Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 66 Repayment
According to the previous agreement, Zhao Lei gave Pierre two hundred catties of vegetables suitable for salad.

The Frenchman was very happy and habitually wanted to give Zhao Lei a hug.But this time Zhao Lei was prepared and easily avoided Pierre's hug, not letting this guy succeed.

Zhao Lei's reaction made the Frenchman look resentful: "Zhao, you have to respect the habits of my hometown."

"Now that you are in China, of course you should follow Chinese customs." Zhao Lei patted Pierre on the shoulder with a smile and said: "In our place, you only need to pat on the shoulder. Besides, I won't call you Pierre anymore. Let’s call him Old Pi or Boss Pi, that’s how he looks close.”

Only then did the French feel happy again, and happily announced to the employees: "In order to show closeness, everyone will stop calling me Mr. Leclerc, and call me Boss Pi!"

All the employees at the Red River Bank restaurant were holding back their laughter. Boss Pi is the villain in the cartoon SpongeBob SquarePants. Pierre must have no children in his family, that's why everyone likes him.

Zhao Lei had to deliver goods to several customers today, so naturally he couldn't stay here for long, so he left soon.After he walked around the city, the vegetables on the truck were gone, replaced by tens of thousands of deposits in the bank card.

Now that he has some spare money, Zhao Lei decided to go to his aunt's house to pay back the money owed to them first.

Zhao Lei's aunt, Li Rong, lives in an old community in Xinwu City, and her family's conditions are not very good.However, last year Zhao Lei's grandfather was in critical condition, and his aunt took the initiative to lend him 3 yuan. Zhao Lei has always kept this affection in his heart.

Today happened to be the weekend, and my aunt and uncle Xu Liang were both here.Both of them were very happy to see Zhao Lei. Uncle greeted him with concern, while Auntie made a fuss about cooking a table for Zhao Lei.

"Auntie, don't be too busy." Zhao Lei said to his aunt with a smile: "I still have something to do, I will leave after a while."

Li Rong pretended to be upset and said: "How can I go to Auntie's place without eating? No matter how important things are, we have to wait until we have eaten!"

Xu Liang, on the other hand, sensed something was wrong, and asked Zhao Lei suspiciously: "Xiao Lei, the school should start now, why do you have time to visit us, are you still on leave?"

Knowing that this matter will not be hidden sooner or later, Zhao Lei said seriously: "Auntie, Uncle, I came today to tell you that I have dropped out of school."

"Drop out?!" Now Li Rong was in a hurry, and quickly put down the spatula and said, "It was hard to get into Jiaotong University back then, how could you just drop out of school? How can I feel sorry for your mother!"

Xu Liang was calmer than his wife, and asked Zhao Lei with concern: "Is there any financial difficulty? This is not a problem, we can still get tens of thousands of dollars."

Li Rong nodded and said, "That's right, even if your uncle and I sell everything, we will pay for you to finish college."

Seeing his aunt and uncle caring about him so much, Zhao Lei was also very moved. He smiled and said to them, "Auntie, uncle, I know your thoughts. It's not an economic problem. It's because I have found a better development direction and continue to study. It doesn't make sense anymore."

Li Rong said worriedly: "No matter what the direction of development is, you must never do anything illegal and criminal!"

Zhao Lei couldn't help laughing, and it took a while before he said to Li Rong: "Auntie, you watched me grow up, don't you know what kind of person I am? Surely you can't do illegal things. .”

Xu Liang frowned and asked, "Then what are you going to do?"

"Grow vegetables in the countryside and engage in farming." Zhao Lei said with a smile: "Right now, they are engaged in ecological agriculture and selling organic food. I also plan to develop in this direction."

Hearing what Zhao Lei said, Xu Liang and his wife were quite relieved, but Li Rong still asked a little worriedly: "Are you sure you can support yourself by farming? Is it worth giving up your studies for this?"

Zhao Lei comforted Li Rong with a smile: "Auntie, don't worry, I've made a lot of money by planting the land for several months. I have one more thing to do today, and I plan to pay you back the money."

Xu Liang waved his hand and said, "We don't wait for the money to be used, but you still have a lot of places to spend money in starting a business, so there is no need to rush to pay back the money."

Li Rong also nodded and said, "Your uncle is right, don't rush to pay it back."

Zhao Lei said with a smile: "I really don't need this money right now. I have borrowed it for such a long time, and I will feel sorry if I don't pay it back."

With Zhao Lei's insistence, Xu Liang and his wife accepted the money he paid back.Li Rong also said that this money is reserved for Zhao Lei, and he can come and get it whenever he needs it.Originally, Zhao Lei wanted to pay interest, but Xu Liang and his wife were determined not to accept it, so he had no choice but to forget it.

Under Li Rong's persuasion, Zhao Lei left after eating.Thinking of his aunt's family's care for him, he was also very moved, and he planned to repay them well in the future.

Although the debt owed was paid off, Zhao Lei still had tens of thousands of dollars in his bank card.Thinking that after the fish pond was built, there would be a greater demand for fairy dew, so he decided to go to Weixia Pavilion to buy some jade, hoping to make the purple gold gourd evolve again.

The owner of Weixia Pavilion, Jiang Xudong, happened to be there too, and when he saw Zhao Lei, he immediately greeted him with a smile: "Xiao Zhao, welcome."

Zhao Lei also smiled and said: "Boss Jiang, I'm here to trouble you again, and I want to buy some more jade wool."

Zhao Lei has already bought tens of thousands of pieces of jade in Weixia Pavilion this month. Hearing that he wants to buy some more, Jiang Xudong said happily: "How can you say it's troublesome? It's too late to welcome. It just happened that I bought a batch yesterday. Wool, I'll take you there to pick it out, and you'll get a [-]% discount after you pick it up!"

Zhao Lei still put the jade wool close to the Zijin Gourd, and let the Zijin Gourd decide which jade to buy. Naturally, the selection speed was very fast. Jiang Xudong, who was standing next to him, was amazed. .

Jiang Xudong is a very honest businessman. Although Zhao Lei didn't seem to care about money, he finally gave him a 5% discount and even wiped off the change.Zhao Lei spent more than [-] yuan, bought several pieces of jade wool of different sizes, and went home excitedly.

After arriving home, Zhao Lei immediately let the purple gold gourd absorb the jade essence.Seeing several pieces of warm jade gradually turn into gray-black powder, scattered on the table one after another, Zhao Lei became more and more nervous, and couldn't help muttering to himself: "I hope it can evolve this time..."

In the past two months, Zijin Gourd has devoured hundreds of thousands of worth of jade.Although the emerald vegetables are indeed very popular, it also makes Zhao Lei feel a little overwhelmed.If Zijin Gourd doesn't evolve this time, he will be very disappointed.

Zijin gourd seeds absorbed the essence of jade very quickly, and it didn't take long for the jade that Zhao Lei just bought turned into ashes.Just when he thought there was no hope this time, Zijin Gourd suddenly shone brightly and started its second evolution!
