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

Xia An reached out and lightly shook hands with Wei Ningbing, then heard a system notification in his ear:

"Congratulations, host, for successfully checking in on your skin. You have received 10 Great Unity cards, 10 sets of special battle suits, and 10 boxes of ice cream."

"The corresponding item reward has been placed in the Spirit Spring Space. Please check it."

He smiled inwardly; the check-in he hadn't completed last time could be considered done now.

"It was just a small favor."

"Brother Shanghua has already expressed his gratitude, Comrade Wei need not take it to heart."

Wei Ningbing shook her head slightly, "He is him, and I am me. We cannot generalize."

"Grandpa originally wanted to come too, but he was too busy with other matters, so he asked me to do it for him. I hope Comrade Xia will understand."

Xia An shook his head and smiled wryly, "I should be the one visiting him, how could I dare to let Elder Wei come?"

Wei Ningbing neither confirmed nor denied, but instead said:

"I heard from Hua Zai that Xia, the educated youth, has no plans to return to the city for the time being?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Yunshu and the others present couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines.

Xia An glanced at Wei Shanghua, smiled, and nodded in response:

"To be honest, Comrade Wei, I really have no plans to return to the city for the time being."

"Oh? Why?"

A hint of curiosity and inquiry appeared on Wei Ningbing's usually cool and aloof face.

As far as she knew, none of these educated youths didn't want to return to the city, right?

Xia An shook her head and smiled, "It's actually not bad here. It doesn't matter whether we go back to the city or not."

"Mainly, I promised to help train barefoot doctors in Anping Village."

"If I were to simply walk away, I would be breaking my promise, and I cannot do that."

Upon hearing this, Wei Ningbing nodded slightly, then said again:

"Comrade Xia doesn't want to go back to the city, isn't he worried about his family?"

Xia An shook his head and smiled bitterly, a hint of longing and worry flashing in his eyes.

"Of course I'm worried,"

"I left not long after my adoptive father left, because I was afraid they would be bullied."

"But after thinking about it, they're in the city, so their safety shouldn't be a problem."

"I often send letters and even things back home, which helps them avoid some trouble."

"Besides, they're in the city, so we should trust the neighborhood committee and the security guards."

Hearing this, Wei Ningbing nodded slightly.

But Xia An gazed wryly into the distance, then shook his head with a wry smile.

"and,"

"Besides the fact that someone in the family has to go to the countryside, isn't it also a good opportunity to get away and relax?"

A hint of sadness welled up in his eyes, causing those present to pause slightly in surprise.

My condolences!

Wei Ningbing's expression was composed as she spoke softly.

Xia An shook his head and smiled. "Thank you, Comrade Wei. I figured it out when I got off the train."

"Those who are alive must always look forward."

Wei Ningbing nodded slightly, as if in agreement.

At this time,

Xia An glanced at the time, then looked at Ye Qingxuan and said:

"Qingxuan, could you please help prepare some food to entertain Comrade Wei and the others?"

"good!"

Ye Qingxuan agreed and then pulled An Lan and Li Yuxue to get busy.

Seeing this, Wei Shanghua said embarrassedly:

"Brother Xia, there's no need to trouble yourself. We can just eat when we get back."

Wei Ningbing remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.

Xia An shook her head and smiled, "Since you're all here, let me entertain you."

Wei Shanghua opened his mouth, glanced at Wei Ningbing, and said nothing more.

He actually wanted to have a meal with Xia An, but he preferred that he pay for it.

But that's fine too.

At this time,

Wei Ningbing suddenly changed the subject: "I heard that Comrade Xia often goes into the mountains. Has he found any suspicious people nearby?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yuxue's heart skipped a beat, and she unconsciously recalled what had happened last time.

She glanced at Xia An, who had told her to keep it a secret after she returned last time.

Xia An's heart skipped a beat, and after a slight hesitation, he nodded and said:

"To be honest, Comrade Wei, we did encounter suspicious individuals, and I remember that incident quite clearly."

"you?"

Wei Ningbing instantly grasped the key words, her gaze filled with a hint of inquiry.

Xia An nodded slightly. "That's right. Comrade Yu Xue and I encountered three suspicious individuals in the mountains."

"About ten days ago, the day after Shanghua came to my place."

Wei Ningbing glanced at Li Yuxue, only to see a hint of lingering fear on her face.

Tell me about it.

A look of reminiscence crossed Xia An's face as she slowly began to speak.

That morning…

quickly,

Xia An recounted the events of that day in great detail.

Of course, he remained a silent witness, not a participant.

Finally, he hesitated and said:

"I was also worried about getting into trouble, so I caught up with Comrade Yuxue and came back with her."

"Forest ranger?"

Wei Ningbing raised her eyebrows slightly, having a guess in mind, but not yet certain.

Xia An nodded. "He said he was a forest ranger, but Comrade Yuxue mentioned it to me after she came back."

She knows the rangers in the area, but she doesn't know this person.

Wei Ningbing frowned slightly. "Have you reported this matter?"

Xia An shook his head and smiled wryly, "It rained when I got back that day, and I forgot for a moment."

"The next day I went to the commune, intending to report the matter, but I ran into him as soon as I left Anping Village."

"He showed me his identification and said those two were enemy agents. He said he planned to follow up on this matter and told me not to say anything that might alert them."

"When he came to my door, I was worried about getting into trouble, so I hesitated and didn't report it."

Wei Ningbing raised an eyebrow slightly. "I showed you his ID. What's his name?"

Xia An immediately replied, "His name is Xia Ming, I think he's a forest ranger dispatched from Songyuan County."

Upon hearing this, Wei Ningbing was almost certain of what had happened.

Perhaps Xia Ming discovered something from those two enemy agents, which is why he went to the border.

That guy is quite bold, but he's just too reckless.

If we obtain intelligence, wouldn't it be better to hand it over directly to the military?

He actually risked going to that outpost; wasn't he afraid of getting killed there?

But then, something occurred to Wei Ningbing, and she shook her head inwardly.

If Xia Mingruo had only been reporting intelligence, she would definitely have stayed there that day.

Perhaps this is fate?

Wei Ningbing looked at Xia An and said, "His identity is real, but next time you encounter something like this, I suggest you report it."

"Okay, I understand."

Xia An nodded.

At this moment, Wei Ningbing continued to ask:

"Since you contacted him, did you mention anything else, such as where he operates or where his hideout is?"

Xia An shook her head. "He really didn't say, and I didn't dare to ask any further."

Wei Ningbing nodded, seemingly unsurprised, then changed the subject.

"I heard you agreed to serve as a technical advisor at the health center, passing on your medical skills?"

"That's true," Xia An nodded, then looked puzzled.

"Comrade Wei, is there a problem with why you suddenly asked this?"

"No," Wei Ningbing shook her head, "I was just asking out of curiosity. Would you be interested in pursuing further studies at the provincial hospital or a military hospital?"

Hearing this, Xia An shook his head and chuckled, then asked in return:

"Comrade Wei, which of these two places do you think is more suitable for me to pursue further studies?"

Wei Ningbing was slightly taken aback, and glanced at Xia An with a surprised look.
