"Huh? You really went. Li Ming looked at Chu Qionglin who was slumped on the sofa and questioned.

"Of course! Sister, my love is coming! I'm going to have to hold him in my hands. Chu Qionglin hummed a little song, and it could be seen that her mood was still very happy.

"Let's go to Culture Street, I haven't been there much since the branch opened, my aunt must be bored over there alone, why don't you change my aunt to the commercial street?" Li Ming proposed.

Xu was in a good mood, Chu Qionglin was not impatient or refused. If it were the same as before, Chu Qionglin would definitely say: "No, she is still quiet over there alone, how can she be bored, my mother will definitely be very happy." ”

This is already the norm of the Chu family, because in the early years, Chu's father and mother worked hard, two-thirds of the stores in the island city commercial street and all the stores in the island city cultural street are the Chu family, Chu Qionglin also has an elder brother, so Chu Qionglin does not have to fight for his career like his brother, Chu Qionglin's father attributed all the stores in the island city commercial street to Chu Qionglin's name, and Chu Qionglin was happy to be idle.

When she arrived at Cultural Street, Chu Qionglin pulled Li Ming and walked towards the flower shop, Li Ming frowned and looked at Chu Qionglin, despite the reluctance on her face, she didn't let Chu Qionglin let go of her hand.

"Mom, we're coming to see you." After entering the door, Chu Qionglin gave Chu Mu a bear hug.

"Why did you come here suddenly, it just so happened that your sister-in-law also came." Chu Mu pushed Chu Qionglin away.

Chu Qionglin saw Shen Xuewen sitting on the side.

"Oh, sister-in-law, you're here too." Chu Qionglin greeted Shen Xuewen with a smile, and Shen Xuewen nodded, her face full of smiles.

"What's so happy?" Chu Qionglin asked a little strangely.

"Your sister-in-law is pregnant, so come and tell me." Chu Mu smiled and patted Shen Xuewen's hand.

"Oh Na Gong, I'm going to be an aunt."

The mother nodded.

"Come back for dinner tonight, Ah Ming will come too?" Chu Mu said to Li Ming, who was standing diagonally behind Chu Qionglin.

"No need aunt, you can go back early today, I'll look at the store here today." Li Ming said.

After everyone left, Li Ming walked around the flower shop alone, and only relieved when she saw that the potted plants were in good condition.

When it was decided that the mother would take care of the old shop on Culture Street, Li Ming also wrote a note to teach the mother how to take care of potted plants, how to prune flower branches, and how to wrap bouquets.

After Li Ming finished inspecting the potted plants, she took a book from the bookshelf and sat down behind the cash register and began to flip through it.

I don't know how long I watched until the door of the flower shop was pushed open from the outside.

"Hello, what do you need?" Li Ming asked.

After seeing the visitor, Li Ming was stunned for a moment, and then smiled again.

"Hello Mr. Liu." Li Ming greeted the visitor with a smile.

The person who came was the art teacher of Island City No. 1 Middle School, surnamed Liu. It was he who persevered in persuading Li Ming to become an art candidate when he discovered Li Ming's talent in painting, and also gave Li Ming his first dream - a painter.

"Classmate Li Ming, I've finally met you after so many times." Teacher Liu said to Li Ming with a smile.

"Yes, I opened a branch in the commercial street, and I've been busy over there recently, and I recently decided to go to graduate school, so I haven't come here much." Li Ming said and moved a chair for Teacher Liu to sit.

"Are you going to further your education? I said a long time ago that you are very talented. Although you are a little inferior in terms of interpersonal communication, your talent for drawing is not comparable to yours. Teacher Liu said to Li Ming with a smile, with appreciation and relief in his tone.

Van Gogh once said: If a painter sees colors differently from people, other painters will say that he is crazy.

Everything that exists in the world has its truth, don't be afraid of your difference, maybe many people don't understand, but people who understand naturally understand, that may be your talent beyond all people.

Li Ming is not good at socializing, perhaps in order to compensate her, she gave her a pair of hands that can make wonderful strokes.

"Are you married to Shi Chuan?" Teacher Liu asked again?

"Nope." Li Ming's tone was not mixed with a trace of emotion, it seemed that Shi Chuan was an irrelevant person to her, and at this time, Shi Chuan was indeed an irrelevant person in Li Ming's heart.

"Separated? When I graduated that year, Shi Chuan's bouquet of flowers and confession is still fresh in my memory, I have been teaching for so many years, and he is the only one who does this. Teacher Liu said, his mind seemed to have begun to reminisce about the past.

"Is there something you're here for?" Li Ming hurriedly changed the topic.

"Oh, I almost forgot. I came over to borrow two flowers, the best dried flowers, for the children in the studio to sketch. ”

"Do you still have to go all this far in school to find something for sketching? I remember there was a flower shop near the school. Saying that, Li Ming had already gotten up and taken a few roses that had dried up, wrapped them in plastic paper and handed them to Mr. Liu.

"I retired this year, and it just so happened that the owner of the studio next to me was going to the mainland to develop, so I took over, and I can be regarded as contributing to the art education industry in my later years." Teacher Liu took the flowers.

"Are you right next door? It's so close, come over if you need it in the future, and if I'm not there, you can just report my name. Li Ming said.

"Okay. I think you should have something to do, you are very talented, talent should not be buried, I am very supportive of your further study, I will not be wrong. Teacher Liu said to Li Ming with a smile.

Li Ming nodded.

After Mr. Liu left, Li Ming sat behind the cash register again, with Van Gogh's album in her hand.

"I'm becoming more and more convinced that the price of creating good is hard work, disappointment, and perseverance. First there is pain, and then then there is joy.

- Van Gogh"

If the past few years have been a catastrophe for Li Ming, but now that she has experienced pain, it is time to start creating beauty and happiness. Pick up your dreams and pick up what life should look like.

After returning home from work in the evening, Chu Qionglin arrived home a while earlier than Li Ming, and when she saw Li Ming, Chu Qionglin pounced on her with a look of grievance.

"Why don't you just go home and have a meal, why is it like this?" Li Ming frowned and asked.

"My sister-in-law was pregnant, and my mother began to urge me to get married, saying that I didn't have a boyfriend at 25, and my brother was ready to get married at 25." Chu Qionglin said aggrievedly.

Li Ming sighed and patted Chu Qionglin's shoulder for comfort.

"I also want to get married, I'll go to the company tomorrow and propose directly to Chu Heng, what do you say?" Chu Qionglin said to Li Ming seriously.

Li Ming patted Chu Qionglin on the arm.

"You're not in your right mind."

……

"Teacher Liu is here today." Li Ming said.

"Lao Liu? What is he doing? Chu Qionglin sat up straight and asked.

"He retired, and the owner of the mural room was going to the mainland to develop, and Mr. Liu took over."

"He's all retired? Still next to the florist? Wow, then I'm going to see him on the weekend. ”

Li Ming looked at her a little strangely.

"Why the weekend?"

Chu Qionglin glared at Li Ming and said, "I am now a person with a job!" I'm going to work tomorrow. ”

Chu Qionglin's expression at the moment was not an exaggeration, like a hungry wolf seeing something delicious, which caused Li Ming to chill.
