Stunning Check-in: A Carefree Life Begins in the Countryside

More than half an hour later.

Finally, the group saw the village ahead. Xie Weiguo said with a relaxed expression,

"We're here, it's just ahead."

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Nian'an lay on Xia An's back, gazing at Xia An's profile, her heart racing once more.

"Brother Xia, thank you."

"You're welcome,"

Xia An shook her head, "When we get back later, I can give you a massage. I think you'll be fine after resting for a couple of days."

"It would be even better if we could find some suitable herbs, but unfortunately I'm not familiar with this area."

Upon hearing this, Shen Nian'an blinked and asked in surprise, "Judging from what Brother Xia is saying, it seems you know about herbs?"

"I have studied some medicine in private, so I naturally know a bit about Chinese herbal medicine."

Xia An smiled and said that he was ready to demonstrate his medical skills to the outside world.

Logically speaking, sprained ankles should be treated with ice packs or topical application of medicines that cool the blood, stop bleeding, and reduce swelling; they should not be massaged.

Wait two days before massaging again, and use herbs that promote blood circulation to clear the meridians, promote blood flow, and help repair damaged tissues.

However, Xia An, who had mastered the medical tradition, was already extremely skilled in traditional Chinese massage, so he naturally had no such concerns.

"Brother Xia is really amazing."

Shen Nian'an exclaimed in admiration, her eyes already sparkling.

Judging from this, it seems that there is no doubt at all that he knows medicine.

Upon reaching the village entrance, Xia An, carrying Shen Nian'an on his back, remained neither flushed nor out of breath.

A hint of surprise flashed in Xie Weiguo's eyes, and he said with a strange expression, "You kid, you've got some strength, and you're in good shape."

Xia An chuckled and said, "Uncle Xie, you flatter me. It's mainly because I don't feel tired carrying Shen Zhiqing on my back."

Xie Weiguo was slightly taken aback, then laughed heartily, "You're quite interesting, kid."

Shen Nian'an blushed slightly, lowered her head and rested her head on his shoulder, her heart pounding.

Unbeknownst to them, a strange light flashed in Ye Qingxuan's eyes behind them.

This was rural labor, and she knew very well what having a lot of strength meant.

If a female educated youth could team up with someone like this, at least she wouldn't have to worry about food.

He's handsome, has a gentle yet assertive personality, and most importantly, he's physically strong.

As Ye Qingxuan thought to herself, she felt her heart pounding even faster.

look again?

Ye Qingxuan thought to herself, slowly calming her restless heart, intending to observe the situation further.

"I'll take you to the educated youth settlement to drop off your luggage first, and then I'll go to the team headquarters."

As Xie Weiguo spoke, he drove the oxcart toward the west of the village.

quickly,

The group arrived at the educated youth settlement.

Looking at the small house in front of them, everyone understood what Xie Weiguo had said earlier.

The courtyard wasn't very big, and there were two small-looking mud-brick houses.

The door has the words "male" and "female" on it, which should represent male and female dormitories.

On the left and right sides of the courtyard, there was a small shed, filled with firewood.

And a stove, with a pot on each side.

Xie Weiguo said, "It's the busy farming season now. Everyone takes their own lunch to the fields and won't come back. There's no one at the educated youth settlement."

"Put your things in the yard first, then come with me to the team headquarters."

"I need to register your personal information and process your household registration transfer certificates and grain ration transfer certificates, etc."

At this point, he changed the subject, "By the way, if you decide to build a house, the land for your house that the team can approve is right there."

As he spoke, he pointed to the open space to the west of the educated youth settlement and continued:

"The houses built by educated youth need to be near their settlements, which also makes it easier for them to manage them in a unified manner."

"Of course, after the houses are built, it is highly likely that we will no longer be able to share meals with the educated youth settlement, and we will need to prepare our own meals. We should be prepared for that."

Xia An glanced at the open space beside her, then looked around, her eyes showing a hint of joy.

Anping Village is surrounded by mountains on two sides. The boundless forests resemble the open mouth of a giant beast, creating a sense of impending danger.

One of these sides is the mountain forest two miles to the west of the educated youth settlement.

On the other side were the mountains and forests three or four miles north of Anping Village, which was also the northern part of the educated youth settlement.

It is comparable in size to the one to the west.

A stream emerges from the western mountains, encircling most of Anping Village in a embracing shape.

Finally, it headed east.

To the east lies a vast plain, dotted with fields.

In the distance, one can vaguely see the figures of people working in the fields.

The educated youth settlement is relatively close to the mountains and forests, which seems to make it easier to go hunting in the mountains. This place is not bad.

Xia An nodded in satisfaction. "Uncle Xie, this place is quite nice."

Xie Weiguo shook his head slightly, "It's good, but it's a bit close to the mountains and forests. Wild animals might come by, so we need to be careful."

Upon hearing this, everyone glanced at the distant mountains and forests, and their expressions turned serious.

"Alright, unload your things and come with me to the team headquarters."

Xie Weiguo urged,

Everyone nodded quickly.

Xia An put Shen Nian'an down and placed his luggage in the yard.

Seeing this, Shen Nianchu and the others quickly took down their luggage and put it together with his.

Afterwards, everyone went to the team headquarters and quickly completed the information registration and other procedures.

They each received 30 jin of coarse grains, which was their food supply before the autumn harvest.

If there isn't enough food, they'll have to find a way themselves.

Xie Weiguo waved his hand, "You don't need to work today and tomorrow. You can rest for two days and go to the commune to buy some supplies."

"Also, if you need to stay somewhere or build a house, come to the team headquarters after work."

"The production team leader and accountant from Anping Village will be there at the time, so we can discuss things in detail."

As he spoke, he glanced at Xia An, "Those who need to build houses should prepare blueprints."

"Or we could see which house type in the village is suitable and use that one."

"clear."

Everyone nodded and left the team headquarters.

On the way,

Ye Qingxuan looked at Xia An carrying Shen Nian'an on her back, and hesitated before speaking.

"Xia, it seems you're planning to build a house?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked over.

Xia An nodded.

"I do have that plan. Living alone doesn't require too much consideration and is quite comfortable."

"The main problem is that everyone comes from different parts of the country, and their habits are different, which inevitably leads to some conflicts."

"Living alone means I don't have to accommodate others, and I won't have to compromise myself."

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

Zhang Qiang snorted coldly, "You're not being united with your comrades, you're trying to create division. No wonder you can associate with people with class background issues."

Are you sick in the head?

Xia An was furious. "I've been putting up with you for so long! The organization even allowed the educated youth to build houses, so why the hell are you making such a fuss?"

"If you have so much guts to spout nonsense, why don't you come and try? I'll teach you a lesson."

Zhang Qiang shuddered at the memory of that kick and hurriedly ran a short distance away.

He muttered, "Rude~"

He's not stupid.

Xia An could carry Shen Nian'an on his back for five miles without stopping, so how could his stamina be lacking?

Going up against him is just asking for trouble, isn't it?

Everyone looked at Zhang Qiang with disdain; he talked a lot of nonsense but had absolutely no skills.

Xia An's expression was cold. Since transmigrating, he had been bullied by this guy more than once or twice.

It seems that the kick he received earlier wasn't enough to teach him a lesson!

If I hadn't been carrying Shen Nian'an on my back, I would have gone up and kicked him again.

As a transmigrator and a system-bound individual, how could he possibly put up with this nonsense?

This makes one grateful that this is a society governed by the rule of law; otherwise, the grass on one's grave would be three meters tall by now.

Ye Qingxuan quickly laughed and said, "Xia Zhiqing, don't bother with this kind of person, it's too unlucky."

"Speaking of which, I'm also interested in building a house right next to Xia Zhiqing's house, so we can help each other out if anything happens."

"I'm interested too," Jiang Mengmeng quickly said. "Renting a house won't work, and the educated youth settlement is too crowded. It seems that building a house is the most suitable option."

Shen Nianchu nodded, "My sister and I have special circumstances, and we also plan to move out, so building a house seems quite suitable."

As she spoke, she glanced at Xia An and suggested, "If the few of us could build together, it wouldn't be bad to be neighbors."

Xia An nodded slightly, her expression unchanged, but she was secretly delighted.

It's good that everyone is living outside!

There are many people in the educated youth settlement, making it difficult to cultivate goodwill, but it's a different story if they move out to live elsewhere.
