Chapter 9 Her left eye is the best proof
So Hua Xiali whispered to his fourth aunt, "Fourth aunt, I have a way to make money, do you want to know?"

"What method?" Fourth aunt became interested. At her age, she couldn't find a job outside. It would be good if she could earn money at home.

"There is a pig farm owner who needs bamboo shoots to feed his pigs. The ones with the shells are one cent per pound, and the ones without the shells are two cents per pound. When I come over tomorrow, we can break the bamboo shoots together and sell them." Hua Xiali said with a smile, hugging his fourth aunt's arm.

"Really?" Fourth aunt was shocked. How much money could one make from growing bamboo shoots all over the mountains?

"Of course it's true. How could I lie to my fourth aunt? My family owes so much money, and I want to pay everyone back as soon as possible!" It's too slow to pick bamboo shoots by myself. If I ask my fourth aunt to help, I can get twice the result with half the effort. Otherwise, it will be a pity to wait until the bamboo shoots on the mountain are old.

Moreover, bamboo grows in large quantities every year and it is impossible for it to become extinct.

Fourth aunt nodded happily, "Okay, then we two will pick bamboo shoots and sell them together."

She still has two sons' marriage issues to deal with, and she also wants to earn more money so that when her sons have girlfriends, she won't have to worry about money issues.

"Fourth aunt, I'm going home this afternoon and will come over tomorrow afternoon. If you are free when I'm not here, you can break them first, so that you can break more." Hua Xiali said.

She has to go to Huo Beixi to get money tonight, otherwise she doesn't want to go back. After all, bamboo shoots grow fast and will be old in a day or two. There is no time to waste.

However, due to different bamboo species, the time when bamboo shoots sprout is also different. It can be said that there are bamboo shoots all year round. You can come and see whether there are any bamboo shoots ready.

After lunch, Fourth Uncle sent Hua Xiali to the main road to wait for the bus. Fourth Uncle put down the bundle of fruit saplings and asked worriedly, "Can you take so many things back? I'd better take you back!"

"No need, Fourth Uncle. I won't be tired if I take the bus back." Hua Xiali said with a smile.

When the car arrived, Hua Xiali got on with the fruit saplings, waved to his fourth uncle, and found a seat to sit down.

After returning to the Huazhuang pick-up point, Hua Xiali put the medicine patch on her eyes again after getting off the bus, and then went home carrying the fruit tree seedlings. The pick-up point was only twenty minutes away from her home, but now she had some more things in her hands, and it was a bit tiring to walk such a long distance, so she collected a few seedlings of each kind of fruit tree and put them into the Lingquan space.

Because she planned to keep these and plant them in the yard when she moved to a new house. After all, Qinglong Village would be demolished in 20 years. If she planted all the flowers here, she would not be able to take any of them with her, which would be a shame.

Hua Xiali had just walked to the door of her house carrying the remaining fruit saplings when Hua Chunli rushed out to greet her and took the things in her hands. "Are you exhausted?"

"I'm not tired. It's not heavy." Hua Xiali smiled. It's just sixty saplings. How heavy could they be? Moreover, she had collected almost half of the fruit saplings and placed them in the Lingquan space.

"Where do you plan to plant these fruit tree seedlings?" Hua Chunli asked curiously.

"Just plant them all in the yard, densely packed as you like. When you and your brother-in-law build your house in two years, you can just transplant a few of them there."

The homestead is still a vacant lot. If we plant the fruit saplings there now, they might be destroyed by the children in the village. After all, children have very strong destructive power.

Her left eye was the best proof. She just passed by the group of children and suffered such an unexpected disaster. If it hit other children's heads, they would probably be directly split open, so it was not excessive for her to accept the old hen.

Hua Chunli took the fruit tree saplings to a cool place in the backyard, disassembled them and took them out, and placed them against the wall. Hua Xiali found a suitable place in the yard, marked it, and then asked Hua Chunli to dig the hole first. She wanted to rest for a while, after all, she had been sitting in the car for so long that her body was almost broken.

There are more than 30 fruit tree seedlings to be planted, which means more than 30 holes need to be dug. This is also a big project, and the three of them, mother and daughter, have to take turns to do it.

Hua Xiali rested for a while, drank some spiritual spring water to restore his strength, and then went to the backyard to dig holes and plant trees.

The mother and her two daughters worked for several hours before they planted more than thirty fruit trees and built a grape trellis. After the grapes had covered the trellis, they could rest in the cool air under the trellis.

Hua Xiali was thinking about borrowing money from Huo Beixi at nine o'clock in the evening, so after dinner, she took a shower early and took down the wall clock in the living room and brought it into the room so that she could check the time.

In the 1990s, rich people had luxury cars, villas, and mobile phones, but her family didn't even have a small electronic watch.

But it doesn’t matter, now that she is back, she can get whatever she wants in the future.

At night in the countryside, there was no noisy sound except the sounds of birds, animals and insects. At half past eight, Hua Xiali quietly came to the backyard in the moonlight, then stood on tiptoe and looked towards the public well, only to see a tall black shadow standing there.

Unexpectedly, Huo Beixi was already standing there waiting for her. Afraid of delaying his rest time, Hua Xiali quickly opened the door in the backyard and walked towards the well.

Finally, it stopped about one meter away from Huo Beixi. Huo Beixi had a strong aura and was very oppressive. Her heart was pounding with nervousness and she felt like she could hardly breathe.

"Secretary Huo." Hua Xiali forced himself to calm down and greeted him with a smile.

The moonlight was dim, and even Huo Beixi couldn't see clearly the expression of the girl in front of him, but in his heart he seemed to see everything clearly.

Huo Beixi retracted his gaze and handed the envelope in his hand to Hua Xiali, "We are not in the brigade headquarters now, and it is not my working hours. You don't have to call me Secretary Huo, just call me Huo Beixi."

"Huo..." Hua Xiali looked up at the oppressive person in front of him, but he couldn't call out his name at all, as he felt it was too rude.

"Hmm?" Huo Beixi raised his eyebrows.

"Huo... Huo... Beixi." Hua Xiali's tongue was about to break as he stumbled out his name. He then took out the IOU he had written in advance and took the envelope from Huo Beixi's hand. "Thank you for lending me the money. I promise you that I will pay you back with interest before the New Year."

After Hua Xiali finished speaking, she bowed to him to express her gratitude, then turned around and left quickly. She was afraid that if she stayed any longer she would become so nervous that her heart would explode.
