Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 11 Xu Xiang
Zhao Lei was no stranger to this voice, and couldn't help but frowned and muttered to himself: "Xu Xiang, why is this guy looking for Li Qian..."

Xu Xiang is two years younger than Zhao Lei and is one of the two college students in the village.After Zhao Lei decided to drop out of school, Xu Xiang was the only college student in the village.

However, compared with Zhao Lei, who was the number one student in the city's college entrance examination, Xu Xiang's grades were much worse. He didn't even pass the three main lines, and he barely got into a junior college.

It is also because of this that Xu Xiang has always been envious and jealous of Zhao Lei. He also said behind his back more than once that Zhao Lei's exam questions were easy, and that Zhao Lei got the first place in the city because of luck. Not convinced.

Xu Xiang didn't know that Zhao Lei was outside the door, and he was still bragging to the busy Li Qian: "Although the county town is lively enough, it can't compare with big cities. Find me, I promise to help you solve it!"

Hearing this, Zhao Lei couldn't help laughing. It turned out that Xu Xiang wanted to show off in front of Zhao Jing.This guy is just a college student, what kind of trouble can he help Li Qian solve?It's really shameless to say that you don't have to pay taxes if you dare to brag!

While complaining in his heart, Zhao Lei walked into Li Qian's house, and immediately saw the girl busy cooking, while Xu Xiang was beside him talking nonsense, while secretly looking at the girl's slim figure.

And Li Qian had a hint of impatience on her pretty face, and she also felt that Xu Xiang was too wordy, but she was just too embarrassed to say it.

Zhao Lei greeted Li Qian as soon as he entered the door: "Xiaoqian, I'm here!"

Li Qian quickly put down the work in hand, and greeted him with a smile on her face: "Brother Zhao Lei, why are you here?"

Zhao Lei casually put the bamboo basket by the wall, and said with a smile, "I didn't pay attention just now, and I took your bamboo basket back, so why don't I bring it here for you?"

Li Qian hurriedly said: "I'm so sorry, just tell me and I'll go get it myself."

"It's nothing, it's just a matter of raising your hand." Zhao Lei smiled and said, "You're busy enough, it's better not to hinder your work if you're okay."

Li Qian nodded gratefully, but didn't know what to say.

When Xu Xiang next to him heard these words, his expression became a little unnatural.After all, he is what Zhao Lei said, the one who has nothing to hinder Li Qian's work.

If it was in the past, Xu Xiang would not dare to refute him in front of Zhao Lei.After all, he was the champion of the city's college entrance examination and a student of a key university.

However, after knowing that Zhao Lei planned to drop out of school and return to the village to farm, Xu Xiang was full of confidence when dealing with him, and deliberately smiled slightly: "Zhao Lei, long time no see."

"Yo, Xu Xiang is here too." Zhao Lei looked surprised, as if he had just seen him.

"I've been here for a long time, and I'm chatting with Xiaoqian!" Xu Xiang pretended to be very familiar with Li Qian on purpose, and then said with regret: "I heard that you dropped out of school? In today's society, knowledge is power, and it is difficult to move forward without a diploma. What on earth are you thinking?"

Speaking of this, Xu Xiang paused for a moment, and then deliberately pretended to be suddenly enlightened and said: "I see, you were expelled from the school, right? Otherwise, such a good school, who would be willing to drop out of school voluntarily!"

Zhao Lei didn't bother to explain anything to this kind of person, he didn't talk to Xu Xiang at all, he just smiled lightly at Li Qian and said, "I also delivered the bamboo basket, I'll go back first if I have nothing to do."

However, in Xu Xiang's view, Zhao Lei's reaction undoubtedly showed that he was guilty, and immediately said to Li Qian earnestly: "Xiaoqian, there is one more thing to remind you. Don't think that everything will be fine if you are admitted to university, and you have to study hard. Otherwise, you will be expelled, then your previous efforts will be in vain, and your life will be ruined!"

Li Qian didn't believe that Zhao Lei would be expelled from the school, she frowned dissatisfiedly and said, "Brother Zhao Lei is a good person, he won't be expelled from the school!"

"Know people, know face, but don't know heart." Xu Xiang sneered, "Jiaotong University is a key university in the country. If you were admitted, would you drop out of the school? There are some people who obviously made mistakes, but they want to save face,"

Li Qian was stumped by this question, and the girl quickly looked at Zhao Lei, hoping that he could give a convincing answer.

Originally, Zhao Lei was just giving bamboo baskets to Li Qian, and he didn't intend to get to know Xu Xiang as well.However, this guy kept making rude remarks, sneering at Zhao Lei inside and outside of his words, of course Zhao Lei would not be used to this guy.

However, Zhao Lei did not answer Xu Xiang's question, instead he smiled and asked Li Qian: "Xiaoqian, you are in your third year of high school, how are your grades?"

Li Qian replied in a low voice: "I'm at the middle level in my grade."

"County No. [-] Middle School is the city's key point, and it's not bad to be ranked in the middle of the grade." Zhao Lei said calmly, "But we still have to work hard and strive for a higher level. It's best to reach the score line of the second school. No matter how bad it is, you have to guarantee three exams, if it's just a junior college... then it's better not to take the exam!"

Xu Xiang was a junior college student, but he was furious at Zhao Lei's words, but he couldn't refute it, and almost felt internal injuries.

Zhao Lei glanced at Xu Xiang, whose face was flushed red, and made up the knife calmly: "Maybe it is a pity for ordinary people to drop out of Jiaotong University, but I am the number one student in the college entrance examination in our city. If I want to go back to study, I can take the exam again at any time." Going in, it’s actually nothing special!”

Xu Xiang felt so aggrieved that he couldn't express it.Originally, he just wanted to step on Zhao Lei, who used to dominate him, and pretend to be aggressive in front of the beautiful Li Qian, so maybe he could get the girl's favor because of it.I never thought that Zhao Lei's counterattack was so sharp that he lost all face.

After all, Xu Xiang was only a freshman, and he didn't have the face to stay any longer, so he found an excuse to leave in a hurry.

Looking at this guy's embarrassed back, Zhao Lei couldn't help but sneer in his heart: Fight with me, you boy should be more tender!
When Xu Xiang was far away, Li Qian couldn't help but smiled and said to Zhao Lei: "Brother Zhao Lei, you are good or bad!"

Knowing that Li Qian also noticed it, Zhao Lei rubbed her head habitually and said, "Although I said this to annoy that guy, it makes sense. You have to study hard, you know?"

"Got it!" Li Qian said blushingly, "But there are a lot of questions that people don't know how to do, what should I do?"

Zhao Lei couldn't help laughing at the girl's cute appearance: "In the future, feel free to ask me any questions you don't understand. Although I decided to drop out, it's okay to tutor the third-year students."

After agreeing to tutor Li Qian, Zhao Lei left the girl's home.Originally, he wanted to see Li Qian's father, Li Jianguo, but Li Jianguo had already fallen asleep, so he had no choice but to give up.

After Zhao Lei left, Li Qian planned to put the bamboo basket away, but unexpectedly found several pieces of Polygonum multiflorum and Gastrodia elata inside.Knowing that Zhao Lei must have left this for herself on purpose, the girl couldn't help but smile sweetly.

Zhao Lei had no idea that his kind act would make Li Qian so happy. After returning from the girl's house, he began to prepare to plant Dendrobium officinale.
