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

As darkness fell, Xie Weiguo and the others returned from work.

Besides Xie Weiguo, there was also a young couple who looked to be in their early twenties.

"mother!"

Seeing the three of them return, Xie Ling'er rushed over and hugged the woman's legs.

The weariness in the woman's eyes faded, and she picked up her daughter, smiling as she asked, "Ling'er, did you listen to Grandma today?"

"I heard it."

Xie Ling'er said sweetly, "Mother, this one is for you, it's delicious."

As she spoke, she opened her little hand, revealing a White Rabbit milk candy in her palm.

The woman was slightly surprised. "If Mother doesn't eat it, Ling'er will keep it for herself."

"But I don't think we have any left at home. Who gave you these?"

"It was given to me by Uncle Xia."

Hearing this, the woman nodded in understanding and looked at Xia An not far away.

Xie Weiguo, the father-in-law, had already told them that Xia, the educated youth, would be staying at their home temporarily.

Xia An stepped forward and said, "Uncle Xie, you're back?"

"Yes," Xie Weiguo nodded with a smile, "Let me introduce you, this is my eldest son Xie Jianjun and his wife Luo Yue."

"Hello, Brother Xie. I'm Xia An, a new educated youth. I'm sorry to have bothered you these past few days."

Xia An smiled and took out a Daqianmen cigarette and offered it to Xie Weiguo and Xie Jianjun.

Xie Jianjun shook his head and laughed, "Brother, you're joking. You're calling me 'Big Brother,' so there's no need to bother you. Just stay here comfortably."

"Thank you," Xia An said with a smile.

Xie Weiguo took the cigarette, lit it, took a deep drag, and exhaled a smoke ring with satisfaction.

"You two don't need to be so polite. Hurry up and wash up and eat. Xia Zhiqing is coming to the team headquarters with me later."

He had barely finished speaking when Aunt Xiangyun brought the food to the table, calling out:

"Hurry up and wash up, it's time to eat!"

"immediately."

Xie Weiguo agreed.

Luo Yue put her daughter down. "Go inside with your uncle first. Mom will come over after I wash up."

"it is good."

Xie Ling'er nodded and pulled Xia An into the house to sit down.

Xia An glanced at the food on the table, her eyes showing a slight surprise.

White rice, stir-fried green peppers and eggs, stewed eggplant and green beans, stir-fried green vegetables, and stewed cabbage with pork.

In those days, this was considered excellent food in the countryside, right?

Soon,

Xie Jianjun and the others also came in.

Mr. and Mrs. Xie Jianjun were slightly surprised when they saw the dishes on the table.

But considering that Xia Anchu has just arrived today, it's understandable to treat it as a meal to improve his diet.

Aunt Xiangyun said with a smile, "Since it's Xia Zhiqing's first time here, he must eat and drink well."

Everyone took their seats and began to eat.

at the dinner table,

Luo Yue nudged Xie Jianjun lightly with her cane and gave him a wink.

Xie Jianjun nodded and asked with a smile, "Brother Xia, my father said you have excellent medical skills?"

Xia An was slightly taken aback, glanced at Xie Weiguo who had a calm expression, and then smiled:

"It's alright. If you have any questions, Brother Xie, you can come to me."

Xie Jianjun's eyes lit up with joy, and he said somewhat embarrassedly, "Brother Xia, to be honest, since we had Ling'er, we've wanted another one."

"But four or five years have passed, and there's still no progress. We went to the commune hospital, but they couldn't find anything wrong. We've taken a lot of medicine."

"We heard today that you are a very good doctor, so we were wondering if you could take a look at us?"

Xia An glanced at the two of them and saw that Luo Yue's face was slightly flushed and she was silent with her head down.

He smiled and said, "I have a rough idea. I'll take a closer look later."

Upon hearing this, Xie Weiguo and the other three looked up simultaneously, surprised, and asked, "Brother Xia, do you mean you've already guessed the symptoms?"

"Um."

Xia An nodded, "Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes observation, listening, questioning, and palpation. By observing a patient's complexion, one can guess about six or seven parts of their condition."

"But to be truly certain, we'll need to take the pulse first, in a moment..."

He paused as he spoke,

He glanced at their anxious and nervous expressions, shook his head, and chuckled:

"Alright, I'll show it to you first, otherwise you won't be able to enjoy this meal properly."

As he spoke, he put down his chopsticks and bowl. "Brother Xie, let me take a look at yours first."

"well."

Xie Jianjun quickly got up and came to Xia An, extending his hand nervously.

After taking your pulse, Xia An smiled and said, "You're in your prime, but... you're a little short on kidneys. I'll prescribe some medicine for you to replenish them later. It shouldn't be a big problem."

Xie Jianjun blushed and said embarrassedly, "Thank you very much, Brother Xia."

"polite."

Xia An waved his hand and looked at Luo Yue.

When Luo Yue saw him looking over, she looked nervous and anxiously reached out her hand.

Xia An took her pulse and pondered, "Your sister-in-law has a constitution that tends to be cold. She must have fallen into the water more than ten years ago, which damaged her health."

Luo Yue's expression changed slightly. "I... I did fall into the water that winter when I was twelve years old, and I almost didn't make it back. Could it really be because of that?"

Xia An nodded. "It seems you sisters-in-law are aware of this."

"It's probably because the treatment wasn't done properly, and then the patient wasn't kept warm enough afterward, that led to this chronic condition."

"To be honest, you're lucky to have Ling'er."

"In addition, she must have been exposed to cold when she gave birth to Ling'er, which aggravated her condition."

Upon hearing this, Xie Weiguo and the other two remained calm, clearly indicating that they also knew something about it.

Even a hint of guilt flashed in Xie Jianjun's eyes, clearly indicating that he was aware of the latter.

Luo Yue was somewhat flustered and nervous. "Brother Xia... can you cure him?"

"Okay." Xia An nodded. "I'll prescribe a formula for you. Stick to it for three months, and it won't be difficult to give Ling'er a companion."

"real?"

Luo Yue looked delighted and held Xia An's hand tightly, as if afraid she had misheard.

Xie Weiguo and the others also looked over, their eyes filled with surprise.

"certainly,"

Xia An nodded, took out paper and pen, wrote down the prescription, and handed it over.

"This is for the first month. Come back for a follow-up appointment after one month of use, and I will adjust the dosage of the herbs to some extent according to your condition."

"Thank you, Brother Xia."

Xie Jianjun quickly took it, "Brother, what do you think of the consultation fee?"

Xia An picked up the bowl, shook his head and smiled, "There's no need for that. When my sister-in-law gets pregnant, she can just treat me to a nice meal."

"this……"

Xie Jianjun was slightly taken aback, then turned to look at Xie Weiguo, his gaze questioning.

Xie Weiguo shook his head. "Listen to him, show me the prescription."

As he spoke, he took the prescription, glanced at it, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

"Xia kid, you actually dare to drive like that."

"Wha...what do you mean?"

Xie Jianjun was puzzled, not understanding why his father seemed unhappy.

Xia An shrugged and said helplessly, "Uncle Xie, this is the cheapest prescription I can think of."

"Other medicinal herbs can be used to replace ginseng that is over 20 years old, but the conditioning time will be several times longer."

"Not only is it time-consuming, but it might also cost more money than ginseng, so it's not worth it."

Hearing this, everyone understood why Xie Weiguo had sighed.

Ginseng that's over twenty years old—that's not cheap!

Not only are they expensive, but they're also the kind of items that are available but not in stock.

Xia An looked helpless and continued, "Furthermore, the three months I mentioned refers to the need for acupuncture once every two weeks."

"Otherwise, relying solely on medication and treatment, even if the treatment time is doubled, will not achieve the desired effect."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yue and the others nodded slightly, seemingly unfazed.

Xie Weiguo inexplicably recalled the scene of giving Luo Hui acupuncture, and his brows furrowed slightly.
