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

Jiang Mengmeng looked rather grim; her period had arrived a day early!

Luckily, I impulsively used disposable items last night, otherwise I'm afraid...

She glanced at Xia An, who was holding her, feeling helpless but having no choice but to accept reality.

Although being a day early was a bit of a surprise to her, she could barely accept it.

It's a pity today is the 1st; it would have been better if it were a day later.

The next few days will probably be tough; I'm afraid I won't be able to get through them.

Xia An's nose twitched slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes to look at the person in his arms.

"Xia An, I..."

Jiang Mengmeng's face stiffened, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she looked somewhat embarrassed.

Xia An shook her head and smiled, "Go get another one, I'll go get you some water."

"Uh-huh,"

Jiang Mengmeng nodded quickly, a sweet smile on her face, and got up from the kang (heated brick bed)...

Xia An came into the main room, poured hot water from the thermos, and made her a cup of brown sugar water.

It's summer now, and while hot water isn't usually needed, it is during special times.

For example, right now.

Each room in the courtyard has a thermos, and hot water is prepared for this situation.

Back in the inner room,

Jiang Mengmeng had already changed her clothes and was sitting on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), looking at him with a smile in her beautiful eyes.

Xia An handed her the water glass, "Be careful, it's hot. Let it cool down a bit before drinking."

"Make sure you get plenty of rest these next couple of days, avoid cold water, and don't overexert yourself, okay?"

"Uh-huh."

Jiang Mengmeng nodded repeatedly, her eyebrows slightly raised, and a smile in her eyes.

At this moment, Ye Qingxuan walked over.

"It's already dawn, why aren't you going out to wash up? You're getting bolder and bolder."

Xia An smiled slightly, "If I didn't have the guts, how could I have such good wives like you?"

"Pooh,"

Ye Qingxuan took a sip, her face showing a coquettish expression, and glared at him with a captivating charm.

"I'm going out first, you should come out quickly too, so no one sees us."

"good!"

Xia An responded, then looked at Jiang Mengmeng and said softly,

"Mengmeng, why don't you rest a little longer? We'll call you when the food is ready."

"Uh-huh,"

Jiang Mengmeng nodded and lay back down on the kang (a heated brick bed).

Xia An kissed her on the corner of her lips, then turned and went out to wash up.

Soon,

Luo Yunshu brought Kong Qingci over, and Li Yuxue soon followed as well.

During meals,

Ye Qingxuan hesitated and said:

"Xia An, how about we be a little more frugal? We've been consuming quite a bit of energy lately!"

The crowd paused slightly, turning to look at Xia An and nodding in agreement.

They sensed it too.

They eat very well every day, not even meat, and their staple food is either rice or white bread.

There's really no need for that!

Xia An shook his head, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, a confident smile appearing on his face.

"Don't worry, I won't let you go hungry with this little bit of food."

"I've already spoken with Li Jia, and he'll find a way to send things over regularly."

"The value of a purchasing agent at a supply and marketing cooperative goes without saying; you don't have to worry about food or drink at all."

Li Yuxue frowned slightly. "Xia An, you can't use favors like that."

"Even the greatest favors will eventually run out, let alone the way you're doing it."

Ye Qingxuan chimed in, "Yu Xue is right, Xia An, you'd better not do this."

The others nodded in agreement.

Xia An's gaze swept over the crowd, noticing a hint of worry in their beautiful eyes.

He hesitated for a moment, then said softly:

"I was originally planning to tell you when someone needed it, but since you have some concerns, I'll tell you now."

"There's too much to explain, and it's impossible to explain clearly. You just need to know one thing."

"Li Jia is similar to Xia Jiang; this so-called favor is nothing but a facade."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes widened slightly, somewhat incredulous.

Xia An didn't hide Yang Yanqiu's identity from the people in front of her, nor did she hide Xia Jiang and Xia Ming's.

A fake identity, like a puppet.

Although Xia An's explanation was vague, and they didn't get a clear answer, they understood one thing.

These three people will be fine.

Ye Qingxuan's expression hardened slightly as she glanced at the crowd, her voice cold and detached.

"We're all members of this family, and we're all in this together. Xia An trusts us, and we can't let him down."

"Keep your mouth shut, and keep everything that happens in the courtyard to yourself once you leave the house."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Kong Qingci's expression was equally solemn, and he said in a cool voice,

"To put it bluntly, our relationship with Xia An is like that of crew members and a ship."

"If something happens to the ship, everyone knows the consequences. Just like Qingxuan said, please think twice before you speak and act."

Jiang Mengmeng nodded slightly, "We all know what's important and won't say anything carelessly."

The others nodded in agreement.

Ye Qingxuan looked at Xia An and said, "You too, don't just reveal your secrets to others, even to us. You should at least keep them a little secret."

Xia An shook her head and chuckled, "You are my women, the people I trust most."

"If I hide even this small thing, what would I be?"

Everyone's lips twitched.

"Is this a small matter?"

An Lan looked slightly speechless. "Then tell me, what would be considered a big deal?"

Xia An opened her mouth, about to say something, but was stopped by Ye Qingxuan:

"Alright, let's leave this topic at that."

As he spoke, he looked at Xia An and said seriously,

"Some things are more likely to go wrong the more people know about them, so you should keep some things from others."

Xia An's eyebrows twitched slightly. Was this woman telling him to keep it a secret from the women in his family?

That's a huge statement!

But thinking about it, it makes sense.

Ye Qingxuan's concerns were not unfounded; it's better to keep some things from people.

"I know,"

Xia An nodded and said, "But I feel that what I should tell you, I still need to say."

"This identity was originally prepared for you, and I had to tell you eventually, right?"

Li Yuxue hesitated and asked, "Xia An, besides these three people, what other identities do they have?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked curious.

Xia An glanced at the group of women. "There are three more you've met before; they came here together."

"Those three people from the county?"

Kong Qingci's eyes widened slightly, a hint of surprise in her beautiful gaze.

Xia An nodded.

Luo Yunshu blinked. "So Xia An was just putting on an act that day. What was his motive?"

"What else could they be after?"

An Lan chuckled lightly, "I suppose it's to let those three identities show themselves, just in case."

Everyone nodded in understanding, instantly grasping An Lan's meaning, but said nothing more.

Currently, none of them are considering using fake identities to obtain marriage certificates.

Or rather, apart from a few individuals, the others still clung to a fantasy:

A fake identity is never as appealing as a real one.

If the false identity is that of a concubine, then the true identity is that of the first wife.

Who wouldn't want to fight for this position?

It's just that no one wants to say it outright; they just keep it to themselves.

After eating,

Everyone went about their own business, some busy with their own tasks, others resting as needed.

As usual, Xia An examined the visiting team members and taught Luo Yunshu and the others medical skills.

But compared to usual, he felt a greater sense of anticipation today.

The system upgrade was completed today. I wonder what changes will occur?
