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

Chapter 274 He Was Not After Ginseng
"How about, after the autumn harvest this year, let Tiantian bring Jin Pengyuan home so that we can meet him. If he's really good, we can let them get married earlier. After all, Tiantian is about to turn 21, and it's time for her to get married. We are still in good health now, so we can help them more." Grandpa Xiao said.

Grandma Xiao thought about it and nodded, "Okay, let Tiantian bring Jin Pengyuan and Xia Chan here so that we can see what Lao Si's sweetheart looks like. Someone who can make Lao Si fall in love must not be an ordinary person. Ask Lao Si to show us the photo, but he refuses to give it to us and insists on hiding it."

"Maybe the fourth brother doesn't have the other person's photo either? If they are really dating, would he not tell her? If he didn't tell her, it means he is still in the stage of trying hard." Grandpa Xiao said.

"Then we have to let Xia Chan come over. Then we can lend a helping hand to the fourth child so that the two children can be together sooner." Grandma Xiao couldn't help laughing as she spoke, thinking that she was so smart.

Xiao Fengfeng and Xiao Tiantian kept praising Xia Chan in their letters, which shows that Xia Chan is really good, but she has never met her in person, so she still has no way of understanding what kind of person she is. Only by meeting her in person can she know.

If he is really outstanding, she would propose marriage for the fourth son as soon as possible and could not delay any longer.

"Then I will write to Tiantian some other day and ask her to bring Jin Pengyuan to visit Beijing after the autumn harvest." Grandpa Xiao was also very excited.

Grandma Xiao said, "Isn't it too early now?"

"It's getting late. There are only a few months left. Besides, tell them in advance so that they can prepare in advance! This way they don't have to rush and panic." Grandpa Xiao said.

Yuan Bingbing and Zhou Ji's wedding had been scheduled for May 8th, and they would take leave on May 6th to go back and hold the wedding.

Because of Mrs. Yuan, Yuan Bingbing did not invite Xia Chan to the wedding, and Xia Chan would not attend the wedding either, but she still prepared wedding gifts. Both the Yuan and Zhou families were well-off, and they did not need ordinary things, but they were not short of general things.

Xia Chan bought two thick lambskin quilts for Yuan Bingbing, two zippered quilt covers, and two sheets. The colors are common in that era, but the quality is better. They don't look too outstanding and won't arouse other people's suspicion.

Two cassia seed pillows, matched with two red pillowcases. In this era, pillowcases are used, but pillowcases are easy to slip off, so pillowcases are better and easier to disassemble and wash.

In addition, ten sets of underwear were prepared for Yuan Bingbing, a complete set with the same color for the top and bottom, and two sets of cool summer pajamas, which were just right for the newlyweds.

Although these things are not heavy, they take up a lot of space. Xia Chan said that she exchanged them one by one with others, and Yuan Bingbing and the others would not doubt it. When she placed the order, she directly ordered a lot of them. After all, her brothers would need them when they got married, and she would also need them when she got married in the future, so she prepared a few more.

After sending Yuan Bingbing and Zhou Ji to the bus station, Xia Chan handed them two bulging bags. "Sister Bingbing, Zhou Ji, I wish you a happy wedding. These are the gifts I prepared for you. I hope you like them."

"Xiao Chan, thank you." Yuan Bingbing said with emotion.

After the two men carried their things into the car, Xia Chan drove the tractor back. When she passed by the supply and marketing cooperative, she went there to buy some pig offal and bones. No vegetables grew in this season, so only wild vegetables were available. Her brothers had things to do, so she couldn't let them eat wild vegetables all the time. She had to buy some good ones occasionally to make things look good.

Just like she only bought pig offal and bones now, but when she gets home she can add ten pounds of meat, a few pig heads, and a few vegetables to it, anyway, just let her brothers think she bought it. "Xiao Chan, we agreed to go into the mountains when we are not busy, do you want to go?" Zhou Qizhi came over to help deal with it and asked.

"Yes, of course. Now Fan Qingmei can drive a tractor, so I can take a few days off." Xia Chan nodded excitedly. She really wanted to go treasure hunting.

"It will take ten days to go back and forth, so I need to take at least fifteen days off." Zhou Qizhi calculated the time and said.

"It's okay. We have enough food at home. It's okay even if we don't go to work for a month." Xia Chan smiled generously. With her around, how could she let her brothers go hungry?

Definitely not!
The money and tickets are all put in the drawer. Everyone can eat whatever they want and buy whatever they want. It’s so free.

On May 10th, Xia Chan and Zhou Qizhi went into the mountains with some necessary things. Xia Chan also brought a shovel, mainly for digging small wild fruit seedlings and ginseng. She was most looking forward to the two ginseng trees, and she wanted to experience the feeling of digging ginseng herself.

After planting, cassava does not need to be taken care of as meticulously as other crops, so it is okay for Xia Chan not to check on it for fifteen days. Moreover, Fan Qingmei can drive a tractor, but she just can't repair it. So Xia Chan told the team leader that she would not be in the team for the next fifteen days. It was originally a sinecure for her, so she did not need to ask for leave.

As for Zhou Qizhi, the reason he asked for leave was that he had something to do in the provincial capital. After all, his biological parents were in the provincial capital. This ambiguous statement also made everyone think that he was going back to see his family.

We didn’t encounter anything during the first two days after entering the mountains. After all, this place is not very far away, and any good things had been found by the people in the team. The further we went in, the farther we were from the production team, and there was not even a road to walk on.

However, starting from the third day, the summer cicadas saw all kinds of wild vegetables, but they had no time to pick them because they were busy on the road. They only picked a handful of wild vegetables and stir-fried them when cooking to change their appetite.

Walking further inside, you can see the things that Zhou Qizhi marked on the route map, apple trees, pear trees, persimmon trees... This place is too far away from the production team and no one comes here, so the fruits on these trees can be said to be all wasted.

There are indeed small fruit seedlings nearby, but the summer cicadas did not dig them up now, but left them for when they return. After all, if they are dug out too long ago, they may not survive when they are planted back. If they are dug up when they return, there will only be a few days left, and the probability of survival is still very high.

After all, in the 21st century, many people buy fruit seedlings online. It takes several days for the courier to arrive. If those fruit seedlings can survive, theirs can naturally survive as well.

The two of them walked and stopped like this, and finally arrived at the place where two ginseng trees grew. Looking at the emerald green leaves of the ginseng, Xia Chan could confirm that this was ginseng, but he didn't know how old it was.

When Zhou Qizhi took out the shovel and was about to dig, Xia Chan hurriedly reached out and grabbed his arm, "Why don't we not dig now, let them grow for a few more months, and then dig them after the autumn harvest. By then we can also collect some ginseng seeds, so that we can grow ginseng ourselves."

After hearing what Xia Chan said, Zhou Qizhi withdrew his hand. He was not after the ginseng in the first place. As long as there was ginseng, she would stay with him next time.
