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

The morning light shines down, bringing brightness to this world, and a new day arrives as scheduled.

Xia An got up and walked out of the side room, only to see Aunt Xiangyun and Luo Yue busy in the courtyard.

Seeing him come out, Aunt Xiangyun smiled and said, "Xia, the educated youth, is awake. Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Xia An shook her head and smiled, "I'm used to sleeping in late, I can't stay in bed any longer."

Then, changing the subject,

"Auntie, it's best not to use your medicine pot. Do you have any other ones prepared?"

"Yes," Aunt Xiangyun quickly replied with a smile, "I heard about it from your Uncle Xie this morning, and I thought it was better to be prepared, so I went to borrow one."

Xia An nodded, "Clean it thoroughly, and start a fire to prepare the medicine."

"I'll teach you this the first time; from now on, you'll have to do it yourselves."

"good!"

Aunt Xiangyun nodded quickly.

Luo Yue's eyes showed even more gratitude, joy, and anticipation.

After washing up, Xia An quickly ate breakfast and then "took" out the ginseng from the side room.

One-third was used to brew medicine, and the rest was put into the space after entering the side room.

He stepped out of the room and began to brew the medicine, while also instructing the two on some details.

The two watched Xia An brew the medicine, their expressions very serious.

A moment later,

Luo Yunshu and Kong Qingci arrived outside the courtyard.

Luo Yunshu blushed slightly. "Brother Xia An, are you home?"

"Come in, I'm brewing medicine."

Xia An's voice came out, and Luo Yunshu and the other person exchanged a glance before walking in.

"Brother Xia An, are you brewing medicine for Sister Yue?"

When Luo Yunshu saw that Luo Yue hadn't gone to work, she vaguely guessed what was going on.

"right!"

Xia An smiled and nodded, glanced outside, and casually asked:

"Didn't Sister Yuxue come with you?"

Luo Yunshu shook her head. "She went into the mountains, saying she wanted to hunt some game."

Xia An frowned slightly, but shook her head without saying anything more.

"You've come at the right time. Try taking Sister-in-law Xie's pulse; I'll teach you how to feel her pulse..."

"Thank you, Brother Xia An," Luo Yunshu's eyes lit up, and she quickly looked at Luo Yue.

Luo Yue smiled, sat down next to her, and extended her hand to her.

While decocting the medicine, Xia An did not forget to instruct Luo Yunshu, teaching her the details of Luo Yue's pulse, what symptoms it contained, and how to treat it.

Luo Yunshu listened attentively, occasionally showing a look of realization, and occasionally raising questions.

Xia An was very patient with this.

Since everyone is interested in passing on their medical skills, and this person is none other than Luo Yunshu!

Seeing Xia An's serious expression as he taught Luo Yunshu without holding anything back, Kong Qingci was slightly touched.

He's actually a pretty good guy!

His uncle's words still echoed in his ears, and Kong Qingci's ears felt slightly hot.

Time passed slowly,

While teaching Aunt Xiangyun and the others how to brew medicine, Xia An was also instructing Luo Yunshu in medical skills.

Even Aunt Xiangyun was brought over as a case study, and Luo Yunshu benefited greatly from listening to her.

Half an hour passed quickly, and Xia An took the medicine pot and placed it aside.

"Auntie, let it cool down a bit,"

"I'll go take a look around the construction site, then come back to give Sister-in-law Xie acupuncture."

Aunt Xiangyun and Luo Yue nodded repeatedly.

Luo Yunshu quickly said, "Brother Xia An, we'll go with you."

Xia An shook her head and chuckled, "I was just going over for a smoke and to ask Uncle Luo about the furniture. What would I be doing taking you two with me?"

"Why don't you stay here and review what I just taught you, and also dry the medicinal herbs in the sun?"

"Wait for me to come back, and I'll teach you acupuncture..."

Xia An, as if remembering something, quickly changed the subject.

"Of course, it depends on whether Sister-in-law Xie minds you being there."

Luo Yue quickly shook her head and smiled, "I'm fine, they're all my sisters."

Luo Yunshu's face lit up with joy, but a hint of disappointment lingered in her eyes.

"Alright then, I won't go."

Xia An glanced at Kong Qingci, only to see Kong Qingci shake her head and smile.

"Xia Zhiqing, I won't go. I'll just stay here with Yunshu."

Xia An nodded slightly, went inside to get a cigarette, and quickly walked towards the construction site.

at this time,

The roof of their house is almost finished; they're currently doing the final touches.

Wall, floor, door and window treatments, etc.

The roof of the clinic is almost finished, and post-construction work is underway...

With over thirty people working, it's quite fast unless it's time-consuming tasks like bricklaying.

Xia An smiled slightly, distributed cigarettes and candy to everyone, and then found Luo Shutong.

"Third Uncle, I asked about it yesterday."

"I cook with a few of them, so we need a square table, a dish rack, and two or three buckets."

"We need five pieces each of the kang table, bedside table, and kang cabinet. If the kang cabinet is expensive, we can skip it."

"Five sets?" Uncle Luo was slightly surprised, glancing at the houses behind him.

"There are only five rooms in total. Do you need to accommodate those two rooms?"

Xia An shook her head and smiled, "No, it's what the educated youth An and the others wanted."

"Yesterday, An and the other two educated youths came to me, saying that the educated youth settlement was too crowded and they wanted to rent a room from me."

Uncle Luo smiled knowingly, "I knew it! Why would you want five sets?"

"I spoke to them yesterday, and I'll have them take you to see them."

As he spoke, he waved to a spot not far away, and two middle-aged men quickly walked over.

Luo Shutong pointed to the rather thin man and introduced him to Xia An, "This is Kong Deming."

"The other one is Xie Liting. They are carpenters from Anping Village who specialize in making furniture. They also made the doors and windows for the houses."

"Deming is my peer, the second oldest in his family. Xiao Xie is a junior, the eldest in his family. You can call him whatever you like."

Xia An smiled and said, "Uncle Kong, thank you for your trouble."

Since Xie Weiguo was chosen as the anchor point, the rules that apply to others should still apply.

In Anping Village, one must not neglect the importance of interpersonal relationships and social etiquette!

Kong Deming shook his head and smiled, "Young Master Xia, there's no need to be so polite."

"My third brother told us yesterday that there are indeed some finished products at home, it just depends on how many you need."

Xia An nodded with a smile, "We need an eight-immortal table, a dish rack, a kang table, a kang cabinet, a bedside table, and a water bucket."

"We need five sets of kang table, kang cabinet, and bedside table. If the kang cabinet is expensive, we'll just need one."

Upon hearing this, Kong Deming and Xie Liting exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with surprise and delight.

Kong Deming laughed and said, "Xia, we won't hide it from you. We collected the timber ourselves from the mountains; it didn't cost much."

"There are two types of eight-immortal tables: one is a long bench, and the other is a chair."

"For the villagers, the benches are three yuan, and the chairs are four yuan and fifty cents."

"The bowl rack is three yuan, the kang table is one yuan and fifty cents, the bedside table is three yuan, and the kang cabinet is six yuan."

"For Xia Zhiqing's sake, we'll go with this price. We'll give you three buckets and a carrying pole; that should be enough."

Xia An was slightly taken aback. "So cheap?"

Uncle Luo smiled and said, "The timber all comes from the mountains, so they've made a profit at this price."

Kong Deming and the other man smiled.

Xia An suddenly realized, and smiled, "Then thank you very much, Uncle Kong and Brother Xie."

"One set each of long bench, eight-immortal table, and bowl rack; five pieces each of kang table and bedside table."

"We need one kang cabinet for now."

Kong Deming did a quick calculation: "In that case, thirty will do."

Xia An was slightly surprised. "Uncle Kong, it should be 34.5 yuan, right?"
