Era-Ch13
by MarineTL — Chapter 13: Can’t Find It? The school in Huangtan Town is called Huangtan Middle School, which is separate from Huangtan Primary School. Lin Heng attended here until the second year of middle school, but was persuaded by some bad friends to stop continuing his education.

Era-Ch11
by MarineTL — Chapter 11: The Art of a Fisherman Lin Heng turned his head and saw his nephew Lin Wei fling a crab with a smack, causing it to hit a rock and die. “Damn it, a dead crab!” Lin Wei, sucking on his finger, kicked it a few more times in frustration. “Did it break your skin?” Lin Heng asked. “It’s fine, just a scratch from the claw,” Lin Wei shook his head, moving closer to Lin Heng. Rural kids are tough; minor injuries are nothing, and they keep playing once the pain subsides. “Be careful.…

by MarineTL — Chapter 9: I Don’t Think You’re Weak After dinner, Chen Xiulan prepared bathwater for Lin Heng. “Hurry up and wash, I’ve already set out clean clothes for you.” She then took their daughter into the room. At that time, there were no bathrooms, just a basin placed in the firewood room for washing. In this season, the mornings and evenings were still chilly. Lin Heng shivered like a cold bird. The house had no electric lights, only the dim glow from the stove. After quickly finishing his bath,…

by MarineTL — Chapter 7: Dad, You Eat Dirt When Chen Xiulan saw this, she couldn’t help but smile, but then she rolled her eyes at Lin Heng: “You’re an adult, yet you still act like this.” “Come on, just admit how awesome your husband is!” Lin Heng said with pride, puffing his chest out. Chen Xiulan looked at the wild chicken in her hands, nodding as she examined it: “Amazing, truly amazing!” “Heh, well then, make sure to reward me well tonight,” Lin Heng said with a sly smile, moving closer.

by MarineTL — Chapter 8: No Sending Off “It was really Lin Heng who shot it. I saw it with my own eyes, and the wild chicken’s blood hasn’t even dried yet.” Chen Xiulan quickly defended her husband. “Watch carefully, I will only demonstrate once!” Lin Heng said, then picked up the slingshot and aimed at a dried gourd the size of a fist hanging on the wall five meters away. With a loud “bang,” the gourd shattered into pieces. Everyone was shocked. Father Lin Xiu’an looked on with disbelief, “The…

Era-Ch5
by MarineTL — Chapter 5: Going Up the Mountain with My Wife “Hoo… hoo…” After just about ten minutes of climbing, Lin Heng was already out of breath. Although he was young, he rarely did any physical labor, and carrying his 20-pound daughter up the mountain was wearing him out. In contrast, his wife didn’t seem to be struggling much at all. “Give her to me. Your clothes are soaked in sweat!” Chen Xiulan said with a bit of helplessness and amusement. “Heh… Ma…” Lin Xiaoxia, their daughter in the…

by MarineTL — Chapter 6: The Meaning of Life is My Wife’s Smile “What is it?” Upon hearing his wife’s voice, Lin Heng hurried over. “Look, isn’t this a good find? So much yellow mulberry fungus, it sells for 80 cents a pound, and this pile must be at least four or five pounds.” Chen Xiulan pointed to a fallen wild mulberry tree, where its not-so-thick trunk was covered in golden-yellow fungus. Mulberry fungus is a type of wood fungus, similar to Ganoderma or tree tongue mushrooms, with a wood-like feel.…
