Chapter 175 Harvesting Rice
She is not someone like Wang Liang, who can juggle between two or more women.
Who knows how many people Wang Liang had found during the more than ten years he was out there in his previous life, and who knows how many people he had found during the decades he spent out there with Tao Liyang later?
If you ask a restless man like him to stay with a woman, can he do it?
Moreover, in his previous life, after Wang Liang got cancer, Tao Liyang did not treat him but sent him back to find his two sons. If Wang Liang was really loyal to Tao Liyang, Tao Liyang should not have ignored him, right?
Leng Yuye's pupils trembled slightly, then he lowered his head and sat there blankly, not even reaching out to take the box that Hua Xiali handed over. Hua Xiali put the box on the coffee table and pulled Huo Beixi upstairs.
Next, let Leng Yuye digest it on his own. Just because he likes Hua Xiali doesn't mean Hua Xiali must like him. After all, feelings should be mutual. One-sided feelings will not lead to a good life.
Arriving at the room, Huo Beixi sat at the end of the bed, picked up Hua Xiali and placed her on his lap, pinched her chin and began to kiss her. Hua Xiali was a little embarrassed and struggled, making a 'woohoo' sound. Huo Beixi moved to her cheek and whispered in her ear, "Do you want Leng Yuye to hear this so that you can give up completely?"
Hua Xiali suddenly didn't dare to make any sound anymore. How embarrassing it would be if others heard it!
Although it was a newly built house, the sound insulation was not very good. One night she heard strange noises coming from her eldest sister and brother-in-law's room.
After a while, Huo Beixi put his arms around Hua Xiali's waist and looked at her deeply, "If we weren't engaged, would I have no chance to be with you?"
"What are you thinking about?" Hua Xiali poked his shoulder. "Even if we're not engaged, haven't we always been together?"
He is a college graduate and he looks good. It can be said that apart from being a little cold, there is nothing wrong with him. Why is he so unconfident?
He's just ten years older than her, what's the big deal?
If we talk about age, is she an old lady in her past and present lives? Is she dying of inferiority complex? What's the big deal? As long as she doesn't deliberately think about her past life, she is just an ordinary 20-year-old girl.
After a while, the two went downstairs and saw Leng Yuye still sitting on the sofa. Hua Xiali was a little surprised. She thought Leng Yuye should have gone back, but she didn't expect that he was still there.
It seems that his mental strength is many times stronger than she thought.
If someone else's confession fails, they will either be angry or sad, but they will definitely leave instead of sitting here. Maybe it's because Leng Yuye has encountered a lot of things in his work and his character has been tempered!
When it was almost time for dinner, Uncle San came over to ask Hua's mother what she was going to do with the rice this year as the rice was about to be harvested. Hua's mother glanced at Hua Xiali and said, "Just do it the same as before. Either you finish your work at home first and then come to work for our family, or you can hire someone to help us!"
"No need." Huo Beixi said in a deep voice, "Zhang Yongfeng and I will do it this year."
Gao Shuaiquan quickly raised his hand and said, "Count me in."
He came to Hua Xiali's house every now and then to eat and drink. The delicious food made him gain several pounds. Now he is making money from them, so he should do something to repay them.
"And me." Leng Yuye said. After eating and drinking at the Hua family for such a long time, he really should do something.
"Okay, you four grown men should be able to finish it quickly." Uncle Hua nodded and turned away. The next morning, Zhang Yongfeng went to the wholesale market to buy pig offal, while Huo Beixi, Leng Yuye and Gao Shuaiquan took sickles and went directly to the rice fields to start harvesting rice. Huo Beixi and Gao Shuai had all done farm work before, so they started working as soon as they got their sickles. Leng Yuye watched for a while, then slowly started working.
Hua Chunli and Hua Qiuli continued to process the snails, because they now made money from this, while Hua's mother was in charge of the braised food.
Then it was naturally Hua Xiali's turn to cook. The family had already started using the refrigerator, so Hua Xiali washed the cucumbers, tomatoes and watermelons and put them in the refrigerator's fresh-keeping layer so that they could eat the cool and refreshing fruits in a while.
After that, Hua Xiali began to prepare lunch. There are plenty of vegetables in this season, and she can make a sumptuous meal by simply cooking them. Now that she has an electric rice cooker at home, she can cook rice directly in the rice cooker, which saves a lot of trouble.
Hua Xiali was cutting vegetables and putting them on plates at the table by the kitchen window. Lastly, she began to cut the pork. The pork was oily and very slippery. With every cut from the knife, Hua Xiali screamed in pain.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" When everyone heard Hua Xiali's voice, they all ran over, especially Huo Beixi, who threw away his sickle and came out of the rice field.
Seeing Hua Xiali's bloody hands, Huo Beixi felt so heartbroken that he almost suffocated. He quickly scooped a bucket of clean water to help her rinse her hands. After rinsing, he saw that the skin on her thumb, index finger and middle finger was broken, but fortunately the bones were not injured, so it was not very serious.
There was magical spring water in the well. After flushing it several times, the bleeding slowly stopped.
"Do you have any Band-Aids at home?" Huo Beixi asked.
"Yes, I'll get it." Hua Qiuli hurried to the room and came down soon.
Huo Beixi took the Band-Aid, tore it off, and put it on Hua Xiali's finger.
"Second sister, you take a rest, we will make lunch." Hua Qiuli said.
"Okay, I have prepared all the vegetables. The only thing left to cut is the meat. You guys wash it and then cut it." Hua Xiali was a little embarrassed. He had prepared so many vegetables, so why did he cut his hand when cutting the meat?
Seeing that Hua Xiali was fine, Huo Beixi went back to cut rice. Leng Yuye really wanted to ask how Hua Xiali was doing, but he was not in the right position to ask.
You could say he is a doctor, but he didn't bring any first aid supplies when he came to Hua's house. Even if he really went to see the doctor, he wouldn't be able to help much.
But looking at how nervous Huo Beixi is about Hua Xiali, it doesn't seem like what everyone says. If it was really just because Hua Xiali saved him, then the two of them didn't spend much time together, so they shouldn't be so nervous. Could it be that Huo Beixi has been secretly in love with Hua Xiali for a long time, and just took advantage of this incident to bring their affairs to the surface?
At around eleven o'clock, when the sun was scorching, Hua Xiali called them back, took out the watermelon from the refrigerator, cut it, and brought it out to everyone.
Huo Beixi pulled Hua Xiali to sit next to him, smiled and said softly, "Your hand is injured, so don't do these things. Anyone of us can do these things."
