Chapter 393: Unable to understand the actual situation
Hua Xiali now drinks the spiritual spring water as water. After drinking the spiritual spring water in the teacup, Hua Xiali feels as if a surge of strength has emerged in his body, and his whole spirit and energy have recovered a little.
In the afternoon, after Hua Xiali waited for Xiao Liang and Xiao Le to fall asleep, she went to Huo Beixi's yard again to continue planting sugarcane. For some reason, as soon as she came here, she felt a particularly familiar feeling, as if she was supposed to live here.
After planting the sugarcane, Hua Xiali handed it over to Jia Yuqiang to manage, because Jia Yuqiang was in charge of the sugarcane field, so naturally this small piece of sugarcane in the yard should also be handed over to him to manage. Who made him so experienced now!
The uncle who grew sugarcane in their village had been growing sugarcane for several years and had rich experience, but in Hua Xiali's opinion, he still didn't know how to grow sugarcane. So when everyone was growing sugarcane, Hua Xiali went there personally to teach everyone how to grow sugarcane, because she didn't want her sugarcane to be destroyed by this uncle.
The reason why Jia Yuqiang was arranged to be the foreman of the sugarcane field instead of this uncle was because Jia Yuqiang had a strong learning ability, unlike this uncle who thought that he had experience from farming for several years and that everything he did was right.
When Hua Xiali was teaching everyone how to plant sugarcane, she also asked the middle-aged man to watch beside them. She didn't explain it explicitly, but just let him watch on his own and let him discover for himself that his planting method was wrong.
Reservoirs were dug in the sugarcane fields and vegetable plots, and steps were built next to the ponds for people to fetch water. Fences were also built and shade nets were laid on top to prevent the water from evaporating when it is hot and there is no rain.
Although there is more rain during the plum rain season, it does not rain every year. Sometimes it does not rain, and sometimes it can dry up for half a year.
Just like when she was reborn in 1990, there was no rain that whole year until the rainy season of the following year. The rivers and reservoirs dried up, and the mud at the bottom of the riverbed dried up and cracked due to the sun.
Hua Xiali squatted down and added some spiritual spring water to the reservoirs in the sugarcane field and the vegetable field. She put her hands in the water, pretending to wash her hands, and then added some spiritual spring water in. From then on, she only needed to add spiritual spring water occasionally.
Hua Xiali also put some small freshwater clams into the two reservoirs, and told Jia Yujie and Jia Yuqiang to help her take good care of the freshwater clams and not let anyone touch her freshwater clams.
She has no place to raise freshwater clams, so she raises them in a rice field in front of the house. She doesn't want to go anywhere else as she is too busy, so now she just adds these two reservoirs.
After the sugarcane and vegetable fields were settled, Hua Xiali had nothing to do. Before she even thought about picking bamboo shoots, her fourth uncle called and asked her if she wanted to pick bamboo shoots this year.
Bamboo shoots will be sold for several yuan per pound in the future, so stocking up now would be a good deal, so Hua Xiali told her fourth uncle that she would need bamboo shoots again this year. Anyway, they had the key to her house on the border between the city and the countryside, so just like last year, they could just stockpile a truckload of bamboo shoots and send them to the house. She would store the bamboo shoots in the space every now and then.
When April came, the villagers started to plant rice. Hua Xiali's family moved all the rice fields to the front of their house. The rice fields were concentrated together, which was very convenient.
Now that Hua's mother and Hua Chunli are not at home, the family land is naturally under the charge of Hua Xiali and Hua Qiuli. Hua Xiali directly hired people to plant rice. Last year, he paid eight yuan a day to hire people to open up the land, and this year he paid ten yuan a day to hire people to plant rice. The people he hired were from families with poor conditions in the village. While they were working, Hua Xiali also reminded them not to touch the things she raised in the rice fields.
However, the aquaculture business is now managed by Jia Yuxia and his wife. They have a lot of free time because there is nothing for them to do. So Hua Xiali also handed over the management of the rice fields to them. They don't have to do anything but hire people.
Plowing, transplanting, weeding and harvesting are all done by hired people, so they don't have to do it themselves. In addition, aquatic products are grown in the rice fields and pesticides cannot be used, so the step of spraying pesticides is omitted.
Everything was going on the right track and Hua Xiali didn't have to worry about anything. She took care of the two children while writing manuscripts by hand. Sometimes she would go to Hua Tiefeng's grave to take a look, and when she left and passed by Huo Beixi's grave, she couldn't help but stop for a while. She felt that now that she had bought the house where Huo Beixi had lived, it was normal for her to come and see him occasionally when no one came to bury him.
Ever since Zhang Jun went to the lobster restaurant in the provincial capital to help Hua Xiali transport freshwater clams, Hua Xiali asked him to run there once a week. There was travel expenses for the business trip, so Zhang Jun naturally would not refuse.
Maybe Jian Nan also asked the employees who raised fish at the reservoir to go to other places to help her collect freshwater clams, so Zhang Jun was able to transport a lot of freshwater clams every time.
Because Hua Qiuli and other people who handle pig offal were at home, it was difficult for Hua Xiali to cheat, so when Zhang Jun helped her transport freshwater clams for the second time, Hua Xiali asked him to deliver them to the house at the junction of the city and the countryside.
She happened to have bought two neighboring houses there, one for bamboo shoots and the other for freshwater clams, so she could use the space directly when she arrived there.
Anyway, no one asked her how to sell it, so she didn't have to come up with reasons to explain these things.
That day, when the two sisters were having dinner together, Hua Qiuli suddenly said, "I didn't expect that my cousin is divorced."
"Who?" Hua Xiali was very surprised when he heard this. After a while, he remembered that the eldest cousin Hua Qiuli was talking about was Zhang Jingxia from his second aunt's family.
Zhang Jingxia seemed to have got married at the end of 1992. She married a very nice man, but because she hadn't gotten pregnant in five years and the man wanted to have his own child, the two divorced. Afterwards, Zhang Jingxia snatched the husband and child from another woman and successfully became a stepmother.
So five years later was 1997. Zhang Jingxia got divorced this year and successfully took over the position this year. Because of her marriage to Yu Qingxin, Zhang Jingxia got to know a lot of people, and the people she snatched away also had some relationship with her ex-husband's family.
"It's Zhang Jingxia!" Hua Qiuli said.
"Why did my cousin get divorced?" Hua Xiali asked knowingly.
"After being married for so many years without having a child, the man didn't want to wait any longer, so they got divorced," said Hua Qiuli.
Hua Xiali was thinking about Zhang Jingxia in her mind, but in fits and starts. For example, she had only met Zhang Jingxia's husband Yu Qingxin once, at Zhang Jingxia's wedding, but she felt that she was very familiar with Yu Qingxin. This feeling was really annoying because she could never figure out the actual situation.
