Chapter 222: You can see

After a while, Hua Xiali shook his head and said, "It's okay. Maybe I just woke up too hastily."

"You must have sat for too long. Don't sit for so long next time." Huo Beixi held the basket in one hand and supported Hua Xiali with the other.

Arriving in the kitchen, Huo Beixi followed Hua Xiali's instructions and poured half a basket of bamboo shoots directly into the iron pot. He then added a few ladles of water until the bamboo shoots were completely submerged before starting a fire.

After the water in the pot boiled and then cooked for a few more minutes, Huo Beixi opened the lid of the pot and took out the bamboo shoots that had changed color from cooking. After letting them cool, he cut them into pieces. He then took out the salted meat that had been dried in June, cut a small bowl of salted meat slices, and stir-fried them together with the bamboo shoots.

Before, Hua Xiali couldn't stand the smell of anything fishy, ​​but after three months, her sense of taste and smell returned to normal, her appetite also recovered, and she can eat meat normally.

In the evening, I made stir-fried bamboo shoots with salted pork, stir-fried vegetables and minced meat soup. There were only two of us at home for dinner, so two dishes and one soup, both meat and vegetables, were more than enough.

Huo Beixi picked up a piece of bamboo shoots with chopsticks and tasted it, his eyebrows raised slightly. He didn't expect that the bamboo shoots were actually very delicious, crisp and refreshing, and had a fresh taste.

"Is it delicious?" Hua Xiali asked curiously.

Huo Beixi nodded. "I didn't expect this thing to be so delicious. There are a lot of them on the mountain behind my house. If I had known that this thing was so delicious, I wouldn't have wasted so many bamboo shoots."

"It's okay. We have enough food now. Eating bamboo shoots occasionally is enough." Hua Xiali would not tell him that he had collected a lot of bamboo shoots in the past few years. If he opened a store to sell bamboo shoots, it would probably take several years to sell them all.

The bamboo shoots on the mountain are too dense, which will affect the growth of bamboo. Anyway, they need to be cleared, so it will give my fourth uncle and aunt a chance to make money. It doesn't matter if she collects a few more bamboo shoots. Anyway, she can sell everything in the future. At worst, when she is old, she can set up a small stall near the vegetable market every day.

"By the way, when I came out of your house before, I met your second grandfather and second grandmother. I told them that I bought your house and land from you. They seemed to have always regarded your things as their own. After hearing what I said, they were a little unhappy and asked me where you were. I said you owed too much money and I didn't know where you had gone." Hua Xiali felt that there were some things that Huo Beixi should know, so that he would not let it slip when talking to Grandpa Huo and Grandma Huo in the future.

If the second grandfather and second grandmother of the Huo family knew that she and Huo Beixi were married, they might really ask her to be filial to them. After all, they have no one to turn to, they have nothing in their hands, and those so-called grandchildren will not come to find them.

People tend to seek profit and avoid harm. Two unprofitable old men are a huge trouble to them, and no one wants to get into such trouble.

But once the old man had something in his hand, they would come over following the smell and then fight until they were bloody.

Huo Beixi nodded. "You don't have to worry about them. I just ask someone to send some rice, flour, grain and oil to them occasionally to show my appreciation. They have their own descendants, and it's not our turn to take care of them in their old age. I won't take on the responsibility myself."

When it comes to the last moment, the two old men will be desperate and will definitely look for their own descendants. They don't know where Huo Beixi is. They only have one phone number, and Huo Beixi is at the brigade headquarters most of the time. When they receive a call saying "Huo Beixi resigns", they will not be able to find Huo Beixi at all.

Hua Xiali didn't even want to care about Hua Tiefeng, so how could she care about someone else? The reason why she cared about Hua Tiefeng was just to fulfill her responsibilities and obligations. Others had nothing to do with her, so why should she care about others?

In the following days, Hua Xiali spent his time picking morels and collecting bamboo shoots. He would occasionally go to Baibao County to check on the sugarcane growth there, as well as the progress of road construction and river clearing. The road was getting longer and longer, and it was getting closer and closer to the mountain village. Soon, we would be able to drive into the village, making it much more convenient for everyone to enter and exit the village.

The saplings planted on both sides of the road have sprouted and are growing well. However, when Hua Xiali bought the saplings, the road had not been repaired yet, so he did not buy so many saplings. He will have to wait until autumn when the temperature is not so high to buy saplings and continue planting.

She plans to plant saplings on both sides of the entire road, so that the shape of the road will be determined by the shape of the flowers that bloom from the trees. Looking down from the sky, it will be a beautiful landscape.

Twenty years later, when people take photos with drones, they will see pictures like this, which will be so spectacular and shocking!

Hua Xiali went to the city center for every prenatal checkup, and went to the city center hospital with Hua Chunli. This month, the two of them went for a prenatal checkup together again.

In fact, very few pregnant women in rural areas come to the hospital for check-ups every month. Many of them do not even have a check-up, and just get pregnant until they give birth, and then give birth at home.

But Hua Xiali knew that this was actually very dangerous. They still had to get checked, but others didn't have the conditions, so she couldn't force others to do the same.

Many doctors are off on weekends, so the two of them chose weekdays to come to the hospital for prenatal check-ups, which meant that Hua Chunli needed to take a leave of absence.

Hua Chunli studies hard and has good grades, so even if she takes one day off, it will not affect her studies at all. Therefore, the teacher directly agreed to her request for leave once a month for prenatal check-up.

Huo Beixi had to work and could not accompany Hua Xiali to the hospital for the prenatal check-up. Moreover, Hua Xiali was with Hua Chunli and did not need his company, so Hua Xiali did not let him take leave.

It’s better to save your vacation time until you give birth and then take leave. If you take too much leave, people will definitely complain.

And now it is indeed not the point where she needs his company. After all, she is with Hua Chunli, and Hua's mother and Zhang Yongfeng are also in the city. With them around, why should he worry about anything?

Hua Xiali arrived at the city center the afternoon before her prenatal check-up. There were many people in the city center hospital, and if they didn't come early, they would not be able to get an appointment in the morning, or even in the afternoon. So the two of them came to the registration place early to queue up for registration.

When the medical workers came to work, Hua Xiali saw Leng Yuye and a female comrade walking in, talking and laughing. The registration place was in the lobby, and everyone had to pass by here. Hua Xiali could see Leng Yuye, and Leng Yuye could naturally see Hua Xiali.

It is already mid-April, the temperature is quite high, and everyone is wearing much less clothes. Although Hua Xiali's belly is not big, you can still see that she is pregnant.
