Chapter 139 Chinese New Year

The main reason is that she is afraid that Hua Xiali will be replaced after the New Year, so she comes here to show her presence and keep in touch with them. In fact, as long as they don't make mistakes and don't cause her huge losses, she will not replace them.

In fact, when the twelfth lunar month comes, every household is very busy. For example, they have to dry glutinous rice, make rice candy, prepare rice cakes, rice noodles, and rice dumplings. However, these things are too time-consuming and laborious, so Hua Xiali prepared everything.

Rice candy, rice cakes, rice noodles, rice dumplings, tofu, she found two families to help with the processing of each item. She paid them and asked them to send her as much as they made every day to her new home. Then she could put the products directly into her own space and eat them slowly.

Because these things are still the most delicious when they are handmade in this era. In the future, they will all be processed by machines and will no longer taste the same as they do now.

What she did was a win-win cooperation, as she got to eat things she couldn't in her previous life, and others also earned money from their work.

If someone asked her, she would say that she took it outside and sold it. Who could ask her for confirmation?

But it's handmade and the output is not high, so she can only stockpile slowly. If she can't stockpile much this year, she will continue to stockpile next year. As long as she is willing to pay, others will naturally be willing to help her. After all, there is nothing to do in the twelfth lunar month, and many people are willing to take this opportunity to make money.

But she was worried about the people she didn't have a good relationship with, as she was afraid that they would tamper with the food or not pay attention to hygiene, so she asked people with whom she had a good relationship to do it.

Moreover, someone in their family works under Hua Xiali. In order to keep their job, they will take it as seriously as if it were their own family.

The end of the year is the time when consumption is the strongest, because many people who work outside their hometowns have returned home, and everyone has some money in their hands, so they are willing to buy things.

Hua Xiali's warehouse was busy until noon on New Year's Eve before it closed to give everyone a holiday. Although it was a holiday, everyone still had to take turns to be on duty. Hua Xiali did not force anyone to be assigned, and everyone coordinated their own time based on the actual situation.

The same goes for the vegetable fields at my fourth uncle's house and Huazhuang. Everyone coordinates on their own. She doesn't get involved. She is just responsible for paying wages.

Because there were always people supervising them on Wang Liang's side, Hua Xiali would be the first to know about any situation of Wang Liang. Ever since they met on the minibus that day and Hua Xiali sent him to the Public Security Bureau, Wang Liang had never been able to get close to Hua Xiali again, because Hua Xiali had received the news long ago and asked people to block him at the brigade headquarters.

Everyone was holding a broom and a shovel in their hands. If Wang Liang dared to appear on the road to Huazhuang, they would beat him to a pulp. In any case, they would never let him get past the brigade headquarters and reach Huazhuang.

Their family had no relatives in Huazhuang, and if they wanted to find village cadres, they could just go directly to the brigade headquarters. There was no need for him to go any further.

Wang Liang's wife was at home, but he still wanted to get close to Hua Xiali. Wasn't this just to make everyone think that Hua Xiali was their mistress? How could Hua Xiali let Wang Liang do what he wanted?
As long as he dares to come, she will beat him. There is no need to be polite to such a shameless person, but he didn't do anything, and there is no way to catch him. Hua Xiali's family raised two pigs before. When the pig collectors came to the village in December to collect the pigs, they did not sell them because the vegetables their pigs eat are grown with spiritual spring water, and there is also a little spiritual spring water in the water the pigs drink, so they found a butcher to kill the pigs, leaving the meat for their own New Year's meal. Hua Xiali took the remaining meat out and sold it. In fact, she sold it to herself because she put the pigs into the space.

Hua Xia Liye sold the chickens, ducks and geese at home to himself in the same way. It would be more pleasant to keep such good things for himself instead of selling them to others.

On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, when Hua Xiali's family was preparing the New Year's Eve dinner in the kitchen, their third and fourth uncles came over and asked them if they wanted to go with them to pay homage to their grandparents.

Hua's mother asked Zhang Yongfeng to go with them, but did not let Hua Xiali and her two sisters go. Those two old sisters were extremely partial to them and had never hugged them. Why would they go to see them?
My third uncle and fourth uncle both have sons, so they don’t feel that their grandparents are partial to them. After all, their hearts are biased towards the families with sons, so they naturally can’t feel the same feeling of partiality towards the families without sons.

Hua Xiali didn't want to go either. She originally thought that her mother would be unhappy if she didn't go. Unexpectedly, her mother directly asked them not to go. It seems that her mother is not the kind of person who cares so much about what others think.

To be honest, she no longer had any impression of her grandparents. Even though there was only one family between the two families, her grandparents had never appeared since she was a child, and they were the ones who went to visit them.

When they were young, they had to farm. Hua Tiefeng was not at home, so their mother took them and their three sisters to work. No matter how late they were or how tired they were, they never came to help, not even to help cook. Such a thing would never happen. But their family didn't have much money, so they couldn't ask others to help.

Because she had rarely seen it, Hua Xiali had no idea that she was favored over boys. It was not until she grew up that she realized that she had been favored over boys since she was a child.

But despite this, they often went to visit their grandparents when they were sick. Now that I think about it, they disliked them so much, so they must have been unhappy when they went to visit them, right?
Just like Hua Tiefeng, they took care of him so wholeheartedly, but he either turned his face away or scolded them. If he liked them, he would not treat them like this.

Ever since grandpa and grandma passed away, Hua Xiali's family, third uncle's family and fourth uncle's family no longer get together for the New Year's Eve dinner. Instead, they just separate families and have their own New Year's Eve dinner behind closed doors.

Now that Hua Xiali has a man like Zhang Yongfeng in her family, she no longer has to squeeze into other people's homes for New Year's Eve dinner.

The whole family works together to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner, and even prepares dishes for the next few days and puts them in the cupboard. This way, when relatives come, they don't have to cook slowly, they can just heat it up and eat, and they have more time to drink tea and chat.

And every household here does this, it can be said to be a custom!

In the evening, a family of five sat together to eat the New Year's Eve dinner. Looking at the sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner on the table, Hua Xiali felt a little dazed. In the past few decades in her past and present lives, she had never seen such a sumptuous meal in person.

Because in her previous life, after her two sons got married, they both stayed in their houses in the city to celebrate the New Year, and no one asked her to go over to celebrate the New Year with them, so she didn't go uninvited and cause trouble. She either celebrated the New Year alone or stayed at her job.
