Chapter 40 I just wanted to show concern for her
When the three of them passed the brigade headquarters with their faces flushed and sweating, Hua Xiali saw Huo Beixi standing outside the office window and rushing She waved, and Hua Xiali walked over in confusion. He glanced consciously into the office and asked when there was no one else, "Huo Beixi, are you calling me?"
Huo Beixi just waved to her and did not call her name. She wasn't sure who Huo Beixi was calling.
"Someone just called you and said it was your fourth uncle and asked you to call back." Huo Beixi said warmly.
Hua Xiali nodded and said to Zhang Yongfeng and Hua Qiuli, "Brother-in-law, Qiu Li, you go home and rest first. I'll call you back and I'll be back soon."
Although the brigade headquarters is on the roadside, the main entrance is not on the roadside. Hua Xiali's location at the moment is the window behind the brigade headquarters. To go to the brigade headquarters office, she has to go around to the main entrance.
Hua Xiali walked into the brigade headquarters, came to the phone, and dialed the number in the village where her fourth uncle lived. Although it was already the 1990s, telephones were not yet popular. First of all, it was because it was too It's expensive. It costs 3,000 to 5,000 yuan to install a phone. Secondly, most people don't have a phone at home, so installing it is a waste.
Ten years later, telephones will be popular and not so expensive. There will also be a wireless landline phone that can be installed for only a few hundred yuan.
After dialing the phone, the village cadre answered the phone first, and then the village cadre used the radio to notify his fourth uncle. After waiting for a while, he heard his fourth uncle's voice. The fourth uncle asked on the phone, "Xia Li, what are you doing?" When are you coming? There are already a lot of bamboo shoots at home."
"Fourth uncle, I will come over tomorrow afternoon. You can do whatever you want and don't worry about other things." Hua Xiali answered the phone in a low voice. said.
She was busy setting up a stall these past few days, and she couldn't leave, so she didn't go to her fourth uncle's house to collect bamboo shoots, but it was time to collect them, because the bamboo shoots shriveled when she put them down.
She doesn't want anyone to know that she wants to use bamboo shoots to make money, especially Huo Beixi, who is the village party secretary and has the interests of the villagers in mind.
What would she do if Huo Beixi asked her to make money with the villagers?
She will help those who are good to her family without being reminded, but she will not help those who are making trouble for her family, even if they kneel in front of her and beg her.
She is not the kind of person who heals her scars and forgets the pain. And if she forgives someone, wouldn’t it be a backstab to her parents?
After all, they had caused great harm to her parents by adding insult to injury. It was impossible for her to forgive those people on behalf of her parents.
After hanging up the phone, Hua Xiali took out a dime and put it in the box next to the phone, and then said to Huo Beixi, "Thank you."
"Xia Li, you have something It smells like blood, are you okay?" Huo Beixi asked warmly.
Hua Xiali looked into Huo Beixi's narrow, dark eyes and was speechless for a moment. She turned and left without saying anything. She smelled of rust because of her good friend. She was about to visit. Every time before and when she came, she could smell the smell of rust. Now she didn't expect that Huo Beixi could smell it too. She felt like she was in front of him, as if there were no secrets.
Huo Beixi didn't know why Hua Xiali was angry. He just wanted to care about her!
"Second sister, drink water." As soon as Hua Xiali walked into the yard, Hua Qiuli handed the teapot to her, "Second sister, I also walked with you today and realized that although setting up a stall makes money, there is also a lot of money. It’s too hard!” Hua Xiali smiled faintly, “You know it’s hard, just study hard, try to get into college, and sit in an office after you get out. Not to mention the high salary, you don’t have to worry about the sun, and you are only in the second year of junior high school. , you will only be in the third grade of junior high school in the second half of the year. There are still four years left, everything can be done in time."
Hua Qiuli nodded, "I know, I will not muddle along like before, I will pick up the textbook. , study hard. "
It was only today that she realized how much the second sister had sacrificed for this family. It was all because of her second sister's efforts that she and her eldest sister were able to sit peacefully in the classroom.
The second sister probably wanted to study more than anyone else, but she gave this opportunity to her and the eldest sister.
She wants to work hard. The eldest sister only has more than a month to review, and she dares to take the college entrance examination. And she still has four years, what else can't she do?
Hua Qiuli didn't take the college entrance examination in her previous life. She didn't even finish high school. Seeing her classmates drop out one after another in the classroom, she also dropped out.
She was the only one of the three sisters in the family who had the opportunity to take the college entrance examination, but she gave up. Mother Hua begged her to go back to school, and she almost shed tears.
But children in middle school and high school are quite rebellious. Who would listen to their family’s arrangements? Naturally, Hua Qiuli did not listen to her family’s instructions. Instead, she followed her classmates to work in an electronics factory on the outskirts of the county. After two years of work experience, I went to work in an electronics factory in a big city. The salary was a few hundred a month at first, and several thousand a month later.
I later got married outside. There were no big ups and downs in my life, but it was much better than Hua Xiali and my eldest sister. But with a big family living together, the expenses were quite high and life was quite hard. Often worry about money.
But Hua Chunli and Hua Xiali were too busy taking care of themselves that they couldn't help her at all. After all, Hua Chunli's husband had passed away, and she was raising her son and young daughter with cerebral palsy alone.
And Hua Xiali raised two sons by himself, worked various odd jobs, and was extremely short of money. How could he possibly help Hua Qiuli?
But fortunately, the demolition later alleviated their urgent need. Hua Chunli also transferred all the money for Hua Qiu Li to Hua Qiu Li. Even if she wanted to treat her son with cerebral palsy, she would not The money belongs to Hua Qiuli.
Now that she is determined to study hard, if she can get into college, she will find a good job in the future, and she won’t have to work so hard, and she won’t marry far away, even with her family. There is no chance to meet.
Anyway, in the previous life, after Hua Qiuli dropped out of school, Hua Xiali had not seen her a few times. Later, after the popularity of smartphones and the possibility of video chatting, Hua Qiuli often cried to her, saying I want to go home, but the journey is far away and high-speed rail tickets are too expensive. I am worried about raising a child alone...
Anyway, due to various reasons, Hua Xiali had never seen Hua Qiuli before her mistress and illegitimate son robbed her house.
It is different now. In this life, her family will no longer have to face such regrets. Everyone can live and work in peace and contentment in their hometown, and there is no need to leave their hometowns.
After dinner, the sky was still bright, and the bright sunset hung in the distant sky, which looked very magnificent and beautiful. Hua Xiali and Zhang Yongfeng took Hua Fu out of the room, placed him on the bamboo bed, and gave him He covered him with a quilt and let him lie there to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the evening.
