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

Chapter 122 Take care of yourself first

In the countryside, as long as you work hard and find some scraps and corners, you can grow something for yourself.

After the meal, the brothers rested for a while and then went down the mountain to work. Yuan Bingbing reached out to hold Xia Chan's arm and joked with a smile, "Xia Chan, I didn't expect that all four of your brothers are pretty good-looking. You must be very happy to have these four handsome brothers around you every day, right? Can you even eat a few more bites?"

Xia Chan smiled sheepishly, "It's indeed very eye-catching and happy, but I didn't eat much because I only have such a big appetite." Then Xia Chan also teased Yuan Bingbing, "Whose brother do you like me? Do you want me?" May I introduce it to you?”

Xia Chan feels that her four brothers are all very good. If they marry a daughter-in-law, they will definitely make her happy.

Yuan Bingbing blushed shyly, "Oh, I have a fiancé."

Xia Chan thought in her heart that if Yuan Bingchao was more powerful, she would soon be without a fiancé.

Uncle Yuan is looking for a partner for his daughter, but he doesn’t know if he has done a thorough investigation. Although this Cui Haiyun has a good-looking face, his temperament does not look like that of a gentleman. Why are parents so determined to arrange such a life and death for their daughter? object.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Yuan Bingbing's eyes lit up, "My dad must be here, I have to go."

Seeing Yuan Bingbing like this, Xia Chan thought of herself. In the 21st century, she could not sit still when she went to other people's homes. She had to go home after lunch and was so anxious.

Xia Chan picked up a large sack filled with vegetables and followed Yuan Bingbing out. As expected, they saw Yuan Daming standing outside the gate. Xia Chan put the sack on the ground and said to Yuan Daming, "Uncle Yuan, these are vegetables grown at home. Take them back for your family to taste."

"Xia Chan, thank you. Bingbing came to your house and didn't prepare anything for you, but she ate and took everything. How embarrassing!" Yuan Daming was a little embarrassed. Last time Xia Chan brought two baskets of things to their house, and this time it was such a big bag. They really took advantage of Xia Chan too much.

"Uncle Yuan, Bingbing also brought me a lot of things that we can't buy here. I am very grateful to Bingbing." Xia Chan said with a smile.

"Xia Chan, we're leaving now. We'll come to visit you next time." Yuan Bingbing waved happily to Xia Chan and left with her father.

Xia Chan sighed inaudibly. She didn't know how long she could remain happy like this. She hoped that she wouldn't be too devastated by then.

Xia Chan turned around, tidied up the house, and went out with his backpack.

After the beginning of autumn, every household starts preparing things for the winter, such as firewood, wild vegetables, mushrooms, nuts... Although it is not time for the autumn harvest yet, every household is very busy.

Everything that can be dried and preserved is dried, and everything that needs to be pickled is pickled.

Now there are no crayfish and eels to catch, so my brothers go out to chop wood every day to prepare firewood. Of course, they don't chop trees, but some messy branches and dead trees. Living trees are definitely not allowed to be cut down.

If they encounter wild vegetables and fruits, they will bring them back. After all, they have been doing this since childhood, so they are familiar with them. They will pick them together when they encounter them.

Xia Bin also used his off-work time to research the lobster net, which was made of bamboo strips and was heavier, but still usable. However, it was too late to catch crayfish this season, so he could only make a few more lobster nets and put them in the utility room, ready for use when summer arrives. There was no such thing as a seven-day National Day holiday in this era, only one day off on National Day. The team leader also knew that this day was a rare holiday, so he did not send Xia Chan to drive a tractor. Those who wanted to go to the town had to either walk or take a bullock cart.

Xia Chan had a complete day off, so he was naturally not in a hurry. He slept until nine o'clock in the morning. After waking up, he was reluctant to get up and continued to stay in bed. After a long while, he slowly got up.

My brothers went out to chop wood, and breakfast was left warm in the pot.

After having breakfast, Xia Chan went to the swamp, because it was the harvest season for the taro beside the swamp. She squatted alone beside the swamp and began to harvest the taro. It took her a long time to harvest last year, and this year would be the same. She could only harvest a few hundred kilograms a day, and she harvested slowly.

The production team will have the autumn harvest in half a month, and everyone will have no problem eating enough, so she will not hand in the taro for the time being. She will hand it in when she is needed. Now that she is not needed, she will make good money.

Take care of yourself first before you can help others.

When Xia Chan went back, he also visited the big persimmon tree from last year. Sure enough, the tree was full of huge persimmons, but they were not yet very yellow, with only some of them having a little yellow skin. It was too early to pick them at this time, and even if they were made into persimmon cakes, the taste would not be very good. So Xia Chan decided to wait until the end of the month, when everyone had harvested the crops, before picking them.

One tree can produce 100 to 80 kilograms of persimmon cakes, which is quite good.

In mid-October, Xia Chan went to the town's high school to take the midterm exam. Since Xia Chan could not take the exams one by one like other students, she sat in her homeroom teacher's office and took the exam.

The examination papers for each subject were placed in front of her.

After she finished an exam, her head teacher gave the test paper to the corresponding teacher and asked the teacher to mark her score first. When the score came out, Xia Chan was very satisfied, and her head teacher was also very satisfied, because Xia Chan's score could rank among the top five in the class.

But Xia Chan had to work in the village after all, and the teacher could not ask her to sit in the classroom for classes, so she could only let her study at home, and she could ask the educated youth if she had any questions.

Two days after the exam, the production team held a village meeting. The main content of the meeting was that the autumn harvest would begin tomorrow. They hoped that everyone would have enough food to eat and be well rested, and then have a good harvest. They also said that after the harvest, they would give everyone a fish.

Of course, it was Xia Chan who told him about this fish.

Everyone was very happy to hear this and was full of energy.

The next morning, the autumn harvest officially began. As soon as the work bell rang, everyone went to the fields to harvest potatoes. After all, some of the educated youth were harvesting for the first time, and they were afraid that they would rot the potatoes, so they were asked to pull out the potato vines. After pulling them out, they only needed to pick the potatoes at the roots. As for those left in the soil, they would be dug out by the veterans in the village, which would also prevent the potatoes from being damaged.

The strong laborers carried the potatoes onto the tractor in baskets. When the entire tractor was full, the summer cicadas would then transport the potatoes to the warehouse.

Due to the delay caused by heavy rain, potatoes were replanted late. The potatoes were not as big as last year, and the yield was not as high as last year, only about 80% of last year, but it was already very good.
