Chapter 30 Are you free on Sunday?

Zhang Yongfeng asked curiously, "Mom, where is Xia Li going to send the braised food?"

Mother Hua shook her head helplessly, "She has her own ideas. We should not care about her. She is already nineteen years old, not a child anymore. She can handle her own affairs."

Hua Xiali came to the door of Huo Beixi's house, stretched out his hand and knocked gently. Soon the gate was opened and Huo Beixi was standing inside the door. He must have just taken a shower, and there was still a faint moisture on his body. It was obvious that his black hair had just been washed and was not yet dry. He was wearing a white men's vest, and the muscles on his shoulders and chest were particularly tight.

On the wheat-colored neck, the Adam's apple is sharp and sexy, and it looks very...

Hua Xiali quickly retracted her gaze, not allowing herself to look any further, because she was afraid that she, who had been suppressed for a lifetime, would involuntarily pounce on her food like a hungry wolf.

"Huo Beixi, I braised some pig offal and brought you a bowl. Even though it's cheap, it tastes really good when cooked!" Hua Xiali handed the basket in his hand to Huo Beixi.

Huo Beixi looked down at Hua Xiali, and saw a slight blush on her face, and the "surprise" and even a certain "greed" in her eyes because of him, which made him feel a little happy, and his eyes also revealed a hint of tenderness.

He said in a low voice, "Okay, then I'll try it. Thank you for your kindness."

Then he took the basket from Hua Xiali's hand and turned to walk inside. Hua Xiali was afraid that if he stood outside the door, he would be seen by others, so he followed him into the yard and waited at the door of the house.

Huo Beixi suddenly turned around and looked at Hua Xiali gently, "Would you like to come in and sit down?"

Hua Xiali immediately waved his hand and smiled embarrassedly, "No, I still have to go home for dinner!"

Huo Beixi took out the braised food from the basket and poured it into his own bowl. He washed the large bowl of braised food and put it back into the basket. Then he handed the basket to Hua Xiali and said, "It's too much. Just give me a small bowl."

"Don't talk too early, or you'll get embarrass yourself later." Hua Xiali took the basket with a smile, turned around and left.

The braised food she made was so delicious. She felt that Huo Beixi, who was so big, should be able to eat the whole pot. But he actually thought a bowl was too much. Once he really tasted it, he would know that it was not too much at all, and might even not be enough!
"Xia Li."

When Hua Xiali was about to walk out of the courtyard gate, she suddenly heard Huo Beixi calling her, so she stopped and looked back at Huo Beixi suspiciously.

Under the moonlight, Huo Beixi gazed deeply at Hua Xiali, "Xia Li, are you free on Sunday?"

Hua Xiali shook his head apologetically, "I'm busy, sorry!"

Sunday was a great time to do business, so how could she waste it?
She owed Huo Beixi 1,500 yuan, relatives 6,000 yuan, and she also had to prepare several thousand yuan in tuition for her eldest sister. This had to be prepared by mid-August, so there wasn't much time left.

So before mid-August, until the tuition fees were ready, she couldn't be careless every day.

"It's okay." Huo Beixi said with a faint smile. Hua Xiali nodded and walked out. When he returned home, he sat with Hua's mother and Zhang Yongfeng to have dinner. Hua Xiali asked with a smile, "Mom, brother-in-law, what do you think of the stewed food I made?"

Zhang Yongfeng excitedly gave a thumbs up, "It's really delicious. I've never eaten such delicious braised food in my life."

Hua Xiali looked at Hua's mother again, and she nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I have never tasted such delicious braised food."

"Really?" Hua Xiali raised his eyebrows in surprise and clapped his hands excitedly, "Then I'll earn some money first, and then I'll set up a stall next to the high school to sell braised food, so that I can see my elder sister every day."

"I think it's okay." Zhang Yongfeng nodded in agreement. By setting up a stall near the school, he could see his wife every day. He was not used to it since she went back to school, but fortunately they would not be separated for too long, just over a month. As long as they got through this final sprint, Hua Chunli would be back.

"That's fine." Hua's mother nodded thoughtfully. The braised food here is indeed delicious. She should be able to make some money by setting up a stall outside.

"Mom, if I really start a braised food business, you have to help me clean the braised food in the future! Otherwise, I have to buy raw materials, make it, and set up a stall. I won't have time to clean it!" Hua Xiali said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll call all your aunts over and ask them to help with the cleaning, okay?" Hua's mother thought about it and nodded in agreement.

If the family earns more, they can pay off the debt sooner, and then build Chunli and Zhang Yongfeng’s wedding house sooner. The two have been married for a year, but the homestead is still empty!
"Of course, I won't treat them unfairly, but they have to help me keep the secret and not let the whole village know what we are doing." If the aunt is willing to do it, she will just pay them a salary. She will definitely not let them work for free. She will pay them according to the market price, so that they will not have any complaints.

Moreover, they are all rural women who are old and have no way to make money except farming at home. Hua Xiali has given them the opportunity to make money, and they will definitely not refuse.

After dinner, Hua Xiali left the task of cleaning up the dishes to Hua's mother, while Hua Xiali and Zhang Yongfeng went to the blacksmith's house to make the equipment customized by Hua Xiali.

Zhang Yongfeng pushed the wooden cart and Hua Xiali walked beside him with a flashlight. The pitch-black night around them was like a huge monster, enveloping the two of them.

Hua Xiali has done a lot of things by herself, such as looking after an orchard by herself, watching over a crayfish breeding base by herself, and going to a cemetery by herself. She has done all the things that others are afraid of, so now there is really nothing to be afraid of. Perhaps the only thing she is afraid of is the health of her parents and family!
"Xia Li, come sit on it, I'll push you." Zhang Yongfeng patted the armrest of the wooden cart and said.

"No need, it's only a few minutes' walk, I can walk." Hua Xiali smiled awkwardly. Although she knew what kind of person her brother-in-law was, she and her brother-in-law and sister-in-law had to avoid suspicion, otherwise the villagers' saliva would drown them.

Do you really think that all people are simple and honest? There are all kinds of people in this world, and some people just hope that you are not good enough and are not as good as them. Don't think that everyone is so good.

Hua Xiali thought of helping Zhang Yongfeng make money for a while, and then handing the stall over to Zhang Yongfeng, while he went to do other things to make money.

Although this was no longer the golden age of the 1980s, there were still many opportunities in the 1990s. She had experienced it once, so naturally she knew more than others, and she could try them one by one.
