Chapter 209 Reaching the Peak
Hua Xiali decided to try again, so she moved next to Huo Beixi and opened her mouth towards him. When he picked up a piece of food and fed it to her, she smelled that unbearable smell again.
It's not like she hasn't eaten chicken before, but never had such a strong feeling. Hua Xiali quickly covered her mouth and returned to her original position, shaking her head, "No, you eat it yourself!"
Maybe she was really pregnant, otherwise her sense of smell would not have become so sensitive. Meat does have a little smell, but it is not so strong, especially domestic meat. The smell is almost negligible, but today she smelled it particularly clearly.
After Huo Beixi finished eating the food in the bowl, Hua Xiali took him to visit his third uncle and fourth uncle's houses. Both families enthusiastically served them a large bowl of meat. Hua Xiali didn't eat it, but Huo Beixi ate a bowl from each family. They didn't need to eat lunch and could wait until the evening to have the New Year's Eve dinner.
When they got to Hua's mother, she served them another large bowl of meat. Huo Beixi whispered to her, "Mother-in-law, Xia Li might be pregnant and can't stand the smell of meat. Don't serve it to her."
After hearing this, Hua's mother nodded repeatedly. She didn't expect that Hua Xiali was also pregnant. Now the two children are about the same age, so she can take care of two children at once, which saves her some trouble.
Hua Xiali saw Huo Beixi eating again and was very worried, "Huo Beixi, why are you eating again? Can you eat more?"
Huo Beixi shook his head and whispered, "I can do it, don't worry."
Today is New Year's Eve. I can't spoil the fun and make my mother-in-law unhappy.
And after eating the roasted meat, you don’t have to eat lunch and can just wait for the New Year’s Eve dinner at night.
When Hua Xiali and his friends were preparing to go to Hua Chunli's house to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner, Gao Shuaiquan came over. Hua Xiali was very surprised, "Gao Shuaiquan, why did you come over today? Don't you have to accompany your family to eat the New Year's Eve dinner?"
"I have already had the New Year's Eve dinner at noon." Gao Shuaiquan grinned, revealing his neat white teeth.
Boys and men are really different!
"We are just about to go to my eldest sister's house to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner. Since you are here, put your things down and come over together!" Hua Qiuli said, and took Hua Xiali's arm and walked towards Hua Chunli's house.
Gao Shuaiquan hurried to the room on the first floor where he usually slept to put down his things, then hurried out to catch up with Hua Qiuli. Hua's mother locked the gate of her house and followed them.
Everyone arrived at Hua Chunli's house and began to prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner. Although they were not sure whether Hua Xiali was pregnant, Huo Beixi assumed that she was a pregnant woman now. She did not let her do anything and let her and Hua Chunli sit on the sofa to rest. Hua Xiali found it a little funny, but still obediently went to rest.
Huo Beixi, Zhang Yongfeng, Gao Shuaiquan, three grown men plus Hua's mother and Hua Qiuli, a total of five people, it is easy to prepare a New Year's Eve dinner, without Hua Xiali's help at all.
Seeing the peeled and crispy sugarcane that was suddenly handed to her, Hua Xiali looked up at Huo Beixi. She really couldn't believe that there was a man in the world who could do this.
At this moment, my love for him reached its peak.
"You haven't eaten anything. Eat some sugarcane to fill your stomach." Huo Beixi handed the sugarcane to Hua Xiali.
"Aren't there so many snacks here?" Hua Xiali took the sugar cane and took a bite. It was very juicy and sweet, making her heart as sweet as eating honey. "I will take care of myself, don't worry about it, just concentrate on your work!"
After Huo Beixi went to the kitchen, Hua Chunli couldn't help but joked, "Huo Beixi has really fallen in love with you, right? I didn't expect you to be so amazing. In just a few months, you made Huo Beixi fall in love with you."
"What?" Hua Xiali's cheeks couldn't help but get hot. "We started to cultivate our relationship after we got engaged, and it's almost been seven months now. Isn't it natural for Huo Beixi to have feelings for me? We are not plants or trees, so how can we be heartless? Not to mention that we have been husband and wife for several months."
Then Hua Xiali ate the sugarcane bite by bite with his hot face. The sugarcane was very crisp and made a crisp sound with every bite.
This year, every household in the village has saved some sugarcane for their own consumption and for entertaining guests. The sugarcane tastes really good, better than any other fruit. It is a nice experience to chew on a piece of sugarcane in your spare time.
Hua Xiali also left four bundles of sugarcane for her family, one bundle at her own home and the rest at her mother's place. When she went out to pick up the goods, she asked a truck to take a few bundles of sugarcane to the hospital in the city center and gave two bundles to each of Leng Yuye's colleagues.
Leng Yuye had helped their family before, so she should give Leng Yuye some good things if she had any. Most importantly, as medical workers, they really needed a good body so that they could help more patients and relieve the pain caused by the disease.
The sugarcane that Huo Beixi gave to Hua Xiali had three sections. Hua Xiali chewed the sugarcane for a long time before she finished it. The juice of the sugarcane flowed on her hands, and her palms felt sticky and uncomfortable. Hua Xiali was about to get up to scoop some water to wash her hands, but Huo Beixi had already come over with a warm towel, and he held her hand and wiped each of her fingers clean.
Hua Chunli was sitting opposite, looking at this scene, feeling a little amused. Huo Beixi was even more exaggerated than Zhang Yongfeng. Although Zhang Yongfeng was particularly happy to know that she was pregnant, he was not like Huo Beixi who wanted to do everything for Hua Xiali.
Hua Xiali rolled her eyes at Huo Beixi in embarrassment. Did he treat her like a child? She was just pregnant, not...
And now she is not sure whether she is pregnant or not!
If I go to the hospital for a check-up and find out that I am not pregnant, wouldn’t that be a false alarm?
In the afternoon, the third uncle and the fourth uncle came over again and asked them if they wanted to go together to pay homage to their grandparents. Last year, Zhang Yongfeng was asked to go just to show his appreciation, but they did not go.
Huo Beixi said, "I'll go!"
Although he didn't know why Hua Xiali and the others didn't go, he still had to go as the grandson-in-law, otherwise it would be easy for people to accuse him of being unfilial.
Although Hua Xiali and his family did not go to the memorial service, they still left some items for the memorial service when they went to wholesale things at the end of the year. This means that although they would not forgive what their grandparents had done, they still made preparations.
Huo Beixi picked up the things for worship and went to the cemetery in the flower village with his third and fourth uncles. The main reason was that the flower village was a plain area without any hills, and everyone couldn't find a place to use as a cemetery, so they found a piece of land to use as a cemetery, and all the elderly who passed away were buried there.
This way, future generations will not be unable to find the graves of their ancestors.
