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

A moment later,

The five of them finished off a roast chicken with some side dishes and steamed buns, and chatted for a while longer.

After listening to their general ideas about the division of labor for cooking together,

Xia An then left with half a roast chicken.

This was the extra meal he planned to give to Xie Weiguo for dinner; the remaining half was naturally left for Luo Yunshu and the other four.

Back at the Xie family,

Xie Ling'er was squatting in the yard playing when she saw Xia An return, and she quickly ran over.

"Uncle Xia, you're back?"

"I'm back."

Xia An smiled and asked, "Little Ling'er, have you eaten yet?"

"have eaten."

Xie Ling'er answered crisply, "Uncle, have you eaten?"

"I've already eaten," Xia An said with a smile, placing the roast chicken on the table in the main room.

"Where's your grandma?"

Xie Ling'er blinked her big eyes and said, "Grandma went to the fields and told me not to run around at home."

"Oh, I see," Xia An smiled, "Then how about I take you out for a trip?"

"Okay, okay."

Xie Ling'er asked excitedly, "Uncle, where are we going to play?"

"Go outside the village, along the ridges between the fields."

Xia An took a small basket and a wood-chopping knife, and led Xie Ling'er away from the courtyard.

As the two walked along the road, Xia An would collect some medicinal herbs that could treat colds, fevers, or sprains.

There were plenty of medicinal herbs by the roadside and in the fields, but not many weeds, which he guessed the team members had left on purpose.

After all, the commune seemed to have a business of collecting medicinal herbs.

Therefore, he simply collected some and planted them in the spiritual spring space.

After the clinic opened, the dried food could be stored for later use, which would reduce the hassle of collecting it.

After that, he planned to do the same for all the rare, hard-to-collect, and commonly used medicinal herbs.

Looking at Xie Ling'er skipping and hopping ahead, Xia An's lips curled into a slight smile. "Little Ling'er, are you usually at home?"

"Yes," Xie Ling'er said with a smile, "all the kids in the village are pretty much the same."

"I heard that only older brothers and sisters aged six and above can come out to play together."

"The other children need to stay at home and are not allowed to go out."

"My dad said that I can go to school after I turn eight, but my brother Chenchen said that school is not fun and the teachers are really scary."

"Really?" Xia An smiled. "Teachers aren't that scary. They can teach a lot of knowledge and make children smarter."

"Really?"

Xie Ling'er blinked, looking completely bewildered.

"real."

Xia An smiled and said, "You'll find out after you go to school."

As he spoke, he looked towards the east side of the village, where there were many figures in the fields.

"Come on, let's go to the fields and see how your dad and the others are working."

"Okay, okay!"

Xie Ling'er clapped her hands and laughed.

Xia An smiled, picked her up, and walked along the ridge of the field towards that direction.

If a suitable medicinal herb is found, it can be transplanted into the spiritual spring space with a slight thought.

Convenient and fast!

Soon,

The two approached the people working in the field, and both sides could see them.

"Uncle, it's hot."

Xie Ling'er leaned on Xia An's shoulder, looking limp and a little listless.

Xia An shook his head and smiled. The sun was quite strong today; he had been a bit inconsiderate.

He took out the water bottle and said with a smile, "Here, a little water will make you feel much better."

"Um."

Xie Ling'er took a sip of water from the kettle he handed her and instantly felt refreshed.

"It's not hot anymore, Uncle is amazing."

Seeing that she had regained her energy, Xia An chuckled and carried her to the field.

"Xia, you educated youth, what brings you here?"

Upon seeing Xia An and the other person approach, Aunt Xiangyun quickly came over.

"Auntie, when I got back I saw Xiaoling in the yard, so I took her out for a walk."

"Thank you for your help."

Aunt Xiangyun smiled.

"It's no trouble at all." Xia An shook her head. "Auntie, you go about your business, I just came to check on you."

"What are you busy with?"

Aunt Xiangyun smiled and shook her head, "I just came to deliver food and helped Yue'er with a little something."

"The work is all divided into pre-assigned tasks. If you help her with a little, she'll have to do less."

"That's good."

Xia An smiled and said, "I think we're just weeding right now, it shouldn't be too tiring, right?"

"Not tired."

Aunt Xiangyun smiled and said, "Your batch of educated youth arrived at just the right time. Now that things are a little more relaxed, you'll get used to it."

"If we arrive right at the start of spring planting or the harvest season, it will be really tiring."

"really."

Xia An nodded in agreement.

Aunt Xiangyun pointed to the shade of a tree not far away and said with a smile, "Let's go over there. There are trees there specifically for resting, which will provide shade."

"good!"

Xia An carried Xie Ling'er, and the three of them came to the shade of a tree.

At this moment, many people were resting under the shade of the tree, and they looked over with curiosity.

Xia An nodded in acknowledgment.

Aunt Xiangyun smiled and said, "When we work in the team, the work points for each task are already assigned, and we can rest after we finish our work."

"If you don't finish your work by the end of the workday, your work points will be reduced accordingly. So those who work quickly will get a break, while those who work slowly will have to work a little longer."

Xia An nodded.

However, he has now agreed to Xie Weiguo and the others taking over the health clinic.

After that, apart from spring sowing and autumn harvest, there was no need to go to the fields at other times.

After sitting for a while, Aunt Xiangyun stood up and said:

"Xia, please have Ling'er sit for a while. I'll go make something for Yue'er."

"it is good."

Xia An agreed, and Aunt Xiangyun left.

On the field,

Many people had already noticed Xia An's presence and would glance at him from time to time.

After a day of discussion, many team members learned of Xia An's existence regarding Luo Hui's matter.

They were all curious about this person who knew medicine, and held him in a slight respect.

Scarface's words about the kindness shown to Xia An in Anping Village are not untrue; at least for now, many people look at Xia An with friendliness.

Xia An glanced at the people working in the fields, his eyes showing some surprise.

In that brief moment, he saw the presence of two golden flowers between their eyebrows.

Most of the people were either facing away from him or hunched over, which he didn't see.

This Anping Village is absolutely outrageous!

This must be a gathering place for beauties, isn't it? This is a bit too terrifying!

Just then, two young men who had been resting under the shade of the tree walked over.

"You must be the new educated youth, Xia. We're the veteran educated youth, shall we get to know each other?"

Xia An stood up and smiled, "I am Xia An, a native of Beijing. May I ask how you two educated youth comrades are addressed?"

Wu Tao is from Shandong.

"Qin Yu, a native of Harbin."

The two laughed and said, "We've heard Qin Weidong talk about Xia Zhiqing; he's indeed extraordinary."

"You flatter me."

Xia An laughed and said, "We were all sent-down youth, we're all the same."

"Well said. Xia Zhiqing's insights are far better than that damn Zhang Qiang's."

Wu Tao and the other man smiled and said, "We'll get back to work now, but we'll grab a drink sometime."

"it is good."

Xia An nodded and watched the two leave.

Zhang Qiang?

Could it be that Zhang Qiang's antics today were related to these former educated youth?

At this time,

Xie Ling'er held his hand and pointed to another shady spot a few dozen meters away, saying:

"Uncle, shall we go over there? I saw Qingqing and the others."

Xia An glanced over there and saw five or six children, around six or seven years old, sitting under the shade of a tree.

"Okay, let's go."

Xia An nodded, picked her up, and walked over.
