After all, when she returned to this life, the child was already pregnant. She couldn't beat the child, right?
The section of road leading to the fourth uncle's house was inaccessible to cars, so Hua Xiali asked Jian Nan to drive the car to the intersection, and then got out of the car. She waved to Jian Nan and Xiaodong. , watching Jian Nan find a place to turn the car around and leave, Hua Xiali walked to her fourth uncle's house inside.
When he arrived at the door of his fourth uncle's house, he saw a big lock hanging on the door. Hua Xiali did not go around looking for his fourth uncle and aunt, but went straight into the bamboo forest next to the house. Then she went in to break bamboo shoots. It wasn't until she heard a sound coming from her fourth uncle's house that she took out the bamboo shoots and then knocked on the door of her fourth uncle's house.
When the door opened and saw the elderly fourth uncle and fourth aunt, Hua Xiali felt deep sadness in her heart. She didn’t expect that after coming back six years late, the fourth uncle and fourth aunt would be like this. a state of affairs.
But now that I have her, everything will be fine.
"Xia Li, why are you here? Are you here alone?" the fourth aunt asked, looking behind Hua Xia Li.
Hua Xiali said with a smile, "I didn't come alone, Jian Nan sent me here, but he has to go to work tomorrow, so he rushed back."
Hua Xia Li reached out to hold her fourth aunt's arm and went in with her, "Fourth aunt, I came to see you today because I have a great thing to tell you."
"What great thing? You are pregnant. Are you ready?" Fourth aunt asked excitedly.
Hua Xia Li was stunned there, never expecting that her fourth aunt would guess so accurately, "Fourth aunt, you guessed it right, I am indeed pregnant. I found out a few days after my father passed away, but This is not what I came to tell you today.”
Hua Xiali shook the bamboo shoots in his hand, "Jiannan's hotel wants bamboo shoots. I remembered that there are quite a lot of bamboo shoots on the mountain here at my uncle's house, so I came to find you. Bamboo shoots cost five cents a pound. One hundred pounds is five yuan, all over the mountains and plains They are all bamboo shoots. You can earn five yuan casually. I wonder if the fourth aunt is willing to do it?”
“Really?” The fourth aunt’s eyes widened in surprise, “No one can eat this. Bamboo shoots can be sold for five cents One pound?"
Hua Xiali nodded, "Of course it's true. I came here to find you. Can it be false? If you are willing, you can make money by breaking bamboo shoots. , as for where to send the broken bamboo shoots? Here, I will tell you when I make arrangements."
"Okay, thank you so much Xia Li. You will always remember us if you have any good things." The fourth aunt lovingly stretched out her hand to caress Hua Xia Li. cheeks and said with a smile.
Hua Xiali couldn't accept this kind of intimate gesture, and smiled sheepishly, "Fourth Aunt, are you ready to finish cooking? Just let me come and help you!"
"You are pregnant now, so don't move around. Besides, you have been in the car for so long. Just sit down and have a good rest while waiting for dinner." The fourth aunt said and went to the kitchen to cook.
Hua Xiali smiled and came to the well outside the door. She first filled the bucket with spiritual spring water, and then used the fake action of fetching water to pour the spiritual spring water into the well, regardless of herself. It's so late to come back, but as long as everyone is still there, there is still a chance for everything.
"Fourth Aunt, I'm going to go for a walk first. If dinner is ready later, you can eat first without waiting for me." Hua Xiali went back and spoke to Fourth Aunt before turning around and going out again.
She walked directly towards Huo Beixi’s empty house. Like the house behind her house in Huazhuang, no one had taken care of it for five years. Although the house still stood, it looked very beautiful. The depression and desolation meant that no one had taken care of the house in the past five years. Hua Xiali came to the hilltop belonging to Huo Beixi and saw the bamboo shoots standing proudly. Memories slowly came to her mind. Although Huo Beixi was not by her side, she felt as if he was there. It was as if she had never left her side, because everything here had the shadow of Huo Beixi's presence.
I walked up the mountain for a while, recalled the past for a while, and then hurriedly squatted down to break the bamboo shoots. Since this hilltop belonged to Huo Beixi, it naturally belonged to her, and the bamboo shoots also belonged to her.
It was getting dark now, and no one would go up the mountain at this time. She could break the bamboo shoots with confidence.
It wasn't until it was completely dark that Hua Xiali returned to her fourth uncle's house under the moonlight. Her fourth uncle and fourth aunt had indeed had dinner, but they warmed the dinner for her in a pot.
Hua Xiali had dinner and washed herself with hot water from the pot. After that, she went to her cousin Jia Yuxia's room to rest. She lay on the bed and looked at the dark roof. Her mind was filled with Huo Beixi.
However, her resentment about returning to her first life has been reduced a lot. She could not save Huo Beixi, but she could save the rest of her family, so it is not too regretful. It's a pity that she can't be with Huo Beixi in this life, but she can visit him every day and accompany him to prevent him from waiting in the endless darkness.
The next morning, Hua Xia said goodbye to her fourth uncle and aunt and went back. Now she needs to find a warehouse to store bamboo shoots. It needs to be close to the road and there must be no people around, otherwise her fourth uncle He and his fourth aunt often push a cart of bamboo shoots there, which can easily cause misunderstandings among others.
When the shuttle bus drove onto the road between urban and rural areas, Hua Xiali immediately said to the driver, "Master, stop at the village in front, I will get off here."
This village is the closest village to the town. , this place is close to the roadside, which is very convenient. If my fourth uncle and my fourth aunt deliver bamboo shoots here at night, even if someone hears it, they won't suspect anything, because there is a road here and there are many cars passing by.
Hua Xiali went directly to the village cadre of this village and asked if there were any houses in the village that had been abandoned for many years. For the convenience of her children’s future studies, she wanted to buy a house here. It didn’t matter if it was dilapidated, anyway. Can it be demolished and rebuilt?
And she is not afraid of a house that is too old at all.
In this era, which family does not have an elderly person, and whose elderly person did not die at home?
This is human nature and is nothing to worry about.
It seems that every village has a few uninhabited old houses, and this village is also the same.
The village cadre took Hua Xiali to look at several dilapidated old houses. Unexpectedly, there were two neighboring houses close to the roadside. This location was really advantageous.
It can be used to store things now, and it can also be used to open a shop in the future, because it is on the roadside at the junction of urban and rural areas, and rural people will pass by here when entering the city. It can be said that the city entrance is very good. (End of this chapter)
