Upon hearing this, Xia Tao was overjoyed. His eyes were fixed on the tractor outside the door, and he was so happy he almost jumped for joy.
However, his hands did not stop moving at all, and he quickly moved the items onto the car as Li Chengjun had instructed.
Seeing this, Xia Wan couldn't help but give Li Chengjun a thumbs up, her face full of admiration, and praised him generously, "My brother Jun is amazing!"
Just moments ago, she was wondering if the person was unwilling to help with the move, or if they had been delayed by something else and left.
I never expected that they would actually borrow such a practical tractor!
Faced with Xia Wan's undisguised praise, Li Chengjun showed a faint smile, but quickly coughed twice to cover his slightly reddened ears, and explained shyly, "Ahem...it just so happens that there are some familiar friends here."
However, Xia Wan, who was overjoyed at the moment, did not notice the subtle change in Li Chengjun's expression. Instead, she patted him on the shoulder heavily like she would a buddy and said in a low, mysterious voice, "Don't worry, Brother Jun, you've been so generous in helping me today, I definitely won't treat you unfairly. In a few days, I guarantee I'll make you a fortune!"
"Okay, I'll wait." Li Chengjun slowly lowered his eyes and gazed at Xia Wan in front of him. His gaze was like the twinkling stars in the deep night sky, delicate and bright, containing a hint of doting affection.
Xia Wan was unaware of the romantic feelings deep in his heart. Instead, she raised her hand and pointed gently towards her father's room, saying in a clear voice, "I'll go tell my dad first that with your tractor, we can move a large part of our things today! We'll be moving all of these in a little while."
Li Chengjun smiled and nodded in agreement.
He stood quietly in place, watching the petite figure rush into the house like a light breeze.
Only after Xia Wan's figure disappeared from sight did he turn around, bend down again, and steadily lift the heavy objects in the yard with both hands, beginning to move them methodically.
At the same time, Xia Wan burst into the house like a cheerful little bird.
Her fair face was beaming with a relaxed and joyful smile, as beautiful and charming as a flower blooming in spring.
She walked quickly to her father, Xia Jianguo, and said excitedly, "Dad, Li Chengjun lent us his tractor! We can move most of our furniture today! We'll just have to make do for the next couple of days, and by the day after tomorrow at the latest, everything will be moved to our new home smoothly!"
Xia Jianguo was sitting quietly on a slightly worn wooden chair. After hearing his daughter's words, he nodded slightly to indicate that he understood.
However, a complex expression flickered in his weathered eyes. For some reason, he felt that the young man named Li Chengjun was a bit too enthusiastic.
Just now, he saw the interaction between the young man and his daughter through the window. The familiarity and closeness made him suspicious—could this young man have some ulterior motives towards his daughter?
Xia Wan, of course, had no idea what her father was thinking. She simply strode over, sat down steadily on the stool next to him, and said:
"Dad, after we finish moving all those things into the city, I was thinking of inviting Li Chengjun to have a meal together. After all, he helped us so much this time, and it would be so embarrassing if we didn't show our appreciation."
Upon hearing this, Xia Jianguo slowly raised his head, his gaze falling on his daughter's clear, watery eyes. The corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up slightly: "Yes, yes, that's definitely the right thing to do. You can go ahead and make the arrangements. Just have your brother accompany you."
Actually, deep down he felt that his daughter was still a bit clueless and hadn't quite figured things out yet, and that was precisely what made him feel most satisfied and at ease!
Because his daughter is still young, only just turned eighteen, it's really too early for her to talk about marriage right now.
So he has to keep a close eye on his tender and juicy little cabbage and not let it be snatched away by those wicked wolves outside!
At that moment, Li Chengjun, who was working hard outside, had no idea that he had become the focus of attention for others.
But even if he knew, what could he do? He had already figured out his feelings for Xia Wan and had no intention of deliberately hiding them.
Right now, he and Xia Tao are busily working in the yard, constantly tidying up and organizing all sorts of household items.
Whether it was bulky furniture or small, exquisite household items, they moved them all from the house to the yard, one by one.
In the blink of an eye, items of all sizes piled up on the ground, looking rather messy.
However, just as they were getting into their work, a surprised shout suddenly came from afar outside the courtyard...
When Wu Xiangdong arrived near the Xia family's house, he caught a glimpse of a dilapidated tractor covered in mud parked in front of the house.
The sudden appearance of the tractor instantly piqued his intense curiosity.
So, he unconsciously quickened his pace and craned his neck to look into the yard.
When he finally realized that it was Xia Tao carrying various items with a complete stranger, his doubts grew even stronger.
Unable to contain his curiosity, Wu Xiangdong shouted at the top of his lungs, "Taozi, where are you two planning to move all these bags and fuss around?"
His deep voice suddenly boomed in the courtyard, which was neither too big nor too small, and the echo lingered for a long time.
The busy and orderly atmosphere was completely shattered by this sudden shout. Xia Tao and the stranger named Li Chengjun stopped what they were doing and looked stiff and at a loss.
After a while, Xia Tao finally came to his senses, a proud smile spreading across his face as he excitedly replied, "Brother Xiangdong, we're moving soon! We're moving to the city. My sister has already bought a house there!"
