Chapter 209 Reaching the Peak
Hua Xiali decided to try it again, so she moved next to Huo Beixi and opened her mouth towards him. When he picked up a piece and fed it to her, she smelled that unbearable smell again.
It's not like she hasn't eaten chicken before, but she's never had such a strong feeling. Hua Xiali quickly covered her mouth and returned to her original position, shaking her head, "No, you eat it yourself!"
Maybe she was really pregnant, otherwise her sense of smell would not have become so sensitive. Meat does have a little smell, but it is not so strong, especially domestic meat. The smell is almost negligible, but today she smelled it particularly clearly.
After Huo Beixi finished the food in his bowl, Hua Xiali took him to visit his third uncle and fourth uncle's homes. Both families enthusiastically served them a large bowl of meat. Hua Xiali didn't eat it, but Huo Beixi and his family ate a bowl. They didn't need to eat lunch and could wait until the evening to have the New Year's Eve dinner.
When they arrived at Hua's mother's place, she served them another large bowl of meat. Huo Beixi whispered to her, "Mother-in-law, Xia Li might be pregnant and can't stand the smell of meat. Don't serve it to her."
After hearing this, Hua's mother nodded repeatedly. She didn't expect that Hua Xiali was also pregnant. Now the two children are about the same age, so she can take care of two children at once, which saves some trouble.
Hua Xiali saw Huo Beixi eating again and was very worried. "Huo Beixi, why are you eating again? Can you eat more?"
Huo Beixi shook his head and whispered, "I can do it, don't worry."
Today is New Year's Eve. I can't spoil the fun and make my mother-in-law unhappy.
And after eating the braised meat, you don’t have to eat lunch and can just wait for the New Year’s Eve dinner at night.
When Hua Xiali and his friends were about to go to Hua Chunli's house to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner, Gao Shuaiquan came over. Hua Xiali was very surprised, "Gao Shuaiquan, why did you come here today? Don't you have to accompany your family to eat the New Year's Eve dinner?"
"I have already had the New Year's Eve dinner at noon." Gao Shuaiquan grinned, revealing his neat white teeth.
Boys and men are really different!
"We are just about to go to my eldest sister's house to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner. Since you are here, put your things down and go over together!" Hua Qiuli said, and he took Hua Xiali's arm and walked towards Hua Chunli's house.
Gao Shuaiquan hurried to the room on the first floor where he usually slept to put down his things, then hurried out to catch up with Hua Qiuli. Hua's mother locked the gate of her own house and followed them.
Everyone came to Hua Chunli's house and began to prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner. Although they were not sure whether Hua Xiali was pregnant, Huo Beixi was sure that she was a pregnant woman now. He did not let her do anything and asked her and Hua Chunli to sit on the sofa and rest. Hua Xiali found it a little funny, but still obediently went to rest.
Huo Beixi, Zhang Yongfeng, Gao Shuaiquan, three grown men plus Hua's mother and Hua Qiuli, a total of five people, it is easy to prepare a New Year's Eve dinner, and Hua Xiali doesn't even need to help.
Seeing the peeled and crispy sugarcane suddenly handed to her, Hua Xiali looked up at Huo Beixi. She really couldn't believe that there was a man in the world who could do this.
At this moment, her love for him reached its peak. "You haven't eaten anything, eat some sugar cane." Huo Beixi handed the sugar cane to Hua Xiali.
"Aren't there so many snacks here?" Hua Xiali took the sugar cane and took a bite. It was very juicy and sweet, making her feel as sweet as if she had eaten honey. "I will take care of myself, so don't worry about it. Just focus on your work!"
After Huo Beixi went to the kitchen, Hua Chunli couldn't help but joked, "Huo Beixi has really fallen in love with you, right? I didn't expect you to be so amazing. In just a few months, you made Huo Beixi fall in love with you."
"What?" Hua Xiali's cheeks couldn't help but get hot. "We started to develop our relationship after we got engaged, and it's almost been seven months now. Isn't it normal for Huo Beixi to have feelings for me? We are not plants or trees, so who can be heartless? What's more, we have been husband and wife for several months."
Then Hua Xiali ate the sugarcane bite by bite with his hot face. The sugarcane was very crisp and made a crisp sound with every bite.
This year, every household in the village has saved some sugarcane for their own consumption and to entertain guests. The sugarcane tastes really good, better than other fruits. It is also a good experience to chew on a piece of sugarcane in your spare time.
Hua Xiali also left four bundles of sugarcane for her family, one bundle at her own home and the rest at her mother's. When she set out to pick up the goods, she asked a truck to take a few bundles of sugarcane to the hospital in the city center and gave two bundles to each of Leng Yuye's colleagues.
Leng Yuye had helped her family before, so she should give Leng Yuye some of the good things she had. The most important thing was that as medical workers, they really needed a good body so that they could help more patients and relieve the pain caused by the disease.
The sugarcane that Huo Beixi gave to Hua Xiali had three sections. It took Hua Xiali a long time to finish chewing the sugarcane. The juice of the sugarcane flowed on her hands, and her palms felt sticky and uncomfortable. Hua Xiali was about to get up to scoop some water to wash her hands, but Huo Beixi came over with a warm towel, and held her hand, wiping every one of her fingers clean.
Hua Chunli was sitting opposite, watching this scene, feeling a little amused. Huo Beixi was even more exaggerated than Zhang Yongfeng. Although Zhang Yongfeng was also very happy to know that she was pregnant, he was not like Huo Beixi, who wanted to do everything for Hua Xiali.
Hua Xiali rolled her eyes at Huo Beixi in embarrassment. Did he treat her like a child? She was just pregnant, not...
And now she is not sure whether she is pregnant or not!
If I go to the hospital for a check-up and find out that I’m not pregnant, wouldn’t that be a false alarm?
In the afternoon, the third uncle and the fourth uncle came over again and asked them if they wanted to go together to worship their grandparents. Last year, Zhang Yongfeng went just to show his appreciation, but they did not go.
Huo Beixi said, "I'll go!"
Although he didn't know why Hua Xiali and the others didn't go, he still had to go as the grandson-in-law, otherwise it would be easy for people to criticize him for being unfilial.
Although Hua Xiali and her family did not go to the memorial service, she still kept some items for the memorial service when she went to wholesale things at the end of the year. In other words, although they would not forgive their grandparents for what they had done, they still made preparations.
Huo Beixi picked up the offerings and went to the cemetery in Huazhuang with his third and fourth uncles. The main reason was that Huazhuang was a plain area without any hills, and people couldn't find places to use as cemeteries, so they found a piece of land to build a cemetery, and all the deceased elders were buried there.
This way, future generations will not be unable to find the graves of their ancestors.
