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

Soon,

Chen Zhiyi understood Xia An's explanation and quickly pricked her needle to draw a drop of blood.

After Xia An absorbed it,

Chen Zhiyi only felt a flash of light before her eyes, and then she saw Xia An return to her original form.

But a flame mark appeared between his eyebrows.

Her eyes widened, filled with surprise, and even more so with realization.

"No wonder Sister Yang could tell Brother Xia apart from the puppet, so that's how it is!"

"How amazing!"

Xia An smiled slightly, "This is something only you two can know. You can't tell anyone else, and you can't let it slip, understand?"

"Uh-huh!"

Chen Zhiyi nodded quickly, "I'll follow Sister Yang's lead and do less and say less."

Xia An gently patted her head, a genuinely doting smile on his face.

"alright,"

"Aren't you going to do laundry? I'll go with you."

The two nodded with smiles.

Seeing the two of them come over with the laundry ready to be washed, Xia An hesitated for a moment.

There was a washing machine on the ninth floor of the Lingquan Space Warehouse. He wondered if he should help the two of them with their laundry.

But after thinking about it, I decided to give up for now.

It's hard to explain why the items exclusive to the ninth floor of the warehouse can't be retrieved.

We'll talk about it later.

The three of them arrived at the riverbank. Xia An intended to help with the washing, but the other two refused.

He could only sit beside them and watch the two of them squatting by the river washing clothes.

Fortunately,

It was early August, and the weather wasn't cold; it was tolerable.

Once they're hibernating, we should think of a way to stop them from washing.

With that thought in mind, Xia An took out two White Rabbit milk candies, unwrapped them, and fed them to the two of them.

Chen Zhiyi's pretty face flushed slightly, her eyes filled with an irrepressible smile.

Yang Yanqiu opened her mouth to take the candy, but rolled her eyes at him and whispered:

"Xia Jiang has gone into the mountains. You're my brother-in-law now, so be careful."

Xia An smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, no one comes around here."

"Even if someone comes over, if I give my sister-in-law a piece of candy, who will say anything?"

Yang Yanqiu rolled her eyes at him, then lowered her head to wash the clothes, seemingly unwilling to argue with him.

Xia An smiled slightly, unwrapped a candy, put it in her mouth, and sat down next to her.

This place has beautiful mountains and waters, and the people are even more beautiful!

If I could settle here permanently, and have a beautiful woman by my side, life would be wonderful...

Gee!

Yang Yanqiu and Xia An chatted with them while they washed clothes, so they didn't find it boring.

noon,

After the two finished washing their clothes, Xia An used the excuse of going into the water to catch fish, but instead took a small basin of willow root fish.

This fish is small, but it tastes great; it's good braised, fried, or steamed.

I've never brought this out before, so it's perfect for a proper lunch.

Seeing Xia An bring out a small half-basin of willow root fish, Chen Zhiyi looked surprised.

"Brother Xia, you're amazing!"

Yang Yanqiu shook his head and smiled wryly, "Catching fish isn't that simple, you..."

"Could it be that some special method was used again to make the fish come to us on their own?"

Xia An shook her head and chuckled, "I guess so, but it's not easy to explain..."

"If it's hard to explain, then there's no need to explain."

Yang Yanqiu waved his hand and said with a smile, "Come on up, we're going back."

"Um!"

Xia An nodded.

The three had just returned to the courtyard when they saw a middle-aged man with a small mustache walking towards them.

"Hello, comrades."

"I'm from Zhaojiatun, my name is Zhao Bing, and I sell medicine door-to-door."

"We specialize in selling cold and fever medicine, wound medicine, and snake venom antidote. Do you need any?"

Xia An raised an eyebrow slightly, glanced at the person in front of her, and felt that there was something unusual about him.

Yang Yanqiu and the other person gave Xia An a strange look.

How could someone want to sell ordinary medicine to a miracle doctor? What was this person thinking?

Zhao Bing laughed and said, "Comrades, it's always good to be prepared. Would you like to buy some?"

"No,"

Xia An shook her head and said, "My brother only knows medicine; we don't need your things."

"Oh?"

Zhao Bing was surprised, "I remember there didn't seem to be a doctor in Anping Village before."

Xia An nodded. "You remember correctly, it wasn't like that before."

"But not long ago, a very skilled educated youth came and became the village's barefoot doctor, so most of your medicines are no longer in demand."

Zhao Bing frowned slightly, his eyes showing a mixture of displeasure and helplessness.

"So, Comrade was also an educated youth sent to the countryside?"

Xia An shook his head and smiled, "No, I'm from Xiajiatun."

"My brother just got married to my sister-in-law and they're temporarily staying in Anping Village. I'm staying with him."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Bing was slightly taken aback, then shook his head and smiled wryly:

"Two doctors in one village? Looks like my trip was a waste."

Xia An shrugged slightly. "I don't know about that. You can give it a try."

Zhao Bing nodded. "You're right, I should definitely give it a try."

"It would be great if someone could buy some, otherwise this trip would have been a complete waste."

Xia An nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over Zhao Bing's canvas bag, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

At this time,

Zhao Bing took the water bottle from his waist: "Comrade, could you please fill me up with some water?"

Xia An smiled and nodded, took the kettle, and handed it to Yang Yanqiu only after confirming that everything was alright.

"Sister-in-law, thank you for your trouble."

Yang Yanqiu nodded, took the kettle to fill it with water, and pulled Chen Zhiyi into the yard in the process.

Zhao Bing offered Xia An a cigarette, which Xia An accepted with a smile.

He had a vague feeling that something was off about this person, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Since this person has come knocking on our door, let's see what kind of person he is.

Zhao Bing lit his cigarette. "Comrade, did you forget your lighter? Would you like me to light it for you?"

Xia An shook her head. "Thank you, but I just smoked one not long ago and I'm still feeling a bit unwell."

Zhao Bing nodded, glancing casually in the direction of the fields.

"I see there's a lot of wheat planted in the fields of Anping Village. Shouldn't it be harvested soon?"

"yes,"

Xia An smiled and nodded. "I heard it happened in the last couple of days. Why is Comrade Zhao asking about this?"

Zhao Bing shook his head and smiled, "Our Zhao Family Village isn't far from here."

"When I saw the situation here, I thought of the village. It's time to go back and do the farming."

Hearing this, Xia An nodded in deep agreement.

"We farmers still prioritize farming, so we should definitely go back home during the busy farming season."

"But I noticed that wheat isn't grown much in most parts of Songlin Commune."

"It shouldn't be too busy lately. As for the busy farming season, that's still more than a month away."

Zhao Bing nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Yang Yanqiu also came out with a water bottle and handed it to Xia An.

Xia An took the document and handed it to Zhao Bing, saying, "By the way, comrade, would you like to come in and have a seat?"
