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

The next day,

The morning light scattered,

As soon as Yang's mother stepped out of the house, she saw Xia Jiang and Xia Hai returning, each carrying four bundles of firewood.

She glanced at the pile of firewood in the corner of Yang Yanqiu's courtyard and couldn't help but show surprise.

Judging by the quantity, there must be two or three thousand catties; that should be enough to last until winter.

Even hibernation can last for more than a month, how come these two kids are working this hard?

"Xia Jiang, didn't you guys get any rest last night?"

She asked, her eyes showing some worry, afraid that the boy would overwork himself.

If Xia Jiang gets too tired, it will be his daughter who suffers.

The phantom Xia Jiang smiled and said, "Mom, we rested for two hours."

Yang's mother frowned. "How can such a short rest be enough? You need to get more rest, you know?"

"We know,"

Xia Jiang smiled and said, "We found some good wind-fallen trees yesterday, cut them down, carried them to the outer perimeter, and were thinking of bringing them back as soon as possible."

"So, have you finished memorizing it?"

Yang's mother asked in surprise,

These firewood and twigs look quite dry, which makes them seem legitimate.

Xia Jiang nodded, "After we finish memorizing, we'll have dinner and then get some rest."

"Okay, don't overwork yourself."

Yang's mother said something and went to cook.

In Yang Yanqiu courtyard,

Yang Yanqiu and Chen Zhiyi rubbed their sleepy eyes as they came out and saw the pile of firewood in the courtyard.

The two exchanged a glance, both somewhat surprised.

The special puppet that Xia An created is quite adept at getting things done.

Yang Yanqiu casually said, "Xia Jiang, you two sit down and rest first. We'll cook and eat, then you can go back to your rooms and rest."

"good!"

The illusory Xia Jiang nodded and, together with Xia Hai, neatly arranged the haphazardly piled firewood.

These were all placed by Xia An.

Only a dozen or so bundles were left by Xia An on the outskirts of the forest when he returned yesterday, and they carried them back.

……

the other side,

After Xia An and the others finished washing up and eating, they went about their own business.

The consultation and instruction session ended quickly.

Xia An first went to Luo Yunshu's house and pretended to treat Ye Gu and the other two.

Soon,

Yang Yanqiu brought the Xia Jiang brothers and Chen Zhiyi over, saying he was taking Chen Zhiyi to see a doctor.

In reality, it was the illusory Xia Jiang who received instructions from Xia An to come and replace the person.

In the inner room,

Xia An dispelled the illusion of Xia Hai, allowing his true self to descend, while he himself took on the form of Xia Jiang.

Stepping out of the inner room,

Yang Yanqiu raised her eyebrows slightly, a faint smile playing on her lips, and thought to herself:

The way my husband uses these methods is so sophisticated, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it the work of a deity.

A moment later,

The original body and the illusory body went into the mountains together with Xia Jiang, while Xia An and the other two returned to Yang Yanqiu's house.

In the courtyard,

Yang's mother and Chen's mother, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, were both there, seemingly having been waiting for quite some time.

Seeing that only the three of them had returned, Yang's mother was slightly surprised.

"Yanqiu, why are you the only ones back?"

Yang Yanqiu replied with a smile, "Mom, Xia Jiang knows about herbs, and he went into the mountains with Xia Zhiqing."

"He said he had seen all the medicinal herbs needed for Zhiyi's treatment."

"If nothing unexpected happens, Zhiyi should be able to recover her health in a short time."

Upon hearing this, Chen's mother immediately stood up, looking at Chen Zhiyi with an excited expression.

"Zhiyi, is this true?"

"Um!"

Chen Zhiyi nodded.

Actually, drinking Brother Xia's "special secret medicine" could also cure her ailment.

This was confirmed by Brother Xia after she drank it, and she has been drinking it for the past few days.

But since Brother Xia mentioned needing precious medicinal herbs, let's just make up for it here.

not right

Brother Xia's "special secret medicine" uses a lot of precious and rare medicinal materials, doesn't it?

She wasn't lying either.

Seeing her nod, Chen's mother's joy deepened, and she looked very excited.

She held Chen Zhiyi tightly, her body trembling slightly, tears welling up in her eyes.

Chen Zhiyi seemed to sense her mother's joy, and her eyes reddened slightly.

Sister-in-law Chen frowned slightly. "Zhiyi, didn't you say it would require many precious medicinal herbs and a long period of recuperation?"

Chen Zhiyi blinked, unsure how to explain, or perhaps unable to lie.

Yang Yanqiu smiled and said, "Xia Hai carried a life-saving medicine with him. After Zhiyi took it, he's already seventy or eighty percent recovered."

"Xia Zhiqing diagnosed that he only needed to take some medicine for a few more days to recover."

"A life-saving miracle drug?" Yang's mother and the other two were surprised and looked at Xia Hai (An).

Xia An scratched his head and laughed, "It was passed down from my ancestors in Xiajiatun. It's very effective in healing injuries and treating difficult and complicated diseases."

"Unfortunately, this is the last one that has been preserved in Xiajiatun."

Upon hearing this, Chen's mother's expression changed slightly. "It must be very expensive. We... can afford it..."

Xia An quickly waved his hand, glanced at Chen Zhiyi, scratched his head and smiled.

"Auntie, I already said it's for saving lives. It's perfect for Comrade Zhiyi."

"Comrade Zhiyi and my sister-in-law have a very good relationship; they're closer than sisters. You're being too formal by telling me this."

The three women, including Chen's mother, were slightly taken aback. They glanced at Xia Hai, then at Chen Zhiyi.

Is there something wrong with Xia Hai?

Does he like Zhiyi?

Chen's mother's expression was somewhat complicated. They had previously tacitly approved of Zhiyi's approach to Xia An.

Now, what's going on?

Given their family's current situation, Xia Hai is indeed, to some extent, a good match for Zhiyi.

Although Xia An was outstanding, he was surrounded by many girls.

Previously, they would not have tacitly allowed Chen Zhiyi to contact Xia An unless they had no other choice.

But now, should we change our minds?

If Zhiyi were to change it, what would she think?

Will doing this offend Xia An?

Chen's mother was somewhat confused, her eyes darting around, her thoughts seemingly wandering elsewhere.

Sister-in-law Chen could tell that something was wrong with her and had a vague idea of ​​what was going on.

"Mom, don't overthink it."

She stepped forward to support Chen's mother: "Let's see what Zhiyi thinks, and let things take their natural course."

Chen's mother nodded slightly, patted Chen Zhiyi's little hand, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

That look in his eyes seemed to say nothing, yet it also seemed to say everything.

Yang's mother was bewildered by what she was seeing, not knowing what had happened.

She stood up and said with a smile, "Since we have nothing else to do, let's go to the edge of the woods and gather some firewood."

"The autumn harvest is coming soon, so let's take advantage of the good weather and pick up as much as we can."

Chen's mother and daughter-in-law nodded.

They looked at Yang Yanqiu and the other two, then glanced at the pile of firewood in the corner of the courtyard.

Mother Yang smiled and said, "Yanqiu, Xia Jiang and his brother are here to chop firewood, so you don't need to worry about that."

"You should rest when you need to, or do some other housework."

Yang Yanqiu nodded and watched the three leave.

She laughed and said, "I'm going to do some laundry. What are you two planning to do today?"

"I'll go too."

Chen Zhiyi quickly replied, then looked at Xia An with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

"Let's go together."

"But before that, let's go inside; there's one small thing we need to do."

"What is it?" Yang Yanqiu asked, puzzled. Her face flushed slightly as if she had thought of something.

"You wouldn't be thinking about that kind of thing in broad daylight, would you?"

Chen Zhiyi was taken aback for a moment, and then her face quickly turned red.

Xia An's lips twitched, and a look of speechlessness appeared on his face.

"What are you thinking? Am I really that unreliable in your eyes?"

Yang Yanqiu looked at him with a half-smile, and said meaningfully:

"I know a little bit about the kind of men I'm interested in."

Xia An remained silent.

"Let's go inside and talk. You've done this before."

As he spoke, he pointed to his brow, and Yang Yanqiu suddenly realized what he meant. He then pulled Chen Zhiyi into the house.
