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

Upon seeing the newcomer, Xia An raised an eyebrow slightly, his expression showing a hint of surprise.

He stepped forward and said with a smile, "Comrade Li, what brings you here?"

The visitors were none other than Li Fugui and Wen Min!

Li Fugui stepped forward carrying the gifts, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"Xia Zhiqing, my nephew Qingshan is much better, but he still can't move around much."

"I was planning to come and thank you after he recovered, but it's taken too long, and I'm starting to feel embarrassed."

"I was thinking of visiting you first, and then having him come to thank you in person once he's better."

Xia An shook her head and chuckled, "I saved him out of a doctor's compassion, and also because his parents fought for their country. Why are you being so polite?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the meat, brown sugar, and money in Li Fugui's hand.

"Take it back. Instead of giving it to me, give him some more nourishment so he can recover sooner."

Li Fugui's expression turned anxious. "Xia Zhiqing, this is just a small token of my appreciation, you can't refuse it!"

Xia An shook her head and smiled, about to refuse again, when she thought of something.

"You've probably heard me say before that we still charge consultation fees for people from outside Anping Village who come for treatment."

"Out of respect for the revolutionary martyrs, I'll accept the one yuan fee for this house call; you can take the rest back."

As he spoke, he took out a dollar and put it in his pocket.

Li Fugui was slightly taken aback, and was about to speak again when Xia An waved his hand and said:

"That's fine then."

As he spoke, he looked at Wenmin.

"What are you doing here, you educated youth?"

Wen Min quickly smiled and said, "Xia Zhiqing, I'm not feeling well."

"I heard Uncle Li was coming to see you, so I followed him here, hoping you could take a look at me."

Xia An nodded slightly. "Come in, let me take a look at you!"

With that, she turned and walked into the consultation room. "Yunshu, pour them a glass of water."

Luo Yunshu nodded, but glanced warily at Wen Min.

This woman is somewhat pretty, and her eyes seem a little off.

She poured them both a glass of water.

"Brother Xia An, is this the educated youth you mentioned before?"

Xia An nodded slightly, glanced at Wen Min's questioning gaze, and casually replied:

"It's her. She came in the same batch as us and was assigned to Lijiatun."

Luo Yunshu nodded slightly, then asked with curiosity:

"I heard that many of the educated youth from Lijiatun have gotten married or married. Is Wen, the educated youth, also getting married?"

Wen Min's expression stiffened slightly, and she glanced at Xia An almost imperceptibly.

He immediately shook his head and said, "To be honest, comrade, many people have asked me to be their matchmaker, but I haven't agreed to any of them."

"Thanks to Xia Zhiqing and Uncle Li for their help, my stress has been greatly reduced."

Luo Yunshu was slightly taken aback. "Brother Xia An isn't in Lijiatun, how could he possibly help you?"

Wenmin nodded, as if she wanted to say something.

Xia An shook his head and said, "Wen, don't talk nonsense. I didn't do anything."

Wenmin shook her head and smiled bitterly.

"Xia, you're too modest. Your words can have a significant impact on many things."

Xia An remained noncommittal, saying, "Wen Zhiqing is joking; I'm not that capable."

As he spoke, he withdrew his hand from taking the pulse and changed the subject:

"The rest are minor issues; I'll prescribe some medication for you to take care of them."

"But excessive worry can be quite harmful to your health. Try to think more positively about things."

As he spoke, he quickly wrote down a prescription and handed it over, saying:

"The consultation fee is 50 cents. The medicinal herbs are available here or at the health center for the same price."

Kong Qingci smiled slightly but didn't say anything.

Wenmin took the prescription, but sighed inwardly. How could she possibly accept this?

Living in constant fear, afraid of being harmed, they had no choice but to submit.

How could she possibly come to terms with this situation?

Xia An stood up and smiled.

"I'm going into the mountains to collect herbs today, so I won't entertain you. Please make yourselves at home."

Li Fugui nodded, "In that case, we won't bother Xia Zhiqing any longer."

Wen Min's expression stiffened slightly, and she glanced at Xia An with a resentful look.

She took a deep breath. "Xia, can I talk to you alone?"

Xia An raised an eyebrow slightly, pondered for a moment, and then nodded slightly.

"Can,"

Upon seeing this, Luo Yunshu and the others frowned slightly, but still left the consultation room.

"What do you want to talk about? Tell me."

Xia An's expression was calm, and her voice was somewhat indifferent, yet she did not keep people at arm's length.

Wen Min bit her lower lip lightly, then gently pounced on Xia An and hugged her, her delicate body trembling slightly.

Xia An raised an eyebrow, her hands hovering in the air. "Wen, what are you doing?"

It must be said that although Wenmin looks petite, her elders are well taken care of.

When I saw her before, her clothes were a little loose, so it wasn't very noticeable.

Wen Min gritted her teeth. "Xia Zhiqing, please help me, okay?"

"Zhang, the educated youth, has been defamed and forced into marriage. I'm so scared."

"I don't want to be forced to marry someone I don't like. I'll do anything you ask, as long as you can help me get out of Lijiatun."

Even if... even if you take me.

Xia An raised an eyebrow, her voice remaining calm, but deliberately trembling slightly.

"Wen, you've overstepped your bounds."

"Even if I could help you, would you really give it to me if you really wanted it?"

"If that's the case, wouldn't it be worse for you than getting married?"

"I..." Wen Min's delicate body trembled, and her face stiffened slightly.

Yes, both involve losing one's innocence, but the former simply married the abuser as a normal person.

What about the latter?

If Xia An takes her but doesn't want to take responsibility, how can she remarry?

If that's the case, then his reputation will probably be even worse than the former, right?

Xia An gently pushed her away, casually sat down on the kang (a heated brick bed), and shrugged, saying:

"I am powerless to help you escape Lijiatun; you should seek a better alternative."

Unless you win over Wenmin to get the sign-in bonus, the rewards won't be proportional to the effort.

But I had a vague feeling that the timing was wrong, and that I couldn't take it over in this way.

The main problem is that he doesn't know Wen Min at all, and Ye Qingxuan told him to stay away from her.

He wouldn't be willing to sacrifice an entire forest for the sake of a single blade of grass.

Wenmin stiffened, slowly lowered her head, and clenched her small hands tightly.

Her face contorted in struggle, her fingertips digging deep into her palms, leaving bluish-red marks.

Seeing her like this, Xia An didn't say anything more, but just watched quietly.

for a long time,

Wenmin slowly raised her head. "I heard that the health center is planning to recruit two nursing assistants. If any educated youth are interested, they can apply."

"I'll say it again: as long as Xia Zhiqing helps me get in, I'll do anything you ask."

Xia An raised an eyebrow slightly. "Your information network is quite impressive, but if it's just for an exam, why not just go directly?"

Wei Zhong had mentioned this to him a couple of days ago, and even said he could recommend someone to go there.

But he showed no interest.

The main reason is that he can take care of her since she lives in Anping Village; it wouldn't be convenient if she lived further away.

Wenmin shook her head and smiled wryly, "I heard that these positions are mainly for commune members, and saying that educated youth can participate is just for show."

Xia Anxin understood and shook her head, saying, "Then it's no use coming to me. I'm just a new educated youth, and my voice carries little weight..."

Seeing that he was still pretending to be stupid, Wenmin couldn't help but sigh softly.

That bastard, he won't act until he sees the rabbit!

She felt angry but helpless, and fell silent for a moment.

moment,

She looked up at Xia An, a strange light flashing in her eyes, and then suddenly pounced on him.
