Chapter 8 Going to Fourth Uncle’s House
It’s just that no one in their family has awakened the consciousness of eating bamboo. When Hua Xiali went to the city to accompany her children in her previous life, she saw someone selling them in the vegetable market. Only then did she realize that bamboo shoots are edible and delicious. Later, when her children returned to the village during the holidays, she would occasionally take them into the mountains to break bamboo shoots.
Thinking of this, Hua Xiali couldn't help but feel happy. No one was eating bamboo shoots yet, so naturally no one would compete with her for the bamboo shoots.
"Xia Li, you're here, come in quickly." The fourth uncle stood by the door and waved to Xia Li.
"Fourth uncle, how did you know I was coming?" Hua Xiali held the basket and ran over quickly in surprise.
"Of course your mother called me to tell me, otherwise how could I know." The fourth uncle took the basket from Hua Xiali's hand and saw an old hen tied up with five flowers inside, and said helplessly, " It's fine if you come here. Why do you bring things? It's great to keep them for your dad's health."
< br>Hua Xiali smiled sweetly, "I still have them at home!"
The fourth uncle and the fourth aunt gave birth to three children in total, two sons and one daughter. The two sons are working in other places and have no children yet. Married, my daughter is already married, so now the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt are at home.
The family raises chickens, ducks and geese, and plants some fruit trees and tea trees, so life is going well.
The most important thing is that as I get older, it’s hard to go outside. Besides, my family can live well, so who wants to leave their hometown?
The fourth aunt came out of the kitchen, took off her apron, and said with a smile, "Xia Li is here. Get water and wash your hands quickly. We will eat right away."
"Excuse me, fourth aunt." Hua Xia Li didn't Smiling good-naturedly.
"We are all one family, no trouble at all." The fourth aunt smiled heartily, not caring about these things at all.
Hua Xiali came to the large water tank next to the kitchen door, fetched water and washed her hands, then went to the living room. The kitchen of her fourth uncle's house was relatively small, and it couldn't even fit the water tank, and there was no place to eat. , so the fourth uncle’s family eats in the living room.
"Xia Li, your mother called and said you wanted fruit trees. Which ones do you want and how many do you want?" Fourth uncle asked while eating.
Hua Xiali thought for a while and said, "I want twenty fig trees and five of the remaining peaches, apricots, plums, grapes, Gala fruits, persimmons, dates and pomegranates, okay?"
The climate here is not suitable for growing many fruits, so this is all Hua Xiali can ask for. She has no use in thinking about other delicious fruits.
The climate is not suitable!
The fourth uncle nodded, "Okay, I will help you get it together tomorrow."
Hua Xiali was very happy, "Thank you, the fourth uncle."
After dinner, it was still very bright outside. The fourth uncle and fourth aunt asked Hua Xiali to walk around by herself. After all, she had been coming to their house since she was a child and was very familiar with this place.
Hua Xiali went out and went directly into the bamboo forest outside the fourth uncle's house. He walked a few meters inside and made sure that people outside could not see anyone in the bamboo forest, so he ducked into the spiritual spring space.
After she put the vegetable table into the yard for testing, she quickly poured a cup of hot tea into it. Unexpectedly, half a day had passed, and this cup of hot tea was still as hot as before.
Explain that if you put things into the spirit spring space, they will not change in any way. This will make the spirit spring space more useful to Hua Xia Li. After Hua Xiali came out of the spiritual spring space, she began to break bamboo shoots.
Bamboo shoots themselves are very delicious. If you add some spiritual spring water to enhance the taste, it will be even more delicious. She feels that she can make a lot of money just by relying on bamboo shoots.
After all, they are also a major producer of bamboo. Not only are there bamboos and bamboo shoots everywhere, but they are also everywhere in the mountains and plains!
Hua Xia Li broke off the bamboo shoots until it got dark, then stopped. Then she neatly stacked the bamboo shoots in the corner of the Lingquan yard and returned to her fourth uncle's house.
The fourth aunt saw Hua Xiali coming back and said to Hua Xiali, "Xiali, you stay in the room where your cousin used to live tonight. I have made the bed for you."
Although my daughter is married, her room has been kept at home so that she can have a place to live when she returns to her parents’ home with her children.
"Thank you, Fourth Aunt. Fourth Aunt, you should go to bed early! I am such an adult, I will take care of myself." Hua Xiali used to come to Fourth Uncle's house often, and sometimes he would stay for a while. For her, it was just like her own family, and she didn't need her fourth uncle and fourth aunt to worry about anything for her.
"Then you take care of yourself. Let's go back to the room first." As the fourth aunt said, she scooped hot water from the iron pot in the kitchen and returned to the room with the hot water.
It’s only April, it’s not hot, so you don’t need to shower every day, just wash your face and feet at night.
Hua Xiali came to the kitchen and saw a pot full of hot water. She was very moved. She had a good family and relatives. She couldn't bear to think about it. Just for the three hundred yuan. The betrothal gift was to marry Wang Liang. If she could go back to her previous life, she would definitely slap herself hard several times to wake herself up.
Three hundred yuan could not solve the family's difficulties. On the contrary, it ruined her whole life, and it did not help her parents. In the last moments of their parents' lives, she did not stay with them. She had many regrets in her previous life, and this was the biggest regret deep in her heart.
Hua Xiali took a ladle of spiritual spring water, and then poured the spiritual spring water into a large water tank. She couldn't repay her fourth uncle and fourth aunt for the time being, so she could use the spiritual spring water to help them recuperate their bodies!
She didn't go to wash up now. It was still early and she couldn't sleep at all, so she went to break bamboo shoots outside her fourth uncle's house again. This time she didn't get into the bamboo forest, but She broke off the outermost bamboo shoots outside the fourth uncle's house. If the fourth uncle or the fourth aunt came out to check, she said just look at the stars outside.
Soon, Hua Xiali broke off the outermost bamboo shoots outside the fourth uncle's house, and then got up and went back. He squatted on the ground for too long. When he stood up, he felt like his legs were not even. As if it was her own, after a while, the condition of her legs improved, and she returned to her fourth uncle's house.
Locked the courtyard door, went to the kitchen to get hot water to wash up, and then went to my cousin's room to rest.
The next morning, when Hua Xiali got up and came out, there was no sign of her fourth uncle at home. Her fourth aunt told her that her fourth uncle had gone to someone else's house to help her get fruit seedlings.
No one here has grown fruits on a large scale. They only plant a few trees in the yard or in the vegetable field. The flower summer gift requires so many flowers at once, and the fourth uncle doesn't have any in his hands, so he can only go to other people's houses and ask.
Hua Xiali felt very sorry for causing trouble to her fourth uncle, but Hua Xiali was not such an ungrateful person. Her fourth uncle and fourth aunt helped her, and she would definitely repay them. .
