Chapter 153 Hua Qiuli is in trouble
Huo Beixi was in charge of growing wood ear mushrooms, so Hua Xiali didn't have to worry about it. Huo Beixi was very capable and there was no need to remind him of everything.
After returning home, Hua Xiali spread the fungus on a winnowing basket to dry, while she went to the well to wash shepherd's purse. There was a lot of dirt at the roots of shepherd's purse. After soaking it in water for a while, all the dirt sank to the bottom of the water, and then it was much easier to wash.
In March, all kinds of flowers are in full bloom. Pink and white flowers are blooming in Hua Xiali's yard and his uncle's yard. The pink ones are peach blossoms and the white ones are pear blossoms.
The fruit trees I got from my fourth uncle last year were planted less than a year ago. They have only sprouted tiny leaves now. It will probably take another year or two for them to bloom.
When Hua Xiali planted fruit trees last year, she left a few for her new home. She found some time and planted a peach tree and a persimmon tree in the yard, so that she could have peaches in the summer and persimmons in the winter. She also built a grape trellis, so that she can eat watermelons under the trellis in the future in the cool air. How enjoyable!
A few days later, the professor of mycology brought his students to Huazhuang. It was not easy to artificially cultivate wood ear mushrooms, so Huo Beixi arranged for the male comrades to live in his own home and the female comrades to live in Sun Ping's empty house.
As for Hua Xiali's empty house, Huo Beixi would never arrange for anyone else to live in it on his own initiative, especially since it was their wedding house. It was even more impossible for him to let anyone else live in it. You could say he was selfish or something, but the meaning of a wedding house was different and no one could be arranged to live in it. Besides, there were other empty houses in the village.
Because the fungus was discovered by Hua Xiali and was handed over to the village by Hua Xiali, the fungus growing greenhouse was set up in Huazhuang. Huo Beixi originally wanted Hua Xiali to be the manager of the fungus greenhouse, but thinking that she already had so much to do and was so tired, she didn't even mention this matter.
Instead, a boy who graduated from high school in the flower farm was appointed as the manager of the wood ear greenhouse. In addition, each farm was assigned an employee to work in the wood ear greenhouse. If the wood ear business is good in the future, they can build wood ear greenhouses in other farms.
Hua Xiali did not participate in these things the whole time, because she wanted to wait. She wanted to see whether the wood ear could grow out. After the wood ear could grow out successfully, she would quietly provide some spiritual spring water to assist. When the wood ear had not grown out yet, she would use the spiritual spring water. No one knew what would grow under the stimulation of the spiritual spring water.
After the fungus greenhouse was built, the professor took the students back. After all, it takes a long time for the fungus to grow, and they couldn't wait here forever because it would be a waste of time. The professor asked the greenhouse manager to call him when he found that the fungus had grown, and he would come back then.
After the professors and students left, Hua Xiali would occasionally go to the fungus greenhouse to check on the situation, because it was she who discovered the fungus and it was she who suggested planting it. Huo Beixi told the boy who managed the fungus greenhouse that Hua Xiali could go and see it whenever she wanted and asked him to fully cooperate with her.
Maybe she has made some new discoveries!
The weather was getting warmer, and Hua Xiali felt that there should be bamboo shoots on the mountain. After arranging the things at hand, he went directly to his fourth uncle's village and climbed up the mountain behind it that belonged to him.
There were indeed a lot of bamboo shoots sprouting on the mountain, but they were pointed and small. It would be a pity to pick them now as there were too few bamboo shoots. However, bamboo shoots can grow very tall in a day, so if you miss it, you will miss it. So Hua Xiali decided to go with the flow and pick them whenever he came across ones of the right size.
At this time, families who planted tea trees had already begun to pick the first crop of tea leaves. Fourth uncle's family also planted a small plot of tea trees. Hua Xiali asked fourth uncle to save two kilograms of first crop tea leaves for her when the time comes. She would buy them at the market price and would definitely not let fourth uncle suffer a loss.
Of course, Fourth Uncle is now working in Hua Xiali's vegetable garden. He and another person take turns to look after the garden and do their own work. After all, it is six acres of vegetable garden. If they are all destroyed by others, the loss will be huge, and they cannot afford to pay it with their wages.
Although they are relatives, we must deal with the matter objectively. We cannot exempt our niece from compensation for the losses she has caused to others. After all, they had already signed employment contracts before they started working.
Hua Xiali went to the reservoir again. Perhaps because water was released for spring plowing, the riverbed in the middle of the reservoir was now exposed, and one could walk directly to the mountain opposite.
Every time Hua Xiali circled around the reservoir, she never went to the opposite mountain because there was no way to go there. Now that she could go directly to the opposite mountain, she walked over. Unexpectedly, the exposed riverbed was very dry and hard, just like walking on a flat road.
Hua Xiali walked to the foot of the mountain on the opposite side, and then began to wander along the foot of the mountain. The distance she walked was determined by the curvature of the mountain, but she also received more freshwater clams.
The big reservoir became two ponds after the riverbed was exposed. However, the water inside should still be quite deep, because she didn't see any fish splashing in the water. It seems that it will take some time for the water creatures to come and "rescue" the drowning fish.
Otherwise, it would be a shame to let so many big fish die in the sun.
At this time, aquatic resources are abundant. Even if the fish have dried up, as long as it rains and there is water in the reservoirs and rivers again, fish will appear again. It is magical.
Hua Xiali wandered around the reservoir and then returned to her fourth uncle's house. Otherwise, she would not be able to go home in her dirty state!
The next morning, before Hua Xiali went home, he told his fourth uncle that the bamboo shoots could be kept at home as before, and the director of the pig farm would come and take them away every now and then, so they didn't need to worry about these things.
In the morning, Hua Xiali just passed by the brigade headquarters and heard Huo Beixi calling him from the window. His voice sounded a little anxious. Hua Xiali did not dare to take it lightly. He ran to the window and looked at Huo Beixi worriedly, "What happened?"
"Hua Qiuli had an accident at school and is in the hospital. You should go home quickly to pack some things for her. I'll sort out the things I have at hand and come to find you." Huo Beixi said hurriedly.
Hua Xiali was stunned when he heard this, but then he reacted, turned around and ran to the village. After returning home as quickly as possible, he ran into Hua Qiuli's room and packed the daily necessities she would need during her hospitalization.
"Mom, the school called and said Qiu Li had some problems and was hospitalized. You don't have to worry at home. I'll go to the hospital to check the situation and call you when the time comes."
Hua Xiali also knew that the whole village would soon know about this matter because there were other village cadres in the brigade headquarters and they would definitely tell others about it. So there was no point in hiding it from Hua's mother and she might as well tell her directly.
