Chapter 229 She Likes It Just By Looking At It

That afternoon, after Hua Xiali came back from her fourth uncle's house, she fished out the big watermelon she had soaked in the big water tank. Hua's mother had a refrigerator, so the watermelon could be placed in the refrigerator, but she was already six months pregnant, and she didn't dare to eat something so cold, so the watermelon was placed in the well water to keep it cold.

Hua Xiali cut the big round watermelon in the middle. The crisp sound was very tempting. She put half of the watermelon in the refrigerator for Huo Beixi, and cut the rest into small pieces. She ate two pieces herself to satisfy her craving, and took the rest to the yard and handed them to her Third Aunt, asking her to share them with everyone.

As for Fourth Uncle's house, there was another house in between. Now the sun was too strong and she was too lazy to go over, so she didn't give it to Fourth Uncle's house.

Every household has its own private plot, and many families grow some watermelons for their families to eat. It’s just that her family has spiritual spring water, so the watermelons taste better!
When summer came and the weather got hot, Huo Beixi explicitly forbade Xia Chan to cook. Normally, he didn't object if Xia Chan cooked occasionally, but now that she was pregnant and the weather was so hot, he was afraid of the smoke and fire, which would be bad for her and the baby in her belly.

You can wait for him to come home from get off work to cook, and it’s okay to eat later, but you can’t tire her out.

However, the family had already bought an electric rice cooker, so Hua Xiali used the rice cooker to cook the rice, then washed, cut, and plated the vegetables he wanted to eat for later use, and the final cooking step was left to Huo Beixi.

She often goes to her fourth uncle's house, so any ingredients she takes out are not excessive.

In the evening, when the two of them were eating at the table, Huo Beixi suddenly said, "Yu Qingxin is getting married!"

"Really?" Hua Xiali raised his eyebrows in surprise, "When?"

"This Friday." Huo Beixi said, "Then we will go to the wedding together."

Hua Xiali nodded. "Yu Qingxin attended our wedding before. Now that he is getting married, we naturally want him to attend the wedding. A batch of goods just arrived in my warehouse these two days. We can pick out some suitable things from it as wedding gifts for Yu Qingxin and his family."

"By the way, did Yu Qingxin tell you who he is going to marry?" Hua Xiali asked curiously.

Huo Beixi had taken her to meet his friends before, and I don’t know whether Yu Qingxin brought his girlfriend to meet everyone.

Huo Beixi shook his head. "No, I don't know who it is. We'll know who it is when we get married."

The next day, Hua Xiali took a walk alone to her warehouse. She didn't know what gift to give Yu Qingxin and his wife, because she didn't know if Yu Qingxin had ever been to the wedding dress shops in the city. There were several wedding dress shops in the city now, so she didn't know what Yu Qingxin and his wife had bought, and she was afraid that the things she gave might have been bought by Yu Qingxin's family.

After much thought, Hua Xiali picked out a pair of red table lamps for Yu Qingxin and his wife, and placed them on the bedside tables on both sides. There were bead curtains hanging above the table lamps, which looked particularly delicate and beautiful, and could also add to the atmosphere at night.

On the day of Yu Qingxin's wedding, Huo Beixi rode a motorcycle with Hua Xiali and set off for Yu Qingxin's house with gifts. Yu Qingxin's wedding was held at home, so they just had to go directly to Yu Qingxin's house.

Hua Xiali was not familiar with Yu Qingxin. It was only when he came to Yu Qingxin's home this time that he found out that Yu Qingxin's home was in the county town, but it was only on the edge of the county town, where it bordered the neighboring county town.

When they arrived, Yu Qingxin had gone to pick up the bride and had not returned yet, so the two of them paid the betrothal money and gave gifts, and then were arranged by Yu Qingxin's family to drink tea and eat at the table. Huo Beixi pulled Hua Xiali over to sit down, and did not participate in the affairs of Yu Qingxin's family. After all, if Yu Qingxin really needed help, he would have asked for it long ago.

"Old Huo, you're here so early?" Yan Yisheng came over and saw Huo Beixi and Hua Xiali, then he walked over with a smile on his face. Seeing Hua Xiali's belly, he smiled and said, "Old Huo, congratulations!"

He hadn’t even chased Hua Xiali before, but now he’s become a father. This is quite fast.

"We want to eat early and go back early. It's too hot at noon." Huo Beixi said.

When the sound of firecrackers was heard outside, Hua Xiali knew that Yu Qingxin had returned to pick up his bride. She looked up at the gate of the courtyard and was really curious about Yu Qingxin's wife.

After all, when Huo Beixi took him to meet his friends before, he didn't hear about Yu Qingxin's blind date. But now they are married, which is quite fast.

But that’s how marriage works in this era. As long as the blind date shows that the couple is compatible, it starts their lifelong marriage. It’s not a big deal and divorce is almost non-existent.

There are also people like Hua Xiali and Huo Beixi who date before getting married, but they are not many, because in this era everyone pays attention to efficiency. They are mainly afraid that money will be spent and time will be wasted, but the important issue of their children's marriage will not be resolved.

Seeing Yu Qingxin carrying the bride into the courtyard, Hua Xiali and Huo Beixi were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other.

It turned out to be Zhang Jingxia!

I didn’t expect that today’s bride would be my second aunt’s cousin Zhang Jingxia.

Hua Xiali couldn't help but reveal a strange color on his face. Isn't this a lie? Zhang Jingxia has found many boyfriends over the years, and she has lived with many people. Before, she lived with a young man from another place, but was forcibly taken home by her second aunt and second uncle.

It is estimated that the second aunt and the second uncle kept these things secret and did not reveal a single detail to Yu Qingxin.

Watching Yu Qingxin carrying Zhang Jingxia into the house, Huo Beixi told the Yu family members nearby that they had some things to deal with and would not eat here, so he pulled Hua Xiali up and walked out.

The red envelopes and gifts are in place, and it doesn’t matter whether the meal is eaten or not. What matters is the thought behind it.

After a while, a man angrily rushed into Yu Qingxin's yard. He stood in the yard and shouted, "Zhang Jingxia, you bitch, get out of here quickly. You have lived with me for so long, and you have spent so much money on me. You should compensate me for my losses quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

"Your Yu family is ridiculous. Why marry Zhang Jingxia, a slut who can sleep with anyone? Do you know how many men she has been with? She lived with me for a while, and then she ran away and lived with another man. She almost eloped with him and went to another place, but was forcibly caught back by her parents. I didn't expect that your Yu family would become the scapegoat..."

Zhang Jingxia was sitting in the bridal chamber, and when she heard the shouting outside, she felt nervous and terrified. She originally didn't want to get married, but she hadn't expected that the man her family introduced to her had a decent job. In addition, he looked good and had a very strong body, just like Huo Beixi. She liked him at first sight, so she agreed to marry him.
