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

Chapter 420: There are more things to recall when you are old

Xia Chan didn't expect that this family would send a divorce certificate the next day. Since they didn't get a marriage certificate at the beginning, they asked the village to issue a certificate proving their divorce. The family was smart enough to change the date to a few days ago. It seemed that they were really afraid that Xia Chan would take their house and land!

After that, Xia Chan stopped worrying about other people's affairs because she was busy with her own affairs. She hurriedly rode her bicycle to the grape vines to check on their condition. Fortunately, there were still some grapes and they were not all eaten by the birds. After Xia Chan picked the grapes, she weeded the vines and trimmed the messy vines.

This side is near the cave, and she even went inside to take a look. The cave was surprisingly intact, and the old items that were placed inside were still there.

The summer cicada circled around the cave, but had not yet figured out how to use it. It seemed that it would have to plant grapes for the time being next year.

The grapes we planted before grew so well, which shows that this place is quite suitable for growing grapes. There are not many varieties of fruits here, so growing grapes can definitely make money.

As for the swamp, Xia Chan plans to ask someone to clear out all the silt in the swamp, so that the water inside will be deeper and suitable for raising fish.

With such a large area, you can make a lot of money by raising fish.

You can also enclose the area with fences and raise chickens, ducks and geese. Ducks and geese are water-loving poultry, so it is a perfect place to raise them.

People in their hometown like to eat goose stewed in an iron pot, so raising geese will definitely not be a loss.

It is this season now, and we will soon enter autumn and then winter, so we will not raise it this year. We will do the preliminary preparations this year, and then we can officially start the work in the spring next year.

If we set up a farm here, we have to live here. Otherwise, it would be tiring to run so far every day, so we have to build a new house here.

When building a house now, you must build it according to your own preferences. It can’t just be built for people to live in like before. After all, you will be living in it for many years.

She plans to build a big house here, like a courtyard house, with many rooms. After ten years or so, she will run a homestay, so that she can earn some money.

Xia Chan took a walk here and then rode her bike back. It would take a lot of time to rely on her own legs. After all, it takes almost a day to walk to the cave. When she has time in the future, she can pave a path here, which will save her a lot of time when going to different places.

As soon as Xia Chan walked into the yard, Zhou Chi, who was over three years old, ran over and hugged Xia Chan's legs. He looked up at Xia Chan and asked, "Mom, where did you go? Why didn't you take me with you?"

Xia Chan reached out and touched her eldest son's hair, then said with a smile, "Mom is out looking for mushrooms. I found mushrooms in many places. I'll take you to pick mushrooms tomorrow."

Xia Chan thought that Zhou Chi was raised by Zhou Qizhi and only had Zhou Qizhi in his heart, but she didn't expect that he also cared about her!
Zhou Chi looked at Xia Chan innocently, "Okay, I want to go mushroom picking with my mom."

After lying down at night, Zhou Qizhi asked curiously, "Xiao Chan, do you have a plan in mind?"

Xia Chan turned to face Zhou Qizhi, "Remember the swamp? I plan to dig up the silt from the swamp and use it to raise fish. I'll build a large yard around it to raise chickens, ducks, and geese. I'll raise a hundred of each. Actually, I'd like to raise sheep, but sheep are too smelly and it's troublesome to handle them."

Anyway, she remembered that a roasted whole lamb cost several thousand yuan in her previous life, so the price of a lamb should be quite expensive. However, she was not very good at handling lambs, so she decided not to raise lambs for the time being. She would consider raising lambs when the price really went up. For now, she could just raise some simple lambs, such as chickens, ducks, and geese, and feed them directly, and fish could just be fed with grass and vegetables.

"I also plan to plant persimmons, grapes, wild blueberries, cassava, konjac, and taro on one hill first, and then I'll think about the remaining four hills slowly. Anyway, they're all mine, so I don't have to keep myself so busy." Xia Chan said.

Now that she calculated, she suddenly felt that she had bought too little. However, these were the only things close to her home. If she bought more, they would be too far away. It would also be inconvenient to buy things in the village. If something was stolen, she would not be able to discover it in the first time.

"That swamp is quite deep, about one and a half to two meters deep in the middle. It's still suitable for raising fish. The villagers are not very busy now, so I will ask someone to take care of these things tomorrow," said Zhou Qizhi.

Xia Chan smiled and thought that fish could definitely be raised in the swamp. She didn't know how many fish she had caught from the swamp at first. There were so many fish even without anyone paying attention. If the swamp was managed well, the yield would definitely be higher.

"We also need to build a big house on the open space next to it. It would be best if it was as big as the bamboo house in the small courtyard, with more rooms. The sleeping rooms would all have kangs. It will definitely be used reasonably in the future." Xia Chan smiled mysteriously. When she talked about B&Bs now, Zhou Qizhiz didn't know what B&Bs were. She could just tell him when there were B&Bs in the future.

Anyway, everything she does now is to make plans for the future.

"How about we half build the house and the other half dig the fish pond? We can do both at the same time and finish both at the same time."

Xia Chan smiled and said, "This is the property of our four households. I just give orders and you men just need to act. I won't worry about these things."

The money earned should be divided equally among the four households, so naturally the money should be paid equally among the four households, and the work should be shared by the four households. Now Jin Pengfei is still in Beijing taking care of the children and cannot come back, so his family does not have to bear the responsibility and just needs to pay the money.

Even if Xia Chan's annual income is only four thousand yuan, it wouldn't be bad if each family shared one thousand yuan, but she would not allow herself to earn just that little.

Before, even though we didn’t have the conditions, we were able to get several thousand dollars. Now that we have the conditions, can it be worse than before?

"I want to eat crayfish. How about we go catch some crayfish together tomorrow night!" Xia Chan suggested. Now is still the end of summer and we can still catch some crayfish.

It will be autumn next month, and I don’t know if there will be crayfish by then.

Zhou Qizhi pinched Xia Chan's nose and said, "Didn't we collect a lot of crayfish in Beijing City during the summer vacation in recent years? I haven't seen you eat them many times. Did you eat them all?"

"I just want to go catch them with you. Others can only eat them, but that's not fun." Xia Chan nuzzled Zhou Qizhi's chest. "Let's do more. When we get old, we'll have more things to recall. Don't you think so?"

"Do more things? Okay, then let's do more memorable things now." Zhou Qizhi turned over and clasped Xia Chan's hands on his head...

The next morning, after the family of four finished breakfast, Xia Chan took Zhou Chi to pick mushrooms near their home, while Zhou Qizhi carried Zhou Zhuo down the mountain to the village to hire people to do the work.

Zhou Zhuo was just over one year and one month old and could hardly walk yet. It was impossible to leave a small child alone at home, so Zhou Qizhi carried him down the mountain.
