The sound of the gong signaling the end of the workday also heralded the coming to a close.

Xia An sat listlessly to the side, watching the two people busy in the kitchen.

This kind of life isn't bad!

He smiled slightly, quite satisfied with his current life.

Soon,

Footsteps could be heard outside, and many team members passed by.

Seeing Xia An in the courtyard, they all greeted him.

"Xia, what are you doing here?"

Xia An chuckled and replied, "I'm making medicine for Scarface and also stopping by Yun Shu's place for a free meal."

The man replied, "My house is right next door, and Xia Zhiqing can come to my house too."

"Me too."

Others echoed this sentiment.

Xia An chuckled lightly, "Thank you all for your kindness, I'll go again when I have time."

"That's a deal!"

The team members left with smiles on their faces.

At this time,

Jiang Mengmeng and the other three also walked in. Xia An turned her head to look at them, and a message flashed through her mind:

[Remember the fastest online novel website: 121999.com]

Jiang Mengmeng—I like it!

Ye Qingxuan—I like her!

Shen Nianchu—I like her!

Shen Nian'an—I like her!

Xia An was slightly taken aback; it turned out his earlier feeling was indeed correct.

but,

Xia An could understand everything else, but the fact that the seemingly aloof Shen Nianchu liked him was somewhat unexpected.

What puzzled him even more was, was his luck with women really that good?

Or is he really that charming?

After obtaining the Heart-to-Heart Seal skill, I encountered nine stunningly beautiful women.

One good feeling, two infatuations, six likes—isn't that a little bit outrageous?

How long has it been?

Xia An muttered to himself, puzzled.

Unfortunately, it seems no one can answer his question.

Just then, Luo Yunshu called out, "Hurry up and wash up and come eat."

"Here it comes, here it comes."

Jiang Mengmeng quickly replied,

Xia An carried Bai Ling into the main room and placed it on the ground to the side.

Soon, Jiang Mengmeng and the other three also washed their hands and came in.

"This life, apart from being a bit tiring working in the fields, is better than what I eat at home."

Looking at the sumptuous dinner on the table, Jiang Mengmeng couldn't help but chuckle.

Ye Qingxuan shook her head, "This is all thanks to Xia An."

"If it weren't for the meat he hunted, we wouldn't be able to afford such a sumptuous meal given our circumstances."

"After that, if we didn't receive money from home, coarse grain porridge with pickled vegetables became the norm."

Luo Yunshu nodded, "Qingxuan's words are true. Before Brother Xia An came, I was lucky if I could eat two ounces of meat a month."

As she spoke, she shrugged, "After Xia An and you guys start cooking together, I'll have to go to your place to mooch meat if I want to eat it."

Xia An shook her head and smiled, "Don't say that, you're welcome to come to our place anytime."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yunshu's eyes lit up.

"Brother Xia An, you said it yourself, don't turn around and not welcome me!"

"I won't!"

Xia An smiled and placed two smaller pieces of meat in front of Bai Ling.

Seeing this, Jiang Mengmeng and the other three noticed Bai Ling's presence, their eyes showing surprise.

"Brother Xia, this little fox is so cute! Did you catch it?"

Shen Nianchu asked curiously, her eyes seemingly sparkling as she looked at the adorable fox.

Xia An shook her head. "No, I rescued it. After I released it, it followed me."

Li Yuxue smiled and said, "White foxes are quite rare. I've been running around in the mountains for so many years, and this is the first time I've ever seen one."

"It is said that white foxes have spirits. Since this white fox was released and followed Xia Zhiqing, it is most likely that it has a spirit."

Xia An smiled and said, "Sister Yuxue is right, she does have some talent."

Jiang Mengmeng looked curious. "Xia An, since this white fox is following you, have you given it a name?"

"Take it."

Xia An nodded, "I saw that she was pure white and had a spiritual quality, so I named her Bai Ling."

Bai Ling looked up at the right moment, glanced at Xia An, and continued chewing.

The group nodded slightly.

Ye Qingxuan shook her head and smiled, "It sounds like a person's name."

Xia An smiled but didn't explain. "Alright, everyone, let's eat."

Everyone nodded.

After dinner,

Xia An brought up the furniture, saying, "What do you think you need? I'll talk to Uncle Luo tomorrow and ask him about it."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingxuan and the other three fell into deep thought.

Ye Qingxuan said, "There are quite a few of us eating, so we need a table and chairs, as well as a dish rack."

"Personally, I need one kang table, one bedside table, and one kang cabinet. If the price is too high, I can skip the kang cabinet."

Shen Nianchu chimed in, "My sister and I have the same needs as Qingxuan."

"Me too," Jiang Mengmeng said.

Xia An nodded, "Okay, I've got it."

Ye Qingxuan continued, "And don't forget, we didn't buy a water tank back then, and we didn't buy buckets either when we used them to fetch water."

Luo Yunshu said, "I passed by the supply and marketing cooperative today and saw the water vat. I thought you might need it, Brother Xia An."

"Plus, there weren't many people on the oxcart, so I just bought one on the way back."

Upon hearing this, Xia An's face lit up with joy. "That's great! How much?"

"No…"

Luo Yunshu was about to say no, but after glancing at Ye Qingxuan and the other three,

"I bought the medium size, it cost five yuan."

Xia An nodded. "I don't have any money with me right now. I'll give it to you later."

But Ye Qingxuan smiled.

"Xia An, we've eaten so much of your food these past two days, let us pay for it."

"right!"

Jiang Mengmeng chimed in, "You've been handling all the arrangements for building the house, so I think we should also provide the tables, chairs, dish racks, and buckets."

The Shen sisters nodded in agreement.

Xia An glanced at the four people, shrugged slightly, shook his head and smiled.

"Since you insist, then I naturally have no objection."

Seeing that he agreed, they all smiled.

"Alright, I'll go give Scarface acupuncture first. You guys rest."

Xia An stood up and chuckled softly.

Immediately, he picked up Bai Ling, grabbed the medicine, and prepared to leave.

At this time,

Li Yuxue suddenly coughed lightly, then casually asked, "Yunshu, I'd like to take a shower later, could you come with me?"

"sure."

Luo Yunshu nodded, not thinking much of it.

She looked at Ye Qingxuan and the other three, "Mengmeng, are you going again tonight?"

"If we go..."

Ye Qingxuan glanced at Xia An, who had paused slightly, and gently shook her head.

"Although there are some sweat stains, I don't need to do it too often. I want to rest early tonight."

Jiang Mengmeng and the other two nodded in agreement, their brows showing signs of fatigue.

Luo Yunshu nodded, "Alright, then I'll go with Sister Yuxue."

Xia An didn't linger any longer, quickly walked out of the courtyard, and headed towards the east end of the village.

He recalled Li Yuxue's words, his eyes thoughtful.

Is she targeting me?

Xia An didn't believe that Li Yuxue was just saying it casually; she was most likely telling him about it.

But he didn't know why she said it to Luo Yunshu in public instead of in private.

Xia An shook her head, not thinking about it any further.

Anyway, he planned to go to the educated youth settlement later to take a look.

Arriving at the east end of the village,

Just as Xia An was about to head towards Scarface's house, Yang Yanqiu and Chen Zhiyi walked towards her.
