Chapter 211 I've Almost Forgotten

As for the red envelopes for cousins, it is enough just to be similar to those of other families. They are just cousins. They have their own parents and have enjoyed the love of their grandparents before. They also have grandparents-in-law.

Hua Xiali now has less than they have, except for her mother, sisters and her own family, so she will not support them, nor will she let them become dependent on her.

In fact, as soon as it gets dark, the sky around you starts to be filled with brilliant fireworks. Some families with good conditions can't wait to set off fireworks.

Hua Xiali's family started setting off fireworks only after they had finished their New Year's Eve dinner and given out all the red envelopes.

The fireworks were placed in Gao Shuaiquan's room. Gao Shuaiquan excitedly ran back to the room and moved the fireworks out. He moved two and placed them on the open space in front of the door, one on each side, and lit them together. Then two dazzling fireworks bloomed at the same time in the night sky.

The turtledove that I picked up on New Year’s Eve last year has been kept at home. Because of the spiritual spring water, the turtledove has been living well and nothing has happened to it.

The two big wolfhounds were also locked up in the empty pigsty early because dogs are afraid of fireworks and firecrackers. During the New Year, many dogs were scared away, and not many of them returned home safely. That’s why their family locked up the dogs early to prevent them from being scared away and caught and eaten by people outside, or hurting others.

The fireworks flickered, and everyone's expressions flickered. Huo Beixi turned his head to look at Hua Xiali, with an intense happiness in his heart.

After the fireworks were over, Hua Xiali and Huo Beixi returned to their own home next door, while Hua's mother, Hua Qiuli and Gao Shuaiquan went back to Hua's mother's home together.

After washing up and lying down at night, Huo Beixi put his big hands on Hua Xiali's slender waist. Hua Xiali patted him coquettishly and said, "You are not sure yet, do you have to be so exaggerated?"

"I think she's definitely pregnant." Huo Beixi said firmly.

"Are you so sure?" Hua Xiali laughed. She herself was not sure, but how could he be sure?

"Sure." Huo Beixi nodded firmly, "We are very happy, so the child also wants to witness our happiness as soon as possible, so the child came to us."

Hua Xiali narrowed his eyes and looked at Huo Beixi dangerously, "So you married me just to have an heir?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Huo Beixi held Hua Xiali's face with both hands and said seriously, "Wife, if you talk nonsense again in the future, don't blame me for punishing you!"

Is there any need to question his feelings for her?

Hua Xiali raised his eyebrows, "How are you going to deal with me?"

"How about this?" Huo Beixi's hand reached into the hem of her shirt and pinched her soft waist.

Hua Xiali shyly pushed him away and whispered, "No."

We don’t know whether she is pregnant or not. If she is, and she accidentally hurts the baby, it would be such a pity!

"I didn't say now, I meant later." Huo Beixi kissed Hua Xiali on the forehead, then lay down beside her, held her in his arms, and let her fall asleep with her head resting on his arms.

The next day was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the three sisters of the Hua family went to pay New Year's greetings to the families with whom they had good relations, especially those who made rice candies, rice noodles, and rice dumplings for Hua Xiali. They would have to trouble them again in winter, so naturally they had to maintain good relations with them.

After all, there were still several decades to go, and she had only collected for two winters, which was not enough to last for a long time. Moreover, she did not have the time to make these things herself, nor did she have the time to make these for her children, so she could only stockpile more from them and keep them.

The children in the village would hold bags in their hands when they visited other people's homes to wish them a happy new year. After a round of greetings, each of them would be able to take home a bag of snacks.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the second aunt and the younger aunt returned to their parents' home, that is, to Hua Zhuang. However, the second aunt's family had cut off contact with Hua Xiali's family, so the second aunt's family did not come, and only the younger aunt's family came to Hua's mother's house.

Knowing that Hua Tiefeng now had someone to take care of him, had no worries about food and drink, and kept the house clean every day, the aunt felt relieved and did not ask any more questions.

The aunt is the youngest of the Hua family's children, so her children are naturally the youngest as well. Her children are still young, so she didn't let Hua Xiali help them make money. However, the aunt did express her intention to let them follow Hua Xiali when they grow up.

Hua Xiali did not refuse explicitly, but said that she would wait until they stopped studying and see if they were suitable. She would not take care of everyone, and she would not take care of those who were disobedient, frivolous, and unruly.

It doesn't matter if you don't have strong work ability, because you just need to be obedient and do the things she assigns you to do. Her work here is very simple and does not require strong work ability, but people with strong work ability can be promoted to leaders and get a salary increase.

Now, my cousin who manages the bridal shop, Jia Yuqiang who manages the sugarcane field, and Jia Chenyang who manages the mountain village in Baibao County all receive foreman wages, which is 220 yuan a month. The wages of other ordinary employees have increased by 20 yuan, and are now 120 yuan a month.

Jia Yujie works in Zhang Yongfeng's store. Working in the city means he has to follow the city's wage standards. His current monthly salary is 200 yuan.

Hua Xiali also learned something from her younger aunt, that is, the second aunt's eldest cousin Zhang Jingxia was living with a young man from another place. An acquaintance reported this to the second aunt and second uncle. The second aunt and second uncle took people to forcibly bring Zhang Jingxia back. The second uncle also beat up the young man and said that if he was not afraid of death, he could continue to be with Zhang Jingxia, but he would come to beat him once a day.

The young man was so scared that he packed up his bags and left for his hometown without even asking for that month's wages. After Zhang Jingxia was taken home by her second aunt and uncle, she was locked up at home and not allowed to go out. They said that as long as she got married, they would no longer care about her. In order to have freedom, Zhang Jingxia agreed to get married.

So Zhang Jingxia is going to get married in the first month of the year.

This kind of thing did happen in the previous life, but Zhang Jingxia was unable to have children and never had any, so she got divorced. Families in the 1990s still attached great importance to offspring, and no one wanted to be childless, so it was normal for people to divorce and remarry. You can't drag someone down for the rest of their life just because you can't have children. Other people want and need children.

After Zhang Jingxia was divorced, she snatched away a woman's husband and children, and that's how she got a husband and children.

However, Hua Xiali had no idea when these things happened in her previous life, because so many years had passed since then, and she had almost forgotten everything related to herself, let alone other people's affairs.
