Chapter 32: It's all little things

Afterwards, Hua Xiali helped Lu Xiaozhi move the bamboo shoots he had broken in the past two days to other places. Hua Xiali estimated it with his naked eyes and found that it was about 500 kilograms, so he gave Lu Xiaozhi five yuan first. After she weighed it, he would refund her if there was any excess or give her more.

After Lu Xiaozhi returned to the depths of the bamboo forest first, Hua Xiali quickly collected the bamboo shoots into the Lingquan space, and then went to the depths of the bamboo forest to find Lu Xiaozhi, and the two of them broke the bamboo shoots together.

Lu Xiaozhi needs money, and she needs money more than Lu Xiaozhi.

Hua Xiali didn't stop until dusk. Together they moved today's results to the designated place. After Lu Xiaozhi left, Hua Xiali directly put the bamboo shoots into the Lingquan space, then ran out of the bamboo forest to chase Lu Xiaozhi, and returned to the village side by side with Lu Xiaozhi.

It takes about ten minutes to walk from the river bay to the last row of the village. Even if Lu Xiaozhi carried her to the bamboo forest to pick bamboo shoots after entering the village, it would take about twenty minutes to go back and forth. The bamboo shoots that had been picked previously were taken away by the director of the pig farm, and Lu Xiaozhi could not suspect anything.

Even if I suspected him, I had no evidence. After all, anything could happen in twenty minutes.

Watching Lu Xiaozhi walk into the alley where his home was, Hua Xiali couldn't help but stop and hope that in this life, because of his help, this child could have an ordinary life!

In fact, it is not easy to live a peaceful and ordinary life like ordinary people. She had suffered terribly in her previous life. It was not until her home was demolished and she moved into a resettlement village that her life became better. But before she could enjoy a few years of peace, that scumbag Wang Liang came back.

Hua Xiali stood there for a while before he left. Before he reached the public well behind his house, he saw a tall and slender figure drawing water there.

I don’t know what kind of family such an outstanding person comes from, and I don’t know why he is willing to start as a grassroots cadre. With his education and ability, it is unlikely for him to be in this position.

After all, a university degree in those days was very valuable, and Huo Beixi was more than qualified to be the director of a certain bureau, but he happened to become the village party secretary of Qinglong Village.

Seeing Huo Beixi's eyes looking over, Hua Xiali subconsciously tilted the basket and put some wild orchids in the basket, mainly for show.

Otherwise, if her mother asked her why she had been out for so long, how would she explain it?

She can lead the whole family to make money, but she will never tell her mother about the things in Lingquan Space. Each of the five fingers has its own length, and parents naturally have their own favorite children. Her father likes the eldest sister, her mother likes the youngest sister, and she, the second child in the middle, is not that favored.

If her parents knew that she had such a good thing, would they ask her to do something, or perhaps let her bear more of the responsibility of supporting them in their old age?

The feeling is completely different when she does it voluntarily and when someone else asks her to do it.

If it is her own will, she can take care of her parents' care by herself, so that her elder sister and younger sister don't have to worry about anything and can enjoy life. This is naturally possible!

But if her parents asked her to take on all the responsibilities because they felt sorry for her older and younger sisters, she would be unhappy, unwilling and unbalanced.

Just like the things in her hand, she can give them to you voluntarily, but you can't keep thinking about them. If you keep thinking about them, the meaning will be different.

However, her parents' partiality is not as serious as that of other families. Outsiders cannot see that her parents are partial, but it can be seen from some small things in life.

For example, her father liked to carry her older sister on his back and play with her. When she was young and ignorant, she always thought that her father was tired after playing with her older sister and could not play with her and her younger sister. As she grew up, she gradually realized that in her parents' minds, the weight and status of the three sisters were different.

Also, when her mother took the three sisters out shopping, most of the time she would hold the younger sister's hand or hold her arm. When buying things, she would ask the younger sister what she liked to eat, and then buy according to the younger sister's taste. She and her older sister were forced to accept the younger sister's taste.

But they were just small things, harmless, her parents had not wronged her, let alone treated her badly, and she would not resent her parents because of these small things.

And compared to those families that really favor boys over girls, she is already very lucky.

Hua Xiali glanced at Huo Beixi, then walked past him with the basket in his hand, walked to the wall of his own yard, reached inside, unbolted the door, opened the small door, and then entered his own yard.

After dinner, Hua Xiali asked Zhang Yongfeng to help her wash, peel and cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces, while she took out a few sticks of firewood from the bottom of the pot for boiling bath water, lit the Teppanyaki grill, and then poured oil on the Teppanyaki grill. After the oil was heated and emitted a domineering aroma, Hua Xiali poured the cut potato pieces in and then slowly fried them.

She had already added a little spiritual spring water into the oil kettle in advance, so she didn't need to add more later. She didn't dare to add too much, otherwise if the food she made was too delicious, it would definitely arouse other people's suspicion and they would complain to her whether she had added something that shouldn't be added, which would cause her to be unable to do business in the future.

"Brother-in-law, you just watch carefully, because you will be doing this with me next month." Hua Xiali said with a smile.

"Okay." Zhang Yongfeng nodded seriously.

Hua's mother asked curiously, "Xia Li, how are you going to sell these potatoes?"

Hua Xiali pointed to the take-out box and said, "50 cents a box."

Hua's mother and Zhang Yongfeng both widened their eyes in shock. Hua's mother even exclaimed, "50 cents a box? That's too expensive, right? I think potatoes in the market are only five cents a pound, right?"

"What's so expensive about it?" Hua Xiali raised her eyebrows, pointed at the teppanyaki, oil, chili powder, and take-out boxes, and said, "Mom, you can't just look at the cost of the potatoes, you have to look at all the things I prepared. Don't these things cost money? And isn't it worth it for my brother-in-law to wash and cut the potatoes? And isn't it hard for me to drag these things back from the farmers' market? If you add all the things together, fifty cents a box is still cheap!"

What's more, she also added spiritual spring water in it. Regular consumption can quietly regulate the body and strengthen the body. This is a great thing that cannot be bought with any amount of money. She feels that it is a bargain for everyone at only 50 cents a box.

Hua's mother thought about it carefully and felt that it was true. Even though the cost of potatoes is low, it is not just the cost of potatoes. If all costs are taken into account, then fifty cents is not expensive.

After the potatoes were fried, Hua Xiali sprinkled some chili powder on them, and then served some spicy potatoes to Hua's mother and Zhang Yongfeng, "Mom, brother-in-law, you try them and see how they taste!"
