Chapter 164: Request for Help



Li Wenjun was still expressing his gratitude sincerely, but Zhou Xiaoqing had already turned her attention to Xu Wen, who had arrived at the field first. She thought for a moment and walked over.

"Brother Xu?"

"What's wrong?" Xu Wen turned around.

Zhou Xiaoqing pretended to be casual and asked, "Brother Xu, why didn't you come with Brother Li to see Wenwen this morning?"

"Why should I go see her?" Xu Wen felt puzzled. "I'm not her brother. There's a difference between men and women. Why do I keep going to your dormitory?"

"I'm sorry, Brother Xu. I saw that you and Wenwen have such a good relationship, so I thought you would come to see me." Zhou Xiaoqing hurriedly explained with an apologetic look on his face.

"It's okay." Xu Wen didn't show any blaming expression. "Li Wenwen is not young anymore. She should be responsible for her own choices. Besides, with her brother here, there's no need for us to worry about her."

"I understand, Brother Xu."

Seeing that Xu Wen's expression did not seem fake, Zhou Xiaoqing curled the corners of his lips, his heart filled with joy.

Li Wenjun stood a few meters away from the two people. He couldn't hear what they were saying, but he always felt something strange in his heart.

Why does Xu Wen seem to care less about Wenwen? And why does Xiaoqing feel something special about Xu Wen?

Li Wenjun frowned and thought for a long time, but couldn't figure out what was going on. So she simply stopped thinking about it and turned to think about the advice Zhou Xiaoqing had just given her.

After work at noon, he went back to the school dormitory to eat and delivered food to Li Wenwen, then took a detour to Su's house.

"Aunt?"

Li Xiulian, who had just finished her meal and was sitting in the yard embroidering a small dress, looked up and saw Li Wenjun looking through the gate. She asked in confusion, "Who are you looking for?"

"Is Su Qingyun at home?" Li Wenjun asked.

"Here." Li Xiu Lian nodded. Today is Sunday, and Su Qingyun is at home.

"Could you please call her for me?" Li Wenjun asked politely with a smile on his face.

Li Xiu Lian looked at him strangely. What did this man want from Qingyun?

"Wait a moment." She put down what she was holding and went into the house.

"Yunyun." Li Xiulian knocked on the door but did not open it and go in directly. She knew that Su Qingyun liked quietness when studying, and usually her family would not disturb her at this time.

"Aunt? Please come in." Su Qingyun stopped drawing the blueprint and stretched his sore wrist.

She is now perfecting the drawings of the small seed drill, striving to make them more detailed and meticulous, so that she can avoid many detours during the actual production.

Li Xiulian walked in and said, "Someone is looking for you outside."

"Who is it?" Su Qingyun was surprised.

"That's Li Wenwen's brother." Li Xiu Lian didn't know Li Wenjun's name, which also shows how famous Li Wenwen is now. A pair of siblings don't know their brother's name, so they can only use her brother's name instead.

"What does he want from me?" Su Qingyun was even more puzzled.

She walked out of the house, pushed open the gate, and saw Li Wenjun waiting. She asked, "Comrade Li, are you looking for me?"

"Um."

"What's up?"

"It's like this," Li Wenjun explained. "I troubled the villagers yesterday, especially the team leader and Team Leader Qi. They really helped me so much, so I wanted to go to town to buy some candy or something to thank everyone. But now there are too many things to do in the team, and I was delayed another day yesterday. I thought you go to school in town every day, and you have a bicycle, so it's more convenient, so I wondered if you could buy it for me?"

"Sure." Su Qingyun said without hesitation. It was just a small matter, so she was happy to help.

"That's great." Li Wenjun saw her readily agree, and his smile widened. "Don't worry, I won't let you help me in vain. I'll give you travel expenses."

"No need." Su Qingyun smiled. "We are half colleagues. No need to be so polite. It's just a small favor. Just tell me the specific items and quantities you need. I will buy them for you after school tomorrow."

"I've made a list." Li Wenjun came prepared. He took out a piece of paper from his pocket, on which was clearly listed the specific things needed in handsome handwriting.

At the end, he took out ten yuan and handed it to Su Qingyun, "Take this money."

"Is it too much?" Su Qingyun took a glance and roughly estimated the price.

"It's okay, I'll refund any excess and make up for any shortfall." Li Wenjun said nonchalantly.

Su Qingyun laughed, "Aren't you worried that I'll cook the books for you?"

"How could that be?" Li Wenjun's eyes widened. "Of course I believe you."

"Okay." Su Qingyun didn't waste any more words, "Then I'll go in first."

"Okay." Li Wenjun watched Su Qingyun turn around and enter the yard. The smile on his face did not fade for a long time. It was a while before he turned around and left.

Su Qingyun was startled as soon as he entered the house.

"Aunt, what are you doing here?"

Li Xiulian was standing behind the door, which gave her a severe shock.

"I'll just stand here for a while." Li Xiulian smiled awkwardly, then asked casually, "Well...what does he want from you?"

"He just asked me to help him buy some things in town." Su Qingyun said casually.

"Is that so?" Li Xiu Lian hesitated for a moment and said, "Yun Yun, you are still young, don't..." She didn't finish her words.

The last incident with Lin Jianfeng really scared everyone in the family, so now they are paying special attention to the boys who appear next to Su Qingyun. There are so many people in the village with the surname Li, so why would he ask Yunyun to bring something to him? This is very strange.

Su Qingyun's mind raced, and she understood what Li Xiulian meant by hesitating to speak. She was immediately at a loss whether to laugh or cry, "Auntie, what are you thinking? I just want to ask me for a favor."
