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

Chapter 380: A Mother's Lifelong Hardships
Yuan Bingbing ate a few bites and couldn't help but widen her eyes, "Xiao Chan, your husband's cooking is better than yours now!"

When she was working in the countryside here before, Yuan Bingbing often came to eat here, and she had eaten the food cooked by Zhou Qizhizi several times, but this time the food cooked by Zhou Qizhizi was obviously better.

Xia Chan smiled faintly and didn't explain too much. She didn't know why the dishes cooked with hot spring water tasted better. Was it really because it contained medicinal ingredients?

When Zhou Qizhi heard the words "your husband", a sense of pride rose in his heart. Yes, he was Xia Chan's husband now, he belonged to Xia Chan.

He is no longer the Zhou Qizhi who had nothing and no place to belong.

After dinner, Xia Chan and Yuan Bingbing went over together to boil water for the child to take a bath. The child sat in the wooden tub, looking chubby and white. It was obvious that the child was brought up in great pampering at home.

A little boy in the country, no matter how pampered he is, can never grow up so well, because he simply does not have the conditions. Now everyone gets an extra dividend from raising rabbits every year, and the conditions are much better than before, but they still cannot reach this level.

The child sat in the water, slapping the water happily with his hands, splashing large pieces of water. Xia Chan and Yuan Bingbing looked at each other helplessly and couldn't help laughing.

I thought he was cute and well-behaved before, but now he is naughty, right? They are all children, how can they not be naughty? At most, some children don't cry and make a fuss!
After giving the child a bath and taking care of him until he fell asleep, Xia Chan went home. When she went home, she also told Yuan Bingbing to come to her if she had any problems at night.

Xia Chan packed up and lay down. When Zhou Qizhi came over, she leaned into his arms and said, "Zhou Qizhi, do you like boys or girls? If I give birth to a girl, will you force me to give birth to a boy?"

"I don't have any such thoughts. I like both boys and girls." Zhou Qizhi said seriously, "So don't think too much. We will just have this one child and raise him well. Other families have so many children but none of them are good. What's the point? We can raise our child well, which is better than having ten children."

There is a saying that goes, "Too many children brings a mother a lifetime of suffering." Whether it is a boy or a girl, having one is enough. Having more than one will only make the parents suffer.

Raising a child is not like raising a cat or a puppy. You can't just give them a bowl of food and let them grow freely. Children need to be nurtured and educated, and this road is very difficult.

"I don't have any requirements. It doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl. On the contrary, I prefer girls because I can dress them up and let them grow up in pampering." Xia Chan said with a smile.

I hope she can get what she wants!

When a son grows up and gets married, he will listen to his wife and become alienated from his parents. But it is different for a daughter. She is her parents' little cotton-padded jacket and can understand and sympathize with her parents.

If she had a daughter, she would definitely educate her well, let her learn the talents she likes, and let her freely decide her own life.

Unlike before, she was just a tool in her parents' eyes who sacrificed everything for her younger brother. If she hadn't been well prepared, she wouldn't even have that little savings left.

The couple chatted for a while and then went to sleep.

The next day, Xia Chan took Yuan Bingbing for a walk around the house. It was not convenient to walk far with a child, so they just walked around the area and took the child to see the pigs and chickens.

When the family went to catch the mission pigs, Xia Chan and the others were not at home, but Jin Pengfei caught the pigs for their family, two for Xia Chan's family, two for Xiao Tiantian's family, and two for Jin Pengfei himself.

When Jin Pengfei went there to catch the task pigs, he met Lin Yue, who greeted him. Jin Pengfei was not familiar with her, and she was married, so he just nodded and didn't say much. And because of the bad behavior of those educated youth in the team, he didn't have a good impression of them and didn't want to have too much contact with them.

I didn't take Yuan Bingbing to see where Xia Chan grows vegetables. These things cannot be known to others for the time being. After this year is over, it won't matter if everyone knows about it.

There are more mushrooms and wild vegetables at this time, and Xia Chan accompanies the children to pick mushrooms. The children live in the city and have never done such a thing, so they find it very interesting and have a lot of fun.

The inedible mushrooms and summer cicadas were processed in advance because we were afraid that the children would accidentally touch them and then touch their mouths and eyes.

Children are the focus of a family.

"Auntie will make you mushroom soup at noon, okay?" Xia Chan held a mushroom and shook it in front of the child.

Spend more time with children now, and you will have some experience by then.

"Okay, I want to drink mushroom soup." The child stood up and waved his chubby hands excitedly.

Yuan Bingbing smiled and said, "He is quite cooperative with you. If it were someone else, he wouldn't be so supportive."

"That's because he knows I'm one of his own. Don't underestimate the child, he's very smart! He knows how to distinguish people." Seeing the child putting mushrooms into the basket, Xia Chan smiled and clapped, "The child is great. Let's pick more mushrooms and bring them back to make soup for your father, okay?"

After accompanying the child to pick enough mushrooms for lunch, the two of them took the child home. Xia Chan gave the child a lollipop and asked him to sit on a chair and eat it slowly while she went to wash the mushrooms. There were not many mushrooms today, so they would not dry them and save them for eating fresh.

Xia Chan was not at the stage where she could not do anything, so sometimes she did not wait for Zhou Qizhi to come back to cook. Usually, there were three people eating in her family, and it was easy to cook for three people. She only needed to stir-fry two dishes, which was not troublesome at all.

Today, there are two more people, Yuan Bingbing and the little one. It is not difficult to cook, and there is no need to wait for Zhou Qizhi to come back. After all, working is hard, and it takes such a long time to walk back and forth!
That day, when Xia Chan and Yuan Bingbing were playing with the children in the yard, there was a knock on the door. Xia Chan hurried over to open it.

Seeing Xiao Mimi standing outside with a large package, Xia Chan quickly reached out and took one, "Mimi, why did you bring it up yourself? When Xia Bin and the others pass by the door, you can ask them to bring it up!"

"I'm just bored and have nothing to do, so I thought I'd come up and play!" Xiao Mimi smiled brightly.

"It's very tiring to carry two packages by one person!" Xia Chan hurriedly carried the packages in her hands and went into the house with Xiao Mimi.

Xiao Mimi put the package in her hand on the table and said, "This one is sent to you by your family, and the one in your hand is sent to you by your fourth uncle. It should be sent back by your fourth uncle from his workplace."

Xia Chan nodded, then put both packages into the wooden box and waited until night to open it to see what her family had sent her.

Both packages are quite large, so they probably contain a lot of stuff.

Xiao Mimi drank a glass of water, rested for a while, and whispered, "Now I feel that I have nothing to do after coming back, which is really boring! When I feel bored in the courtyard, I go to the hot springs, how comfortable it is!"
