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

Li Fugui glanced at Wen Min with a half-smile, as if trying to see through her.

From their conversation just now, how could he not see that their relationship was just ordinary?

Even just acquaintances?

If they were truly close, why didn't Wenmin ask Xia An for help?

Even if Xia An were in Anping Village, given his kindness to Li Fugui,

They would have helped if Xia An had just said a word, but they didn't!

Wenmin felt a little uneasy under his gaze, and couldn't help but feel more worried.

"Why is Uncle Li looking at me like that?"

"It's nothing," Li Fugui shook his head slightly, his voice calm.

"Since you are Xia Zhiqing's friend, I will put in a good word for you when I get back, but only for people on my side."

Wen Min's face lit up slightly, and she quickly thanked him, "Thank you, Uncle Li."

Li Fugui nodded slightly and said nothing more.

If Wen Min is truly Xia An's friend, or even her boyfriend,

He had many ways to prevent Wenmin from being isolated by the others in Lijiatun, but she didn't.

In that case, he can just casually take care of things, and that will be about it.

Wenmin also noticed the unusual change in the two men's attitude towards her, and sighed inwardly.

But at the same time, he also felt a greater sense of curiosity and gratitude towards Xia An.

There was a hint of something else going on.

……

The old city of Beijing

Inside the steel rolling mill, the workers were working enthusiastically.

A young girl was struggling to carry things to the workshop, her forehead covered in sweat and her face flushed.

Just then, a middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit walked over with his men.

"Su Su, come here for a moment."

Upon hearing this, the young woman looked up and saw the middle-aged man, then quickly nodded and said:

"Director, I'm coming right away."

As he spoke, he was about to put the things aside.

The middle-aged man glanced at the woman beside him and calmly gave the order.

"You took over her job before, and you'll be in this position from now on."

"good!"

The woman looked slightly reluctant, but did not refute it.

Su Su was stunned, her small hands twisting the hem of her clothes, and she said uneasily:

"Director Xing...Director Xing, did I do something wrong?"

Director Xing shook his head and smiled. "Don't be nervous. You're a bit too young. I'll arrange for you to work in the mailroom; it'll be more relaxed there."

Su Su blinked, looking somewhat puzzled, and wondered to herself.

Why did she feel that Director Xing was acting a little strange today?

Also, the person who arranged it for her when she first came to register didn't seem to have said that.

"Come with me."

Director Xing greeted her with a smile, and Su Su quickly followed.

As the two left, the workers looked surprised and began to whisper among themselves.

"What the heck?!"

"Isn't Su Su Su Su Zhan's daughter? How come Director Xing personally arranged her work?"

"Isn't this just personally standing up for her and supporting her?"

"Is something fishy going on?"

"Nothing fishy, ​​it's just a connection."

"Oh? Dog Egg, you know?"

"I know a little, but I'm telling you, don't spread it around."

"Go ahead and tell me, who has the time to spread rumors?"

Dog Egg didn't think much of it and whispered:

"I just heard from my cousin that the director received a phone call."

"They said it was an official letter from the Heilongjiang Military Region, saying that Xia An is a key young cadre being cultivated by Heilongjiang Province, and that they heard his family is here, so they asked them to take care of him."

"Xia An?" someone exclaimed in surprise. "Isn't that Su Zhan's adopted son?"

"What did that kid do to earn such high praise from the provincial military region?"

"Regardless of what a person does, just know that they've made something of themselves."

Someone chuckled and said, "Some people want to make plans for the Su family, but they have to think carefully."

Upon hearing this, everyone gave a half-smile and continued working.

Some people looked slightly stern, kept their heads down and remained silent, simply focusing on their work.

……

Textile factory,

Su Lin was also approached by the director and given a more relaxed job.

As she listened to the discussions of those in the know, her beautiful eyes reddened slightly, and she murmured softly:

"Xiao An has really made something of himself."

……

Compared to the two people on the other side, the discussions in the steel mill's residential compound were even more intense.

Just because Han Qiuyue had seen off a military officer who had come to visit her,

They said they came to visit Han Qiuyue on behalf of their former leader.

He also said that if I needed anything, I could go to him, and he would do his best to help.

At first, everyone was a little confused.

But the officer inadvertently mentioned Xia An, which made the neighbors understand what was going on.

For a time,

The neighbors gossiped, looking at Han Qiuyue with envy.

Some who had initially hoped to take advantage of the fact that there were no male members in the Su family at home and wanted to borrow money have now restrained their inappropriate thoughts.

Han Qiuyue's eyes reddened as she saw off her neighbors, then sat alone in the courtyard.

"Honey, Sister Luo..."

"Xiao An has really made something of himself; he can protect us now."

"You all watch over him from heaven, you must protect him well."

……

Xia An was unaware of, and had no way of knowing, what was happening in Beijing.

Less than half an hour later, he was back in his yard.

He placed the basket in his main room and couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"If we were to take a donkey cart, it might take more than an hour to get there, let alone a donkey cart carrying Li Qingshan."

He took the iron pot down and retrieved the items he had bought from his spatial storage.

Then, he took out two sets of clothes that fit him and placed them on the kang (a heated brick bed).

They also took out fifty catties of polished rice, fifty catties of wheat flour, and fifty catties of sweet potatoes.

Next, five catties each of tomatoes, bell peppers, Shanghai bok choy, green beans, eggplants, cucumbers, and spinach were taken out and placed in the main room.

As for Chinese cabbage, carrots, and scallions, they are not yet available at this time of year.

So he didn't take it out.

I was planning to take out a few pounds of donkey meat, two roast chickens, and two roast ducks.

But considering the July weather, I decided to take it out later to avoid it spoiling.

After he picked him up and brought him back, Bai Ling, who had followed him, arrived at the clinic with an iron pot, a spatula, and a set of seasonings.

Looking at the two people drying herbs in the yard, he chuckled:

"Are you busy?"

"Brother Xia An, you're back?"

Luo Yunshu looked delighted and quickly stepped forward to take the things from Xia An's hands.

"Isn't there one? Brother Xia An, you bought another new one?"

Xia An nodded, "Sometimes we use the iron pot to sterilize it with boiling water."

"Besides, you can also cook your meals here, which is more convenient."

"This…"

Luo Yunshu shook her head and smiled, "Disinfection is fine, but cooking isn't necessary. We can just eat at home."

As she spoke, she suddenly remembered something and quickly added:

"Brother Xia An, have you eaten yet? I'll go make you something now."

"have eaten,"

Xia An quickly waved her hand and said, "I ran into Assistant Wei at the commune, so we ate something together."

"If you haven't eaten yet, hurry up and make something. Go to my main room and get the food."

Luo Yunshu and the other woman both shook their heads, "No need, we just ate not long ago."

Xia An nodded slightly. "It's fine now that you've eaten. Will anyone come to check on you after I leave?"
