Chapter 224 Share the burden with me

"If Jia Yujie asks, how should I explain it?" Zhang Yongfeng asked.

"Let's say we changed the salary payment system. For married people, half of the salary will be given to their spouse, and for unmarried people, half of the salary will be given to their parents. By then, my cousin might be anxious to propose to me, and then be rejected harshly." Hua Xiali said.

As long as she marries Jia Yujie, she will get half of Jia Yujie's salary in the future. I don't know what the girl will think.

Just wanting to spend other people's money but not willing to make any contribution, how can there be such a good thing in this world?
Zhang Yongfeng nodded, "Okay, I understand."

After having dinner with her family at the braised food restaurant, Hua Xiali took a bus back to Huazhuang. Huo Beixi was still waiting to see the results, and she also wanted to hurry up and collect more morels and bamboo shoots, otherwise if she missed them she would have to wait until next year.

Besides, at this time next year, she will be studying, so she won't be able to go to her fourth uncle's house every day like she does now. She can only go there once in a while on the weekends.

When Hua Xiali returned home in the afternoon, Huo Beixi was still working. He did not disturb him but cooked the rice, washed, cut and put the vegetables on a plate for later use, then went to the upstairs room to read.

She came back from the city center without bringing any vegetables, only some prawns. The prawns were very big, each one was almost as long as a human hand, more than ten centimeters.

The shrimps were even bigger than the ones she had packed up at a big restaurant in the city center. This time she bought all the shrimps sold at the stall, leaving only twenty outside. For her and Huo Beixi, twenty shrimps were more than enough for a meal.

Because the vegetables sold in the vegetable market are not as delicious as the ones they grow themselves, but if they don’t have them at home, they can buy them from the vegetable market, such as meat and seafood.

Although we raise pigs at home, we won’t slaughter them until the end of the year. After we finish eating the meat that we secretly saved, we still have to go to the vegetable market to buy more.

Huo Beixi came back in the evening and saw some signs at home. He knew Hua Xiali had returned, so he went straight upstairs and saw her sleeping on the bed with a textbook in her hand. He took the textbook from her and put it on the bedside table, then put her hand under the quilt.

Hua Xiali woke up slowly and was a little surprised to see Huo Beixi sitting beside the bed, "You're back?"

"Yeah." Huo Beixi reached out to help her tidy up the messy hair on her forehead and smiled gently, "How is it?"

"Everything is fine." Hua Xiali said with a smile, "I told you it's okay, don't be so nervous."

"You still have to be careful, or I'll be worried." Seeing Hua Xiali was about to get up, Huo Beixi helped her up, "I saw the shrimp you brought back, what should we do with it?"

"I'll teach you." Hua Xiali got up, put on his shoes, and went downstairs with Huo Beixi. When they came to the kitchen, Hua Xiali grabbed a large shrimp, picked up a pair of scissors, and cut a slit directly from the back of the shrimp to the shrimp tail, and then took out the shrimp thread inside. "Just do it like this. After processing, wash it clean, and steam or boil it directly. If you want to eat something more flavorful, braise it. Shrimp are easy to cook and can be eaten in a few minutes."

"Okay." Huo Beixi took the scissors and started processing.

Twenty shrimps were quickly processed.

After that, Huo Beixi went to cook. When Hua Xiali came back, everything was ready. He just cooked. Hua Xiali sat behind the stove and put a piece of bamboo in it from time to time. Hua Xiali asked her fourth uncle and Lu Xiaozhi to help her cut a lot of bamboo. Now the family uses these bamboos for burning fire, and the straw is only used to start the fire. As long as the fire is started, other firewood can be added, but the fire needs to be controlled.

After dinner was ready, the two sat at the table to eat. When Hua Xiali was about to reach out to grab the prawns, Huo Beixi brought the prawns over and started peeling them one by one. As he peeled them, he said, "Just wait and eat them. Don't get your hands dirty."

Hua Xiali smiled and said, "This is steamed without any oil or salt. How can it dirty my hands?"

Huo Beixi peeled all the shrimps and then put the plate in front of Hua Xiali. Hua Xiali picked up a shrimp, dipped it in the sauce, and put it in his mouth.

The prawns are delicious, the meat is chewy and has a sweet taste.

"You eat too!" Hua Xiali picked up two shrimps for Huo Beixi and said, "We each have ten shrimps. No matter what, you can't eat too much at once. If you really care about me, don't think of leaving it all for me, but share it with me."

"Okay." Huo Beixi nodded with a smile.

After dinner, Hua Xiali took the shrimp shells to the backyard and poured them into the dog's food bowl. Now she and Huo Beixi live in Hua's mother's house, taking care of the fruits, vegetables, poultry and livestock in the yard, but Hua Xiali also returns to her house every day to feed her two dogs.

Now the two wolfhounds at Hua Mu's place and the two pastoral dogs at her place have grown very big and are good at guarding the house. With them around, no evil spirits can get close to them.

At night, Huo Beixi sat at the head of the bed, studying Hua Xiali's monthly medical report. Hua Xiali lay in his arms, looking up at him curiously, "Do you understand?"

"Aren't you underestimating me? Do you think there is anything in this world that I can't understand?" Huo Beixi lowered his eyes to look at Hua Xiali and raised his eyebrows in amusement.

Hua Xiali was stunned for a moment, then he understood and smiled embarrassedly. Huo Beixi was not an ordinary person. He was an outstanding university graduate and served as a conscript for two years after graduation. He also went to the mountainous area for two years of training. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to have only two years of work experience at this age.

She has lived two lives, but her life experience may not be as rich as Huo Beixi's!
Because she had been at the top of society in her previous life, doing the dirtiest and most tiring work, and had never been anywhere in her life. Even though she received demolition compensation later, she still saved the money and did not enjoy life like others by eating, drinking and having fun, because she did not know how to do so, and she had not experienced those things.

Except for the fact that she has more money than Huo Beixi, she is really inferior to Huo Beixi in every other aspect.

Huo Beixi put the examination report on the bedside table, lowered his eyes and saw that Hua Xiali had fallen asleep, so he turned off the lights, hugged her and lay down.

There was one day off for May Day. Hua Chunli was already in the late stage of pregnancy and her belly was very big, so it was inconvenient for her to take a car. Besides, there were many people on the May Day holiday and business was good. Zhang Yongfeng's braised food shop had to continue to open, so they did not go back to Huazhuang.

Because the braised food shop changed its way of paying wages, the girl once again rejected Jia Yujie harshly when Jia Yujie formally confessed his love to her.
