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

Kong Qingci was slightly taken aback by Xia An's confidence.

The experience of the elderly in the village, while not necessarily very accurate, is said to be about 70-80% reliable.

But judging from Xia An's attitude, it seemed like she was 100% sure.

Can you really tell if a baby is a boy or a girl just by looking at their pulse?

She shook her head and turned back to continue preparing today's ingredients.

Soon,

When Luo Yunshu returned, she asked the same question as Kong Qingci.

Xia An smiled slightly.

"It can be determined by the pulse, which I will teach you later, but publicly we can only say that it can only be determined in the last two months before delivery, understand?"

Luo Yunshu was slightly taken aback. "Brother Xia An, are you saying that pregnancy can be confirmed immediately after conception?"

"Um!"

Xia An nodded slightly, "You can roughly confirm a pregnancy after two months."

As he spoke, his expression became more serious.

"But as a doctor, a single sentence you utter could directly lead to a miscarriage."

"That's depriving a baby of its right to be born; it's against nature and morality. Do you understand?"

Luo Yunshu nodded quickly, her expression becoming more serious and earnest.

"Brother Xia An, I know what's important."

"That's good," Xia An nodded slightly, then hesitated and said...

How many midwives are there in Anping Village?

Luo Yunshu was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting Xia An to change the subject so quickly.

But she didn't hesitate and quickly replied, "It's just Aunt Xiuqin and Sister Xianglan."

"The year before last, the commune health center asked each village to send someone to train midwives. The team headquarters recommended Sister Xianglan to go and learn."

"But Sister Xianglan only learned a little bit and didn't dare to deliver babies alone."

"She usually followed Aunt Xiuqin, who also taught her her experience."

"It's much better now. Although Sister Xianglan is still a bit rusty, she can take over the work now."

As she spoke, she looked at Xia An with a puzzled expression and asked:

"Brother Xia An, why are you asking this?"

Xia An shook her head slightly. "If you're curious, what's their relationship?"

"Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!"

Luo Yunshu shrugged and said, "Sister Xianglan is Aunt Xiuqin's eldest daughter-in-law."

Xia An nodded slightly, as if she vaguely understood something.

I had intended to teach Luo Yunshu this knowledge, but I decided to postpone it for now.

Teaching midwifery would somewhat cut off those two's source of income.

Alternatively, if possible, we could train Xianglan later.

If babies can be born safely without any problems, it will reduce the burden on doctors.

Luo Yunshu glanced at Xia An thoughtfully, then hesitated and said:

"You don't happen to know about childbirth and want to teach me, do you?"

Xia An glanced at her, smiled slightly, and nodded.

"I'll teach you when I have time, but you can take over when I need your help."

"Don't compete with others for tasks; it's easy to offend people and create more trouble."

Luo Yunshu blinked, understanding what Xia An meant, and quickly nodded.

"I understand."

"But, it's amazing that Brother Xia An even knows this."

Xia An smiled and said, "I know a little about both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, including childbirth."

As he spoke, he glanced at Luo Yunshu's flushed cheeks and slightly strange look in her eyes, and couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.

"Don't look at me like that. It's all thanks to my master."

"I currently only have a wealth of theoretical knowledge, but I have never delivered a baby."

"That's still very impressive." Luo Yunshu smiled shyly.

Immediately, he stood up and said, "Brother Xia An, I'll go help first."

As he spoke, he quickly walked into the neighboring yard.

Xia An smiled slightly and glanced around the courtyard.

"Something seems to be missing."

"How about getting a recliner? That way, I can relax a bit when I'm not working?"

Thinking about this, Xia An felt a little uneasy, but after some consideration, he decided to give up for the time being.

Everyone is busy with farming, so it doesn't seem appropriate to make him a reclining chair so he can relax.

He glanced outside the courtyard. "I wonder if Yuxue's household registration transfer went smoothly?"

He sighed softly.

It would have been better if he had gone along with it.

But unfortunately, his identity is not quite right.

Time slips away quietly.

The sound of a gong came from afar, announcing the end of the workday.

Not long after.

Ye Qingxuan and the others returned.

Jiang Mengmeng and the others were somewhat reluctant to accept Kong Qingci and Luo Yunshu's request.

Only An Lan and Ye Qingxuan seemed completely unconcerned.

Or perhaps, they all succeeded and knew the man's true nature.

I simply stopped caring.

At most, they would reject those who deliberately approached Xia An with ill intentions, or those of questionable character.

These two people, however, do not seem to be.

After discussing it, Ye Qingxuan and the other five finally agreed.

The two of them assigned Xia An 3 work points each day, and at the end of the year, they had Accountant Kong directly allocate the remaining points.

suitable!

Anyway, their whole courtyard is just a result of Xia An's influence and they all rely on Xia An.

Not only were the meals excellent, but Xia An was also given the most tiring tasks, such as carrying water and chopping wood.

Xia An didn't object, and they seemed to have no reason to object either.

Besides, Luo Yunshu and Kong Qingci have time to cook dinner since they've come to join us.

On the contrary, they are the ones who need to go to work.

Besides cooking, washing dishes, cleaning the yard, and doing laundry, what else can they do?

All of them were aware of their own limitations and did not raise any objections.

As for the two people who were qualified to object—An Lan and Ye Qingxuan—they were actually the two who cared the least.

Having seen through Xia An, I couldn't be bothered to interfere any further.

We've eaten.

Xia An sat in the clinic with Luo Yunshu for a while, then closed the door and left.

"Brother Xia An, is today the last day you'll be giving Scarface acupuncture?"

Luo Yunshu smiled as she followed Xia An.

Xia An nodded.

"Yes, after work I just sit in the clinic as usual."

"You two be prepared. If no one invites you to make house calls later, you might not be able to leave until an hour after work."

The two nodded.

"Brother Xia An, we know."

After Xia An escorted the two back, he went straight to Scarface's house.

However, they encountered Yang Yanqiu and Chen Zhiyi at the intersection on the way to Scarface's house.

To be precise, the two of them probably knew he was coming and were waiting for him here on purpose.

Seeing the two blocking his way, Xia An smiled and said, "Comrade Yang, is there something you need?"

Chen Zhiyi's face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head in silence, seemingly lost in thought.

Yang Yanqiu glanced at the team members resting in the courtyard not far away, and said gently and gracefully:

"Xia Zhiqing, I haven't been feeling well lately, could you please take a look at me?"

Xia An nodded. "Give me your hand, let me take a look at the situation."

Yang Yanqiu reached out her hand, and Xia An raised his hand to support her delicate hand. After taking her pulse, he said:

"I have a minor problem; I think you need to rest. Do you need me to get you a sick leave certificate?"

Yang Yanqiu smiled and said, "Outside of busy farming seasons, during this special period, Captain Luo will grant us a day or two of leave if we want to."

"For serious cases, three or four days may be granted."

"We just finished weeding today. Next, we'll be forming a patrol team to guard the crops. It's not really our job, so it'll be easier to ask for leave."

"Or rather, there's no need to ask for leave."

Xia An nodded. "In that case, come to the clinic tomorrow morning and I'll prescribe some medicine for you."

"Okay," Yang Yanqiu nodded with a smile, "Thank you, Xia Zhiqing."

As she spoke, her gaze became deep and unfathomable.

"By the way, I might have to go to the commune. What time will Xia, the educated youth, be there tomorrow?"
