“Alright, but you need to ask Qiao Mei for her opinion. If she says that she has no problem with it, then you can grow your strawberries outside,” the dean said as he looked at Xie Jing in disdain.

The dean called Qiao Mei over and told her about Xie Jings issue. Qiao Mei did not mind and said with a smile, “l have no problem, but the spot where Xie Jing grows his strawberries must be far away from me.”

“No problem! The spot you chose is in the north, so I’ll plant it in the south! I definitely won’t cause you any problems!” Xie Jing said excitedly.

“Since Qiao Mei has said so, then you can go outside too,” the dean said.

Qiao Mei then went back to the spot she had chosen to plant the strawberries.

First, she set up the framework of the plastic shed. She had already asked Wu Duo and the others to go back to the factory to bring some essential materials for her. The timeframe of 20 days was very tight and she could not delay the planting by even one day. It was a race against time.

Once everything was ready, Qiao Mei stopped worrying about anything. Before she left, she infused some energy into the seeds. She believed that they would germinate soon.

“When you don’t have class, come over and take a look on my behalf. Keep an eye on my strawberries and don’t let anyone get close to them,” Qiao Mei said to Wu Duo and the others.

“We’ll come and stand guard here every day! We’ll make sure that your strawberries grow well!” Wu Duo said firmly.

“No, you shouldn’t go too close to my strawberries either. I’m worried that they’ll spread rumors again and claim that you’re helping me. Just stand around and look. You don’t have to care about what others do as long as they don’t get close to my strawberries,” Qiao Mei instructed.

“Alright! We’ll remember that!” Li Xue said.

As the days passed, Qiao Mei’s strawberries grew better and better. After one week, Qiao Mei’s plants had grown taller than those grown by the students in the glass greenhouse. Gradually, the other students gave up on this competition.

“Look at her seedlings, then look at ours! How can we still compete!’

“No, I’m not competing anymore. Let’s just give up! We should go back and study!”

“l don’t have any chance of getting the slot to go overseas anymore!”

In the end, there were only two other students left in the competition. One was Xie Jing, and the other was a fourth-year student named Wang Wei.

Wang Wei came from an average family and he was very dissatisfied with the job assigned to him which he was supposed to start at after graduation. He was sure that no one would be happy to work at the grassroots organization in the suburbs immediately after graduation. His classmates were going to work in the city’s laboratory or as government researchers. He was the only one who was sent to the grassroots organization in the suburbs.

Qiao Mei’s plants grew better and better under everyone’s watchful eyes and the results were starting to show. The teachers were also looking forward to Qiao Mei’s results. They had a feeling that this was going to be a new breakthrough and that the strawberries planted by Qiao Mei this time round would definitely be very helpful towards their experiments.

Qiao Mei had not been idle during this period of time. The government had given her a new reward. As soon as the relevant departments signed the documents, Xia Wen brought them over.

The family gathered around the document and made wild guesses. After all, this matter concerned Qiao Mei and it was not appropriate for them to open the envelope without her. They decided to wait for Qiao Mei to return and reveal the answer.

“I’m guessing that it must be a house. Qiao Mei likes houses so much. If it’s a house, she will definitely be happy!” MO Zhu said with a laugh.

“No, no, no! She already received a house the last time. I don’t think it’s that simple this time. It should be… money! It must be money! Can it be foreign currency! I’ve never seen foreign currency before!” Xia He said excitedly.

“l think it might be a reward for my grandchildren. Qiao Mei doesn’t lack anything now. It’s probably related to the children,” Xu Lan said.

“Alright, alright! Stop making wild guesses. You’re all wrong. Let’s talk about it when Qiao Mei comes back,” Xia Wen said as he looked at Xia He in disdain.

Xia He hurriedly ran to MO Zhu and said coquettishly, “Sister-in-law, look at him- My eldest brother is bullying me!”

“I’ll definitely teach him a lesson! Don’t worry! I’ll make him sleep in the side room tonight!” MO Zhu said as she coaxed Xia He.

“Hmph! Thank you, Sister-in-law~ I just know that Sister-in-law treats me the best!” Xia He said as she looked at Xia Wen smugly.

Xia Wen shook his head helplessly. He really did not know if it was a good thing or a bad thing that his wife and younger sister were on such good terms. In the end, Xia Zhe was the one who would resonate with him the most in this family.

Qiao Mei rushed home. As soon as she entered, she asked, “Where are the documents?”

“On the table,” Xia Wen said as he looked at Qiao Mei with some interest..
