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

Chapter 293 Renting a House
Xiao Yunfan had already told her the man's name last night, Tan Shaoru. The name sounds elegant, but the man is a little bit stupid. However, such people have simple thinking and don't have deep scheming.

Xia Chan was very happy, "Thank you, Comrade Tan. When Xiao Yunfan is discharged from the hospital, we will treat you to a meal."

After breakfast, Tan Shaoru took Xia Chan to see a house. It was in an alley behind the hospital, which was indeed very close. The landlord’s house was not small and had many rooms, but several of the rooms were locked and not rented out. The landlord said that there were family belongings in them and he was afraid that they would be damaged by others.

So Tan Shaoru made the decision for Xia Chan and rented the place for a whole month.

Anyway, Xia Chan just needs a place to hide, and she would be satisfied even if she could only get a kitchen. Now, except for the locked room, the rest of the rooms can be used. There is firewood in the kitchen and a well in the yard, so she naturally has no objection.

"Comrade Tan, thank you for your help." Xia Chan gave Tan Shaoru all the money and bills he had spent in the past few days. Xiao Yunfan had put a sum of money and bills in her hands before, so she could naturally afford to pay him this amount. It would not be good to keep owing him the money.

Tan Shaoru smiled shyly.

"Comrade Tan, please take care of Xiao Yunfan. I will go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some ingredients and cook for Xiao Yunfan at noon. You don't have to cook for him anymore." Xia Chan said.

"The supply and marketing cooperative, the butcher shop and the hospital are all in a row and are easy to find," Tan Shaoru reminded.

Xia Chan nodded, "Thank you, Comrade Tan."

After that, Xia Chan locked the door and went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things. She didn't really want to buy anything, she just went there to pretend. Anyway, she had everything, and according to the routine, there would usually be a black market near the hospital. She also wanted to take advantage of this time to exchange valuable things in the black market here.

After all, she had exchanged almost all the valuable items in the two black markets in her hometown, and she wouldn’t be able to exchange for anything good anymore.

When passing by the butcher shop, Xia Chan saw some bones and pig's trotters there, so he bought all of them. Then he walked to a deserted place and put them directly into the space. It was summer and the temperature was high, so if they were left outside for too long, they would easily go bad.

When she arrived at the post office, Xia Chan really wanted to write a letter to her brothers, but she gave up when she thought that she would be going home soon and her brothers probably wouldn't have received the letter by the time she got home.

I planned to wait until the evening when my brothers were about to get off work and then call the team to let them know I was safe and that they didn't need to worry about me.

This place is a little further south than their hometown, so the temperature here is higher. After walking outside for a while, Xia Chan felt very hot all over, so he went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a hat and a large wooden tub for bathing, and then hurried back to the rented house.

I first went to the landlord's kitchen and boiled a pot of hot water to make the chimney smoke. Then I slipped into the hotel suite, took a comfortable shower, and went to the kitchen to cook. I stewed yam and pork ribs soup in the rice cooker, cooked rice in the rice cooker, and then made scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried cabbage with mushrooms, and cold-mixed black fungus.

Three dishes and one soup were enough for the three of them.

When lunch was ready, Xia Chan put all these things directly into a large bowl, then took the basket to the hospital ward and asked Tan Shaoru to eat with him.

Looking at the delicious food, Tan Shaoru felt a little embarrassed, "Is there still a portion for me?"

"Thank you for taking care of Xiao Yunfan during this period. You should eat something good to replenish your body. Isn't it normal for me to let you eat with us?" Xia Chan said with a smile.

After dinner, when Tan Shaoru left, Xia Chan whispered, "Xiao Yunfan, I'm here now. Should we let Tan Shaoru go back to work? It would be a waste of time for him to stay here. Besides, you will be discharged from the hospital and go home to recuperate soon. I can't take care of you for a few days, and it won't tire me out." Xiao Yunfan hugged Xia Chan and said pitifully, "Xiao Chan, I don't want to go home."

"Why?" Xia Chan looked at him in confusion.

"Because I won't be able to see you if I go home. I heard from Tan Shaoru that the rented house is quite big, and he rented it for a month. Why don't I move in directly after I am discharged from the hospital? I will go back after I have healed my injuries, is that okay? You don't need to do anything, I will do it, and I can do it well." Xiao Yunfan put his chin on Xia Chan's shoulder and spoke into her ear.

The warm breath made Xia Chan's ears feel itchy and his heart felt numb.

Thinking that he would not be very busy when he returned, and that he could collect more old items by staying here for a few more days, Xia Chan agreed.

Xiao Yunfan was very happy, "Xiao Chan, thank you."

Xia Chan knew the time when the work team would get off work and that her brothers would be getting off work soon, so she went to the post office to call the production team. When her brothers heard that Xia Chan was calling, they all rushed into the team headquarters, scrambling to answer Xia Chan's call.

Knowing that Xia Chan would not return for more than twenty days, they told her to take good care of herself and be safe. Whenever her brothers were free, they would go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables and pick mushrooms because she liked to stock up things at home.

If her brothers stock up more, she will worry less.

Xiao Yunfan stayed in the hospital for another three days. The doctor examined Xiao Yunfan and found that there was nothing wrong with his body. All he needed to do next was to replenish his nutrition and have a good rest. So Xiao Yunfan went through the discharge procedures and moved into the house rented by Xia Chan.

On the second day after being discharged from the hospital, Xia Chan invited Tan Shaoru to dinner. She went out to buy some dishes, then took out some dishes from the space, and worked with Tan Shaoru to cook a sumptuous meal to thank Tan Shaoru for taking care of Xiao Yunfan during this period.

After Tan Shaoru went back to work, only Xia Chan and Xiao Yunfan were left here. In the next few days, the two of them would have to live together day and night, which made Xia Chan feel embarrassed.

However, Xiao Yunfan was a gentleman and did not do anything else to her.

That morning, Xia Chan was going to the black market to trade, so she told Xiao Yunfan that she had to go out to queue up to buy meat, so she went out early. In the past few days, she had already figured out where the black market was, and also met up with the black market boss. She told him what she needed and asked them to prepare it in advance.

As soon as Xia Chan went out, she found a place to enter the hotel suite, dressed herself up as a man, and then went to do business with the black market boss.

Today she sold 50 thermos cups and watches, 50 pairs of shoes that cost 20 to 30 yuan a pair, and 1,000 kilograms of watermelons. Prices here are a little higher, so she can sell things at a higher price.

A watch that costs fifty dollars can be sold for one hundred and twenty dollars here.

So these things were sold for a total of 10,100 yuan.

Xia Chan asked for 5,000 yuan in cash and 6,000 yuan in old items. The tickets here would be useless when she returned, so she did not exchange them.

After the people from the black market left with the things, Xia Chan put several large boxes of old items directly into the space. These old items were of good quality and she was very satisfied with them. She decided to come back and exchange them a few more times during this period.
