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

Chapter 364 Try More

After Jian Nan came, he also hired an electrician to replace all the aging wires in the house with new and good ones. Otherwise, what would happen if there were so many electric fans in the house and the aging wires could not be powered?
The braised food has been made since March, and it is already mid-July, a total of four months have passed. Hua Xiali has already received 50,000 yuan, which means that he can get a little more than 10,000 yuan a month. The main reason is that there are too few people. In this life, without Hua Si Nian and Lu Xiaozhi to help, the output cannot be as large as in the previous life.

After Jian Nan sent Xiaodong here, he did not go back immediately, but stayed to play with Xiaodong for a few days. Since he was here, Hua Xiali asked him to go out and find a construction team to build a house for her.

Of the 300-square-meter residential land, 200 square meters will be used to build a 600-square-meter three-story building, and the remaining 100 square meters will be used for yard activities. Hua Xiali now has two dividends, one for braised food and the other for snails, so a 300-square-meter building can be built. It doesn't matter if the money runs out, because next month he will get more than 10,000 yuan, so there's nothing to worry about.

Children seem to have a special liking for water. Hua Xiali still remembers her birthday in 1991. Many children were playing in the water in the river bend. If she hadn't met Huo Beixi, her birthday would have been everyone's death anniversary. She didn't expect that her birthday would become Huo Beixi's death anniversary. Huo Beixi saved so many children, but in the end no one visited his grave. Huo Beixi's death was so unworthy.

So in order to prevent Xiaodong from secretly going to the river bend to play in the water with the children in the village, Hua Xiali would remind Xiaodong several times a day. Even when Xiaodong's ears were calloused, she would still remind him. Her belly was so big now that it was inconvenient for her to move. If something happened to Xiaodong, she would not be able to save him.

However, in order to satisfy Xiaodong's curiosity, Hua Xiali took Xiaodong to fish upstream when it was cool in the morning, and took Xiaodong to swim in the shallow water downstream when it was hot in the afternoon. However, Jian Nan accompanied him every time, and it was mainly Jian Nan who played with Xiaodong, while Hua Xiali sat in the shade of the tree to rest, or watched Xiaodong play.

After taking Xiaodong out to play more often, he lost interest and naturally would not sneak to the river bend anymore.

Otherwise, Hua Xiali would be unable to do anything for the entire summer vacation and could only keep an eye on Xiaodong.

Hua Xiali would also take Xiaodong to the rice field in front of the house to catch small fish at night. When the flashlight was shone, the small fish and shrimps were huddled together, which was particularly cute. Where had the children in the city seen such a scene? Xiaodong jumped up on the ridge of the field with excitement.

Hua Xiali let him use the small fish net to catch as much as he could. He did not force him. Anyway, it was just to let him experience the happiness of being a country child.

Seeing long eels lying on the mud, Xiaodong exclaimed, "Snake, there is a snake, mom, be careful..."

Hua Xiali screamed in fright and ran quickly. The ridge of the field was thin and narrow, and he slipped and was about to fall into the rice field. Jian Nan quickly reached out, hugged Hua Xiali's waist and pulled him back.

Hua Xiali's heart skipped a beat when he bumped into Jian Nan's chest. It took a while for his heartbeat to slowly calm down. In the darkness, he said to Jian Nan, "Thank you."

If Jian Nan hadn't grabbed her, she would have fallen into the field and who knows what would have happened!

Her belly is indeed bigger than that of the average pregnant woman, so she needs to be more careful than others.

"Xiaodong, why are you yelling? That's obviously an eel, how could it be a snake? What if you scare your mother?" Jian Nan lowered his voice and scolded.

Hua Xiali patted Jian Nan's shoulder unhappily, "Why did you scold him? He has never seen an eel, and he didn't mean to do it. Now that he sees it, he recognizes it, right?" "Wife, I was wrong." Jian Nan said hurriedly, and then said to Xiao Dong, "Xiao Dong, no matter what happens in the future, you must not shout. Even if there is a snake, you must remind your mother quietly. You can't shout and scare people. Do you understand?"

"I understand." Xiaodong looked at Hua Xiali and felt guilty.

"Mom is fine, Xiaodong doesn't need to feel guilty." Hua Xiali reached out and touched Xiaodong's head, saying, "But your dad is right. No matter what happens in the future, don't yell or make a fuss. You should be calm and patient when things happen."

"Wife, how are you?" Jian Nan asked worriedly, "Do you want me to take you back first, and then come over to help Xiaodong catch these things later."

"I'm fine. No need to go back." Hua Xiali took the fire tongs from Xiaodong's hand and said, "Look at me."

Then she shone her flashlight around the rice field. When she saw the long eel, she reached over with her pliers and grabbed the eel firmly. "You have to be quick, accurate, ruthless and steady to catch the eel successfully."

In the life when she raised Wang Junhuan and Wang Junli, she relied on catching eels to make money to support them through elementary school. If I remember correctly, eels could be sold for four yuan per pound at that time, which was not cheaper than pork.

It's just that the people here really don't like to eat this thing, otherwise, with so much meat in the rice fields, who would be short of meat? Others take it to other places to sell.

"Wow, mom is so great." Xiaodong jumped and clapped his hands, cheering. This little guy gave very good emotional value. At least under his praise, Hua Xiali wanted to show off his "talent".

Then Hua Xiali began to show her skills, clamping one baby at a time, her movements were very quick and skillful. Jian Nan watched from the side, terrified and worried about her stomach.

"Wife, let me try it." Jian Nan looked at it and felt itchy in his heart, wanting to have a try.

"Here you go." Hua Xiali handed the pliers in his hand to Jian Nan, and then shone the flashlight in the field, "Here is one, hurry up."

So Jian Nan stretched out a pair of pincers, and the eel slid away with a flick of its tail. Jian Nan looked at Hua Xiali with some hurt. Hua Xiali smiled awkwardly, "It doesn't matter that you haven't been to the countryside and don't have much experience. Try again. There is this in places with water. You will definitely succeed if you try a few more times."

With the encouragement of his wife, Jian Nan regained his confidence and was eager to give it a try. After trying for a long time, he finally succeeded once. However, when he put the eel into the wooden barrel, the eel still escaped.

The three people walked slowly and soon came to the edge of the canal. It was summer now, the climate was hot, the temperature was high, and the water evaporated quickly, so the water in the canal was not deep, just a shallow layer, but no one knew how deep the mud underneath was.

Hua Xiali shone the flashlight and found a lot of crayfish. The crayfish must have noticed them and were moving backwards in the flashlight. Hua Xiali quickly bent down to grab some, but Jian Nan hurriedly took the tongs from her hand and said, "You shine the light and I'll catch them."
