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

Chapter 12 Why disappoint your parents?

At noon the next day, when Xia Chan delivered meals to her brothers, she also brought an empty basket with her and planned to pick all the wild grapes. Although they tasted a bit sour, some pregnant women like to eat sour foods when they are pregnant. , pregnant women will definitely be willing to buy it when the time comes.

Even if you can only earn a few cents from a tree of wild grapes, a few cents is still money. In this era of low prices and low incomes, a few cents can feed your family for several days!
Xia Chan handed lunch and water to her brothers, then walked to the wild grape trees with the basket. Unexpectedly, Jin Pengfei had already found time to help her pick two full baskets, so she continued to pick.

Several brothers came over to pick with Xia Chan after dinner, and soon they finished picking the wild grapes from one tree. On the surface, they filled three baskets, but while the brothers were eating, Xia Chan still picked them from time to time. I moved some to the hotel suite, so there were almost four baskets in total, weighing dozens of kilograms!

"Do you want more?" Jin Pengfei leaned on the tree trunk and looked at Xia Chan with a smile.

"Is there more?" Xia Chan raised her eyebrows, "If there is more, I will definitely want it!"

Jin Pengfei nodded, "Okay, when the autumn harvest is over, my brother will go to Hewan to help you pick it. I have seen cattle herding in Hewan before, but they are too sour and no one eats them. After so many years, they must have multiplied a lot." ”

Xia Chan nodded happily, "Okay, then thank you, brother Pengfei."

She seemed to see the money waving at her.

Jin Pengfei looked at Xia Chan's money-obsessed look and couldn't help but reached out and nodded her head, "You..."

"What's wrong with me?" Xia Chan blinked in confusion.

Jin Pengfei hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's okay, go back and have a rest! We'll bring the wild grapes back to you when we get off work tonight."

"Okay, thank you brothers." Xia Chan waved to her brothers, then went back first with a basket of wild grapes and bowls and chopsticks. Jin Pengfei hung the remaining three baskets of wild grapes on high branches. These were things that Sister Xiaochan wanted, but they couldn't be ruined by the little brats in the team.

When she got home, Xia Chan also threw two bunches of wild grapes into the chicken coop. No matter whether the chickens ate it or not, she was just pretending so that her brothers would not suspect her intention of asking for wild grapes.

When the brothers came back in the evening, they saw the wild grapes in the chicken pen that were trampled under the feet of the chickens. Sure enough, they understood Xia Chan's thoughts. They all decided to pick more wild grapes after the autumn harvest was finished.

At noon that day, when Xia Chan was cooking, she fried bacon and celery in several pots and filled several large bowls. When she set out to deliver the meals, everyone was still working in the fields. There was only one person in the village. The remaining elderly, children, and even pregnant women work in the fields.

Of course, pregnant women do not have to work, but their in-laws also let them work in the fields in order to share more food. If they meet a good in-law, they can naturally rest at home during pregnancy.

Xia Chan has no idea of ​​getting married now, and it is also because of this. As long as she gets married, she will not have such a happy life now, why should she be stupid? She has four brothers who dote on her, and they do almost 80% of the housework. What else is she dissatisfied with?
Why jump into the fire pit?
Moreover, if she married a villager, as long as she didn't move to the city, she would have to do farm work, and even face the loess and back to the sky for the next few decades. It was too terrible. The original owner's parents took on financial pressure and sent her to school. Wasn't it to let her get rid of such a life? So why did she want to disappoint her parents?
Thinking of this, Xia Chan couldn't help but shudder.

When she arrived at the cowshed, Xia Chan put down a large bowl of fried celery, then hit the wooden door with a stone. When she saw the door open, she left quickly.

Then Xia Chan came to the door of the captain's house and knocked on the courtyard door. Xia Chan's father had helped the captain. The captain remembered this kindness, so he turned a blind eye to the two brothers and sisters. .

Although they didn't help explicitly, it was a kind of help in disguise for the brothers and sisters.

"Coming, coming." A woman's voice came from the courtyard, and soon the courtyard door was opened.

"Xiaochan, why are you here?" The captain's wife was a little surprised when she saw Xiachan standing outside the door, and then asked with concern, "Xiaochan, are you okay?"

Then the Wang family is not good enough to hurt such a good girl.

"Aunt Lin, I'm almost fine. I'll be fine after a few more days of rest." Xia Chan opened the old cloth on the basket, took out a bowl of fried celery, and handed it to the captain's wife, "Aunt, this is The wild celery I found in the field is quite delicious when fried. I thought you might not have eaten it yet, so I brought it to you to try. If you think it tastes good, I will take you to pick it next time. "

"Xiaochan, this..." Aunt Lin was a little embarrassed, but looking at the shiny fried celery, she didn't reject it, but stretched out her hand to take it, "Xiaochan, thank you, I miss you even though I'm not feeling well yet. Stay with us, wait for me, and I'll get the bowls out for you."

Smelling the fishy smell of oil, Aunt Lin couldn't help but swallow her saliva. Then she quietly pinched a piece of fried celery and put it into her mouth. She narrowed her eyes with satisfaction. It was delicious and even had a salty taste. I guess it was Stir-fried in oily soup from steamed bacon.

These children are people who know how to live well. They didn't even finish the pork they shared before the Chinese New Year last year.

What a bunch of blind people who gave up on such good children.

Aunt Lin brought the fried celery to the kitchen, poured it into her own bowl, and took an egg from the cupboard and put it into the bowl. After a moment of hesitation, she took another egg. Although two eggs were exchanged for a bowl of wild eggs, Celery and his family have suffered a loss, but the brothers and sisters are also very pitiful, so just think of it as helping them!
"Xiao Chan, I just tasted it. This wild celery is really delicious. When the autumn harvest is over, how about letting a few of our kids go pick wild celery with you?" Aunt Lin was afraid that Xia Chan would see it. The egg refused and she put the big bowl directly into the basket. When she saw that there were several bowls of wild celery inside, Aunt Lin knew that Xia Chan would still send it to someone else's house. She thought to herself, this child is really a good person who knows how to be grateful. child.

Xia Chan smiled and nodded, "Okay, then after school in the afternoon, I will come to the village and ask them to pick together."

The small stream on the mountain is too far from the village. The children have short legs and it will take two hours to go back and forth. The adults in the family will definitely not worry about it, so take them to pick in the village!
In the past few days when she was delivering meals to her brothers, she saw that there were wild celery beside the small ditch in the field, and there were quite a lot of them!
