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

Chapter 466

Because she plans to open a homestay in the future, Xia Chan has started planning now. She has also built greenhouses, one for growing vegetables and one for growing flowers. This way, tourists who come to visit can eat fresh vegetables in the snow and enjoy the beautiful flowers.

Xia Chan had also been to a B&B in her previous life, so she naturally knew the problems that existed in B&Bs. With her experience, she wanted to find ways to avoid those problems.

There are four children in junior high school and high school. One of them takes turns to go out with Zhou Qizhi every day, while the rest of the children read and study at home. They can go out with Xia Chan in the morning, but they must study in the afternoon. Although Xia Chan does not have high requirements for everyone, they must try to take the college entrance examination. If they can pass, they will study. If they fail, they will earn money at home or find other ways out.

Yuan Bingbing sometimes doesn't have time to bring the children over to play during the winter vacation, but she often brings the two children over to play during the summer vacation. Although Zhou Junan is two years older than Xia Chi, he studies step by step and has not skipped grades. However, he only started freshman year in high school in the fall of this year, while Xia Chi is in sophomore year.

This means that Xia Chi will take the college entrance examination one year earlier than Zhou Junan.

Yuan Bingbing's youngest son Zhou Junxia is ten years old this year and is only in the fourth grade of elementary school. He will be in the fifth grade when school starts. However, Jin Jingjing, Jin Yanyan and Zhou Zhuo are also almost ten years old. They are only a month apart, but they will be in the third grade of junior high school when school starts.

However, because their children are young, they are not bullied at school. They are young, the youngest in the class, a few years younger than their peers. In everyone's eyes, they are just children, and no one dares to cause trouble for them.

Yuan Bingbing really admires Xia Chan so much that she even seeks out experience from her. Xia Chan doesn't have any good experience to offer, she just teaches her children herself in advance!

The knowledge points in elementary school are very simple. She and Zhou Qizhi started teaching Zhou Chi when he was three years old. He absorbed all the knowledge points in the book, and only then was he allowed to skip a grade in his later studies.

If your grades are not good, even if you want to skip a grade, the school will not agree!

"Sister Bingbing, how are you and Zhou Ji? He hasn't accompanied you to the countryside in these years." Xia Chan asked curiously.

Yuan Bingbing smiled and said, "We are pretty good together. It's just like that. After all, we are a middle-aged couple. He is a bit timid and can't do much. I let him take care of the family and pay him a salary every month to prevent him from being schemed against by others when he goes out."

"This is also good. No matter who is in charge of the home and who is outside, isn't it all for the sake of making the family better? Don't we take turns in our family?" Men who cannot accept that the man is the homemaker and the woman is the outsider are both chauvinistic and incompetent. As long as both people are working for the good of the family, either model is fine. There is no need for the man to be the breadwinner and the woman to be the homemaker.

Some men don't have that ability. If they are really asked to be the breadwinner, the whole family will starve.

"Your parents-in-law are quite old now. Do they annoy you?" Some people may be nice at first, but as they get older they will gradually become more and more strange and outrageous.

Zhou Ji is almost 40 years old this year, so his parents are at least 60 years old and have retired at home a long time ago.

"I hired a nanny to take care of them over there. I asked the nanny to report the situation over there to me every day. I also told them that as long as they don't make trouble and behave well, I promise to make their old age happy. But if they make trouble, try to sow discord between husband and wife, parent and child, and provoke Zhou Ji to cheat me of my money, I will kick Zhou Ji out of the house, and I will make their old age unhappy. I made my attitude clear and let them know that I am not someone who can be easily bullied. So now they are better off, and so am I." Yuan Bingbing has so much money in her hands now, and she is not afraid of anything.

Xia Chan nodded. "It's better to be open about things. Some parents-in-law always encourage their sons to teach their daughters-in-law a lesson behind their daughters-in-law's backs. They are very happy when they see their sons and daughters-in-law quarreling with each other, as if they feel a sense of accomplishment in raising an obedient son. They interfere so much and turn their sons into useless people. They don't even think about what will happen to their sons when they die. I think such parents are really selfish and don't care about their sons' future at all."

Yuan Bingbing agrees very much. Life is really a very complicated process, and getting along with people is also a science.

If you don't know how to deal with it, you will just be bullied.

Zhou Ji's parents never come to see Zhou Qizhi, and Zhou Qizhi never comes to see them, and they have been like this without disturbing each other for all these years.

As the two were chatting, they suddenly talked about the educated youth who used to live in the educated youth site. Xia Chan had completely lost contact with Lin Yue and Liu Li and had no idea about their current situation.

As for the seven educated youths who were in the group of Jin Xiuchen who once tried to trick Xia Chan, no one knows what has happened to them now. Some people regard this story as a black history in their lives and would not think about it if possible. Moreover, it has been almost thirteen years, and except for the educated youth who stayed behind for their families and children, the rest have long lost contact with the village.

Both of them were completely unaware of the matter, so they didn't talk about it any further.

After the educated youth returned, the dormitory became a place for the villagers to store their belongings. The conditions in their village were good, and every household had a house to live in, so no one needed to live in the small house here.

Xia Chan gave his house to Yuan Bingbing and her two sons to live in, and their family of four went to live near the fish pond. During the few days that Yuan Bingbing and her two sons were there, Xia Chan took them to the creek to fish, to the fields to catch crayfish and eels, and took them to experience the temporary projects available in the countryside.

As for the hot springs, they will be available this winter. If they are free, they can come and soak in the hot springs.

School started after the summer vacation. Zhou Chi was in the second year of high school, Jin Jingjing, Jin Yanyan, and Zhou Zhuo were in the third year of junior high school, Jin Miaomiao was in the fifth grade, Jin Shishi was in the fourth grade, Xia Xueqing was in the second grade, and the newly born Xia Qingbai was a few days away from being full-mooned.

After late autumn, when the first heavy snow fell, Xia Chan's bathhouse began to open to the public. The homestay has not been built yet, but there is no need to rush, we can continue construction next year and just open the bathhouse first.

Everyone brought their children on vacation to various villages to distribute flyers to promote the "Cat Hot Spring" opened by Xia Chan in Yong'an Production Team.

As for why it is called Cat Hot Spring, it is because 80% of the stray cats here cannot survive the winter. She plans to use part of the income from the hot spring to rescue stray cats. Bathing and medical treatment of cats requires money, so she can only take it slow.

And many people like cats. She rescues and raises stray cats well, which can also allow people who like cats but don’t have the time and conditions to keep cats to satisfy their craving for cats. Maybe she can also attract more customers to her hot spring!
After all, cats represent wealth.
