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

Chapter 57 Help our family pay off their debts
Lin Yue also said to Tian Rui and Qian Zhaodi, "You should also go and do statistics. Just go directly with them later."

Liu Li knew that Tian Rui must go, so he asked Gao Bowen to take everyone to Wang Carpenter's house. After everyone left, Gao Bowen went up the mountain from behind the educated youth point to collect firewood.

The Yongan Production Team is not surrounded by mountains on all sides, but at least on three sides. You can also go up the mountain from behind the Educated Youth Point, and there are dozens of large and small mountains. However, the mountains are far away and it takes many days to walk. Come, usually everyone doesn’t have the time to go to the mountains.

Xia Chan had no idea about the grievances and resentments in the educated youth spot. In a blink of an eye, it was December 5th, the day when the market reopened. Moreover, the weather seemed to have completely cooled down overnight, and the temperature was already as low as It's about ten degrees below zero.

The kangs in every household had already been set on fire.

Everyone put on the thick cotton clothes that Xia Chan brought back, but on the outside they wore tattered autumn clothes. As long as no one took off their clothes, no one would notice that they were wearing so well underneath.

In order to save firewood, Jin Pengfei and Jin Pengyuan also moved in with their quilts, huddled together with Xia Bin and Xia Qi, while Xia Chan still lived at the end of the kang, using a curtain to circle a small world of her own. .

In the past, when Xia Chan's mother was here, she would call Jin Pengfei and Jin Pengyuan over when it was particularly cold in winter. Everyone was used to it. Although Xia Chan was a little uncomfortable, she didn't say anything.

It wasn't because the winter here was too cold, she couldn't bear to let her two brothers suffer, and in her heart, the two of them were the same as her brothers, and they didn't have those messy things.

Once the kang is burning, the cooking is done not in the big kitchen, but in the main room, because the kang head is connected to the stove, so that the kang can be burned while cooking, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Afraid of freezing his only two hens, Xia Bin also kept the hens in the main room in a frame made of bamboo. The frame was made like a baby crib, rectangular and quite nice to look at.

And there is a board underneath, covered with straw ash, which is used to catch excrement. It can also be used as fertilizer when collected! The brothers deal with it in time every day, so there is no peculiar smell in the house at all.

Moreover, Xia Chan secretly lit some aromatherapy under the table. There was a light fragrance in the room every day, and it smelled very good. Xia Chan changed the aromatherapy every now and then, but there was a constant smell in the house.

The green leafy vegetables planted in the five wooden pots at home are also growing lushly. Xia Chan will spray water on them every morning when she gets up. Because of the high temperature and dryness of the barbecue at home, they need to be watered frequently.

This morning, she had to go to the market, so Xia Chan got up early. As soon as she opened the door curtain and went out, she shivered from the cold. The next second she turned around and went in again, "Today seems to be colder than yesterday."

"Then don't go. We don't lack anything at home, so why not go out and suffer this?" Xia Qi said with a smile.

"I haven't been to the market for many years, and now it's finally reopened. I'm definitely going to join in the fun!" Xia Chan felt like she was becoming more and more like a child, even wanting to join in the fun.

In her previous life, she was a housewife who didn't even want to go out. She would only go out when she was at work or when she was at home. Xia Chan put on gloves, a hat, a scarf, and a large backpack and went out. It hadn't snowed yet, but the mud on the road was frozen hard. Fortunately, her shoes were thick enough, otherwise they would hurt her feet.

Although it was very cold, she started to warm up as she walked. Xia Chan felt like she was sweating. She loosened her scarf slightly to make her breathing easier.

Seeing Qin Hongmei, Jiang Yue, and Jiang Yang standing at the foot of the mountain waiting for her, Xia Chan ran over quickly, took out three hot eggs from her arms, and stuffed them into them, "Eat quickly, it will get cold soon." It’s fishy.”

"Xiaochan, it cost you money." Qin Hongmei said embarrassedly.

"Aunt Qin, we are family and we should not have different opinions. My mother is gone and my in-laws don't want us anymore. When my brother gets married and I get married, won't I still have to rely on Aunt Qin for many things? What's more, I don't have anything good to give Aunt Qin, so Aunt Qin, just accept it generously. If it is a precious thing, we can't give it to you, don't you think so?" Xia Chan smiled and took Qin Hongmei's arm, "Xiaoyue, Xiaoyang, you must follow closely! Today is the first day of the resumption of the big market, there must be a lot of people, don't let strangers pull you away, understand?"

"Sister Xiaochan, I will hold my brother close throughout the whole process." Jiang Yue said while peeling the eggs.

"Xia Chan, how much do you plan to buy with such a big backpack? Your family owes so much debt, and you don't want to pay off the money first, but you still want to buy things." An aunt said from behind.

"My family owes money, but my family is also short of things. I must take care of my family's life first before I can pay off the debt slowly!" The reason why Xia Chan paid attention to her was to let everyone know that her family owed a lot. The debt has not been repaid, so no one will disturb their family. "Otherwise, if we die, no one will be able to pay off the debt. Since my aunt cares about our family so much, why don't she help our family pay off the debt? Our family doesn't owe much." , it’s only four hundred yuan. I believe my aunt’s family is so rich that they can help our family pay off our debts, right?”

Due to my mother's illness, treatment and death, and Xia Chan's illness, I really owed a lot of debt this year. However, when I borrowed the money, I made an agreement with my uncles and aunts to pay it back slowly, and they agreed, so I can only follow the I promised to pay it back slowly!
If the money is paid off all at once, won't it make others doubt the speed at which their family makes money?

Even hard-working people can only earn tens or hundreds of dollars in the village throughout the year. Xia Chan's family only received two hundred dollars this year because of the large labor force. By the time they pay off part of their debt before the New Year, there will be little left.

But they always have some money left to show off!

Otherwise, how should we spend the rest of our days?
The aunt just wanted to ruin Xia Chan's reputation again, but she almost got angry and said hurriedly, "I'm not familiar with your family, why should I help your family pay off their debts?"

"You also know that you are not familiar with our family, so why are you talking about our family's affairs? I thought you liked our family very much? Since you don't like our family, don't talk about it again in the future, or I will ask Director Qi to come and invite you. The Public Security Bureau drank tea and said that your family had forgotten the leadership's teachings and started making trouble again," Xia Chan snorted.

When the aunt heard this, she ran away quickly. She still remembered the last time the three leaders came to the door.
