Chapter 216 I admire you so much
The water we drink in the mountains is mountain spring water, which is flowing. There is no way to add spiritual spring water because it will flow to other places if added. So Hua Xiali added spiritual spring water to the fertilizer.
While everyone was moving things, Hua Xiali went to visit Grandpa Fang first. When Grandpa Fang learned that she wanted to go for a walk in the fields, he personally led the way for her.
While leading the way, he also talked about the work he did when he was young, and Hua Xiali listened quietly, because she didn't know much about the past. Now that she heard what Uncle Fang said, she would be able to write better and more in line with the actual situation.
Her story cannot only include the love story of Grandpa Fang and Grandma Mo, as that would make the story seem too narrow. It should also include the historical story of the mountain village, its development process, and the real reason why everyone moved later... and other stories. This will make the story fuller and more touching.
Looking at the neatly reclaimed pieces of wasteland, Hua Xiali was a little surprised. He didn't expect that so many had been reclaimed. It seemed that there was hope of making a profit this year!
If we can make back our investment this year, we will be able to make a profit starting next year. It would be great if we can make extra money every year!
After walking around the fields, Hua Xiali went to check the renovation progress of "Chun Xia Restaurant" and "Chun Xia Hotel". The restaurant was renovated first and had been put into use a long time ago. Jia Chenyang's wife managed the restaurant well.
The villagers from Xinzhuang who came here to open up the land are willing to spend a few cents to have lunch here, so the restaurant's business is quite stable.
The hotel has not been renovated yet. After all, there are several courtyards in a row, and they have to renovate them one by one. After they have finished renovating the entire hotel, Hua Xiali will pull the furniture over.
She wanted to turn these hotels into beautiful B&Bs like the ones in her previous life, so that when B&Bs became popular in the future, she wouldn't have to go through the trouble of rebuilding them.
After all, this place was built according to the B&B in her previous life.
After a walk, Hua Xiali went to Grandpa Fang's house and asked curiously, "Grandpa Fang, what kind of fruits are suitable for growing on your mountain? I plan to go to the fruit seedling base in the spring to get more fruit seedlings and plant fruit trees on both sides of the mountain road. In this way, when spring comes, the flowers will bloom, like a giant dragon hovering on the mountain. It will be beautiful from afar. With such a beautiful scenery, more people will know about this mountain village, the 'Mo Jingchun' village."
"I remember there seemed to be wild cherries, peaches, pears, and sunflowers." Grandpa Fang looked into the distance, his cloudy eyes full of memories.
Hua Xiali knew that he must be thinking about the past with his wife again. Maybe the past was so beautiful that he remembered it for most of his life. Even though he is old now and his memory is not so clear, he still remembers her. Such deep affection is really touching.
On the other side, all the things were moved to the courtyard of the mountain village and put away. Hua Xiali went back with the truck driver. It was not yet time to plant sugarcane, so the sugarcane seeds had to be kept there. She had also sent two people who knew how to plant sugarcane. When the time came, they would be the only ones to teach everyone.
Hua Xiali asked Jia Chenyang to help her call a well-drilling team to come and study and see if they could find a suitable place to dig a well, so that it would be convenient for everyone to get water in the future.
After all, drinking mountain spring water requires going out to fetch it, which is too time-consuming. If you can dig a well, then dig a well. If you really can't dig a well, then there is no other way but to wait until tap water is available and then provide tap water to the mountain village.
When Hua Xiali returned to Huazhuang in the evening, he passed by the brigade headquarters and saw Huo Beixi squatting by the wall of the brigade headquarters. Hua Xiali walked over curiously and asked, "Huo Beixi, what are you doing here?"
"I saw that the shepherd's purse was quite fresh and tender, so I wanted to dig some and take it home to make dumplings and buns for you to change your appetite." Huo Beixi said, and put the shepherd's purse in his hand into the basket. It is shady here, and it can only get sunlight for a while when the sun rises in the morning. It can't get sunlight at other times, so the shepherd's purse here grows tall and tender. Although it is as long as a chopstick, it looks green and tender.
"You..." Hua Xiali was a little surprised. She really didn't expect that a grown man like him would come here to dig wild vegetables, and he wasn't afraid of being laughed at by others. "You dug such a basket. Should it be enough to eat?"
"Dig for two more days, and then concentrate on wrapping more when you have a break on the weekend. Don't you have a refrigerator at home? Put the wrapped ones directly in the refrigerator, so you can eat them for a longer time." Huo Beixi dug out a few shepherd's purse in front of him, shook off the dirt on them, put them in the basket, then stood up and took Hua Xiali back.
"How are you today? Are you busy?" Huo Beixi asked.
Hua Xiali said with a smile, "When have you ever seen me do anything myself? Everything is done by others, how busy can I be? I just walked around and looked around, I really didn't do anything."
Most of the time, when she went out to pick up goods or vegetables from the greenhouse vegetable base, Hua Xiali let the truck drivers go by themselves. She would not go with them unless she needed something. Otherwise, most of the time, they went. She had already delegated as many things as possible to others and rarely did anything herself.
After all, there are only more than three months left before the college entrance examination. She must focus on the college entrance examination now, and other things are secondary. As long as she can pay her employees' salaries and still make some money, that's enough.
You can't work so hard only to have it go in vain!
By the time Huo Beixi took a day off, it was already the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, and Hua Qiuli's school was about to start. She had already packed her things. She had brought back the quilt during the winter vacation, washed the sheets and quilt covers, and dried the quilt core several times in the hot sun.
This quilt must be super warm now.
Hua Qiuli packed up his things and put them on the sofa. This way, he could just pick up his things and leave when he left. It was very convenient.
Coming to the kitchen, seeing Huo Beixi rolling up his sleeves and kneading dough seriously, Hua Qiuli couldn't help but sigh, "Second brother-in-law, I really admire you so much."
Huo Beixi was a little surprised, "What's wrong?"
"There are very few men who can do what you do. As far as I can remember, I have never seen my father cook a meal." Her eldest sister and second sister were both lucky. Although they did not have the so-called passionate love of others, both of them met good men.
"Well, don't look for a man like your father in the future. If you can't find one, you don't have to look for one. There is no need to just find a man to settle for. This is irresponsible towards your own life. People should still take their own happiness as the main goal and not care about the affairs of others other than themselves." Huo Beixi warned.
Hua Xiali cares a lot about her family, so Huo Beixi gave her some advice, otherwise he didn't want to say anything.
