Chapter 33 Don't Try to Steal Her Opportunity Again
Hua's mother and Zhang Yongfeng quickly took the spicy potatoes, used the bamboo stick handed over by Hua Xiali, picked up a piece of potato sprinkled with chili powder and stuffed it into their mouths.
Spicy and fresh, soft and sweet, the two were amazed as soon as they took a bite. Hua's mother even said while eating, "This potato is so delicious. I have never eaten such a sweet potato!"
"Maybe the potato variety I picked is good. Since this potato tastes good, I will buy this kind of potato in the future."
Delicious potatoes do have a light sweetness, so the sweet taste of potatoes may not necessarily be caused by the spiritual spring water, but the spiritual spring water can definitely enhance the taste of the potatoes and make them taste better than before.
"I'll give some to your dad." Hua's mother was about to leave with the spicy potatoes.
Hua Xiali said hurriedly, "Mom, this is too oily and spicy. My dad can't eat it. Let's make fried shredded potatoes with vinegar tomorrow. Dad can eat this."
"That's fine." Mother Hua came back with the spicy potatoes and ate them while saying, "Hua Qingmei, who grew up with you, is getting married. Our mother's family doesn't have any money, so I sent her twenty eggs."
"What?" Hua Xiali looked at his mother in surprise, "You sent eggs to Hua Qingmei's family?"
She had previously fed the chickens, ducks and pigs at home with water mixed with spiritual spring water, so the eggs and duck eggs also contained spiritual spring water, which was good for the body. As a result, now they were sent to Hua Qingmei's family. Isn't this a bargain for Hua Qingmei's family? What if Hua Qingmei regained her memory and asked her for the grass bead bracelet again?
"What's wrong?" Hua's mother asked worriedly.
Hua Xiali asked hurriedly, "Mom, where did you get these twenty eggs?"
"I took it from the cupboard," said Hua's mother.
"That's good." After hearing what Hua's mother said, Hua Xiali finally let go of her worries. The eggs in the cupboard were laid after the spiritual spring water stopped. Even if they were good for the body, they would definitely not be as effective as the previous batch. Hua Qingmei's family treated her like that, and she didn't want them to take advantage of her in the slightest.
Hua Qingmei's fiancé's home was quite far away. After Hua Qingmei got married, the two families were very far apart, so Hua Qingmei definitely wouldn't come back often.
Hua Qingmei's family doesn't even have a bicycle. Even if Hua Qingmei's betrothal gift is not low, her parents will not let Hua Qingmei take it away, because they have a son in the family and they must take care of their son. It is impossible for them to buy Hua Qingmei a bicycle.
In this way, Hua Xiali can use the spiritual spring water to regulate the health of his family members without worrying about Hua Qingmei finding out.
Anyway, in this life, Hua Qingmei can't use her or snatch her opportunity anymore.
Hua Xiali brought out another serving of spicy potatoes and said to Zhang Yongfeng, "Brother-in-law, now you get to practice. Potatoes taste good no matter how you cook them, so don't feel any pressure."
After handing the teppanyaki to Zhang Yongfeng, Hua Xiali went out with the portion of spicy potatoes she had just packed. Since the spicy potatoes were made in the backyard tonight, Hua Xiali did not go out through the small door at the back because she was afraid of being seen by her mother and Zhang Yongfeng, so she ran to find Huo Beixi.
Next to Hua Xiali's house, on one side is the house of her third uncle, and on the other side is the house of another villager. When her father and uncles separated, they applied for a homestead to build a house, that is, they built a house wherever there was a homestead, so they separated from the old house of grandparents. The old house of grandparents was divided into the family of fourth uncle, and grandparents lived with their favorite fourth uncle's family. Other children paid pension money or food at the end of each year. Because Hua Xiali's father had a good job, Hua's father paid the most. Those who had money paid money, and those who had no money paid labor. Hua's father paid more money, so naturally he was not needed in terms of labor, so Hua Xiali's family was not at a disadvantage!
Now Hua Xiali's family and his third uncle's family are neighbors, and there is one house between them and his fourth uncle's family. However, they are still very close, after all, they all live in the same row.
Coming out of the alley next to his uncle's house, Hua Xiali held the spicy potatoes and walked towards Huo Beixi's house under the moonlight. The lights were still on in Huo Beixi's house, indicating that he had not gone to bed yet.
But it’s still early now. Who can sleep so early?
Hua Xiali came to the door, raised his hand and knocked on it, and soon the door was opened. This time Huo Beixi was even more exaggerated. He came out with his upper body naked, and only a large towel around his waist. It was unknown whether he was wearing any clothes underneath!
Hua Xiali was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes involuntarily fell on his waist and abdomen, as if he wanted to penetrate the big towel...
It was not until he heard Huo Beixi's suspicious voice that Hua Xiali reacted. His cheeks couldn't help getting hot. He turned around hastily and couldn't help complaining, "Why did you come out without clothes on?"
"I just finished taking a shower and hadn't had time to get dressed when I heard a knock on the door. If you don't believe me, you can come to the bathroom and take a look. The bath water is still hot!" Huo Beixi laughed softly.
"You can't be without clothes, what if others see you? Ten years ago, your behavior would be..." Hua Xiali said, and couldn't help swallowing. Although she just took a quick glance, she had to admit that his figure was really good and very attractive.
Men like him with broad shoulders, narrow waist and long legs are really rare. Ordinary people have no chance to meet one in daily life. After all, there was a statistic in the previous life that men over 180cm tall only accounted for 10% of the country.
In terms of height alone, he exceeds 90 percent of men.
He is excellent in all aspects, but his life is unlucky. Not only did he die young in his previous life, but he also has no family members. He still relies on her, a divorced person, to sweep his grave and burn paper money for him during the holidays. However, she also regards him as a friend whom she can confide in, so it is her duty to do this for her friend.
"I know it's you who's knocking on the door." Huo Beixi smiled faintly. If it were someone else, he wouldn't give them such a good 'benefit'.
When Hua Xiali turned around with confusion, Huo Beixi had already put on his coat. Huo Beixi's eyes were obviously filled with joy. "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Hua Xiali handed over the spicy potatoes in his hand, "This is the spicy potatoes I made. I would like you to taste it and comment on it."
Then Hua Xiali opened the lid of the takeaway box, picked up a piece of potato with a bamboo stick, handed it to him, and looked at him expectantly.
Huo Beixi lowered his head and ate the potato on the skewer directly, watching the expression in Hua Xiali's eyes change from expectation to surprise in an instant. He found it particularly interesting, and a hint of tenderness appeared in his eyes.
But then he started coughing violently.
Hua Xiali didn't have time to be surprised, and quickly reached out to pat him on the back, and then quickly handed him the teacup on the table, "Hurry up and drink some water, who told you to eat so fast? Are you still a child? Don't you know to eat slowly?"
