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

"Just thirty,"

Kong Deming glanced at Xie Liting, and the two exchanged a smile.

"Xia Zhiqing, if we dare to offer you too high a salary, people will gossip about us."

Luo Shutong smiled and said, "Xia Zhiqing, listen to him. They're still making a profit."

Xia An nodded, "Then thank you very much, Uncle Kong and Brother Xie."

As he spoke, he took out a wad of cash from his bag, pulling out a ten-yuan note.

He handed over the rest, saying, "Uncle Kong, please count them and see if they're correct?"

Kong Deming was slightly taken aback. "Xia, the educated youth, is quite impulsive. Hasn't she even gone to check on things?"

Xia An smiled and said, "I've seen these things at Uncle Xie's and Yun Shu's houses; they shouldn't be too different."

"Uncle Kong, you wouldn't cheat me."

Kong Deming smiled, took the money, glanced at it, and nodded with a smile.

"Of course, the money is right."

"The eight-immortal table, dish rack, and water bucket are all ready; we'll bring them over later."

"We're still missing a few other things, but we'll get them all ready in three days at the latest."

"Okay!" Xia An nodded with a smile, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Uncle Kong."

"polite!"

The two shook their heads and smiled.

After chatting with the group for a few more minutes, Xia An took his leave.

He still needs to go back and give acupuncture to people.

Upon returning to the Xie family home, they found a military green jeep parked at the entrance.

Xia An raised an eyebrow. What important person had come to the Xie family?

Last time Assistant Wei and the others came, they only rode bicycles, right?

Although he was puzzled, he didn't doubt it further and went straight into the courtyard.

"Brother Xia An, you're back."

Seeing Xia An walk in, Luo Yunshu's face lit up with joy, and she quickly stepped forward.

Xia An nodded.

His gaze fell on the three outsiders in the courtyard, a knowing glint in his eyes.

It's them, no surprise.

The visitors were Wei Shanghua and his two guards, Sun Liang and Sun Qian.

Upon seeing him enter, Wei Shanghua quickly stood up and hurried to greet him.

"You must be Brother Xia An. I am Wei Shanghua. Do you remember me?"

"I remember," Xia An nodded, shaking his outstretched hand.

"Comrade Wei isn't recuperating in the city, so what brings you here?"

Wei Shanghua scratched his head and smiled, "Brother Xia, there's no need to be so formal, just call me Hua Zai."

"Thank you so much, Brother Xia, for saving me last time. I've come here specifically to express my gratitude."

"It was just a small favor."

Xia An shook his head and smiled, "Anyone would have stepped in if they were in that situation. Why did Brother Shang Hua make a special trip?"

Wei Shanghua shook his head, "I have to come and thank Brother Xia for saving my life."

Xia An shook his head and chuckled, "It's nothing, not worth mentioning."

"Let's not talk about that. I'm a bit busy here; I need to give the patient acupuncture first."

"Please have a seat, Qingci. Please take care of things for me."

Kong Qingci nodded.

Wei Shanghua nodded quickly, "Brother Xia, you go ahead with your work, don't worry about us."

Xia An nodded, gave Luo Yue the medicine, and led Luo Yunshu into the inner room.

As for Aunt Xiangyun, she was helping Kong Qingci entertain Wei Shanghua and the other two.

Luo Yue, having weathered many storms, wasn't so coy.

Although it got dark, there was no major mistake like Ye Wan'er's.

While inserting acupuncture needles, Xia An explained the key points and principles of acupuncture to Luo Yunshu.

Soon,

After the acupuncture was finished, Xia An took Luo Yue's pulse to confirm its condition, and his voice continued to come out:

"At this point, for most practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine, it's pretty much over."

"Next, you only need to wait half an hour to remove the needle."

"However, highly skilled traditional Chinese medicine practitioners can determine a patient's condition through pulse diagnosis and make minor adjustments from time to time."

"The purpose of doing this is to maximize the effects of acupuncture."

As he spoke, Xia An shook his head slightly, then changed the subject:

"Of course, you don't need to study this for now; getting too involved too much can easily confuse you."

Luo Yunshu nodded repeatedly, her beautiful eyes occasionally glancing at Xia An, her gaze sparkling.

Xia An didn't give any further instruction, but instead adjusted the acupuncture based on the pulse diagnosis.

Luo Yue lay on the kang (a heated brick bed), her beautiful eyes glancing frequently at Xia An, then at Luo Yunshu beside her, a secret smile playing on her lips.

This girl, Yun Shu, her affection is practically written all over her face.

But then again,

If she were unmarried, she would definitely be attracted to a man like this.

Unfortunately, she's already married!

Even if she hadn't married, her looks and figure were still far inferior to Luo Yunshu's.

She wasn't much of a competitor to Xia An, surrounded by a group of beautiful women.

Luo Yue chuckled inwardly, but her face flushed slightly.

On one hand, I blushed at my own wild thoughts; on the other hand, I felt a warm, comfortable sensation coming from my lower abdomen.

If she hadn't been trying her best to suppress it, she probably wouldn't have been able to help but let out a soft moan.

Half an hour later.

Xia An withdrew his hand, and while removing the needles, explained the order of needle removal to Luo Yunshu.

And the key points of needle removal.

Soon, after removing the last needle, Xia An took Luo Yue's pulse and smiled:

"The first treatment was effective. Continue taking the medication as prescribed, and have acupuncture again in ten days."

"Remember, it's best to sleep in a separate room from Brother Xie during treatment..."

"No matter how urgent it is, it's not in this month's rush."

Luo Yue blushed slightly, then quickly nodded and smiled, "Xia Zhiqing, I know."

The three of them walked out of the inner room.

"Brother Xia, is it over?"

Wei Shanghua smiled and said,

Xia An smiled and nodded, "I apologize for keeping you waiting. I apologize for any shortcomings in my hospitality."

"What are you saying, Brother Xia? Let alone just a short while, even if it's ten days or half a month, I'd still wait."

Wei Shanghua shook his head and smiled, "Besides, Brother Xia is busy with important matters."

Xia An smiled. From what he could see so far, this kid wasn't bad at all.

Unfortunately, his skill "Heart-to-Heart Seal" only works on the opposite sex; otherwise, he wouldn't have to worry about all sorts of random things.

He sat down and smiled, "Brother Shanghua, did you go back and see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor for acupuncture and treatment?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Shanghua looked helpless, shook his head, and smiled bitterly.

"Brother Xia, I can't find it!"

"Can't find it?" Xia An was slightly surprised and somewhat doubtful.

"There should be plenty of experienced traditional Chinese medicine doctors these days, so why can't we find one?"

"It's not that we can't find them," Sun Qian explained with a wry smile, "but rather that those who do find them, upon hearing about Comrade Wei's condition, are all afraid to administer acupuncture."

"They all say that acupuncture for acute myocardial infarction is too risky, and that it could be life-threatening if you're not careful, so they're afraid to do it!"

Hearing this, Xia An was slightly taken aback, then shook his head and smiled.

That's certainly true.

If it weren't for his top-notch medical skills and experience in this area, he wouldn't have dared to perform acupuncture on such a difficult and complicated case.

If you're not careful, someone could really die.

Xia An smiled and said, "It's fine if you don't need acupuncture. Just keep taking the medicine. It'll just take a little longer to recover."

Upon hearing this, Wei Shanghua and the other two hesitated, as if they had something to say.
