Chapter 70: Jiaojiao is spoiled by the rough man

However, Su Wanwan tried it herself. She and her father took turns carrying the luggage before moving it to the branch secretary's office!

"Then I'll have to trouble Brother Xu Yan." Realizing this, Su Wanwan lowered her head slightly.

"It's just a backpack. Don't tell me there's no other heavy things in it?" Putting down the package, Xu Yan seemed to be pointing out something intentionally.

"Brother Xu Yan." Hearing these words, Su Wanwan immediately understood what he meant and called out shyly in a low voice.

Li Meifen followed closely behind Xu Yan... Zhong Qingqing had revealed the existence of Bai Luwei to her at the radio station last night.

Now it seems that her speculation about this person last night has been confirmed by reality.

He was the one who had been colluding with the female educated youth to exclude Zhong Qingqing. As for Bai Luwei who was walking at the end of the team, he was very tall but extremely thin, as if he was a breathing stick insect in a stretched posture.

After several people jumped onto the ox cart one after another, an old man driving cattle came over from the back of the village, holding a willow whip that had been almost peeled tightly in his hand.

"Okay, let's go. Be careful on the road, and remember to say you haven't had lunch yet when you get there in the afternoon." Watching the young people carrying their luggage on the oxcart taking them away, Secretary Wang turned around and walked back to the office. Village Chief Su Yang stood there until the oxcart completely disappeared in the distance, and then he also went into the office.

"Oh, I hope this White Reed doesn't cause any trouble to our village over there.

"Seeing the village chief Su Yang enter the office, Secretary Wang sighed helplessly.

It turned out that Secretary Wang's estimate of this trip was a bit conservative. The ox cart set out before dawn, passing through one bumpy road after another, and there was still no sign of human settlement until it was getting dark.

"Could it be that Secretary Wang really thinks we are a nuisance and wants to find a way to starve us to death on the road?" Bai Luwei, the only one among them, was quite talkative. After getting on the bus, he kept trying to strike up a conversation with other people in the car, but the old man driving the car was the only one who remained unmoved.

"Even if Secretary Wang really means that, he might just choose to starve you to death, right?" Li Meifen said half-jokingly at this time, but Wanwan did not say anything. For her, she had never met Bai Luwei before, and had heard some rumors about him in the village. Although he had never caused any major trouble, he often instigated disputes among young people. It seemed that it had nothing to do with her, but in fact, he was involved in a lot of right and wrong.

However, she did not expect that it was Li Meifen who spoke up to relieve her boredom. Li Meifen seemed to have pressed the mute button on the ox cart. As an educated young woman in the village, she was always sharp, but now she was quiet.

"Why just me?" Facing Li Meifen's answer, Bai Luwei immediately shifted his gaze to look directly at her, and casually picked two stems of withered grass from the roadside and put them in his mouth.

"Have you forgotten? On the morning before the list came out, you surrounded Secretary Wang and made an endless fuss? Maybe he was fed up with you, so he chose to add those young people who gave you a headache to the list. Otherwise, how could you have gotten away with it so easily?" At this point, Li Meifen revealed one of the hidden reasons behind this exchange.

After Li Meifen finished her analysis, Wanwan suddenly realized something. She remembered that Xu Yan's reputation in the village had never been very good, and she had wondered why Secretary Wang and her father would support the exchange despite the huge opposition in the village. At this moment, she realized that the answer to this question might lie here.

Thinking of this, Wanwan subconsciously turned her head and quietly looked at Xu Yan beside her.

After boarding the ox cart, Bai Luwei's incessant chatter did not seem to stop, but Su Wanwan discovered that he would always carefully glance at Xu Yan before speaking. After seeing that Xu Yan did not say anything, he would reveal his usual unruly attitude and start chatting with other passengers.

Su Wanwan originally thought that Xu Yan had a lot of things to say to her on the way to Baihua Village after bidding farewell to the village environment. But for some reason, Xu Yan was unusually silent today and did not even take the initiative to talk to her.

"I thought... So they had to make me come to the village for this reason. After all, I wasn't outstanding in the production team, and I didn't have a good relationship with people. Now I understand."

Although Bai Luwei is outspoken and a troublemaker, it doesn't mean he is stupid. After hearing Li Meifen's suggestion, he immediately figured out everything.

"The secretary asked me to go for the exchange perhaps for this reason, but why did he ask you to go with him as well?" The quick-thinking Bai Luwei immediately got to the core question.

The silence in the car that followed was as brief as a needle dropped on the surface of a lake, and Li Meifen seemed to be lost in thought.

"Hey! We could have reached Baihua Village in the evening, but our luggage is a little heavy, and Old Man Niu doesn't have enough strength. We probably won't be able to see the village until dark." The old man driving the cart suddenly broke the silence unexpectedly.

Su Wanwan was speechless after hearing this, and the others did not react much, but Su Wanwan suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

She had begged her mother Zhao Ying to bring less luggage, but she still took out such a heavy bag. She couldn't move such a bag by herself. She estimated that at least half of the weight of the bag was on her. Adding the small packages of the other three people, the already overloaded oxcart was even heavier. It was a miracle that it could move forward smoothly... Her face was burning, and she couldn't sit down.

"Hey, I'm tired. Let's go for a walk." After tormenting in the car for a while, she couldn't resist the passion burning on her face, and she wanted to straighten her body and get out of the car.

"How can we take this road? The rice harvest season is approaching, and it hasn't rained much. I don't know where the water on the road came from. Your shoes will get wet easily, and it will be troublesome to get to Baihua Village." The old man herding cattle hurriedly stopped Su Wanwan, revealing his concern in his words.

"It's okay, I'm just sitting here anyway..." Su Wanwan was planning to continue moving out of the car to defend herself, but was grabbed tightly by the arm by an irresistible force.

Let it go and look back naturally—

"Just sit still in the car."

After Xu Yan gave a concise instruction, he jumped off the ox cart easily, and his movements were much more agile than Su Wanwan's. This made her originally difficult path to find a stable place to stand much easier.

Su Wanwan whispered:

“Is this okay…” The voice that only she and Xu Yan could hear was full of doubt.

After getting out of the car, Xu Yan immediately helped Su Wanwan push the car. The distance between the two became extremely close, and the last ray of sunset just happened to be reflected on their cheeks which were also tilted to one side.

In the dim sky, the ox cart that was originally moving slowly suddenly accelerated, and its speed was visible to the naked eye.

"I don't want to let you go."

As soon as Su Wanwan said this, she realized that it might not be appropriate. Xu Yan did not take the initiative to talk to her along the way. Maybe he was hiding something in his heart. At this time, she seemed to hear Xu Yan responding with similar words in a whisper.

However, Su Wanwan, who was lost in thought just now, was not sure whether she had really heard it, and was too embarrassed to ask further.
