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

Xie family,

Only Luo Yunshu was in the courtyard; the others were nowhere to be found.

Upon seeing Xia An enter, Luo Yunshu's face lit up with joy, and she quickly went to greet him.

"Xia An, what did you do today? You look so tired!"

Seeing Xia An drenched in sweat, a pang of heartache flashed in her eyes.

She quickly took out a handkerchief, intending to wipe Xia An's face.

Xia An quickly waved her hand, "No need, I just came back to rest for a bit, and I'll grab a couple of packs of cigarettes to share. I still have things to do."

As he spoke, he scooped some water into a kettle, but actually tossed it into his spatial storage.

The water outside really doesn't taste as good as the water in the spiritual spring space.

Even the ordinary water in the spiritual spring space tastes better than the water in Anping Village.

Luo Yunshu was surprised, "Brother Xia An, it's almost time to get off work, are you still busy?"

Xia An nodded.

"I was actually chopping firewood in the mountains the past two days. Today, to save time, I carried all the chopped firewood to the edge of the forest."

"This way, we can keep working even after dark, without having to go deep into the mountains and forests."

Hearing this, Luo Yunshu felt somewhat helpless.

"Brother Xia An, why are you working so hard? Wouldn't it be enough to just memorize a little bit every day?"

Xia An shook her head, "I had a feeling it was going to rain, so I wanted to bring it back as soon as possible."

"It's not good to leave firewood in the mountains, as it gets wet, making it difficult to carry and burn."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yunshu nodded slightly, but then shook her head.

"The weather looks pretty nice; it shouldn't rain, right?"

"It's time to log off."

Xia An smiled and said, "Although the weather is pleasant, the crops in the fields are a bit dry. If it doesn't rain soon, everyone will have to fetch water."

Luo Yunshu nodded, "It's very possible to fetch water, but whether it rains or not is up to fate."

Xia An shook his head and smiled, secretly thinking: Actually, this could also be my business.

More than three days have passed since I used "My Heart is the Heart of Heaven", and there are still more than three days left.

He plans to stop when he goes to sleep today, and there will be three more localized effects remaining.

If it doesn't rain by noon tomorrow, he plans to bring rain to Anping Village.

After all, he had already delayed the rain in Anping Village for more than three days.

"Let's not talk about that anymore. While there's still time, I'll try my best to carry it back."

As Xia An spoke, he went inside, grabbed three packs of Daqianmen cigarettes, and prepared to leave with his water bottle.

Luo Yunshu quickly said:

"Brother Xia An, let me help you!"

Xia An shook her head. "I was preparing firewood for myself and them. What are you going to help with?"

"I don't care!"

Luo Yunshu gave a soft snort.

Xia An shook his head and smiled, then said nothing more.

The two arrived at Luo Yunshu's house, and she followed with a basket on her back.

We arrived outside the educated youth settlement.

Ye Wan'er quickly stepped forward, "Xia Zhiqing, where are you all going?"

"Let's go to the edge of the mountains and forests," Xia An said with a smile.

Ye Wan'er nodded slightly, then bit her lower lip and blushed as she said:

"Xia, when is your acupuncture session today?"

Xia An paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Later, I need to bring back some firewood."

Ye Wan'er nodded, "Then I'll go help you, I can lend a hand."

Xia An shook her head slightly, "You're not feeling well right now, you should get some rest."

Upon hearing this, Ye Wan'er's face flushed slightly, and a hint of disappointment appeared in her eyes.

At this moment, Xia An thought of something.

"If you're a little bored, why don't you go and heat the kang (heated brick bed) in the courtyard?"

"The house's finishing touches are all done; Uncle Luo says we can start heating the kang (heated brick bed) now."

"Let's heat up the kang (heated brick bed), and then we'll go and sign the agreement later, and then you can move in."

Upon hearing this, Ye Wan'er's face lit up with joy. "I'll go right away."

As he spoke, he quickly walked out of the educated youth settlement and came to the two of them.

Luo Yunshu blinked, looking puzzled, while a sense of crisis surged within her.

"Brother Xia An, what's going on?"

Xia An smiled and offered a brief explanation.

"Didn't An Zhiqing ask about my housing before? They came to see me yesterday."

"They said the educated youth settlement was a bit crowded, and they wanted two people to rent a room with me."

"I felt there was no point in leaving the house empty, so I thought I'd rent it out to recoup some of my investment, and that's why I agreed."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yunshu was startled and gave Ye Wan'er a deep look.

What are these two women trying to do?

She looked worried and said, "Wouldn't it be inappropriate to let them rent your house?"

"If there's gossip or anything in the village, wouldn't that be bad for you, Brother Xia'an?!"

Xia An was about to explain,

But Ye Wan'er smiled slightly and explained:

"Comrade Luo is overthinking it."

"I share an apartment with Sister Anlan, so why would there be any gossip?"

"Could people possibly say that something happened between us and Xia, the educated youth?"

Luo Yunshu frowned.

She wholeheartedly agreed with these words; wasn't it all she wanted to do?

Who knows what these two are thinking?

"alright,"

Xia An smiled and said, "Yun Shu, don't overthink it. I've already said this to Uncle Xie."

"He said if I were renting a place alone, he would offer me some advice."

"But if it's just two people, he feels it's unnecessary, and the team members wouldn't be so free."

Luo Yunshu hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

She understood that if the two of them rented a place together, the team members wouldn't have much free time.

but,

Having learned from Li Yuxue's example, she now feels very averse to Ye Wan'er and An Lan.

It can be said that they were extremely vigilant.

She hesitated for a moment, "Brother Xia An, it's better to be safe than sorry."

"It wouldn't be good if it caused trouble. How about we let them rent my house?"

Xia An was slightly surprised. Back then, this girl was unwilling to rent a room when faced with Ye Qingxuan and the others.

Why are you willing now?

Before he could think further, Ye Wan'er smiled slightly and her soft voice rang out.

"Thank you for your kind offer, Comrade Luo, but now that we've already approached Xia, there's no reason for us to back out halfway."

"Moreover, this place is close to the educated youth settlement, which makes it easier to manage."

Luo Yunshu frowned, becoming increasingly wary as she looked at Ye Wan'er.

This woman rejected me so quickly?

She definitely has feelings for Xia An, and probably harbors feelings for Ye Qingxuan and the others as well.

"Being near the water tower gives you an advantage, right?"

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."

Xia An waved her hand and said, "Let's go first, and get some rest as soon as we finish our work."

With that, he lifted his foot and walked forward.

Luo Yunshu gave Ye Wan'er a deep look before quickly following.

Ye Wan'er chuckled inwardly. Did they really think they could stop her from getting close to Xia Zhiqing?

That's impossible!

at this time,

Xia An and his team have finished processing their work; all the waste and garbage have been cleaned up.

Everyone was busy at the clinic, and the thirty-odd people were working in an orderly manner.

Xia An offered cigarettes to the busy crowd, then asked with a smile:

"Third Uncle, is it ready over there?"

"That's fine," Uncle Luo said with a smile. "Go heat up the kang (heated brick bed), and we can move in later."

"But now that we're heating the kang (a traditional heated brick bed), it might get a bit hot if we move in at night."

Xia An nodded, "Thank you, Third Uncle. Let's go take a look."

As he spoke, he led Luo Yunshu and the other person to the courtyard next door.

There were two gates on the south side of the courtyard wall, one on the east and one on the west, both made of wooden fences.

The two halls and five houses are connected as one, with three outer doors and seven windows.

Each of the two main rooms had an outer kitchen built on its side.

Xia An nodded slightly.

But looking at the two small kitchens, he was slightly puzzled and hesitated.

"Two stoves, but I wonder which fire walls and kang (heated brick bed) they're connected to?"
