Chapter 308 Writing a Book
She insisted on buying a house in the city center and building the "Xia Li Restaurant" in the city center. She also worked hard to make the "Xia Li Restaurant" the most popular place and a check-in spot that everyone loves to visit.
After the event, the restaurant returned to normal. It was not so busy, so Hua Xiali naturally did not need to continue to maintain order there. Hua Xiali returned to the flower manor and lived an ordinary farmer's life with Huo Beixi.
By this time the sugarcane could be harvested, but she didn't plant much, just the piece in Hua Mu's yard and some in Huo Beixi's yard.
Only a little of this can be eaten by the family, and the rest can be kept as seeds. The varieties grown with spiritual spring water are naturally better, and as they are reproduced from generation to generation, the taste and texture of the sugarcane will get better and better.
That morning, Hua Xiali sat at a desk filled with sunlight, writing furiously about the love story between Mr. Fang and Mrs. Mo.
Hua Xiali thought for a long time about the name of this story, and finally decided to name the book "Mo Jingchun Village". She wanted to publish the book before Grandpa Fang passed away, and then give it to Grandpa Fang to read, so that Grandpa Fang would not have so many regrets in his heart.
Hua Xiali kept writing quickly, and only put down the pen when his fingers started to hurt. Then he stood up to stretch his muscles. Looking at the tall sugarcanes in the yard that looked like thick bamboo poles, Hua Xiali went to the utility room to get a sickle, and then went to the yard to cut the sugarcane.
She first cut a piece of sugarcane, peeled off the excess leaves, then cut the sugarcane into pieces, peeled it, and took a bite.
Crisp, sweet and juicy, so delicious.
As soon as Huo Beixi entered the courtyard, he saw Hua Xiali standing in the yard eating sugar cane, and asked with a smile, "Is it delicious?"
"It's delicious, especially delicious." Hua Xiali handed the sugarcane in her hand over, and then divided the sugarcane she had just cut into pieces. However, she did not dare to waste the parts that could germinate. Instead, she collected them together and planned to bury them in the soil and take them out to plant sugarcane in the spring after the New Year.
Huo Beixi also took a bite and nodded repeatedly, "It's really delicious, much better than the sugarcane grown by that family in the village."
When the sugarcane from the village was ripe, the uncle gave a few pieces to the brigade for everyone to try. Although they were not tasty, everyone still bought a few pieces each to patronize his business. After all, a few pieces didn't cost much.
Hua Xiali smiled and didn't say much. Could she say that the sugarcane she grew was delicious because of the spiritual spring water? Of course she couldn't say that, but she wouldn't take the initiative to help others. If someone came to her, she might consider it. After all, they were from the same village, and they had never offended her, let alone hurt her.
She has already added spiritual spring water to the wells of many families who grow wood ear mushrooms, so she could add some for his family, but she would only consider helping if they came to her.
"Is it time to harvest the sugarcane?" Huo Beixi asked.
Hua Xiali said, "Don't worry, the winter here is not too cold, so it's okay to wait until the New Year to collect the fruits. The two of us can just collect them slowly."
Hua Xiali did not plan to eat or sell all the sugarcane he planted in the first year. He would leave some for his family and take the rest to Baibao County.
This little bit of sugarcane is not enough!
When the uncle's sugarcane was ready for sale, she would go and buy a truckload, then transport it directly to Baibao County, where there were many mountains and a lot of sugarcane seeds were needed.
After lunch, during the lunch break, Hua Xiali showed Huo Beixi his manuscript and said, "I have started writing the story of Mr. Fang. Do you think I am good at it?"
Huo Beixi hugged Hua Xiali and read the book carefully. Hua Xiali's writing was very immersive. As Huo Beixi read, he felt as if he was drawn into the story.
Hua Xiali chose to start from the place where Grandma Mo married her ex-husband. Her ex-husband married her because of his parents' orders, but he refused to take responsibility for her after marrying her. He gave her a lot of grievances and even had an affair with a female student in the city.
When the ex-husband went back to his hometown during the holidays, the female student followed him reluctantly, so the ex-husband arranged for her to live in a relative's house. When Grandma Mo saw them hugging each other, she was furious and became mentally ill. She ran around in the mountains and finally fell off a cliff in front of everyone.
Then the ex-husband remarried, and the woman he married was the female student he liked.
Then Grandpa Fang found Grandma Mo, took her home and took good care of her. When Grandma Mo woke up, she returned to normal and told Grandpa Fang what she had experienced.
Grandpa Fang had long felt sorry for Grandma Mo, and after taking care of her during this period, he had already fallen in love with her, so he let Grandma Mo marry him.
Thinking that her ex-husband had remarried, Grandma Mo decided to let it go and accepted Mr. Fang's proposal. When she brought Mr. Fang home to meet his parents, everyone realized that she was not dead. They also learned that her ex-husband's family had not even looked for her, and in order to remarry, they directly announced to the outside world that she was dead.
The Mo family thought it was shameful for Grandma Mo to marry a second time, so they drove her out. After Grandma Mo followed Grandpa Fang home, she got married directly at Grandpa Fang's house and no longer had any contact with the Mo family.
After getting married, in order to prove her innocence and to prove that what she had said was true, Grandma Mo took the bed sheet and hung it outside her ex-husband's house for a few days, and then hung it outside the Mo's house for a few days. She wanted to tell everyone that her ex-husband married her but did not take responsibility for her, so it was not her who was embarrassed, but her ex-husband's family.
Later, Grandma Mo took Grandpa Fang to her ex-husband's house and asked for back all the advantages that her ex-husband had taken from the Mo family over the years. Her ex-husband's family had many children and could not afford to pay for his tuition. It was because the Mo family could pay for his tuition that he was willing to marry Grandma Mo.
However, he used the Mo family's money to date a female classmate in the city, and even said shamelessly that "arranged marriages have no feelings". Who arranged the marriage for him? It was obviously his own wish for this marriage.
Grandma Mo took the money back and cut off all contact with her ex-husband's family...
Hua Xiali didn’t write much, and these are the only contents at the moment.
Huo Beixi smiled and said, "I think I can win a prize."
Hua Xiali glared at him coquettishly, "Just try to make me happy. This is the first time I've written a story, except for essays for exams. It's good enough that it's readable. I don't know if people will like it. And you actually said that I can win a prize."
"I think you can focus on rural revitalization, which is more in line with the current main theme. This will also enhance the structure of the book. I think the effect will be better," said Huo Beixi.
