Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

"In the end, I have to sum it up in one sentence. Lin Fuqiang is a sensible person who knows how to take good care of our family."

Lin Changgui said with a smile, "Then next time, with Xiaoze's ability, there will definitely be a next time. If there is another benefit, our Xiaoze will remember the kindness of the village chief."

"We eat dry food, so at least we can give the villagers some liquid food."

Lin Musheng clapped his hands vigorously for the old man, and said as he clapped, "The old man is really as good as a god. Lin Fugui and I talked about it quietly, and this is what he meant!"

"Father, milk."

Lin Ze stepped forward and said, "I've decided. I'll sleep here for one more night and return to the city early tomorrow morning."

"Yingzi, did you hear what your eldest grandson said? He has to go back to the city tomorrow, so why don't you hurry up and cook?"

Lin Changgui loved his grandson, but he didn't dare to let him take risks in the mountains and lakes all the time. "You are not allowed to go anywhere after lunch. Play a few games of chess with me, your grandfather. Have a good sleep at night. Get up early tomorrow and let your uncle drive the ox cart to take you back to the city."

The fish soup at noon was particularly fresh and sweet. After eating, Lin Ze did not refuse the old man’s request. He and his grandfather moved small stools and played chess at the entrance of the village.

In addition, each family provides one strong laborer to work in the fields.

Half of the old men in the village came over to watch. After Grandpa Lin finished playing, the other old men wanted to compete with Lin Ze in chess.

An old man who was watching noticed something was wrong and shouted, "Hey, Lin Ze, you made a wrong move. Damn it, you're not even touching the horse's leg!"

The old man who was playing chess with Lin Ze said quickly, "Hey, do you need to tell me? My little brother Lin Ze has a BMW. As long as he is happy, he can jump over the field, not to mention the sun and legs."

"Hey, right, right."

Lin Ze was extremely comfortable playing chess. He could tell that, except when he was playing against Lin Changgui, his grandfather never let him off.

The rest of the old men who called him brother were all very lenient with him and kept feeding him the food.

Lin Ze was killing people everywhere, and he knew in his heart that these old men were grateful to him, so they deliberately gave in to him and tried to make him happy.

But Lin Ze was not a child, so he couldn't keep making fun of these old men. He left the chess table after playing only a few games.

"Master, brothers, you guys stay here. I'm going to go play with Xiaohu and the others for a while."

"You can play, but you can't go diving in the deep lake or go hunting in the mountains," warned old man Lin Changgui.

"Okay, sir, don't worry."

Lin Ze also had no plan to go into deep water or climb the mountains.

He just wanted to collect some more silt that could be used as fertilizer, which could be collected by standing by the lake.

At this moment, Lin Xiaohu was leading Lin Wen, Lin Wu and a group of other children to throw stones into the lake and skip them on the water.

Three naked kids stood in a row by the lake, competing to see who could pee farther.

As soon as he saw Lin Ze, Lin Xiaohu immediately surrounded Lin Ze in the crowd, "Uncle Ze, you're finally here!"

"What's wrong? Is there something you want to ask me?"

"My dad said that you might have to go back to the city soon, and I don't know when we will meet again." Lin Xiaohu said reluctantly.

"I went back to the city to bring some food to my parents there. I should be back to the village soon."

Lin Ze picked up a stone on the ground and threw it into the lake, creating four splashes of water.

[Congratulations to the host, I collected 50 kilograms of lake silt as fertilizer. ]

"That's great!" said Lin Xiaohu.

"Brother Ze, will you really be back soon?" Lin Wen asked.

"Don't worry, I like the mountains and rivers in our village. Even if I can't go back soon, it won't take more than ten days at most." Lin Ze said firmly.

Lin Ze said and changed his position, [Congratulations to the host, I have collected 50 kilograms of lake mud]

In this way, he walked around the lake and collected a total of 300 kilograms of lake silt, which was enough for him to ripen his crops.

For dinner, Liu Ying made sweet potato pancakes and a big pot of wild vegetable and fish soup that was snow-white and extremely delicious.

After a good dream that night, the next morning Lin Musheng drove a ox cart to send Lin Ze back to the city.

With the ox cart, the journey back to the city became much easier. Lin Ze lay next to the food in the cart, holding a piece of grass in his mouth, crossing his legs and looking up at the dark clouds that were about to rain.

"Uncle, it looks like it's going to rain soon, come to my house later and get a hat."

"No, it would be fine if it really rained. Now the fields are dry and we have to rely on carrying water manually. Fortunately, our village has a big lake. Some villages can only use well water to irrigate crops. "

Lin Musheng sighed deeply and said, "Your grandparents love you very much. Come to the village often when you are free. You are not allowed to go to the deep mountains and deep lakes. Just go less often. If you really want to go, call me. I will take the blame for you."

"Okay, I understand, uncle."

Lin Ze lay comfortably in the truck bed and fell asleep swaying.

For a journey of most of the day, it is definitely more comfortable to be pulled by an ox cart than to walk by oneself. Seeing that Lin Ze had fallen asleep, Lin Musheng stopped disturbing him and just drove the ox cart slowly.

It just so happened that the family was missing some things, so Lin Musheng decided to go to the city to get them.

When Lin Ze woke up again, he had already arrived at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, and Lin Musheng was helping to move food under the car.

"Uncle, why so fast?"

"Haha, you fell asleep, so of course time passed quickly." Lin Musheng said with a smile.

"Ah."

But this was not what Lin Ze wanted to say. He originally planned to get off the car early and put some of the chickens and ducks in the space among the supplies, so that when his parents found them, he could say that they were brought back from his grandfather's house.

Yan Bugui was still guarding the door, but when he saw Lin Musheng, who was tall and strong and didn't treat him well at all, he had to give up the idea of ​​taking advantage of him.

Lin Musheng and Lin Ze, each carrying 50 kilograms of sweet potatoes and potatoes in a snakeskin bag, entered the house opposite Yan Bugui's house.

Lin Zhengguo was lying on the kang at home and snoring. Lin Ze's younger brother Lin Hao and younger sister Lin Sisi were next to Lin Zhengguo and were also resting.

In Li Xiuzhen's hands, she was mending someone's old clothes. Lin Musheng whispered, "Sister-in-law, look who's back."

Li Xiuzhen then raised her head and saw that it was Lin Ze and Lin Musheng, both of whom were carrying things. She asked in surprise, "Musheng is here, what are you carrying?"

"Mom, put the things away first."

After Lin Ze finished speaking, he put the things on the ground and went out. There were still ten kilograms of pickled salted fish in the truck bed.

By the time Lin Ze moved the fish into the house, Lin Zhengguo had already woken up and was chatting with Lin Musheng.

Lin Hao patted Lin Sisi's back and coaxed her to continue sleeping. In that era of material scarcity, only by sleeping more could they save energy.

"You said that these fish were caught by Lin Ze? These sweet potatoes and potatoes were all found by Lin Ze?"

Lin Zhengguo widened his eyes, and he and Li Xiuzhen looked at Lin Ze in disbelief.

"If we save this food, it will be enough for our family to eat for three to four months."
