Chapter 217 The right place
Others only see his efforts but fail to see how much he enjoys it. Isn’t this a kind of happiness?
Hua Qiuli nodded, "I know."
With her elder brother-in-law and second brother-in-law as examples, how could she just casually find a man? In the future, she would definitely use her elder brother-in-law and second brother-in-law as the standard. She would not consider men like them. Anyone worse than them would not be considered. Otherwise, if she found such a man, it would affect everyone's harmony, which would be a big waste!
Also, she already has so much savings that she can live well on her own without getting married. Just like her second brother-in-law said, there is really no need to just find a man to settle for.
Huo Beixi kneaded and rolled the dough, and then the four of them made buns and dumplings together. The dumpling filling was not pure shepherd's purse, but also soy sauce and dried seeds, which smelled very fragrant.
The four of them worked together and finished the meal quickly. They left some for their family to eat today and put the rest in the freezer to be taken out when they wanted to eat it.
If Huo Beixi is alone at home and is too busy to cook, he can just steam buns or cook dumplings.
After the shepherd's purse dumplings were cooked, Huo Beixi asked everyone to come over to eat the dumplings, and also prepared a dipping sauce for Hua Xiali. He mixed soy sauce, vinegar, and one-third spoonful of chopped pepper evenly to make a slightly spicy and fragrant dipping sauce.
Hua Xiali picked up a plump white dumpling, rolled it in the dipping sauce, then took a bite and squinted his eyes in satisfaction. The dumplings stuffed with shepherd's purse were really delicious, and there was a hint of sweetness in the shepherd's purse. He didn't expect shepherd's purse to be so delicious. No wonder shepherd's purse was expensive like five yuan a pound in the vegetable market in his previous life, which was higher than the price of many vegetables.
Gao Shuai saw how Huo Beixi took care of Hua Xiali, and kept it in mind. He wanted to take good care of his other half in the same way in the future.
When Gao Shuaiquan thought of this, he tilted his head to glance at Hua Qiuli, wondering if he had this opportunity.
Hua Qiuli was confused by Gao Shuaiquan's look and glared at him fiercely.
After lunch, Hua Qiuli and Gao Shuaiquan set off with their bags, leaving Hua Xiali and Huo Beixi alone at home. However, Huo Beixi has resumed his normal work, and Hua Xiali also has to go out occasionally, so the two of them cannot be at home every day.
Huo Beixi cleaned up the kitchen, and then the two of them sat on the sofa. Huo Beixi brought Hua Xiali over and let her sit on his lap to read.
The gate to the courtyard is closed, and there is no need to worry about others seeing it when they walk by, because no one can see it. After all, no one's eyes can penetrate the door panels!
"Huo Beixi, we're about to start raising seedlings for our several acres of land. I'll be sorry to trouble you then." Hua Xiali suddenly thought of this, so he looked up at Huo Beixi and reminded him.
"Don't worry, your family's fields are mine, right? I will take care of it. You just need to concentrate on taking care of your baby and studying." Huo Beixi pinched Hua Xiali's nose.
Food is the most important thing for people, and grain is the main source of food. No matter how rich a family is, they cannot let so many paddy fields go to waste.
The next day, Hua Xiali went to the seed shop in the town to buy seeds. She bought common and delicious fruits and vegetables. She didn't want to waste the money if they didn't taste very good.
The seed shop doesn't only sell seeds, it also sells seedlings, so people who don't know how to grow seedlings can just buy seedlings, which is much easier. However, seedlings are more expensive than seeds. Hua Xiali's two plots of land are so large that it's very expensive to buy seedlings, so it's better to buy seeds. And she has spiritual spring water, so she's not worried about the low germination rate of the seeds. As long as the seeds are not maliciously destroyed by the boss, there will be no problem.
Hua Xiali plans to let employees save their own seeds this year, because the fruits and vegetables of this era are tastier. If they don't save seeds, they will never be able to buy this variety again in the future, because the seeds from the previous life were all new varieties, and the taste and texture are not as good as the current varieties.
Take tomatoes for example. Nowadays, tomatoes can be eaten directly as fruit. They are very sweet, pink and crunchy, and there is no need to add rock sugar.
This variety was not available for purchase in the past, unless some farmers kept such seeds for themselves.
Hua Xiali planned to turn the "Mo Jingchun Village" in Baibao County into a tourist attraction, so she needed to turn it into a place with beautiful scenery. So Hua Xiali went to the nursery base and bought a lot of fruit trees, so that they could both bloom and bear fruit, killing two birds with one stone.
Hua Xiali bought fifty peach trees, apricot trees, pear trees, cherry trees, and apple trees. Although the apples here would not be as big or as good as those in the north, Hua Xiali did not care whether or not they could bear fruit, as long as they could bloom. Moreover, she had spiritual spring water, so the apples should be able to bear big fruits.
One hundred and fifty each of the red plum trees, wintersweet trees, purple magnolias, white magnolias, and grape seedlings were needed, because the red plum and wintersweet both bloom in winter. With these two kinds of trees, the mountain tops would no longer be desolate and peaceful in winter.
Purple magnolia and white magnolia bloom in early spring, before peach blossoms, and in the severe cold of early spring. In this way, there will be flowers blooming on the mountain all year round, and there will be eye-catching beauty all year round.
Hua Xiali bought too many saplings today, so she asked the boss if he could deliver the goods. The boss said yes, so Hua Xiali asked the boss to help her deliver the saplings right away, and she would go with him so he could lead the way.
When the car arrived at the intersection, Hua Xiali stopped the car here, because these trees were to be planted along the road leading into the mountains. Only when there were flowers blooming at the intersection could it attract passers-by to go in and take a look, and then they would discover the fairyland-like paradise inside.
When Jia Chenyang and everyone else came over, Hua Xiali asked them to move all the saplings down. Hua Xiali asked them to plant the fruit saplings in order on the right side, with one meter between each tree.
The ornamental saplings of red plum, wintersweet and magnolia are planted on the left side, also one meter apart. The trees on both sides are aligned exactly. When they bloom in two years, their winding paths will be like the road leading into the mountain, like a flower dragon.
Fortunately, the saplings were all small seedlings, only about one meter tall, so there was no need to dig particularly large holes, so it was not a big deal. Everyone dug holes and planted trees, while Hua Xiali was responsible for watering them.
Jia Chenyang carried over two buckets of mountain spring water. Hua Xiali washed his hands in it and took the opportunity to add some spiritual spring water into it. This way, even if the survival rate of the saplings was not 100%, it would not be low.
"Cousin Chenyang, have you found a suitable place to dig a well?" Hua Xiali asked with concern.
Jia Chenyang nodded and said, "I found it, but it's a little far from everyone's house."
