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

"Brother Xia An, what brings you here?"

Seeing Xia An walk into the field, and then walk towards her, Luo Yunshu asked in surprise,

Xia An handed her the water bottle, saying, "I have to go back now. You can use this bottle for now!"

Luo Yunshu blinked, realized what was happening, and quickly waved her hand, saying:

"No need, I..."

She hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'll just take a sip; that should last until I finish work."

As he spoke, he took the water bottle, took a sip, and then handed it back.

"Okay, thank you, Brother Xia An!"

Xia An shook her head and chuckled, "You're too kind. Are you sure you don't need to keep it?"

"No need, Brother Xia An."

Luo Yunshu quickly waved her hand, saying that this water was very special and could not be left behind.

Xia An shook his head and smiled, reminding him, "Then you should be more careful. The sun is unusually strong today, and it's easy to get heatstroke. Rest when you're tired."

Luo Yunshu's eyebrows curved slightly, and she nodded quickly.

"Okay, I understand. You can go back now, Xia An."

Xia An nodded and turned to leave.

Seeing this, the other team members chuckled and teased:

"Yun Shu, I get the feeling that this Xia Zhiqing has feelings for you?"

"I feel the same way, Xiao Yunshu, do you have any thoughts?"

"Where?" Luo Yunshu's cheeks flushed, and she quickly stopped her.

"Second sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense!"

Seeing this, the group laughed even harder.

"Haha, is Yun Shu shy?"

"Don't be shy, I think this Xia Zhiqing is quite good, you can give it a try."

"This educated youth Xia is good-looking, but she's a bit too thin for farming."

"What do you know? The educated youth from the countryside know medicine. They can support their families by treating the villagers."

"That's true."

Hearing what the others said, Luo Yunshu's heart pounded like a drum, and she quickly lowered her head to get back to work.

To be honest, she didn't know why, but she always felt particularly close to Xia An.

"Could it be... that I really like Xia An?"

Luo Yunshu couldn't help but mutter to herself, then quickly shook her head, not daring to think about it any further.

the other side.

Xia An carried a small basket on his back, held Xie Ling'er in his arms, and walked towards the village with Aunt Xiangyun.

"Auntie, I've noticed that people in the team are being a bit secretive about Yang Yanqiu's family. Why is that?"

Xia An pretended not to know and asked.

Aunt Xiangyun shook her head and sighed, "Their family was sent down to the countryside. Normally, given the customs of our Anping Village, we wouldn't be so secretive about them."

"But when we first arrived and were helping them build houses, we don't know which heartless little bastard reported us."

"The team was criticized by the commune, and as a result, the team headquarters told everyone to be mindful of their behavior."

"Doing this is to protect them, and also to protect the team members themselves."

"The team members won't offer to help or make things difficult for us; they'll just let us do our jobs normally."

Hearing this, Xia An nodded in understanding.

Aunt Xiangyun shook her head slightly and continued, "I think Xia Zhiqing is a kind-hearted person, but it's best to avoid contact with their family."

"In addition, there's the Chen family too."

Xia An nodded, "I will be more careful in the future. Thank you for reminding me, Auntie."

You're too kind.

The three walked quickly along the village road.

Suddenly, Xia An's eyes narrowed as she looked at the furtive figures on the riverbank.

Isn't that Zhang Qiang? What's he doing sneakily?

wrong!

There's something off about this kid's gaze.

Xia An followed his gaze and saw Chen Zhiyi washing something by the river.

He had a bad feeling in his heart. Could it be that Zhang Qiang knew about Chen Zhiyi's family problems and was planning to cause some trouble again?

This kid has a foul mouth, and to make matters worse, he likes to bring up ingredient issues.

It's a typical case of bullying the weak and fearing the strong. Chen Zhiyi is timid, and I'm afraid she's in danger.

"Auntie, I saw a friend. I'll go say hello. You take Ling'er home first."

As he spoke, he put Xie Ling'er down.

"Uncle Xia, I want to go with you."

Xie Ling'er blinked her big eyes, her little face filled with innocence and curiosity.

Xia An shook his head and smiled, "Ling'er, be good, go back with Grandma first, Uncle will go back later, okay?"

Aunt Xiangyun also laughed and said, "Little Ling'er, stop bothering your Uncle Xia and come home with Grandma."

Upon hearing this, Xie Ling'er hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said:

"Uncle Xia, you should come back soon."

"it is good."

Xia An agreed and watched the two leave hand in hand before quickly walking towards the riverbank.

Seeing Zhang Qiang stealthily approaching Chen Zhiyi, Xia An's eyes flickered, and she suddenly shouted:

"Zhang Zhiqing, what are you doing?"

Zhang Qiang was startled and quickly turned around, only to see Xia An walking briskly towards him.

"Xia An, are you out of your mind? Why are you shouting like that all of a sudden?"

"Oh?"

Xia An's expression turned cold. "Why is Zhang Zhiqing reacting so strongly? Could it be that he's doing something wrong?"

"Or do you have a problem with me?"

As he spoke, he strode over, a dangerous glint in his eyes.

Zhang Qiang was startled and unconsciously took two steps back.

"Who did something wrong? You're crazy!"

Seeing Xia An approaching quickly, he snorted coldly and turned to leave.

There aren't many people around here. If Xia An, that madman, goes crazy, he'll be the one who suffers.

Xia An watched him walk away coldly, but did not leave immediately, her brows furrowing slightly.

He turned to look at Chen Zhiyi and said loudly:

"Comrade, do you know Chen Zhiyi? Yang Yanqiu is injured, let her go and take care of her."

"What? Sister Yang is injured?"

Chen Zhiyi was startled and quickly got up and walked over, asking with a worried expression:

"Comrade, are you serious?"

"Yes!" Xia An nodded. "My name is Xia An. I just came from over there. Yang Yanqiu asked me to pass on some message. Do you know him?"

Chen Zhiyi nodded quickly, her eyes revealing a hint of strangeness, but more so, worry.

"Comrade Xia, I am Chen Zhiyi. I'll pack up and head over now."

"So you're Chen Zhiyi," Xia An said loudly. "In that case, let's go over there quickly, they're waiting over there."

After saying that, he whispered:

"That kid had bad intentions. Don't be alone."

Chen Zhiyi nodded quickly, giving Xia An a grateful look.

Xia An's voice just now startled not only Zhang Qiang, but also her.

She glanced back and saw a man stealthily approaching, and she was terrified.

If Xia An hadn't come to her rescue, she would have fled in panic.

"Thank you, Brother Xia..."

She expressed her gratitude and then said loudly, "Thank you for conveying the message, Comrade Xia. I'll be right there."

"Alright, go ahead."

Xia An called out loudly, then turned and walked towards Zhang Qiang.

Zhang Qiang's eyes narrowed, and he said coldly, "Xia An, what are you doing following me?"

"What you're saying, Zhang Zhiqing? I was walking along the river, which is the shortest route back to the village. How does that make me following you?"

Xia An said coldly,

"By the way, what were you up to, sneaking up on Comrade Chen like that?"

"What's it to you?" Zhang Qiang said coldly, but his feet unconsciously took a few steps back.

"How can it not concern me?" Xia An sneered. "If you do evil, you are tarnishing the reputation of our educated youth community. Since I, Xia An, have seen it, I have the right to stop you."

"You're the one who does evil."

Zhang Qiang's expression hardened, and he retorted.

Seeing that his eyes were slightly evasive, Xia An thought to himself, "Just as I expected."
