Chapter 55: Expectations

At the insistence of Mr. Wang and his wife, Ji Yuanhai resigned again and responded to the matter.

Mr. Wang is a person who likes elegance, and he didn't talk to Ji Yuanhai about how much money is appropriate, and after seeing Ji Yuanhai agree, he laughed and pulled Ji Yuanhai to see the flowers and plants outside Song Mei.

Ji Yuanhai really doesn't know much about the names of flowers and plants, life characteristics and habits.

Mr. Wang is half an expert in this area - if Ji Yuanhai is really an expert and points out the way he grows flowers and grass, then he may think that Ji Yuanhai has said too much and is not modest enough.

Every time he came to a pot of flowers, Ji Yuanhai just listened silently to his gushing introduction, trying to memorize everything he said, so as not to forget it when he came back next time.

When Mr. Wang finished speaking, he was happy and asked, "Xiao Ji, what do you think?" ”

Ji Yuanhai went up to touch the plant: "I feel that this pot is okay, the sun is a little stronger......"

"Yes, yes, I think so too! I'll just say it's a little wilty for the past two days...... It doesn't work if you water too much, or the summer sun is too poisonous! ”

Mr. Wang thought so, nodded again and again, and even said to the silver-haired woman: "Look at it, Xiao Ji can say everything!" ”

"It has to be Xiao Ji's high ability!"

"Where is it, Elder Wang, your hard work on taking care of flowers and plants, where can I replace it with two words?" Ji Yuanhai didn't take credit at all, and said with a smile.

The more he was like this, the more Mr. Wang looked at him with pleasing eyes.

In particular, as a member of the rural community, he is a young man who is neither humble nor arrogant, even if he is polite and modest, he is also looking at the front with his eyes level and his back straight, rather than a humble and honest ordinary peasant who enters the city.

After looking at the flowers and plants, Mr. Wang invited Ji Yuanhai to sit down and talk.

"Xiao Ji, you just said that you were going to the city to look for a job?"

Ji Yuanhai nodded: "Yes, Elder Wang, I have this idea." ”

"What are you going to do?" Mr. Wang asked.

Ji Yuanhai smiled: "Elder Wang, you really raised me up for what you asked." Now that members are looking for jobs in the city, how can they be picky? If there's a job opportunity, I'll have to go up and try it. ”

Mr. Wang was surprised: "Your ability to grow flowers and grass like this is rare in the entire Qingshan County, why bother to try your luck like this?" ”

"It's not bad to open a flower and bird shop, right?"

Ji Yuanhai organized his language and said, "Well, Elder Wang, I'll tell you the truth, don't laugh at me." ”

"I'm from a rural area, so I don't really have the money to open this kind of shop."

"Besides, the constraints in all aspects are not small now, and it is not so easy for a member to go into the city to open a store and do business."

"One more thing, the problem of walking distance, it's not particularly convenient."

In fact, there is another point, Ji Yuanhai didn't say that when he met Wang Lao, it was because he came to the family home. In fact, in this era, the daily consumption power of a small Qingshan county, it is really hard to say what the flowering bird store will be like.

"That's right...... Quite right. Mr. Wang nodded, repeated, and no longer persuaded him to open a store in the county seat.

He also said: "It's just that you are so young and have a good ability to raise flowers and grass; It would be a pity if it was just odd jobs and coolies. ”

"Xiao Ji, do you have any plans for the future?"

Ji Yuanhai replied: "I plan to study this year and take next year's college entrance examination." ”

"Okay!" Mr. Wang's eyes lit up, and he involuntarily patted the sofa and stood up, "I'll just say that you are pleasing to the eye, you are really a seed of reading and culture!" ”

"Xiao Ji, you take the college entrance examination, that's right!"

"Now that the college entrance examination has resumed, the demand for knowledge and culture in various places is like a long-term drought, and all places attach great importance to this matter."

"If you are admitted to university, all the constraints you just mentioned will not exist for you!"

Seeing him so elated, Ji Yuanhai seemed to have been admitted to the university, so he hurriedly politely and modestly said that this matter was not certain.

Mr. Wang was interested, and said with a smile: "In my opinion, this is certain. Xiao Ji, you are different from others, others can't pass the test, you will definitely be able to pass the test! ”

After speaking, he pulled Ji Yuanhai to speak, and rummaged through the bookcase, saying that he wanted to find some books for Ji Yuanhai that could be used in the college entrance examination.

It's just that his own books have been screened, and there are not many left, and he has searched and searched, but he has not found a suitable one.

It's just that Ji Yuanhai found a world map with a good situation, and let him see and master the knowledge of geography.

After Ji Yuanhai thanked him, he solemnly took it.

Then Mr. Wang left him for lunch, and Ji Yuanhai hurriedly got up to say goodbye.

Mr. Wang's wife handed Ji Yuanhai another handkerchief.

As soon as Ji Yuanhai took it in his hand, he showed a look of surprise.

"This ...... That's too much! ”

"Your skills are worth this!" Wang Lao said, "Besides, this is not a day or two, give you this, and I won't talk to you about this matter for the next three months." ”

"Elder Wang, how can it be once every three months?" Ji Yuanhai said, "There is no reason to give three months in advance......"

Wang Lao waved his hand: "We are all people who love landscapes, flowers and plants, so don't dispute these anymore." ”

"Xiao Ji, I believe in your ability and your character."

"Don't you even have that confidence?"

Ji Yuanhai was finally relieved: "Elder Wang, if you say so, I will accept it politely!" ”

"Your Song Mei, I will definitely help you correct the perfect form, and I will also help you take care of your flowers and plants."

"That's what I'm confident I can do for you!"

"Okay, Xiao Ji!" Mr. Wang sent him to the door, "In addition to my flowers and plants, there is another thing that you must take to heart." ”

"Speak, please." Ji Yuanhai said.

"The remuneration given to you may not make you rich, and you will have no worries about food and clothing for a few months, it is always possible."

Mr. Wang said: "Xiao Ji, don't be in a hurry to make money, study hard and prepare for the college entrance examination." ”

"Knowledge and culture are in the brain, and they are not exchanged; Going to university is also a great opportunity for you. ”

Ji Yuanhai looked at this elegant and flower-loving "nymphomaniac" old man who had been looking for death and life for an orchid, and at this moment his eyes were slightly cloudy with the characteristics of the elderly, and he was not impurified at all with his own advice and concern, full of the expectations of the elders for the younger generations.

"Elder Wang, I remember your advice."

"I will definitely do my best to get into university."

Ji Yuanhai said seriously.

This is not only a promise to Wang Lao, but also a promise to himself.

When he arrived at the guard of the family home, Ji Yuanhai greeted Uncle Dong: "Uncle Dong, I'll take my basket." ”

Uncle Dong suddenly smiled: "Done?" ”

"Well, Uncle Dong, you're done."

"Okay, you didn't trouble me this time!" Uncle Dong said.

Ji Yuanhai asked, "Are you still hot?" Can I help you get another popsicle? ”

"Don't ...... Don't take it, I can't eat too much of this! Uncle Dong said.

"Then I'll get you something else next time." Ji Yuanhai said.

Uncle Dong thought he was playing, but he didn't care, and agreed casually.
