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

"No rush!"

Li Jia quickly shook his head and smiled, "Brother Xia, I'm planning to collect some dried goods around here. I wonder if Brother Xia has any connections?"

"Where did I come from...?"

Xia An was about to shake his head when he seemed to suddenly remember something.

"I don't have the channels myself, but perhaps someone does."

"Who?" Li Jia asked.

Xia Jiang,

Xia An smiled and said, "This person is said to be from Xiajiatun in the mountains, where there is almost no contact with the outside world. Perhaps he has some mountain products that you might be interested in."

"Xia Jiang, I vaguely remember him. I think we got the roe deer meat from him that time."

Li Jia smiled and said, "I'll go talk to him later."

Xia An nodded slightly. "I remember he also had a cousin, who was said to be a forest ranger."

"Those animals that often roam in the mountains might also have some local products."

Li Jia nodded. "Thank you, Brother Xia."

beside,

Luo Yunshu and Kong Qingci exchanged a glance as they watched the two talking.

They knew Li Jia's identity, and their eyes held a mixture of speechlessness and curiosity.

I wonder what Xia An is really up to with this whole performance.

At this time,

Xia An chuckled and said, "Yun Shu, would you please go and prepare the meal with Qing Ci?"

"We asked Comrade Ye Gu and the others to cook for us a few days ago, and we haven't thanked them yet."

"good,"

Kong Qingci and the other person nodded and turned to walk towards the neighboring courtyard.

Xie Lingyun was about to go and help when Xia An stopped her, saying:

"Lingyun, could you please make me a few cups of tea before I go and invite Comrade Ye Gu and the others?"

"good!"

Xie Lingyun nodded quickly, her eyes filled with a smile.

Seeing her leave, Xie Lingxiu took two steps forward, her face showing hesitation, and said:

"Brother Xia, do you need my help?"

Xia An glanced at her and the three little ones, winked and smiled:

"You play with Ling'er and the others, and we'll have dinner here tonight."

"No...no...it's not necessary."

Xie Lingxiu quickly waved her hand in refusal.

But Xia An waved his hand and laughed, "It doesn't matter where we eat, it's still eating."

"Don't worry, eating here every few days won't bankrupt us."

Xie Lingxiu shook her head again, "Thank you, Brother Xia, but it's still not necessary."

"I still need to cook for my family. If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

Xia An raised an eyebrow, but didn't offer any further advice.

"In that case, I won't try to persuade you any further. Remember to come back to learn again tomorrow."

"Uh-huh,"

Xie Lingxiu nodded quickly, her gaze falling on the three little ones, Xie Ling'er.

"Ling'er, let's go back first."

But Xia An shook his head and smiled, "Little Ling'er, why don't you eat here with your uncle? Uncle will take you home later, okay?"

Hearing this, Xie Ling'er blinked, seemingly somewhat tempted.

Kong Xiuyuan shook his head. "Thank you, teacher, but my grandfather told me that I must go home to eat."

Xia An raised an eyebrow. "What, is your grandpa afraid you'll eat me out of house and home?"

Kong Xiuyuan scratched his head and smiled: "It shouldn't be, but my grandfather did tell me."

Luo Qingqing smiled and said, "Thank you, teacher. My grandfather said the same thing."

Xia An raised an eyebrow and turned to look at Xie Ling'er.

"Little Ling'er, your grandfather wouldn't have said that too, would he?"

Xie Ling'er shook her head, blinked, and said, "Uncle, I don't remember."

As she spoke, she looked at Xie Lingyun, "But... can I really go back with my aunt?"

"all right!"

Xia An smiled and said, "Afterwards, I'll take you and your aunt back."

"Thank you, Uncle."

Xie Ling'er said cheerfully.

Seeing this, Xie Lingxiu didn't say anything and left with Kong Xiuyuan and the other person.

The neighboring yard,

Upon hearing that Xie Ling'er would stay, Luo Yunshu and the other woman both assumed they would have to personally take charge today.

Unexpectedly, upon entering Xia An's main room, they discovered that the puppet was there.

The two exchanged a glance, somewhat surprised and suspicious.

What happened?

What is Xia An planning to do? Isn't he afraid that Xie Ling'er will go back and talk nonsense?

"Do it normally?"

Kong Qingci raised an eyebrow slightly and said,

The illusory form that resembled her nodded slightly, and the same voice rang out:

"The Xie family can be trusted."

"Even if you don't remind her, Secretary Xie will remind her when she goes back. Xie Ling'er won't talk nonsense."

"Besides, with Li Jia covering up the food source, there won't be any problems."

Upon hearing this, Kong Qingci and Luo Yunshu nodded and went directly into the inner room.

Immediately, he drew the curtains, took out a chess set, and prepared to play a couple of games.

Cook?

Isn't there a puppet controlled by Xia An?

Xia An manipulates puppets to cook, and the food tastes far better than what they do.

Why go through all that trouble?

the other side,

As Xie Lingxiu passed by Xie Wei's house, Aunt Xiangyun looked surprised and said:

"Lingxiu, didn't Xiaoling'er come back with you?"

Xie Lingxiu usually escorted Xie Ling'er back, but this time Xie Lingxiu returned instead.

Xie Ling'er did not return, and Aunt Xiangyun couldn't help but look surprised and suspicious.

"Auntie, it's like this..."

Xie Lingxiu quickly gave a brief explanation of what had just happened, and then said,

"Don't worry, Auntie, Brother Xia will bring Xiaoling back later."

Aunt Xiangyun understood, and said with a helpless expression:

"That little Ling'er is really something, how could she do that to Xia Zhiqing..."

She shook her head as she spoke, "Lingxiu, come in and sit for a while."

Xie Lingxiu shook her head, "No need, Auntie, I still need to go back and cook."

Aunt Xiangyun shook her head and smiled, "Alright, then I won't keep you any longer."

"Auntie, wait a moment!"

Xie Lingxiu smiled, turned around and walked quickly towards her home.

Aunt Xiangyun shook her head and smiled, "I hope this little girl can achieve something in her studies."

As Xie Weiguo's bedmate, she naturally knew bits and pieces of information about the clinic.

Kong Qingci and Xie Lingyun were sent there for ulterior motives.

Only Xie Lingxiu truly wanted to learn medicine from Xia An.

As for the presence of multiple doctors in Anpingtun, will there be any competition issues?

This was not within their consideration.

If you have excellent medical skills, it would be even better to leave the countryside and go to the city!

Otherwise, even if she marries someone from another village later,

Alternatively, marrying into Anping Village would allow one to receive excellent treatment through medical skills.

Aunt Xiangyun smiled, turned around and walked into the outer kitchen; she was about to start cooking.

The sound of the gong signaling the end of the workday also heralded the end of the day.

In Anpingtun,

While everyone else was starting to cook, Xia An's meal was already on the table.
