Chapter 303: It feels really good to be relied on
"Huo Beixi, when you have a weekend off, let's go to Baibao County together!" Hua Xiali remembered that Grandpa Fang died before she gave birth. In her previous life, she seemed to have given birth in October of 92, so Grandpa Fang should have died in September, right? In other words, Grandpa Fang's life span was less than a year, and she had to go to help Grandpa Fang make up for his regrets.
And now that she is rich, it is not a problem for her to buy the entire Stone Village.
By this calculation, she has a lot to do next.
"Is one day enough?" Huo Beixi asked.
When he was busy with the wood ear cultivation greenhouse, he did not rest for a long time and saved up his holidays. If one day was not enough, he would have to rest for another day and let others take over.
Hua Xiali nodded repeatedly, "That's enough, didn't we go there last time? It's not very far away, just next to the county town! And this time we're riding motorcycles, so it's naturally faster than before."
After dinner, Hua Xiali made himself a cup of hot green tea and drank it while admiring Huo Beixi washing pots and dishes. It seemed inappropriate for a man of god-like status to stand in front of a rural earthen stove and wash pots and dishes, but he had to do it.
After all, she didn't want to take on all the household chores. The family belonged to two people, and it would be so hard for one person to do all the work! So she cooked, and wasn't it her responsibility for Huo Beixi to wash the pots and dishes?
Before you feel sorry for a man, you should also feel sorry for yourself!
After all, she wasn't playing!
After Huo Beixi finished cleaning up, the two of them went back to the room for a nap. They had become accustomed to taking a nap. Even though it was not summer, they were still used to taking a nap. If they didn't take a break at noon, they would feel like they had no energy in the afternoon.
In order to make it easier for Hua Xiali to get the review materials on the bedside table, Hua Xiali let Huo Beixi sleep in the middle of the bed. Huo Beixi put his arms around Hua Xiali's waist and leaned on her.
Hua Xiali started to feel sleepy after reading for a while. She looked down at Huo Beixi who was leaning on her. Seeing his closed eyes and slightly trembling long eyelashes, her heart felt soft. The feeling of being relied on was really good. Huo Beixi must also hope that she could rely on him like this!
Hua Xiali put down the book in his hand, then lay down, kissed Huo Beixi on the forehead, and said to himself, "Huo Beixi, I hope we can live a hundred years this time. Even if we can't live a hundred years, we can be buried together after death. I won't let you face the endless darkness alone..."
After Huo Beixi's death, he was buried hastily in the cemetery in Huazhuang. That was because he had no family. But now it is different. He has a wife, a mother-in-law, and his wife's elder sister and younger sister. With so many people, someone will definitely bury them together.
When Huo Beixi was resting, Hua Xiali went to the front early to feed the poultry. He also packed two brand new quilts, a bed sheet, a washbasin, towel, toothbrush, toothpaste and other daily necessities for Uncle Fang.
These were all left over from when she went to wholesale student accommodation supplies. No matter what she did, she always had to prepare something for her family. Aren’t they coming in handy now?
In addition, Hua Xiali also packed up some seasonings and added a little spiritual spring water into the seasonings. Although the spiritual spring water could not change Mr. Fang's fate or prevent his death, it could at least relieve his physical headache.
Mr. Fang's leg problem was probably caused by an injury his wife suffered while hunting when she was pregnant. If that incident hadn't happened, his wife wouldn't have had a miscarriage, leading to a difficult delivery.
After Hua Xiali had packed up, Huo Beixi tied all the things on the motorcycle.
In fact, the motorcycle was quite high, and one needed to lift one's legs high to step onto it, so Huo Beixi didn't let her make things difficult. He directly carried Hua Xiali onto the motorcycle, and then rode away.
Hua Xiali hugged Huo Beixi's waist tightly, with her cheek on his back. She always felt like she was in her previous life, because in her previous life, after they bought a motorcycle, they rode the motorcycle to Baibao County again and again. So Hua Xiali was a little dazed now, and she didn't know whether she was in the third life or the second life.
In her previous life, she would become pregnant at the beginning of the new year, and Uncle Fang would die before she gave birth. She and Huo Beixi would bury Uncle Fang and Grandma Mo together. Then she would give birth to the child in October, and by the time she came out of confinement, it was already November. It was in November that Hua Qingmei sent her back to the second life with a single knife.
I don’t know how things will develop this time.
She really hoped to live with Huo Beixi forever, or for a few more years. She didn't want to just live with them for a few short years and then separate for various other reasons.
With a motorcycle, they could go very fast and soon arrived at the mountains of Baibao County. When they reached a place where the motorcycle could not go forward, Huo Beixi parked the motorcycle and then he and Hua Xiali walked inside carrying their things.
When they arrived at Uncle Fang's house, Uncle Fang was eating from a bowl. Hua Xiali took a look into the bowl and unexpectedly found that it was rice noodles.
Hua Xiali asked curiously, "Uncle Fang, are you having breakfast or lunch?"
It's too early to have lunch at this time, and too late to have breakfast.
Grandpa Fang smiled kindly, "I wasn't hungry this morning, so I didn't eat anything. I only cooked some noodles now because I'm hungry."
"Uncle Fang, we brought you some food and daily necessities. You must take them out to eat and use. Don't waste them, okay? Otherwise it would be a pity." Hua Xiali and Huo Beixi put the things they brought on the floor of Uncle Fang's house.
Although the ground at Grandpa Fang's house is muddy, it is very compact. It is okay to put things on the ground because they are packaged outside anyway.
"Thank you both." Uncle Fang said gratefully. He didn't expect that at his age, he could still make two such kind-hearted friends.
"Uncle Fang, the last time we came here, we found that the houses in this village were well preserved. There were no weeds growing in the vacant courtyards. It looked as if someone was living there." Although he knew the answer, Hua Xiali couldn't help but ask again.
In fact, a village can become desolate and dilapidated within ten years of being abandoned, with collapsed walls and houses and overgrown weeds. But you can't see that at all here. You can tell at a glance that someone has taken good care of it.
Every household has moved away to the new village at the foot of the mountain, and even the land has been abandoned. Who will come back to take care of the vacant courtyards?
"After everyone moved away, the houses here were no longer needed, so the doors were not locked. When I wasn't farming, I was bored, so I cleaned up the yard and repaired the houses for everyone..." When Grandpa Fang talked about the past, his eyes were full of kindness, as if he was trapped in endless beautiful memories...
