Chapter 70: Jiaojiao is spoiled by the rough man

It can be concluded that the young people in the village are very interested in Xu Yan, because in that era, owning a car was very important.

Even out of instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm, many young people in the village would try to get close to Xu Yan. Therefore, after having the opportunity to go out with him for this exchange, Li Meifen was naturally curious about Xu Yan like everyone else and wanted to get closer to him. Li Meifen watched Su Wanwan's actions intently, and did not stand up to soak her feet until the water in the kettle boiled.

Seeing that she didn't move, Su Wanwan didn't urge her. After taking off her shoes and socks, she took out a copper basin from under the small table.

"If Brother Xu Yan knew that you didn't pay attention to his disappearance, he would definitely think that it was a wrong decision to send him food yesterday." Li Meifen said casually.

Su Wanwan put the copper basin aside and responded, "What do you think I should do?" Her tone was calm, without any emotion.

"Of course we should go out and look for someone right away. It's already dark!" Li Meifen jumped up from the kang in an instant as if she was on fire. "You don't deserve to be treated like that by Brother Xu Yan."

Su Wanwan rolled up her trouser legs slowly, preparing to respond, when she suddenly remembered the small bag Xu Yan gave her in the afternoon. It felt heavy when she first took it, and it must be a small item. She put it in the treasure chest to avoid attention, but forgot about it after she came back from work.

"Oh." She responded briefly, indicating her agreement with Li Meifen, and then Su Wanwan focused on soaking her feet.

Li Meifen stood by the kang for nearly ten minutes, and no one knew what she was thinking.

"If you feel that I have let Xu Yan down, you should go and tell him directly, don't blame me." After calming down, Su Wanwan tidied herself up, walked towards the yard to pick up firewood, and took out the small bag from the treasure chest in an empty place near the gate.

As she expected, the bag was full of various candies and several small packages of cookies. The packaging was all labeled in English. I don't know when Xu Yan got it, but he filled the bag with it. A warm feeling came over her. Su Wanwan quickly put away the small bag and took the firewood back to the house to avoid Li Meifen's sudden appearance.

"What you said does make sense. I shouldn't have blamed you for being heartless. I should have talked to Brother Xu Yan directly." In the room, Li Meifen seemed to have thought it through. She looked at Su Wanwan who walked in with firewood, then turned around and ran out.

"Do you know where to find Xu Yan?" Bai Luwei's puzzled voice came from next door.

Due to the poor sound insulation between the two rooms, the conversation next door can be heard clearly here.

"Even if I don't know the place, it's better than pretending to be deaf and dumb here." Li Meifen replied emotionally and left the courtyard decisively.

Su Wanwan stood at the door, watched her leave, and brushed off the dust on her body.

"I knew she seemed to have changed recently. It seems that she really cares about Xu Yan." Bai Luwei glanced at Su Wanwan and pouted. Because Su Wanwan often appeared with Xu Yan, Bai Luwei had few opportunities to communicate with Su Wanwan. In addition, they had a bad relationship with the village chief and Secretary Wang because of their doubts about various affairs in the village, so naturally they could not communicate deeply with Su Wanwan.

When Su Wanwan chased Yan Wenxuan all over the village, the young people in the village were also talking about it behind her back. Even though Yan Wenxuan's behavior later indirectly clarified some rumors, they had slandered Su Wanwan after all.

Even so, when they were alone together, Bai Luwei still had reservations about talking to Su Wanwan.

"I'll go look for it too, you just stay here." Su Wanwan didn't respond to him, just threw this sentence, and then quickly walked out the door with Li Meifen. Just now, she noticed a few small details that she had overlooked before.

In Su Wanwan's memory, Xu Yan was always busy. It was like this in the village before, and it should be the same after moving to Baihua Village, otherwise how did all those candies come from? She originally thought that Xu Yan was doing personal chores after finishing farm work, but she seemed to have heard Li Meifen complain about the production team having too many tasks, and Xu Yan happened to be there at that time...

Confused, Bai Luwei looked at the empty door and thought: If he had known that the exchange life would be so hard and lonely, he would not have chosen to come out. At least in the village, he can still chat and laugh with his friends every day, and his life is not so bleak.

Bai Luwei sat dejectedly at the door, looking up into the distance. Li Meifen, who had left the courtyard, began to search for Xu Yan throughout the village. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that the villagers looked at her in a strange way, and several women seemed to be whispering behind her. This made her feel very bad.

However, in order to find Xu Yan's whereabouts, Li Meifen had no time to dwell on these gossips and quickened her pace.

Compared to Li Meifen's actions, Su Wanwan went straight to the rice fields where they worked during the day after leaving the courtyard. Since all the young people had gone home or to the dormitory, the usually busy path was particularly quiet at this moment, and even the dark sky could not illuminate the road. Fortunately, Su Wanwan brought a flashlight, and after leaving the village boundary, she quickly walked towards the fields with the weak light.

The cool breeze blew across her figure covered in thick clothes. From afar, she had already seen the familiar outline at the edge of the rice field that belonged to her - Xu Yan was really there!

"The tasks assigned by the production team are beyond our capabilities. You don't have to help me here, otherwise it will only incur more burdens." Su Wanwan said from a distance.

Xu Yan, who was concentrating on cutting rice, was a little surprised when he heard this. He turned around and smiled slightly without letting Su Wanwan see clearly.

Of the fields she had not yet harvested, only a small portion remained.

"Don't worry, they won't make things difficult for you."

Xu Yan spoke softly, lowering his head and skillfully tying the rice bundles with a sickle.

Su Wanwan understood and walked forward and took the sickle from his hand to prevent him from continuing to share the burden.

"Are you so sure?" She secretly understood something and decided not to let him help anymore.

"Of course." Xu Yan stared at Su Wanwan's face, giving her an unexpectedly warm feeling in the dark night.

"You really don't doubt it?" She immediately shook her head like she was shaking a rattle.

"If I don't believe in this world, I won't disbelieve in you."

"Where did the candies and biscuits I brought you at noon come from?" She had originally planned to let him go back to rest early, but now, she suddenly wanted to prolong this simple time, just standing quietly in the wind and talking to each other.

"How do those candies taste? My friend brought them from abroad. Such hard work can easily cause one's blood sugar to drop, so a piece of candy can help relieve the pain." Xu Yan explained calmly.

Su Wanwan pursed her lips silently, nodded gently, and suddenly felt her face getting hot.

"And whose lunch box was that you used last night?" she asked.

He stood up first, and Su Wanwan followed closely behind him, and the two of them walked slowly towards the village.

"Of course, they are taken from the cafeteria. The cafeteria staff have their own individual dining rooms, and the lunch boxes are their exclusive property."
