Back to the 1990s: Holding the spiritual spring and striving for a well-off life

Chapter 355

Even if she had seen him, it was probably just a quick glance with Huo Beixi when she returned to her parents' home.

"Huo Beixi." Hua Xiali reached out and patted Huo Beixi's tombstone. "I had something to do yesterday and was not in the village, so I didn't come to see you. If I have something to deal with in the future, I will definitely inform you in advance and will never let you worry about me."

"Huo Beixi, I'm really looking forward to our next official meeting. I don't know what we will look like and what age we will be by then. I will definitely recognize you the first time, and I hope you can recognize me the first time. Don't recognize the wrong person and don't mistake others for me, otherwise I will never pay attention to you..."

She was truly happy only when she faced Huo Beixi. Although she couldn't see him or touch him, she knew that he was there, which was the same as being with her.

And one day in the future, they will be reunited.

Hua Xiali spoke in front of Huo Beixi's tombstone for half an hour, saying that the changes outside, housing prices, commodity prices, and news reports made it seem like he had never left, as he knew everything.

When I got home, my family was busy preparing the pig offal.

When Hua Xiali came back, Hua's mother said hurriedly, "Xiali, you just had a long ride in the car, go back to your room and have a good rest!"

"Okay, Mom." Hua Xiali nodded, and then said to Zhang Yongfeng, "Brother-in-law, I need two large water tanks. When can you help me get them back?"

Zhang Yongfeng nodded, "Okay, don't worry!"

Afterwards, Hua Xiali returned to her room. Her room was at the back as usual. Looking back through the window, she seemed to see the tall figure of Huo Beixi standing by the well, looking at this side with a serious look.

In her previous two lives, she hoped that time could be longer and longer, but in this life, she hoped that time could go faster so that she could see Huo Beixi earlier.

I just don’t know if they can continue to be together when I see Huo Beixi again. After all, no one can guarantee anything about the future.

Hua Xiali had spiritual spring water. After she drank a cup of it, she was fully revived. Then she went to the kitchen to help. She also had a share in the braised food. If she did nothing, it would be unfair for her to get a share of the money!

She and Hua Qiuli were the ones who originally made this braised food business together, and now Zhang Yongfeng is involved, which means that after deducting the capital and the wages paid to everyone, the remaining money will be divided equally among the three of them, which is roughly equivalent to being divided equally among the three sisters. Hua's mother, like the third and fourth aunts, only gets a salary.

But now with the help of Third and Fourth Aunts here, she really doesn't have to do anything. And while the braised food is stewing in the pot, no one has to do anything. It only needs to be cut and packed after it's done.

"Xia Li, you've been staying at home all the time. Won't the Jian family say anything to you?" Hua's mother asked worriedly.

How could a married daughter always stay in her parents' home? Hua Chunli was a live-in son-in-law, but Hua Xiali was not. He was the only son in the Jian family, so it was impossible for him to be a live-in son-in-law.

"It's okay, Mom. It's only five days a week. You're not at home every day. If the Jane family doesn't even agree to such a small thing, then I really have to reconsider this relationship!" Hua Xiali said lightly.

Her legs are on her body, she can go wherever she wants, and there is no way to restrict her personal freedom. "Why? You still want to divorce Jian Nan?" Hua's mother glanced at Hua Xiali, her eyes gleaming with cold arrows.

Hua Xiali shrugged helplessly, "No."

Hua Xiali didn't want to talk about such things with her mother anymore, so she took the basket and went out. This season was the season for eating bamboo shoots, and now she couldn't find anyone to help her pick bamboo shoots, so she could only pick some by herself and see how the situation would be later!
Knowing that the water upstream of the river bend was quite deep, Hua Xiali crossed the river directly from the rocks downstream. When he reached the other side, he walked into the bamboo forest.

He did not walk directly upstream, but started to pick bamboo shoots whenever he saw them, picking them as he walked forward. Every time he filled a basket, Hua Xiali would put the shoots into the space.

Breaking bamboo shoots is a very healing thing. The rustling sound can make people forget their worries and improve their mood.

Hua Xiali had a very full meal at Jian's house in the morning, so he did not go home for lunch at noon. It was not until his stomach growled with hunger that he peeled the last basket of bamboo shoots and carried them back.

Walking to the stone where everyone washed clothes, Hua Xiali released some spiritual spring water, then put the bamboo shoots in the basket into the space. After the fish swam over, she directly scooped up the fish with the basket. She planned to raise fish, so she had to catch some fish to cultivate. She also had to find a way to replace the rice fields in front of the house, so that it would be convenient for her to engage in aquaculture.

Some species of fish are about to lay eggs in this season. She collects them and then raises them with spiritual spring water, and she can harvest a lot of small fish fry.

Hua Xiali suddenly remembered the heavy rain in two years. By then, all the rice fields in front of the house will be connected into a vast ocean, and all the fish will run away. So for the time being, he can't raise fish in the rice fields. He can only raise them in large water tanks at home. After the plum rain season is over, he can raise fish in the rice fields.

Hua Xiali put the fish into the space, leaving only two for dinner, and then went back with the basket. When he came to the tree that was full of wood ears, he found that it was still full of wood ears. Hua Xiali reached out and picked the wood ears off, then put out the peeled bamboo shoots, and went back with the heavy basket.

After everyone went out to sell the braised food, Hua Xiali washed the bamboo shoots, blanched them, put them directly into the braised soup, and then put them on the stove to braise.

Bamboo shoots are delicious and taste good no matter how they are cooked, but they must be blanched and boiled for a few minutes first, otherwise some will taste bitter or astringent. This may be the reason why people don’t eat bamboo shoots!

The bamboo shoots were cooked on the stove, so Hua Xiali didn't have to worry about it. He spread the black fungus on a winnowing basket and then put it in the yard to dry. It is safer to eat black fungus after it is dried.

Then she processed the fish. She kept two grass carps. Although they were not too big, weighing about two or three pounds, two pounds was enough for several of them to have a meal.

Hua Xiali cuts the grass carp into pieces, drains the water, and then deep-fries it in a pan until it is dry. Then he puts it back into the pan, adds seasonings and stir-fryes evenly to make spicy fish pieces.

If you don't fry it, the fish will break apart easily.

When everyone came back from selling braised food in the evening, Zhang Yongfeng brought back a large water jar for Hua Xiali, "Xia Li, where should we put this large water jar?"

Hua Xiali pointed to the yard and said, "Let's put it next to the well first. I have to clean the big water tank tomorrow!"
