Chapter 7 Bamboo shoots are delicious

"Dad, you are so good. You are the best dad in the world. Look at our village. How many girls are there like us three sisters who can study for so many years and have such a high level of education?"

Hua Chunli dropped out of school, but she is still the most educated girl in their Huazhuang village group.

Although it is already the 1990s, there are still many people who cannot afford to go to school. Many children in their village failed to get into junior high school and stayed at home for a few years. When they reached a certain age, they either went out to work or got married. How many of them could continue their studies like them?

Although Hua's father and mother were both from ordinary peasant families, their ideological realm is incomparable to that of ordinary people. Nowadays, who doesn't think that girls are raised for other people and spending money to raise them is a waste of money?

But they never thought of this and just wanted to give them the best.

"So Dad, you must relax and don't think too much. Take good care of your health and watch us three sisters bring honor to our Hua family and make our Hua family live a good life." Hua Xiali said firmly.

Now that she is back, and with the blessing of the spiritual spring water, she will definitely be able to make her family live a good life.

Hua Xiali had to say nice words to coax Hua's father, who was almost furious and crazy at the moment, otherwise the insults would not stop today.

Because he has so much energy, he can just rant for hours.

Hua Xiali first asked his father if he needed anything. Seeing that his father didn't need anything, he went to the backyard to feed the chickens and pigs.

Hua Xiali carried the wooden bucket and went out through the small door on the backyard wall. He went to the public well in the village and fetched a bucket of well water. He then added a teacup of spiritual spring water into the bucket and filled the basins used by the chickens, ducks and pigs to drink with the water mixed with the spiritual spring water.

It’s okay if the chickens, ducks and pigs grow bigger. If anyone asks you about it, just say you fed them diligently!

Afterwards, Hua Xiali carried a wooden bucket and went over to water the vegetables. He watered the vegetable table, potatoes, garlic, and the fruits and vegetables that had just been planted in the spring.

After this place was demolished in the previous life, people had no place to grow vegetables and had to buy everything. Hua Xiali hasn't eaten the fruits and vegetables she grew herself for many years, and she missed the taste very much.

She missed her parents, relatives and everything at home. Now that she was reborn, she wanted to cherish every day.

After watering, Hua Xiali picked all the vegetables, because if they were not picked, they would get old and bloom and become inedible. She left a handful for lunch, and then put the rest together with the basket into the spiritual spring space in the room. She wanted to see if this spiritual spring space could store things. If it could, she would not have to worry about things going bad in the future.

Hua's mother and Hua Chunli came back at noon. The seedlings had been planted. There was not much to do for the time being. It was not so busy and they did not have to stay in the fields all the time.

At noon, when the mother, daughter and three of them were eating together, Hua Xiali said, "Mom, I'm going to go to my fourth uncle's house tomorrow."

Hua's mother asked curiously, "What are you doing at your fourth uncle's house?"

"Doesn't my fourth uncle have a lot of fruit trees? I went there to get some fruit trees back. I want to plant some fruit trees in front of and behind my house. This way, when the fruits are ripe, I can sell the ones I can't finish eating, and it can also bring more income to the family." Hua Xiali said.

Mother Hua thought about it and said, "Okay, the fruit will bear fruit in a few years. Even if we can't sell it, we can eat it at home. This way we can save money on buying fruit."

In the previous life, this place was demolished when Hua Xiali's two sons were in college. That means this place will be demolished in about twenty years, and everyone will have to leave.

Hua Xiali wanted to go to her fourth uncle's house, not only for the fruit trees, but also to find a suitable place for her family to live. Her fourth uncle's house was in the mountains, with a good environment and good air. She could move there in the future, grow tea and fruit there, and let her parents live there in their old age. It would be nice for the whole family to live together.

Hua Xiali raised his eyebrows and spoke tentatively, "Then I'll go this afternoon and stay at my fourth uncle's house tonight, is that okay?"

Anyway, I have an appointment with Huo Beixi to get the money tomorrow night, so it has nothing to do with tonight's matter!

"Okay, of course." Hua's mother said helplessly, "Give your fourth uncle the old hen that Grandma Su Weidong sent over."

"Okay." Hua Xiali nodded with a smile. Now there was no money to buy anything good at home, so she decided to take the old hen with her. How could she go to her relatives' house empty-handed, especially since she had to ask for help from them!

After dinner, the mother, daughter and two other members of the Hua family carried Hua's father out of the room, carried him to the yard and placed him on the prepared mat so that he could bask in the sun. Looking at his wife and daughter who were surrounding him and asking about his well-being, Hua's father's eyes were filled with hatred.

Hua Xiali didn't understand why her father looked at her and her like that. She always thought that her father was in a bad mood and his mentality was unbalanced.

But when she found out the real reason, she regretted it so much that she wanted to slap herself to death.

After basking in the sun for nearly half an hour, Hua Xiali carried Hua's father back to the room, tidied himself up, put the old hen in a basket, and went out with the basket.

After walking for twenty minutes, I arrived under a poplar tree beside a wide road and stood there waiting for the bus.

Tall poplar trees are planted on both sides of the road, with large patches of emerald green leaves rustling in the spring breeze.

They have minibuses for transportation here, so traveling is quite convenient.

After waiting for a while, they saw a minibus coming with a cloud of dust. Hua Xiali quickly covered his mouth and nose with his hands. This is what dirt roads in the countryside are like. When the weather is good, the dust is flying. When the weather is bad, the road is so muddy that you can't even sit in the car. If you want to go out, you have to put on your own boots.

The car stopped and the door opened. Hua Xiali got on the car, paid the fare, and found a seat in the back.

My fourth uncle's house is in the mountains and there is no direct bus. I have to take the bus to the town first, and then take a bus that passes by my fourth uncle's house. After getting off the bus, I have to walk for half an hour on a small road to reach my fourth uncle's house.

That is to say, it takes about an hour and a half to get from her home to her fourth uncle's home.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Hua Xiali appeared on the stone bridge in front of his fourth uncle's house. Under the stone bridge was a two-meter-wide river. The depth of the river depended on how much water there was in the river. At this season, the water level was only a few dozen centimeters.

Fourth uncle's house was a few meters away from the stone bridge. Not far to the right of the door was a well, and to the left was a bamboo forest. Seeing the dense bamboos and bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest, Hua Xiali suddenly had a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

How could she have forgotten about this?

Bamboo shoots are delicious.
