Chapter 85 What vegetables are you planning to grow?
Coming down from the mountain, Huo Beixi asked, "Let's go back tonight? Do you want to go back together?"
Hua Xiali nodded and said, "Go back and get the money for you."
It’s not a loss to buy so many things with ten thousand yuan.
Huazhuang will be demolished in the future, so this place will be her home and her roots.
Hua Xiali went back and said goodbye to her fourth uncle and aunt, then left. She said she was going home, but she didn't say she would go back with Huo Beixi. They didn't even know what Huo Beixi's real occupation was now!
Coming down the mountain, she arrived at her usual get-off point and saw Huo Beixi sitting astride a bicycle waiting for her. Hua Xiali glanced at the back seat of the bicycle and saw a box tied to it, so there was no place for her to sit.
"Huo Beixi, you don't really want to take me with you, do you?" In the past, it was because they met by chance on the road at night, and he didn't know he would meet her, so it was understandable that he was holding something on the back seat of the bicycle.
But now that he knew she wanted to ride his bicycle, with so many things tied to it, taking up the back seat of the bicycle, where could she sit?
Huo Beixi patted the crossbar in front of the bicycle and said, "I've ridden on it so many times before, why can't I do it today?"
"It's not dark yet." Hua Xiali said embarrassedly. It was always at night when she met Huo Beixi in the first few days of setting up the stall. She was sitting in front of the bicycle and no one saw her. But it was different now. The sky was still bright and there were many people she met outside. What if she was seen by someone she knew?
"It's okay, it will be dark soon and no one will see you. Besides, I'm here, how can I let this happen to you?" Huo Beixi patted the crossbar in front of the bicycle again.
Hua Xiali hesitated for a moment and then walked over, held the handlebars of the bicycle and sat on the crossbar. Huo Beixi pushed his feet and rode away on the bicycle carrying Hua Xiali.
"Huo Beixi, can you keep the fact that I bought the house and land from you a secret? I don't want my family to know yet, because I don't know if they will blame me." Hua Xiali felt a little hurt when she thought that both parents had their own favorite children. She was not sure whether they would be happy or angry for her when she told them about this.
However, Hua Xiali felt that they were more likely to be angry. He thought that she must have grown independent and wanted to get away from home, so she bought a house somewhere else.
But Hua Xiali really didn't think like that. She just wanted to leave herself a way out. Even if she had nothing in the future, she still had six acres of land and a hilltop in the mountains. With these things, she would never starve.
After riding the bike for a while, it got dark and the visibility became lower and lower. However, there were street lights along the way. When we reached the junction of urban and rural areas, there were no street lights anymore.
Huo Beixi turned on the flashlight and handed it to Hua Xiali, who then held the flashlight in his hand to illuminate the road ahead.
"Tomorrow when everyone is working, please come to the brigade headquarters." Huo Beixi suddenly said.
Hua Xiali nodded. She knew that Huo Beixi called her over to tell her about the wasteland behind the school. The land was very strange. When it didn't rain, the land was very dry and hard. When it rained, the land became lumps. The village had planted crops there before, but there was almost no harvest, so the land became a wasteland.
So if Hua Xiali offers to buy this wasteland, the villagers will definitely agree, because this will bring the village extra income.
On the road behind, Huo Beixi rode his bicycle quietly, and Hua Xiali looked at the road ahead quietly. Neither of them had any communication.
Suddenly, Hua Xiali spoke up, "It hasn't rained this year. If I were to farm freshwater clams, I wouldn't be able to do it this year. But I can't waste a year. I plan to grow some vegetables in the second half of the year. Any profit I can make will be good. Do you think it's okay?"
"Are you sure?" Huo Beixi was very surprised, "Aren't you afraid of that place..." "I'm not sure, let me try it first!" Hua Xiali also knew that nothing could be grown there, but the money had been spent, so it wouldn't be a waste, right?
Moreover, she has magical spring water, so she can grow anything naturally. But she can't let everyone see her confidence, so she can only say that she will give it a try first.
Fourth uncle's house is quite far from Hua Xiali's house, but Hua Xiali usually either takes a car or calls for a special car to take him there, so he doesn't realize it. But tonight, when I came back by bicycle with Huo Beixi, it really felt like a long time and a long way.
Hua Xiali's eyelids were drooping and she nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice. Then Huo Beixi turned her head over and let her lean on his arms.
It was unknown how much time had passed before Hua Xiali slowly opened his eyes. He was startled to see Huo Beixi looking at him, "Are we here yet?"
"It's been a long time since we got here." Huo Beixi smiled faintly.
Hua Xiali sat up straight in a hurry, turned his head and looked around, and unexpectedly he was outside Huo Beixi's house. "I'm already at the door, why didn't you wake me up?"
"How do you know I didn't scream?" Huo Beixi raised his eyebrows.
Hua Xiali jumped off the bicycle and reached out to Huo Beixi, "Where are the keys?"
The gate of Huo Beixi's house had a new lock, which could be locked from the inside and outside, and opened from the inside and outside. After getting the key, Hua Xiali went to open the door and then entered the house.
Huo Beixi waited outside for a while, and only pushed his bicycle in after Hua Xiali fell asleep. For the time being, he definitely couldn't let the Hua family know that he and Hua Xiali came back together in the middle of the night, otherwise the Hua family would probably be furious, which would not be good for...
The next morning, Hua Xiali went to the brigade headquarters when everyone in the brigade was at work to find Huo Beixi and discuss the idea of buying wasteland to start a business.
The authorities have always encouraged farmers to start businesses to increase their revenue, so the village cadres would naturally not refuse Hua Xiali's idea of starting a business. Instead of letting the land lie idle, it would be better to let Hua Xiali give it a try. If he is really successful in his business, it will be a good thing for the village.
Moreover, the area of the wasteland is very large. If Hua Xiali really wants to buy it, he will have to pay a lot of money. This way, the village will have a lot of extra income, which can be used for village infrastructure construction.
This money is the village's income and will not be distributed to the villagers.
Huo Beixi asked the deputy branch secretary to negotiate the matter with Hua Xiali. Hua Xiali was determined to buy it, so the deputy branch secretary took people to the back of the school to measure the wasteland there.
This matter could not be dealt with in a short time, so Hua Xiali went back first and just waited for the notification from the village.
At noon that day, Huo Beixi came home for lunch. Hua Xiali handed him 10,000 yuan for the house purchase and said, "Here is 10,000 yuan, count it."
Once all the certificates are obtained, the six acres of mountain land and a hilltop will truly belong to her alone.
