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

Chapter 163 It hasn’t rained for a long time

At Xia Chan's age, her children are probably two or three years old, but Xia Chan still doesn't even have a partner. At this age, many people are already worried that she won't be able to get married.

By the time she wants to get married, it will probably be difficult to find a first marriage.

But it's okay. If he never gets married, he, the elder brother, will never get married either. It's good that the two of them depend on each other. After all, he doesn't think there is another man in the world besides himself who can be so patient with her.

Their parents are buried not far away. When they grow old, they will be buried not far away from their parents. This can be regarded as a family reunion.

The brother and sister chatted quietly for a while and then fell asleep.

When she woke up the next morning, Xia Chan stretched out feeling comfortable, but the back of her head still hurt a little. Fortunately, Lu Lixia didn't hit the most vulnerable spot, otherwise she would definitely have lost her life.

Some women are really cruel, and for their own selfish purposes, they will do anything and put their lives in vain, but now she deserves it. No matter what kind of punishment, she cannot afford it.

Her brothers helped her take a week off, so she didn't have to go to school, so she had another seven days. The brothers also took turns to rest and accompany her. Now the crops in the field were growing at this time, and it was time to weed and weed. During the insect stage, it is not as busy as farming, so it is okay to take a break occasionally.

Today was Xia Qi's day off to accompany Xia Chan. After all, he had used all his strength to save Xia Chan yesterday and needed rest to recover.

Xia Chan took Xia Qi to the mountain to pick bamboo shoots, otherwise the bamboo shoots would not taste good when they got old.

They took a detour to avoid being seen by the villagers, otherwise they would definitely say that if they had the strength to break bamboo shoots, then they would not have the strength to teach. Teaching is much easier than breaking bamboo shoots.

Xia Chan squatted on the ground and picked bamboo shoots for a while, and he felt cold sweat on his forehead. After this ordeal, his physical fitness had really deteriorated a lot.

"Xiao Chan, you sit aside and peel the bamboo shoots. I'll break them." Seeing that Xia Chan didn't look very good, Xia Qi really didn't want her to move anymore, but she was a person who couldn't sit still, so let her do it!

Xia Chan peeled some bamboo shoots and put them on the ground. Then he sat on them and started peeling them quickly. He looked up at the bright and dazzling sunlight and couldn't help but wonder, "Brother, has it not rained for a long time? I feel like it hasn't rained since the last snow in winter. Isn't it said that if you cover yourself with a 30% quilt in winter, you can sleep on steamed buns next year? It didn't rain at all. Isn't it a bit abnormal?"

"Don't worry, it's not time for rain yet. Think about July last year." Xia Qi said.

By June and July, there will be more rain, but as long as it is not as heavy as last year, it will not affect grain production.

Seeing that Xia Chan was still frowning and looking worried, Xia Qi came over and squatted in front of her, reaching out to rub Xia Chan's hair, "Don't worry, if it really doesn't rain and the grain production decreases, your brothers won't let you starve."

"Of course I know." Xia Chan smiled brightly. Before, she didn't have the golden finger, and she didn't have the memory of the 21st century. Her brothers never let her go hungry. The food wasn't that good, but at least she could eat enough. Xia Chan decided to wait until mid-to-late June to come back. If it still didn't rain by then, she would remind everyone to be prepared and bring more edible things from the mountain home.

Xia Chan herself was not too worried because she had a golden finger. She used the savings from the 21st Century to buy some things at the beginning, and would only use it occasionally afterwards, so there was still a lot of savings left, enough to support the five brothers and sisters until the resumption of the college entrance examination.

So Xia Chan quickened the speed of peeling bamboo shoots, and finally the two of them carried back two full baskets of tender bamboo shoots. As for the bamboo shoot shells, they were left here to dry, and they would come back a few days later to collect them and use them as firewood.

When she got home, Xia Chan boiled water to blanch the bamboo shoots, and fried a large enamel basin of spicy bamboo shoots. She dried the remaining half and made pickles for eating. As long as they were bamboo shoots, Xia Chan would taste good no matter how they were cooked.

But this is the north, where there are no winter bamboo shoots. Summer cicadas prefer to eat large winter bamboo shoots. The winter bamboo shoot braised pork made with large winter bamboo shoots is also very delicious. The crispy and sweet winter bamboo shoots are wrapped in fragrant gravy, and the two aromas mixed together are so delicious.

You can buy winter bamboo shoots in the "Crossing Mall", but they are too expensive. The price of one pound is almost the same as that of one pound of pork. In this age when meat is hard to buy, it is better to buy meat than winter bamboo shoots, so she just eats the bamboo shoots here.

During the next few days of rest, Xia Chan took a brother to pick bamboo shoots every morning, and in the afternoon she dug wild vegetables near her own hilltop. In the middle, she also went to the vicinity of the cave and harvested the water spinach and amaranth planted there. She also trimmed the messy branches of the grape vines and applied some fertilizer.

She originally bought two-year-old seedlings. Last year was the third year since they were planted, and this year is the fourth year. Some flowers have bloomed now, and she can eat grapes in August or September.

There are many birds and animals in the mountains, so once the fruit is stable, we have to start bagging the grapes, otherwise they cannot be preserved.

Xia Chan was very afraid that it would not rain this year, so she went to the "Crossing Mall" and bought five large white plastic buckets with a capacity of 2,000 liters, which could hold about 1,900 kilograms of water. Then she went to the stream to clean the plastic buckets, filled them with water, and put them in the space kitchen.

Although they were second-hand, the five large plastic buckets still cost her more than 1,500 yuan in savings.

But she did not regret it. After all, she had planted so many things on the hill. If it did not rain this year, all of them would most likely be wiped out, and her hard work for a year would have been in vain. If she could keep these things, she would be able to make a lot of money this year. This fifteen hundred yuan deposit was a deposit from the 21st century and was not as valuable as the money from the 1970s.

The water is used to irrigate the crops she grows, and as for her own drinking water, she gets it from the hotel kitchen.

Ever since receiving the jade products from Xia Bin on New Year's Eve, Xia Chan has added jade products to her later transactions with the black market boss. Maybe the black market boss has always had these things, so he always gives Xia Chan a lot every time.

However, there are relatively few jade products with good water content and quality like Xia Bin's, so she picked out the good ones and put them aside, and put the rest of the ordinary ones together. She might not make a lot of money from the ordinary ones, but it would be okay to make a little money.

After all, it is really cheap at that time. If you take it out and sell it for a few thousand or tens of thousands after a few decades, you can still make a small profit.
