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

Chapter 236 Just take the money I give you

"As for the money for building the house, can we say that it was borrowed from you? We will pay for it ourselves, but just tell others that it was borrowed from your Xiao family, is that okay?" Jin Pengfei asked.

"Sure!" Xiao Tiantian nodded in agreement readily.

Not to mention verbally, even if it was really to borrow money, she would agree. After all, the new house was built for her and Jin Pengyuan to live in, and she also believed that their Jin family would not treat her unfairly. If she really paid the money, they would definitely pay her back later.

"Brother, I think we can prepare the building materials first, but don't rush to build the house. Let's wait until the rainy season is over. Do you remember the rainy season that year? I'm afraid that if it rains heavily again, the house will be washed away. Although this may not happen, Tiantian and Fourth Brother are not getting married right after the New Year, so the house can wait."

There is usually more rain during the plum rain season, but no one can guarantee whether it will be as heavy as the year before last.

Jin Pengfei thought about it and nodded, "Yes, Xiaochan is right. Then we will wait until August or September to build the house. We will finish the house before the autumn harvest and leave it empty for a while. Then we can move in."

"Tiantian, we will try our best to give you the best and will not let you suffer any grievances." Now that they have money in their hands, they are much more confident in their dealings with others. They believe that they can do their best.

Xiao Tiantian and Xiao Fengfeng ate another bowl of hot dumplings at Xia Chan's house, and then the two returned to the dormitory without disturbing them at Xia Chan's house. Today is New Year's Eve, and the brothers and sisters probably have other things to arrange, and they would not want anyone to disturb them at home.

After Jin Pengyuan locked the gate and came back, Xia Chan took out the wooden box containing the money and put the money inside on the table. Although he didn't earn much this year, it was much better than others.

"This year, we earned 11,500 yuan in total, plus the money shared by the team. I didn't count the change, which was used for living expenses. Each of us can get 2,300 yuan. Although it's not much, it's much higher than the annual income of workers in the city."

Xia Chan handed stacks of money to his brothers and said, "In the new year, let's work hard to make greater progress in our studies and earn more money."

"Did we make so much money this year?" Xia Qi frowned suspiciously. After the small stream and the team's river dried up, they stopped selling fish and hadn't made any money for a long time, so he could estimate the approximate amount.

This is definitely a lot more money.

Could it be that the money was supplemented by the summer cicadas?
Xia Chan glared at Xia Qi and said, "Of course I made this much money this year, but it's just that I added the money from the production team and my salary. It's only this much when you add everything together. Otherwise, how could I have made the money? Just take the money I give you, and don't talk nonsense. People won't like you if you talk too much nonsense."

Of course Xia Chan added money to the mix, a full three thousand yuan, because she didn't want her brothers to worry about money. With money, she could pursue someone she liked, go on dates with them, buy them things, and she wouldn't have to feel inferior and miss out on the person she liked.

Xia Chan counted out one hundred and twenty yuan as the family expenses for the coming year. Then his brothers counted out the money and stuffed it into Xia Chan's hands. Xia Chan put the money in the drawer and pressed it down with something.

"Fourth brother, you have a partner now. When you are free, take Tiantian to the park, watch a movie, eat at a state-owned restaurant, visit the supply and marketing cooperative and the department store. I have taken you on dates before, so just follow the steps I told you. Relationships need to be cultivated through spending more time together. You can't have deep feelings just by becoming a partner. Do you understand?" Fortunately, she had taken her brothers on dates before, so now that they really have a partner, they are not at a loss.

Jin Pengyuan nodded uncomfortably, "Xiao Chan, do you think Tiantian's family really doesn't object to our relationship?"

"If there was any objection, Xiao Fengfeng would definitely be the first to speak out, but he didn't, which shows that this is their family's attitude. Don't worry, as long as you treat Tiantian wholeheartedly and make her happy, the Xiao family will naturally not regret handing Tiantian over to you. Once Tiantian and the Xiao family regret it, it means that you haven't done enough."

Tonight, when Xiao Tiantian came in holding Jin Pengyuan's hand to officially announce their relationship, Xiao Fengfeng didn't say anything against it. That shows the attitude of the Xiao family, that the Xiao family agrees with them being together.

So the most crucial point lies in Jin Pengyuan. Whether he can really marry Xiao Tiantian depends on his own efforts. The Xiao family agrees, which is the attitude of the Xiao family. Jin Pengyuan should also show the determination and attitude of a man.

Last year everyone prepared extra gifts for Xia Chan, and this year the brothers also prepared gifts, but they really didn’t know what to prepare, so they just picked some things this year.

Jin Pengfei gave her a lot of hairpins and head flowers, which must have cost her a lot of money.

Xia Qi gave me some cold-proof and warm items, such as gloves, scarves and hats. The scarf is made of bright red wool. It would look so elegant if paired with a white coat.

Xia Bin gave Xia Chan a fountain pen and black and blue ink because Xia Chan was an elementary school teacher and needed these things.

Jin Pengyuan probably really didn't know what to give, so he just gave a bag of snacks. They now had money and tickets, and they could buy everything in the supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores, so it was possible for him to give out such a large bag of snacks.

"Fourth brother, you just confirmed your relationship with Tiantian today, so you probably haven't had time to prepare a gift for her yet, right?" Xia Chan took two of her favorite snacks from the snack bag and pushed the snack bag to Jin Pengyuan, "Tomorrow, on New Year's Day, when you go to visit relatives, give these to Tiantian. Tiantian will definitely be very happy."

"This is for you. I can buy her more later." Jin Pengyuan pushed the snacks back in front of Xia Chan. Why would he give snacks that he would give to his partner if he were giving them to his sister?

"I can't finish so much. Wouldn't it be a waste of money if it expires? I can buy it next time. You can give it to Tiantian first and make her happy." Xia Chan said helplessly. She still didn't understand after being reminded to this point. Then she could only give orders directly, "Send it to Tiantian tomorrow and say you bought it specially for her, okay? Let her feel that you really care about her, so that she will be truly happy."

There were no classes on New Year’s Eve. After everyone divided the money they earned this year and gave Xia Chan gifts, they all went to bed.

Since Yuan Bingbing did not come back for the New Year, the Yuan family celebrated the New Year together with just the three of them. Yuan Bingbing got a lot of meat for herself, and she left some for Xia Chan to help her smoke bacon for later consumption.
