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

The next day.

When Xia An arrived at the village entrance, he found that there were quite a few people heading to the commune.

Of the educated youth who came yesterday, all but Shen Nian'an did.

In addition, there were three women.

"With so many people, what will happen if they buy too much stuff? How will they get back?"

Xia An raised an eyebrow slightly, but didn't think much of it and walked straight over.

"Good morning, Xia Zhiqing."

Jiang Mengmeng stepped forward to greet them.

"morning!"

Xia An replied, "Why are only the three of you here? Comrade Shen Nian'an isn't here?"

Shen Nianchu shook her head, "We might have to walk a lot today, so I told her to rest at home."

"By the way, this is the drawing she made last night."

As she spoke, she took out a drawing, which clearly showed a simplified diagram of their house.

Xia An folded it and put it into the canvas bag, but actually put it into the spiritual spring space.

He kept the more important things in his spiritual spring space.

Upon Xia An's arrival, Qin Weidong and Song Xiao both nodded in greeting.

"Good morning, Xia Zhiqing."

"morning,"

Xia An responded,

Zhang Qiang still had a sour face, as if someone owed him something.

Just then, the old man beside the oxcart spoke up, "Young man, we've been waiting for you. Get on the cart quickly, and come back soon!"

"Alright, sir!"

Xia An quickly got into the car and sat next to Ye Qingxuan at the back.

Opposite them were two women from Anping Village, Song Xiao, Qin Weidong, and Zhang Qiang.

On his side were a woman, Jiang Mengmeng, Shen Nianchu, and Ye Qingxuan.

Seeing him get into the car, the old man cracked his whip, and the old ox began to walk forward.

Xia An took out a cigarette and offered it to him, asking with a smile, "Sir, what's your name? Will you pay the fare now or when you get back?"

"Just call me Scarface. Give it to me now, they've already given it to everyone else."

The old man took the cigarette and smiled, "It's one cent per trip. If you want to take a ride back later, you'll need to pay two cents."

"Okay, Scarface."

Xia An responded, handed Qin Weidong a cigarette, and took out two cents to give to Scarface.

Seeing that Xia An still didn't offer him a cigarette, Zhang Qiang felt a surge of resentment.

He snorted and took out a cigarette to light it.

Xia An ignored him, put the cigarette back in her bag, and looked at Ye Qingxuan and the others.

What are you planning to buy?

"Besides the items on that list, there are quite a few other things I need to buy."

Ye Qingxuan responded, "We discussed it last night and decided to go to the commune first to see what we can do, and buy as much as we can if we can."

"Besides, isn't Xia Zhiqing planning to build a house to live in later? He'll need cooking utensils and so on."

As she spoke, she handed over a piece of paper. "This is what we discussed and decided last night. Xia Zhiqing can refer to it."

Xia An took the items and glanced at them. The iron pot, water vat, oil lamp, and so on were all daily necessities.

He glanced at the list, noted down what he needed, and handed it back.

Thanks.

You're too kind.

Ye Qingxuan smiled and put the list back into her bag.

At this time,

A woman across from them chuckled, "From what you're saying, you're planning to build a house?"

Xia An nodded, "Yes, Auntie, the educated youth settlement is a bit crowded, so I'd like to move out."

The woman laughed and said, "There's no need for such trouble. Staying here is fine too. If you're interested, I have a spare room."

Xia An shook her head and smiled, "Thank you for your kindness, Auntie, but we've already given the money to the Party Secretary, so I'm afraid we won't be able to get it back."

"I see, that's a pity."

The woman looked somewhat regretful. "You should have stayed here; it would have been much more cost-effective than building your own house."

"It's definitely worth it," Xia An said with a smile, "but isn't it because living in my own house gives me a greater sense of belonging?"

"Moreover, we educated youth went to the countryside in response to the country's call to take root in rural areas, shine and contribute to the country's construction. Building houses is also our determination."

Upon hearing this, the woman beside her couldn't help but shake her head and laugh.

"As expected of an educated youth, they are eloquent and have a high level of awareness."

"However, judging from your delicate skin, I'm afraid you can't do much work, can you?"

Upon hearing this, Xia An shook his head and chuckled:

"Auntie, you can't judge a book by its cover. I'm actually quite strong."

"Besides, everyone has their own strengths. Just do your best in your own area of ​​expertise, and that's good enough."

The woman smiled and said, "You, a former educated youth, are quite eloquent. I'd like to see what skills you have later."

Hearing this, the woman opposite her turned to look at Xia An and chuckled:

"Guihua, don't underestimate Xia Zhiqing. My husband told me that the new educated youth, Xia, knows medicine."

"Luo Hui was poisoned yesterday and broke his leg. It was a educated youth named Xia who cured him. Who knows, it might be him."

Upon hearing this, Guihua and the other girl both looked over, their eyes filled with surprise.

"Xia, Xiulian, are you serious? Do any of the new educated youth here really know medicine?"

Xia An smiled. "If Aunt Xiulian is referring to Brother Luo Hui, then it should be me."

"Oh ho!"

All three women looked surprised.

Guihua quickly gave a thumbs up and said with a smile, "Xia Zhiqing is quite capable. Auntie was wrong just now, please forgive her."

Xia An shook her head and laughed, "Aunt Guihua is joking. You didn't say anything wrong."

Aunt Guihua smiled and said, "To be honest, Xia Zhiqing, Luo Hui is my nephew from my maternal family. I've only heard that he's injured, and I haven't had a chance to visit him yet."

"Since you saved him, you've done a favor for the Luo family. If you ever need anything in the future, you can come to me. Your aunt will never hesitate to help you."

"It was nothing, Auntie, you don't need to go to such lengths," Xia An said with a smile.

"This is no small matter," Scarface said casually, glancing back at him.

"Remember what Chong En from Anping Village said."

"Anping Village is mainly composed of the Xie, Luo, and Kong clans. The number of members from the Xie and Luo clans is about the same, while the number of members from the Kong clan is slightly less."

"Since you saved Luo Hui, you will naturally be treated with courtesy by the Luo family. If you need anything, just say so, and everyone will help."

Hearing this, Aunt Guihua nodded and smiled, "Scarface is right. If Xia Zhiqing needs anything in the future, he can just come to the Luo family."

"it is good."

Xia An nodded and did not refuse again.

Judging from the current situation, the atmosphere in Anping Village is alright, and there are no major problems.

At this moment, the woman next to Aunt Guihua glanced at Ye Qingxuan and the others, her eyes flashing slightly.
