Huo De couldn't help but pinch her face: "Maybe I can't make as much money as you."
"It's okay, my husband is so handsome, he deserves me to support you."
Xiangnan raised his chin teasingly, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
"Okay, my wife will support me."
Xiangnan made up his mind and started to act. Huo Yun was at home helping to irrigate the fields. When he came back, Xiangnan asked him, "Do you know whose bamboo grove at the entrance of our village belongs to?"
"It's ours. What does sister-in-law need bamboo for?" Huo Yun said.
Those who came later than their family did not get any mountain, but only a bamboo forest.
Bamboo is of little use and difficult to burn, so it is usually cut down to make clotheslines or weave bamboo baskets, shoulder poles, baskets, etc. They can be sold for very little money, but everyone can make them.
"I want to build a place to raise chickens and surround it with a bamboo fence. Can you make one?"
"Sure, sure. It's totally possible. My dad is the best at it. I'll go back and chop bamboo with him now. I'll bring it back when it's done. What size piece of land do you want?"
"We need to measure it and circle out some more mountains in the area behind."
"That should be quite a lot. I'll have Dad cut down all the bamboo in the back. When my second and third brothers come back, you can have them measure the circumference."
After saying this, Huo Yun went home to chop bamboo.
Not long after lunch, Zhou Xiumei came over with Zhang Dalei and two children, carrying several pounds of apples and a can of milk.
Hood has a leg injury and hasn't come to see the doctor yet.
"Aunt Zhou, it's fine if you bring apples, but why did you also buy milk? Save it for Dabao and Erbao. We don't do gift-giving." Xiangnan refused.
"Your man is injured, so you have to give him some gifts. You can't come empty-handed."
Although Zhou Xiumei felt that Xiangnan's flowers were stuck in cow dung, she was somewhat disgusted with the eldest old man in the Huo family.
But after all, he is a man recognized by Xiangnan, and he is also very good to Xiangnan, so I have to send something to visit him.
"Why are you being so polite to me? Come on, come inside and sit down. I'll let you see my man so you don't always dislike him."
Xiangnan pulled Zhou Xiumei into the house.
Zhang Dalei, Dabao and Erbao followed behind.
As soon as Zhou Xiumei entered the room, she saw a man with great aura, sitting there like a big leader.
He looks... oh, so handsome, no one in this area is as handsome as him.
People say that Li Yousheng from Dayun Village is good-looking, but he is not as good as the man from Xiangnan.
Zhou Xiumei had long forgotten what Huo Mengxiong's eldest son looked like.
"Hubby, Aunt Zhou and Brother Da Lei are here to see you. Brother Da Lei and you went to the same elementary school together, and he said he has an impression of you."
"I remember him very well. Back then he was a good student and very handsome, but he just didn't like to talk."
Zhang Dalei was also stunned when he saw Huo De. He touched his head and said, "He was quite handsome back then, but not this handsome."
His facial features seemed to be the same, yet seemed to have changed. Now... he didn't even dare to say much in front of him.
Zhou Xiumei looked very happy. Xiangnan, this dead girl, was really lucky.
Huo De nodded, greeting Zhou Xiumei: "Please take a seat."
Zhou Xiumei sat down, looked at him and asked, "Does your foot still hurt? How long will it take to recover?
This official is really different. Even lying in bed unable to move, he looks so majestic. Oh, the more I see him, the more energetic he becomes."
Xiangnan covered his mouth and laughed. A few days ago, he was still disgusted with the other person, saying that he was a thirty-year-old man.
Now he praises me as soon as we meet.
Huo De glanced up at her and answered Zhou Xiumei's question: "You will be able to get out of bed and walk around in a few days. It will take about a month to fully recover."
"It's fine as long as you can get better. It's fine as long as you can get better. Our Da Lei said that we went to the same elementary school as you, and you had very good grades back then."
Zhou Xiumei pushed her son.
Zhang Dalei looked at Huo De, who didn't dare to speak, and just chuckled, "We were in the same elementary school back then. You and Xiang Jing were in the same class, and he often praised you."
Huo De said apologetically, "I've been away for too long. I don't remember a lot of things from my childhood."
"It's... normal. We didn't know each other at that time."
Although they were from the same village, Huo De had been a loner since he was young and was not talkative. He hardly knew his classmates, let alone those from a different class.
"If...if the college entrance examination had been resumed by then, you would definitely have been able to get into university."
Huo De said calmly: "Thank you, I later repeated my studies and graduated from college."
Zhou Xiumei said in surprise, "You are a college student. No wonder you can be the leader at such a young age."
