Chapter 411: So Disappointed

When people in the village who knew Zhou Chi learned that Xia Chan and his family had returned with their child, they all came to visit them with small gifts. When they saw Zhou Chi, they all praised him for his good looks.

Everyone knew that Xia Chan and the others were all good-looking, but they didn’t expect their child to be so beautiful. They had never seen such a beautiful child!
Zhou Chi is almost three years old. He can run and talk, and can eat, drink water, and go to the toilet by himself. He doesn't need much supervision anymore. The only thing to do is to keep an eye on him and not let him do anything dangerous.

Children are like this, they cannot leave the sight of adults, let alone three-year-olds, even ten-year-olds are like this.

Everyone asked Xia Chan if she planned to hold a banquet for her child. In fact, it had already been held in Beijing, so there was no need to hold one here. But everyone asked, it would not be good if she didn't hold it again in the countryside. When the child grows up and asks them if they don't value him, how should she explain it?
So Xia Chan told everyone that when they graduate and come back next summer, they will just hold a one-year-old party for both children.

By next summer, the second child will be exactly one year old, and it will be very appropriate to hold a one-year-old birthday party for him.

On the third day after Xia Chan and the others returned, the village began to draw lots to divide the land. The area of ​​the Yong'an Production Team was quite large, so each person could get a little more than one acre of land. There were also lots for children, but not for unborn children. There were both dry land and paddy fields.

The brothers are not here, so Xia Chan drew lots for them. The crops planted in the fields this year still belong to the village collective, but next year everyone will need to plant their own land.

Later, Xia Chan talked to the team leader about buying hills near her home, the swamp, the cave, and her parents' cemetery. Xia Chan directly bought ten nearby hills. The valley in the middle was naturally hers as well, and she would make use of the valley in the future.

Xia Chan didn't want to contract the land because the contract could only last for a few years or even more than ten years, and the price would keep rising. When she stopped contracting, the fruit trees she planted would become someone else's because it would be impossible for her to dig them up and take them away, and it would be even more impossible for her to cut them down because it would destroy the vegetation system on the mountain.

Xia Chan spent 150,000 yuan to buy ten mountaintops. She told others that she borrowed it from the Xiao family. She would pay back 10,000 yuan a year and try to pay it off in 15 years. This made everyone owe a huge debt for her so that when she makes money in the future, everyone will not be jealous of her.

Because no matter how much she earns, she has to exchange it for money first and cannot spend it as she pleases.

Because this money belongs to the village collective, it naturally has to be distributed to everyone. Every household can receive hundreds or thousands of yuan. When each household comes to collect the dividends, they are asked to sign and seal their name to indicate that they know the mountain has been sold to Xia Chan, and they will not be jealous when they see Xia Chan making money in the future.

If you want to make money, you can also buy other hills. There are many hills in Yong'an Production Team!

There are five people in Xia Chan's family, and now they have four household registrations. Jin Pengfei and Su Yu have one household, Xia Bin has one household, Xia Chan and Zhou Qizhi have one household, and Jin Pengyuan and Xiao Tiantian have one household.

As villagers, they naturally also received a share of the dividend. The four households received several thousand yuan!
After obtaining the formalities, these ten hills will belong to Xia Chan. From now on, Xia Chan can plant whatever he wants without worrying about being seen by others.

Xia Chan and Zhou Qizhi had to go back to class, so they settled Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao down. They also gave money to Jiang Dayong as usual, asking him to help look after Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao, as well as the house on the mountain, and then they took their son back to Beijing.

Before going back, Xia Chan also told Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao not to go to the courtyard without permission, and to wait until they graduate next summer to go together. It was really unsafe for the two old people to go there alone, after all, they had to walk in the mountains for many days, and they might encounter large prey during these days. Even if they brought sharp tools, they were no match for large prey, after all, they were two old people.

After returning to Beijing and resting for half a day, Xia Chan went back to school the next day, while Zhou Qizhizi stayed at home reading and studying. Now Zhou Chi could learn some simple knowledge, so Xia Chan asked Zhou Qizhizi to teach Zhou Chi to start learning the first grade knowledge.

Don't learn too much. Just learn a little bit a day, or just a few minutes. Over time, you will slowly understand more.

When they return to their hometown next year, they will have no kindergarten to attend, so they will have to teach themselves. Since they are teaching themselves anyway, it doesn’t matter if they teach them earlier.

At that time, only some units in the city had kindergartens, and there were no private kindergartens, so it was unrealistic for ordinary people to send their children to kindergarten. The most important thing was that many people in the countryside didn’t even know about the existence of kindergartens!
Xia Chan decided to go back next year to study whether he could build a kindergarten by himself and then hire a few teachers to teach the kindergarten children.

She just put this matter on her schedule, and as to whether she would do it or not, she would have to wait and see next year.

As summer approached, the final exams were getting closer. During this period, Xia Chan and Zhou Qizhi became more cautious, for they were afraid that Xia Chan would suddenly give birth. Zhou Qizhi was almost ready to go at any time. He had packed all the things needed for going to the hospital in advance. He was ready and just waiting for Xia Chan to give birth.

Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao are now in the Yong'an Production Team, not in Beijing. Father Xiao and Mother Xiao have not retired yet and have to work, so there is no one who can help Xia Chan and the others this time.

But Xia Bin came over after class. Although he couldn't help much and it was inconvenient for him to help with many things, he could take care of Zhou Chi. Zhou Chi was so old now and didn't need to be fed. He ate like everyone else and was easy to take care of. He didn't need to worry too much.

Xiao Tiantian's daughter is less than one year old, and Su Yu's daughter is just over one year old. Both children need to be taken care of, so they can't help Xia Chan. However, they both have their own nannies who can come over occasionally to see if there are any small matters. They can help with small matters.

A few days after the final exams of my junior year, the summer cicadas broke out. This date was really well-chosen, as I would be promoted to my senior year just in time for the confinement period, without any delay.

Zhou Qizhi sent Xia Chan to the hospital to give birth, and Xia Bin stayed at home with Zhou Chi.

Xia Chan exercises every day and pays close attention to her diet, eating small meals frequently and maintaining a balanced diet. Plus, she had given birth once before and had experience, so this time the birth was pretty quick. She walked from home to the hospital, the doctor examined her, and immediately took her to the delivery room, and then gave birth to the baby a few dozen minutes later.

Hearing the baby crying, Xia Chan couldn't help but ask, "Doctor, what did I give birth to?"

"Comrade, congratulations, you have given birth to a baby boy," said the doctor.

Xia Chan was stunned and immediately disappointed. She chose to have a second child because she wanted a daughter and a little princess, but now she was told that it was another son.
