After chatting about the engagement, Jin Qiu stood by my side for a while, but I couldn't make a deal during this time. It's no wonder that Uncle Qiang feels pressured, because it is indeed quite difficult to support his family by setting up a stall. However, this is not a hope for most people who do not have any skills. Especially in the past few years, the media has exaggerated this entrepreneurial method and created a lot of so-called stall-style entrepreneurial miracles, thus inducing many people to join it. Although miracles do exist, only those that most people can't do can be called miracles.

This can't be said that the media is unscrupulous, but I think that entrepreneurship, which is a matter of survival, is better guided by rationality.

After a while, Jin Qiu looked at the watch on his wrist and said to me again: "I want to go back to Shanghai early tomorrow, so I won't accompany you first, you can go back early to rest, and we will call if you have something." ”

"Well, you stay safe on the road."

After saying this, Jin Qiu got into her car, and I watched her leave the street, which was gradually deserted because of the arrival of night. However, it is very similar to Tulip Road, and when summer comes, the night is the busiest.

At this moment, I looked at the street lamp standing in the distance, as if I saw the cycle of the four seasons. I'm curious to know how we're going to be living this summer.

I don't dare to forget that I have already reached the age of becoming a father. Now that all material conditions have been affluent, there is really no reason for me to shy away from the sacred matter of inheritance.

Perhaps, this summer is the best planting season. And it's time for me to quit smoking!

With that in mind, I extinguished the cigarette I had not finished smoking, and my world became quiet.

A moment later, Uncle Qiang came to my side, he looked at the direction where Jin Qiu was leaving, and asked me, "Xiao Jiang, the girl who came to bring you food just now is your girlfriend, right?" ”

"It's the fiancée."

Uncle Qiang's eyes widened, and then with his chapped hand, he took out an old red plum from the soft-packaged cigarette case and lit it, he took a deep breath before saying to me: "Then you are really blessed, this girl looks rich and noble at a glance, if you want to say that the aura on her body, it is really not covered!" ”

I smiled and replied, "Is it a blessing for the two of you to be together, it's not enough to have a rich and noble appearance." I think the most important thing is the feeling of being together. ”

Uncle Qiang was reluctant to recognize my theory, he said: "That's what I said, but this poor couple mourns everything, and it's better for the two of them to live together!" ”

"Then you and your aunt, aren't you having a good time?"

Uncle Qiang sighed and replied: "Although she doesn't have any complaints, but seeing her suffer with me for half a lifetime, my heart is uncomfortable enough, what else to talk about!" ”

Looking at his depressed appearance, I comforted: "Uncle Qiang, believe me, everything will be fine." ”

This sentence is not a promise, at most an encouragement, but Uncle Qiang seems to have been injected with a booster, he looked at me with confidence, and nodded with a smile.

I was silent for a moment, and then said to him: "Uncle Qiang, I plan to contract a piece of land in the suburbs of Nanjing, let's first pick a few flowers that sell well and plant, and then divide the labor and cooperate." You are responsible for the day-to-day management of the flower garden, and I am responsible for opening up the market, what do you think? ”

"Do you really have a way?"

I replied seriously: "Uncle Qiang, I don't like to talk to death, but I will definitely do my best to do this matter." At the same time, I promise not to let you take a little risk, you just do your part...... When I say this, can you believe me? ”

Uncle Qiang replied again and again, "I have believed, I have believed." I've lived most of my life, and this time I feel the most entrepreneurial feeling! ”

……

At about nine o'clock, I closed the stall and went home, and then made a call to Qiao Ye, who had not been in touch for a long time. I told him that he had good wine and meat at home, and that he should come over as soon as he had time.

The most important thing Qiao Ye seems to lack is time, so after a while, he came to my residence in Lane 24. Unlike before, this time he came in a suit and tie.

As soon as he entered the door, he sighed and said to me: "Jiang Qiao, if you don't ask me today, I also plan to ask you out for a few drinks tomorrow, what are we calling it?" ”

"Fox friends and dog friends, happy to meet?"

"That's right, it's a fox friend and a dog friend, happy to meet!" As he spoke, he smiled and said to me, "That is, when I come to you, I can still remember what kind of virtue I used to have...... It's been a really tiring two years! ”

After saying that, he lit a cigarette and inhaled it a little heavyly.

I pulled a chair out from under the table and motioned for him to sit down and have a few drinks.

After drinking a glass of liquor, he said to me again: "Jiang Qiao, there is something that I can only help you in my heart for a long time...... Actually, I came to you tonight for this...... I really want to have a road (the child born to Qiao Ye and Su Han, Qiao Ye named Qiao Youlu), can you contact Su Han and let her take Youlu back to China to reunite our father and son. ”

I immediately questioned, "Why did she go back to China, not you went to the United States to find her?" Seriously, I think you're sometimes insincere and inconsiderate...... Why do you say that if you miss a child, she must come back? ”

Qiao Ye replied with a depressed face: "It's really inconvenient for me to go to the United States to find their mothers, I have to take into account Qin Miao's feelings." Sometimes it's not that I don't think about it, it's that I think too much. ”

I thought about it from his point of view, and it was indeed like this. I can't help but sigh a little, the Qiao Ye I once knew, has always been eager to play life. Unfortunately, in the end, his life was completely out of control in this game, which also put him in today's dilemma.

Sometimes, I also think of myself because of this, I don't want to go through Qiao Ye's old path, I want my life to be clean. At the very least, we can't leave the things that the previous generation did not handle well to the next generation...... I believe that when Youlu, the child, grows up and understands things, he will definitely be disappointed in the relationship between Qiao Ye and Su Han.

At this time, Qiao Ye said to me again: "Jiang Qiao, you are also at the age of becoming a father, you must be able to understand my feelings." This matter, even if my brother begs you, okay? …… Now you are the only one who can talk to Su Han. ”

I replied with some embarrassment: "I'm quite relieved of you, but I'm just a little worried about Qin Miao." I'm worried that she will do something that might hurt Su Han when she knows that she comes back with the child. ”

Qiao Yedang even promised: "If Su Han is really willing to come back, I guarantee that this matter, as far as you know, I know, Su Han knows, and will definitely not cause unnecessary trouble." ”

I don't know why, looking at Qiao Ye's almost pleading appearance, my heart is full of sympathy. Then, he nodded and answered the matter. Qiao Ye just fell into a state of ecstasy, he took out his mobile phone and told me that he had bought a bunch of toys for Youlu on a shopping website a week ago. Come to think of it, this is the mood of being a father, even Qiao Ye, a wild and uninhibited man, melted in front of this special affection.

After another glass of white wine, I chatted with Qiao Ye about my own affairs, and I said to him: "After I withdrew from the dream tree, I have been idle for a long time. Recently, I really want to do a little flower and tree business, so I want to talk to you, but if you can agree to this, it will be purely a help. ”

"You want to be the landscape part of our development, right?"

I nodded and replied, "Well, but it may take some time for me to set up the company, do you have any projects that have not been publicly tendered, if it is convenient, let me do it." ”

Qiao Ye thought for a while and said, "Yes, there is, but the projects on our side are relatively large, and the requirements for the landscape are relatively strict." If you do have the strength to meet our company's standards, I will definitely give you priority......"

"Okay, if you can say that, this thing will be easy to do, and I will start working on this matter in the next few days. Let's breathe for now. ”

Qiao Ye happily responded to this matter, and for me, this matter can still be included in the scope of official business. Because Qiao Ye's words are also very clear, human favor is only a small part, the key is whether I can come up with the corresponding strength and do a good job in this landscape project.

For me, this is not a particularly serious challenge, because in the past two years of Dream Tree, I have accumulated a lot of confidence in my career, I know how to make good use of the resources around me, and I am not afraid of possible risks.

Qiao Ye and I drank this wine until late at night, and when he was leaving, he told me to get in touch with Su Han as soon as possible, and then convey his thoughts to Su Han.

……

After a brief wash, I lay down on the bed, and then found Su Han in the WeChat friend list. Actually, I wasn't quite sure I could handle this before I messaged her. First, I'm not sure if Su Han is still using this WeChat account. Second, this is a bit difficult for Su Han. If she was willing to take her child to see Qiao Ye, she would not have returned to China once in the past two years.

I took a deep breath, then edited a line of text and sent it to Su Han: "It's been a long time since I heard from you, I'm very worried, if you receive a message, please reply." ”

What surprised me was that Su Han had been using this WeChat account that didn't even have the dynamics of the circle of friends. After about ten minutes, she replied to my message: "I'm here, I haven't been in touch for a long time, are you okay?" ”

I hurriedly replied, "I'm still living the same life as before...... By the way, are you still in the United States? ”

Su Han has always regarded me as a friend who can be trusted, and she replied: "I returned to China two days ago, and I am in Nanjing...... You must be surprised, right? In fact, this time I returned to China mainly to go to Xiao Ai's appointment, and she invited me to watch her solo concert in Nanjing. ”

The surprise in my heart had reached an extent beyond measure, so much so that it took me a while to reply, "How did you get in touch with her?" ”

"Maybe there is a fate between us...... She was studying at Berklee College of Music, and I happened to be living in Boston, and we met after a long time. ”

I looked at this message and lost my mind. Once, I thought about a lot of places where Xiao Ai might go, but I didn't think of Berklee College of Music. In fact, if it weren't for me, she would have accepted her mother's arrangement to study there before she opened the "Aiqiao Piano Shop".

At this time, Su Han sent another message: "Tomorrow night, I asked Xiao Ai to have dinner together, if you don't mind, come along...... It's like meeting an ordinary friend, and it just so happens that we haven't seen each other for a long time. ”

I didn't expect Su Han to plan to bring me and Xiao Ai together!

I did feel a little bit motivated, but I didn't know how to deal with it. If I could really treat her as a regular friend, I would definitely go to the appointment!
