On Sunday morning, just after dawn, I woke up for the first time in my life when the alarm clock didn't go off, and after a simple wash, I went out and flagged a taxi and went straight to Daxue Road.

When I came to the door of the flower shop, the sun had just shot the first rays of light, the flower shop shutter had been closed, and two rows of welcome flower baskets were placed at the door, and even the cake of firecrackers I bought yesterday was ready.

I walked into the fragrant flower shop and saw Stone and his mother sitting on a stool by the counter, looking slightly nervous, as if they were preparing for a battle.

This is indeed like a battle, if the flower shop does not achieve the desired effect and cannot meet the needs of the two of them, then the only way waiting for them may be to return to the countryside, and their lives will go on a completely different path.

Although I am quite confident in the marketing planning and advertising I have done before, I am inevitably a little apprehensive at the moment. I pretended to be relaxed and said something inconsequential to them, trying to divert their attention and make them less nervous.

I know that if I show a nervous look at the moment, it will undoubtedly make them even more nervous. Sure enough, my composure eased their nerves.

When it was close to nine o'clock, I saw that the other shops outside were opening one after another, presumably it would not affect the rest of others at this moment, so I lit firecrackers and tore off the red cloth on the plaque, and this flower shop called Shiji officially opened.

After the firecrackers went off, I sat next to the rock, and the three of us waited for the customers to come. Time passed minute by minute, and it made me feel that every second was so long.

None of the three of them spoke, and I knew that their hearts were starting to tense again, and even I couldn't pretend to be relaxed anymore.

At this moment, we are like college entrance examination students waiting for the release of their report cards, no matter how much effort we have made before, how extraordinary our performance is, no one can know the result until the results come out.

I couldn't help but be secretly nervous, if I didn't do well in the exam this time, it would not only affect the lives of the two people, but probably directly change their lives.

Finally, it was close to ten o'clock when we waited for our first customer. It was a middle-aged man, and when he entered the door, he said that today was the fifteenth wedding anniversary of him and his wife, and let us prepare a bouquet of flowers for him.

The tension of the three of us was released at once, especially Mother Stone, who was excited as if she had finally seen a glimmer of light in the boundless night, although this halo was small and weak, but it represented hope. She got up and went to pick out the bouquets for the guests, while I hurriedly invited the guests to sit down and poured water and smoked.

Our overzealous enthusiasm seemed to surprise the middle-aged man, who looked at me and then at Mother Stone with a look of confusion on his face.

I was busy smiling and trying to explain to him, but after thinking about it, I simply told him the truth: "Sir, don't misunderstand, to tell you the truth, this flower shop just opened today, and you are our first customer." Your presence is of great significance to us and gives us great encouragement and hope. I said as humbly as I could.

The man listened to my words with a sudden expression on his face, and said with a smile: "I see, congratulations on your opening, your flowers and bonsai here are very beautiful, believe me, you will definitely be rich!" ”

I thanked him again and again. After a while, Mother Stone brought a large bouquet of tied red roses, and the man took it and said with a happy look on his face: "This is the most beautiful rose I have ever seen, and my wife will definitely like it very much, thank you." ”

Seeing that the guests were so satisfied, Mother Stone hurriedly said, "Sir, you have won the award, I wish you and your wife a happy life!" ”

The man nodded in a good mood, turned his gaze to the shelves again, looked at it for a while, and then chose a potted plant before paying and leaving.

After the man left, the three of us glanced at each other, and when we noticed that everyone's mood was better, we couldn't help but smile in unison.

It may have been the first customer who brought us good luck, and as soon as he left, another customer came, and then a succession of customers came to the door, almost without interruption, and as time went on, more and more people came, and at the peak there were even a dozen or so customers waiting in the store, which is not an exaggeration to describe it as a crowd.

The customers greeted the stone mother and the stone very familiarly, and even called the stone name very affirmatively, which made the stone and his mother a little stunned, but it was not easy to ask the guests when they were busy.

But I know that these guests who can accurately name the stone should be netizens who have read my post, and I think they should be dressed as students from a nearby university, and they are kind enough to patronize the flower shop.

I can't help but feel a little emotional, in this world where humanity has been lost, perhaps only these students who have not yet set foot in society can still keep a kind heart, I hope they can continue to be kind, I think.

We were busy until noon, when the hotel had a little less guests, but there would still be one or two guests coming in one after another.

I asked Shi to simply buy three takeaways, and the three of them simply coped with lunch and welcomed waves of customers in the afternoon.

Stone was in charge of packing the bouquets and potted plants selected by the guests for his mother, while I was in charge of entertaining the guests and collecting the money.

The whole afternoon was busy, and the extra branches and leaves cut from the feet of the stone mother had been piled up in a thick layer, and my fingers were a little stiff and numb to collect the money.

Although the excitement and excitement in my heart cannot be clearly expressed in the busyness, I know very well in my heart that this kindness of mine will eventually change the fate of two people, although I have paid the price of almost all my net worth, but at this moment it seems that everything is worth it.

It wasn't until seven o'clock in the evening that the number of customers finally decreased, and after a quarter of an hour after the last customer had left, I pulled down the roller shutter halfway to indicate that it was closed.

He turned back to Mother Shi and Shi Shi and said, "Sister-in-law Shi, you all come and rest!" After saying that, I sat down in the chair and leaned my stiff back as far back as I could, and when I relaxed, the nervous tiredness swept over at once, and the day really made me choke enough, and I thought that the stone and his mother must be similar to me.

Sister-in-law Shi and Shi also came over and sat on the chair next to me, and Shi's mother looked at me and said, "Mr. Wei, thank you!" Her expression was sincere, and I knew she was thanking me from the bottom of her heart, not just for helping her for a day today, but for what I had done for her.

I shook my head with a smile and said, "Don't say anything about Sister-in-law Shi's thanks, who let me have a relationship with this kid Shi." Actually, I didn't do anything, I just didn't want to see Shi Shi drop out of school and go back to the countryside to farm at such a young age, he was still young, he should have other choices. ”

"Uncle Wei, you are a good person, and I want to be a good person like you when I grow up!" The stone looked up at me with a thin face, and said with a serious expression.

I couldn't help but smile, rubbed his head and said with a smile: "Don't, I'm not a good role model, it's better for you to be a good person!" "I think about my current situation, and I think it's true.

After resting for a while, I suddenly remembered that I had collected a day's money today, and I hadn't counted how much turnover there was, so I reached out and pulled out the drawer containing the money, handed it to the stone, and said, "Count and see how much!" ”

Stone took the drawer and said with a shocked expression on his face, "Wow, that's so much money!" He turned to show his mother again, as if he had never seen so much money, and his mouth was so shocked that he couldn't close it.

The exaggerated expression of the stone made my heart more or less a sense of accomplishment, if it weren't for me, he would probably have returned to the country, which is true, and I think I can be proud. So he said to him: "It's not promising, it's just a lot, and there will be more in the future, and you don't have to surprise your eyeballs when the time comes." Hurry up and count. ”

Stone's already bright eyes added a little color to hearing me say this, and he was probably already thinking about what it would be like to have more money in a drawer. He didn't say anything more, and quickly lowered his head and sorted out the messy mess of bills in the drawer.

After sorting it out, he counted it carefully, and it took him about five minutes to finally finish counting, and when he looked up at me, he still said with surprise on his face: "Uncle, a total of three thousand eight hundred and fifty yuan." ”

Before I could speak, Mother Shi spoke first, and she was also shocked, and said in a somewhat incredulous tone: "So much? Have you ever counted the stones wrong? ”

"Mom, I'm in the fourth grade, okay, how can I count wrong if I'm so good at math!" Stone saw his mother questioning his unangry defense.

Mother Shi raised her head again and looked at me with a little excitement and said, "Mr. Wei, I didn't expect to sell so much on the first day, it's all your credit." There are many customers who know the name of the stone as soon as they come, although you didn't say it, and I don't know what method you used, but I think it must be your efforts for this flower shop that will make the business so good today. Thank you, Mr. Wei! ”

I didn't expect her to be able to deduce that I was behind the scenes, and it seems that although she is an old-fashioned woman from the countryside and has not read much, she is actually a very thoughtful woman. Based on this, I believe that she is fully capable of running the store on her own.

"Yes, I did some publicity online and handed out some flyers. But this is just a preliminary promotion for the flower shop, although it seems to be working well now, but it will soon slowly lose its popularity, and you will still have to rely on your business to lay a customer foundation in the future, so what I do is only a very limited thing, and it is also very simple, sister-in-law Shi, you don't have to be polite to me. ”

I was afraid that she would have some psychological burden, so I pretended to be an understatement.
