Era: Started from raising livestock in the mountains

Lin Heng looked in the direction of Xiulan and was soon stunned, mainly because he had never seen such a strange fish.

This fish looked like a pound, like a grass carp, and the deep mountains were blue like the sky. There was a purple vertical line on the back, which looked very strange.

"Honey, what kind of fish is this? Hurry up and get the scoop net for me." Xiulan said.

"Okay, I'm here."

Lin Heng picked up the scoop net and quickly scooped up the fish. After looking carefully, he confirmed that it was undoubtedly a grass carp, and it looked more beautiful than the one seen in the water.

"Wife, your luck is invincible. This is a mutant grass carp!" Lin Heng said in shock.

As he spoke, he took off the hook on the upper lip of the fish. Fearing that the fish would die, he quickly put it into the fish guard and observed it carefully.

This fish is not only blue on the back, but also most of the scales on the side are sky blue, the bottom abdomen is light blue, the gill cover of the gills is also a little blue, and the purple vertical line on the back is also very obvious, which looks very handsome.

"Really?" Xiulan came over to take a look. The fish was indeed very beautiful.

"Let me put it this way. The body color variation of fish is not rare, but it is generally a yellow and white variation. A dual-line variation like this with both blue and purple is definitely one in hundreds of thousands. So you are not a little lucky." Lin Heng looked at Xiulan and explained.

When Xiulan heard this, she also opened her red lips and smiled: "So, then I am really lucky today."

Lin Heng nodded: "Of course, we will take this fish back to raise it, breed it and reproduce offspring. After selection, it can become an ornamental fish like koi. It is a big business."

Xiulan nodded, looked at Lin Heng again and said: "Then I will give this fish to you, husband, you take good care of it."

"Then I'm not polite, thank you, wife, this is a unique gift in the world!" Lin Heng put the fish down and said happily. He likes to raise some fish for fun. This rare native fish is even more precious and is likely to be unique.

He picked it up and looked at it again. Compared with the golden catfish in his backyard, this fish was much more precious.

Xiulan was happy to see his silly look. She finally gave her husband a unique gift.

"Are we going to continue fishing?" Xiulan asked.

"No, I want to go back and get the oxygen cylinder and plastic bag to oxygenate the fish before taking it back. It must be foolproof. If it dies directly when I take it back, I will have no place to cry." Lin Heng said.

"If you don't fish, you lose." Xiulan smiled. Fishing doesn't matter to her. The main thing is that it's fun to be with Lin Heng.

"Well, I admit defeat." Lin Heng smiled and nodded.

"Okay, then you have to carry me to the car. My feet hurt and I can't walk." Xiulan tilted her head and looked at him.

Lin Heng patted his chest and said, "This is easy, no problem."

He stopped fishing and collected the fishing line first, then took out the fish and put it in the bucket, leaving the mutant grass carp in the fish guard alone, and sealed the fish guard with his body, and put it under an inconspicuous willow tree.

After finishing, he walked to Xiulan and said, "Let's go, I'll carry you back."

"Okay!"

Xiulan happily lay on his back, holding the fishing rod in one hand and the bucket with fish in the other hand, and Lin Heng carried her and walked towards the car.

At this time, the sun had completely set, but the sky was not dark, and there was still some residual red glow in the west.

Xiulan lay on Lin Heng's back happily and satisfied, feeling that the wind was gentle and the mountains were affectionate.

After a while, the two came to the car. Xiulan kissed Lin Heng on the side of the cheek before getting off, and was helped by Lin Heng to the co-pilot, and the fishing rod and the fish were thrown in the back of the car.

The two drove quickly towards Hongfeng Village. Gradually, the night fell. Today is the third day of the seventh lunar month. There is only a little crescent moon in the sky, and the stars are gathered. The Milky Way is upside down.

The mountain is extremely dark. In the darkness, insects and frogs are chirping in unison. From time to time, you can hear the voices of golden roosters and muntjacs. Although the environment looks a bit scary, the two are together so they are not afraid at all. They walk back talking all the way.

It was already 8:10 when they got home. As soon as Lin Heng parked the car, the children ran out to greet them. Caiyun asked from behind: "Second brother and sister-in-law, did you catch any fish?"

"I caught it. It's about four or five kilograms in total, but that's nothing. Your sister-in-law was lucky enough to catch a super rare mutant grass carp today. It may be the only one in the world." Lin Heng couldn't help showing off immediately.

"The only mutant grass carp in the world?" Caiyun looked puzzled.

"Yes, your sister-in-law has given it to me." Lin Heng said proudly.

"It's not as outrageous as he said. It's just a blue-purple grass carp. It's just a little bit prettier." Xiulan added.

"Blue-purple, let me see it." Lin's father also came out and asked.

"He's scared to death. He's still keeping it by the river. I'm going to get the oxygen cylinder and then go get it." Xiulan said.

Lin's father was shocked: "Oh my God, is a fish so precious?"

"Of course, Dad, you don't understand at all." Lin Heng shook his head. This grass carp has such a beautiful color. It would be so cool to raise it in a super large glass fish tank after it grows up. Anyone who plays with ornamental fish will envy it.

After taking the children into the house, Lin Heng went to the warehouse to get industrial oxygen cylinders and plastic bags specially used for transporting fish.

"I'll go with you. I want to see what kind of fish is so precious." Lin's father said.

"Okay, it's not safe for me to go alone." Lin Heng nodded.

After saying this to his mother, he drove off. After arriving at the place, Lin Heng took out the fish guard and showed it to his father. After seeing it, Lin's father said, "This is indeed quite rare, but is it really so precious?"

"Of course, you will understand when I raise it in the future." Lin Heng nodded and said.

As he spoke, he filled a small part of the plastic bag with water, put the fish in it, and then inserted the oxygen tube into the water to release oxygen. After waiting for thirty seconds, it was almost full of oxygen. He pulled the tube out of the bag and tied it tightly.

He took the fish back to the village. He first scooped some water from the hatching pond and put it in the box, and threw the fish and the plastic bag in to warm it up.

After finishing, he went to eat with his father. In the evening, Lin's mother made noodles and fried a few dishes. They had a simple bite.

After dinner, Lin Heng opened the bag and put the fish into the water tank, then poured some potassium permanganate into it for disinfection, and put it into the large hatching pool after ten minutes.

This hatching pool has been empty since the shrimp seedlings were hatched. The water is deep and large, and it is safe to raise a fish in it. Just install the anti-jump net.

"This fish is really beautiful." Caiyun said as she looked at the fish in the pool.

"What a beautiful little fish!" Xiaoxia also nodded her head.

"Even if it looks good, there is no need to be so careful." Lin's mother said she didn't understand. In her opinion, it was not as good as a big grass carp.

"It's okay if you don't understand, but remember to come and see it often. Don't feed it for the time being." Lin Heng looked at his parents and said.

Lin's father looked at him and said, "Why don't you buy a large glass fish tank in the city to raise it?"

"That won't work. For the time being, the risk is still too great." Lin Heng shook his head. The fish tank has a small body of water, and the fish is prone to accidents.

The most important thing is that there are no good small water pumps in this era, and there are not even brushless motors. There are still very few products for these entertainments.

After all, at this time, only heavy industry has developed in China, and other things are just budding.

He also wants to keep it at home so that he can watch it every day, but for the sake of safety, it is better to keep it in a large pond for the time being.

"Then let's go home." Xiulan said beside him.

"Okay." Lin Heng nodded, and drove the sidecar back after going out.

This sidecar was originally given to Lin Hai for use. A few days ago, he took it back and bought a second-hand motorcycle for Lin Heng to use.

The main reason is that he doesn't have a short-distance commuter vehicle at home, which is very inconvenient. The motorcycle can carry fewer people, not as good as the sidecar.

They took the live crucian carp and the dead white stripe back. The crucian carp is prepared to be stewed in soup tomorrow, and the white stripe is for Xiaoxia to feed the turtle. The turtle raised in the backyard especially likes to eat small fish.

It was already past nine when we got home. The children who were full of energy during the day were still leaning on people, obviously sleepy.

Please...collect 6...books...!

Xiulan's feet hurt, so Lin Heng poured them some water and let them wash themselves. After entering the bedroom, he began to coax them to sleep.

After the children fell asleep, he took safflower oil to rub Xiulan's ankle. The injury was not very serious, just a little swollen. When he rubbed it, Xiulan trembled in pain and kicked him in the face twice.

"Sleep, sleep, today is so perfect."

Lying down, Lin Heng smiled and sighed, this beautiful grass carp made him feel that everything was worth it.

"Let's go fishing again in autumn. It's still a little too hot now." Xiulan looked at him and said.

Lin Heng nodded, and the two chatted for a few words and then rested.

When they got up the next morning, Xiulan's feet didn't hurt much. After breakfast, they went to the back mountain to pick some plums. This green and crisp plum tasted very delicious, and both adults and children liked it.

Half of the grapes were picked this time, and only a few pears and other fruits were picked. The main reason was that my eldest brother's family would come to pick them, so they would leave some.

Today the sun was still strong. After lunch, Lin Heng went to the pig farm with a hat to take a look. After returning, he went to the field with his parents to harvest mung beans and red beans.

Mung beans and red beans can only be harvested on such sunny days. If they are not dry enough, it is difficult to rub the seeds out of the seed clip.

"Son, have you bought a schoolbag and notebook for Xiaoxia?" Lin's father asked while working.

"I have bought them all." Lin Heng nodded.

Lin's mother said beside him: "I heard that the education in the city is better. You have moved your household registration down there, so why don't you send your children to school?"

"It's the same. It's not convenient down there for the time being. Let's wait." Lin Heng shook his head.

He doesn't push his children to study hard. As long as his children have good character, it doesn't matter whether they study well or not, especially when they are young. There is no need to put them under so much pressure when they should be happy.

Besides, he makes so much money just to make his offspring feel a little more relaxed, so everything goes with the flow.

Moreover, he felt that the child had developed a habit of reading and had a strong concentration under his training, which was enough.

"It's good in the village, you can see it all the time, but you can't see it in the city." Lin's father also said.

Lin Heng nodded, and after nearly an hour, they harvested the green beans and red beans they planted this year, and then broke some tender corn back to the village.

"Come and wash your face and eat watermelon to cool down."

Xiu Lan saw them coming back and said that she and Cai Yun were going to go too, but Lin Heng stopped them and asked her and Cai Yun to take care of the children and cook.

Cai Yun brought them cold water, and after washing, the three of them sat down to eat iced watermelon.

At this time, Xiu Lan and the others also brought the meal. The staple food was porridge and steamed buns. The porridge was porridge with sweet potatoes, green beans, red beans, and corn. They also mixed some cold dishes and fried sour beans and meat.

The porridge had already cooled down. Lin Heng drank two large bowls and then ate some steamed buns.

"Tomorrow afternoon, we will eat snails. Those things have spit out all the sand." Xiu Lan said.

"Okay, then we will have a good meal with iced beer." Lin Heng nodded. They have always loved snails.

Lin's father and mother naturally had no objection. After the meal, they did not leave and cooled down here.

The weather became a little gloomy and a little stuffy the next day, but they still fried a big pot of snails in the evening, sat on the stone table in the yard, ate snails and drank beer, enjoying the feeling of summer.

The next day, the eldest brother called them again, one because Caiyun was about to go to school, and the other because the eldest brother shot a pheasant yesterday and called them to eat game together.

At the dinner table, Lin Heng and the eldest brother talked about some things, about the village, about doing business and trading.

Lin Heng and the eldest brother are now separated. He went to the city to develop, and the eldest brother developed in the village. No matter who is not doing well, the other can help.

"By the way, brother, do you know that there is a Taoist priest in the village recently?" Lin Yue asked while drinking.

"I heard about it, but I didn't care. What's the matter?" Lin Heng asked puzzledly.

Lin Yue said: "Then he said he was from Wudang Mountain, saying that he wanted to rebuild the Taoist temple on the mountain behind our village committee, and wanted the village to help hire people to work for free."

"Then build it, I believe many people are willing, right?" Lin Heng asked with a smile.

He was originally an atheist, but his rebirth made him a little confused about this time, but he still would not choose to believe in God. At most, he would look for a good day when he was working, and take his children to burn incense and pray for peace and happiness.

He did not object to the construction of the Taoist temple, thinking that it was at least much better than the Buddhist temple.

"I donated ten yuan, brother, do you want to donate, it can be regarded as a report of peace." Lin Yue said again.

"Wait until I go to see the specific situation of the Taoist priest another day." Lin Heng thought for a while and said.

After drinking, they came out, the wind in the sky became very strong, and a heavy rainstorm fell in the middle of the night.

The rain came very fast, from midnight to more than nine o'clock in the morning, and the Shiban River was full of water.

Less than an hour after the rain stopped, the sun came out again, still shining brightly. By the afternoon, the dirt road was passable. (End of this chapter)
