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

"Brother Xia An, please don't go into the mountains to risk your life anymore, okay?"

Luo Yunshu followed Xia An out, her face showing worry. "There are too many wild animals in the mountains, some of which can eat people. It's too dangerous."

"Yes!" Jiang Mengmeng chimed in, "Xia An, it's too dangerous in the mountains."

Ye Qingxuan hesitated for a moment, "I know you want to go into the mountains to collect herbs, but the mountains are really too dangerous. Even if you want to go, you can go with the hunters in the team instead of going alone."

Shen Nian'an nodded in agreement.

Xia An's gaze swept over the crowd, noticing the worry in their eyes, a hint of confusion in her own.

We've only known each other for a few days, why are you so worried about him?

Could it be that she's fallen for him?

He smiled and said, "I'll listen to Qingxuan and won't take any more risks."

"Besides, I was only on the outskirts today, and the danger on the outskirts of the mountains is still very small."

Ye Qingxuan shook her head and said:

"No matter where you are, it's a treacherous forest where people will devour you without spitting out the bones. It's best to be careful."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Xia An smiled and nodded, then looked at Ye Qingxuan and the other three to change the subject:

"Just started work today, are you getting used to it?"

Hearing this, Shen Nian'an made a face and rubbed her lower back, saying, "I'm a little tired!"

Jiang Mengmeng nodded in agreement, "It is indeed a bit tiring; my hands are all blistered."

Ye Qingxuan shook her head and said, "You should be content."

"We're a bit tired, but Xia An is taking care of us. Song Xiao and the others will probably just lie down and not want to move once they get back to the educated youth settlement."

Upon hearing this, Shen Nianchu nodded, a look of gratitude appearing on her usually cool face.

"Thanks to Xia An, we recovered quickly and were indeed much more relaxed than the others."

Upon hearing these words, Luo Yunshu nodded in understanding.

It was obvious that Xia An had divided his specially made medicine among the four of them.

Xia An smiled and said, "You'll get used to it. I'm going back now, you guys should get some rest too."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yunshu quickly replied:

"Brother Xia An, I cooked extra food today, let's eat together."

Xia An glanced at the group, somewhat tempted, but shook his head and said:

"Uncle Xie and the others should have saved some food for me; they might even be waiting for me to come back."

"You guys eat, and don't forget to invite Sister Yuxue to eat some too."

After saying that, he shouldered his basket and left.

Seeing this, the group was slightly disappointed and glanced at the room in unison.

Luo Yunshu said, "Mengmeng, bring the food to the main room, I'll go call her."

Having said that, he turned and went into the inner room.

……

the other side,

Xia An had just returned to the Xie family home when she heard Xie Ling'er's voice.

"Mom, Uncle Xia is back."

Immediately afterward, the little dumpling ran over and hugged his leg, "Uncle Xia!"

"Little Ling'er."

Xia An picked her up. "Where did you go today? I didn't see you when I got back."

"At home..." Xie Ling'er blinked her big eyes and said, then shook her head.

"No, I went out to play with my grandma this afternoon, I'm not home."

Xia An smiled and took out a red, round-faced roly-poly doll from her bosom.

"Hey, Uncle brought you a gift, do you like it?"

"Wow, it looks so good."

Xie Ling'er exclaimed in surprise as she grabbed the doll, touching it with obvious affection.

At this moment, Xie Weiguo and his group came out of the main room.

Xie Weiguo said, "You brat, I told you not to go into the mountains, come in and eat."

"Okay, Uncle Xie."

Xia An put Xie Ling'er down. "Little Ling'er, go inside first. Uncle will go wash his hands, okay?"

"good!"

Xie Ling'er nodded obediently and came to Luo Yue's side with the roly-poly doll in her arms.

Xia An placed the basket under the eaves, then washed the handles and went inside.

Looking at the untouched dishes on the table, he smiled sheepishly.

"Uncle Xie, you guys eat first. They're all waiting for me, how can I accept that?"

"Stop dawdling and sit down."

Xie Weiguo shook his head, glancing at the baby in Xie Ling'er's arms as he spoke.

"Don't spend so much money next time, it's not good."

Xia An smiled and said, "It's just a little thing, why would you spend so much money on it?"

"It's perfectly normal for me, as the uncle, to give Xiaoling a small gift."

Xie Weiguo shook his head. "Let's eat first, we can talk about the rest later."

"good!"

Xia An nodded.

Perhaps because there are plenty of vegetables in the summer, the Xie family's dinner table never lacks at least three dishes.

Of course, even in the Xie family, meat dishes are not served often, only once every few days.

Soon,

After finishing their meal, Luo Yue cleared away the dishes and chopsticks, and everyone sat under the eaves to enjoy the cool air.

Xie Weiguo said in a low voice, "You're a troublemaker. Tomorrow, let Luo Jun stay with you temporarily. Luo Hui is injured, and he's single."

"This…"

Xia An hesitated. "Uncle Xie, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

"Brother Luo Jun still needs to hunt, and I don't go into the mountains often. If he comes with me, my income will be reduced a lot."

"It's alright!" Xie Weiguo shook his head and said, "There are six hunters in the team; they'll go into the mountains in pairs."

"Luo Jun originally planned to team up with others, but since you want to go into the mountains, let him follow you for a few days for now."

"All right!"

Xia An nodded.

To be honest, he didn't want Luo Jun to come along, as it would hinder his performance.

But since Xie Weiguo had already said that, he couldn't very well refuse.

Otherwise, they probably wouldn't allow him to enter the mountains again, which would have an even greater impact.

"Uncle Xie, I'll go take the herbs out and let them air dry a bit, so they don't spoil."

As he spoke, Xia An got up, grabbed two winnowing baskets, and took the herbs out of the basket on his back.

Some of them were taken from the space, and they were all unplanted.

Seeing that both winnowing baskets were full, Xie Weiguo exclaimed in surprise:

"I remember you went in the afternoon, right? This is way too much."

"At this speed, not to mention anything else, he could support a family just by collecting herbs."

Xia An smiled and said, "I was lucky today, and the mountains are rich in medicinal herbs, which is why I was able to pick so many."

"That might not be the case later."

"That's already very impressive."

Xie Weiguo shook his head and said, "I've seen Uncle Luo gather herbs; he gathers about the same amount as you in a day."

Xia An smiled, realizing that she had taken out perhaps a little too much.

But he never expected that his herb-gathering speed would be so amazing after using the cheat!

You should know that besides the ones that were planted, he also had half of his space left.

Xia An placed the two baskets of medicinal herbs under the eaves, not intending to sort them yet.

The light is insufficient; we'll discuss it again when it's light.

He smiled and said, "Uncle Xie, I'm going to rest now. You should all get some rest too."

"Go."

Xie Weiguo nodded.

Xia An washed her feet, then went into the side room and lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed).

outside,

Xie Weiguo's voice came through.

"I have to go out for a bit. You guys go to sleep early and don't worry about me."

Upon hearing this, Xia An's eyes flickered slightly, and he seemed to be deep in thought.
