Chapter 377 Buying Land
After counting the money, Hua Xiali sorted the money into stacks and tied them up with hair ropes. This way, he could tell how much money there was just by looking at the number of bundles.
Because Halogen was initially divided equally among the three sisters, until Hua Chunli went to college and Zhang Yongfeng opened a halogen shop in the city center. Even though Hua Chunli withdrew her shares, Hua Xiali received more than 10,000 yuan a month in the first few months, and after several months, it accumulated to almost 100,000 yuan. Then Hua Xiali and Hua Qiuli divided it equally, and they also increased production. Hua Xiali received about 400,000 yuan, and now the total is 500,000 yuan.
As for Hua Qingmei, the dividends from several people amounted to 35,000 yuan. Add to that the red envelopes received from the child's full-month banquet and the red envelopes given by Jian's mother and father, Hua Xiali now has nearly 700,000 yuan.
It would be more than enough for her to open a crayfish restaurant in the city center after the New Year. Maybe she could also open a bridal shop. After all, she has three children, so the more money she can make, the better!
"Wife, you are better at making money than me." Jian Nan leaned on Hua Xiali and said with emotion.
He works at home, not relying on his own strength, but on his status, unlike Hua Xiali, who relies entirely on his own strength.
Hua Xiali smiled and said nothing. She made money by cheating with the spiritual spring water. If she didn't have the spiritual spring water, she could of course make money, but she wouldn't make that much!
In order to keep Hua Qingmei's snail business going, she also added spiritual spring water to Hua Qingmei's well. After all, if Hua Qingmei made money, she could get more money. Otherwise, she couldn't be distracted by so many industries alone.
She remembered that in her previous life, she opened big restaurants in the town and the city center. Within ten years, she became a multi-millionaire, which showed that the catering business was indeed profitable. However, the Jian family was in the catering business in the provincial capital, and she certainly could not run the catering business in the provincial capital to compete with her in-laws. So she wanted to open a crayfish restaurant, a malatang restaurant, and a skewers restaurant. As long as she was not in competition with the Jian family, it would be fine.
By then, she should be able to become a multi-millionaire in less than ten years.
Because Hua Xiali brought back twins, twins are rare in their place, let alone twins, so many people came to visit the twins.
However, Hua Xiali and Jian Nan were standing by, only allowing people to look but not touch. Some people were so cruel that they would deliberately pinch the child and make him cry. Hua Xiali was unwilling to let her child suffer like this, so she directly refused anyone who wanted to hold the child.
We didn't hold a full-month banquet at home, nor did we collect money or gifts from everyone, so why would we harm the child just to satisfy everyone's ideas?
Jian Nan rested for a night and drove back to the provincial capital the next morning. Although he worked in a family business, he could not be willful and had to do his job well. Even Jian's mother and father would not take leave unless it was necessary!
Now that all aspects of the Halogen recipe are taken care of, there is no need for Hua Qiuli to watch the whole process. Hua Xiali asked Hua Qiuli to help her look after the child while she went out.
Hua Xiali came to the brigade headquarters and bought the barren land where she grew vegetables in her previous life. Although the purchase time was a few years later than in her previous life, fortunately the price did not increase much. Then she also bought the barren land where Chen Zhuang grew sugarcane.
A vegetable plot and a sugarcane field cost nearly 150,000 yuan. Because she was now Jian Nan's wife, everyone thought that the money came from the Jian family, and no one suspected Hua Xiali.
It is winter now and there is no land to plant. Only a few people grow rapeseed and wheat in the fields. But they don't have to watch over the fields every day, so most people rest at home.
So Hua Xiali recruited one person from each family to open up the wasteland. The wage in the city was about ten yuan a day, but the countryside has its own market, and she couldn't set the price too high, otherwise it would result in everyone not being able to find odd jobs in the future. So Hua Xiali just charged according to the market price, six yuan a day.
As for why each family hired one person, it was not because she wanted to help the people who had been unfriendly to their family before, but because there were not enough people. If they wanted to open up these two plots of land before the spring, they had to find more people.
After the new year, she is going to open a crayfish restaurant in the provincial capital. By then, she will need some side dishes such as cucumbers, onions, bean sprouts, peppers, etc. If she can grow them herself, she will try to grow them.
The most important thing is that if this piece of land for growing vegetables is demolished in the future, we will be able to receive a compensation for the demolition.
As for the sugarcane field, Hua Xiali still planned to plant sugarcane because in her previous two lives, she led Qinglong Village to become a major sugarcane village, so that every household had more income, and she still planned to plant sugarcane in this life.
Because Huo Beixi was buried in the flower village cemetery, she was destined to return to the flower village frequently and start some business in the countryside so that she could return with a legitimate reason.
Hua Xiali also asked everyone to dig a reservoir in the vegetable and sugarcane fields. Whether growing vegetables or sugarcane, watering is necessary. It is impossible to rely solely on rain from the sky. After all, it is impossible to have good weather and good harvests every year.
Digging a reservoir can be used for watering when it is not raining, and for storing water when it rains. This is simply the best of both worlds, and it will also be convenient for her to come here often to add spiritual spring water.
Hua Xiali did not tell anyone that she was going to grow vegetables and sugarcane. No one knew what she was going to do yet. Even if someone came to ask her secretly, Hua Xiali would not reveal a single word. Everyone would naturally know after the spring.
The matters concerning the vegetable and sugarcane fields were arranged properly, and everyone was working in an orderly manner. Hua Xiali went to the brigade headquarters again and said that he wanted to buy the house where Huo Beixi had lived before and use it as a dormitory for employees in the future.
Huo Beixi had been dead for many years, so the house naturally belonged to the villagers. Everyone was afraid, and because there was no well, no one had ever thought of taking possession of the house.
Now that someone came to buy the house, the village would also have more income, so naturally they were willing to buy it. So Hua Xiali paid 500 yuan to buy the house.
After getting the key, Hua Xiali couldn't wait to check Huo Beixi's house. The door lock was rusty, but fortunately there was no rust inside the keyhole. Although it was troublesome, he still opened the gate.
Dust flew everywhere, and Hua Xiali quickly covered his nose with his sleeve. There were weeds growing in the yard, but now they had withered and were lying on the ground. However, from the length of the dead grass, it could be seen how tall the grass had grown before. It was obvious that no one had come to take care of the house for Huo Beixi after his death for so many years.
Hua Xiali turned around and closed the courtyard gate, then pushed the bolt with great effort. Then she stepped on the dry grass and walked towards the door step by step. The scenes of her previous two lives appeared in front of her eyes like a movie, making her eyes red.
"Huo Beixi, I miss you so much..."
