Chapter 89: A New Life Begins
Now that they have moved to a new home, of course they have to eat warm house meals. Now that the conditions are met at home, they have to do it well and let the whole village see that their family has really risen.
So the house-warming dinner was scheduled for Saturday. Coincidentally, Hua Chunli and Hua Qiuli were both back on Saturday, so we could have a good time.
In mid-to-late September, the temperature was not low, so we just put tables and chairs in the open space in front of the door and let everyone eat outside. After deciding on the warming meal, Hua's mother called relatives and asked them to come over for the warming meal on Saturday.
Hua Xiali also prepared the ingredients two days in advance. Just like when he held a graduation banquet for Hua Chunli, each family was responsible for making four dishes. Hua Xiali's family made four meat dishes, and the remaining dishes were made by the families of his third and fourth uncles. Everyone worked together to prepare twenty tables of banquet.
Hua Chunli and Hua Qiuli both came back from classes on Friday afternoon. When they saw their new home, they were both very excited. Their family was finally going to start a new life.
They were going to have a room-warming dinner on Saturday, so they locked the doors of all the rooms on Saturday morning. They didn't want the incident of Hua Chunli's admission letter being stolen to happen again.
The villagers, relatives from Hua's father's side, and relatives from Hua's mother's side all arrived very early. Everyone sat at the table drinking tea, chatting, and eating snacks, while some people walked around.
When relatives learned that Hua Xiali had spent more than 40,000 yuan to buy more than a dozen acres of wasteland to grow vegetables, they all admired Hua Xiali's courage and even asked his mother how much loan Hua Xiali owed.
Mother Hua said helplessly, "How should I know? Since we separated, she no longer listens to me, let alone tell us these things. Forget it, let her do whatever she wants. Anyway, as long as she doesn't ask me to help pay off the loan, I don't care whether she lives or dies. I will just treat this daughter as if I don't have her. If she is still filial to me and gives me money, I will take it. After all, this is what she should do. If she doesn't have money, I won't take the initiative to ask her for it. But if she wants me to help her, that's impossible."
As Hua's mother spoke, she waved her hands angrily, giving people the impression that she didn't care about Hua Xiali at all.
Moreover, after learning that Hua Xiali might have owed another loan, those who wanted to introduce Hua Xiali to someone completely gave up the idea.
They don't dare to introduce a partner to Hua Xiali. Wouldn't that harm the man?
And when the man knows these things, he will hate them to death.
They don't know that Hua Xiali has exactly this purpose. She doesn't want many people to come to her just because she has made money. Those who come for money are not sincere. They will also leave for money in the future, and may even kill people and steal treasures.
Hua Xiali doesn't need such a person, and she would never spend a penny on such a person.
The villagers are very envious of Hua Tiefeng's family. They don't have to bear Hua Xiali's loans, but they can profit from Hua Xiali. It can be said that they have taken all the good things in the world.
It is impossible for them to say that they are not jealous.
They also hope to have a daughter like Hua Xiali who can borrow money to support the family without letting the family bear a penny of debt, but they do not have such a daughter.
Even if their daughter was brave enough to take out a loan, she would not be able to pay it back, and it would still drag them down, so they could only think about it in their hearts.
Naturally, the Hua family also invited the village cadres from the brigade to the warm-house dinner. When the village cadres came over, the deputy branch secretary also gave a speech.
The first is to wish the Hua family a better and more prosperous life, and the second is to express gratitude to Hua Xiali for helping everyone make money.
Now many people buy goods from Hua Xiali and sell them. In a month, they can earn several times more than the wages of ordinary people in the city. Soon everyone will be able to build houses and buy motorcycles.
Finally, he also talked about the people who worked for Hua Xiali, reminding them that they should work well for their boss after receiving their salary and not cause losses to their boss due to personal reasons.
Aren't there four male villagers working in Hua Xiali's vegetable field? They are paid 100 yuan a month, so for four people that means 400 yuan a month, which is quite a lot of expenses.
Although only four people are needed now, more people may be needed in the future, which means that more and more people will work under Hua Xiali.
The deputy branch secretary said this to remind everyone to do everything seriously. If they don't work hard and are fired by the boss and lose the opportunity to make money, they should not blame anyone.
After the hot and noisy warm-house meal was over, the owners of the tables, chairs, benches, pots, pans, and bowls packed up their things and moved them back home. After all, the whole family had eaten a free meal at Hua's house without spending a penny, so they had to do something!
Hua Xiali was not short of money, but she did not buy a TV because she did not like having a bunch of people come to her house every day to watch TV. She would not know if someone could sneak into the room and steal things.
Moreover, she makes salted fish in the backyard at home, and she can’t let others steal this skill.
The most important thing is that Hua's father needs a quiet environment to recuperate. The noisy environment all day long is not conducive to his recuperation.
At night, the whole family sat on the comfortable sofa. Hua's mother even bounced back and forth like a child, saying, "This sofa is so soft. It's so comfortable to sit on."
"Mom, don't you think about how much this sofa costs? It was all bought by Xia Li." Hua Chunli said.
Hua Xiali smiled faintly, "Don't talk about the money when buying things for the family. Besides, my parents and my eldest brother-in-law also contribute to our family's income. This means that these things were bought by our whole family, not just by me."
Hua Qiuli thought that she had not done anything for her family so far, but instead she and her second sister lived a good life that everyone envied. She secretly swore in her heart that she must study hard, get admitted to a good university, and repay her family in the future, and not always let her second sister make sacrifices.
"Sister, please help me register for Dad at the city hospital on Tuesday morning, because I plan to take Dad to the city hospital for treatment on Tuesday. Dad can sit up now, and continuing the treatment at the city hospital should be more effective." Hua Xiali said.
After this treatment, she will increase the amount of spiritual spring water her father uses so that he can stand up. It will soon be four years since the accident. It took him such a long time to stand up. Except for Hua Qingmei, no one would doubt that he has finally stood up. After all, he has been treated for four years and it is indeed time for him to stand up.
But Hua Qingmei is currently suffering from amnesia, so there is no need to worry for now.
"Xia Li, Dad is my dad too, and it's my duty to do something for him. You can ask me to do anything for him, there's no need to use the word 'help'." Hua Chunli emphasized.
"I understand." Hua Xiali nodded with a smile.
