Chapter 119: The Guest Becomes the Host

But she didn't add too much, so it wouldn't produce too good an effect all at once, otherwise it would arouse other people's suspicion. So she changed slowly, letting everyone see the process of her family's change, and naturally they wouldn't find it strange.

Hua Xiali took a few newspapers from under the coffee table and handed them to Leng Yuye, "We don't have a TV or other things to kill time at home. If you're bored, just read newspapers and magazines! I also read these things occasionally."

Hua Xiali also knew that if her family bought a TV, she would not be able to make money steadily in the future, so she did not plan to buy a TV. She decided that after a few years, when television became popular in their village, she would directly buy a large color TV.

Now many people in the village buy goods from her to make money, so someone will definitely buy these things soon. Anyway, she doesn't want a bunch of people sitting in their living room with their bowls and chopsticks.

Although it is very lively, she is actually a person who prefers quietness and staying quietly.

"Okay." Leng Yuye took the newspaper and started reading it.

In the evening, Hua Xiali got Leng Yuye a new set of toiletries. Her family had stockpiled a lot of daily necessities, so she didn't have to spend money on the expensive ones.

Someone who has been to the wholesale market countless times will naturally know what the price of things should be. The retail prices outside are almost three or four times the wholesale prices.

Leng Yuye took the washbasin that Hua Xiali handed over, and saw what was inside, feeling a little surprised, "Thank you, I'm sorry to trouble you."

"It's a small matter, don't worry about it. Go wash up first, we'll do the same later!" Then Hua Xiali went back to the room upstairs.

In the morning, she met Huo Beixi at the construction site. Huo Beixi told her to go to his house once in the evening no matter what. She didn't know why he wanted her to go there.

She will wash up soon and go to Huo Beixi's house after everyone has gone to bed.

When Leng Yuye was about to fall asleep at night, he suddenly heard the sound of "thump thump thump" of someone coming down the stairs. Although it was very light, he still heard it. Leng Yuye opened the door curiously and saw Hua Xiali coming down the stairs.

At this moment, she was completely different from the daytime. A burgundy velvet headband bound her bangs and the loose hair around her ears, revealing her smooth, white and full forehead. The eyebrows and eyes that were faintly visible under the bangs during the day were now completely exposed without any cover. Her eyebrows were like ink paintings, her eyes were as bright as stars, and she wore pearl earrings on her ears. She looked very elegant.

Hua Xiali was a little surprised when she saw Leng Yuye open the door and come out. She walked so carefully, but did he hear her?

"What are you going to do?" Leng Yuye asked.

Hua Xiali smiled awkwardly, "I... I'll find a place to practice English."

"I happen to be good at English. If you have any questions, you can ask me."

Before Hua Xiali could say anything, Leng Yuye took the English book from her hand, sat down on the sofa, and patted the seat next to him. Hua Xiali hesitated for a moment before walking over and said awkwardly, "Then I'll trouble you."

Half an hour later, Leng Yuye was still full of energy, but Hua Xiali was already yawning. "Leng Yuye, thank you for today. I'm sleepy. I'll go back to my room to rest first. You should go to bed early too!"

Hua Xiali was so sleepy that he returned to his room, put down his English book, and lay down to rest. As for Huo Beixi's house, it was so close that he could go there anytime. It didn't have to be tonight.

I slept until dawn and heard voices outside the courtyard gate. Hua Xiali's room was at the back and the window faced the back. If she wanted to see the door, she could only go to Hua Qiuli's room. But Hua Xiali was not a person who liked to go to other people's rooms. Even if they were her own sisters, she would never go to their room privately.

Hua Xiali packed himself up, went downstairs, and came to the front yard. Through the gate, he saw Leng Yuye helping Zhang Yongfeng move the pig offal from the three-wheeled vehicle. It seemed that he was also a person who could not rest.

"Xia Li, are you up?" Leng Yuye saw Hua Xia Li coming out and walked over.

Hua Xiali nodded. "You are a guest, how can I ask you to work? You will take the bus back home after lunch, why don't you rest for a while?"

"Breakfast is in the pot, go and have it!" Leng Yuye urged.

Hua Xiali raised his eyebrows in surprise. Is he now the host?

She didn't say much after that. She turned around and went to the kitchen. After having breakfast, she came out to see the ingredients Zhang Yongfeng brought back. She knew that there were guests at home, so he brought back more ingredients today.

Today he brought beef, lentils, a white-striped chicken and a white-striped duck. Although white-striped chicken and white-striped duck are not good things, it is 1990 now. These things are different from those in later generations. Unlike those in later generations, they are not sold out after just a few dozen days. They are still edible at this time.

In addition, oyster mushrooms, cucumbers, eggplants, green peppers, and tomatoes are all brought back in whole baskets. Vegetable greenhouses have been built in the past few years, so we can eat summer vegetables in the middle of winter, so it is quite normal to be able to buy cucumbers at this time, but they are expensive. However, Zhang Yongfeng directly wholesales a basket, so it is much cheaper than retail.

And now that the family has money, Zhang Yongfeng is willing to spend money to buy things for the family.

Leng Yuye and Zhang Yongfeng moved the ingredients to the kitchen one basket at a time. Although there were a lot of dishes, their third and fourth uncles would come to buy some, so they would not be able to eat them for a few days.

Hua Xiali took out the dishes for lunch and prepared them. White-striped ducks grow for a short time and have tender meat, so they don't need to be stewed. Just make a braised duck.

Then there are beef stewed with lentils, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, smashed cucumber, stir-fried meat with green peppers, and braised eggplant. Six dishes are enough.

When people are busy, they don't notice the passage of time at all. When they react, they find that a long time has passed. Since Leng Yu had to take a bus after dinner, in order to prevent him from rushing to catch the bus, Hua Xiali started making lunch in advance.

She cooks lunch in the kitchen at home, and the person who makes the halogens does it in the kitchen in the yard. They don't interfere with each other and don't delay anything.

Lunch was ready. Hua Xiali brought the dishes to the table and placed them in order. He also brought out teacups for everyone and poured soda for everyone. Then he went out and told everyone to wash their hands and come over to eat. However, he only called a few people from their own family, but not the people who came to help in the backyard. There was no need to make such a fuss when friends came to visit.

Hua Xiali asked them to eat first, while she went upstairs to pack some return gifts for Leng Yuye. People came to her house with their hands full of gifts, she couldn't let him take nothing back!
