Lin Heng pinched her face and said with a smile: "What are you thinking about? You are even more beautiful now than you were eight years ago, just like a ripe peach."
Xiulan laughed: "Women always care about changes in their appearance."
"Then I can tell you for sure that you are very beautiful now, like a blooming peony, and I like you very much." Lin Heng answered affirmatively.
Xiulan has also made a lot of progress in the past few years. In terms of culture, she has read a lot of books and has become more elegant.
At the same time, her figure and appearance have hardly changed. She is a little fatter now, about 168 pounds, but this is not considered fat for her who is cm tall, and she still has a curvy figure.
Today she was still wearing the red cotton-padded jacket, which made her look like a delicate peony, but without the girlish immaturity and rusticity, and her intellectual and mature temperament became more obvious.
Xiulan nodded happily. Lin Heng was now more handsome than he was eight years ago. His persistence in exercising made him strong and handsome, and his temperament became more gentle and restrained.
They chatted for a while, and the children came back again. Du Heng had a look of dissatisfaction on his little face, obviously because he had been punished.
Lin Heng and Xiu Lan ignored him. He and Lu Ming liked to provoke their sister when they had nothing to do, so they deserved to be beaten.
After basking in the sun for a while, they took their children out. The festive atmosphere was now fading, and the villagers had started to plant potatoes in the fields.
They cleaned up the vegetables in the greenhouse and loosened the soil to prepare for seedlings. After lunch, they went to Hongfeng Mountain to clean up the greenhouse.
In the next few days, we started to work, raising seedlings, pruning fruit trees, grafting branches for breeding, weeding the pasture and applying cow and sheep manure, etc.
It wasn't too tiring work, and the family was happy chatting while working together. They no longer had to worry about food and clothing, and farming became more fun than before.
The six-year-old Xiaoxia knew more than before. She wanted a piece of land to grow things with her two younger brothers, so Lin Heng allocated a piece of land to her and helped them grow sunflowers, sweet potatoes and cucumbers.
Lin Heng also took the time to tidy up the roses on the Red Maple Mountain fence. These climbing roses have now become a thick wall covered with flower buds, and they bloom except in winter.
Because it is too lush, some of the branches need to be cut off, otherwise it will affect people passing by.
As the children grew up, there was more joy in life, and Lin Heng and Xiulan felt much more relaxed.
The Lantern Festival soon arrived. It was also Xiaoxia’s birthday, so the whole family celebrated her birthday together. Xiulan made a cake for her, Lin Heng bought her her favorite fairy tale book, and Lin’s father and mother gave her a red envelope.
On the 16th day of the first lunar month, which was also the third day of the third lunar month in the solar calendar, Lin Heng and Xiulan first sent Xiaoxia to school. Then they handed their two sons over to their parents to take care of them, and drove to the city with Caiyun and Liu Ciwen, as well as Lin Hai and Tian Yan.
After entering the city, they first sent the two to register for school. In the past two years, in addition to sponsoring Liu Ciwen, Lin Heng also sponsored some other students, providing funding from elementary school to junior high school and even technical secondary school and high school.
There are more than 30 people in total, and the annual expenditure is only about 1,000 yuan, but it is not a loss for him. Apart from anything else, the good reputation gained by being in the newspaper is enough.
A good reputation is very useful. It is a good business card whether you are doing business or interacting with people, and you will be welcome everywhere.
"Shall we go to the factory now?"
After coming out of the school, Xiulan took Lin Heng's hand and asked.
She was wearing a black down jacket, blue pants, and a pair of brown mid-calf boots today. Her hair was draped over her shoulders and she had light makeup on her face. She looked very elegant and beautiful.
"Yes, let's finish dealing with things at the factory before going to look for houses. The approximate location has been determined, and now the main thing is to see which one is suitable." Lin Heng nodded.
"Okay." Xiulan nodded, walked over and got on the passenger seat of the truck, and followed Lin Heng to Hengxiu Feed Factory.
When they came over, Lin Hai and Tian Yan had already come. Tian Yan didn't need to go there today because she was not the class teacher. She would be on maternity leave in the second half of this year until the end of June.
Lin Heng arranged a room for Xiulan and Tian Yan, and then went to a meeting to deal with things. First there was a mobilization meeting for the start of work, and then there were specific arrangements.
There is no production task today. The main work is cleaning, tidying up the factory and checking the machines. Work will officially start tomorrow.
There are still some raw materials for production in the warehouse, so there is no need to buy them immediately. Lin Heng also does not plan to buy them immediately because the factory will be demolished soon and a highway will be built in this area.
After dealing with the factory affairs, they handed this place over to Wang Zhou, and Lin Heng and Lin Hai took their wives out to look at houses.
There were two options for the house's address. One was on the bank of the Bai River that Lin Heng had seen before, and the other was in the main urban area near the city government.
They looked at all these places and finally found a restaurant to discuss the matter while having a meal.
"What do you think is good?" Lin Heng asked after taking a bite of the food.
"Brother Lin, what do you think?" Lin Hai asked in return.
Lin Heng spread his hands and smiled: "Both places are good. I plan to buy a house in one place."
Lin Hai: "..."
Tian Yan angrily pulled Xiulan and said, "Quickly control your man, he is too hurtful."
Xiulan smiled and said, "I think the one with a yard by the river is nice. I can't get used to living in a building in the city center."
Tian Yan nodded and said, "That's true. Those blue brick houses with yards by the river do have better privacy."
Lin Hai looked at the two of them and said, "Then let's buy the one by the river?"
Lin Heng actually prefers a house by the river. That place has been considered a wealthy area since ancient times. People living around there are all more educated or wealthy people, and the security in such places is also better.
"Okay." Tian Yan nodded.
Seeing that Tian Yan also agreed, Lin Heng said, "Then let's eat quickly. Let's try to deal with this matter after dinner today and try to sign the contract today."
The three of them nodded and slightly quickened their eating speed. After finishing their meal, they returned to the area by the river and carefully selected some food.
Finally they decided on two adjacent houses. The one that Lin Heng bought had a larger yard. The house was 200 square meters, a two-story blue brick building with a 200 square meter yard, for a total of 400 square meters.
Lin Hai and his family chose a smaller house, which is 120 square meters and has a yard of only 80 square meters. It faces north and south, and after walking a few hundred meters out of the yard you will reach the Baihe River.
Lin Heng's house cost 5,000 yuan, while Tian Yan's house only cost 2,500 yuan.
Houses in cities are not expensive these days because there is no real estate speculation. They are all residential in nature, not financial products, so naturally they are not that expensive. A courtyard house in the capital costs only tens of thousands of yuan.
After the negotiation, they went to the original owner to complete the formalities and paid half of the money, and then settled the balance after the formalities were completed. It was already five o'clock in the afternoon when all these were done, and both families got the keys to the house. After getting them, Lin Heng took Xiulan back to the house.
Opening the iron gate, Lin Heng bowed to Xiulan and said, "Please come in, my dear. This will be our home in the city from now on."
"Stop being weird, let's go in together." Xiulan smiled and pulled him in.
As soon as you enter, you will see a spacious courtyard of 180 square meters. 100 square meters of the courtyard are paved with blue bricks, and the other 80 square meters are planted with flowers and plants and some greening.
The courtyard wall is made of blue bricks and covered with glazed tiles on top. There are stone carvings of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum on the wall, as well as words.
Walking in, there is a two-story classical small building with three bays and a depth of sixteen meters. The first floor has four bedrooms, two living rooms, one kitchen and one bathroom. The second floor has four bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen, two bathrooms, plus two small balconies in the front and back. The master bedroom is sixty square meters and includes a bathroom, dressing room and a small study.
The house has been renovated, with snow-white walls and crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. The layout is quite antique, giving it the feel of a mansion.
Behind the house, there is a 20-square-meter backyard where many sundries are temporarily stored.
"Whether it's inside the house or the yard outside, you can redecorate it according to your own preferences." Lin said to Xiulan.
"This is pretty good." Xiulan nodded. She couldn't see any flaws in this house.
"It's better to redecorate it. After all, someone else has lived here." Lin Heng said to her.
"That's fine. I'll do whatever you say." Xiulan smiled.
Lin Heng said, "Then I'll find a designer to redesign and renovate the house. We'll also need to buy furniture and other things. Once it's done, we can move in in two years."
"Anyway, I'll go wherever you go." Xiulan replied, and then pulled him and said, "Come on, let's go see Tian Yan and the others."
"it is good."
Lin Heng closed the door and went next door with her. They strolled around Lin Hai's house. They also expressed their desire to redecorate it. This house was their wedding house and they had to tidy it up.
"Then it's just right for us to do it together. I'll find a better designer to do it, and I'll also take care of yours." Lin Heng said with a smile.
"Thank you, Brother Lin." Lin Hai laughed and said without any hesitation.
"By the way, are you going to stay here today or go back?" Tian Yan asked again.
"Tian Yan and I are going to the factory dormitory to rest." Lin Hai said.
Xiulan said, "We have to go back. The child is still at home."
"Then you should go quickly, don't delay, it's getting dark." Tian Yan said.
Lin Heng and the other man spoke to them for a few more words before going out and driving the truck back to Hongfeng Village.
When they came back, their parents had already prepared dinner, so they ate together. While eating, Lin Heng Xiulan told her parents about buying a house today.
"Mom and Dad, do you want to live in the city when the time comes? I will buy you a house there." After talking about buying a house, Lin Heng said with a smile.
Father Lin was the first to shake his head: "We won't go. It's pointless if we don't know anyone. It's better to stay in the city occasionally."
Mother Lin also nodded and said, "That's right. When the time comes, just build a small house for your father and me in the village. We can live together and manage the orchard, grow some crops and raise some things. It will be beautiful. You can come back to play when you are free."
Lin Heng laughed and said, "Don't worry, I'm just saying it. I'm also going to build a big villa in the village, and we'll come back to live there often."
While chatting, they lamented the differences between rural and urban areas. Apart from other things, the difference in education and medical care was huge.
But even if I go abroad and rent a farm or villa, Hongfeng Village will still be my hometown forever.
Li Shiwei came down early the next morning. He said that he would look for a piece of land in the town and buy one to build a house this year, and then let his wife open a small shop.
Lin Heng naturally supported this. He went to the town and handed the purchasing station over to Li Shiwei before going into the city. As soon as he arrived at the factory, Lin Hai told him that someone from the demolition office wanted to talk to him.
Lin Heng took Lin Hai to the Demolition Office at that time. He is now a celebrity, and the people at the Demolition Office were very polite to him. They asked about his conditions and hoped that he would take the lead.
Because they had already discussed it once last year, both parties had a clear idea in mind. This time, Lin Heng also put forward his own requirements, which was to allocate ten acres of land in Jiangbei for himself to build a factory, and to give him one million yuan in funding for the construction of the factory.
Naturally, his request was excessive. After some bargaining, he was given ten acres of land to build a factory, and 600,000 yuan was allocated as demolition compensation. In addition, an old electromechanical factory in Jiangnan was rented to him for free for three years.
In fact, if Lin Heng continued to insist, he could have asked for more, but he was too lazy to talk and left a good impression. The main reason was that he would have many opportunities to demolish houses in the future, so there was no need to be so petty.
For him, as long as there is profit, there is no loss.
"Brother Lin, you are so lucky. The factory was demolished after only two years of construction. You made a lot of money this time." On the way back, Lin Hai put his arm around Lin Heng's shoulder and said with a smile.
"You are indeed lucky." Lin Heng laughed and said, "My promise to you is still valid. I can help you open a factory in a few years."
"Hehe, of course I believe this. We have been playing together since we were young." Lin Hai grinned.
In the afternoon, Lin Heng went to take a look at the old electromechanical factory. There was not much equipment inside, just an empty factory building covering an area of more than 4,000 square meters, which was larger than his original factory.
"This place can be used once it is cleaned up. Those houses over there can be converted into warehouses, and this original office and accommodation building can also be used." Lin Hai said.
"Well, I'll find someone to clean up in the next two days, and we'll move as soon as possible." Lin Heng nodded. Since the demolition contract has been signed, there is no need to linger there. The sooner it is done, the sooner production can begin.
"It's just right to do it together with our house." Lin Hai said with a smile.
After looking around here, Lin Heng returned to the village at night. Unless there was something special, he would go home to live with his wife and children.
It was already dark when he got home. Xiulan had prepared dinner for him. As soon as he entered the yard, he was hugged by the children. Xiulan looked at him and said, "Come and eat. I'll make you some sweet wine. It's freshly brewed glutinous rice wine."
Lin Heng held the three children in his arms and lifted them up one by one. He walked into the house and said to his wife, "Xiu Lan, I have very good news for you."
Xiulan tilted her head and looked at him and smiled: "Let me guess, the factory was demolished, right?" (End of this chapter)
Xiulan laughed: "Women always care about changes in their appearance."
"Then I can tell you for sure that you are very beautiful now, like a blooming peony, and I like you very much." Lin Heng answered affirmatively.
