no barbs. You have to stare at it and pull up the hook when it bites." Lin Heng said.

"Okay."

Lin Yue tried twice again and finally pulled up a stream grouper. A gleam of light appeared in his eyes, and he found that fishing seemed to be quite interesting.

After a while, he was immersed in fishing. Holding the fishing rod in his hand, he stared at the water intently, and lifted it up instantly when a fish bit the hook. Often because of excessive force, the fish was thrown directly to the shore behind.

Looking at his big brother's focused look, Lin Heng realized that there was another fisherman in the world from then on.

Fishing is such a magical sport. Before fishing, you thought it was stupid to wait by the river every day to fish regardless of wind and rain.

After fishing twice, I found it really interesting. Not only does it work regardless of the weather, but I also cast a rod when crossing the Naihe Bridge.

"You know what, it's really interesting." Lin Yue looked up and said.

"Haha, then you fish, I'll go see if there are any pheasants nearby." Lin Heng said with a smile, and left with Xiongba.
