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

Chapter 380 Going Back for the New Year
As for planting sugarcane in Chenzhuang next year, Hua Xiali had previously found an uncle who planted sugarcane in Huazhuang and asked him how much he could earn a year. The taste of the sugarcane he planted was very ordinary, and the area was not very large, so after a year of hard work, he actually did not make much money. So Hua Xiali negotiated with him and invited him to join her sugarcane planting base with an annual salary of 4,000 yuan to plant sugarcane for her. He should not sell the sugarcane he harvested this year, and use it as sugarcane seeds for her next year.

Come and help Hua Xiali plant sugarcane. Regardless of whether the sugarcane can make money or not, he can get 4,000 yuan, which is much more profitable than planting sugarcane himself. He works hard for a year to plant sugarcane, and then he has to sell it to recover the funds. If he can't sell it, he will lose money.

Hua Xiali was given the job of planting sugarcane, and he only cared about planting it, not about selling it.

Although the sugarcane he grew was not tasty, Hua Xiali had spiritual spring water that could improve his sugarcane variety, so he didn't have to worry about the taste of the sugarcane at all.

Hua Xiali first chopped a piece of sugarcane, cut off the tail of the sugarcane on the top to save for seeds, then peeled the sugarcane and said to Xiaodong, "Xiaodong, hold on to that end, hold on tight!"

Xiaodong reached out and grabbed the sugarcane that Hua Xiali had already cut, and smiled at Hua Xiali, "Mom, I've got it."

Hua Xiali raised the sickle in his hand and with a 'snap', he chopped down the peeled sugarcane. After that, the two of them worked together to cut three sections of sugarcane. Hua Xiali asked him to give one section each to his aunt and father, and then Hua Xiali continued to chop.

She will not be spending the New Year in Huazhuang this year, so the sugarcane has to be cut in advance. She will take one third to the provincial capital and keep the remaining two thirds for her family.

She didn't want too many outsiders to eat things grown with spiritual spring water. The reason she took one-third of it to the Jian family in the provincial capital was mainly to let Jian's father and mother taste it. This way, when the sugarcane was grown next year, she wouldn't have to worry about sales.

Hua Xiali was chopping trees vigorously when his sickle was suddenly snatched away. Hua Xiali looked up and saw that it was Jian Nan. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Xiao Liang and Xiao Le are both asleep?"

"Yes, let me do it!" Jian Nan looked at the sugarcane Hua Xiali was cutting, and then looked at the tall sugarcane standing next to him, "Should we cut it close to the ground?"

Hua Xiali nodded, "Yes."

Then she stepped aside and let Jian Nan cut the sugarcane. There wasn't much sugarcane, so Jian Nan finished cutting it in a short while. He looked at Hua Xiali and asked, "What do we do next?"

"Just move the sugarcane into the house and put it there." Anyway, the middle-aged uncle had some sugarcane seeds left, so she didn't need to keep any.

Seeing that Hua Xiali was about to reach out to move the sugarcane, Jian Nan hurriedly said, "Don't worry about it, I'll do it. Don't cut your hand."

Hua Xiali just glanced at him and didn't listen to him. She had the spiritual spring water, so how could she be afraid of a little scratch? And didn't she do it herself when she needed to tear off the leaves of the sugarcane in the summer before?
Hua Xiali collected the cut sugarcane tails, which had buds on them and could be kept for planting. She took the sugarcane tails to the woodshed, put them against the corner of the wall, and covered them with dry straw.

The temperature inside the woodshed is not as cold as outside, so the sugarcane buds will not be frozen.

Jian Nan moved all the sugar canes to the kitchen and placed them on the floor. Hua Xiali picked up a piece of sugar cane and split it in half. Seeing this, Jian Nan asked in confusion, "Wife, what are you doing?"

"The sugarcane is too long to fit in the car. If you divide it into one-meter-long sections, it will fit in the car. Please help me take the sugarcane back first, so that I don't have to carry too much stuff when I go back for the New Year." Hua Xiali explained.

"How many do you need?" Jian Nan asked. Hua Xiali thought for a moment and said, "Fifty!"

If the fifty sugarcanes are divided into two, that would be one hundred sugarcanes, which would weigh several hundred kilograms, enough for everyone to have a taste. She can guarantee that as long as everyone has tasted the sugarcane, they will never forget the sugarcane she planted.

And once the sugarcane she grows becomes popular, there will definitely be fewer people suffering from strange diseases. By doing this, she can be considered to have done a good thing.

After Jian Nan divided the sugar canes, Hua Xiali tied them up into bundles and carried Jian Nan to the car. "Jian Nan, take the sugar canes back tomorrow. Remember to put them in our room. Don't take them out for the time being."

There is only a small amount of sugarcane, and she doesn't want it to be wasted. This is the key to whether the sugarcane can be sold next year.

Jian Nan returned with a cart of sugarcane the next morning, while Xiaodong and Hua Xiali stayed in Huazhuang for the winter vacation and would return to the provincial capital at the end of December.

Every time Hua Xiali waited until Xiaoliang and Xiaole fell asleep, she would take Xiaodong out to play, to the vegetable fields and sugarcane fields that were being reclaimed, and tell him what these lands were used for. In the future, her property would be inherited by the children, so it would be a good idea to take the children to learn about it now, in case she suddenly disappeared one day and the children wouldn't even know what she had.

As for the Lingquan space, that was something she took with her, so there was no need to say anything about it. It was useless to say anything about it, and it couldn't be transferred to anyone else.

Even if she could, she would have to leave something for herself!

You can't let yourself be left with nothing, what difference would that make from the life when you raised Wang Junhuan and Wang Junli?

Hua Chunli did not come back after the winter vacation, but stayed in the city center to help Zhang Yongfeng. He did not come back until the end of January with Hua's mother and Hua Yun. Xiaodong then played happily with Hua Yun.

Although Hua Xiali had not given Hua Yun the spiritual spring water for some time, Hua Xiali had gone to Zhang Yongfeng before and added spiritual spring water to the well, so Hua Yun was continuing to regulate his body, and now he had recovered better than before. The villagers found it amazing when they saw him running around the village.

The Hua family must have spent a lot of money, otherwise how could a child with cerebral palsy recover so well and now look no different from a healthy child.

Hua Qiuli has been in charge of making braised food at home, so there is no need to clean the house specially. Just a simple cleaning and it can be used for the New Year.

Because Hua Xiali was going to take his children to the provincial capital to celebrate the New Year, Hua's mother killed the poultry raised at home early and asked Hua Xiali to take them to the provincial capital.

There is no place to raise poultry in the provincial capital, so we can only buy them at the vegetable market. Can the ones we buy at the vegetable market be as delicious as the ones we raise at home? Hua Qiuli has been making stewed food at home, and the poultry in the yard is also carefully raised.

Everyone loaded the things into the car together. Hua's mother Duohua Xia Li said, "Xia Li, you don't have to rush back in the first month of the year. We will visit your grandmother's relatives. You take good care of the children. It won't be too late to come back in the spring."
