Xia An arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, only to find Wen Min standing not far away, carrying a canvas bag.

Upon seeing him arrive, she quickly walked over.

"Xia, the educated youth, who is that?"

"The person in charge of the health center," Xia An replied casually, but a strange look appeared in his eyes.

What's going on with this woman?

Was he deliberately waiting for him here?

Moreover, in just this short time, his infatuation level actually increased to a level of liking?

Wenmin asked curiously, "He seemed quite enthusiastic towards you. How did Xia, the educated youth, meet him?"

"I agreed to become a barefoot doctor, and I needed to register at the health center, that's how we met,"

Xia An casually replied, then gave her a half-smile.

"Wen, the educated youth, waited here specifically for me just to find out this?"

"Could it be that she's taken a liking to Assistant Wei?"

"I have to remind you, he's married."

Wen Min's expression changed slightly. "What is Xia Zhiqing talking about? I'm just a little curious."

"Besides, compared to this person, isn't Xia Zhiqing much better?"

As she spoke, her face flushed slightly, as if her words made her a little uncomfortable.

Xia An scrutinized her, shook his head slightly, and said meaningfully,

"We were both sent-down youth, but distant water can't quench immediate thirst. I'm not so lucky."

Wen Min frowned slightly. "What does Xia Zhiqing mean by that?"

"What do you mean?" Xia An shook his head, feigning ignorance.

Wen Min looked suspicious, but she couldn't detect anything unusual on Xia An's face.

At this moment, Xia An looked up at the sky, shook his head, and said...

"Wen, I have to go back after buying some things, so I won't talk to you anymore."

After saying that, he walked directly into the supply and marketing cooperative.

Wenmin watched him go inside carrying his basket, her eyes flickering with uncertainty.

I don't know what she's thinking.

Xia An strolled around the supply and marketing cooperative and bought some daily necessities.

For example, playing cards, seasonings, etc.

I bought a stack of old newspapers; these can be used to paste on the walls to reduce friction and dust shedding.

Finally, I bought another pot and put it upside down on the basket.

The clinic also needs a pot to boil water for sterilizing equipment, so that Luo Yunshu and her partner can cook something to eat in their spare time.

As they walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative, they found that Wenmin was still waiting there.

He raised an eyebrow slightly. "Who is Wen, the educated youth, waiting for? Why aren't you going to the guesthouse to rest?"

Wenmin shook her head, giving an irrelevant answer.

"I see Xia, the educated youth, bought quite a lot. How do you plan to get back?"

"Let's go back!"

Xia An struck up a casual conversation, but always sensed that this woman was somewhat scheming, and didn't want to get too involved.

But this woman was also incredibly beautiful, which made him waver slightly.

Therefore, there was no explicit rejection.

Wen Min glanced at the basket Xia An was carrying, her face showing suspicion.

"Is Xia, the educated youth, joking? Carrying all this stuff back?"

"I've heard Anping Village is quite a distance, are you sure you can carry it all the way back?"

"nature,"

Xia An smiled and nodded. "If there's nothing else, Wen, I'll be going now."

Wen Min frowned slightly, sensing that Xia An seemed somewhat cold towards her.

This was completely unlike how he treated Ye Qingxuan and the others.

Seeing him leave immediately, Wenmin quickly took a few steps forward to catch up and said:

"Xia, it's a bit inconvenient for me to live alone in the guesthouse."

"Could we go back together and stay temporarily at the educated youth settlement, then return to Lijiatun tomorrow?"

Xia An frowned slightly, her expression somewhat helpless, or rather, speechless.

"I need to walk back. How can you walk if you're not feeling well?"

"Besides, I heard that it's about ten miles from Anping Village to Lijia Village. What's the point of making this trip?"

"I..." Wenmin stammered, of course she knew that.

She hesitated for a moment and said, "We can go ask the people in the commune if there are any vehicles going there, or if any are going that way?"

"Besides, it wouldn't be easy for Xia, the educated youth, to walk back with such a heavy load on her back, would it?"

Xia An was speechless. "Wouldn't it be better for Wen, the educated youth, to stay at the guesthouse for one night and wait for the oxcart from Lijiatun to come tomorrow? Why make things so complicated?"

Wenmin shook her head and sighed softly.

"I'm not sure if anyone from Lijiatun will come tomorrow, or even who they will be."

"I'm a little worried. Compared to them, I'm more willing to trust Xia Zhiqing."

Xia An frowned. Was this woman really being forced into marriage?

She was worried that the people from Lijiatun would try to force her into marriage again tomorrow.

For example, even without creating a bad reputation for intimate contact, one can still spread rumors.

He remained silent for a moment, with Wenmin following closely behind him.

She looked at Xia An with her beautiful eyes, seemingly hoping for his agreement.

Xia An glanced at her, her eyes flickering slightly, and asked in a low voice:

"Wen, are the team members from Lijiatun really that difficult to get along with?"

Wen Min's expression faltered slightly, and after a moment of struggle, she sighed and said:

"Before us, all the other female educated youth had gotten married, but the three of us..."

As she spoke, her expression darkened further, and her voice lowered slightly.

"They said that if matchmaking fails, they will isolate us. Of the three female educated youths who went this time, the other two are already wavering."

Hearing this, Xia An's eyes flickered slightly. It seemed that Anping Village didn't have a good atmosphere.

That's really great!

Apart from the first female educated youth who encountered problems, the others are still safe and sound.

He looked at Wenmin, "Didn't you think of coming to the commune or the educated youth office to report this?"

Wen Min smiled wryly, "What are you reporting? They're just doing normal matchmaking and conducting business."

"Without evidence, what can we use to report it? And how can we be sure the commune isn't turning a blind eye?"

Xia An raised an eyebrow. "Are the people in the commune alright? They should be..."

But before he could finish speaking, Wenmin shook her head and smiled bitterly, her voice low and soft.

"The educated youth from Xia and the older educated youth from Lijiatun tried it, but they got married?"

"If this continues, we'll either follow in their footsteps, or..."

As she spoke, her eyes dimmed, but a hint of madness lurked deep within them.

Xia An possesses exceptional acting skills and is naturally adept at interpreting various expressions and mannerisms.

Therefore, I also saw a hint of madness deep in her eyes.

Ye Qingxuan's words to him, telling him to stay away from Wen Min, unconsciously flashed through his mind. It seemed that Ye Qingxuan must know something.

He hesitated for a moment, then sighed, "I'll take you to ask about a car."

"good!"

Wenmin's face lit up slightly, but not much; the worry in her eyes remained.

Actually, if she could, she wouldn't want to go back to Lijiatun.

But eventually we have to go back.

Instead of waiting for the people from Lijiatun tomorrow, we might as well follow Xia An for a while.

Follow up...

If possible, we could ask Xia An to take her back; perhaps that would...

As Wen Min thought to herself, she unconsciously glanced at Xia An, her face slightly flushed.

Xia An also noticed this.

But he merely raised an eyebrow slightly, pretending not to see it, and didn't ask any further questions.

The two were just about to ask where they could find a car to Anping Village.

Or perhaps a ride that's going the same way.

Just then, a slightly surprised voice came from not far away.
