Chapter Twenty-Nine: A New Life
Three years later.
Zhu Chuan moved to a small town on the edge of Jiangcheng, which was where his mother and grandmother used to live, and it was also very close to Jiangcheng and had beautiful scenery.
Zhu Chuan opened a flower shop here, which is not the kind of place with a lot of people in the city center, so the business is average, but there are many people who come to play in the peak season, which is barely enough for her to maintain her current life......
As for why she chose to open a flower shop, it was purely a coincidence!
After she sold the house in City A, she went back to Jiangcheng to visit her grandmother, and when she happened to pass by a flower shop, she saw a bunch of small white-green flowers at the door, exuding a faint fragrance.
The clerk said, "Beauty, you have a good eye, these two flowers are very suitable together!" ”
"Hmm." In fact, she had received such a bouquet before.
"Do you know their flower language?"
"I don't know." She shook her head, not having studied the language of flowers.
The clerk handed her the wrapped bouquet, and she took it and said, "Thank you." ”
Then the clerk continued: "These two kinds of flowers together can be translated as: There is no one else in sight, you are everywhere, and my love for you is unswerving!" Very nice meaning. ”
Zhu slowly looked at the flowers in his hand, lowered his head and sniffed it, and said softly, "Thank you!" ”
This time the clerk didn't hear it, and she didn't know who she was talking to......
Later, she used the remaining money on hand to find a store in the town where her mother lived and opened a flower shop, and lived an ordinary and comfortable life every day......
Her flower shop has two floors, the first floor sells flowers, and the second floor is the attic where she eats and lives.
Grandma, they knew that she moved back to the town and came over on purpose, they saw that she opened a store in such a remote place and lived in the store, and kept telling her to go back to Jiangcheng and said that they raised her, and they didn't need her to work so hard as a girl, Zhu said that it was good to convince them that they liked to open a flower shop, and they also had a concept of life in a small town, so they let her open the shop first, and when she was tired, she went back to Jiangcheng....
Yan Mingyu will come over once or twice a year, but he will never mention Song Jinsi. He probably knew that they were separated, and he was afraid of upsetting her.
Zhu Slow's flower shop is called "Flowers Like a Dream", which is the word in a song she has heard.
She unpacks the flowers that have just arrived at the flower market, prunes them, and puts them in a bucket with nutrient solution to wake up. While pruning a tricky rose, a customer came to the shop, and she looked up. His facial features are handsome, with a pair of seductive peach blossom eyes, a high nose bridge, and thin lips with a charming color.
"Mr. Bai, come so early today" This customer is that she has come to her shop twice a month to order flowers since the store opened, and the quantity is very large.
It seems that he is doing procurement, and I heard him say that it is because the president of the company likes flowers, and every office has to put some flowers. She also asked him why he didn't go to the city and came to such a remote place, and he said that she had better flowers here, and he liked it more.
"Well, today's flowers have just arrived!" Bai Moli looked at the flowers scattered on the stage, picked up a white rose, and prepared to smell it.
Zhu Kuan hurriedly stopped him, "Be careful of stabbing your hands!" ”
She subconsciously wanted to catch Bai Moli's wrist, but immediately retracted it after touching his bracelet.
Bai Moli glanced at the string of beads, hooked his thin lips and took the white rose, and said, "I forgot, roses are thorny." After that, I put the rose under the tip of my nose and smelled it before letting go.
Zhu slowly looked at his hand as if it was okay and asked him, "Is it still the same today as before, just white roses?" ”
"Well, can you still give me a discount this time?" Bai Moli looked at her and rubbed her fingers, in fact, she had been pierced just now, but there was no blood.
"Okay," she nodded, all he said was to ask her to give him a bouquet of water lilies every time. , he took a lot of goods, and he didn't want a discount if she wanted to give him, he just wanted a bouquet of water lilies. He seems to have a soft spot for this kind of flower, and when it is not the water lily period, he will increase the price to ask her to help buy imported lotus.
Zhu slowly sorted out the flowers he wanted, packed them and helped him put them in the trunk of the car, and then took out a bouquet of water lilies and gave them to him.
There were ripples in his peach blossom eyes, and he took the water lily and said, "Miss Zhu, we'll see you next time!" ”
"Well, walk slowly."
This Mr. Bai's personality is much more introverted than his appearance, and his peach blossom eyes, which are always smiling, are so deep that people can't see what he thinks.
Zhu Slow stood at the door of the store to see this big customer, she also suspected that he had to come all the way to her store to order flowers, but every time he took the flowers and left, he never did any strange behavior, which made her let down her guard and believe that he just took a fancy to the quality of her flowers.
"Slowly, your God of Wealth is here again?" The proprietress of the B&B shop next door looked at the person she had just sent away, and joked with her with a wink.
"Sister Ruowei, don't make fun of me."
"Tsk, such an excellent little brother, if he comes to stay with me for a long time, I'm afraid I'll give him all the stores!" The proprietress threw her a wink.
"You can ask him next time, maybe he'll be really interested in your shop." The proprietress of the B&B has always loved to laugh with Zhu Slow, she is a few years older than Zhu Slow, she looks amorous but has always been single, and I don't know why......
"You don't know what to do!" The proprietress glanced at her with disgust.
She understood what Sister Ruowei meant, she had told Zhu Slow that this man was good, you could try it, but neither Zhu Slow nor this Mr. Bai had this idea of the relationship between men and women, and she felt that there was nothing wrong with living alone like this.
Zhu slowly returned to the store to continue to sort out the remaining flowers, and then cleaned up. Occasionally, Sister Ruowei would invite her to her homestay for dinner, and she would often make a pot of flower tea and sit on the wrought iron chair outside the store with her, drinking flower tea and watching the crowded streets. She basically spends her day like this, and she also feels very warm when she sees the happy smiles on the faces of the guests holding flowers, and her current mentality is much more open-minded than before......
She sleeps much better now, probably because she is tired of managing the flower shop by herself, and she sleeps heavily at night, although she is still awakened by nightmares occasionally, but rarely often.
She was awakened by the movement in the store in the early hours of the morning, she looked at the door on the second floor, and felt that someone was prying at the handle of her door, and when she turned on the light, the movement outside the door also stopped. She was a little frightened to walk to the door, and when she heard footsteps coming downstairs, her heart beat to her throat, but she didn't dare to open the door rashly, in case there was really a thief, she was not a thief at all. She picked up the clothes pole in the room and guarded the door, she was afraid that the thief would come back and quickly took her mobile phone to call the police.
Half an hour later, when the police came, she dared to open the door, the counter drawers downstairs were pried open, the cash and computers were all taken away, and the store was also turned into a mess.
The sky was also dawning, Zhu Slow could only clean up the mess first, and the police also went to the merchant next door to obtain surveillance, so the homestay proprietress also knew that Zhu Slow had encountered thieves in the store.
"The thieves are too rampant now, are you okay slowly?" As soon as Ruowei entered the store, she looked at Zhu Slow with worry.
"I'm fine, it's just that the thief stole the cash and the computer, and broke my doors, windows and cabinets" Zhu slowly tried her doors, windows and cabinets couldn't be used.
"You're fine, what did the police say?" Ruowei breathed a sigh of relief.
"The police took the surveillance away, saying that most of the surveillance records had been destroyed, and they had to go back and see if they could find valuable clues."
"I also gave them the surveillance record today, I hope to catch the thief soon!"
"Well, I'm going to find someone to fix my doors and windows, can you help me take a look at the store?" The doors and windows have to be repaired quickly, otherwise they will not be able to sleep peacefully at night.
"Okay, you can go quickly!" It's all neighbors, how could she refuse this little thing.
"Sister Ruowei, thank you."
"What's polite, go quickly!"
Zhu Chu went to find the master craftsman, came to her shop to measure the size, and then the master went back to get the materials to help her change the door locks, strengthen the windows, and even add a layer of locks to the doors and windows on the second floor.
In this way, Zhu Slow didn't dare to turn off the lights at night, and he always felt that the thief would come again when he looked at the doorknob, and he couldn't sleep well.
"Slowly, didn't you sleep well at night?" Ruowei sat down on the iron chair and watched Zhu slowly basking in the sun, her half-squinted eyes and her face was not very good.
"Hmm." I can't sleep at night, I doze off during the day, and my whole body is tired when the spring sun shines.
"Are you scared alone at night?"
"Sort of..."
"Why don't you come and sleep with me before the thief gets caught?"
"No, that's too much trouble for you." Zhu slowly shook his head, feeling that it would be difficult for her to be troubled.
"What's this, I originally opened a homestay, and now there are a lot of vacant rooms, so we don't have to be so polite if we have such a good relationship." They are all women and about the same age, she can understand Zhu Slow's mood very well.
"Well, I'll bother you for a few days." Her words have all come to this, and Zhu Wan is no longer polite, otherwise he seems rusty.
"Okay, okay, you have time to pack your things, come over after work!"
"Thank you, Sister Ruowei."
"You're welcome, I'll go pick a good room for you first."
In the evening, after she closed the store, she packed up some simple toiletries and clothes and went to the next door, she had been to the homestay but did not live here, came to the residence in the backyard, there were a lot of green plants planted around the patio, some of them were sent by Zhu slowly, and the spring flowers bloomed just right. There is also a man-made fountain in the courtyard, a few goldfish in the pool, and a fat orange cat is playing with the fish. Her yard is separated by a guardrail that opens onto a babbling river, and visitors can sit in the courtyard and enjoy the people playing on the river in small boats and the street across the river.
Ruowei saw it and quickly drove the orange cat away, and said helplessly: "My little fat doesn't know how many goldfish have harmed me." ”
Zhu smiled slowly, Ruowei loves her cat very much, and you can know how happy it is by looking at its size.
Ruowei took Zhu Slow upstairs, opened the door, and they walked to the window Ruowei said, "This is the best room left except for my one, how is it good?" ”
"Thank you, I love this room." Open the windows to the view of the backyard and the river at an unobstructed glance, and the view of the town at night is truly stunning.
Zhu Chu feels that she is really lucky, she can always meet such a warm person, she used to be too selfish and narrow-minded, because she was afraid of being burned, so she always turned her back to the sun and turned her back to everyone, now she is beginning to try to accept the kindness of others, and learn to be brave......
