Rebirth of the Rich Second Generation's Growth Diary

Chapter 23 Li Xu's Intelligence

Liu Ruilan likes Ye Ling very much.

Although she also felt that arranging the students to go to the school playground to shovel the pile of dirt after school might not be so smooth, but since it was arranged by Teacher Ye, she had to implement it seriously.

Before the noon class, Liu Ruilan walked up to the podium, knocked on the table, and said, "Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. I have two things to tell you..."

Liu Ruilan usually gives everyone in class the impression of being very fierce, but no matter whether they are students with better grades or students with worse grades, even if they don't like her in their hearts, because of Liu Ruilan's fearless nature, when she speaks, they will still stop what they are doing and listen carefully.

If you ignore Liu Ruilan, you will really be scolded by Liu Ruilan.

The scene gradually became quiet.

Liu Ruilan nodded with satisfaction and said, "First of all, before New Year's Day, the county will organize a junior high school math competition. Anyone interested can borrow the math competition newspaper that the school subscribes to and practice the exercises on it. Then you can participate."

Almost no one paid attention to this matter, and everyone just ignored it.

"The second thing is, everyone stay after school this afternoon. The school has assigned us to shovel the dirt pile in the playground, the one next to the cafeteria."

After hearing Liu Ruilan's words, the scene suddenly became a little noisy.

"I still have to feed the pigs when I get home!"

"A pile of dirt? Why is our class the one shoveling the pile? I heard that Class 3 next door only needs to pull out the weeds."

"That's not fair!"

"Can I not go?"

Seeing the situation getting out of control, Liu Ruilan raised her voice, "Everyone, be quiet! It's not a life-threatening matter. Everyone has to go. If you need to ask for leave, I'll have Teacher Ye call your parents!"

Calling parents is a very serious matter... In the countryside, the concept of respecting teachers is deeply rooted in people's minds. In the eyes of many parents, if a child makes a mistake in school, the teacher should beat him severely. If he dares to resist, the parents will beat him.

For a teacher like Ye Ling who doesn't seem to be good at beating people, the beating will be done by the parents. Once the call is made to the parents, they will definitely get beaten for no reason.

So no matter how reluctant everyone was, the voices in their hearts gradually died down.

Time soon came and it was time to go home from school in the afternoon.

Because of Liu Ruilan's advance threat, no one dared to escape.

After waiting for a while, Ye Ling hurried to the classroom.

Seeing that everyone was still there, she said apologetically, "Classmates, I'm really sorry to keep you here. After all, this is our own school, and we need to build the school playground. I hope everyone can help! I won't assign you any homework today!"

Hearing that there was no homework, everyone's mood improved a little.

Seeing this scene, Ye Ling sighed slightly. It was really not easy.

But at this moment, Ye Ling thought of another person...that bastard Li Xu.

Logically speaking, this matter has nothing to do with Li Xu. After all, strictly speaking, he is not a student here. Whether the school playground is well built or not does not have much impact on him. Even if it is well built, he will not be able to enjoy anything.

However, his classmates may not think so. Most of them probably don’t know the purpose of Li Xu’s coming here, nor do they know how long he will stay here... Considering him as an individual in the class, if Li Xu does not participate, everyone will inevitably have some thoughts.

It's just that during this period, although Li Xu acted like a man who had come to his senses and turned over a new leaf, he was still a rich second-generation man from the city after all. Asking him to do this kind of physical labor...

Not only Ye Ling was paying attention to Li Xu, but other students in the class also glanced at Li Xu intentionally or unintentionally.

Most people, on the one hand, were skeptical and wanted to see if this rich second generation would work with them; on the other hand, they wanted to laugh at him.

This rich second generation definitely won’t work seriously, right?

Or rather, he probably wouldn't do it!

Many people have this mentality, and it is hard to say how it is triggered... It seems to be very interesting to see a rich second-generation from the city fail in something he is not good at. In comparison, their proficiency will bring a lot of superiority.

It was one of the few places where one could display a sense of superiority over the young men from the city. Many people thought so.

So when Ye Ling gave the order and asked everyone to get the tools, Li Xu followed without saying a word. Xia Xiaohe looked at Li Xu in surprise.

Xia Xiaohe subconsciously asked, "Are you going too?"

Li Xu nodded calmly: "I am also in this class."

"Uh...that's not what I meant...If you don't know how to do it later, I'll teach you."

Everyone in the class went to the place where they received the tools.

Ye Ling was the organizer of the event, but she had no experience with this kind of situation and her mind was in a mess. Li Xu saw her cousin's embarrassment, thought about it, and walked forward to pull her aside.

"What are you doing?" Ye Ling looked at Li Xu with some confusion.

Li Xu touched his chin and said seriously, "Cousin, many of my classmates are somewhat resistant to this matter. You should know that, right?"

"Of course I know, but there's nothing I can do..."

Li Xu interrupted his cousin. He had no intention of listening to her opinion on the matter. What he wanted to do now was to help her arrange the matter efficiently.

Li Xu said to his cousin seriously, "Cousin, since everyone is so resistant, there will definitely be some slacking off when we do this. Those who are not proactive will definitely affect those who are proactive. In the end, the work that can be completed in half an hour may end up taking an hour or two..."

Ye Ling hesitated for a moment. She had anticipated the situation Li Xu described. Seeing the boy's confident look, she frowned and asked, "Do you have a solution?"

Li Xu looked at the tools. There were only three types in total: a backpack, a hoe, and a shovel, and the quantity of the three tools was roughly the same.

He smiled faintly and began, "Divide the tasks. Everyone will work in groups of three, each with a hoe, a shovel, and a backpack. Each group will be responsible for a small area, and once they're done, they can leave. With this arrangement, each group will be able to work very hard... There will definitely be no shoddy work."

Ye Ling thought about it and her eyes lit up. This was a good idea, and it could also arouse everyone's competitive spirit. She glanced at Li Xu with some surprise: "Your brain is quite quick!"

Li Xu smiled and didn't explain anything.

Ye Ling arranged everything according to the method suggested by Li Xu.

When they heard that they would be divided into groups of three, the students naturally found their familiar friends to form teams.

Soon, only Li Xu, Liu Ruilan and Xia Xiaohe were left without a companion.

Li Xu didn't have many friends when he arrived here, so naturally he didn't have many companions.

Xia Xiaohe usually concentrates on studying and doesn't have any close friends. Liu Ruilan is usually too strong and no one wants to be in the same group with her.

The three people who were left naturally got together.

Li Xu smiled and said, "It seems that there are only three of us left. Then let's form a group of three!"

Xia Xiaohe naturally had no objection. She whispered to Li Xu, "If you can't do this kind of work later, just help me with the backpack."

Li Xu asked curiously, "What do you mean by...get on the backpack?"

"If you want to carry it on your back, you need someone to help you lift it up. This is called a backpack." Xia Xiaohe explained patiently.

Li Xu thought for a moment, "You mean, I'll help you carry it, and then you carry it, is that what you mean?"

Xia Xiaohe nodded as a matter of course.

Li Xu glanced at Xia Xiaohe's thin shoulders, and when he looked straight at her, he found that the top of the girl's head was not even at the height of his mouth.

However, Liu Ruilan had a very reluctant expression.

I am so unlucky that I can only be assigned to the same group with these two young masters and young ladies.
