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

Chapter 373 I Just Want You to Be Happy

Xia Chan and Zhou Qizhi were responsible for making chicken stewed with mushrooms and braised pork offal, Xiao Tiantian and Jin Pengyuan were responsible for making braised rabbit meat and yam stewed with dried spare ribs. Xiao Mimi went to help Xia Bin and naturally teamed up with him. The two of them were responsible for making pickled fish and stir-frying other vegetables.

Everyone had a clear division of labor, but they also cooperated with each other to prepare a sumptuous meal.

The temperature in this place is high, so Grandpa Xiao built a pavilion in the yard. The pavilion allows air to flow in from all sides, so it is very cool. Now the more you look at this small yard, the more it looks like the place where the gods lived in the fairy tale dramas that Xia Chan had watched in the 21st century.

The lush greenery, beautiful scenery and colorful flowers make it feel like a paradise.

It is even more beautiful than where the gods live.

After happily finishing the sumptuous lunch, everyone went back to their rooms for a nap. Zhou Qizhi took Xia Chan to a place not far from the courtyard. Xia Chan asked in confusion, "Zhou Qizhi, why did you bring me here?"

Zhou Qizhi stood on tiptoe and took a bamboo board down from the tree. Looking at the bamboo board hanging there, Xia Chan covered her mouth in surprise, "Swing? Did you make this?"

"Yes, I did it two days ago. I was thinking of bringing you here to play today. You are busy with our future every day, but I just want you to be happy." Zhou Qizhi nodded and said seriously.

Xia Chan collects wild vegetables and fruits every day, but there is only one person in her family, so the consumption of wild vegetables and fruits is really not that great. Zhou Qizhi knows that she wants to make more money from these things and share it with everyone.

Obviously everyone came here for vacation, but she was busier than before.

Xia Chan walked over, held the vines on both sides of the swing, then sat on the swing. She tapped the ground with her toes and began to swing gently. Zhou Qizhi walked behind her and helped her push the swing.

"I have tried this vine in advance. It is very strong and you can sit on it with confidence." He would not let Xia Chan touch anything risky.

After the swing was made, he tested it several times himself and found it to be very safe.

"Zhou Qizhi, thank you for letting me experience the happiness that a childhood should have." In the 21st century, as an older sister, she can only take care of her younger brother and pamper him, and she has no time for herself at all.

But she is different here. She is the youngest and everyone takes good care of her. She can also experience what it feels like to be taken care of.

It’s just that the family conditions were too poor in the past few years, and everyone was very young and ignorant. We couldn’t even fill our stomachs, let alone have a happy childhood.

How many people in this era can have a happy childhood?

When they are young, they work and take care of their younger siblings. When they grow older, they get married and have children. Every step of the way is pushed forward by others. Many people live their lives in a daze, not knowing what they want or what they should do. But there is nothing they can do. After all, the most important thing at this time is to fill their stomachs, and everything else is just insignificant trifles!

Only those who do not have to worry about food and drink have time to think about how to live their lives and how to make their lives more comfortable.

The two of them swung on the swing under the tree for a while and then returned to the yard.

After New Year's Day, Xia Chan and Zhou Qizhi set out again. They didn't have much to do anyway, so they didn't stay home to compete with their family for the few small things they had. They went out to continue wandering around and stocking up on supplies.

Anyway, they just spread out around the courtyard, wanting to see how big the forest was. The two of them even walked back and stood where they came from, looking at the white snow in front of them, and still felt it was magical.

It's really that exaggerated, one side is cold winter, the other side is early summer, one side is white, the other side is lush green.

If Xia Chan hadn't thought of going into the mountains to look for treasure, they wouldn't have discovered such a magical place.

"Next time we come, let's dig up those two ginseng plants. I've already planted quite a lot of ginseng, so I don't need to keep any more. Otherwise, if they're dug up by others, that would be a big loss."

Xia Chan also planted a lot of wild ginseng near the courtyard, and also planted ginseng and wild ginseng near her house, so there would be no shortage of ginseng in the future, so the two plants on the mountain should be dug up. After all, it is only ten days' walk from the production team. If they were discovered by others, they would definitely be dug up directly and not left there forever.

Zhou Qizhi was able to discover the two ginsengs when the winter hunting team entered the mountains. Each winter hunting team would have at least eighty people, and sometimes hundreds of people. Anyway, every family would provide a strong laborer. With so many people, if Zhou Qizhi could find the ginsengs, others might be able to find it too.

Zhou Qizhi nodded, "Okay, then we'll dig it up when the time comes, instead of leaving it there any longer."

There are a lot of wild vegetables here. When turning back, Xia Chan squatted down to dig wild vegetables. Last time, she didn't even look down on the wild vegetables here, but now she found good things in them.

But there has been nothing to do recently and the good things in the summer cicadas have been found almost all. It would be too boring if I didn’t dig wild vegetables, so I could only dig wild vegetables to my heart’s content.

Even if I were to date Zhou Qizhi, we wouldn't be in love all the time. It would still be boring, so I should find other things to do.

Let’s dig wild vegetables together!
The wild vegetables here are green, fresh and delicious. If you can’t finish them, you can sell them on the black market. When the summer cicadas dug wild vegetables, they also dug up a lot of them with roots. They planned to take them back and plant them near their homes. I don’t know if they can survive, but let’s give it a try!
The days passed one by one, and Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao renovated the courtyard better and better, making it feel more and more like home. Seeing such a courtyard, no one would be willing to go back.

It is obvious that the various fruit trees planted by Xia Chan and Zhou Qizhi around the courtyard have survived, but whether they can successfully bear fruit will have to wait a few years to know.

Taro requires a little more water, so Xia Cicada planted taro and wild celery on both sides of the Hot Spring River. It doesn't matter if they don't come to harvest them for a year, because new seedlings will sprout next year anyway. As long as they are not uprooted, they will come back to life in the spring.

Apart from the fact that the fine grains we brought with us were decreasing day by day and would be gone after we ate them, there was no need to worry about anything else. Last year, Xia Chan planted cassava and taro, which could be eaten. The vegetables were both grown by ourselves and wild. As for meat, that was too easy to get. We could just go out hunting.

There are also fish in the hot spring river, so you can eat a different kind of meat every day, and you don’t have to worry about getting tired of it.

A group of eight of them lived here for more than three months and set off to go back in mid-March. Because April was the time for the busy spring plowing season, they walked faster and tried to get back to the production team before mid-April.

Everyone has made this place very beautiful during this period of time, and no one was willing to leave such a wonderful home. But in the end, they still locked the gate and went back with a lot of harvest.

Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao have been taking a hot spring bath three times a day since they came here. Their health is much better than before. They don't need to be carried by the young people on the way back, and they can even keep up with the young people's pace. This fully proves that the hot spring water is indeed good for the body.

Their trip was not in vain.
