Traveling through the ages with the hotel, being doted on by four brothers

Chapter 119 Why are you my brother?
After visiting the bookstore, it was already lunch time when they came out. The five brothers and sisters went straight to the state-owned restaurant. They ordered two braised pork, two braised fish, one chicken stewed with mushrooms, and two sweet and sour pork ribs. They didn’t order any vegetables. After all, they were at home. There are so many vegetables that we can’t finish them all. Who wouldn’t want to spend money to order some vegetables?
The staff was a little surprised when they heard Xia Chan's order, "You've ordered so much, have you finished it?"

Xia Chan stuffed a handful of White Rabbit toffee into it and said with a smile, "Eat it all, eat it all, there are five of us brothers and sisters! Sorry for bothering you, sister."

Afterwards, Xia Chan ordered ten more large steamed buns. How could she not eat so much and order some soup to relieve the greasiness? Xia Chan ordered another kelp, seaweed and egg drop soup.

When the food was served on the table, the five brothers and sisters all started to eat it. It was indeed delicious. After all, the chef had many years of cooking experience, which was not something ordinary people like Xia Chan could compare with.

When the guests at other tables saw their table ordering so many meat dishes, they all mentally scolded them for being country bumpkins. It was a rare occasion for them to order so much meat when they were in the city, but they also envied them for having money and tickets. After all, steamed buns require food stamps and braised pork requires food stamps. Meat tickets, fish still need fish tickets!

This is why my brothers can always sell fish. If you are a city dweller without relatives in the countryside, you need fish tickets to even eat fish!

With the strength of many people, the food on the table was swept away, and everyone was full. However, we couldn't sit here and take up space because there were people outside waiting to come in to eat, so the five of us took the food. Got up and went out.

Next it was time to go to the cinema. I walked there from the state-owned restaurant, which was just the right amount of time to help digest my food. Fortunately, these bustling places were located in areas with large passenger flow and not too far away, so I arrived at the cinema in a short while.

The movies at that time were almost all touching and exciting anti-Japanese war films. They were the same movies played over and over again, but in an era without entertainment activities, there was nothing fun to do except watching movies.

Since I had just eaten lunch and my digestion was slow, I didn’t buy snacks like melon seeds and peanuts. Instead, I bought movie tickets and went straight in when the time came.

A few dozen minutes later, the movie was over. Xia Chan turned around and looked at his brothers, sensing that they were still a little reluctant to leave. "A ticket is only 20 cents. Even if we come to watch it every day, it'll only cost more than 70 yuan. How about we come to watch it more often in the future? Once a week, or once every two weeks, how about that?"

Xia Qi stroked Xia Chan's hair and said, "Didn't we just finish watching it today? Are you already thinking about the next time?"

"Can't we plan first?" Xia Chan smiled.

"Let's talk about it when we get back!" Xia Qi said.

I just finished watching the movie and I’m still a little overwhelmed. Thanks to all the great military comrades for driving out the people from the Little Days Country. Otherwise, how could they have such a stable life now!
"It's still early now. It's too hot to walk back. We might get heatstroke. How about we go to the scrap yard?" Xia Chan suggested.

"Okay!"

Afterwards, the five siblings went to the scrap yard together. Xia Chan found some complete books, comic books, and newspapers, while the brothers wandered around aimlessly and didn't find anything good. In the end, they took two small pieces of furniture that were still usable. Since they were there, they definitely couldn't go back empty-handed!

It was a little after four in the afternoon and the five brothers and sisters were on their way back. Today was a very fulfilling day. They did a lot of things, ate delicious food, and even made a special trip to the supply and marketing cooperative on their way back.

I went in and bought some glutinous rice noodles, egg cakes, fruit candies and White Rabbit milk candies. I didn't want to be seen by people from my village, so I went back from another hill. It was almost dark when I got home, so I sat down to rest for a while. I didn't plan to cook, so I just cooked noodles.

While the noodles are cooking, hot water is also boiled for the summer cicadas to bathe.

The men can just wash in the stream, and go out to catch crayfish and eels at night. Even if they want to take a bath, they have to wait until they come back.

After eating noodles and attending an hour's class, the brothers were about to go out with wooden buckets, fire tongs and flashlights. Xia Chan was about to close the gate, but saw Xia Qi sneaking back.

Xia Chan was about to ask him, but Xia Qi locked the gate and pulled Xia Chan into the house.

Because they are her brothers, Xia Chan never doubts that they will do anything bad to her. Even if they want to hurt herself, they will never hurt her.

Xia Qi mysteriously took something out of his pocket and showed it to Xia Chan. Xia Chan opened his eyes wide in surprise and covered his mouth in disbelief, "Brother, where did you get this?"

It turned out to be a large yellow croaker, weighing more than 300 grams and weighing six taels of gold. According to the prices in the 21st century, this large yellow croaker is worth 120,000!
Xia Qi pulled Xia Chan's hand over and put the big yellow croaker in Xia Chan's hand. Then she took out another big yellow croaker from her other pocket and put it in Xia Chan's hand again. She also held Xia Chan's hand with her hand and said, "I found this at the scrap yard today. I hid it quietly without making a sound."

Xia Chan looked at Xia Qi in disbelief, "Brother, how come you are so lucky?"

She has been to the scrap yard so many times, but has not picked up any big or small yellow croakers. She did pick up some discarded furniture legs that were of the wrong weight, but she has not checked them until now, and doesn't know whether there are any big or small yellow croakers in them.

"It's because you're by my side that I have such good luck." Xia Qi said with a smile, "These two big yellow croakers are given to you. They are yours from now on. Keep them well and use them when you need them in the future."

"Give it to me? Didn't you ask me to keep it for you?" Xia Chan was even more surprised.

"Here you go. What do I need this for? I have food and drinks. This is useless. You are a girl, so you should prepare more money for self-defense." Xia Qi said seriously. He is not short of money now. He only got one thousand yuan during the Chinese New Year last year. He will get several thousand yuan during the Chinese New Year this year. There is no need for this thing.

"Brother, why are you my brother?" Xia Chan was so moved that his eyes began to turn red.

"What's wrong? I'm your brother, are you unhappy?" Xia Qi raised his eyebrows and looked at Xia Chan with a hurt face. Did Xia Chan dislike his disfigurement? He subconsciously reached out and touched the scar on his face. Although he applied scar removal cream every day, it had been so long and the scar was still very obvious.

"No, if you were not my brother, I would choose you as my husband. You are tall, long-legged, handsome, and have a gentle temper. Most importantly, you are good to me. Where can I find such a husband in the future?" Xia Chan said hurriedly.

Xia Qi is very good in all aspects and is generous. She is really a good candidate for a husband, but there is no way he can become her husband.
