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

After Xia An finished acupuncture on Wei Zhong, the two chatted for a while before Wei Zhong left.

As the clerk in charge of the commune's health group, Wei Zhong was actually quite busy.

If it weren't for something important concerning himself, he wouldn't have gone through all that trouble of traveling back and forth for over an hour.

After seeing Wei Zhong off, Xia An greeted everyone and then went back into the mountains.

this day,

They still didn't find much, only two rare medicinal herbs that could be placed in the space's medicinal field.

One is ginseng that is 23 or 24 years old. Needless to say, we can plant it directly.

Secondly, there is wild Gastrodia elata, which can treat headaches, dizziness, and sequelae of stroke.

In later generations, wild Gastrodia elata became almost extinct and was considered a rare and precious commodity.

Having inherited medical knowledge, Xia An was quite familiar with whether many medicinal herbs still existed in later generations.

Ginseng and gastrodia elata go without saying, but even eleutherococcus senticosus, which is now readily available, is a different story.

It will not be found in later generations either.

Therefore, he planted some of the rarest plants, not only those that are rare now, but also those that will be rare in future generations.

As usual, he carried a medicine basket out of the mountains, and before leaving the forest, he picked up two bundles of thin firewood.

I went back to the courtyard.

They saw patients, taught, and finally took Chen Zhiyi home after her consultation.

Kong Qingci and the other two were also sent back, and Xia An returned to the courtyard.

He hesitated for a moment, then instead of going back to his room, he went into Jiang Mengmeng's room.

After letting her sleep peacefully, he went back to his own room to take care of Anlan and the other woman.

For the next two days, Xia An's itinerary was almost identical.

He sees patients during the three hours of Yin, Mao, and Xu; and spends the six hours of Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, and You in the mountains.

Later, I'll take Kong Qingci and the other two, as well as Chen Zhiyi who came for a medical checkup, back home.

Then back in the courtyard, every night the two rooms were constantly in use.

He would occasionally visit Li Yuxue's place.

At this, Ye Qingxuan and the others all showed a hint of worry in their eyes.

Xia An is really too ruthless.

But seeing how energetic he was every day, they became even more suspicious.

Is this man made of iron?

They were exhausted and could barely keep going, but the man seemed completely unaffected.

Is this normal?

To this, Xia An can only say: You wouldn't understand a life that's like being on a winning streak!

The next day,

After leaving Jiang Mengmeng's room and washing up, Xia An thought of something...

"You guys start cooking first, and eat as soon as it's done. I'm going to Uncle Xie's house."

"Um?"

Ye Qingxuan asked in confusion, "Going so early, is there something urgent?"

"It doesn't count,"

Xia An shook his head and said, "Previously, Luo Yue Sao needed ginseng for treatment, and I happened to dig up one, but it needs to be used in three doses."

"It's kept here to be properly preserved; they need it to brew medicine today."

"I delivered it to them so that they could come here for acupuncture after taking their medicine."

Ye Qingxuan raised an eyebrow slightly, "So concerned, you wouldn't happen to have taken a liking to...?"

"Don't talk nonsense," Xia An quickly interrupted her, smiling wryly.

"Am I that bad in your eyes?"

"While I might want to give you a home, it's only for single women. Why would I go out of my way to break up a family?"

Ye Qingxuan covered her mouth and chuckled, "There's nothing I can do about it. You don't seem to have much integrity in this area, which is why I have this suspicion."

Xia An rolled her eyes. "I'm not that tasteless. Besides, haven't you noticed that I actually have pretty high standards?"

Ye Qingxuan was slightly taken aback, then recalled what was in the courtyard and what Xia An had been in contact with.

They all seem to be very good-looking.

Uh~

There seems to be one exception.

She laughed and said, "Wait a minute, why do I have a feeling that you and Chen Zhiyi are also having an affair?"

Xia An shook her head, making no attempt to hide anything.

"She's similar to you when you first arrived, even more thorough and ruthless in her concealment than you."

Ye Qingxuan was slightly taken aback, then smiled knowingly.

"You saw through my disguise from the start, didn't you?"

Xia An simply smiled, neither admitting nor refuting.

"alright,"

"I'm heading over now. I might get a free meal there, so you don't need to wait for me."

After saying that, he went back into the house and then quickly left the courtyard.

Ye Qingxuan shook her head, watching him leave with a wistful gaze.

Jiang Mengmeng came out and said, "This guy is too ambitious. I wonder what he's after?"

"Men are all like that," Ye Qingxuan said with a nonchalant smile.

"We set a precedent, which emboldened him, and he always wanted to eat more good food."

"Besides Kong Qingci, Chen Zhiyi will probably also fall into his clutches."

Jiang Mengmeng nodded slightly. "Speaking of which, how many places in Anping Village still meet his aesthetic standards? He wouldn't be trying to have them all, would he?"

"It shouldn't be that bad," Ye Qingxuan shook her head.

"Besides, haven't we already made a decision? Let's keep an eye on things."

Jiang Mengmeng nodded.

They did indeed meet privately to discuss maintaining the existing order.

If anyone else wants to squeeze in, they need to get their approval.

Of course, the most important thing is...

Xia An can afford to support them and manage, so don't divide their share among others.

This is the bottom line.

Most importantly, we must not expose their relationship.

Otherwise, there will be trouble.

Thinking of something, Jiang Mengmeng shook her head and sighed softly:

"Kong Qingci is probably doomed, while Chen Zhiyi has Yang Yanqiu protecting her."

"That's eleven already,"

"This man has laid it a bit too wide; doesn't he know to take it easy?"

"So," An Lan and the other person walked over, shaking their heads, "we need to help prevent this and keep an eye on things."

"The best-case scenario is to exhaust his energy so that he has no energy left to go out and have fun."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mengmeng's lips twitched slightly, and she said with a wry smile:

"Your idea is somewhat self-deceptive, but we have no choice but to give it a try."

Ye Qingxuan and the others nodded.

That man is made of iron; if you try to exhaust his energy, they'll probably be the ones who can't hold on any longer.

Unless you use a special secret medicine, but there's really no need for that; it's too extravagant and wasteful.

Xia An was unaware of the women's thoughts, let alone that they had already united.

at this time,

He encountered Luo Yunshu and Li Yuxue, and casually offered a brief explanation.

Neither of them asked any further questions.

After parting ways with the two, he had only taken a few steps when he encountered Aunt Xiangyun coming towards him.

"Auntie, where are you going?"

Aunt Xiangyun smiled and said, "Oh, it's Xia, the educated youth. I was just about to look for you."

"We were thinking of quickly preparing the medicine and then going to your place for acupuncture, so as not to waste any time."

Xia An smiled.

"I thought about this when I got up this morning, so I came to bring you medicine."

As he spoke, he took out a red cloth bundle from his bag, inside which was the ginseng.

Aunt Xiangyun was slightly taken aback, then smiled gratefully.

"I'm so grateful to Xia, the educated youth. I don't know how to thank him enough."

"Auntie, you're being too polite."

Xia An shook her head and chuckled, "Since Auntie is here, I'll take half for you to take back. I'll head back to the clinic now."

"What's the rush?" Aunt Xiangyun quickly stopped her, shaking her head with a smile.

"Since you're already here, have dinner at home and give Yue'er acupuncture before you go back."

"This... will work too."

Xia An nodded, without refusing.

Anyway, brewing the medicine is quick, and there's no time to do anything else besides acupuncture.

It's the same everywhere.

Xia An put the ginseng back into her bag, and the two of them walked together toward Xie Wei's country.
