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

Chapter 135 Hiding under the quilt and crying secretly
Xia Chan knew that her brothers were reluctant to buy things, so she sent them to buy oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and other things, while she went to the pastry counter and bought some egg cakes, rice noodles, tongue biscuits, etc. Moreover, the time for winter hunting would soon be here, and this year it was Jin Pengfei's turn. She also had to prepare food for her brother to take with him. After all, they would be gone for more than half a month, so how could she not be fully prepared?

After shopping, the five brothers and sisters went back.

He drove the tractor into the captain's yard and stuffed a handful of fruit candies into Aunt Lin's pocket, asking her to share them with the children. Aunt Lin smiled and said, "Their family is getting better and better."

The captain said, "As long as you work hard, your life will get better and better."

Aunt Lin smiled and gave each child a piece of fruit candy, saving the rest for tomorrow as they couldn't eat them all at once.

Soon it was the day when the production team organized everyone to go hunting in the mountains. This year, many small families were separated, so there were more strong laborers going hunting. On the day before departure, Xia Chan packed up the things for Jin Pengfei to bring into the mountains for hunting.

A whole bag was filled up. Last year, I filled a backpack for Jin Pengyuan, but she felt that there were still too few things, so this year she filled a little more than last year and also put some things in the empty backpack.

Xia Chan didn't feel flustered this time, which meant that nothing would happen to Jin Pengfei this time. Even if something happened, it wouldn't be a big problem, so there was no need to worry.

"Brother Pengfei, you must pay attention to your safety and protect yourself. Try not to interfere in other people's affairs. Even if you have to, do it under the condition of protecting yourself. After all, if something happens to you, other than us being sad, no one else will take any responsibility for you." Before going to bed at night, Xia Chan couldn't help but remind him, "We are all waiting for you to come back home."

Jin Pengfei rubbed Xia Chan's hair and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will definitely come back safely."

The next day, before daybreak, Jin Pengfei carried his things, held a flashlight, and went down the mountain to gather at the threshing ground.

Two days later, after Xia Qi came back from selling fish in town, she placed a thick stack of photos on the kang table.

"Did you get the photos?" Xia Chan excitedly took the photos out of the paper bag, carefully pinched the edges, and looked at them seriously. The brothers were so handsome that she was almost going crazy over them.

Second Uncle and Xia Chan's father were both good-looking when they were young, so Xia Bin and Xia Qi looked good. But Second Uncle... was too much. He actually allowed his second wife to abuse his own son. You know, this was the only son in his life.

Jin Pengfei and Jin Pengyuan are also good. Although their father's appearance has long been blurred, a father who can give birth to such children must be good-looking.

Xia Chan distributed the photos to her brothers and kept the rest in her hands, because she had the space and they could be kept for dozens or even hundreds of years without going bad.

The brothers were very happy when they received the photos. This should be the first time they took photos in their lives. In the first photo, they were wearing the same clothes, and it looked particularly warm and beautiful.

Xia Qi looked at the photo and returned it to Xia Chan, "Xiao Chan, I'll give the photo to you for safekeeping! You are a scholar, you should know how to preserve it for a longer time. If you leave it with us, it will probably be useless soon."

"Okay, then I'll keep it. Just come to me when you want to see it." There was no plastic-sealing technology for photos at that time, so they could not be preserved for long. Only a few people had glass on their desks, and the photos could be preserved longer by pressing them under the glass.

So Xia Qi's words were exactly what Xia Chan wanted, so she readily agreed. Afterwards, the brothers gave the photos to Xia Chan for safekeeping.

"If only my parents could take pictures in the past, I wouldn't forget what they looked like." Xia Bin suddenly said.

Everyone felt uncomfortable after hearing this, because they had almost forgotten what their parents looked like.

Xia Qi's mother died when she was a child. It has been more than ten years now, so how could she still remember what her mother looked like?
There are also Jin Pengfei and Jin Pengyuan, whose father died when they were only a few years old. It’s not that they are unfilial and have forgotten what their parents looked like, but that time has passed so long that they really can’t remember them. They can’t remember them just because they want to.

Xia Chan didn't know what to say to cheer them up, so she just said, "Then let's take pictures every few years or every year to record our changes every year, so that we won't forget what everyone looks like in the future."

To be honest, Xia Chan herself couldn't remember what her father looked like. After all, he had passed away for some years. And she was different from others. She remembered a lot of things in her mind. Sometimes she couldn't even remember what happened in the past few days, let alone things that happened so long ago.

"Yes, we can go take photos often in the future. It doesn't cost much to take one or two photos." Xia Bin said.

Xia Chan saw his red eyes and knew that he was upset. After all, who doesn't want their parents to be around? Especially since their parents are pretty good people, not the biased and extreme parents that other people have.

When those biased and extreme parents pass away, their children will miss them, not to mention that their parents are such good people.

Everyone was in a heavy mood tonight, so Xia Chan did not give them a lesson. Instead, she let them soak their feet and rest early. Fortunately, they had all grown up, otherwise they would probably have hidden in their quilts and cried secretly.

The next morning, everything was back to normal.

After breakfast, Xia Qi took Jin Pengyuan out hunting, but they did not go to the cave, but to their parents' cemetery. If they always hunted in the same place, what would happen if the species became extinct?
Xia Bin sat in a warm room, weaving lobster traps with bamboo. When summer comes, he can put the traps in the river or pond, or in the swamp on the mountain. There is water there all year round and it never dries up, so there should be a lot of things in it.

But he didn't know that he had already gone to the swamp to catch summer cicadas several times.

It was a very cold day and Xia Chan had nothing to do, so she sat at the table on the kang, drinking hot tea and reading a book. There were many courses in high school and she had no one to guide her, so she could only rely on herself. She would get her high school diploma in a few months after the New Year, and then no one would be able to say anything about her academic qualifications.

"What do you want to eat for lunch?" Xia Bin felt tired after making up for a while, so he sat down next to Xia Chan to rest.

"Brother, just do it!" Xia Chan looked up and smiled brightly at Xia Bin.

Now we have meat and vegetables at home, so she can eat anything and she is not picky.
