CHAPTER XXXIV
Deng Chunmei, the proprietress of Fragrant Gardening, happened to send a customer who had bought a pot of iris out of the house, and as soon as she enthusiastically sent the customer away, she saw the young leader of her own house walking towards the entrance of their store with a little girl. Deng Chunmei is a neat woman, the southerner is born petite physique, a little fat, neat and neat eyebrows and eyes are shrewd and capable, her face has the dark black color of her early hard work, and there are still some heavy flushes and sunburns on her cheeks.
She and her husband were fellow villagers, and they were introduced to marry her husband, who had just joined the army for less than two years. Marry the poor in the fifties, the poorer the more honorable! Married a soldier in the sixties, no one dared to fight! Marrying a worker in the 70s, an iron rice bowl for a lifetime, marrying a college student in the 80s, and being able to hold an iron rice bowl in the package distribution! In the nineties, I married a lot of money, and I was rich and capricious!
didn't catch up with the trend of the times, even though she was still a little shrewd, and her family conditions were not very good, so she married her husband Yan Jiming, a poor soldier. Marrying a chicken with a chicken, marrying a dog with a dog, her husband treats her well, and she naturally tries her best to make life better at home. Seeing her working hard at home, her husband worked hard in the army to train out the task, and the family's life was getting better day by day, who knew that there were unforeseen circumstances, and in less than two years after her husband was mentioned, her husband was seriously injured on a mission, and his left leg was disabled, so he could only regret demobilization and retirement.
At that time, the family was in need of money, and two children were in school, one in high school and the other in junior high school.
has a husband who is away all the year round, and the family pays more attention to external information than the average person. In their lives, whether it is because of national reasons or family reasons, they have not embarked on the road of knowledge to change their fate, but they do not want their two children to continue their path. The children are also angry, and they are in the suburbs of Jincheng near their village, but they are all admitted to Jincheng key schools in the junior high school.
The children are angry, they smash the pot and sell iron to support the children to get out, and they don't have to face the loess with their backs to the sky, or work hard for their lives. The husband was disabled and demobilized, and the family's main source of income was cut off all of a sudden, and it was impossible to support the family by relying on a few acres of land alone. Therefore, after the couple was depressed and troubled by their children for more than ten days, Deng Chunmei and his wife were ruthless and decided to use their husband's demobilization money to do business.
People often say that God loves people and will not cut people off. Deng Chunmei is also really shrewd and capable, before her husband recovered from his injury, others planted some wheat and grains in the field step by step and waited hard for the receipt, she has begun to pilot the planting of vegetables, supplying the vegetable sellers in the city, and naturally planting more and more when she tastes the sweetness. Of the family's five acres of land, two acres of wheat and grains are kept as their own rations, and the remaining three acres of land have all become vegetable gardens.
Later, when others saw her grow vegetables and vegetables, the price pressure was naturally not as good as when she first started, and her husband retired due to injury. They went to the city to search hard, and finally decided to go back to the old planting industry, the family does not have much money, can not afford the loss of business and waste, can not work hard without much harvest, and finally they have made several choices, chose in recent years with the gradual improvement of people's lives in the flower and plant industry.
In the first two years, they were only as suppliers, and then they had a little surplus money in hand, so they rented a store in this flower and bird market and opened their own business to provide for themselves. Both of them are responsible people, knowing how many pounds and taels they weigh, knowing that they don't have much ability to control the bigger situation, so they can run the flower shop at hand, and then supply some flowers and plants to the small gardening shop, and with the husband's former comrades-in-arms and old bosses to take care of no one to entangle, their lives will be better and better, and they also bought a house in Jincheng. Now they just wait for the eldest daughter or the youngest son to graduate, and see which of them is willing to accept the store, and they can enjoy the blessings.
All this, the most helpful to them is the young leader of the husband in front of them, back then, one of the husband's lives was saved by this Colonel Yan, and the husband's demobilization fee was issued by the leader, without a trace of deduction in full, knowing that they started to do business, he also entrusted his husband and some of his relationships in Jincheng to take care of their business, otherwise how could their business go so smoothly, even if they passed by Jincheng, as long as he had time, he would come to the house to see his husband Yan Jiming. The old leader has done his part, there is nothing to say, and this young man is just to repay the little care that his honest husband took care of him when he first joined the army, and no one knows Entu Bao better than this cold-hearted young man.
Therefore, this one doesn't look at his young age, he is a great benefactor of their family, and their family should be deeply grateful.
"Brother Yan, I regret that I didn't leave you to eat, this time I can't leave anything, stay and taste whether my sister-in-law's craftsmanship has improved, and have a good drink with the master!" Immediately, Deng Chunmei greeted her with a smile on her face. The head of the family has already gone to buy wine and vegetables, and she is worried that she has not left Xiao Yan's leader, so she can't live with others!
"Sister-in-law Deng, I'm going to make trouble for you!" It is strictly forbidden to introduce Su Li to Deng Chunmei sideways: "This is Su Li, and I have a life-saving grace." She has a pot of jade plum that she wants to sell, I see that you also sell orchids here, and I want my sister-in-law to see it to help estimate the price, if you are willing to buy it, give a reasonable price, and I will be a middleman to introduce you! ”
He remembered that he overheard Brother Yan and his wife discussing that orchids are delicate and difficult to feed, but the market is hot, and they dare not start to collect any of the best precious orchids, and if they are not careful, they will lose their money. However, the market is on fire, so we can only follow the market and make up a few low-end orchids from the buyers, with little interest, so as to support the business needs.
The old man of his family is also Ailan, since he was a child, he knows that the jade plum is a common variety in the orchid, and it can be said to be a good thing if it is well raised, which is what Brother Yan and his wife need.
"What do you say about looking at the goods or not looking at the goods, we can still believe Brother Yan's character, the little sister is Brother Yan's benefactor, that is, my Yan Jiming's benefactor, we accepted this pot of jade plum!" The one who answered the call was Yan Jiming, who maintained his balance on crutches, Yan Jiming was medium-sized, with a broad figure, a slightly rough face, a bold and thick style of acting and speaking, and a neat military style. His life was saved by the captain, the captain's benefactor, and he Yan Jiming naturally regarded it as his benefactor.
"Our fragrant gardening is short of orchids, and the little girl's orchids are exactly what they need! Rest assured, the captain will definitely give the little girl a fair price! "What is the market price of the jade plum, let his mother-in-law entertain him in a while, and he will definitely give the highest price.
"Don't worry, don't worry, you still listen to the third brother, let's take a look at the goods first, if you think it's okay, we still have orchids to be put in our house, we want to find a long-term store to sell, the third brother introduced you to me, I also trust the two eldest brothers and sisters-in-law, but the brothers still have to settle accounts, we have to do long-term business, the coming day is long, don't worry for a while!"
With the warm hospitality of Yan Jiming and Deng Chunmei and his wife, they entered the fragrant gardening, and waited for the orchid pot in his hand to gently rest on the solid wood table that served as a counter in the store, Su Li gently removed the bamboo strip cover above the flower pot, revealing the clump of jade plum below.
