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

Chapter 58 No reward for no merit

The leader said that if he didn't want to go to a labor camp, he would just stay at home and be an honest man in the village.

How could she forget about this in that moment?

In fact, when they heard that the aunt was being mean to Xia Chan, many people wanted to make Xia Chan worse in front of so many unmarried young men in the village. However, because of Xia Chan's words, they thought of the three people who came to the door before. The leaders immediately ran away like quails.

But in the end, all the unmarried girls and daughters-in-law in the village are afraid of Xia Chan and his family. After all, no one wants to bear so much debt as soon as they get married!
If Xia Chan could hear their voices, she would definitely laugh like crazy in her heart.

Thank you for your kindness in not marrying or getting married.

You are not worthy of anyone in our family!

I don’t want to lead any of you to have a good life either!

There were no pesky flies around, and the journey was easier after that.

The educated youths also followed the large troops to catch the big fair. Liu Li always kept a very close distance to Xia Chan. If Xia Chan could turn around, she would probably be able to see Liu Li.

When Liu Li heard what Xia Chan said, he felt even more sorry for Xia Chan. He didn't expect her family to be so difficult, but looking at her being so strong and not caring, Liu Li felt relieved.

It is precisely because of her strong psychological quality that she was not defeated by such difficulties, otherwise everyone would not be able to see such a heroic Xia Chan.

Gao Bowen poked Liu Li's arm and whispered, "Wait a minute, what are you going to buy?"

"Let's see if we can buy meat. Pheasants, hares, fish, whatever. There must be someone with good skills who can catch the prey." Liu Li said thoughtfully as he looked ahead.

He didn't have much money, but he could afford the tooth ceremony.

Gao Bowen thought about it and nodded, "We live and eat together anyway, so you decide on the purchase, and we can split the cost between us."

"Otherwise, you think I will support you?" Liu Li rolled his eyes at Gao Bowen, then pushed him away with his elbow, then walked forward quickly, and soon walked in front of Xia Chan, thinking If he walks in front, Xia Chan can see him.

But I don't want to think that Xia Chan is not familiar with everyone, and everyone is covering her up tightly today. People who are not from this village may not be able to recognize her.

Gao Bowen caught up with Liu Li, looked back cautiously, and met a pair of big black eyes, which were watery and clear, as if they could talk. Gao Bowen couldn't believe that there was such a thing in such a countryside. An absolutely beautiful woman.

That Wang Zhisen is indeed blind. He probably only likes people who can cry and pretend to be weak, not people who are strong and independent and can support themselves.

A group of people soon arrived at the market. Seeing the crowd in front of them, everyone was shocked. It turned out that so many people came to the market after getting the news, so the people setting up stalls must have made a lot of money today.

"Aunt Qin, you hold Xiaoyang's hand, and I hold Xiaoyue's hand. There are too many people today. We can't take risks. We must keep our two children safe." This situation made Xia Chan feel a little nervous.

There are too many people, and the child will definitely be knocked away by then, so he must be held tightly.

Qin Hongmei also hurriedly took Xiaoyang's hand and said to Xiaoyue, "Xiaoyue, you must listen to Sister Xiaochan and don't run around, okay? Otherwise, if you get lost, we may not be able to find you." She had wanted to bring them out to see the world, but she didn't expect there to be so many people here. It was really a mistake.

Next, neither of them dared to take it lightly.

There are various stalls on both sides of the market, and in the middle is an aisle two or three meters wide for everyone to walk and select goods. However, it is crowded and chaotic at this time, so you really can't walk around.

Xia Chan waited for the people in front of her to leave, then she took Jiang Yue and started shopping from the first stall. They really sold everything, such as sweet potatoes, radishes, cabbage, bamboo baskets... these things were not available in the countryside. No, it should be put up for people in the city to buy, and it only takes less than ten minutes to get to the town. Many people from the town come to buy things.

"Uncle, what are you selling here?" Xia Chan asked curiously when she saw an uncle covering the bucket with old clothes.

The uncle took off his old clothes and revealed the bird cage inside. There were two turtle doves jumping around inside, and they looked quite active.

"Uncle, how much do these two turtle doves cost?" Xia Chan asked.

"Two cents each, two cents each," the uncle said.

"Uncle, for fifty cents, can you give me the bird cage together with it?" If he gave her the turtle dove directly, wouldn't it be a loss if it flew away? Forty cents is not a small amount of money in this era.

The uncle agreed to Xia Chan's request and lifted the bird cage and put it into Xia Chan's basket. Xia Chan paid the money and continued walking forward with Jiang Yue.

Xia Chan also met someone selling pheasants and hares, but she was too poor to fail, so she didn't buy them. At most, she could go up the mountain with her brothers to hunt them by herself in a few days, so why waste the money here.

Although Xia Chan didn't buy it, Liu Li and Gao Bowen were very excited. They could eat it themselves or send it back to their families to improve their food, so they bought it separately.

One person bought two pheasants and a hare.

Xia Chan was walking and saw a stall selling mutton. She really wanted to buy them all, but there was Jiang Yue beside her, so she could only control her excitement.

Mutton costs 21 kilograms per piece, and bones and haggis cost 70 cents a kilogram, so Xia Chan bought five kilograms of mutton. She bought ten kilograms of mutton bones and haggis in total. It's so refreshing to have a bowl of haggis soup in the winter. .

Xia Chan didn't need much of the things she met later, so she didn't buy them. Instead, she met someone selling cloth shoes, and they were thicker ones. Xia Chan bought five pairs, one pair for each of the five siblings.

Seeing someone selling Mahua, Xia Chan bought a pound of Mahua and gave Jiang Yue one. Then she pulled her and stood at the exit of the market, waiting so that Qin Hongmei could see them first when she came back.

But she didn't expect that the person who saw them first was not Qin Hongmei, but Liu Li. Xia Chan didn't recognize them, but only after hearing his voice did she remember who he was.

"Liu Zhiqing, what's the matter with you?" Xia Chan asked in confusion.

Liu Li took out a pheasant tied with five-flowered flowers and handed it to Xia Chan, "Comrade Xia, I just saw that you didn't buy anything. I heard that you have been taking care of yourself during this time. Take this pheasant back and make soup." Take good care of your body.”

"No need." Xia Chan refused directly, "No reward for no merit. It's not easy for Liu Zhiqing to be alone outside. It's better to replenish his body by himself!"
