Chapter 331 Four Thousand
The Chinese New Year was earlier this year, in January. A few days after New Year's Day, everyone had their winter vacation. Now there was a team leader who was in charge of going to Xinda to purchase goods, so Hua Xiali didn't have to go there in person, so he went home for the winter vacation.
Hua's mother and Hua Chunli naturally came back as well, leaving Zhang Yongfeng to open a salty food shop in the city center. Jia Chenyang's wife was already in the late stage of pregnancy, and the third aunt had already come to the city center to accompany her, so the third aunt was asked to work part-time in the salty food shop for a while, and when An Xiaoyan gave birth to the baby, she would take care of An Xiaoyan and the baby.
This year, whether it was growing vegetables or sugarcane, everyone working under Hua Xiali made a lot of money. After Hua Xiali returned to the village during the winter vacation, they all brought their children or grandchildren to visit Hua Xiali.
Hua Xiali of course understood what they meant. They just wanted to bring the child in front of her to show their presence and let her get to know everyone. Everyone had helped their family before, so she would naturally give a chance to a child with positive values.
Isn't it right for people to give back to their hometown after becoming rich?
But if it is a moral kidnapping and she is asked to do whatever she wants, then she won't give any chance at all.
Huo Beixi rides his motorcycle to work in town every day. It doesn't take him long, so he has time to spend with his son every day. Huo Qian is already busy during the day, smiling and moving, and is very cute.
But children are the cutest at this age. When they grow up, they become very naughty and no one can handle them. She used to take care of Wang Junhuan and Wang Junli, and she was really tortured.
We don’t know how Huo Qian is doing yet!
If he is still so naughty at that time, then let Huo Beixi teach him a lesson. She won't care anyway. She has been through it once and is exhausted. Let Huo Beixi, who has never experienced it, take care of him!
Hua Xiali and Huo Beixi had obtained their wedding photos a long time ago, but Hua Xiali had left them in the city and only brought them back during the holidays. The two of them sat on the sofa, carefully looking through the photos one by one.
"Wife, you are so beautiful!" Huo Beixi praised as he looked at her.
Hua Xiali smiled faintly, "I know you want to make me happy, but there's no need to be so exaggerated, right?"
"What I said is true. I'm not exaggerating at all." Huo Beixi held Hua Xiali's head and kissed him hard.
The photos have been plastic-sealed, so there is no need to worry about them turning yellow or deteriorating. Huo Beixi picked out one photo from each set of wedding photos, put it in the photo frame, and then hung the photo frame on the wall, so that he can see their wedding photos as soon as he looks up. The rest of the photos were saved for later viewing.
Hua Chunli and Zhang Yongfeng also went there to take photos on the Sunday after Hua Xiali and Huo Beixi had taken photos. Zhang Yongfeng did not object because he also wanted to take some nice photos as a souvenir.
The greatest luck in his life was marrying Hua Chunli, otherwise he would have to stay in the village farming for the rest of his life and would never have the chance to earn so much money.
Hua's mother took a photo of both couples and hung them in her new house. Hua Qiuli is only a sophomore in high school now, and it is still too early for her to get married. She should wait at least five or six years until she gets married and takes wedding photos, then take a photo and put them together.
Although her children are well off, running businesses and owning houses in the city, she will definitely have to return to the village to take care of herself when she gets old.
No one had lived in her parents' village for a long time, and it was impossible for her to live there alone, nor was it possible for her to live there with her brother and sister-in-law. The new house in Huazhuang was built for her by her daughter and son-in-law out of love for her. It was her house, and of course she had to live here when she grew old. But she didn't know that when her grandchildren went to college, their home would no longer exist.
Hua Xiali originally wanted to take a family photo with the whole family, but Hua Duo and Huo Qian were still too young and couldn't sit, and their faces couldn't be seen clearly when they were held in his arms for the photo, so he planned to wait until everyone was on summer vacation to take the photo. By then, the two children would be able to sit up and face the camera.
At the end of the year, Hua Xiali took Zhang Jun to a jewelry wholesale market, where she bought hundreds of thousands of jade and gold jewelry wholesale, keeping them for future appreciation.
At this time, the price of jade has not yet reached sky-high prices, and the price of gold has not risen sharply either, so you can stock up more and keep them for future emergencies.
However, gold is easier to sell than jadeite. If one needs money urgently, gold can be sold immediately. Therefore, Hua Xiali's purchases of gold accounted for as much as two-thirds, while jadeite accounted for only one-third.
It is not safe to store so many valuables in a two-story house in the countryside, so Hua Xiali put these things in an inconspicuous box. Even if a thief walked up to it, he probably wouldn't think there were valuables inside.
Because many people go home to celebrate the New Year at the end of the year, Hua Xia Li also gives employees of the bridal shop and the restaurant rotating holidays, half of which is before the New Year and the other half is after the New Year.
There are also customers in the big restaurant who have ordered New Year's Eve dinner, so it is impossible for all the employees to have a day off on the same day. However, not many people come to eat during the New Year period. After all, it is popular to be lively at this time, and it is not popular to eat New Year's Eve dinner outside, so people who work during the New Year period are not that busy.
Jia Yuqiang and Su Si Nian previously helped Hua Xia Li oversee the construction of a large restaurant in the city center. The two worked together every day and spent more than half a year together, so it was hard not to develop feelings for each other.
Although Hua Si Nian has only graduated from junior high school, she has a good heart and is a well-behaved and sensible girl. Now she works with Hua Xiali and is very capable.
My fourth uncle and his wife also liked her very much, so the two families sat down to discuss marriage. Hua Si-nian's parents asked for a dowry of four thousand yuan right away. In the countryside in 1992, this was already a sky-high price. Otherwise, Wang Liang would not have run back to his hometown to marry a cheap wife just because his girlfriend asked for a dowry of several thousand yuan.
Hua Si Nian has a younger brother, so it is understandable that her parents want such a large dowry, after all, they have to make plans for their son.
But the relationship with my daughter has become distant.
Jia Yuqiang and Hua Xiali worked, and although the salary was not low, they had not yet earned 4,000 yuan. As a result, he spent 4,000 yuan on the gift alone. He simply could not afford such a large amount of money.
However, he asked his parents and elder brother for some money, and spent the betrothal gift with gritted teeth. He could earn money again if he lost it, but if he missed the chance to marry her, he would never meet her again.
Fortunately, Hua Si Nian did not tell her family that she was working for Hua Xiali and earning two to three hundred yuan a month, otherwise Jia Yuqiang would not be able to find a wife even with four thousand yuan.
Hua Si Nian's parents insisted that she buy a house for her brother or pay for the house before they agreed to let them get married.
Then Hua Si Nian got married on the 26th of February, and moved from the Huazhuang to her fourth uncle's house. The mountains were just a transition. They both worked in the city center, and after saving money for two years, they could buy a house in the city center.
