After Qiu Zhi and the others arrived, the family worked together and quickly cleared out the path to the brick house.
This place was indeed very desolate.
There was nothing inside the brick house. It was dirty and messy.
The moment she pushed open the door, a moist and moldy smell gushed out.
This used to be the Xia family’s old house. There were several rooms and the main house was very big. As long as it was reinforced and repaired, it would be enough for the family to live in.
When the three sisters saw their own house, they shouted excitedly regardless of how terrible the environment was.
.
Xia Xing said, “Sister, Cha Cha, do you see the yard? It’s so big. As long as we get rid of all the grass, we can even grow a chicken and vegetables!”
Xia Lan said, “I want to make a swing under that tree. In the future, the three of us will sit there and enjoy the breeze.”
Xia Cha said, “I want to make a small garden too.”
Xia Chuan looked at the smiles on the three sisters’ faces and smiled as well. “It will all come true. However, we have to clean the house now. Otherwise, no one will be able to stay here tonight.”
Apart from Xia Chuan, Li Erzhu, who had worked in the orchard before but had been dismissed by Xia Zhenxiang because he was too weak, also came to help.
In order to support his family, Li Erzhu had gone to work at the coal mine two years ago. Not long ago, he had sprained his waist and was now resting at home. In the morning, Xia Zhenyuan went to his house to borrow a tricycle, and he found out that Xia Zhenyuan had split up from his family.
He brought his wife, Madam Tian, and son, Li Xu, to help.
Li Xu was about the same age as Xia Lan, but he was a year younger than her. He had already taken the college entrance examination in June and was the top science scholar in the entire county.
Li Xu had a refined and handsome appearance and was clearly a well-mannered scholar.
When he came, Xia Lan ran into the room to clean up, not daring to look at him.
Xia Cha immediately knew that something was wrong. She asked Xia Xing softly, “Second Sister, Sister and Brother Li Xu…”
“What happened to them?”
Looking at the insensitive Xia Xing, Xia Cha knew that it was pointless to ask.
It seemed like her sister and Brother Li Xu liked each other.
Xia Cha did not know why, but she thought of that handsome and devilish young master of the Huo family. She had interacted with him alone twice, and he was strange every time. If he really liked her sister, would he try to take her sister by force if he knew that her sister had a crush on someone?
After a busy morning, it was almost noon and Qiu Zhi started to cook .
Although she had very little money on hand, Qiu Zhi did not want to starve the children. With the Li family’s help, she made dishes of stewed pork with vermicelli, stir-fried shredded potatoes, a large pot of wild vegetables, and stir-fried lard with chili.
Xia Cha had not eaten so well since she woke up.
In the afternoon.
Almost all of the rooms had been tidied up. Xia Zhenyuan and Li Erzhu tidied the roof.
Qiu Zhi and Tian Shi were busy tidying the yard. Qiu Zhi did not let Xia Cha do much work and let her rest in the room.
How could Xia Cha sit still? She took out a thousand dollars and asked Xia Chuan to go to the county to help her buy things.
An hour later, Xia Chuan came over.
Xia Chuan and Xia Cha arrived at a stream in the mountains.
There was a natural waterfall by the stream. Although the weather was hot, this place was very cool.
Xia Chuan handed the phone he had bought to Xia Cha. He was a little confused. “Cha Cha, your family needs money now. Why are you thinking of buying a phone?”
“Brother, I can help our family out of poverty with this phone.”
Xia Chuan touched his head, even more confused.
Xia Cha had asked Xia Chuan to get a card using Xia Zhenyuan’s identification number .
Now, 4G network was very convenient. Although the monthly fee was a little expensive, it was good that it was unlimited.
Xia Cha lowered her head and downloaded a very popular video app. After registering, she handed her phone to Xia Chuan. “Brother, stand behind me and record a video of me singing.”
Although Xia Chuan did not know why Xia Cha was recording a singing video, he still did as she said.
Xia Cha opened her mouth slightly and sang half of a song in her pure and ethereal voice between the mountains and streams.
Every time Xia Chuan heard Xia Cha’s voice, he was stunned.
After recording the video for her, Xia Chuan handed the phone to Xia Cha.
Xia Cha watched the video once. She only showed her back in the video, sitting in the mountains and rivers, singing a song that was filled with emotions.
She did not know if the video would become popular, but at least, this was an opportunity.
She typed a few words and uploaded it.
After sending the message, Xia Cha saw several small fish swimming in the clear stream. “Brother, there are fish!”
“Hold on. I’ll think of a way to catch a few and let Second Auntie make fish soup tonight.”
…
At the Huo Corporation branch office.
After the meeting, Huo Heng returned to his office from the conference room.
Jian Ming came in. “Young Master, a colleague saw this video just now. I thought that the figure looked a little familiar. Is this Miss Xia?”
Huo Heng took the phone from Jian Ming and saw a little girl sitting in the green mountains and waters in the video, singing half a song. Her voice was pure and beautiful, like a stream of spring water entering one’s heart. It was extremely pleasant to listen to.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the girl in the video for a while.
The little girl had forgotten her past memories but could still think of using a video to change her current situation.
However, although her voice was pleasant and unique, it was not easy to get too many people’s attention immediately.
There were only thirty to forty likes on her video.
However, those who liked her all left comments saying that her voice was nice and the environment was beautiful.
Huo Heng handed his phone to Jian Ming. “Help me download this video app as well.”
After Jian Ming downloaded the video app for Huo Heng, Huo Heng registered a user name: Your Knight.
After he liked Xia Cha’s video, he said to Jian Ming, “If this video doesn’t become popular in two days, I want you to contact the operator and make it popular!”
…
After dinner, after the Li family and Xia Chuan left, Xia Cha walked into Qiu Zhi and Xia Zhenyuan’s room.
Xia Zhenyuan was still busy in the yard and Qiu Zhi was tidying up the bed. Seeing Xia Cha coming over, she hurriedly pulled her to the bed and sat down. “Cha Cha, are you tired today? Mom will buy some good food tomorrow to nourish your body.”
Xia Cha shook her head. “Mom, I don’t want to be special. I’ll eat whatever you eat.”
Xia Cha took out the money she used to sing last time and handed it to Qiu Zhi. “Mom, I used some of it. I’ll leave the rest to you. I’ll still sing next week. After the summer break, there will be enough for our tuition fees.”
“Cha Cha, Mom and Dad are useless. How could you have to earn your tuition fees?”
“Mom, I’ll be angry if you say that again.”
Qiu Zhi put her arm around Xia Cha’s shoulders and Xia Cha leaned into her arms with a smile on her face. “I think it’s worth it for our family to suffer a little. Besides, we will definitely live better than those people in the Xia family’s old house in the future.”
Qiu Zhi nodded. “I won’t say such depressing things in the future. To be honest, today is the happiest day since I married your father.”
…
Xia Cha came out of Qiu Zhi’s room. Thinking of the video she had recorded in the afternoon, she clicked on the video.
