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

Chapter 214 The Second Best Option
When Yuan Bingbing came in the evening, she stuffed twenty yuan into Xia Chan's pocket. Xia Chan understood what she meant and nodded, saying, "Everything is ready. You can just carry it back when you leave. Ask him to bring bowls, chopsticks, teacups, and lunch boxes. The lunch boxes can be used to heat water and cook food."

Yuan Bingbing was so excited that she almost slapped Xia Chan on the face, "Xiao Chan, you really understand me so well."

"Sister Bingbing, is it worth it for you to be so nice to Zhou Zhiqing?" Because Yuan Bingbing didn't tell her the details of their relationship, Xia Chan didn't know whether Zhou Ji had done anything for her. All she saw was Yuan Bingbing's dedication to Zhou Ji.

"Of course it's worth it. Zhou Ji is very good to me and is willing to spend money on me. Last time, he risked his life to save me at the park gate and directly fought with that man. I knew that I didn't like the wrong person. If it were someone else, they might really believe them and think that I was a woman who ran away from home because she didn't want to get married. And he never asked me about it once afterwards, which shows that he trusts me very much." Yuan Bingbing still has some confidence. She can see that Zhou Ji is sincere to her.

"That's not bad. He's willing to spend money on you, which means he loves you. Some people are not willing to spend money at all, and they just rely on their mouths to say nice things to make girls go around in circles. Those who can take practical actions are still good."

Xia Chan didn't expect that Zhou Ji was willing to spend money on Yuan Bingbing before they made their relationship public. He was not like some people who were too concerned about the cost and were afraid of suffering losses in the end and were unwilling to pay anything.

Just like Yuan Bingchao in Xia Chan's dream, he never handed over a penny of his salary to Xia Chan, which was enough to show that he had no Xia Chan in his heart. The reason he married Xia Chan was just for the sake of getting married and to complete this thing in his life, not because he loved Xia Chan.

If he really liked Xia Chan, he would not have written to disturb Xia Chan after Xia Chan clearly rejected him. If you truly like someone, you should respect that person's decisions instead of disturbing and pestering him.

But he will probably meet someone he truly likes in the future, and then he will be willing to give.

Many people fail to marry the person they truly love, so they just marry someone at random, asking that person to have children, take care of the home, and be filial to their parents. Anyway, Xia Chan will never be the second best choice for others who cannot marry their loved one.

Tonight we had fish stewed in an iron pot. There was a circle of cornmeal cakes on the edge of the pot, and then there were white radish, carrots, tofu skin, white tofu... and other side dishes in the pot. It was a whole big pot, and it was almost full.

Everyone ate directly by the pot, because there was no basin big enough to hold such a large pot of food, so they could not stand by the pot. So they took a bowl of food to the side to eat, and came back to take more after they were done. Eight people ate up the two ten-pound fish cleanly.

"Tiantian, Sister Bingbing, when they come back from hunting, I will make you fish offal hotpot. Fish offal hotpot is really delicious, I like it very much." After eating the two big fish today, Xia Chan kept the fish offal.

In the past, when eating big fish, Xia Chan would also collect the fish offal because she planned to make a fish offal hotpot separately.

"I'm looking forward to it now." Xiao Tiantian said with a smile while biting her chopsticks.

"You little foodie, you only think about eating all day long. When you get married in the future, you must choose someone who has good cooking skills and is willing to feed you. Otherwise, if you eat like this, they will definitely say you are greedy." Even people in the city are reluctant to eat like this. One meal will cost the food expenses for ten days or half a month. Unless they are from a big family, no one would be willing to do this.

"I won't marry anyone casually. I won't even consider anyone who doesn't meet my requirements. If anyone dares to say I'm greedy, I'll kick them away." Xiao Tiantian said, stretching out her foot and making a funny face. If she really accidentally married the wrong person, she still has her grandparents, parents, and so many other family members, and they will definitely seek justice for her.

"Yes, if the person you marry in the future bullies you, just tell us and I will bring my brothers to smash their house. My brothers are very powerful and everyone is afraid of them." Xia Chan said proudly.

At the beginning, her brothers helped her get back a hundred yuan in compensation from Wang Zhisen's family. You know, in their countryside, a hundred yuan was two or three years' income in the past few years. The Wang family was really hurt.

"Okay, then I'll rely on you from now on." Xiao Tiantian laughed.

After dinner, Xia Chan asked Xiao Fengfeng and Yuan Bingbing to carry the things back. A man's rations for more than twenty days would weigh at least forty or fifty kilograms. Xiao Fengfeng carried his stuff, and Yuan Bingbing carried hers. Then the three of them went back down the mountain.

Yuan Bingbing handed the backpack to Zhou Ji and said, "There is food here, but you also need to bring bowls, chopsticks, teacups, lunch boxes, straw paper, matches, salt, etc. You will need them as well."

Zhou Ji reached out and pulled Yuan Bingbing into his arms, hugging her tightly. "Bingbing, thank you. I asked them. There are a hundred or eighty hunters. They have never been in danger, so they won't be in danger now. Don't worry about me."

Yuan Bingbing put her hands into his clothes, pinched him through his sweater, and said coquettishly, "Who is worried about you? You are too self-indulgent!"

Zhou Ji lowered his head and kissed Yuan Bingbing, "I'm worried about you, okay? You'll be gone for more than ten or twenty days, and I'm really worried about leaving you alone at the educated youth camp."

"What are you worried about? Isn't Tiantian here with me?" Yuan Bingbing pushed Zhou Ji away, her cheeks slightly flushed. "Okay, it's too cold, go back and pack your things. We have to gather at the grain drying ground before dawn. And the fish I just brought back for you, heat it up before you eat it."

Zhou Ji held Yuan Bingbing's hand and walked her to the dormitory door. He watched her go in before carrying the backpack back to his dormitory.

After the meeting in the morning, Zhou Ji signed up for hunting in the mountains. In the afternoon, he hurried to the post office in the town to call his mother and asked her to come over at the end of December. If she came during this period, she would neither be able to see him nor Xia Qi, which would be a complete waste of time.

By the end of December, it will be the Chinese New Year. With the annual leave plus the vacation time she has saved up, there will be quite a while left. Then she can investigate this matter carefully. Now the situation is still uncertain, so Zhou Ji will not get close to Xia Qi.

Once he finds out Xia Qi's identity, he will never agree to let anyone hurt his mother.

Xia Qi had to go down the mountain to gather before dawn, so Xia Chan let him go to bed first. He didn't have to go to class tonight. After that, she would teach her other three brothers. In less than half a year, he would have to go to school to take the graduation exam, so he had to hurry up.
