Chapter 227 Son-in-law
Hua Xiali put down his bowl and chopsticks, stood up and walked to An Xiaoyan's side, and asked softly, "Sister Xiaoyan, I was just like you when I was pregnant, so are you pregnant?"
An Xiaoyan nodded shyly, "Yes."
"Does my cousin know?" Hua Xiali asked.
An Xiaoyan nodded, "I know, we've also told our family."
"Congratulations!" Hua Xiali said with a smile, "Sister Xiaoyan, now that you are pregnant, you don't have to be busy anymore. Let my cousin hire another auntie to come over. Let the three aunties do the work, and you will be responsible for supervising them and telling them what to do."
"Xia Li, thank you." An smiled gratefully.
She thought she would never have children in her lifetime, but she unexpectedly became pregnant after living in the mountains for a while. It seems that the soil and water in the mountains are quite nourishing, and the vegetables grown in the soil and water in the mountains are also more delicious than those at home. If Hua Xiali hadn't given her this job opportunity, how would she have the chance to experience these, and how would she have the chance to have children?
"Sister Xiaoyan, why are you saying thank you to me? You are helping me by following my work. With you, I feel at ease and I don't have to worry. If you want to say thank you, I have to say thank you to you!" The reason why Hua Xiali arranged his own people in important positions was to prevent outsiders from plotting against him.
They are all family members, so at least there is a family relationship to constrain them. If they are strangers, there will be no constraints at all. Although they have signed an employment contract, how many people can abide by the rules?
Only honest people follow the rules.
But it is not easy to tell who is honest and who is not at a glance. Some people are only honest on the surface!
Hua Xiali and Huo Beixi had their meal at the restaurant and then went back. After all, this was a neighboring county and it would take some time to get back to their flower shop. The earlier they went back, the easier it would be for them to rest.
Huo Beixi changed his shift, so he had three consecutive days off this time. Except for a trip to Baibao County on the first day, he spent the next two days at home with Hua Xiali and tutoring her. After all, there was only one month left before he had to take the college entrance examination.
When she was tired of studying and wanted to relax, Hua Xiali would read the diary that Grandpa Fang had kept for many years. Grandpa Fang's diary was just a cash flow account, but it allowed her to understand the past of Stone Village.
The mountain village was originally called Shitou Village. Later, there was no one in the village. Grandpa Fang was afraid that he would forget Grandma Mo's name, so he changed the name of the village to "Mo Jingchun Village" and carved a stone tablet for the village.
"What's wrong?" Huo Beixi returned to the room after taking a shower and saw Hua Xiali sitting there with red eyes. He asked worriedly.
Hua Xiali touched the corner of his eyes and said, "I was moved by Grandpa Fang's diary. I didn't expect that Grandpa Fang and Grandma Mo usually get along so warmly and harmoniously. It would be great if Grandma Mo was still alive and well now!"
Huo Beixi sat on the bed, pulled Hua Xiali into his arms, and said, "Is it possible that our relationship is no longer warm and harmonious?"
"That's not what I meant." Hua Xiali looked up and glared at him, then carefully sorted out Grandpa Fang's diary. The ones at the front had been kept for decades and were the most vulnerable to damage, so they had to be carefully protected, as they were the result of Grandpa Fang's years of hard work.
Hua Xiali put the diary on the bedside table and lay down. However, as soon as she lay down, Huo Beixi's arm reached out and pulled her over, facing him.
"What's wrong?" Hua Xiali looked at him and frowned.
Huo Beixi reached out and gently stroked the corner of her lips, looking at her tenderly and lovingly, "Wife, do you miss me?"
Hua Xiali glared at him speechlessly, "We see each other every day, why would I miss you?"
After saying that, he turned around and faced Huo Beixi.
Huo Beixi moved closer, put his arms around Hua Xiali's waist, and rested his chin on her shoulder. His wife's body felt fragrant and soft, and just holding her like this, he could feel the fragrance in the air.
Hua Xiali closed her eyes and ignored Huo Beixi. She soon fell asleep.
July was soon approaching, and there were only a few days left before the college entrance examination. Hua Xiali went to school to get his admission ticket, and then went home to review while waiting for the college entrance examination.
When Hua's mother knew that Hua Xiali was going to take the college entrance examination, she came back from the city to accompany Hua Xiali to take the exam.
She did not tell Hua Xiali in advance, otherwise Hua Xiali would definitely refuse. Huo Beixi has a motorcycle, so it is convenient for her to pick her up, so why would she need Hua's mother to accompany her!
However, since Hua's mother has already returned, Hua Xiali naturally won't say such disappointing words. Anyway, Huo Beixi's motorcycle can accommodate them all, so they can just go together when the time comes.
On the morning of the exam, after having breakfast at home, Huo Beixi sent Hua Xiali to the examination room early. Before leaving, he reminded Hua Xiali to check whether she had brought all the exam supplies.
Hua Xiali sat in the middle of the motorcycle, and Hua's mother sat at the back. Huo Beixi drove Hua Xiali and Hua's mother out. When they arrived at the school gate, Huo Beixi felt relieved when he saw Hua Xiali pass the inspection at the gate and walk into the school.
"Beixi, you still have to work, so you should go back first! Xia Li, I'm here." Hua's mother said.
Huo Beixi nodded, "Mother-in-law, I'll trouble you with Xia Li."
Huo Beixi then got on his motorcycle and rode away in the envious eyes of his parents. Then an auntie walked up to Hua's mother and asked tentatively, "Sister, is that young man your son? He is really handsome."
She was dressed neatly and tidy, with a tall and slender figure and a watch on her wrist, giving people a feeling of being young and promising.
The most important thing is the motorcycle. That motorcycle is worth the money!
We have to inquire about this carefully to see if we can find a good relative. If my daughter marries well, she can help her brother in the future, right?
"Oh, that's my son-in-law. Our family is poor, so he came to live with us. You should have seen the motorcycle just now, right? My daughter bought it for our family. Now he drives it occasionally." Hua's mother rolled her eyes arrogantly. She had been in the city center for so long, what kind of people had she not met?
Before, there were women who wanted to seduce Zhang Yongfeng because he was the owner of a salty restaurant. The older sister just now clearly wanted to seduce Huo Beixi because he was rich, for the sake of her own daughter or the girls in her family. They all wanted to get something for nothing.
Even if Huo Beixi was snatched away, what would happen? The one who was truly rich was Hua Xiali, not Huo Beixi. Even if Huo Beixi, a poor boy, was snatched away, what would happen?
The aunt also felt a little regretful after hearing what Hua's mother said. She didn't expect that such a good-looking young man would be so desperate as to become someone else's son-in-law. It was such a waste of his good looks and figure.
