Chapter Seventy-Four: Accompany Liu Jingsheng to buy flowers
The winter vacation is coming, Chen Xu didn't go out to work during the winter vacation this year, and she needs to brush up on the questions seriously. I made a lot of money during the summer vacation, plus I usually worked as a part-time tour guide on campus, and my living expenses for the next semester were enough, and I could even not use my fixed deposit of 60,000 yuan. Because she was studying at home, every day Han Yidao saw Chen Xu greeting him as soon as he entered the house, and he was so happy. For Chen Xu's idea of taking the exam, his grandmother and Han Yidao both supported it, and their idea was that it would be better for girls to work easier. Chen Xu accompanied his grandmother to purchase New Year's goods this year, and felt that the strong New Year's flavor came to his face, and it turned out that purchasing New Year's goods was also a very ceremonial activity. But when it was almost the New Year, Han Yidao said to his grandmother: "Grandma, my mother said that I should attend the company's annual meeting on Chinese New Year's Eve this year and celebrate the New Year with employees." Wu Sixian was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Your employees can bring their families to the annual meeting, right?" Chen Xu hurriedly said on the side: "Grandma, I won't go, it's not right!" I'm still at home with my grandmother and you for the New Year! I promise to be good and never bother my grandmother. Wu Sixian smiled helplessly, "You! ”
Han Yidao was busy preparing for the company's annual meeting several days in advance, and the meeting was held late every day. Chen Xu sighed quietly, the vice president is not so easy to do. Wu Sixian was a little regretful, it was easy for Chen Xu to take the initiative to come to celebrate the New Year, and Han Yidao was too busy to see anyone.
The day before the Chinese New Year, Liu Jingsheng called Chen Xu to go to the flower market to buy flowers. Chen Xu and Wu Sixian said a word and put on warm clothes and went out. Liu Jingsheng was waiting downstairs and drove a jeep today. Liu Jingsheng said that it was the first time to visit the flower market, so he took Chen Xu with him. When he arrived at the flower market, Chen Xu was surprised, there were a lot of people here, no less than the people who purchased New Year's goods, as if they didn't want money. A middle-aged woman next to her said to her husband: "It's too expensive here, let's go to the suburban flower shed and buy it!" When Chen Xu heard it, he pulled Liu Jingsheng and said to go to the suburban flower shed, and the result was that Liu Jingsheng drove behind the middle-aged couple's pickup truck and came all the way to the flower shed. At a glance, there are about hundreds of plastic greenhouses, all of which are full of flowers. Liu Jingsheng doesn't care about the price of flowers, but there are relatively few people here and it's not so crowded. The two of them couldn't move when they went in, and they wanted to buy everything they saw, some of them had beautiful patterns, and some of them had good meanings. The flowers in the flower garden are all simple flower pots, Liu Jingsheng and Chen Xu chose their favorite flower pots together, and asked the staff of the flower garden to help change the flower soil and plant them in new flower pots, and the two of them moved them many times again and again. I bought various colors of Phalaenopsis potted plants, cyclamen, longevity flowers, junzi orchids, but also bought North American holly, lilies...... Not only is the trunk full, but even the rear seats are full of flower pots in front of the seats.
On the way back, Chen Xu remembered, "Running so far, isn't it enough to save this amount of money?" Liu Jingsheng smiled, "Whatever, let's talk about it less crowded first." Liu Jingsheng drove the car downstairs to his house, looking at those flower pots a little worried, how many times do you have to go back and forth to get them? He called the property, "Please find a few people to help me move the flowers." I'm in front of Building 6, Building C. "After a while, five or six security guards came over, and they were pulling carts. Sure enough, there were many people and great strength, and Liu Jingsheng commanded to leave a few pots, and the rest all moved into the building. The balcony windows of Liu Jingsheng's big house are full of flowers. Lilies are also placed on the coffee table in the living room and on the TV cabinet. Liu Jingsheng gave the security guard a few hundred yuan for hard work, and then boiled water to make tea for Chen Xu. Chen Xu looked at the time and said that it was already noon, and said Do you have the ingredients here? I'll cook some food and let's have a bite! Liu Jingsheng was very happy, "Yes, yes." I went to the supermarket three times yesterday to shop, and I wanted to wait for the New Year to invite you and Han Yidao to come over as guests. I'm going to borrow an aunt from my mom to help with the cooking. Chen Xu smiled, "You don't need to find an aunt, Han Yidao and I can cook, let's do it ourselves when the time comes!" Saying that, Chen Xu came to the refrigerator and opened the refrigerator door, which was neatly placed, with chicken, duck, fish, vegetables, and fruits. Chen Xu turned around and asked Liu Jingsheng, who was following behind, "What do you want to eat?" Liu Jingsheng smiled like a spring breeze, "I'm not a picky eater, I will eat whatever you do!" Chen Xu took out a piece of pork, a handful of garlic sprouts, a bag of shrimp, two eggs, and saw that there were seaweed, coriander, and celery, Liu Jingsheng stupidly watched Chen Xu take the vegetables out, and kept taking them, and he didn't know what Chen Xu was going to do, he saw Chen Xu take out a carrot and a few pieces of fungus, and thought: Fortunately, I took whatever I saw, it turned out to be useful.
Chen Xu asked Liu Jingsheng: "Is there rice?" Liu Jingsheng hurriedly took out a small bag of unopened rice from the cupboard. Chen Xu praised him, "Yes, you have fireworks here." Liu Jingsheng said proudly, "Of course, I want to invite you to be a guest, I have made preparations, you see I have a purchase list, what I need to buy I have been thinking about for several days!" As he spoke, he pulled out several pieces of paper from his pocket, on which he sketched and wrote letters.
Chen Xu's heart was moved, her eyes were hot, and she went to cook silently. Liu Jingsheng didn't know anything about cooking, but he handed things next to Chen Xu. Chen Xu washed the rice and pressed the cooking button in the rice cooker, and Liu Jingsheng studied carefully on the side. Liu Jingsheng saw that Chen Xu carefully chose the dishes, and muttered on the side, "Han Yidao must have saved the galaxy in his last life." Chen Xu heard it and looked at him with a smile, "Are you complimenting me in disguise?" Liu Jingsheng was a little awkward, "Yes! You're so capable, it's amazing. I have such wonderful friends, and I must have been a great good person in my last life. Chen Xu smiled, "How can I be so good, it's because your requirements are too low." I do these are trivial things, and the people around you have nannies at home to cook, and you don't have to do it yourself, so I think it's amazing to be able to cook. In fact, it is not difficult to cook, and Han Yidao can also cook. ”
The rice is cooked, and the dishes are served. Chen Xu picks trouble-free dishes to make, but Liu Jingsheng thinks it's amazing, so he makes three dishes and one soup so quickly: fried shrimp with celery; Stir-fried pork with garlic sprouts, shredded pork with fish flavor, seaweed and egg drop soup. Liu Jingsheng also wanted to contribute to this meal, so he hurried to get a bowl of rice. The two of them sat opposite each other, and Liu Jingsheng was very satisfied with this meal. This is Chen Xu took the initiative to help cook, Chen Xu didn't twist at all, and cooked for him generously, exactly like his imaginary friend. Seeing Liu Jingsheng snickering from time to time, Chen Xu was puzzled, "What are you laughing at?" Tell me about it, and I'll be happy too. Liu Jingsheng smiled again, "How can I find a friend like you." Chen Xu was stunned, "Liu Jingsheng, don't be presumptuous." There are bound to be some people in everyone's life, and I think it's fate. We were probably good friends in our previous lives, but it was only in the past 20 years that we found each other. I also want to say the words you said that day: thank you for having you in your life! I don't know if you can recognize our friendship if you have a girlfriend in the future, but Han Yidao has no objection. Liu Jingsheng looked at Chen Xu, "We are frank and open, and we are not afraid of what others say." I don't know if I can find a wife in this life, and if I can, I must be someone who appreciates you. Chen Xu glanced at him, "What are you talking about?" You look more handsome than a star, how can you not find a wife! Liu Jingsheng smiled bitterly, "It's better to have a shortage than to have an abundance." ”
After eating, Chen Xu helped wash the dishes and clean up the stove, and Liu Jingsheng worked on the side. After everything was done, the two of them sat on the sofa on the balcony with tea and admired the vibrant flowers. Chen Xu also felt amazing, how did he suddenly become a very good friend with Liu Jingsheng.
In the afternoon, Liu Jingsheng drove Chen Xu back, and when he arrived downstairs at Wu Sixian's house, Liu Jingsheng opened the trunk and went upstairs with a few pots of flowers with Chen Xu, Chen Xu couldn't open the door with the flowers, so he had to knock lightly on the door, and the nanny came to open the door. Seeing Chen Xu and Liu Jingsheng coming in with flowers, they asked, "Did you go buy flowers?" Chen Xu smiled, Wu Sixian heard Chen Xu's voice and came over to see that Liu Jingsheng was also here, very strange. Chen Xu explained: "Grandma, Liu Jingsheng asked me to help buy flowers, you see this is the longevity flower and phalaenopsis he gave you. When Wu Sixian saw it, he was very happy "Thank you, young man." Liu Jingsheng didn't stop long, said hello to Wu Sixian and left, Chen Xu helped put the longevity flowers and phalaenopsis on the balcony, and the lilies in the vase on the desk. The nanny came over and asked Chen Xu, "Who was that young man just now?" It's so good-looking. I remember the last time Aunt Wu was hospitalized, he also came to help. Chen Xu smiled, "He is my friend with Han Yidao." He is still Han Yidao's high school classmate! You forget, grandma was hospitalized last time he sent us back. The nanny remembered, "I haven't forgotten, such a good-looking young man, no one will ever forget it." At that time, I was busy cleaning up, and I didn't ask who he was. ”
Wu Sixian didn't say anything against Chen Xu and Liu Jingsheng's relationship this time. She said to the nanny: "Xiao Lu, tomorrow is the New Year, you can celebrate the New Year at home with peace of mind!" After the New Year, you can come over whenever you want, this is your salary for this month. As he spoke, he handed Xiao Lu an envelope. Xiao Lu smiled and thanked her, she cleaned up and said goodbye to the old man and Chen Xu and went home for the New Year. The old man looked at Chen Xu, "It's the New Year for the two of us." Chen Xu went over to help the old man, "Grandma, Yidao will come back at night, just be busy with work, I will accompany you for him, we will not be disappointed." ”
Tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, Chen Xu suddenly remembered that he had accompanied his grandmother to buy New Year's goods again and again this year, and bought everything, but he did not prepare gifts for the old man and Han Yidao alone. She cursed herself and was going to go out again to see what to buy. Wu Sixian saw that Chen Xu was about to go out again, so he asked, "It's getting dark, do you want to go out again?" Chen Xu is not a person who twists and turns, she said bluntly: "I'm sorry, grandma, I haven't thought of buying New Year's gifts for you and Yidao every day these days, I'm really dizzy." Wu Sixian smiled, "Silly boy, let's buy this and that together every day, and everything is ready." It's redundant to buy anything again, come, let's pick and choose together, see what is suitable as a gift, and don't have to go out of your way to buy it again. Saying that, he pulled Chen Xu to take out all the things he had purchased these days, Chen Xu looked at it, and there was a little red rabbit doll, so he said, "Give this to Yidao, he belongs to the rabbit." The old man nodded in agreement. Chen Xu was inspired by the previous blessing bag to Liu Jingsheng, and also bought a delicate blessing bag of the year's goods, so he took it and handed it to the old man, "Grandma, I borrowed flowers to offer Buddha." Wu Sixian said yes again and again.
