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

Jian Nan nodded, "Don't worry, I won't say a word more."

"Xiaodong, eat slowly and don't burn yourself." Hua Xiali reminded him, then took the fish that Jian Nan had prepared to the kitchen. After serving the braised soup, he began to cook the fish.

She didn't make it too complicated. She simply cut the grass carp into pieces and put the whole thing into the pickled vegetable soup. It would still be tasty if it was stewed a little longer.

There were quite a lot of crucian carps, so we cooked them separately. We made one dish, crucian carp stewed with tofu, and another dish, braised crucian carp. Crucian carp has many bones, which is very dangerous for children to eat, so we just let the children eat big grass carp when the time comes.

After eating the bamboo shoots, Jian Nan came to the kitchen with an empty bowl. Seeing that Hua Xiali had already prepared the dishes, he went behind the stove to help light the fire.

In fact, he shouldn't let a pregnant woman be so busy, but his cooking skills are not as good as Hua Xiali's, so he can only help her.

After everyone came back from selling the braised food, they sat together to eat. Zhang Yongfeng held Hua Yun on his lap. Now Hua Yun could sit up and no longer had to lie down all day like before, and no one could hold him.

But Hua Yun couldn't eat everything like everyone else for the time being, so Hua Xiali prepared egg custard and minced meat soup for him. Zhang Yongfeng fed Hua Yun while eating his own meal.

Hua Xiali picked up a few pieces of fish for Xiaodong and reminded him, "You must eat slowly. If you eat something hard, spit it out. It's a fish bone. If you swallow it, it may slip through your throat and cut your intestines. In serious cases, it may even cause death. So you must eat slowly."

As he spoke, Hua Xiali couldn't help but sigh.

Jian Nan asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"

"I didn't think of it today. I should have made fish balls with fish meat, so that Xiaodong wouldn't have to worry about getting fish bones stuck when eating them." Hua Xiali said helplessly.

She didn't think about this matter for a moment, but her space still had the fish she had collected from the reservoir. Next week it would be her turn to go back and accompany Xiaodong, and she would then make white, tender and smooth fish balls for him.

When she was raising Wang Junhuan and Wang Junli, she would try her best to learn what they wanted to eat and then cook it for them. Now that it was her own son's turn, she was naturally willing to cook for him all the delicious food she knew how to cook. As for what she couldn't cook, there shouldn't be any, after all, there was no way there could be anyone in this world who had lived life after life like her, lived for so many years, and experienced so many things.

"It's okay, Xiaodong, just eat slowly, nothing will happen, don't think too much about it." Jian Nan comforted.

When everyone was about to finish their meal, Hua Xiali said, "Mom, I plan to buy a homestead in the village and build a house, so that when I come back in the future, I will have a place to live. Also, you, Big Sister, and Qiuli should divide the house, and apply for a homestead for Qiuli, and build a house for her. This will give her confidence, so that she will have a way out in the future, whether it is work or marriage."

Hua Xiali cannot apply for a residential plot this time because her household registration has long been moved to the Jian family, but she can buy residential plots and build a house. In the future, when she is no longer living here, the residential plot and the demolition compensation of the house can be left to her two children.

However, she had to write a will that clearly stated how much share each child had, to avoid the children getting into trouble over some personal gain.

Hua's mother thought about it and felt that it was right. Hua Qiuli was already 21 years old this year, and it was indeed time for her to get married. In addition, girls in their countryside got married quite early, and few people got married in their twenties. So it was time to prepare for Hua Qiuli's affairs. If she waited until she got married, she would not be able to apply for a homestead. Hua's mother nodded, "Chunli will have to stay at home for another day tomorrow, so let's ask the village cadres to come over tomorrow to preside over the division of the family! It's better to divide the family, so that other things can be arranged."

Hua Xiali was relieved to see that Hua's mother did not hesitate. This year was already 96, and it was time to prepare things in advance.

The three sisters each built a house, and when the house is demolished in the future, each will receive a demolition payment. The money will not be mixed together, so naturally there will be no conflicts.

The main reason is that by that time, everyone will have children, and with so many people, conflicts are likely to arise, so it is better to arrange things now.

At night, after falling asleep, Hua Xiali said to Jian Nan across Xiaodong, "I asked you to go to the provincial capital to investigate those two people. When you have sufficient evidence, send the evidence to me."

The person who married Wang Liang in this life was not her, but Hua Qingmei, so she had no right to make decisions for Hua Qingmei. Whether or not to sue Wang Liang for bigamy and get back her losses depended on Hua Qingmei's opinion.

So all she had to do was for Jian Nan to help her get evidence of Wang Liang's bigamy.

"How did those two people offend you?" Jian Nan asked curiously.

"Don't worry about these things, just investigate their affairs." Hua Xiali closed her eyes after saying that. These things were Hua Qingmei's affairs, and she would not tell her affairs without Hua Qingmei's consent.

The next morning, Hua's mother called the village cadres and divided the house. Hua Chunli's homestead had been applied for when she got married, so she didn't need to apply for it now. Hua Xiali wanted to buy a homestead, so some extra square meters were bought for Hua Chunli and Hua Qiuli. In this way, the three sisters owned 300 square meters of homestead, just like in previous lives, and could build large houses.

But there is not enough money to build three big houses now. It is not possible to ask Jian Nan to pay for building houses for the three sisters and Hua's mother, right?

We can only wait for a few more months of making braised food until everyone has saved enough money for building a house, and then we can start building the house.

By the afternoon, Jian Nan still didn't want to leave, but he had to work the next morning and Xiaodong had to go to school. If he still didn't leave, he would have to drive at night again. Hua Xiali would naturally worry about him. After all, the children were still young and could not live without the protection of their parents. Moreover, she would most likely entrust the two children to Jian Nan in the future.

So Jiannan must live well.

Hua Xiali had no choice but to say that he had something to do at his fourth uncle's house and asked for his ride. Jian Nan had to leave early. Sitting in Jian Nan's car, Hua Xiali looked at the scenery outside the window that kept receding, with a dazed expression.

Are you still buying a vegetable plot?
Are big companies still being built?

She went back to the time when she was pregnant in her first life. She was going to give birth in a few months, so it was really too late to do these things. Secondly, she didn't have that much money now. The money they earned from making braised food had not been divided yet. Even if it was divided, it would not be enough to do so many things. Was she going to the bank to borrow another 50,000 yuan?
Thinking of this, Hua Xiali couldn't help but shook his head again. Forget it for now. Let's consider these things after the baby is born safely! (End of this chapter)
