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

An Lan blushed slightly, but then felt a little disappointed when she thought that Xia An didn't seem to know her at all.

She bit her lower lip lightly, took two quick steps forward, and turned to face Xia An.

"Xia, we don't know each other yet. My name is An Lan. We are both educated youth. I hope you will take good care of me in the future."

As she spoke, she reached out her hand, as if to shake hands with Xia An.

Xia An raised her eyes slightly, somewhat surprised.

very good!

Another sign-in! Anlan, you're great!

He reached out and gently shook it, and a system notification sounded in his ear:

"Congratulations, host, on your first successful skin check-in! You have received 10 Great Unity cards, a Phoenix brand bicycle, and 12 pairs of canvas shoes."

"The item reward has been placed in your Spirit Spring Space. Please check it."

He withdrew his hand, smiled, and said, "You should know my name—Xia An. We're all comrades who went to the countryside; we help each other out."

An Lan nodded quickly and asked with a smile, "Xia, where are you from?"

"From Beijing!"

Xia An responded, then casually asked, "Where's An, the educated youth?"

An Lan seemed to be in a good mood, and said with a bright smile, "I'm from Hebei, and I've been here for more than three years."

"Three years?"

Xia An was somewhat surprised, "So, An Qingqing was almost among the earliest batch."

An Lan shook her head. "No, Wu Tao was already here when we arrived."

Xia An nodded. It seemed that Wu Tao must be the male educated youth Xie Weiguo had mentioned.

"It's really impressive that An, as an educated youth sent to the countryside, was able to stay here for three years!"

An Lan shook her head slightly, a bitter feeling welling up inside her. She was actually very, very tired.

Aunt Yumei from the team had approached her about matchmaking several times, and she was almost tempted the last time.

But considering the possibility of returning to the city, he didn't agree!

As she thought this, a strange look appeared in the depths of her eyes as she looked at Xia An.

But she quickly concealed this unusual behavior, so no one noticed.

"You flatter me, Xia Zhiqing."

An Lan smiled, seemingly unwilling to continue discussing this topic, and changed the subject:

"Xia, I see that the house has five rooms besides the clinic. Are you each staying in one room?"

"No, that's not it."

Xia An shook her head and smiled. "The room near the infirmary was a gift from the team; they said it would be considered my assigned dormitory."

As he spoke, he smiled and said, "If I can stay, whether I continue to work as a barefoot doctor or not, that house will be mine."

"Otherwise, it's someone from the team."

Upon hearing this, a strange light flashed in An Lan's eyes, and she smiled:

"Secretary Xie and the others were quite kind to Xia, the educated youth; they even gave him a room."

"It's really good!"

Xia An nodded, but knew very well that it was just a tempting taste of sweetness.

Xie Weiguo and his group intended to try this method to see if they could get him to stay in Anping Village.

The kind of thing where you don't go back to the city afterwards!

At this time,

Luo Yunshu smiled and said, "In my memory, An Zhiqing doesn't seem to talk much, but she's quite talkative today."

"Yeah?"

An Lan's heart tightened; she sensed hostility from this woman. She quickly smiled and said:

"Comrade Luo, you flatter me. I'm quite talkative with people I find agreeable."

"Xia is a good educated youth. Apart from Wan'er, I feel she's a good match for me."

Luo Yunshu's expression hardened, and she gave her a deep look, a playful glint in her eyes:

"So it's about selecting people?"

Xia An looked at the two who had suddenly become at odds with a puzzled expression.

Fortunately, this atmosphere didn't last long.

Luo Yunshu's home was located a little to the west, very close to the educated youth settlement.

Upon seeing Luo Yunshu and the other two return, Ye Qingxuan and the others were overjoyed.

Of course,

Seeing An Lan follow, the others simultaneously narrowed their eyes.

"Is An Zhiqing here to see a doctor?"

"no,"

Luo Yunshu shook her head and said, "They wanted Xia An to transfer one of his prey, but Xia An had reservations and didn't agree."

With that, he strode into the main room.

"and then?"

Ye Qingxuan asked.

Xia An shook her head slightly and explained, "I won't sell the game, but I thought there were still a few fish in the house, so I asked her to come and get one."

As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Yunshu came out carrying a crucian carp.

The crucian carp was neither too big nor too small, and looked to weigh about four ounces.

She handed the fish to An Lan and smiled:

"An, you should go back now, don't keep the other educated youth waiting."

An Lan took the fish, feeling somewhat helpless.

I wanted to talk to Xia An more, but these people seemed wary of her.

"Xia, I'll head back now."

As she spoke, she turned and left, the penny fluttering to the ground.

Ye Qingxuan quickly said, "An Zhiqing, you dropped your money."

An Lan turned her head and pretended to be confused, saying, "That's not my money. It might belong to Xia Zhiqing. I usually don't carry money with me."

"I'm leaving now, you guys keep going."

With that, he glanced at Xia An again, then picked up the fish and left.

"That's interesting!"

Ye Qingxuan handed the money to Xia An and said with a light laugh, "This person is quite sensible."

Xia An nodded slightly, said nothing, took the money and casually put it into her bag.

The real big win has already been received through the sign-in system; these are just small, insignificant benefits.

Even if An Lan didn't give it to him, he wouldn't say anything, but he seemed to be quite sensible.

He shook his head and smiled, handing the pheasant to Ye Qingxuan, saying, "You should get rid of the rabbit and this pheasant as soon as possible, they'll spoil easily if left unattended."

Ye Qingxuan took the pheasant, her expression slightly complicated, and hesitated before saying:

"Xia An, you're bringing all your prey here without asking us for money. This doesn't seem like we're cooking together."

Xia An was slightly taken aback, vaguely understanding her meaning, then shook her head and smiled:

"Qingxuan is right. Then just consider it as me having ulterior motives towards you."

"Pah, that's utter nonsense!"

Ye Qingxuan quickly spat lightly, her face slightly flushed, and turned to leave with the pheasant in her hand.

Jiang Mengmeng's face also flushed slightly. She glanced around and whispered:

"Xia An, even if you really have such thoughts, you can't say them out loud. It'll cause trouble if word gets out, you know?"

After saying that, he turned around and followed Ye Qingxuan.

The Shen sisters nodded slightly, said nothing, and did not linger.

Xia An raised an eyebrow slightly. He had just spoken offhand and already admitted he had misspoke.

Unexpectedly, the four people reacted rather strangely; they weren't angry at all?

Also, Jiang Mengmeng, what did you mean by that?

Xia An turned to look at Luo Yunshu, only to see her shake her head and smile.

"Brother Xia An, jokes are fine at home, but don't spread them around outside."

joke?

Xia An was slightly taken aback. Did Luo Yunshu think he was joking?

But even if it's a joke, given the circumstances of this day, how could someone make such a joke?
