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

Chapter 266 We Will All Miss You

"Since there's nothing to do, I'll go to the educated youth center to inform Tiantian and the others to come over for dinner in the evening." It's not time to cook yet, so are they just going to glare at each other?
How embarrassing would that be?
"No, I told them about it when I came back." Xiao Yunfan pulled Xia Chan over to sit down, "Xiao Chan, I just remembered that there is a very interesting place not far away. The ice sculptures there are very beautiful. They will slowly melt in March and you won't be able to see anything. Now we can still catch up and take a look. Would you like to go with me?"

When Xia Chan heard the word "ice sculpture", her eyes suddenly lit up. Was it the place she was thinking of?
Then she slapped her forehead. She was now in the north, not very far away from the popular tourist attraction that would become popular decades later. Why didn’t she think of going there to take a look?

She remembered one winter when that place was extremely popular. Many people went there to travel. Each project was so crowded that people had to queue up slowly. She was in college at that time and had no money to travel, so she could only watch the happy videos of everyone having fun on her mobile phone.

There is no tourism activity at this time. Only locals go there to have fun, so there definitely aren't many people.

"I really want to go. My brothers will definitely not feel comfortable letting me go out with a gay man for a few days. Can you come up with any good way to get them to let us go?" Xia Chan threw this difficult question to Xiao Yunfan.

She really wanted to go there and have a look. After all, in a few decades, she would be old and probably wouldn't have the energy to travel, so she might as well go there now while it doesn't cost any money.

After all, I have never been there and I don’t know how to get there. I will go with Xiao Yunfan to explore the way first. Then when we hibernate next year, I can take my brothers there to play.

Moreover, traveling is the best way to see a person's character. By then, I will also have a clearer understanding of Xiao Yunfan. If there are potential problems, it will be useless no matter how much Xiao Yunfan loves her.

"Okay, then leave this matter to me. I promise to let your brothers let you go, and I will also protect you and not let anything happen to you." Xiao Yunfan held Xia Chan's hand, very happy.

It was almost time, so Xiao Yunfan went to cook dinner. Today, Xiao Yunfan was the head chef, so Xia Chan did not join in. Instead, she sat behind the stove and lit the fire for him.

Xiao Yunfan stewed a big goose in an iron pot, and also put in cubes of white radish, onion, carrot, and kelp, so it looked like a big pot full. There was also a circle of two-grain flour pancakes stuck to the edge of the pot, which was a mixture of cornmeal and white flour.

The two big roosters were directly cooked into chicken stewed with mushrooms, and a big pot was also made. After it was cooked, it was put into a big casserole and placed on the kang to keep warm. The pot was washed and the salted sea fish was started.

Two salt sea fish, one steamed and one braised.

I made a kelp and shrimp soup.

I used the leeks that Xia Chan brought over to make scrambled eggs with leeks, and also stir-fried another vegetable that Xia Chan grew himself in a pot.

After dinner was ready, Xia Chan went to call her brothers as well as Xiao Fengfeng and Xiao Tiantian to come for dinner. The siblings came in the evening, but stayed at Xia Chan's house and did not come to Xiao Yunfan's place.

Xia Chan didn’t think too much about it, but in fact, the brother and sister didn’t want to disturb their chance to be alone.

During dinner, everyone was talking happily. Xiao Yunfan glanced at Xia Chan, and then said to Xia Chan's brothers, "Jin Pengfei, Zhou Qizhi, Xia Bin, Jin Pengyuan, we have a small task here, and we need to invite Comrade Xia Chan to help us, so I need to borrow Comrade Xia Chan for a few days."

After all, the others were not Xia Chan's biological brothers and could not make any decisions for her, so they turned their heads to look at Xia Bin.

Xia Bin pondered for a moment and asked, "Can you guarantee Xiaochan's safety?"

He knew that in this kind of situation, they could only cooperate. "It's safe, our comrades will absolutely guarantee Comrade Xia Chan's safety, and we will definitely send Comrade Xia Chan back intact." Xiao Yunfan said it very seriously, as if it were real.

Xia Bin nodded reluctantly.

"Then I can discuss the details of the cooperation with Comrade Xia Chan later, okay?" Xiao Yunfan asked.

Xia Bin nodded again. Although Xia Chan was his sister, he could not control Xia Chan's life. She had to go out and meet more people and see more of the world. If she stayed in the mountain village all the time, this might be the way her life would be.

After dinner, everyone left, and Xia Chan naturally stayed to discuss the details of the cooperation with Xiao Yunfan. "Xiao Chan, it will not be good for you if others see you traveling with me, so tomorrow morning you take the ox cart to the town by yourself, and I will wait for you at the entrance of the town, okay?"

Xia Chan nodded, "You underestimate me! I can go anywhere by myself, let alone the town."

"I'll go borrow someone's car tonight, and we'll drive there directly. This way we can save time on changing buses or waiting for other buses. It's also more convenient to carry things if we drive ourselves. We should bring more cold-proof clothes." Xiao Yunfan said.

"Okay." If I drive myself, I'll be less exposed to the cold.

It's much colder over there than here, at least ten degrees colder. The lowest temperature here is minus ten degrees, and over there it's minus twenty degrees, so you really have to prepare something to keep warm, otherwise you'll easily get frostbite.

When Xia Chan was about to leave, she took Xiao Yunfan's hand and put the household registration book and passbook back into his hands. "You should keep this yourself. If we get married, you can give it to me. I promise I won't refuse and I won't hesitate to use it. But I really can't take it now."

After Xia Chan finished speaking, he turned and left.

He earned his money by risking his life time and time again, and now she is not qualified to use it.

After teaching her brothers in the evening, Xia Chan began to pack things for the trip. She opened the wooden box and placed things inside one by one, including food and other useful things.

"Xiao Chan, you must be careful and safe." Zhou Qizhi said reluctantly, "We will all miss you."

"If they can't take good care of you, we won't agree to help us again if they need help in the future," Xia Bin said with a sullen face.

Jin Pengfei nodded vigorously. "Yes, I don't know what kind of help we ordinary people need. Don't they have any suitable female comrades?"

Xia Chan smiled helplessly, "Okay, don't worry about me, I will be back fine, and please help me eat the food and drinks at home, don't save them." Then Xia Chan said to Zhou Qizhi, "After eating the konjac tofu, don't make it for now. Wait until I come back. I have a new plan."

Zhou Qizhi nodded, "Don't worry, are you still worried about me doing things?"

After packing up, Xia Chan went to rest. When she opened the curtain, she saw the red plum blossoms that she had placed next to the vanishing cream. The red plum blossoms were kept in a small ceramic pot and were now blooming brightly, red and particularly beautiful.
