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

Chapter 441 Refreshing and refreshing
"Qiu Li is in elementary school, and everyone is the same, so that's fine. But Chun Li and Xia Li are in high school now, and they always wear those washed-out clothes. I don't know what their classmates think of them."

As Hua's mother spoke, she rubbed her eyes in grievance. She was indeed aggrieved. She had to work hard to take care of three children, farm in the fields, harvest crops, and hand in the public tax. Wasn't she tired?
But Hua Tiefeng not only did not feel sorry for her efforts, but he actually had a mistress outside and gave all his money to her.

Hua Xiali and her two sisters wore new clothes yesterday, the first day of the Lunar New Year, and changed into their usual old clothes today, so the second aunt didn't suspect anything.

Second Aunt's family sat at their house for a while and then left because they were going to Fourth Uncle's house for dinner. Hua Xiali and her family did not go, so they ate at home.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Hua Xiali's family also went out to pay New Year's greetings. It was too far to ride a bicycle, so they left early to take a minibus to the town, and then transfer to the bus to their fourth uncle's house. The other uncles' houses were not far from their fourth uncle's house, so they could go together after arriving there.

In previous years, they would go to visit their grandparents' old house, but this year, Hua's mother went alone. She didn't let Hua Xiali and the other two go, but instead left the three of them at their fourth uncle's house to play.

Because Hua Tiefeng lives in the small mountain village where his grandmother lives, Hua's mother doesn't want the children to know, and she doesn't want Hua Tiefeng to trouble the children. She spends dozens of dollars every month to hire someone to take care of him. Isn't that a good job?
If she were like this, Hua Tiefeng would probably kick her out of the house or starve her to death for the sake of the mistress, right?

What she did was a thousand times better than what Hua Tiefeng did. Hua Tiefeng had no right to say anything to her.

People in the mountains go back to their parents' home on the third day of the Lunar New Year. Jia Yuxia also went back to her parents' home with her husband today. She has been married for only a few months and has no children yet.

She had been living with her husband's family before, and now I heard that she found a job near the high school, and her husband's family has become less critical of her.

In fact, there are really not many parents-in-law who can treat their daughter-in-law as their own daughter. If the daughter-in-law is too powerful, they will complain that she does not take care of the family. If the daughter-in-law takes care of the family, they will complain that she does not make money. No matter what they do, they will not be satisfied.

After Jia Yuxia has worked for a while, they feel that they can no longer control her and will definitely urge her to go home. However, by that time, Jia Yuxia will also understand the fun and benefits of making money, and she will probably not be willing to go home and be a housewife and be controlled by them.

Now there is a secret between Hua Xiali and Jia Yuxia. After Jia Yuxia came, the two of them went outside for a walk. When they came to the bamboo forest on the mountain, Hua Xiali remembered the kitchen of Suoluo Restaurant. The earthen stove required a lot of firewood, so they needed to prepare firewood.

"Cousin, please tell my fourth uncle to help us cut bamboo. He will charge one cent per pound. Just fill a cart with enough bamboo and send it to the Suoluo Restaurant. Otherwise, we will have no firewood. Instead of buying from others, we might as well keep this opportunity for ourselves!"

The density of the bamboo forest on the mountain is too high, so it needs to be sorted out. Moreover, the bamboo grows very fast. If it is not processed, there will be no space for growth.

Jia Yuxia nodded happily. This way her father could have an extra income and he wouldn't have to worry too much about her older brothers not having enough money to get married.

Hua Xiali and his family had lunch at their fourth uncle's house and then went back.

These were the only relatives with whom the family had a good relationship. They visited all of them in one day. If there were any relatives to visit later, Hua Chunli and Hua Qiuli would go. Hua Xiali began to deliver the snails to the Snail House. She tied a bag to the back of her bicycle to show that she was there. The rest were in the space! When they arrived at the yard of the Snail House, Hua Xiali unloaded the snails from her bicycle, and then drew well water to rinse the bag directly. When the water was not too dirty, she poured the snails into the built pool, and then poured the snails in the space into it. Then she drew a few buckets of well water and poured them in to keep the snails.

She had added spiritual spring water to the well before, so these little snails would not die after a period of time. Instead, they would continue to grow, making their meat firmer, more delicious and chewy.

After putting down the little snails, Hua Xiali went out to find a place to sell summer vegetables.

Every day after that, Hua Xiali would deliver snails to the Soluo Restaurant and set up a stall to sell vegetables, earning more than 200 yuan a day.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, school started. Hua Xiali and Hua Chunli each rode their bicycles to school with their quilts. Hua Qiuli attended primary school in the village, which was very convenient.

After all the roommates arrived, they were surprised to find that Hua Xiali had become whiter and more beautiful after not seeing her for a whole winter vacation. They all asked Hua Xiali if she had applied some perfume that they didn't know about.

Hua Xiali smiled embarrassedly, "I didn't put on any perfume, I just covered myself up at home. If I get tanned, I can get my skin white again if I cover myself up for a while."

Hua Xiali got down from his bed and said, "You just arrived and haven't even gotten some water yet. I just got a bottle back. I'll pour each of you a glass!"

In order to improve her study efficiency, she now often drinks spiritual spring water. The thermos today is also filled with spiritual spring water. Considering that they will be roommates for three years, Hua Xiali decided to help them a little and give each of them a teacup of spiritual spring water.

Everyone had just arrived and the beds had not been made yet, so there was indeed no time to get some hot water. So everyone brought teacups and came to Hua Xiali to pour water to drink.

After taking a sip, Wang Jiabei found it was cold. She was a little surprised, "Cold? Xia Li, did you get the wrong water?"

"No, I came back to pour the water and forgot to cover it, so it got cold." Hua Xiali also poured himself a cup and drank it. Seeing this, everyone stopped worrying about whether it was cold or hot and drank it directly.

After drinking it, I felt as if my mind became clearer all of a sudden. I guess boiled water has the effect of refreshing the mind in winter!

Hua Chunli is in the second semester of his senior year, and there are only four months left until the college entrance examination in July. A large countdown is already hung on the blackboard in the classroom, and an invisible pressure hangs over everyone's head.

Hua Chunli lowered his head and worked hard on the mock test paper. He looked up inadvertently and found a boy in front of him looking at him. Hua Chunli then realized that this person was Zhang Yongfeng.

Thinking of her mother's dream, Hua Chunli felt embarrassed, but when she thought that if he was really..., then the gap between them would not be good. There were not many people in the classroom, so Hua Chunli walked over, put her notes on Zhang Yongfeng's desk, and then walked out of the classroom with a calm face.
