  Zhang Shufang, could she possibly have a crush on me?

  Wang Haodong couldn't see anything, but just Xiaoyu Zhang Qian's words made him feel that she was reminding him of something.

  Forget it, no more thinking about it.

  Wang Haodong scratched his head and sped up on his bike.

  Riding alongside Zhang Qian, Wang Haodong asked, "Zhang Qian, there seem to be a lot of students in your school. How many can get into college every year?"

  "Our school is the town's middle school, the only high school in this town, for many years." Zhang Qian tilted her head and thought for a moment, saying that the school had a history of over 30 years.

  "In the past, our school's teaching quality was average, and the promotion rate was not good. In recent years, we have recruited many good teachers, and the promotion rate has gradually improved. Two years ago, six students were admitted to first-class undergraduate programs, and sixteen were admitted to second-class undergraduate programs. Last year, ten students were admitted to first-class undergraduate programs, and twenty were admitted to second-class undergraduate programs."

  "The enrollment rate is definitely not as good as that of key high schools in the city, but we are a poor mountain village. Many parents do not value education and their children usually drop out after junior high school to work. You know, the tide of migrant workers has begun in recent years. Parents would rather have their children go out to work and earn money or learn a trade than waste money on reading books."

  "Oh, I see." Wang Haodong had never stayed in a rural area before and it was the first time he heard of such a situation.

  Then, the two of them chatted for a while longer. Zhang Qian asked about his educational background. He was a miserable high school graduate with scores that only qualified him for a second-tier university. His parents had passed away early, and he was the only one left in the family. The financial situation was not good, so he didn't go to college or retake the exams, but instead went straight out into society to work and earn money.

  "What a pity! If you were to repeat a year, you might have made it directly into Tsinghua University."

  "People often say that if you attend university, you'll regret it for three years, but if you don't attend university, you'll regret it for a lifetime." Wang Haodong smiled and said: "But attending university is insignificant to me. Among the 360 professions, every profession can produce top talents, as long as you work hard, there will definitely be a way out."

  Zhang Qian said: "I believe in you, and I'm sure you'll make a difference in the future."

  "Are you going to read my fortune?"

  "Of course, I have a very keen intuition." Zhang Qian smiled complacently, "By the way, what I told you earlier, I want you to be my brother-in-law, think about it, my sister is a great beauty, she can match up with you."

  "I'm afraid I'm not good enough for your sister."

  "Come on, you go chase her, you have to take action."

  At this time, a man's voice came from behind, "Zhang Qian, Zhang Qian, wait for me."

  Wang Haodong turned his head and saw several young men riding bicycles quickly chasing after him, with the leader shouting.

  Zhang Qian also turned her head to look, Wang Haodong keenly sensed that a hint of disgust appeared on her face, and asked: "Do you know them?"

  Zhang Qian said: "Students in the same grade as me, I was in Class 1 of Senior Three, they were in Class 2, often played pranks, taking dead snakes and centipedes to scare girls, very annoying."

  Wang Haodong hummed in response, thinking to himself that it was his chance to shine. Those few kids had arrived just in time; if they were bullying Zhang Qian, then he could use them to show off his own heroic and mighty image.

  "Zhang Qian, are you going to the fair?" Three young men caught up and asked with a smile, one of them being the young man who had just shouted.

  This person looks like he's ten years old, about 160 cm tall, chubby, with a tuft of yellow hair on his forehead, dressed in the standard attire of a second-rate young punk.

  "Uh-huh."

  "How dare you make such a face, who are you making it at?" The young man was immediately displeased.

  Zhang Qian said: "Am I very familiar with you? Why are you giving me a smile for no reason?"

  "Hey, you're quite arrogant, aren't you? Learned some new tricks? Believe me, I'll beat you up?"

  You're really bold, threatening Zhang Qian, who might be my cousin, right in front of me? Are you tired of living? Wang Haodong sneered and kicked him directly.

  Bang.

  That little fatty didn't expect Wang Haodong to make a move, and under the unprepared situation, he was directly kicked down by Wang Haodong. He let out an "aiyaya" cry, and both he and his bicycle fell to the ground. His luck was too bad, and he actually fell into a puddle of mud and water. When he got up, his whole body was covered in mud, looking like a muddy monkey.

  Haha.

  Zhang Qian couldn't help but laugh.

  "Who the hell are you?" The little fatty pointed at Wang Haodong and shouted.

  Wang Haodong stopped the car and walked up to him in big strides, without saying a word, and kicked him to the ground again.

  "Who?" The little guy fell into the mud again, and all his clothes were soaked.

  Wang Haodong kicked again, and he wanted to say something else, but not a word came out because he realized that if he spoke again, Wang Haodong would definitely kick him again.

  "Listen up, kid. From now on, when you see Zhang Qian, get lost. Otherwise, I'll have to teach you a lesson." Wang Haodong coldly scolded, then looked at the two accomplices of Little Pangzi and cursed: "What are you looking at? Scram!"

  The wicked need the wicked to grind, those two young people are still students in school, they were scolded by Wang Haodong for a few words and didn't dare to speak.

  "Let's go, Qianqian."

  Zhang Qian smiled and rode away with Wang Haodong.

  "Wow, Brother Wang, you're really amazing!" Zhang Qian's small face was filled with an adoring expression. At her age, she also admired those known as the strong and heroes.

  "Generally speaking, I'm the third best in the world." Wang Haodong said with a smug expression, feeling very pleased in his heart. Being idolized by the opposite sex was simply a different kind of satisfaction.

  Zhang Qian suddenly said: "Last time you helped me teach those little rascals a lesson, many girls in our class have been asking about you, huh."

  "What am I doing?"

  "Be my girlfriend."

  "Wang Haodong exclaimed in surprise: 'It can't be that absurd, right?'"

  "The women in the mountain village all like strong men, and you're just their type." Zhang Qian said, pedaling the bicycle even faster.

  Wang Haodong followed closely and took the initiative to start a conversation.

  Finally arrived in the town, after the rain, it's a sunny day again, and it's also the weekend. The people who came to the market were particularly numerous, they came from all directions, villages surrounded by crowds, crowded and bustling, what a lively scene.

  Wang Haodong and Zhang Qian locked their car at the door of a furniture store and went shopping together.

  As Wang Haodong passed by the entrance of a barber shop, he heard a clear voice: "Little Wang, Qianqian."

  Wang Haodong and Zhang Qian turned around at the same time, but it was to see Wang Xin, who was sweeping the floor in the store. They hurried over and asked: "Wang Xin, how's business?"

  "It's okay." Wang Xin is also Wang Peng's cousin and Zhang Shufang's classmate, smiled and said to Wang Haodong, then asked Zhang Qian: "Qianqian, why didn't your sister come to the gathering?"

  "She has caught a cold and is not feeling well, so she's resting at home."

  "What? A cold?" Wang Xin asked anxiously, and after inquiring, found out that he was almost recovered, only then did she put her mind at ease. She turned to chat with Wang Haodong, asking him if he was getting used to living in Liujiayuan Village.

  Wang Hao Dong hadn't spoken yet when Zhang Qian answered on his behalf, "Big Brother Wang is very used to living in our home and has helped us with many things."

  "Oh?" Wang Xin was visibly curious, his eyes flashing with amusement as he asked with a smile: "What have you all been up to?"
