Chapter 75: The blind date is decided
"We would of course be happy if you moved to our village. But this is not something we can decide. I'll help you find out first and tell you when I have news." Fourth aunt agreed readily.
Because the other uncles' homes are not far away, but Hua Xiali's home is a little farther away. If they really move here, it will naturally be more convenient to move around.
"Then I'll wait for good news from my fourth aunt." Hua Xiali was very happy. At that time, tea planting had not yet developed on a large scale, so it was okay for her to join in the tea planting.
Otherwise, when the whole mountain is covered with tea trees, she will have no chance to get involved.
She didn't know whether her parents could adapt to the life in the resettlement village after more than 20 years. Anyway, she didn't like it in her previous life. Why? First of all, there were too many people and it was too mixed. People from nearby villages all lived together.
Then there are the weird neighbors, noise pollution, and some quality issues, such as cracked walls and frequent leaks. In short, there are all kinds of problems.
However, she spent most of her time in her previous life working outside to earn money and seldom lived at home. This is why after her two sons sent Wang Liang to her place, she let Wang Liang live alone at home but she was not at home. First of all, she had to work, but in fact, she didn't like this place. Staying here was just to give herself a final place to stay!
Later, she died in the house, so it’s strange that she liked the resettlement village!
She has money to buy a detached villa and would not spend money to buy a house in the resettlement village. The houses in the resettlement village are not given for free, but are obtained by paying a lot of money.
When her father recovers, he will definitely be busy. Then she can ask her father and mother to come and help her plant tea trees and fruit trees, so that she can be closer to her relatives.
When they are busy, they live in the mountains; when they are not busy, they live in Huazhuang. When they have something to do, they will definitely not be anxious.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. Hua Xiali turned his head and saw that it was Grandpa Huo and Grandma Huo whom he had met before. They were standing outside the door with backpacks filled with chopped bamboo joints.
It seems that my fourth uncle has been making money with these two old people!
Fourth uncle used to weigh things for people, and it was not easy for two old people, so even if it was only one pound, Fourth uncle would pay people in cash. Grandma Huo came to Hua Xiali, smiled kindly, and asked in a low voice, "Little girl, do you have a boyfriend?"
Hua Xiali shook her head and smiled embarrassedly, "Grandma Huo, I don't have a boyfriend yet."
"We have an older grandson, a college graduate, 29 years old this year, very tall and handsome, but doesn't have a girlfriend yet. How about I introduce you to her?" Grandma Huo asked with a smile.
When Hua Xiali was about to say something, Grandma Huo continued, "Our Beixi is too busy at work to find a girlfriend, not because he has any problems..."
Nord Stream?
Thinking of Grandpa Huo's last name, is their grandson called Huo Beixi? Is that the Huo Beixi she knew? But Huo Beixi's situation is really similar. He graduated from college, was 29 years old, and was busy with work. Huo Beixi was in charge of five villages. He was really busy at work, and even lost his life in Huazhuang.
But since he had grandparents and family, why didn't anyone come to collect his body in his previous life? He was buried outside, and there was no other name on the tombstone except his. So this Huo Beixi was not the Huo Beixi she knew, right?
When Hua Xiali was about to say something, Grandma Huo patted the back of Hua Xiali's hand and said with a smile, "It's settled then. I'll ask Beixi to find time to come back in the next two days so that you two can meet each other. I think you will definitely like our Beixi..."
After Grandpa Huo and Grandma Huo left, Hua Xiali was still a little dazed. She didn't say anything, so how did they decide on the blind date?
She was just wondering if this Huo Beixi was the Huo Beixi she knew. She didn't agree to the blind date, and why did Grandma Huo's words that she would definitely like Huo Beixi feel a little wrong? It was as if she was particularly eager to get married and wanted to meet Huo Beixi.
"Fourth aunt, do you know Huo Beixi?" Hua Xiali came to fourth aunt and asked in a low voice.
If Huo Beixi is really from this village, then her fourth uncle and aunt must know him. In this way, they will know whether the Huo Beixi in this village is the Huo Beixi she knows.
"Huo Beixi? I'm not very familiar with him. I've never seen him before." Fourth aunt shook her head. There were many families living in the village, and they were quite distant from each other. Moreover, those who were not in the same row actually had no friendship with each other. Just like Hua Xiali and Hua Qingmei, Hua Xiali lived in the first row and Hua Qingmei's family lived in the last row of the village. If they had not been classmates in school, the two of them would have had no chance to become familiar with each other.
So it is normal that Fourth Aunt is not familiar with Huo Beixi.
"So what does this Huo Beixi look like?" Hua Xiali asked curiously. She wanted to know if they had the same name or were the same person.
"Well..." Fourth Aunt said after thinking for a while.
After listening to her fourth aunt's explanation, Hua Xiali also knew that this Huo Beixi was the Huo Beixi who lived behind her house. She didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that Huo Beixi actually lived in the same village as her fourth uncle and fourth aunt. She had been to her fourth uncle's house many times since she was a child, so how come she had never seen Huo Beixi?
Then she thought that Huo Beixi was ten years older than her, which meant that since she was able to come to her fourth uncle's house, Huo Beixi had been studying outside. It would be strange if they had the chance to meet!
Since it really is Huo Beixi, then the meeting doesn't seem so difficult to accept.
She even had a faint expectation in her heart. She wondered what expression Huo Beixi would have if he saw her.
At night, after his fourth uncle and aunt went to bed, Hua Xiali collected the bamboo joints in the yard and outside the door directly into the space, and then went back to his room to rest.
Unable to sleep, she lay on the bed, looking at the roof, with no thoughts in her mind, just staring blankly. She had not been home for several days since she accompanied her elder sister to report to school in advance. She didn't know the progress of the house at home, nor how much water was left in the river bend.
I don’t know if anyone else goes down to the river to catch fish or touch freshwater clams. It’s understandable that others catch fish, because fish is meat after all, but no one here eats freshwater clams. In her previous life, she lived for so many years and never found anyone eating them. No one also went down to the water to touch these things, probably because they were too difficult to handle.
If you want to eat this, it will take at least a day.
