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

"Xia, the educated youth?"

Hearing the slightly familiar yet unfamiliar voice, Xia An raised an eyebrow slightly.

He turned his head and looked about ten meters away, only to see two people he recognized.

It was Li Fugui and his nephew!

He had just been talking to Wenmin, and since there were quite a few people around, he hadn't paid any special attention.

I didn't notice those two.

Seeing Xia An turn his head, Li Fugui's face lit up with joy, and he quickly drove the donkey cart over.

"Xia, it really is you! I thought I was seeing things!"

Li Fugui said with a smile

He took out a cigarette to offer to Xia An, but then suddenly remembered that Xia An didn't seem to smoke.

He paused, then awkwardly asked, "Xia, would you like one?"

"You are welcome."

Xia An shook his head, his gaze falling on Li Qingshan lying on the donkey cart.

"Are you here for a follow-up appointment?"

Li Fugui shook his head. "Old Zheng suggested we go back, but I didn't dare to make a fuss, so I stayed at the health center for a few days."

"He seemed much better today, so I thought I'd take him back and borrowed a donkey cart."

Xia An nodded slightly, looking at Li Qingshan, whose complexion had improved considerably, on the donkey cart.

"It does look much better, but a broken bone takes a hundred days to heal."

"Besides, given his condition, he should go back and rest well, and take his medicine on time."

"We understand," Li Fugui quickly nodded in agreement.

Immediately, he patted Li Qingshan on the shoulder, "Didn't you want to see Xia Zhiqing a long time ago? Why are you standing there dumbfounded?"

Li Qingshan snapped out of his daze. "Second Uncle, is he the Xia educated youth who saved me?"

Li Fugui patted his head. "Who else could it be but him?"

Li Qingshan hurriedly tried to get up, but Xia An's lips twitched, and he quickly waved his hand, saying:

"Don't move, just lie down."

Li Qingshan smiled awkwardly, "Xia Zhiqing, I'm... a little inconvenient right now. Once I'm better, I'll definitely come to thank you in person."

Xia An shook her head slightly, "Don't overthink it, just focus on recovering."

Li Qingshan nodded.

Li Fugui smiled and said, "Xia, it's almost noon, shall we go get something to eat?"

Xia An shook her head, "I just ate, you guys go ahead, I need to go back..."

He seemed to have thought of something, and his words stopped abruptly. He then said:

"I remember you're from Lijiatun?"

Li Fugui nodded.

"Yes, why is Xia Zhiqing asking this? Is there any instruction he needs?"

Xia An turned and glanced at Wen Min, who looked somewhat dazed, before saying:

"This is my... friend Wenmin, a recent educated youth from Lijiatun."

"She came to the health center for a checkup, but by the time the results came out, the oxcart had already left."

"We were just about to ask for a ride. Since we've run into you, could you please give her a ride?"

Upon hearing this, Li Fugui glanced at Wen Min with slight surprise.

He actually knew this person.

I was a little confused when I saw her following Xia An. I didn't expect the two of them to know each other.

"sure,"

Li Fugui quickly smiled and said, "Xia Zhiqing, your friend is equivalent to my friend, Li Fugui."

"This is nothing, Xia Zhiqing, why are you saying it's troublesome?"

"Thank you very much then." Xia An smiled slightly, then turned to look at Wen Min.

"Wen, these two are my... friends. You can go back with them. You don't need to come with me on this trip."

At this moment, Wenmin also came to her senses, her expression showing a hint of surprise.

"Xia, you know people from Lijiatun?"

Xia An smiled slightly.

But Li Fugui smiled and explained, "Xia Zhiqing saved my nephew before."

"Wen, you're Xia's friend, so you're a friend of my family, Li Fugui's family. You can rest assured and come back with us."

Hearing this, Wenmin's heart skipped a beat; how could she not understand?

Perhaps because she was close to Xia An, she found some support in Lijiatun?

A look of gratitude flashed in her eyes. "Thank you, Xia Zhiqing."

Xia An waved her hand, "You're welcome. You go back with them. I'm going back too."

Wen Min was about to nod when she suddenly remembered something and frowned slightly.

"Xia, you said you didn't have a car? Why didn't you take a longer route?"

Upon hearing this, Li Fugui asked in surprise, "Didn't Xia, the educated youth, take a ride here?"

Xia An nodded, "I came here on a whim, so not having a car is no problem."

Li Fugui frowned. "That won't do. Let us take you back first."

"Need not."

Xia An waved his hand and said, "It rained all day yesterday in Anping Village, so the donkey cart might have trouble traveling. It's more convenient for me to walk back."

Li Fugui frowned slightly. "Xia Zhiqing, are you carrying something on your back?"

"Besides, Anpingtun and Lijiatun are in the same direction, and there's a fork in the road along the way. Wouldn't it be okay to follow that road for a while?"

Xia An glanced at the three of them, feeling slightly helpless.

The donkey cart was very slow.

He prefers walking to taking a car, as it's much faster.

Moreover, when traveling alone, the items in the basket can be easily stored in the spatial storage.

What's with the question of whether it's heavy or not?

But if they refused Li Fugui and his nephew again, they would seem somewhat out of place.

He nodded slightly. "In that case, I'll leave it to you."

"But just give him a ride for a short distance; his condition shouldn't be put through too much trouble."

Li Fugui nodded with a smile, "That'll save you the trouble. I'll listen to Xia Zhiqing."

The donkey cart sets off!

Xia An took Li Qingshan's pulse for a follow-up examination and confirmed that there was nothing wrong.

This made Li Fugui feel more at ease.

Wenmin watched the three of them chatting and laughing, a strange light flickering in her eyes, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

Nearly an hour later,

The donkey cart approached an intersection.

Looking at the drastically different soil moisture on both sides, Li Fugui said with surprise and doubt,

"Yesterday's rain was strange; the villagers said it rained mainly in the direction of Anping Village."

"In our Lijiatun area, only a portion of the crops were rained on, as if there was some kind of dividing line."

Xia An feigned surprise.

"When it rains, it's normal for things to be a little strange sometimes, isn't it?"

Li Fugui shook his head, "Xia Zhiqing, you don't understand, this kind of situation, where there's a clear boundary and it's been raining for a whole day without moving..."

Even the elderly people in the village have never seen it before, and they're all very curious about it.

Xia An's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't pay much attention to it.

The skill "My heart is the heart of heaven" does indeed have a slightly mystical feel to it.

But so what if outsiders have doubts?

Who would have guessed that he was the one who brought rain on behalf of the people?

"alright,"

Xia An smiled and said, "If I remember correctly, this is the fork in the road leading to the two villages. Let's part ways here."

Upon hearing this, Li Fugui frowned slightly.

"Xia, how about we take you back? It's at least eight or nine li from here to Anping Village."

Xia An shook her head, "No need, this road is difficult to walk on after it just rained."

"Besides, your nephew's health really isn't suited to being overly stressed."

Hearing this, Li Fugui glanced at the pale-faced Li Qingshan and nodded helplessly.

"In that case, I won't try to persuade you anymore. Xia, be careful on your journey."

"Um!"

Xia An nodded, slung his basket over his shoulder, and strode towards Anping Village.

Only after watching him until he was quite a distance away did Li Fugui drive the donkey cart onto another road.

He said casually, "Wen, I see you and Xia have a good relationship?"

Wen Min's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and she nodded, saying, "It's alright. Why did Uncle Li ask that?"
