Chapter 318 Hua Ling
"Second sister, second brother-in-law, come here. I'll serve you some chicken soup." Hua Qiuli came out of the room and said with a smile.
"No need, we can serve it ourselves." Huo Beixi pulled Hua Xiali to the kitchen, took a soup bowl from the cupboard, opened the lid of the casserole, and scooped out the soup.
He scooped the chicken gizzards, chicken hearts, chicken livers and chicken wings into the soup bowl, then scooped a few more spoonfuls of soup and brought it to Hua Xiali on the dining table.
Hua Xiali scooped a spoonful with a spoon and tasted it. It tasted very delicious, but she didn't feel anything. It seemed that the time had not come yet. In this case, she had to seize the time to drink more and eat more, otherwise she would not be able to eat these things for several months.
"Why don't you drink it?" Seeing Huo Beixi standing next to him and watching, Hua Xiali said with a smile, "You're not going to leave the chicken soup for us, are you? There's a whole casserole of chicken soup, how can we finish it?"
"Take your time drinking. I'll go to the kitchen to see if I can help you." Huo Beixi touched Hua Xiali's hair and turned to go to the kitchen.
Hua Chunli said with a smile, "I didn't expect Huo Beixi to take such good care of you. It turns out that this is what an old man looks like when he falls in love."
She still remembered the day Hua Xiali married Wang Liang. The Wang family left and then Huo Beixi came. Before that, the two of them had no intersection. She didn't expect that after getting married, they would live such an enviable life.
"What old man? He is only ten years older than me." Hua Xiali said helplessly, "I don't like people younger than me, nor do I like people of the same age. I just like this."
People who are young or of the same age are immature and ignorant. Being with such people will only make you suffer.
And because he was Huo Beixi, she wouldn't care how much older Huo Beixi was than her, not to mention that he was only ten years older. In the whole life she had lived, there were often thirty years age difference between husband and wife. What was this big of a difference for them?
"Your earrings are different from the last time. Are they new?" Hua Chunli asked curiously.
Hua Xiali nodded, "Yes, Huo Beixi just bought it for me."
"Huo Beixi is so good to you!" Hua Chunli said with a smile. Their marriage was rushed and Hua Chunli had actually been quite worried. However, Huo Beixi had been nice to Hua Xiali for more than a year, so there was no need for him to worry.
Zhang Yongfeng was also very good to Hua Chunli, but if it was presented to Huo Beixi, it would not be impressive enough. Zhang Yongfeng made a lot of money running the braised food shop, with a profit of tens of thousands a month, but Hua Chunli's jewelry was still the pearl jewelry that Hua Xiali gave her.
Hua Chunli also knew that people should not be compared or compete with each other, otherwise she would be angry to death, and Zhang Yongfeng treated her very well. She could not compare with Hua Xiali, but she was many times better than others, so she should be content.
Hua Xiali didn’t know Hua Chunli’s psychological activities, otherwise he would definitely say, “Just tell me what you want. Others are not worms in your stomach, how can they guess what you are thinking?”
Or, if you take Zhang Yongfeng directly to a gold shop or a bank and tell him what you want, will Zhang Yongfeng refuse to buy it?
In the evening, Zhang Yongfeng, Huo Beixi, their third uncle and their fourth uncle went to the cemetery to burn paper money for the Hua family's grandparents. When they arrived at the cemetery, Huo Beixi couldn't help but look at the place where he had been buried. This used to be his final resting place, but the appearance of Hua Xiali changed everything.
Otherwise, he would definitely continue lying here, facing endless darkness, coldness and dampness... "Huo Beixi, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Huo Beixi staring at one place in a daze, Zhang Yongfeng asked worriedly.
"It's okay." Zhang Yongfeng withdrew his gaze and shook his head.
Arriving at the graves of the Hua family's grandparents, the uncle drew a circle on the grass in front of the graves with a branch, then put paper money in it, lit it with a match, and muttered, "Grandparents, come and collect the money. May the children grow up healthy, get 100 points in the exams, and have a promising future..."
Huo Beixi stood at the back with an expressionless face, but a sneer in his heart. Hua Xiali had already told him how the Hua family's grandparents treated them. If he didn't want to give everyone a chance to point fingers, he would not have come at all.
The feeling of burning paper money for them is just as disgusting as burning paper money for enemies. If they are really enemies, I can naturally not come, but these are Hua Xiali's grandparents, I really have to come.
However, Huo Beixi and Zhang Yongfeng did not kneel down and kowtow, but just stood and bowed three times, which was already very good.
Watching the smoke from the paper money drifting into the sky, Huo Beixi couldn't help but glance towards the location of his own "grave". He didn't know what kind of mood Hua Xiali was in every time he came to burn paper money for him.
Afterwards, everyone burned paper money for Grandpa Hua’s younger brother, and also burned paper money for some people who were somewhat related to him, and then went home.
On the way back, they met the second son of Hua's grandfather's younger brother who came with his son and daughter. Although this son was the second child in the family, he got married earlier than Hua Tiefeng, so his two children were older than Hua Tiefeng's children. The daughter was two years older than Hua Chunli, and the son was one year older than Hua Chunli. Hua Chunli and her two sisters had to call them cousins.
They are older than Hua Chunli, so naturally they are all married, but they all found their other half in the countryside. After all, it is not easy for country people to find a partner in the city, unless they are particularly capable or can gain a foothold in the city.
I just don't know why Hua Chunli's cousin was not at her husband's house on New Year's Eve, but returned to her parents' house, and even went to the cemetery. In fact, in rural areas, women don't go to the cemetery. Hua's mother has never been to the cemetery.
Hua Xiali came here because her parents were buried here. If she didn't come, she wouldn't be able to pay homage to her parents. It was because she came to pay homage to her parents that she saw Huo Beixi's tombstone.
After Zhang Yongfeng and Huo Beixi left, Hua Ling looked back at Huo Beixi with a hint of jealousy in her eyes, "The man next to Zhang Yongfeng is Hua Xiali's husband, right?"
Zhang Yongfeng had been in the village for a long time, and Hua Ling had met him before, so she naturally knew him. However, she had not returned to the village for several years and had not seen Huo Beixi. She knew that Hua Xiali was married, but she had not returned, so she speculated whether the man next to Zhang Yongfeng was Hua Xiali's husband. It couldn't be Hua Qiuli's man, after all, Hua Qiuli was still a student.
Thinking that the man Hua Chunli found was better than her man, and now Hua Xiali's man seemed to be good in every way, Hua Ling felt as uncomfortable as if being pricked by a needle.
Why is it that the man she married is a drinker, a whore and a gambler, and even beats her when he comes home drunk? Why are Hua Chunli and Hua Xiali able to marry so well?
