Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

Chapter 14 Returning to the village to farm
Xue Rui thought for a long time, but he had no idea why Lin Ruoxi committed suicide, so he simply turned on the TV in the school infirmary and started watching.

The popular show "Super Boy" is playing on TV.

The content is also very old-fashioned, with a city boy and a poor village kid swapping lives;

The young master made a big fuss in the countryside, and the rural children visited the city just like Granny Liu visiting the Grand View Garden...

In short, from Xue Rui's perspective from 2024, it's all a script.

However, his mother watched with great interest and was so moved that she cried. She actually followed suit and sent Xue Rui to live in the countryside for a while...

"Pleasant Goat is still the best."

It’s not that Xue Rui likes to watch Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, but the TV station is like that. You watch whatever it shows, and there is no choice at all...

By the time Xue Rui watched a few episodes of cartoons, a bottle of nutrient solution had been used up.

When Dr. Liang was changing the dressing, Xue Rui discovered that Lin Ruoxi had woken up and was also staring at the TV.

"Awake?" Xue Rui moved to the side so as not to block Lin Ruoxi's view.

"Thank...Thank you."

Lin Ruoxi thanked him quietly, her eyes fixed on the cartoon on the screen, a rare glimmer of light flashing across them.

Xue Rui didn't want to get to know this girl bit by bit any more. He planned to be more direct and ask why Lin Ruoxi committed suicide so that he could have a countermeasure.

But he didn't want to put too much pressure on the girl, so he faced the TV, turned his back to Lin Ruoxi and asked, "Is there anyone bullying you at school?"

"Bullying?" Lin Ruoxi said to herself. She didn't understand why Xue Rui asked this question.

“Bullying doesn’t just mean getting beaten. For example, if someone forces you to do something you don’t like or orders you to run errands, that’s all bullying.” Xue Rui explained. What he subconsciously thought of was bullying.

Lin Ruoxi curled up her legs. She thought about it and realized that no one was "bullying" her. If she had to name one person, it would be Xue Rui.

But this question was raised by Xue Rui, so how could she dare to answer it.

"No, no one bullies me." Lin Ruoxi explained, her eyes wandering.

"Do you think this world is a beautiful place? What do you plan to do in the future and what kind of person do you plan to become?" Xue Rui asked several questions in a row.

But he regretted it after he asked, because Xue Rui found that even he himself could not answer these "philosophical" questions.

Lin Ruoxi thought for a long time and said, "I...will stop studying after I finish my high school entrance exams."

Xue Rui was not surprised at all. Lin Ruoxi sat in the last two rows. How could she be a good student? There was a high probability that she would not be able to get into university.

The final examination is held in the second half of the second year of high school. As long as you pass the final examination, you can get a high school diploma.

Many people come here just for this piece of paper and are not planning to take the college entrance examination, so naturally there is no reason to continue to be in the third year of high school.

In fact, most students with very poor grades are prepared to do this.

"Then what are you going to do?" Xue Rui asked.

"Let's go back to the village and farm." Lin Ruoxi said softly.

"..."

Xue Rui's brain froze. He couldn't connect this extremely beautiful woman with the farmer who worked hard in the fields.

Teachers often say, "If you don't study hard, you will go home to farm," and students often say, "Go home to farm, go back to the village to herd sheep."

These are all just jokes.

Even in the future, few people of this generation will return to agriculture.

But Lin Ruoxi's tone was very serious, which made Xue Rui turn around and look at Lin Ruoxi.

Lin Ruoxi saw Xue Rui turn around and quickly lowered her head again.

"Farming? Are you serious?" Xue Rui had a question mark on his face.

Students who drop out of school in this era generally learn a craft.

For example, beauty salons, car repair and waxing, or at the very least, driving an excavator or working in the service industry...

But why would they return to the village to farm?
"Hahaha!" Doctor Liang was so amused by the conversation between the two that she was shaking with laughter. She could never have imagined that a shy and introverted student like Lin Ruoxi would actually make such a joke, and even confused a slick student like Xue Rui. It was really funny.

"Stop laughing, she is serious." Xue Rui sighed.

If this was said by someone else, he would definitely not believe it, but this was said by Lin Ruoxi. A girl like Lin Ruoxi who could be frightened by him would never dare to joke with him.

"Student Lin, are you really planning to go farming?" Dr. Liang asked curiously.

"Hmm..." Lin Ruoxi buried her head in her knees. She knew that she would be laughed at if she said it out loud, but she didn't dare to lie to Xue Rui.

Now it was Dr. Liang's turn to remain silent.

"Why aren't you laughing? Go on." Xue Rui said sarcastically.

"Why? You are so beautiful. Even though you eat poorly, your hair is so good that it makes me jealous. Such good conditions should not be buried." Doctor Liang felt it was a pity.

Xue Rui and Dr. Liang actually had the same idea. As filthy adults, they subconsciously thought of using beauty to exchange for a high-quality life.

This girl is so strong-willed, how could she accept something that would sell out her dignity?

However, Xue Rui thought that in the next few years, after the explosion of mobile Internet, Lin Ruoxi's face itself would be worth endless money, and she could live a good life without having to sell her dignity.

But... the prerequisite is that Lin Ruoxi can live to that time.

"Grandma...is not in good health. You need to take care of her."

Lin Ruoxi's voice was muffled and her thin shoulders were trembling slightly. It was silent crying.

"Where are your parents?" Dr. Liang asked.

Lin Ruoxi didn't answer, but just shrank her body tighter.

"Poor child." Doctor Liang and Xue Rui looked at each other.

No answer is itself a silent answer.

The two of them had imagined a scene in which an orphan accompanied an old man and depended on each other for survival...

Dr. Liang was overflowing with maternal love. She hugged Lin Ruoxi for a long time to comfort her. Xue Rui felt jealous because he felt that the position should have been his.

From then on, the three of them fell into silence until Lin Ruoxi finished injecting the last bottle of nutrient solution. Lin Ruoxi spoke up to break the atmosphere here: "Thank you, Dr. Liang. I have to go back to class."

When Lin Ruoxi was about to stand up, Xue Rui grabbed her shoulder.

"Why are you in such a hurry? You're already sitting in the back row. One or two classes won't make a difference." Xue Rui said with a smile.

It was actually only the third class in the morning, and there was still an hour before lunch time. Xue Rui felt it would be a shame to go back to the classroom at this time, as he had taken the whole morning off.

"Well...ok." Lin Ruoxi sat down obediently.

Dr. Liang wanted to say something, but didn't know how to start.

Under normal circumstances, if any student wanted to stay with her for a while longer under the pretext of being sick, she would definitely scold them and tell them to go to class.

But the two people who came this morning made it impossible for her to open her mouth.

"Actually, I think you should study hard and find a good job in the future so that your grandmother's living conditions can be improved." Xue Rui said earnestly.

He believes that as long as the students are not too stupid, it is not too late to start working hard from the first semester of the second year of high school. The college entrance examination in 12 is not like the hell mode that it will be more than a decade later, and the rewards for hard work are still quite generous.

But these words coming out of his mouth obviously had no persuasiveness;

Because his grades are probably at the bottom of the class right now...

"By the way, what was your ranking in the last exam?" Xue Rui asked. He planned to make a study plan for Lin Ruoxi.

"second."

"Huh? Which one?" Xue Rui felt that he had heard it wrong.

"Second." Lin Ruoxi repeated.
