Chapter 119 Why are you my brother
After visiting the bookstore, it was already lunch time when they came out. The five brothers and sisters went straight to the state-owned restaurant. They ordered two braised pork, two braised fish, one chicken stewed with mushrooms, and two sweet and sour pork ribs. They didn’t order any vegetables. After all, they were at home. There are so many vegetables that we can’t finish them all. Who wouldn’t want to spend money to order some vegetables?
The staff was a little surprised after hearing Xia Chan's order, "You've ordered so much, have you finished it?"
Xia Chan stuffed a handful of White Rabbit toffee into it and said with a smile, "Eat it all, eat it all, there are five of us brothers and sisters! Sorry for bothering you, sister."
Afterwards, Xia Chan ordered ten more large steamed buns. How could she not eat so much and order some soup to relieve the greasiness? Xia Chan ordered another kelp, seaweed and egg drop soup.
When the food was served on the table, the five brothers and sisters all started to eat it. It was indeed delicious. After all, the chef had many years of cooking experience, which was not something ordinary people like Xia Chan could compare with.
When the guests at other tables saw their table ordering so many meat dishes, they all mentally scolded them for being country bumpkins. They ordered so much meat on a rare occasion when they were in the city, but they also envied them for having money and tickets. After all, steamed buns require food stamps and braised pork requires food stamps. Meat tickets, fish still need fish tickets!
This is why my brothers can always sell fish. If you are a city dweller without relatives in the countryside, you need fish tickets to even eat fish!
With the strength of many people, the food on the table was swept away, and everyone was full. However, we couldn't sit here and take up space because there were people outside waiting to come in to eat, so the five of us took the food. Got up and went out.
Next it was the movie theater's turn. We walked from the state-owned hotel and it was just enough time to eat. Fortunately, these bustling places were in places with a lot of traffic and were not too far away. We arrived at the movie theater in a short while.
The movies at this time were almost all anti-Japanese war films that were touching and heart-warming. Those movies were played over and over again, but in an era when there were no entertainment activities, there was nothing interesting for everyone except watching movies.
Since I had just had lunch, my digestion was not that fast, so I didn’t buy snacks such as melon seeds and peanuts. Instead, I bought movie tickets, and when the time was up, I went straight in.
After a few dozen minutes, the movie ended. Xia Chan turned to look at her brothers, feeling that they still had a little more to say, "A ticket is only 20 cents. Even if you come to watch it every day, it only costs more than 70 yuan. Otherwise, Let’s come over often in the future! How about once a week, or once every half month?”
Xia Qi touched Xia Chan's hair, "Didn't I just finish reading it today? Are you now thinking about the next time?"
"Plan it first, can't you?" Xia Chan smiled.
"Let's talk about it when we get back!" Xia Qi said.
I just finished watching the movie, and I am still a little overwhelmed. Thank you to all the great military comrades for driving out the people of Xiaori Country. Otherwise, how could they have such a stable life now?
"It's still early. It's too hot to walk back and you might get heat stroke. How about we go to the scrap station and have a look?" Xia Chan suggested.
"Okay!"
After that, the five brothers and sisters went to the scrap yard together. Xia Chan looked for some complete books, comics, and newspapers. The brothers were aimless and didn't find anything good. In the end, they took two small pieces of furniture that could still be used. Since Now that you’re here, you definitely can’t go back empty-handed!
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, the five brothers and sisters were walking back. They had a very fulfilling day today. They did a lot of things and ate delicious food. They even made a special trip by the supply and marketing cooperative when they came back.
Went in and bought some glutinous rice sticks, chicken cakes, fruit candies and white rabbit milk candies. When I went home, I didn’t want to be seen by people in my village, so I went back from another mountain. When I got home, it was almost dark, so I sat down to rest for a while. I didn’t plan to cook anymore. I just boiled noodles and ate them. .
While cooking the noodles, he also boiled hot water for Xia Chan to take a bath.
But their men can just go to the stream to wash themselves. They have to go out to catch crayfish and eels at night. Even if they want to take a bath, they have to wait until they come back to take a bath.
After eating the noodles and attending an hour of class, the brothers were about to go out with the bucket, fire tongs and flashlight. Xia Chan was about to close the courtyard door, but she saw Xia Qi sneaking back.
Xia Chan was about to ask him, but Xia Qi locked the courtyard door and pulled Xia Chan into the house.
Because they were her brothers, Xia Chan would never doubt that they would be harmful to her. Even if they hurt herself, they would not hurt her.
Xia Qi mysteriously took out something from her pocket, and then showed it in front of Xia Chan. Xia Chan opened her eyes wide in surprise and covered her mouth in disbelief, "Brother, where did you come from?" ?”
It turned out to be a large yellow croaker, more than 300 grams, weighing six taels of gold. According to the price in the 21st century, this large yellow croaker is worth 120,000!
Xia Qi pulled Xia Chan's hand over and put the big yellow croaker on Xia Chan's hand. Then she took out another big yellow croaker from another pocket, put it on Xia Chan's hand again, and held it with her hand. Holding Xia Chan's hand, "I picked this up in the scrapyard today. I hid it quietly without making any announcement."
Xia Chan looked at Xia Qi in confusion, "Brother, why are you so lucky?"
She has been to the scrapyard so many times, but she has not picked up any large or small yellow croakers. She once picked up some discarded furniture legs that were not of the right weight, but she has not checked them yet, and she does not know whether there are any large or small yellow croakers inside.
"It's because you are by my side that I can have such good luck." Xia Qi said with a smile, "These two big yellow croakers are given to you. They will be yours from now on. You can keep them when you need them in the future." Just take it out and use it.”
"Give it to me? Didn't you ask me to save it for you?" Xia Chan was even more incredible.
"Here, what do I need this for? I have food and drink. It's useless to ask for this. You are a girl and you should prepare some money for self-defense." Xia Qi said seriously. He is not short of money now. He celebrated the New Year last year. I only divided a thousand yuan, but I will be able to divide a few thousand more during the Chinese New Year this year. How can I use this thing?
"Brother, why are you my brother?" Xia Chan was so moved that her eye circles began to turn red.
"What's wrong? I'm your brother, are you unhappy?" Xia Qi raised her eyebrows and looked at Xia Chan with a hurt face. Could it be that Xia Chan disliked his disfigurement? He subconsciously reached out and touched the scar on his face. Although he applied some scar removal cream every day, the scar was still very obvious after such a long time.
"No, if you weren't my brother, I could find you as my husband. He's tall, long-legged, handsome, and has a gentle temper. The most important thing is to be nice to me. Where can I find such a man in the future? Husband?" Xia Chan said hurriedly.
Xia Qi is very good and generous in all aspects. She is really a good husband candidate, but there is no way to become her husband.
