Chapter 70: Jiaojiao is spoiled by the rough man

“I’m going down to help!”

Since Xu Yan had already taken action, Bai Luwei in the car felt very uncomfortable. After all, in this group of only two young men, it was too embarrassing to let Xu Yan take on such physical work alone.

Watching the ox cart accelerating lightly, even the evening breeze was swept up in the sound of the car. Su Wanwan lost her balance and her upper body hit Li Meifen's arm. Li Meifen naturally reached out to support her.

"Su Wanwan, I have something to ask you."

Just after she stabilized, Su Wanwan took advantage of the dim light to cast her gaze towards Li Meifen's serious and dark face. She was surprised to find that her five senses seemed more solemn than usual.

When interpreting the question of why Bai Luwei was included in the youth exchange list, she had already noticed Li Meifen's unique temperament.

But she still didn't understand the specific difference.

However, to be able to gain a leadership position in the female educated youth dormitory, she must have unique strengths.

Li Meifen's words and deeds are obviously different from those of other women in the village.

"Go ahead."

The strong young men on both sides of the ox cart helped, and the uncle driving the cart also waved the wicker whip in his hand. The originally slowly moving ox cart seemed to be suddenly injected with power, and even Su Wanwan's voice was echoed in the wind.

"Did we know each other before?" Li Meifen looked at Su Wanwan calmly and asked.

Su Wanwan shook her head slightly. She had pondered this question over and over in her mind last night. It was indeed impossible for them to have met each other alone.

Usually, events related to Zhong Qingqing would allow her to accidentally meet Li Meifen who was also present.

"In other words, I am not the person you recommended to your father, the village chief."

After getting a satisfactory answer from Su Wanwan, Li Meifen fell into deep thought, "Then if you hadn't proposed it to your father, the village chief, why would the village choose me?"

In the almost completely dark sky, Su Wanwan couldn't see Li Meifen's expression at the moment. She could only vaguely guess that under the cover of darkness, she was quietly looking at Xu Yan beside her.

"Maybe you're lucky. After all, the quotas in our village are not limited to those young people with the best performance in the collective farm." Bai Luwei, who was pushing a cart nearby, interrupted the topic at the right time. Then he smacked his lips and said, "But a young man like you who is incompetent and mean-spirited has little chance of being elected. This may be the blessing of your ancestors."

With Bai Luwei's first words of comfort, Li Meifen's expression eased a little, but then she became solemn again because of the second half of Bai Luwei's words.

Under the dim moonlight, Su Wanwan saw a kind of forbearance and determination in Li Meifen's eyes through the faint light.

"There are only four exchange quotas. If Secretary Wang can't balance the emotions of the villagers, he should have retired long ago." The surroundings were quiet, with only the sound of insects like cicadas. When Xu Yan broke the silence, he said, "Everything should take into account the feelings of all villagers."

Although Bai Luwei often quarreled and joked with his companions before, he chose to remain silent after Xu Yan spoke. This once again confirmed Su Wanwan's feeling that many young people in the village were in awe of him. Even though the young people in the village had many complaints about Xu Yan, no one dared to openly provoke him like they did to Yan Wenxuan.

"We are almost at Baihua Village." The old farmer drove forward, confirming his prediction. When it was completely dark, the dim lights of the village appeared in front of him. That was probably where Baihua Village was.

Su Wanwan had only eaten in the morning, and her stomach was rumbling. If the journey was longer, she would have to get off the bus and chew the grains waiting to be harvested in the rice fields. If she had known it would be so difficult, she should have eaten more, or at least prepared some dry food to fill her stomach on the way.

"We're almost there! I'm starving!" The crowd that had been waiting for a long time was waiting at the village entrance to welcome them. Seeing the neatly dressed people coming to greet them, Su Wanwan felt it was not right to stay in the car any longer. The car was still moving fast, and she looked for a suitable place to get off, but she still hesitated to stretch her legs out - it was her first time riding a bullock cart and she was worried about getting off.

Li Meifen jumped out of the car without hesitation, which made Su Wanwan feel even more anxious and uneasy.

"Hold me." If she was left alone in the car when the enthusiastic young people from Baihua Village were so close... the first impression would definitely be greatly reduced.

It is inevitable that onlookers will misunderstand her as a pampered young lady, and once someone makes malicious speculations...

At the critical moment, before Su Wanwan even had time to react, she naturally grabbed the hand that was stretched out to her. With the help of Xu Yan's power, she felt as if she was suspended in the air for a short time, and then landed steadily on the ground.

......Didn’t you get off the car by yourself just now?

Following the ox cart, Su Wanwan recalled the scene just now in her mind with a hint of confusion: it should be that Xu Yan took her arms under the arms as she grabbed his hand and carried her directly off the cart.

"Oh, friends, if you had come a little later, I'm afraid we would have had to send people out to look for you!" The young man who looked like a leader seemed to be the leader of the village group. His expression was full of energy and the unique enthusiasm of that era, and his smile seemed simple and witty.

"Well, the journey is difficult and the luggage is heavy." The old man driving the cart responded, and as he spoke, he took the lead in leading everyone into Fanhua Village.

This place is similar to their village, each village constitutes a small production team. The group followed the people who came to greet them and came to a relatively large canteen yard.

"We know you've had a hard time on the road, so we've already heated up the food. Please wait a moment. It may be a little cold now. Ask the chefs to heat it up again." After giving the instructions, the young men who had greeted them went about their own business. Only a young man wearing an armband was with them. Although it was his first time participating in such things, he was a little at a loss as to what to do and didn't know how to start the conversation.

"Since every village is exchanging young people, why didn't we meet the exchange companions from Baihua Village on the road?" Bai Luwei sat down with difficulty, drank half a bucket of water in one breath and asked while panting.

"Are you stupid? Our village is sending young people for exchange, and Baihua Village will also send some. It's not just a one-way exchange. There are many production teams under the jurisdiction of the entire commune. Maybe the young people from other villages came to our village for exchange and happened to miss each other on the way." Without waiting for a reply, the coachman had already drunk two sips of water and calmly answered Bai Luwei.

"So that's how it is. Then when do we start working? How do we calculate work points?" The old man couldn't answer questions about work arrangements. He pursed his lips slightly and lowered his head to drink water again.

"Thank you for coming all the way here. I cooked white cabbage and vermicelli soup for you. Come and try it." When the young people from Baihua Village who were responsible for heating the dishes came back, each of them brought a simple plate and placed it on the table. When Bai Luwei saw the enamel basin, he immediately straightened up and looked for chopsticks eagerly.

For people who are hungry all day long, even cooked brown rice and noodles can be considered a delicacy.
