Chapter 70: Jiaojiao is spoiled by the rough man

Chapter 151 Looking for an Opportunity to Approach

Compared with the nervous Su Wanwan, Xu Yan was calm and at ease, as if he could easily control the situation in any occasion.

"You typed the wrong two words on the blackboard." Xu Yan ignored what the announcer was going to say and suddenly pointed out the two words in pink font on the blackboard, "She is 'Wan Wan', the night."

Hearing this reminder, the announcer, whose face turned red due to altitude sickness, turned his head awkwardly and carefully erased the original "Wanwan" with a blackboard eraser, replacing it with the correct word that Xu Yan reminded him of.

"I'm sorry, I didn't see the information exchanged between our villages, so I don't know how to write these two words," she apologized.

"It's okay, it looks much better this way." Xu Yan stared at the blackboard with Su Wanwan's correct name for a while and was about to leave. Li Meifen sensed the opportunity and took two steps forward: "Oh, it's Brother Xu Yan, I didn't expect you to finish work so early today!"

Li Meifen noticed that Xu Yan cared about Su Wanwan's affairs so meticulously that he even pointed out the mistake in writing her name on the blackboard. The jealousy in her heart broke free like a wild horse.

However, she also realized that her position in Xu Yan's heart was very low, and he might not like her.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Li Meifen adjusted her strategy and decided to maintain a moderate closeness with Xu Yan. When Su Wanwan's true face was exposed in the future and Xu Yan truly saw through her hypocritical nature, she would look for an opportunity to approach him.

"Yeah." After accepting Li Meifen's greeting, Xu Yan walked towards the path on the right and returned to the young men's dormitory.

Although Li Meifen was dissatisfied, she had no choice but to walk towards the path on the left and return directly to the young women's dormitory area.

It's not far from everyone's time to get off work, but the time difference between Li Meifen's return to the dormitory and Su Wanwan's return time is not too obvious.

"How are our sleeping arrangements tonight?" As soon as she entered the room, Li Meifen began to think about the problem of accommodation. She originally thought she could find a more suitable living environment in Baihua Village, but she was temporarily placed in a room similar to a pig farm.

The width of the brick bed in the small room assigned to them was roughly the same as that of their previous residence. Even if it was slightly more spacious, it was just a drop in the bucket! The space that was originally for two people now had to accommodate four people, which became a bit tricky.

"We have to wait for everyone else to come back before discussing it." Su Wanwan carried the luggage with difficulty, casually placed the things in a corner, and simply packed up the toiletries, placing the clay basin she used in the farthest corner of the table.

Su Wanwan then went to the yard to get some firewood, used a fire stick to light the fire on the stove, and then went to the well to fetch a full bucket of water and put it next to the stove. Seeing her busying around without complaint, Li Meifen's dissatisfaction accumulated more and more.

"What's the point of working so hard? I still can't sleep well at night. Why not try whether the earthen kang here can keep me warm?" She completely ignored Li Meifen's sour remarks, while operating the kettle on the stove. When the water boiled, she reduced the number of times she added firewood, and quickly washed herself.

When Su Wanwan wiped off the dirt on her feet and put on clean cloth shoes, it was just the time for everyone to get off work and prepare dinner. As their mission, they naturally went to the canteen to eat with the educated youth from Baihua Village.

Considering to avoid the crowds at dinner time, they started to go out early. The silence at dinner time was unexpected. Compared with noon, there were fewer youthful figures. Along the way, Li Meifen even thought about how to deal with the problems she faced during the day again.

However, after arriving at the cafeteria, all of Li Meifen's plans were in vain, and the two successfully completed the process of picking up food and eating. Everyone present was exhausted from working in the fields all day, and no one noticed the tractor accident that happened in the morning, and no one paid attention to Xu Yan and Su Wanwan's behavior. Today's schedule was no different from usual.

Just as Su Wanwan swallowed the last bite of food and was about to pack up and leave, a lively conversation not far away suddenly attracted everyone's attention.

In the blue beam of light, Lan Ying hurried over like the wind, with the messy hair on her forehead almost as many as the two braided pigtails.

"Oh, it's a small world." Lan Ying hurriedly finished her meal and was looking for a quiet place to eat, but she found that Li Meifen and the others were standing not far from her. "Alright, that's enough! Deputy Captain Feng has emphasized before that you are not allowed to make trouble here. Otherwise, you can go back to your infirmary with your bowl in hand!"

Before Lan Ying could start to rage, someone from the boys' team quickly interrupted her yelling.

"Got it." Lan Ying felt so aggrieved that she couldn't vent her anger after being criticized by Feng Xiang twice recently. She gripped the spoon tightly in her hand angrily, quietly found an empty seat, and lowered her head to eat.

"Hey, Su Wanwan, I heard that you did something big today." Just when the two were wondering why Xu Yan and Bai Luwei were not there, the two happened to appear at the moment when they finished their meal and were about to leave.

"It's nothing. Why are you eating so late?" Su Wanwan asked Bai Luwei casually, but her eyes fell on Xu Yan.

"We changed dormitories temporarily. Bai Luwei finished his work first, and we moved to the new house together with the extra time we had, so we came here later." Xu Yan, who was beside him, answered for Bai Luwei and prepared meals together.

"So how is your new room? Is it crowded?" Li Meifen asked, seizing the key point.

"It's okay. It's just me and Xu Yan, and the space is spacious. Although the stove is not as good as before, it's okay." Although Bai Luwei still harbored dissatisfaction with Li Meifen, he still responded to this question.

"Hmm..." Su Wanwan nodded as if thinking.

Noticing Su Wanwan's subtle changes, Xu Yan narrowed his eyes and asked in a low voice, "Is the living place really small?" He noticed the fluctuations in her expression.

"That's not entirely true. It might be because there were so many female educated youth and there were not enough beds, so they had to squeeze together. After all, there were only two people living in their room before, and each had a stove." Actually, before they moved in, the girls' dormitory was quite spacious.

"Okay, it's almost time. Maybe my roommate has eaten and left early." Li Meifen, who is very concerned about the accommodation conditions, is worried that someone else will take her spot.

"Yeah." After saying goodbye to Xu Yan and the others, Su Wanwan and Li Wan quickly walked back to the female educated youth dormitory along the same route.

Sure enough, when Su Wanwan pushed open the gate, there was already a young woman walking back and forth in the room.

Stepping into the yard, she looked at the young man in the room, as if this face was completely new to her.

"Do you live here?" Li Meifen seemed more anxious, stepped over the threshold and asked.

"Yes, I heard that the production team has assigned two young women to live together in the dormitory. That's us, right?" Although the young man who was talking to Li Meifen was a stranger, it could be seen from his friendly expression that he had no ill intentions. Even when facing the two new roommates, he did not show any hostility.
