After what Xia Hongyi said, it didn’t matter if it was true or not. At the moment, it proved that there was no problem with the fengshui here. They had asked the Fengshui Master to come over to take a look just to feel at ease. Since there was no problem with the fengshui now, they could pick a day to start the work.
Su Li looked at Xia Hongyi and said, “I’ll have to trouble you to help me choose date. We want to start construction as soon as possible. It’s best if we can move in before the new year.”
Xia Hongyi said, “Why are you in such a hurry? If you want to move in before the new year, you have to start construction now. If not, you definitely won’t be able to move in!”
This family was also strange. If they wanted to move into a new house earlier, why didn’t they start work earlier? Why did they have to wait until now?!
Moreover, why was it not the head of the family who spoke? Shouldn’t the male owner have the final say?
He saw that He Yufeng was standing at the side without saying anything, as if his wife had the final say. He was too lazy to speak. As long as he was given money, he did not care who was in charge.
Su Li didn’t know what Xia Hongyi was thinking. Otherwise, she would definitely knock him on the head. Did he think that she didn’t want to? She would find it too much to stay in this dilapidated house for a second!
When Su Li heard Xia Hongyi’s words, she nodded and said, “Yes, it’s best if we can start construction tomorrow.”
Xia Hongyi:
Wasn’t this a joke?
She wanted to start construction tomorrow after reading Fengshui today. He had never seen anyone so anxious in his life.
Xia Hongyi looked at He Yufeng and asked for his opinion. He Yufeng nodded and said, “We’ll listen to her!”
Xia Hongyi:
As expected, they were not from the same family, he didn’t understand the dynamics of this family!
“Okay, I’ll help you, but you definitely can’t do it tomorrow. I just read fengshui for someone eolse yesterday. It’s not suitable to start construction tomorrow.” Su Li nodded in understanding. “Then the day after tomorrow is fine too.” Xia Hongyi:
He pulled a book out of the cloth bag. It bore some resemblance to the calendar of the twenty-first century, but not quite, because it didn’t record dates, but some auspicious zodiac days, and something else to note.
Su Li asked curiously, “Sir, your book is not bad. Where can I buy it?”
Xia Hongyi did not expect Su Li to ask this. He felt that she had taken a fancy to his book and immediately covered it up like a treasure. He looked at Su Li warily, as if Su Li was a bandit.
Su Li was speechless.
Was she that kind of person? Why was he looking at him like that?!
“Don’t be nervous. I’m just curious!”
Xia Hongyi distanced himself from Su Li and said, “This is my family heirloom.
You can’t buy it outside.”
Su Li said regretfully, “Oh Since I can’t buy it, forget it!”
Xia Hongyi started to flip through the book and even muttered something.
When Su Li saw him like this, she found it a little funny. However, in order to avoid attracting hatred, she tried her best to hold it in.
Xia Hongyi closed the book and said, “There aren’t many good days these few days, but it’s a good day in ten days. If you feel that it’s inconvenient, I’ll pick another day for you.” Xia Hongyi said.
“Is the earliest ten days later?” Su Li asked.
Xia Hongyi nodded hard and said, “Yes, ten days at the earliest. Don’t even think about tomorrow or the day after tomorrow!”
He Yufeng looked at Su Li and asked for her opinion.
Su Li nodded and said, “Alright, ten days later then!”
She was anxious to stay in her new house and did not want to wait a moment longer. Moreover, the weather was getting colder. What was so good about this dilapidated straw hut? It was hot in summer and they froze to death in winter.
If not for the fact that her pockets were cleaner than her face, she would have changed this dilapidated house when she first arrived.
Seeing that it was getting late, Su Li said to Xia Hongyi, “Sir, it’s getting late. Why don’t we have a casual meal at home and you can stay for another night before sending you back tomorrow?”
When Xia Hongyi heard that he had to stay for a night, he was so frightened that he hurriedly waved his hand. “No, no! You should send me back. I’m not used to sleeping in other people’s beds!”
It was not because he could not get used to sleeping in other people’s bed. The house looked tattered inside and out. He felt that if he stayed here for a night, his eyes would probably be dark tomorrow. He should go home!
“Have a meal before leaving.” Su Li continued to persuade him to stay.
Xia Hongyi continued to refuse. “No need. I’m not hungry yet. I’ll eat at home later! ”
Xia Hongyi felt that Su Li definitely wouldn’t be able to cook anything delicious. It wasn’t worth it to go back because of such a meal. It wasn’t safe to walk at night now, so it was better for him to go back quickly.
Seeing that Xia Hongyi was really unwilling to stay, Su Li did not force him.
She took out the chili sauce she had made and gave Xia Hongyi a small bottle.
“I made this chili sauce myself. It can be used to stir-fry vegetables or mixed with rice. It smells very good!”
What she needed to do now was to spread the name of the chili sauce and let everyone slowly familiarize themselves with the thing called chili.
Xia Hongyi was puzzled. “Chili sauce? This is the first time I’ve heard of this name, and it’s also the first time I’ve seen this thing.”
Logically speaking, he was someone who had seen the world. Why had he never heard of chili?
Su Li smiled and said, “We happened to find this seed on the mountain. I didn’t expect it to grow well after we brought it back. In addition, it feels a little spicy, so we gave it a name.”
Hearing this, Xia Hongyi nodded. No wonder he had never heard of it. It turned out that this thing was found on the mountain and she had named it hrtself!
Xia Hongyi took a look at the red thing and suddenly wanted to smell it. He opened the bottle cap with force and a fragrance assailed his nose. He could not help but sigh. “It smells so good!”
He fell in love with this smell immediately.
Looking at Xia Hongyi’s expression, Su Li knew that this customer would not be able to escape. She smiled and said, “Take it back and try it first. If it tastes good, you can buy it. I’ll give you a discount when the time comes.”
Xia Hongyi nodded and said, “Alright, thank you. If it tastes good, I’ll come back to find you.”
Su Li smiled and sent Xia Hongyi to the door. He Yufeng untied the ox rope outside the courtyard and drove Xia Hongyi back.
Su Li did not ask where He Yufeng’s ox cart came from. She felt that He Yufeng had most likely rented this ox cart from someone else. After all, it was not convenient to travel. The ox cart only made two trips a day, so it was more convenient to rent it himself.
Chen Xiang had just returned from work and happened to bump into Su Li. She opened her mouth to greet Su Li, but Su Li turned around and entered the house without even looking at her.
Chen Xiang swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. She felt that she and Su Li were getting further and further apart. There was no going back between them!
If she could go back to that day, would she make the same choice? Chen Xiang looked a little confused. She did not know if she was wrong..
