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

"What's wrong with Comrade Yang?"

Seeing Yang Yanqiu's stunned expression, Li Yuxue smiled and said, "We only chatted a few words last night, Comrade Yang, have you already forgotten me?"

Yang Yanqiu quickly shook his head.

She and Li Yuxue were practically strangers; they had only exchanged nods of acquaintance last night.

Why did this person suddenly start helping her?

and many more!

Yang Yanqiu glanced at Xia An and vaguely understood something.

She shook her head and smiled, "No, that's not true. I'm just a little surprised."

"I appreciate Comrade Li's kindness, but I think you must be busy with something. I'll just take Scarface's car."

But Xia An shook his head slightly, looked at Kong Yuming and asked with a smile:

"Brother Yuming, I don't see many people here. Should we let her come up?"

Kong Yuming hesitated. "It's possible, but my mission is to take you to the commune and bring back the medicinal herbs you purchased."

"If the weight becomes too heavy later, someone might need to walk it."

"After all, the oxen are the mainstay of the production team after the autumn harvest, so they can't be overworked."

Hearing this, Xia An smiled and nodded.

"I understand that."

"If Brother Yuming feels it's too heavy later, we can get off and walk for a while."

Kong Yuming shook his head. "What are you saying, Xia Zhiqing? It's not your turn to leave."

Then, he looked at Yang Yanqiu and said, "You're lucky, come on up."

"Thanks!"

Yang Yanqiu thanked her, took Xia An's outstretched hand, and got into the car.

She immediately sat down next to him and whispered, "Thank you, Xia Zhiqing!"

"You're welcome!"

Xia An smiled politely, neither appearing distant nor overly friendly.

Kong Yuming watched this scene as if he didn't see it, and smiled,

"Hold on tight."

The oxcart continued on its way...

Soon they arrived at the village entrance, where Scarface's oxcart was already packed with people.

Upon seeing Kong Yuming arrive by carriage, everyone was slightly taken aback.

Normally, only Scarface's old oxcart is used; other oxen won't carry people.

How are you today?

But when they noticed Xia An and Kong Qingci, they vaguely guessed what was going on.

"Yu Ming, Xia Zhiqing, are you also going to the commune?"

Someone asked.

Kong Yuming nodded. "Captain Luo asked me to take Xia Zhiqing and the others to the commune."

Everyone understood.

"I see quite a few people going to the clinic; Xia Zhiqing must be going to buy medicinal herbs, right?"

Xia An nodded and smiled, "I couldn't find some of the necessary medicinal herbs in the mountains, and using substitutes was far less effective."

"So I plan to go to the commune to take a look, buy some things for now, and then see how things go later."

An older woman shook her head and said, "If you ask me, these people are just bored."

"Don't go to the clinic for minor illnesses and pains. It's not only troublesome for Xia Zhiqing, but it also wastes medicine."

Hearing this, Xia An shook his head slightly and smiled,

"I think what you said, Auntie, was a little inappropriate."

"It is precisely because these are minor illnesses that they need to be treated as soon as possible. This is the original purpose of setting up a health clinic—to serve everyone."

"Moreover, if it develops into a chronic illness, that would be a real problem."

Everyone nodded slightly, agreeing that it made sense, and the auntie smiled as well.

"Xia is right. I didn't think that much before I spoke."

Xia An smiled and said, "Auntie, if you have time, why don't you come and sit in the clinic?"

"In this life, you should save when you should and spend when you should. Don't be too stingy with small amounts of money."

"The best thing is to get rid of illness and live a good life!"

The auntie paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded.

"If you ask me, it's the educated youth like Xia who have the best way of speaking."

"You know what, my old leg pain is really uncomfortable too."

"When I have time, I'll go to the clinic and ask Xia, the educated youth, for help."

Xia An smiled slightly, "Auntie's problem isn't serious, she just needs some rest and recuperation."

"When you have time, come over and I'll treat you. I guarantee you'll feel much better."

The aunt smiled and said, "Then I'll thank you in advance, Young Man Xia."

"Also, you can just call me Aunt Xiuqin. Feel free to ask me for anything you need."

Xia An was slightly taken aback when she heard the name, not expecting to encounter a familiar name so soon.

He smiled and said, "Okay, Auntie."

At this time,

Kong Yuming laughed, "Scarface, who are you waiting for?"

Scarface shook his head and smiled, saying, "The two people I'm waiting for are with you. Just walk forward, and I'll follow behind you."

Upon hearing this, Kong Yuming glanced back at Li Yuxue and Yang Yanqiu, and smiled sheepishly.

"Comrade Li and Xia, the educated youth, knew each other, and Comrade Yang and Comrade Li had arranged to meet. That's how the two of them got on this bus."

"It's alright!"

Scarface waved his hand and smiled, "There are already quite a few people, let this old guy have it easy."

Kong Yuming smiled and nodded. "Scarface, why don't you face forward?"

Scarface shook his head and smiled, "Hurry up, you guys go ahead."

Kong Yuming glanced back at Xia An and the others, and smiled, "That works too."

As he spoke, he drove ahead.

Scarface followed closely behind in the carriage.

But an old ox is still an old ox, and its speed slowed down considerably, with the two vehicles gradually moving further and further apart.

Luo Yunshu whispered, "Brother Xia An, that was Aunt Xiuqin, the midwife from our village."

Xia An smiled slightly, "I remember, but I don't know how the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are handling the delivery. You can ask them privately later."

Luo Yunshu nodded.

Kong Yuming was slightly taken aback. "Why is Xia, the educated youth, also curious about this?"

Xia An shook his head.

"I've heard that although midwives are very experienced, they all have some minor safety concerns."

"If safety measures are not in place, it can easily cause some minor problems."

"So I plan to discuss this with Aunt Xiuqin, and if possible, we can learn from each other."

"Since you've become the barefoot doctor of Anping Village, shouldn't you consider the needs of everyone?"

Kong Yuming was slightly taken aback, but naturally understood what Xia An meant.

He shook his head and said, "Aunt Xiuqin is still using the old method, which, according to the health center, is not safe enough."

"Although Xianglan went to learn it, she didn't master it, so now she's following her and using the old methods."

"Judging from what Xia Zhiqing is saying, does she perhaps know something about midwifery?"

Xia An nodded and smiled, "I've studied a little bit of both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, including midwifery."

"Later, you can ask Aunt Xiuqin and the others. If they're willing, you can learn from each other."

Kong Yuming raised his eyebrows slightly.

Xia An said it was about mutual learning, but I'm afraid it's more like he's the one teaching.

but……

He looked surprised and doubtful. "You just passed on all that knowledge like this? Didn't you keep anything to yourself?"
