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

"etc!"

Song Xiao spoke up, "Comrade Yun Shu, are you sure you don't rent a place there?"

"No rent!"

Luo Yunshu shook her head.

"Isn't it enough that I give you one yuan a month?"

Song Xiao was still somewhat unwilling to give up.

She didn't want to squeeze into a dormitory-style room, and she didn't know when she would return to the city, so building a house felt like a waste.

After Xie Weiguo's reminder, I gave up the idea of ​​renting a place.

But now, given that Luo Yunshu lives alone, renting a place would be quite suitable.

She was moved.

Luo Yunshu shook her head and refused, "I'm sorry, Comrade Song, I really don't plan to rent a house."

Seeing her resolute attitude, Song Xiao sighed helplessly, "Alright then, sorry to bother you."

"fine."

Luo Yunshu shook her head.

Xia An picked up Shen Nian'an's luggage and took them to Luo Yunshu's house.

after come back,

He handed Qin Weidong a cigarette and said meaningfully, "Qin, I think you're a decent person. Here's a piece of advice for you."

Qin Weidong's expression hardened. "Xia Zhiqing, you speak."

Xia An glanced at Song Xiao, "Don't be so nervous. What I wanted to say was:"

"Just don't blindly agree with Zhang Qiang when he talks nonsense."

Qin Weidong laughed and said, "Of course, I don't think that guy is a good person either."

Xia An patted his shoulder, glanced around, and said softly:

"I'm not one to gossip, but I have good hearing and overheard a few words of what Secretary Han and the other person said when we were in the commune."

"Many of the educated youth in Anping Village likely had issues related to their class background."

"Zhang Qiang is a blabbermouth; he offends people without even realizing it. Don't go along with him."

Upon hearing this, Qin Weidong and his companion's expressions tightened, realizing the seriousness of the situation.

If what Xia An said is true, Zhang Qiang's continued use of the issue of family background is likely to provoke public outrage.

After all, who knows how many of the nine former educated youth were in this situation?

What Xia An said is very likely true.

After all, among this group of educated youth, only three had clear issues with their class background.

As a result, they all came to Anping Village, which speaks volumes.

"Thank you for the reminder, Xia."

The two spoke solemnly.

"polite."

Xia An smiled and said, "Then you guys rest, I'll head over first."

Take care.

Watching Xia An leave,

Song Xiao asked, "Qin, do you think what Xia said is true?"

Qin Weidong sighed, "It's almost certainly true. He has no reason to lie about something like this."

Song Xiao nodded. "In that case, we really shouldn't speak carelessly."

That makes sense.

Qin Weidong nodded, then said, "As new educated youth in the settlement, we two should take care of each other."

"Of course."

……

the other side.

When Xia An arrived at Xie Weiguo's house, Xie Weiguo was already waiting for her in the courtyard.

"Uncle Xie, I've been in trouble these past few days."

You're too kind.

Xie Weiguo laughed and said, "I just like you, kid. I've prepared a room for you. You can make do with it for the next few days."

"Also, you can eat whatever we eat these next few days, and we won't charge you for food. Just don't mind."

"How can that be?" Xia An shook her head. "It's already a lot of trouble for Uncle Xie to come and stay temporarily. How can we let Uncle Xie suffer a loss in terms of food expenses?"

"Alright," Xie Weiguo waved his hand and said, "You're being too polite with me. We're both straightforward people, no need for that."

"Haha, okay." Xia An nodded. "Then I won't stand on ceremony with Uncle Xie."

"That's to be expected." Xie Weiguo shook his head and chuckled, then changed the subject, "By the way, how are your medical skills?"

Xia An put the luggage in the side room, pondered for a moment and said, "It's alright. I know a little about both traditional Chinese and Western medicine. I can handle sprains and bruises, and I can also handle surgery and difficult cases."

"Whoa!"

Xie Weiguo shook his head and chuckled, "You're really not modest, kid. Well then, take a look at what ailment your uncle has."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, looking at Xia An with a half-smile.

Xia An glanced at him, "I can tell a lot of problems without even taking his pulse."

"Um?"

Xie Weiguo narrowed his eyes slightly. "Tell me about it."

Xia An nodded.

"Firstly, it's a common ailment among northerners: chronic bronchitis caused by respiratory infections, which leads to coughing and phlegm production, especially in winter."

"Northern winters are cold and dry, and indoor coal stoves or kang beds easily produce coal smoke. Poor ventilation, coupled with low immunity, contributes to this problem."

Xie Weiguo nodded. "That's true, northerners are all like that. Are there any others?"

"Secondly, long-term calcium deficiency combined with overwork can lead to osteoporosis, causing lower back pain and joint pain."

Xie Weiguo nodded. "That's true. Anything else?"

"Thirdly, there is not enough meat, eggs, and soy products in the diet, coupled with overwork, resulting in lower limb edema. Pressing on the ankle leaves a dent, which is milder in the morning and more severe in the evening."

Xie Weiguo sighed, "There's nothing we can do about it; most people in the team are like this."

"Fourth, rheumatoid arthritis, the joints hurt badly on rainy days and in winter, which is unavoidable in this poor environment."

Fifth, prolonged overwork can lead to lumbar muscle strain, knee joint strain, and other conditions.

Xie Weiguo nodded and sighed, "What you've said is unavoidable."

Xia An smiled slightly. "Uncle Xie, people have to accept getting old. Your kidneys aren't doing so well anymore, are they?"

Xie Weiguo's lips twitched. "You kid, there's no need to say that."

Xia An shook her head. "These are the more serious ones; there are quite a few other minor problems as well."

"Strictly speaking, these are all caused by environmental factors, overwork, and food shortages, which gradually develop into lesions."

Xie Weiguo nodded, sat down, sighed, and said, "There's nothing we can do; this is just how this place is."

Xia An nodded. People in this era all have more or less flaws.

At this moment, Xie Weiguo suddenly said, "You just said you can handle difficult and complicated cases, does that mean you can cure all of these?"

Xia An nodded, then shook her head.

He sighed and said, "Uncle Xie, I won't lie to you, I can treat and eliminate the root cause of the illness with my methods, but it's not realistic."

"Unrealistic?"

Xie Weiguo seemed thoughtful. "Is it because the medicinal herbs are too expensive?"

"Yes." Xia An nodded. "Not only that, but the food can't be neglected either. Meat, eggs, and all kinds of vegetables are essential."

"I need to persist for at least a year, even with daily acupuncture as an aid."

Upon hearing this, Xie Weiguo shook his head, "What you're saying is indeed unrealistic."

Xia An nodded, then smiled and said, "When I have time, I'll go into the mountains to find some herbs to relieve your pain. That won't be a problem."

"In addition, I will give you an acupuncture treatment before bed tonight, which should provide relief for eight to ten days."

"Oh?" Xie Weiguo's eyes lit up slightly. "I don't mind going into the mountains specifically to find medicinal herbs, but I am somewhat interested in acupuncture."

Upon hearing this, Xia An smiled slightly, "Come wake me when you're ready to sleep tonight, and I'll give you acupuncture to ensure you get a good night's sleep."

"If that's how you put it, then I won't hold back."

Xie Weiguo smiled, his eyes filled with anticipation as he thought of Xia An's acupuncture treatment.
