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

Upon hearing Xia An's words, a young man next to the clinic smiled and spoke up:

"Xia Zhiqing, both kang beds are connected to three fire walls and all the kang beds, so you can heat either one."

Hearing this, Xia An understood, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Thanks, bro!"

"You're too kind, Xia!"

The young man responded with a single sentence, and without further delay, continued working.

Xia An looked at Ye Wan'er and said, "In that case, Wan'er, you can burn any kind of firewood. There's plenty of firewood in the southwest corner of the wall."

"good!"

Ye Wan'er nodded.

Xia An looked at Luo Yunshu and said, "Yunshu, you stay here and help out. I'll go."

"I'll help you!"

Luo Yunshu shook her head, her expression resolute.

Seeing this, Xia An shook her head, "Whatever you want, just don't tire yourself out."

As he spoke, he led her out of the courtyard and towards the northern mountains and forests.

quickly,

After entering the forest for about 20 or 30 meters, the two arrived at their destination.

Seeing the pile of firewood and branches that had formed a small hill, Luo Yunshu looked surprised.

"Brother Xia An, did you carry all of this all the way from the mountains?"

"Um."

Xia An nodded, "Just carry more each time and walk faster."

Luo Yunshu nodded, a hint of shock in her eyes. How heavy must that be?

Or how fast should we go?

Xia An smiled, filled a basket to the brim, and then filled Luo Yunshu's basket halfway.

"Since you want to get tired, then come on, I'll carry it for you first."

Luo Yunshu frowned. "Brother Xia An, are you looking down on me? How come there's only half a basket?"

Xia An shook her head and chuckled, "Don't be silly! Forty pounds is a lot."

"Besides, am I looking down on you? I just don't want you to be tired."

"I didn't even want you to come, but you insisted on tiring yourself out. Do you think that's appropriate?"

Luo Yunshu blushed slightly and slung the basket Xia An had brought over her shoulder.

My heart was pounding like a deer. Did Xia An not want me to get tired because he cared about me?

Her mind was wandering with all sorts of thoughts.

But then Xia An picked up his basket, casually tossed it onto his back, and carried it with ease and grace.

Immediately, he picked up the long stick next to him, lifted up the two bundles of firewood, and carried them up.

Looking at his relaxed and carefree demeanor, Luo Yunshu's eyes widened in even greater shock.

Her face flushed even more, and she exclaimed inwardly, "Xia An is so amazing!"

"Let's go."

Xia An smiled. "What are you standing there for? Get there earlier, you'll be less tired, don't you know?"

"oh oh,"

Luo Yunshu snapped out of her daze, nodded quickly, and then strode forward.

Xia An followed closely behind.

But to be honest, Luo Yunshu really did interfere with his work a little.

The girl wasn't walking very fast, which slowed him down and delayed his progress.

But he couldn't say much about it, after all, it was Luo Yunshu's intention.

moment,

Back in the courtyard, Xia An put down the firewood and helped Luo Yunshu put down her basket.

Immediately, he picked up his basket and put it down, quite easily.

He looked at the fine beads of sweat on Luo Yunshu's forehead, a hint of pity flashing in his eyes.

"Okay, I'll go now. Just wait for me here, okay?"

Luo Yunshu shook her head, a stubborn glint in her eyes.

"I want to help you!"

Xia An was about to offer some advice when he heard Luo Shutong's voice coming from the neighboring courtyard.

"Yun Shu, listen to him."

Luo Yunshu turned her head.

But Luo Shutong shook his head. "Xia Zhiqing is easy to carry. Your presence actually slows him down."

Luo Yunshu was slightly taken aback, and looked at Xia An with a puzzled expression.

"Brother Xia An, am I...?"

"No!"

Xia An shook his head, wanting to pat her head, but felt the occasion was a bit inappropriate.

He smiled and said, "You don't want me to tire myself out, and I don't want you to tire yourself out either. How about we wait for me here?"

"If you can't stay idle, you can help me build firewood here."

Luo Yunshu hesitated for a moment, "Then carry less, don't tire yourself out."

"good!"

Xia An agreed, emptied the firewood from his basket, and left with the basket on his back.

Luo Yunshu glanced at the people bustling around the clinic, then looked at Luo Shutong.

She hesitated for a moment, wondering whether she should ask for help.

But then Luo Shutong shouted loudly:

"There are too many people. Send a few young men to help Xia, the educated youth, carry the firewood back."

"Alright!"

Seven or eight young men came out and went home to get their baskets.

Seeing this, Luo Yunshu smiled and said, "Third Uncle, thank you."

Luo Shutong glanced at her, a playful smile on his face, and teased her:

"Yun Shu, this is to help Xia Zhiqing, it's not appropriate for you to say thank you."

Luo Yunshu blushed instantly. "Third Uncle, I...I didn't..."

Uncle Luo smiled and said, "Alright, I'll stop teasing you. I'll send someone over to help you build it."

Luo Yunshu nodded and did not refuse.

Xia An naturally heard Luo Shutong's shouts as well, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

He glanced back at the young men who had run into the village, and slowed his pace slightly.

Regardless of Uncle Luo's true intentions, his desire to help was genuine.

The young people's positive attitude is genuine; the atmosphere in this village is quite good.

Of course, it was him.

If a different educated youth were in this situation, things might not be the same.

quickly,

Eight young men carrying baskets on their backs caught up, laughing as they spoke:

"Xia, wait for us."

"I'm waiting!"

Xia An laughed and said, "If I hadn't been waiting for you, I would have already gone into the mountains."

As he spoke, he took out the remaining half pack of cigarettes and handed it to the young man behind him.

"What's your name?"

The young man took out a cigarette, handed the pack to the person behind him, and smiled:

"Xia, the educated youth, my name is Luo Jian."

"I'm the third child in my family. You can call me by my name or 'Third Child' if you like."

"Luo Jian?" Xia An was slightly surprised. "You're Luo Jian, brother?"

"Has Xia, the educated youth, heard of me?"

Luo Jian was slightly surprised.

Although Xia An frequently offered cigarettes these past few days, he didn't talk to them much.

It's the kind of relationship where you know him, but don't know his name.

But now it seems that Xia Zhiqing knew his name, but didn't know him before?

Xia An smiled and said, "Aunt Guihua mentioned it briefly before."

"They say Li Xiuyu joked with you and got scolded by Aunt Xiuqin."

Upon hearing this, Luo Jian's lips twitched slightly, and his expression became somewhat embarrassed.

Li Xiuyu's reputation wasn't great to begin with, and this time she's gotten herself into even more trouble.

Although it wouldn't lead to imprisonment, it was still a consequence of the commune uncovering her involvement as a prostitute.

I heard they were all sent to the forest farm for redevelopment.

Now that Xia An has suddenly brought this up, how could he not feel embarrassed?

Luo Jian remained silent, but the others behind him burst into laughter.

"Luo Laosan, you've become famous now."

"Ha ha…"

"Not bad, hahaha..."

Luo Jian shook his head. "Stop laughing, or I'll reveal something."

Upon hearing this, the others froze, and all fell silent.

We all grew up together, we all know each other, and we all have our embarrassing moments.

Xia An smiled knowingly. "You have some gossip to share. Tell me about it."

Luo Jian's expression turned slightly serious, but he quickly smiled and said:

"Xia, let's go carry the firewood first. There are so many of us here, we can definitely carry it all back in one go."

"Just once?"

Xia An gave him a meaningful look, then chuckled softly.

"Although I don't know how strong you are, I have high hopes for you."

Seeing his smile, Luo Jian didn't feel any sternness, but a hint of doubt flashed through his mind.

Did he say something wrong?
