Chapter 9 Her left eye is the best proof
So Hua Xiali whispered to her fourth aunt, "Fourth aunt, I have a way to make money here. Do you want to know?"< br>
"What can I do?" Fourth Aunt became interested. At such an old age, she couldn't find anything to do when she went out. It would be good if she could make money at home.
“There is a pig farm owner who wants bamboo shoots to feed the pigs. The ones with bamboo shoot shells are one cent per catty, and the ones without bamboo shoot shells are two cents per catty. When I come over tomorrow, the two of us will Let's break the bamboo shoots and sell them for money." Hua Xiali hugged her fourth aunt's arm and said with a smile.
"Really?" The fourth aunt was shocked. How much money can be made from these bamboo shoots all over the mountains and plains!
"Of course it's true. Can I lie to my fourth aunt? My family owes so much money, and I want to pay back everyone's money quickly!" It was too slow to break the bamboo shoots by myself, so I called If the fourth aunt works together, we will get twice the result with half the effort. Otherwise, it will be a pity when the bamboo shoots on the mountain are all old.
And bamboo is produced in large quantities every year, so it is impossible for it to become extinct.
The fourth aunt nodded happily, "Okay, then the two of us will break bamboo shoots and sell them for money."
She also has two sons whose marriage matters have not been resolved, and she also wants to know more. Earn some money so that when your son gets a girlfriend, you won't have to worry about money.
"Fourth Aunt, I will go home this afternoon and come back tomorrow afternoon. If you are free when I am not here, you can break them off first, so that you can break off more." Hua Xiali said.
She had to go to Huo Beixi to get money tonight, otherwise she wouldn't want to go back. After all, bamboo shoots grow quickly and will grow old in a day or two, so there is no time to waste.
However, due to different varieties of bamboo, the time for bamboo shoots to sprout is also different. It can be said that there are bamboo shoots all year round. When the time comes, come and take a look to know whether any bamboo shoots are broken.
After lunch, the fourth uncle sent flowers and summer gifts to the roadside to wait for the bus. The fourth uncle put down the bundled fruit saplings and asked worriedly, "Can you take back so many things? I'd better give them away You go back!”
“No, Fourth Uncle, I’m not tired from taking the car back.” Hua Xiali said with a smile.
When the car arrived, Hua Xiali got on the car carrying the fruit saplings, waved to her fourth uncle, and found a seat to sit down.
When they got back to the Huazhuang pick-up point, Hua Xiali got off the bus and put the patch on her eyes again, then carried the fruit saplings home. The pick-up point was only twenty minutes away from her home, but now she had it in her hand With a few extra things, it was a bit difficult to walk such a long way, so she collected a few fruit saplings of each kind and put them into the Lingquan space.
Because she plans to keep these and plant them in the yard when she moves to a new home. After all, Qinglong Village will be demolished in 20 years. Planting them all here will not be able to take away any of them. What a shame.
As soon as Hua Xiali walked to the door of her house carrying the remaining fruit saplings, Hua Chunli rushed out to greet her and took what she had in her hand, "Are you exhausted?"
"It's not tiring, it's not heavy." Hua Xiali smiled. It was only sixty saplings, how heavy they can be. Moreover, she collected almost half of the fruit saplings and placed them in the Lingquan space.
"Where do you plan to plant these fruit tree saplings?" Hua Chunli asked curiously.
"Plant them all in the yard, as densely as possible. After you and your brother-in-law's house is built in two years, just transplant a few trees there."
Now the homestead is still an open space. If it were now Just plant the fruit saplings there, and they might be destroyed by the children in the village. After all, children are very destructive.
Her left eye is the best proof. She just passed in front of that group of children and suffered such an unreasonable disaster. If it hit other children on the head, they would probably be shot directly, so it is not too much for her to accept the old hen.
Hua Chunli took the fruit sapling to a shady place in the backyard, took it apart, took it out, and placed it against the wall. Hua Xiali found a suitable place in the yard. , marked it, and then asked Hua Chunli to dig the hole first. She wanted to rest for a while. After all, her body was about to fall apart after sitting in the car for so long.
There are more than thirty fruit saplings to be planted, which means that more than thirty pits need to be dug. This is also a big project, and the three of them, mother and daughter, have to take turns to do it.
Hua Xiali rested for a while, drank some spiritual spring water to restore her strength, and then went to the backyard to dig a hole and plant trees together.
The mother and daughter worked hard for several hours before planting more than thirty fruit trees and setting up grape trellises for the grapes. After the grapes filled the trellises, they could Let's take a rest in the cool air.
Hua Xiali was thinking about borrowing money from Huo Beixi at nine o'clock in the evening, so after dinner, she went to take a bath early, and also took down the wall clock hanging in the living room and brought it into the room for convenience. She looked at the time.
In the 1990s, rich people had luxury cars, villas, and mobile phones, but her family didn't even have a small electronic watch.
But it doesn't matter, now that she is back, she will have whatever she wants in the future.
At night in the countryside, apart from the chirping of birds, animals and insects, there was no other noisy sound. At half past eight, Hua Xiali quietly came to the backyard under the moonlight, and then stood on tiptoes. , looked towards the public well and saw a tall black figure standing there.
Unexpectedly, Huo Beixi was already standing there waiting for her early. For fear of delaying his rest time, Hua Xiali quickly opened the door in the backyard and walked towards the well.
Finally, she stopped almost one meter away from Huo Beixi. Huo Beixi's aura was so strong and oppressive that her heart was beating so nervously that she almost couldn't breathe.
"Huo Zhishu." Hua Xiali forced herself to calm down and said hello with a smile.
The moonlight was dim, even if it was Huo Beixi, he couldn't see clearly what the expression of the girl in front of him was, but in his heart he seemed to see everything clearly.
Huo Beixi looked away and handed the envelope in his hand to Hua Xiali, "We are not in the brigade now, and it is not my working time. There is no need to call me Huo Zhishu, just call me Huo Beixi. "
"Huo..." Hua Xiali looked up at the oppressive person in front of him, but couldn't say his name. It felt like it was too impolite.
"Huh?" Huo Beixi raised his eyebrows.
"Huo...Huo...Beixi." Hua Xiali's nervous tongue was about to fight. After stumbling out his name, he took out the IOU he had written in advance and handed Huo Beixi He took the envelope in his hand and said, "Thank you for being willing to lend me money. I promise you that I will return it to you with interest before the Chinese New Year."
After Hua Xiali finished speaking, she bowed to him to express her gratitude, then turned around and left quickly. She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would be so nervous that her heart would explode.
