Chapter 175 Harvesting Rice
She is not someone like Wang Liang, who can juggle between two or more women.
Who knows how many women Wang Liang had found during the more than ten years he was out there in his previous life, and who knows how many women he had found during the more than ten years he was out there with Tao Liyang?
If you ask a restless man like him to stay with a woman, can he do it?
Moreover, after Wang Liang got cancer in his previous life, Tao Liyang did not treat him, but sent him back directly to find his two sons. If Wang Liang was really loyal to Tao Liyang, Tao Liyang should not have ignored him, right?
Leng Yuye's pupils trembled a little, then he lowered his head and sat there blankly. He didn't even reach out to take the box that Hua Xiali handed over. Hua Xiali put the box on the coffee table and pulled Huo Beixi upstairs.
Next, let Leng Yuye digest it on his own. Just because he likes Hua Xiali doesn't mean Hua Xiali must like him. After all, feelings should be mutual. One-sided feelings will not lead to a good life.
Arriving at the room, Huo Beixi sat at the end of the bed, picked up Hua Xiali and put her on his lap, pinched her chin and kissed her. Hua Xiali was a little embarrassed, struggling, and making a "wuwu" sound from her mouth. Huo Beixi moved to her cheek and whispered in her ear, "Do you want Leng Yuye to hear it so that you will give up completely?"
Hua Xiali suddenly didn't dare to make any sound. How embarrassing it would be if others heard it!
Although it was a newly built house, the sound insulation was not very good. One night she heard strange noises coming from her eldest sister and brother-in-law's room.
After a while, Huo Beixi put his arms around Hua Xiali's waist and looked at her deeply, "If we weren't engaged, would I have no chance to be with you?"
"What are you thinking about?" Hua Xiali poked his shoulder. "Even if we weren't engaged, weren't we still together?"
He is a college graduate and he looks good. Apart from being a little cold, there is nothing wrong with him. Why is he so unconfident?
He's just ten years older than her, what's the big deal?
If we talk about age, is she an old lady in her past and present lives? Is she suffering from low self-esteem? It's no big deal. As long as she doesn't think about her past life, she is just an ordinary 20-year-old girl.
After a while, the two went downstairs and saw Leng Yuye still sitting on the sofa. Hua Xiali was a little surprised. She thought Leng Yuye should have gone back, but she didn't expect that he was still there.
It seemed that his mental strength was many times stronger than she had imagined.
If someone's confession fails, they will either be angry or sad, but they will definitely leave instead of sitting here. Maybe it's because Leng Yuye has encountered a lot of things in his work and his character has been tempered!
When it was almost time for dinner, Uncle San came over to ask Hua's mother how she planned to handle the rice harvest this year. Hua's mother glanced at Hua Xiali and said, "Just do it the same as before. Either you finish your work at home first and then come to our house to do it, or you can hire someone to help us!"
"No need." Huo Beixi said solemnly, "This year Zhang Yongfeng and I will do it."
Gao Shuaiquan quickly raised his hand and said, "Count me in."
He came to Hua Xiali's house every now and then to eat and drink. The delicious food made him gain several pounds. Now he still makes money from them. He should do something to repay them.
"And me." Leng Yuye said. After spending such a long time eating and drinking at the Hua family, it was time for him to do something.
"Okay, you four grown men should be able to finish it quickly." Uncle Hua nodded, then turned and left.
The next morning, Zhang Yongfeng went to the wholesale market to buy pig offal, while Huo Beixi, Leng Yuye and Gao Shuaiquan took sickles and went directly to the rice fields to start harvesting rice. Huo Beixi and Gao Shuaiquan had both done farm work before, so they started working as soon as they got the sickles. Leng Yuye watched for a while, then slowly started working as well.
Hua Chunli and Hua Qiuli continued to process the snails because they relied on this to make money, while Hua's mother was in charge of the salty part.
Naturally, it was Hua Xiali's turn to cook. The refrigerator at home had already been used. Hua Xiali washed the cucumbers, tomatoes and watermelons and put them in the refrigerator's fresh-keeping layer, so that they could enjoy the cool and refreshing fruits in a while.
After that, Hua Xiali started to prepare lunch. There are plenty of vegetables in this season, and she can make a sumptuous meal by simply cooking them. Now that we have electric rice cookers at home, it can save a lot of trouble to cook rice directly in the rice cooker.
Hua Xiali was cutting vegetables and arranging them on a plate at the table by the kitchen window. Lastly, she started to cut the pork. The pork was oily and very slippery. With one cut, Hua Xiali screamed in pain.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" When everyone heard Hua Xiali's voice, they all ran over, especially Huo Beixi, who threw away his sickle and came out of the rice field.
Seeing Hua Xiali's bloody hands, Huo Beixi felt so distressed that he almost suffocated. He quickly scooped a bucket of clean water to help her rinse her hands. After rinsing, he saw that her thumb, index finger and middle finger were all broken. Fortunately, the bones were not injured and it was not serious.
There was spiritual spring water in the well, and after flushing it several times, the bleeding slowly stopped.
"Do you have any Band-Aids at home?" Huo Beixi asked.
"Yes, I'll get it." Hua Qiuli hurried to the room and came down quickly.
Huo Beixi took the Band-Aid, tore it off, and put it on Hua Xiali's finger.
"Second sister, you take a rest, we will make lunch." Hua Qiuli said.
"Okay, I've prepared all the dishes. The only thing left to do is cut the meat. Wash it and then cut it." Hua Xiali felt a little embarrassed. She had prepared so many dishes, so why did she cut her hand when she was cutting the meat?
Seeing that Hua Xiali was fine, Huo Beixi went back to cut rice. Leng Yuye really wanted to ask what happened to Hua Xiali, but he was not in the position to do so.
He is a doctor, but he didn't bring any first aid supplies when he came to Hua's house. Even if he really went to see the doctor, he couldn't help much.
But looking at how nervous Huo Beixi is towards Hua Xiali, it doesn't seem like what everyone says. If it was really just because Hua Xiali saved him, then the two of them didn't spend much time together, so they shouldn't be so nervous. Could it be that Huo Beixi has been secretly in love with Hua Xiali for a long time, and just took advantage of this incident to bring their affairs to the surface?
At around eleven o'clock, when the sun was scorching, Hua Xiali called them back, took out a watermelon from the refrigerator, cut it, and brought it out to everyone.
Huo Beixi pulled Hua Xiali to sit next to him, smiled and said softly, "Your hand is injured, so don't do these things. Anyone of us can do these things."
