Although Liu Qingshan's azaleas are not neat, every branch, every flower, and even every leaf on the azalea is full of life and sunshine.

At a glance, it seems that what you see is not a gorgeous blooming azalea, but a spring with beautiful mountains, a gentle summer, a high mountain, and a flowing water.

In its casual form, the splendor of life and the color of it are presented in the most perfect and healthy way.

If those neat masterpieces are the beauties on the assembly line, then Liu Qingshan's azaleas are the village girls with extraordinary aura in the mountains.

Village girls who don't eat fireworks may be a little dirty, some are not good at dressing up, and even a little sloppy. The rolled up trouser legs, the cheeks stained with fresh mud, and the hair pinned with leaves are all blatant reminders of her identity as a village girl who has never seen the big world.

However, her agile demeanor, clear eyes like high water, delicate nose, small and ruddy mouth, and smooth and delicate cheeks without fat powder are all irreproducible beauty in this world.

Even the top plastic surgeon can't replicate her smile.

Even the most powerful painter can't paint the stars in her eyes and the spring breeze in her smile.

The moment He Feng saw the azaleas, he had the feeling of seeing a fairy, as if the azaleas swaying in the wind were his lovers in his previous life and the fetters of his present life.

Just looking at the photos and videos can make him feel this way, and he knows very well that if he sees the real thing, he will be shocked beyond words.

He confidently informed his boss of his feelings, hoping to let Liu Qingshan's azalea representative participate in the exhibition. Then the boss will hold a meeting to ask for everyone's opinions.

However, for his personal reasons, these rhododendrons of irreproducible beauty were vetoed.

He Feng felt very uncomfortable, thinking that Liu Qingshan would be unhappy after telling Liu Qingshan the bad news, but he didn't expect that Liu Qingshan would comfort him instead.

He thought that he couldn't let Liu Qingshan down.

He also comforted Liu Qingshan and said: "Qingshan, it's okay, I won't blame myself, don't feel bad about you, let's think of a way, I will definitely let your azaleas appear at the flower show." ”

"Huh? Is there any other way? Didn't you say you had to have a license to compete?"

"The solutions are all thought up by people, as long as you don't give up, there must be a way, you wait for my news. ”

He Feng's words full of fighting spirit made Liu Qingshan's heart instantly feel a lot more comfortable.

Although he didn't know what the road ahead was, Liu Qingshan was quite moved to see He Feng working so hard to make his azaleas appear at the flower show.

He was a little embarrassed and said, "That, He Feng, I think about it, why do you have to let my flowers go to the flower show?"

"Well, I don't know if you've ever felt this way, but when you go to dinner and you find a good restaurant, you have the idea that you want to tell everybody about it and let everybody try it. Or, when you stumble upon a very unpopular but very good movie, you can't help but want to share it with others so that they can also feel the charm of the movie. ”

Liu Qingshan seemed to understand a little.

It's like when he finds a delicious wild honey and wants to tell everyone about it, so that everyone can taste it.

He didn't have any doubts in his heart now, he just waited for He Feng's good news with peace of mind.

However, this wait was a bit long, and it took another three days before He Feng sent him a message.

"Qingshan, everything is done, tomorrow morning, you will directly pull the most beautiful pot of azaleas in your house to the city. ”

Liu Qingshan happened to be having lunch at home when he received the news.

He thought that after lunch, he would have to go into the mountains to dig rhododendrons. But as soon as He Feng's news came, the plan had to be changed immediately.

He happily threw away the dishes and chopsticks, stared at his mobile phone with his eyes blazing, and listened to He Feng's words again.

That's right, He Feng did say that he would pull a rhododendron to the city tomorrow.

And it's the best-looking one.

So, the matter of participating in the flower show has been settled?

Liu Qingshan was excited, and at this time, He Feng said again: "I have already arranged the flower show, and tomorrow you just need to bring your best pot of azaleas." ”

This sentence was like a fierce medicine, which made Liu Qingshan finally cheer uncontrollably: "Haha, great." ”

"What's so good?" Wu Cuimei looked at her stupid son suspiciously, "Why are you so happy?"

Although I really want to share this joy with my mother, the matter has not been fully achieved, so Liu Qingshan thinks it is better not to say it first, so as not to make the family happy in vain.

So, he made up a white lie and said: "Haha, that's right, a friend of mine who used to work on the construction site found a partner, chased them for a long time, and finally caught up with them, and they were about to get married, and called me to drink the wedding wine." ”

As soon as she heard this, Wu Cuimei couldn't help but be happy: "This is indeed a great joy, Qingshan, look at it, your friends have found a partner to get married, you have to hurry up, you know?"

Liu Qingshan: ......

I really want to slap my mouth, why do you say that if you have nothing to do? It's not good to say something? Why do you have to say that you are looking for a partner or something?

Wu Cuimei continued to teach earnestly: "Qingshan, although you are still young, but, let me tell you, the sooner you get married, the better, think about it, if you get married and have children now, after six or seven years, your children will be able to go to elementary school, and then you will be more than thirty years old, how good, in another twenty years or something, your children can get married again, and at that time you are only forty-five or sixteen years old, still young." ”

Liu Qingshan: ......

After listening to what his mother said, Liu Qingshan pulled the rice in the bowl clean, and hurriedly walked out: "Mom, I won't tell you so much, I'm going to fill a pot of stone flowers and send it to him as a congratulatory gift tomorrow." ”

"Take a stone flower as a gift?"

"Yes, he likes flowers and plants, just like me. ”

Liu Qingshan didn't say much, and after a few prevarications, he came to the yard and began to choose rhododendrons.

Nowadays, there are many stone flowers in the yard, and the appearance varies from high to low, and it is quite difficult to choose the most beautiful pot of azaleas.

Finally, after picking and choosing, looking at the azaleas and analyzing them with He Feng, I selected a rhododendron in the yard with a thick plant, full form and many flower buds waiting to be released.

After choosing, it is time to nail the wooden shelves and pack them.

The next morning, Liu Qingshan took the azalea and went out early as agreed, and after arriving in the city, he looked for it according to the location sent by He Feng.

When I arrived, I found out that the destination was actually a flower shop of decent size.

As soon as He Feng saw Liu Qingshan, he immediately greeted him enthusiastically: "I didn't expect you to be so early." ”

Today's He Feng is dressed more casually, but he exudes nobility all over his body.

Liu Qingshan thought to himself, it is estimated that He Feng is really a second-generation official.

However, if he is a second-generation official, then his colleagues should be too late to scold him, how can they oppose him everywhere?

Liu Qingshan didn't have a choice, but just said with the same enthusiasm: "Haha, I just thought that if I came early, we could leave early." ”

"No rush, everything was arranged. He Feng took Liu Qingshan into the flower shop.

The layout of this florist is not like a regular florist.

Ordinary florists are eager to fill every corner of the shop with flowers and fill it to the brim, but this florist is not so crowded, but a bonsai here and a pot of flowers there, decorating this small shop with an orderly arrangement.

In addition to greenery, there are also some unique stones and antiques in the store.

A middle-aged man dressed equally casually sat behind a tea table at the root of a tree, and when he saw two young people walking in, he immediately stood up and greeted, "Come on, come on, have a cup of tea first, don't worry." ”

With that, he poured a few cups of tea from the purple clay pot on the coffee table at the root of the tree.

He Feng introduced: "Qingshan, let me introduce to you, this is our local famous craftsman, and many of his bonsai have won awards at major flower shows." ”

"Haha, how many years ago was that, what are you still bringing it up for?" the man smiled, "Little handsome guy, don't listen to He Fengniu, my bonsai are nothing compared to your azaleas." ”

Liu Qingshan saw that the other party was modest, and he didn't dare to be complacent, so he said very modestly: "Where and where, for these bonsai flowers or something, I am a layman, and I hope you will give me more guidance in the future." ”

"Haha, it's easy to say, come, let's have a cup of tea and rest first, and then set off later." ”

From the process of chatting, I learned that this man who looked to be about forty years old was named Wu Shi, and he was indeed a famous person.

However, that was before he was thirty years old, and then, as he grew older and his imagination became scarce, he began to live in seclusion.

He has never won any awards for his work.

From his words, you can feel that he has some regret.

He Feng comforted: "It's okay, just the so-called three stinkers, one Zhuge Liang, this time the three of us will work together, and we will definitely be able to make Qingshan's azalea win the award." ”

"yes, yes. Liu Qingshan didn't know how to comfort people, so he followed He Feng's words.

He Feng smiled: "Haha, you are really not modest." ”

"Hee-hee, you all think I can win the award, so what am I humble? ”

"But now is not the time to rejoice. He Fengdao, "This flower show is a relatively large flower show in South China, and many famous craftsmen will participate, whether you can win the award or not, it all depends on luck." ”

"Why rely on luck?" Liu Qingshan wondered.

"You don't have the strength, so it's not by luck?"

Liu Qingshan: ......

"If I had known that I could only win the prize by luck, I should have brought a few more pots of azaleas, so that the chances of winning would have been better. Liu Qingshan said with some regret.

"Haha, you are stupid, rare things are expensive, you know? If you bring several pots of beautiful rhododendrons to the exhibition at once, I can guarantee that your chance of winning the award is zero. ”

"Don't hit people so hard. Wu Shi said with a smile, "The rhododendrons in Qingshan are beautiful and natural, and it is still possible to win awards, it depends on the eyes of the judges of this year." ”

After drinking tea and resting for a while, the three of them packed up and set off.

Although the road to the flower show is not too far, it takes about three hours to take the highway.

On the way, looking at the scenery speeding by on both sides of the highway, Wu Shi's mood was very complicated, and he couldn't help but complain to He Feng: "He Feng, I regret it a little now." I shouldn't have listened to you. ”

"Why?" He Feng sat in the co-pilot's seat, turned his head to look at Wu Shike with a tangled face behind him, and said, "What do you regret?"

"Alas, I haven't participated in this kind of flower show competition for more than ten years, and now in the eyes of my peers, I am just an ordinary flower shop owner. I went to this kind of large-scale flower show as a self-employed person, and in the eyes of our peers, it was simply beyond my means, you don't know, what they said about me in the WeChat group. Alas, I really shouldn't have listened to you. I've become their joke now, and they're all waiting to see me make a fool of myself. You've hurt me. ”

"Haha, that's because of this. He Feng saw that Wu Shi was so entangled that his brows were squeezed, and he couldn't help but smile, "Don't worry, I will definitely make you raise your eyebrows this time." ”

"It's so easy to say, each flower has its own eyes, but think about how you would explain it if you met your colleague at the flower show. Wu Shidao.

Liu Qingshan then remembered that He Feng was an employee of the largest flower and tree company in the city, so he said: "Yes, He Feng, it seems that your company also participated in this flower show, so you are not with them? If they see you with us, will it affect you?"

Although Liu Qingshan has never been in a large company, he thinks that as long as there is a place of interest, there will definitely be competition, and once there is competition and interests, people's hearts will not be ancient.

If He Feng's colleagues saw He Feng helping outsiders participate in the flower show, they might have to target He Feng behind their backs.

He Feng smiled very casually: "Hey, what's wrong with them, I don't rely on them to eat, they like to say whatever they want, just don't bother with them, in short, Qingshan, you just calm down and take good care of your azaleas, and you don't have to worry about anything else." ”

He Fengde's words are true, Liu Qingshan really doesn't have to worry about anything.

After arriving at the destination, don't worry about the hotel where you stay, and don't worry about the place to eat, He Feng not only prepared in advance, but also paid in advance.

This made Liu Qingshan very embarrassed.

When the three of them were eating at a high-end restaurant, Liu Qingshan lowered his body slightly and said, "He Feng, this place looks very expensive, how much money did you give?" ”
