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

Chapter 181: Also for My Family

In the evening, Yuan Bingbing and the other two came with their brothers who had just gotten off work. Xia Chan asked them to wash their hands and faces with water to cool down, and then asked everyone to sit down and eat cold noodles.

The icy cold noodles entered my mouth. The fresh, salty and spicy feeling was very refreshing. Moreover, the cold noodles were very smooth to eat and were gone in a short slurp. The cucumber shreds were very crisp and fragrant and tasted very good. Everyone ate quickly and had no time to talk.

Xia Chan didn't have a big appetite and felt full after eating for a while. Seeing that she was about to put down her chopsticks, Xia Qi knew that she didn't want to eat anymore, so she directly picked up her bowl and poured the cold noodles in it into her own bowl.

Xia Chan was a little embarrassed for a moment, and then smiled helplessly. Obviously a whole bowl was enough for him, but he was greedy for her half bowl. However, this way he wouldn't waste food.

Xiao Tiantian finished a whole bowl of cold noodles and her stomach was full. She never thought of asking Xiao Fengfeng to help her eat the leftovers, so she didn't even have a piece of cucumber shreds left. The days in the countryside were so enjoyable and satisfying. She must write a letter to her grandparents, tell them about these things, and then ask them to send some good things over. She wanted to give them to Xia Chan.

Xia Chan is the same age as her and was also born in summer. She feels that Xia Chan is just like her sister. She likes Xia Chan very much and wants to be nice to Xia Chan. This feeling is absolutely not present between her and her biological sister Xiao Mimi.

Yes, that’s right, Xiao Tiantian is one of the twins, the other one is Xiao Mimi, but Xiao Tiantian was born first, so Xiao Tiantian is the older sister and Xiao Mimi is the younger sister.

Their family does not favor boys over girls, nor does it favor the older ones and ignore the younger ones. However, Xiao Mimi is obviously slightly more favored than Xiao Tiantian at home. However, Xiao Tiantian does not feel unbalanced because she is also a very happy girl.

Looking at Xia Chan living such a life in the countryside, although Xia Chan's family lives better than most people and can often have friends like them come over for dinner, Xiao Tiantian still feels sorry for Xia Chan.

"Let's go together." Xia Qi said.

Xia Chan hurriedly shook her head. "My brothers have been working hard recently. Just stay home and have a good rest. I can go with the captain's kids. Besides, nothing will happen on the ridge. It's not by the river or pond."

After the three of them left, Xia Chan said to his brothers, "I heard there is water in the rice fields. I plan to go and see if there are any crayfish and eels tonight. Otherwise, we won't be able to eat them after summer."

Xia Chan went out with the fire tongs, wooden bucket and flashlight, and went straight to the rice field where she had quietly added water before. Although it was "muddy water", after two days of sedimentation, the water in the rice field is now crystal clear, and the rice has regained its vitality, it is emerald green and looks vibrant.

She felt that Xia Chan was such a good person and shouldn't live like this.

Xia Qi nodded, "Then come back early."

Knowing that their sister didn't want them to follow her, they decided not to follow. After all, they were in the fields and nothing would happen. If they were to go into the mountains alone at night, they would definitely not agree.

It looks like we can add water to other rice fields tonight.

Xia Chan used his flashlight to shine along the edge of the field. He found snails, crayfish, eels, loaches, and even small fish that were smaller than a little finger. However, the water in the rice field was too shallow to put the fish in the basket, otherwise Xia Chan would not have wanted to miss these small fish.

After all, at the beginning, she was catching small fish in the stream and making them into dried fish. So now Xia Chan did not waste time, but directly caught snails and crayfish. The children in the village did not come out to catch them, probably because they have not realized this yet. They should react in two days.

So catch more summer cicadas first.

Around eleven o'clock in the evening, Xia Chan went to the 'Crossing Mall' again to place an order for 'Muddy Water'. This time she placed two orders directly, which was 600 cubic meters of water. She irrigated dozens of acres of rice fields, and then went home with a full bucket of stuff.

The first time she added water to the swamp for the experiment was not counted. This was considered her own money and not something she did for the village. The money she spent on adding water to the rice fields had already cost two hundred and seventy yuan, but this matter could not be told to outsiders. No one would ever know about her contribution to the team, and those who disrespected her would also disrespect her, and their attitude would not change at all.

But Xia Chan doesn't care about these. They can only live a good life if their family is allocated food.

So, she did this for her family.

Arriving at the foot of the mountain and seeing Xia Qi standing there, Xia Chan felt touched. All the brothers were very nice, but only Xia Qi was so considerate, and it seemed that only Xia Qi put her at the top of his heart.

It could also be because Xia Qi is his cousin and is not on the same household registration book as them, so he feels insecure!
Only by holding on to this sister can he have a real family.

But the kindness to the summer cicadas is real.

"Brother, why are you here?" Xia Chan asked knowingly.

Xia Qi reached out and knocked on Xia Chan's head, "What do you think? How can I not be worried after catching for such a long time? Let me see how many you have caught." Xia Qi took the wooden barrel from Xia Chan and said in a disappointed tone, "I thought you could catch a lot, but I didn't expect that you only caught one barrel after catching for such a long time."

"Aren't there too many people caught? If we divide it among everyone, we can only get this much." Xia Chan took Xia Qi's arm and said with a smile. In fact, when she filled the first bucket, she moved into the space. The one outside was the second bucket.

After the brother and sister returned home, Xia Chan picked out the snails and crayfish, and then kept them in a wooden basin, intending to let the snails spit out the mud and sand, and make spicy snails for everyone in a few days.

The next morning, the villagers found that there was water in another batch of rice fields, and they all cheered excitedly. Now only a small number of rice fields were without water, and they only had to bear a small part of the losses.

The captain asked everyone to be quiet and not to make any noise, lest this matter get out and the higher-ups send people to investigate their village. After all, this matter was too weird.

It didn't rain, but water suddenly appeared in the rice fields. Could it be that the gods couldn't bear to see everyone suffering and showed up?
But we cannot be feudal and superstitious at this time, and we cannot say such things, otherwise everyone will suffer. So we cannot spread this matter out. When reporting the disaster situation, we can only not report it as serious, protect ourselves, and not compete for resources with other production teams.

Since there was water in the rice fields, Xia Chan resumed the task of catching crayfish. On the third night, he met several children from the team leader's family. They knew how delicious crayfish were last year, so they rushed to catch them now.
