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

Chapter 13 Brother, just agree.

Then Xia Chan went to the second house. The second house was her mother's friend's house. This aunt and her mother also met when they were working in the village. The aunt was also a poor person. She was about to give birth and was still in the fields. While working, she almost fainted due to exhaustion. Xia Chan's mother helped her and sent her home. That's how the two got to know each other.

Later, the aunt gave birth to a baby, a boy. As a result, the mother-in-law did not cook or wash clothes, and did not help at all. She did everything by herself, and Xia Chan's mother occasionally came over to lend a hand, so the two of them became friends. A deep sisterly love.

That is, the life of the couple was not good. The two sons they gave birth to first were not able to support themselves. Many years passed before they gave birth to a son and a daughter. These two were able to support themselves. Because they were born later, they were better than Xia Chan's brother and sister. The two are much smaller.

The eldest daughter is only ten years old this year, and the youngest son is seven years old.

Qin Hongmei heard the knock on the door and ran over to open the door. She was a little surprised to see Xia Chan standing outside, "You kid, why did you run out at noon? Is it hot?"

"Aunt Qin, it's autumn harvest now. It's October, and winter is about to enter. How hot can it be!" Xia Chan said with a smile, then opened the old cloth on the basket and saw that there was more After two eggs, they knew it was the captain's wife who secretly put them inside. Her eyes became hot, and then she took out a bowl of fried celery and handed it to Qin Hongmei, "Aunt Qin, this is the wild celery I discovered recently. It's stir-fried." It’s quite delicious. I thought you might have never tasted it before, so I’ll give you a bowl to try. If you like it, I’ll ask Xiaoyue and Xiaoyang to go out and pick it together next time.”

Then, Xia Chan stuffed two eggs into Qin Hongmei's hands, "Aunt Qin, this is what I gave to Uncle Dayong to nourish his body. Make some egg soup so that the whole family can have a bowl."

Jiang Dayong broke his leg while cutting branches in the mountains a few years ago. He did not receive timely treatment. Now he relies on a cane to walk and cannot do heavy work, so he stays at home doing housework most of the time, allowing Qin Hongmei to go out and earn work points without any worries.

Fortunately, he has no machismo, nor does he feel inferior because of being disabled. Otherwise, if he makes trouble with Qin Hongmei, Qin Hongmei and her children will have a difficult time.

"Xiaochan, you..." Qin Hongmei's eyes turned red when she heard this. Her parents-in-law had given up on their family and completely ignored them. The conditions were not good and she couldn't help Xia Chan and the others. Thinking that Xia Chan was still thinking about them made her feel very guilty.

"Aunt Qin, there's no need to say anything. I still have something to ask for help from Aunt Qin in the future. If Aunt Qin doesn't accept it, then how can I have the nerve to ask Aunt Qin? Aunt Qin, don't you think so?" Xia Chan chose He raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.

Qin Hongmei wiped the corners of her eyes and nodded, "Then Xiaochan must come to me if anything happens in the future. Don't be polite to me, you know?"

"Aunt Qin, don't worry, I will definitely come, as long as Aunt Qin doesn't think it's troublesome for me."

After Qin Hongmei returned the big bowl and gave Xia Chan a few big eggplants, Xia Chan walked into the fields because she just heard the bell ringing for the end of work.

Just give it to these two families today. As for the remaining families, take your time. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. With these families who have a good relationship, Xia Chan still wants to move around and maintain the relationship.

Although I can’t help you much, I can help you a little in the future!
For example, when several brothers get married and have children, they themselves know nothing about these matters and have no elders to help them. If they are friends with everyone, can they not lend a helping hand?

Xia Chan sent food to two families a day. Within a few days, the families who had a good relationship with Xia Chan all tasted the salty and fragrant fried wild celery and thought it was delicious. They all planned to let their children go with Xia Chan to pick wild celery. That evening, Xia Chan took the children of several families to pick wild celery by the small ditch at the foot of the mountain. He taught them to recognize wild celery and how to pick it. After that, Xia Chan let them pick it by themselves.

Wild celery grew very luxuriantly here, and they soon filled a small basket. When they were about to leave, Xiaochan called them over and whispered, "This wild celery won't taste good if you eat it every day. In a few days, it won't taste good." You help me pick wild celery and touch snails, and I'll help you change things, okay?"

There are really a lot of wild celery beside the fields and ditches in the village. Xia Chan can't pick much by herself. With this group of half-grown helpers, she can get twice the result with half the effort, so she can save some time. .

"Can I exchange it for candy?" Jiang Yue, the eldest daughter of Qin Hongmei's family, blinked and asked expectantly.

"Sugar is more expensive, and I don't know if I can get it, but if we have a lot of stuff here, we should be able to get it. Do you want to try it?" With her here, you can naturally get sugar, but only if they provide it. The wild celery must be heavy enough.

"Then I'll change." Jiang Yue said excitedly.

"We will change too." The other children were also very happy.

"Okay, then starting from tomorrow, you will send wild celery and snails to my house before everyone leaves work in the evening. This matter must be done quietly and no one else can know. Do you understand? If anyone asks, you will When you talk about your own food, don’t say that I will help you change things, otherwise the whole village will ask me to help, and I won’t be able to change so many things, don’t you think?”

The youngest children here are seven years old, so if you reason with them, they will understand.

After talking to the children, Xia Chan felt relaxed, and she wouldn't have to be busy in the future.

After the children came home, they told their family members, who were very happy. Xia Chan went to junior high school in the city and knew many people. Maybe she could actually get something in exchange, even if she couldn't exchange for good things. , it would be good to replace it with some old things that the city people have discarded!
Therefore, the family members are very supportive of them and ask them to listen to Xia Chan, keep it a secret, and not tell outsiders about this matter.

Soon, half of the autumn harvest was over. The good things she and Xia Qi bought in the town had been eaten up long ago. Xia Chan couldn't bear to let her brothers eat dried fish and wild celery every day. , Xia Chan said, "Brother, I plan to go to the town tomorrow, so in the morning and noon, you will cook for yourself!"

Xia Bin raised his head and looked at Xia Chan, "What are you doing in the town?"

"Isn't there nothing good at home? So I plan to buy some free bones and pig meat and come back. Now that the autumn harvest is so tiring, I must eat and drink well!" Xia Chan looked at Xia Bin, no He kept blinking, as if to say, 'Brother, just agree! '

If she doesn't go out, she won't have a chance to take out her good things!
