Chapter 224 Share the burden with me
"If Jia Yujie asks, how should I explain it?" Zhang Yongfeng asked.
"Let's say we changed the salary distribution system. For married people, half of the salary will be given to their spouse, and for unmarried people, half of the salary will be given to their parents. Then, maybe my cousin will be anxious to propose to me, and then be rejected harshly." Hua Xiali said.
As long as she marries Jia Yujie, she will receive half of Jia Yujie's salary in the future. I don't know what the girl will think.
Just wanting to spend other people's money but not willing to make any contribution, how can such a good thing exist in this world?
Zhang Yongfeng nodded, "Okay, I understand."
After having dinner with her family at the brine restaurant, Hua Xiali took a bus back to Huazhuang. Huo Beixi was still waiting to see the results, and she also wanted to seize the time to collect more morels and bamboo shoots, otherwise if she missed it, she would have to wait until next year.
Besides, by this time next year she will be studying, so she won't be able to go to her fourth uncle's house every day like she does now. She will only be able to go there once in a while during the weekends.
When Hua Xiali returned home in the afternoon, Huo Beixi was still working. She did not disturb him but cooked rice, washed, cut and plated the vegetables for later use, then went to the upstairs room to read.
She came back from the city center without bringing any vegetables, only some prawns. The prawns were very big, one was almost as long as a human hand, more than ten centimeters.
The shrimps were even bigger than the ones she had packed in a big hotel in the city center. This time she bought all the shrimps sold at the stall and only left twenty outside. For just her and Huo Beixi to dine alone, twenty shrimps were more than enough for a meal.
Because the vegetables sold in the market are not as delicious as those they grow themselves, but if they don’t have them at home, they can buy them from the market, such as meat and seafood.
Although we do raise pigs at home, we don’t slaughter them until the end of the year. After the meat that we secretly saved is eaten up, we still have to buy more at the market.
Huo Beixi came back in the evening and saw traces of the house. He knew Hua Xiali had returned, so he went straight upstairs and saw her sleeping on the bed with a textbook in her hand. He took the textbook from her hand and put it on the bedside table, then put her hand under the quilt.
As a result, Hua Xiali woke up slowly and was a little surprised to see Huo Beixi sitting beside the bed, "You're back?"
"Yeah." Huo Beixi reached out to help her tidy up her messy hair and smiled gently, "How is it?"
"Everything is fine." Hua Xiali said with a smile, "I told you it's okay, don't be so nervous."
"You still have to be careful, or I'll be worried." Seeing Hua Xiali was about to get up, Huo Beixi helped her up, "I saw the shrimp you brought back, what should we do with it?"
"I'll teach you." Hua Xiali got up, put on his shoes, and went downstairs with Huo Beixi. When they came to the kitchen, Hua Xiali grabbed a large shrimp, picked up a pair of scissors, and cut a slit directly from the back of the shrimp to the tail, and then took out the shrimp thread inside. "Just do it like this. After processing, wash it clean and steam or boil it directly. If you want to eat something more flavorful, just braise it. Shrimp is easy to cook and can be eaten in a few minutes."
"Okay." Huo Beixi took the scissors and started to deal with it.
Twenty shrimps, all processed quickly.
After that, Huo Beixi went over to cook. When Hua Xiali came back, everything was ready. He just had to cook. Hua Xiali sat behind the stove, stuffing a piece of bamboo into the stove from time to time.
Previously, Hua Xiali asked her fourth uncle and Lu Xiaozhi to help her cut a lot of bamboo. Now, these bamboos are used to make fire at home, and the straw is only used to start the fire. As long as the fire is started, other firewood can be added, but the temperature needs to be controlled well.
After dinner was ready, the two sat down to eat. When Hua Xiali was about to reach out for the prawns, Huo Beixi brought the prawns over and started peeling them one by one, saying, "Just wait and eat. Don't get your hands dirty."
Hua Xiali smiled and said, "This is steamed without oil or salt. How can it dirty my hands?"
Huo Beixi peeled all the shrimps and then placed the plate in front of Hua Xiali. Hua Xiali picked up a shrimp, dipped it in the sauce, and then put it in his mouth.
The prawns are delicious, the meat is chewy and has a sweet taste.
"You eat too!" Hua Xiali picked up two shrimps for Huo Beixi and said, "We each have ten shrimps. No matter what you eat, you can't eat too much at once. If you really care about me, don't think of leaving it all for me, but share it with me."
"Okay." Huo Beixi nodded with a smile.
After dinner, Hua Xiali took the shrimp shells to the backyard and poured them into the dog's food bowl. Now she and Huo Beixi live in Hua's mother's house, taking care of the fruits, vegetables, poultry and livestock in the yard, but Hua Xiali also returns to her house every day to feed her two dogs.
Now the two wolfhounds at Hua Mu's place and the two pastoral dogs at her place have all grown very big and are good at guarding the house. With them around, no evil spirits can get close to them.
At night, Huo Beixi sat at the head of the bed, studying Hua Xiali's monthly medical report. Hua Xiali lay in his arms, looking up at him curiously, "Do you understand?"
"Aren't you underestimating me? Do you think there is anything in this world that I can't understand?" Huo Beixi lowered his eyes to look at Hua Xiali and raised his eyebrows in amusement.
Hua Xiali was stunned for a moment, then he understood and smiled embarrassedly. Huo Beixi was not an ordinary person. He was an outstanding university graduate and after graduation he joined the army as a volunteer soldier for two years and also went to the mountains for training for two years. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to have only two years of work experience at this age.
She has lived two lives, but her life experience may not be as rich as Huo Beixi's!
Because in her previous life she had always been at the top of society, doing the dirtiest and most tiring work, and had never been anywhere in her life. Even when she received demolition compensation, she still saved the money. She did not enjoy life like others, because she did not know how to do so, and she had not experienced those things.
Except for the fact that she has more money than Huo Beixi, she really cannot compare to Huo Beixi in any other way.
Huo Beixi put the medical examination report on the bedside table, lowered his eyes and saw that Hua Xiali had fallen asleep, so he turned off the light and lay down with her in his arms.
There was one day off for May Day. Hua Chunli was already in the late stage of pregnancy and her belly was already very big, so it was inconvenient for her to take a car. In addition, there were many people on the May Day holiday and business was good. Zhang Yongfeng's salty restaurant had to continue to open, so they did not go back to Huazhuang.
Because the salty food shop changed its way of paying wages, the girl once again rejected Jia Yujie harshly when he formally confessed his love to her.
