Chapter 380 Going Back for the New Year
As for planting sugarcane in Chen Zhuang next year, Hua Xiali had previously approached an uncle who planted sugarcane in Hua Zhuang and asked him how much money he could make a year. The taste of the sugarcane he planted was very average, and the area was not very large, so after a year of hard work, he actually didn't make much money. So Hua Xiali negotiated with him and invited him to join her sugarcane planting base with an annual salary of 4,000 yuan to plant sugarcane for her. He didn't have to sell the sugarcane he harvested this year, and he would use it as sugarcane planting for her next year.
Come to help Hua Xiali plant sugarcane. No matter whether the sugarcane can make money or not, he can get 4,000 yuan, which is much more than what he earned from planting sugarcane. He works hard for a year to grow sugarcane, and he has to sell it to get the money back. If he can't sell it, it will be a loss.
Hua Xiali was given the job of planting sugarcane, and he only took care of planting it, not selling it.
Although the sugarcane he grew was not tasty, Hua Xiali had spiritual spring water that could improve his sugarcane variety, so he didn't have to worry about the taste of the sugarcane.
Hua Xiali first chopped a piece of sugarcane, cut off the tail of the top of the sugarcane to save for seeds, then peeled the sugarcane and said to Xiaodong, "Xiaodong, hold on to that end, hold on tight!"
Xiaodong reached out and grabbed the sugarcane that Hua Xiali had already cut, and smiled at Hua Xiali, "Mom, I've got it."
Hua Xiali raised the sickle in his hand and with a "snap" he chopped off the peeled sugarcane. After that the two of them worked together and chopped three pieces of sugarcane. Hua Xiali asked him to give one piece each to his aunt and father, and then Hua Xiali continued chopping.
This year she will not be spending the New Year at the flower village, so the sugarcane has to be cut in advance, one third of it will be taken to the provincial capital, and the remaining two thirds will be kept for her family.
She didn't want too many outsiders to eat the food irrigated with spiritual spring water. The reason she took one-third of it to the Jian family in the provincial capital was mainly to let Jian's father and mother taste it. This way, when the sugarcane was grown next year, she wouldn't have to worry about sales.
Hua Xiali was chopping vigorously when suddenly the sickle in his hand was snatched away. Hua Xiali looked up and saw that it was Jian Nan. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Xiao Liang and Xiao Le are both asleep?"
"Yes, let me do it!" Jian Nan looked at the sugarcane Hua Xiali was cutting, and then looked at the tall sugarcane standing next to him, "Should we cut it close to the ground?"
Hua Xiali nodded, "Yes."
After that, she stepped aside and let Jian Nan cut the sugar cane. There wasn't much sugar cane, so Jian Nan finished cutting it in a short while. He looked at Hua Xiali and asked, "What do you do next?"
"Just move the sugarcane into the house and put it there." Anyway, the middle-aged man had some sugarcane seeds there, so she didn't need to keep any since she only had a small amount here.
Seeing Hua Xiali was about to reach out to move the sugarcane, Jian Nan hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I'll do it. Don't cut your hand."
Hua Xiali just glanced at him and didn't listen to him. She had the spiritual spring water, so how could she be afraid of such a small scratch? And didn't she do it herself when she needed to tear off the leaves of the sugarcane in the summer before?
Hua Xiali collected the cut sugarcane tails, which had buds on them and could be saved for planting. She took the sugarcane tails to the woodshed, put them against the corner of the wall, and covered them with dry straw.
The temperature inside the woodshed is not as cold as outside, so it won't freeze the sugarcane buds.
Jian Nan moved all the sugar canes to the kitchen and placed them on the floor. Hua Xiali picked up a piece of sugar cane and split it in half. Seeing this, Jian Nan asked in confusion, "Wife, what are you doing?"
"The sugarcane is too long to fit in the car. If you divide it into one-meter-long sections, it will fit in the car. Please help me take the sugarcane back first, so that I don't have to bring too much stuff when I go back for the New Year." Hua Xiali explained.
"How many do you need?" Jian Nan asked.
Hua Xiali thought for a moment and said, "Maybe fifty!"
If the fifty sugarcanes are divided into two, that would be one hundred sugarcanes, which would be several hundred kilograms, enough for everyone to taste. She can guarantee that as long as everyone has tasted the sugarcane, they will never forget the sugarcane she grows.
And once the sugarcane she grows becomes popular, there will definitely be fewer people suffering from strange diseases. By doing this, she can be considered to have done a good thing.
After Jian Nan divided the sugar canes, Hua Xiali tied them up into bundles and carried Jian Nan to the car. "Jian Nan, take the sugar canes back tomorrow. Remember to put them in our room. Don't take them out for the time being."
There is only a small amount of sugarcane, and she doesn't want it to be wasted. This is the key to whether the sugarcane can be sold next year.
The next morning, Jiannan returned with a cart of sugarcane. Xiaodong and Hua Xiali stayed in Huazhuang for the winter vacation and would return to the provincial capital at the end of June.
Every time Hua Xiali waited until Xiaoliang and Xiaole fell asleep, she would take Xiaodong out to play, to the vegetable fields and sugarcane fields that were being reclaimed, and tell him what these lands were used for. In the future, all her property would be inherited by her children, so it would be good to take the children to learn about it now, in case she suddenly disappeared one day and the children would not even know what she had.
As for the Lingquan Space, that was something she took with her, so there was no need to talk about it. It would be useless to talk about it, and it couldn't be transferred to anyone.
Even if she could, she would have to leave something for herself!
I can't leave myself with nothing, what's the difference between that and the life when I raised Wang Junhuan and Wang Junli?
Hua Chunli did not return home after the winter vacation, but stayed in the city center to help Zhang Yongfeng. She did not return until the end of January with Hua's mother and Hua Yun. Xiaodong then played happily with Hua Yun.
Although Hua Xiali hasn't given Hua Yun the spiritual spring water for some time, Hua Xiali had gone to Zhang Yongfeng before and added spiritual spring water to the well, so Hua Yun continued to recuperate and has recovered better than before. The villagers found it amazing when they saw him running around the village.
The Hua family must have spent a lot of money, otherwise how could a child with cerebral palsy recover so well and now look no different from a healthy child.
Hua Qiuli has been in charge of making salty dishes at home, so there is no need to clean the house specially. Just a simple sanitation and it can be used for the New Year.
Because Hua Xiali was going to take his children to the provincial capital to celebrate the New Year, Hua's mother killed the poultry at home early and let Hua Xiali take them to the provincial capital.
There is no place to raise poultry in the provincial capital, so you can only buy it at the market. Can the poultry you buy at the market be as delicious as the ones you raise at home? Hua Qiuli has been making brine at home, and the poultry in the yard are also carefully raised.
Everyone worked together to load the things into the car. Hua's mother, Duohua Xia Li, said, "Xia Li, you don't have to rush back in the first month of the year. We will visit your grandmother's relatives. You just take good care of the children. It won't be too late to come back in the spring."
