Chapter 157 Children are children
There were circles of ripples in the water, which were the fish making their final struggles. It was already spring and summer was about to come, so it was no longer cold. Hua Xiali went straight into the water and caught those big fish whose backs could already be seen.
As for the small fish, she often went to her fourth uncle's house, and whenever she could see the back of a small fish, she would start collecting it.
She walked slowly and collected the water slowly. The entire reservoir was very large, and it was quite tiring to walk forward step by step. However, she felt a little bit reluctant to see so many fish about to die from lack of water.
I don’t know when it will rain. Now even the water in the reservoir is almost dry. If it doesn’t rain, how can we farm?
She also planted so many vegetables and sugarcane, which naturally needed water. If it didn't rain, the well water would be drained.
For several days in a row, Hua Xiali came to the reservoir and worked for several hours. There were villages with people living near the reservoir, but no one came, so Hua Xiali had a good time.
After the weather got warmer, Hua Xiali took ten truck drivers to the south. This was because there were many garment factories in the south, and the clothes were of many new styles. Also, summer was about to begin, so the demand for skirts and sandals increased. The south was more developed than other places, and there were more varieties of goods.
Skirts, sandals, toys, accessories, watches, bicycles, tape recorders, books, daily necessities..., she just put one thing in a whole cart, and each cart was filled to the brim. Everyone made money, and so did she.
There is also a jewelry and jade street here. She took the opportunity while the drivers were resting in the hotel to go to the jewelry and jade street alone. The wholesale market here has raw materials, semi-finished products and finished products. You can get whatever you want. However, Hua Xiali has no way to process the raw materials and semi-finished products, and she can't find anyone who can do it.
So she just looked at the finished products and wholesaled a lot of top-grade jade bracelets with good quality and color, yellow, pink, green, purple and transparent. Top-grade ones like these are expensive and not many people are willing to buy them, so Hua Xiali wholesales them to you, waiting for them to appreciate in value.
She wholesaled a lot of the remaining jade leaves, jade pendants, jade Buddha statues, peace knots, earrings, rings... but she doesn't plan to sell them for the time being, because she already has a lot of product varieties and she doesn't want to add new ones. She decided to keep the bags and jewelry and jade for herself.
In May, Hua Chunli and Hua Qiuli both returned from holiday. At that time, the Labor Day holiday had not been reduced, so Hua Chunli and Hua Qiuli both had seven days off.
However, Hua Qiuli was going to take the high school entrance exam, so Hua Xiali didn't let her get involved in the family affairs, and let her concentrate on studying. Moreover, as a junior high school student, she now had a deposit of 130,000 yuan, two two-story houses, and two residential plots. What else did she need to worry about? Her only task now was to study hard.
In the future, even if she just rests at home, she won’t have to worry about anything.
In rural areas, this money can never be spent.
As for Hua Chunli wanting to work with Zhang Yongfeng, Hua Xiali naturally would not interfere. Originally, the matter of braised food had been handed over to Zhang Yongfeng, and Hua Chunli was still in college, unlike Hua Qiuli who was at a critical juncture now.
When the family sat together for dinner in the evening, Hua Chunli looked at Hua Xiali while holding the rice bowl and asked, "Xia Li, are you planning to register for school in the second half of this year?"
Hua Xiali said thoughtfully, "After the senior high school students take the college entrance examination, I will go to the school to have a good talk with the teacher. If I can study at home after registering, I will register. If I have to stay in school, then I will do the same as you and register in April or May. This way, I can pay one semester less tuition."
I will register this year, take the college entrance examination in June next year, and go to university in the second half of next year.
"How are you doing with your studies now?" Hua Chunli asked. "Not bad, I find time to study every day!" I had learned the freshman year courses before dropping out, and now I just need to review them, which is easy and quick. The most important thing is the sophomore year courses, which I simply study by myself and ask Huo Beixi if I don't understand. I am doing pretty well now.
Huo Beixi was like an excellent tutor. Under his guidance, and with her already smart brain, self-study was not too difficult for her.
The next morning, Hua Xiali was very shocked to see Leng Yuye and Gao Shuaiquan appear outside the courtyard gate at the same time. She had never expected Gao Shuaiquan to come, let alone that the two of them would appear at the same time.
So Hua Xiali let them in and explained to Hua's mother how Gao Shuaiquan helped Hua Qiuli. When Hua's mother learned that Hua Qiuli was rescued by Gao Shuaiquan, she was very grateful and thanked him repeatedly.
Gao Shuai's fair face flushed, "Auntie, you're welcome. I didn't do anything. No matter who sees this, they won't just ignore it."
Hua Xiali brought some candies on a sugar plate and made tea for them. "This is the freshly picked Mingqian tea this year. Please enjoy it."
"Thank you." Gao Shuaiquan picked up the teacup and drank directly. Before Hua Xiali could remind him, he was scalded. Gao Shuaiquan smiled embarrassedly and then put the teacup back on the coffee table.
Children are children. Their every move reveals their childishness. They are so cute.
Hua's mother said, "Qiu Li, it's a rare opportunity for your classmates to come to our countryside. You can take your classmates to the river bend to take a walk and see the scenery."
Hua Qiuli nodded, "Okay."
Their flower village has no mountains, lakes, trees or orchards, and there is nothing fun to do. There is only a bamboo forest across the river bend, and there are two ponds in the village on the other side of the bamboo forest.
"Leng Yuye, let's go together later!" Hua Xiali said to Leng Yuye.
If Hua Qiuli and Gao Shuaiquan were seen by the villagers, they would definitely point fingers at Hua Qiuli, saying that she was so young and knew how to bring male classmates home. Hua Xiali didn't want Hua Qiuli to encounter such things.
And don't expect the villagers to become better people. They are all from the last generation. Few of them have ever received education and understand any principles. They only know how to say what they want to say and do what they want to do. They don't realize that their behavior can cause great harm to others.
After having lunch at home, Hua Xiali brought out straw hats and handed two new hats without sweat marks to Leng Yuye and Gao Shuaiquan respectively. He and Hua Qiuli put on the old hats, and then set off with a basket that contained two small shovels.
"I'll hold the basket, you guys lead the way." Leng Yuye took the basket that had slipped from his hand.
"Thank you." Hua Xiali smiled and put his arm around Hua Qiuli's arm, and the two of them led the way in front.
