Chapter 217 The Right Place
Others only see his efforts but fail to see how much he enjoys doing it. Isn't this a kind of happiness?
Hua Qiuli nodded, "I know."
With the examples of her elder brother-in-law and second brother-in-law, how could she possibly just find a man casually? In the future, she would definitely use her elder brother-in-law and second brother-in-law as the standard. She would not consider men like them. She would not consider men who were worse than them. Otherwise, if she found such a man, it would affect everyone's harmony, which would be a big mistake!
Also, she already has so much savings that she can live well on her own without getting married. Just like my second brother-in-law said, there is really no need for her to just find a man to settle for.
Huo Beixi kneaded and rolled the dough, and then the four of them worked together to make buns and dumplings. The filling of the dumplings was not just shepherd's purse, but also soy sauce and dried seeds, which smelled very fragrant.
The four of them worked together and finished the meal quickly. They kept some for their family to eat today and put the rest in the refrigerator to freeze, ready to be taken out when they wanted to eat.
If Huo Beixi is alone at home and is too busy to cook, he can just steam buns or cook dumplings.
After the shepherd's purse dumplings were cooked, Huo Beixi asked everyone to come over and eat the dumplings, and also prepared a dipping sauce for Hua Xiali. Soy sauce, vinegar and one-third spoonful of chopped pepper, mixed evenly, made a slightly spicy and fragrant dipping sauce.
Hua Xiali picked up a plump white dumpling, rolled it in the dipping sauce, then took a bite and squinted his eyes in satisfaction. The dumpling stuffed with shepherd's purse was really delicious. There was a hint of sweetness in the shepherd's purse. She didn't expect shepherd's purse to be so delicious. No wonder shepherd's purse cost as much as five yuan per pound in the vegetable market in her previous life, which was higher than the price of many vegetables.
Gao Shuai saw how Huo Beixi took care of Hua Xiali, and kept it in mind. He wanted to take good care of his other half in the same way in the future.
When Gao Shuaiquan thought of this, he tilted his head to glance at Hua Qiuli, wondering if he would have this opportunity.
Hua Qiuli was puzzled by Gao Shuaiquan's look and glared at him fiercely.
After lunch, Hua Qiuli and Gao Shuaiquan packed up and left, leaving Hua Xiali and Huo Beixi alone at home. However, Huo Beixi had already resumed his normal work, and Hua Xiali also had to go out occasionally, so the two of them could not stay at home every day.
Huo Beixi cleaned up the kitchen, and then the two of them sat on the sofa. Huo Beixi brought Hua Xiali over and let her sit on his lap to read.
The gate to the courtyard is closed, but there is no need to worry about others seeing you when they pass by, because no one can see you. After all, no one's eyes can penetrate the door panels!
"Huo Beixi, we are going to start raising seedlings soon. We have several acres of land, and I will have to trouble you then." Hua Xiali suddenly thought of this, so he looked up at Huo Beixi and reminded him.
"Don't worry. Doesn't your family's land belong to me anymore? I will take care of it. You just need to concentrate on taking care of the baby and studying." Huo Beixi pinched Hua Xiali's nose.
Food is the most important thing for people, and grain is the main thing for food. Even if a family is rich, so many paddy fields cannot be left uncultivated.
The next day, Hua Xiali went to the seed shop in town to buy seeds. She bought common and delicious fruits and vegetables. They didn't taste that good, so she didn't waste the money.
The seed shop does not only sell seeds, it also sells seedlings, so people who don't know how to grow seedlings can just buy seedlings and it will be much easier. However, seedlings are more expensive than seeds. The two plots of land in Hua Xiali are so large that buying seedlings would be very expensive, so it is better to buy seeds.
Moreover, she has spiritual spring water, so she is not worried about the low germination rate of the seeds. As long as the seeds are not maliciously destroyed by the boss, there will be no problem.
Hua Xiali plans to let employees save their own seeds this year, because fruits and vegetables are tastier this era. If they don't save seeds, they will never be able to buy this variety again in the future, because the seeds in the past were all new varieties, and the taste and texture are not as good as the current varieties.
Take tomatoes for example. Nowadays, tomatoes can be eaten directly as fruit. They are very sweet, pink and crunchy, and there is no need to add rock sugar.
This variety was not available for purchase in the past, unless some farmers kept such seeds for themselves.
Hua Xiali planned to turn the "Mo Jingchun Village" in Baibao County into a tourist attraction, so she needed to turn it into a place with beautiful scenery. So Hua Xiali went to the nursery and bought a lot of fruit trees, so that they could both bloom and bear fruit, killing two birds with one stone.
Hua Xiali bought fifty peach trees, apricot trees, pear trees, cherry trees, and apple trees. Although the apples here would not grow as big or as good as those in the north, Hua Xiali did not care whether they could bear fruit or not, as long as they could bloom. Moreover, she had spiritual spring water, so the apples should be able to bear big fruits.
As for red plum trees, jasmine trees, purple magnolias, white magnolias, and grape seedlings, we wanted 150 each, because red plum and jasmine both bloom in winter. With these two kinds of trees, the mountaintops would no longer be desolate and bleak in winter.
Purple magnolia and white magnolia bloom in early spring, before peach blossoms and in the severe cold of early spring. In this way, there will be blooming flowers on the mountain all year round, and there will be eye-catching beauty all year round.
Hua Xiali bought too many saplings today, so she asked the boss if he would deliver the goods. The boss said yes, so Hua Xiali asked the boss to help her deliver the goods right away, and she would go with him so that he could lead the way.
When the car arrived at the junction, Hua Xiali stopped the car here, because these trees were to be planted along the road leading into the mountain. Only when there were flowers blooming at the intersection could they attract passers-by to go in and take a look, and then they would be able to discover the fairyland-like paradise inside.
When Jia Chenyang brought his people over, Hua Xiali asked them to move all the saplings down. Hua Xiali asked them to plant the fruit tree saplings one by one on the right side, with each tree one meter apart.
Red plum, jasmine and magnolia, these ornamental trees are planted on the left side, also one meter apart, with the trees on both sides aligned. When they bloom in two years, they will be as winding as the road leading into the mountain, like a flower dragon.
Fortunately, the saplings were all small saplings only about one meter tall, so there was no need to dig particularly large holes, so it was not a big deal. Everyone dug holes and planted trees, while Hua Xiali was responsible for watering.
Jia Chenyang carried over two buckets of mountain spring water. Hua Xiali washed his hands in it and took the opportunity to add some spiritual spring water into it. This way, even if the survival rate of the seedlings was not 100%, it would not be low.
"Cousin Chenyang, have you found a suitable place to dig a well?" Hua Xiali asked with concern.
Jia Chenyang nodded and said, "I found it, but it's a little far from everyone's house."
