Chapter Sixteen: The Power of Agricultural Tractors

  The next day, Qin Chao sent Xiaoyu to school and then returned to work at Guangyuan School as usual.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, as soon as he arrived at school, he was scolded by Wang's electric baton. This guy fell into a well and hit him with a stone, saying that Qin Chaoming was absent without leave, not only deducting his full attendance but also deducting 50 yuan from his salary.

  Qin Chao was still fuming, and he couldn't vent his anger. He decided to stroll around the campus, asking everyone about the rumors of the second male dormitory being haunted. However, these students seemed reluctant to mention it, and when Qin Chao asked them, they all remained silent or said they didn't know.

  This made Qin even more furious, it seemed that he really had to wait until his shift to find out what was going on.

  "Qin Ge, Qin Ge!" Just as Qin Chao was about to go crazy, little fatty Liu Chuan suddenly found him and handed him a pack of soft Chinese cigarettes with a smile, "Come on, Qin Ge, have a smoke."

  "Have you made a fortune?" Qin gave him a white eye and pushed away Liu's cigarette, "I don't smoke, keep it for yourself."

  "Hey, Qin Ge, you don't know, Yu Qian came to find me again." Liu Chuan was very excited, his chubby face full of smiles.

  "What does she want from you?" Qin Chao frowned, wasn't Yu Qian following Fang Hua? Why would she come back to find Liu Chuan, this poor kid?

  "She asked me if I still loved her." Liu Chuan said with a smile, "Actually, of course, I still love her. We grew up together since childhood, and our feelings are really deep. But at that time, I was a bit embarrassed, you know, as a man, I have some pride. So I spoke hastily and said two sentences to her. As a result, she ran away with red eyes. Qin Ge, I know you're a good person and can talk, can you help me apologize to her?"

  Liu Chuang clasped his hands together and bowed several times to Qin Chao. Qin Chao hastily pulled him up, saying with a mixture of laughter and tears, "You're something else! If you want to be with her, why bother about saving face? What if you end up hurting her feelings and she can't take it?"

  "Can't be! Can't be!" Liu Chuan hastily waved his hand, "I've known Yu Qian for a long time, she's very timid and couldn't have done such a thing. Help me out, Qin Ge, please, please."

  Seeing Liu Chuan's pleading appearance, Qin Chao couldn't help but soften his heart.

  "Alright, I'll help you this time, but next time you'd better be careful. Women need to be coaxed a bit, don't always insist on saving face."

  "Yes, yes, Brother Qin taught me a lesson and I will correct it from now on." Yu Qian was able to repent, which made Liu Chuan very happy. Just as the two were talking, suddenly a loud "dang dang dang" sound came from outside the school gate, startling both of them.

  The students at the school gate also looked out curiously and wondered what this sound was.

  Then, the source of the voice finally revealed its true face. A middle-aged man wearing a blue cotton-padded jacket and canvas slippers was driving a red hand-drawn tractor, pulling a cart full of Chinese cabbage, with a trail of smoke, and suddenly appeared at the school gate.

  Because Guangyuan's schools are relatively close to the suburbs and there are some farmland not far away, tractors pass by here, which is not a fresh thing.

  But the middle-aged farmer stopped the tractor, sat on it, turned his head to the security guard standing at the gate, and asked in a daze.

  "I'm asking you, big brother, do you know where Liu Chuan from the International Economics and Trade Class 2 is having class?"

  The young security guard on duty was the youngest in the security department, probably only 17 or 18 years old. The middle-aged farmer's words instantly stunned him.

  "I don't know." As everyone knows, university classes don't have fixed classrooms, only dormitories are fixed places.

  "Sorry about that, I'll call him myself." The middle-aged farmer said, taking out an iPhone 4 from his pocket, which startled the security guard. The security guard thought to himself, "Damn, I make 4000 a month and can't even afford a phone like this. Is this farmer's brother for real?"

  Wang Dianbang rushed out of the security room and shouted loudly at the peasant.

  "Hey, where did you come from? This is a school entrance, no parking allowed!"

  "This guy, you really can talk nonsense!" The middle-aged farmer patted his beloved tractor and said, "This is a tractor, not a small car."

  Wang Dian Gun was left speechless, and after a long silence, he burst out.

  "No, tractors are no exception! In front of the school gate, parking of all motor vehicles is prohibited!"

  "Ah, I see!" The peasant brother hastily nodded, "Got it, next time I'll bring a donkey cart over."

  This king directly went crazy, I guess he was stunned by that farmer brother.

  At this time, Liu Chuan hurriedly ran out of the school gate and shouted at the peasant brother.

  "Dad, how did you come?"

  "You little rabbit, how can I not come!" The middle-aged farmer saw Liu Chuan, his face was overjoyed, but he still cursed out of habit, completely different from his simple and honest temperament just now.

  "Your mother misses you and is worried that you're suffering alone at school. Here, let me pack some of your favorite roasted potatoes for you to take with you! I'll be heading to the market later to sell these cabbages before prices go up."

  As he spoke, the middle-aged farmer took down a burlap sack from the car, presumably filled with sweet potatoes, and handed it to Liu Chuan. Liu Chuan took it over, instantly breaking out in a cold sweat, the sack almost slipping out of his hands and landing on his feet.

  "You little rabbit, how can you be so weak!" His old man suddenly got furious, lifted the bag of potatoes with one hand and let Liu Chuan hold it in his arms.

  "Here I come." Qin Chao also walked over, one hand taking the bag of potatoes from Liu Chuan, holding it lightly in his hand.

  "Hey, young man, you're quite strong!" Liu Chuan's old man patted Qin Chao's shoulder. "Thanks a lot."

  Then he turned his head and asked Liu Chuan, "Where did you take the girl from Lao Yu's family?"

  "She's in class, she's in class." Liu Chuan replied hastily, wiping his sweat.

  "Look at other people's daughters, they know how to study. And then look at you, skipping class again! Next time I find out you're skipping class, I'll break your legs!" The middle-aged farmer couldn't help but blurt out two curses, and then continued in a serious tone, "You little brat, let me tell you something. Old Yu fought against the American devils for many years, and didn't have this daughter until he was over 40. She's precious to me. If you dare treat Yu's daughter badly, and I find out about it, I'll break your legs!"

  After finishing speaking, he nodded to several security guards in gratitude and then mounted his red vehicle, speeding away with a "vroom" sound.

  "Your dad is really interesting!" Qin Chao patted Liu Chuan's shoulder, then lifted the burlap sack in his hand, "I don't want that cigarette of yours, but give me two of those roasted sweet potatoes instead. My hometown is also a rural area, and I love eating these."

  "Heh heh, if Qin Ge likes it, then take them all."

  "How can that be, this is what your mother gave you." Qin Dynasty wouldn't take away what others liked, took out four or five baked potatoes from the bag and stuffed the bag back to Liu Chuan, "You carry it yourself, your old man was right, such a big person, doesn't even have this bit of strength."

  The potatoes are still hot, when Qin was a child, his grandfather in the countryside often roasted them for him to eat. Maybe only northern children have eaten this roasted potato, which is to put the potato (also called sweet potato) without peeling it, directly into the very fiery stove, and burn it with charcoal and other things together. After roasting, it has a smoky flavor and tastes great.

  "Ugh..." Liu Chuan immediately looked crestfallen. This bag was not light at all, although he was born into a farming family, but Liu Chuan had been spoiled by his mother since he was young and hadn't done much farm work. These potatoes were going to be the death of him.

  "Liu Chuan, next time tell your dad that no motorized vehicles are allowed to stop at the entrance, nor any carts pulled by livestock!" Wang Dianbing and others drove the tractor far away before turning back and shouting at Liu Chuan.

  "Yes, yes, Director Wang, I know." Liu Chuang couldn't afford to offend the school's security director and nodded repeatedly.

  Wang Dian Gun hummed and turned his head back to the security room. Qin Chao looked at his back, with a hint of a smile.

  At this time, the campus suddenly became noisy. Many people rushed to the teaching building of the School of Business, as if they were eager to see something exciting.

  "Classmates, where are you going?" Qin Chao asked curiously and hurriedly.

  "There's a girl on the business building who wants to jump, I'd better go take a look. Otherwise, when people come down later, it won't be interesting." The student said heartlessly and then ran off quickly.

  "Jumping off a building?" Qin Chao was startled. When he was in college, nothing like this had ever happened at school. The children from the North have quite strong psychological endurance, so there shouldn't be anything that would make them choose to jump off a building.

  "Cut it out, who'd believe that!" Liu Chuan burst out laughing. "Whoever attends this school doesn't have some family money. The comfortable life is yet to come, who'd dare jump off a building!"

  The opinions of the two people coincidentally converged, and the door of the security room was suddenly pushed open. Wang Dianbang hastily led a large group of security guards to the School of Business building.

  Chen Yingyang ran at the back, he saw Qin Chao and suddenly shouted.

  "Oh my handsome guy, what time is it? You're still here raising your grandfather. Hurry up and go to the Business Building! A female student from the Business Department is going to jump off the building. If she jumps to her death, our bonus for this month will be gone!"

  After finishing speaking, he ran away like Liu Xiang, disappearing from Qin's line of sight in a flash.

  "My god, someone really jumped off the building!" The two of them believed it now. Qin Chao snatched the big sack from Liu Chuan's hands and threw it into the security room, saying urgently, "Go go, quickly go take a look, don't let something happen!"

  The two of them ran all the way to the business school building, and sure enough, on the top of that seven-story high building, a woman with long black hair was standing there. Qin Chao had incredible eyesight, he saw that the woman was wearing a famous brand outfit, and she even had an LV handbag slung over her shoulder. The woman's face was quite pretty, although not stunningly beautiful, but in school, probably many people would pursue her. So Qin Chao didn't understand why such a well-off girl would choose to jump off the building.

  "Qin Chao, you're here too?" Hu Lili and Fang Wen, two little girls, stood in front of Qin Chao, hand in hand.

  "Yes, such a big thing, how can I not come! Who is this on top of you, don't you recognize?"

  "I don't know." Hu Lili shook her head and then said, "But I heard she's from the Logistics Department of Business School, Class 2, named Yu Qian!"
