"Well, it's a good thing that business can be so good."

Ji Yuanhai said: "I'll take Xiaohong back today, so you don't have to worry." ”

Liu Xianglan nodded in response.

Ji Yuanhai asked again, "When will you go back?" From the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve to the second day of the junior high school, there are few businesses in the county town that do business, so it is better to go back these days. ”

Liu Xianglan was a little reluctant: "Those flowers are also a lot of money, what should I do if they freeze?" ”

"If you don't delay it for two or three days, even if it's frostbite, I'll find a way to save it when I go back." Ji Yuanhai said.

Liu Xianglan hesitated, and also considered that there was indeed no business in those two days, so she nodded: "Okay, I will go back to Xiaoshantun on the thirtieth day; If there are really flowers and plants that are frozen, Yuan Hai, you have to save them, don't lose so much money. ”

After saying this, another business came to the door, and Liu Xianglan began to get busy.

Ji Yuanhai picked up a pot of orchids from the house, wrapped them in thick clothes, greeted Liu Xianglan, and walked towards the county family courtyard.

On the way, I bought two snacks and fruits and two bottles of wine.

Today, I simply took away some of the etiquette of the New Year.

When he arrived at the gate of the county family courtyard, he saw Uncle Zhao parking his car to sell roasted sweet potatoes from a distance, Ji Yuanhai smiled and handed him a bottle of dim sum fruit and a bottle of wine: "Uncle, you have a good New Year!" I'll give you an early New Year's greeting! ”

Uncle Zhao glared at him: "You kid is really blind, just like you, am I still in business?" ”

Ji Yuanhai smiled: "It's all like me, you just let us make offerings, isn't it good?" ”

"It's good, it's good!"

In the end, Uncle Zhao took Ji Yuanhai's New Year's gift, took out the largest roasted sweet potato and handed it to Ji Yuanhai.

Ji Yuanhai hurriedly waved his hand: "It's too big, I don't like to eat this?" ”

"Nonsense, how can anyone not like roasted sweet potatoes?" Uncle Zhao glared and stuffed the roasted sweet potato forward.

"That's too big, can you change it for me?" Ji Yuanhai said.

Uncle Zhao smiled: "You kid, there are a lot of things!" ”

In the end, he listened to Ji Yuanhai, and took a small sweet potato and stuffed it to him.

Ji Yuanhai ate sweet potatoes, talked to him, and asked how the business was.

Then he went to the doorman of the family courtyard and stuffed the wine and snacks and fruits to Uncle Dong.

Uncle Dong also pushed him for a while, and finally accepted it.

Seeing that he also hugged a pot of things, he asked: "This is for ......"

"Give Wang Lao a flower, he likes this."

Ji Yuanhai said hello after speaking, and entered the family courtyard with the flowers.

Uncle Dong shook his head: What is the use of not being able to eat or drink? People still like that.

After entering Wang's house, Aunt Wu, the nanny, greeted her at the door, but Mr. Wang and Grandma Yuan did not come out to speak.

Ji Yuanhai walked into the house and took a look, only to see Mr. Wang, Grandma Yuan, and Wang Wenbo.

The house is particularly warm, which can meet the needs of Mr. Wang's flowers and plants, and can also meet the thermal insulation needs of the old couple - people are old and weak, it is difficult to keep hot, and it is cold to cover two quilts in winter.

It's just that at this moment, the atmosphere in the room is not warm at all, and it is even cold to freezing.

"You bring Xiaoyun back for me!" Mr. Wang shouted.

"Dad, you really don't need to look for it - during the summer vacation this year, she ran out with me angrily, and Wen Li and I were frightened at that time, so we didn't care about taking care of Zhuqing, so we went to find her." Wang Wenbo said, "As a result, she lived in a high school classmate's house." ”

"You just asked me to find it, what if I find it? This kid has a bad temper and is specifically working against me, and I just found it, that is, to let her classmates' families see jokes. ”

Mr. Wang slapped the table and shouted, "You have to find it for me!" You get Xiaoyun back for me! ”

"This cold day, the New Year! Do you leave your child alone outside? ”

"Can she celebrate the New Year with her classmates and family? Wang Wenbo, you bastard, if you don't get my granddaughter back, I'm not done with you! ”

Ji Yuanhai held the orchid and listened to it.

Things sound very simple, Mr. Wang's grandson Queen Zhuyun, this is also the time for the winter vacation for the New Year, and then the relationship with Wang Wenbo's father and daughter is not very good, so there is a situation like this, and he is angry to live in the same school.

Then Mr. Wang couldn't rest assured, but Wang Wenbo felt that he couldn't bow his head to his daughter and say soft words, so he simply didn't look for his daughter.

And so it became.

Whether it is out of an emotional position or out of rational analysis, Ji Yuanhai is on the side of Mr. Wang and Wang Zhuyun - Mr. Wang helped him when he needed help the most, Wang Zhuyun gave him a bicycle, Ji Yuanhai didn't feel that Wang Zhuyun was a stubborn girl, Wang Wenbo's accusation was obviously only from his own point of view.

And Wang Wenbo's situation Ji Yuanhai doesn't know much, just the general impression that Mr. Wang said, two or three percent of the approximate content, he already knows that he has been a person who is in a hurry to achieve success and pursues interests in the past ten years, and now he is demanding a good reputation.

To put it simply, his standards of interest are quite high, and the real moral standards are not easy to say.

Now during the Chinese New Year, Wang Zhuyun ran away angrily, but he could really resist looking for it.

It's because there was a similar situation during the summer vacation.

Summer and winter are not the same at all, and as the Chinese New Year approaches, most families will not be happy to entertain guests.

Mr. Wang was annoyed, Wang Wenbo tried his best to "explain", and at the same time told Mr. Wang that Wang Zhuyun would definitely be fine, but he had a bad temper and ran out.

Although the father and son did not quarrel, Mr. Wang asked him to find Wang Zhuyun, but he just refused to do it, and the angry Mr. Wang gradually did not choose to speak, and it was difficult to keep calm anymore.

"Is Xiaoyun stubborn in temper, or are you and Li Wenli not pleasing to Xiaoyun?"

"You only have your own son in sight now, right?"

Wang Wenbo stood up: "Dad, what you said is really unfair to Wen Li and Zhu Qing. ”

"Wen Li has been married to me for ten years, and Zhuqing is also your grandson, and he is six years old this year."

"What bias do we have? I ask my family to be thrifty and not publicity, Wen Li fully supports me, but Xiaoyun doesn't understand my difficulties at all-"

"Yes, yes!" Mr. Wang sneered, "Xiaoyun is against you, and I am against you too!" You've got to recognize that we're both bad guys, and you're the good guys! ”

Wang Wenbo shook his head: "Dad...... Are you ...... Forget it, I won't tell you, I still have something to do, go back first! ”

"You stop me, you come back to me! Xiaoyun, you have to pick me up! ”

In Mr. Wang's roar, Wang Wenbo didn't seem to hear it and walked away.

"Elder Wang, you are smooth."

Ji Yuanhai put down the flower pot in his hand and said.

Mr. Wang nodded to him tiredly and gestured to say hello.

Grandma Yuan sighed and said, "Xiao Ji, I'm letting you see the joke again...... This little thing in the family can't be clean. ”

Ji Yuanhai hurriedly comforted the two old men.

After Mr. Wang was relieved, Ji Yuanhai asked Wang Zhuyun why he didn't come to Mr. Wang's place since he was not at home. Either way, it's much more comfortable here than outside.

"If his father can find him, she won't come......," Grandma Yuan said, "She has been here before, but when his father comes, what can we do?" can only talk about his father, persuade her, and let his father take her away. ”

"Then she stopped coming to us."

Speaking of this, Grandma Yuan couldn't help wiping away her tears, obviously feeling very sorry for Wang Zhuyun.

Mr. Wang scolded Wang Wenbo angrily, but he was helpless after all: "It's really not good, I'll let Xiao Wu ride a bicycle and help find it; Seeing that there are still a few days left for the Chinese New Year, how can you let your child be homeless outside like this? ”

Ji Yuanhai said: "Don't worry, Aunt Wu is also over fifty years old, and it is not a way to let her go out to find it on this cold day." ”

"You tell me a rough range, I'll ride my bike and find it."

"Xiao Ji, how can that work? It's too much trouble for you, you are a guest after all. Mr. Wang said embarrassedly.

Ji Yuanhai smiled: "Why not? ”

"Elder Wang, let's not talk about our friendship, classmate Wang lent me books for me to review, I have to admit this matter."

"How can I not help if she has something?"

Mr. Wang hesitated: "That...... Xiao Ji, please go to the Unity Alley to find it. ”

"I remember Zhuyun said that one of her female classmates was the daughter of a worker in the county cotton mill, and she probably lived on the other side of Tuanjie Alley."

Ji Yuanhai nodded: "Eighty percent is the Unity Alley, and most of the iron rice bowl workers in Qingshan County live in that alley." ”

"Elder Wang, I'll go now."

"The orchid I brought you, you can see if it's good, don't freeze to death!"

After Ji Yuanhai finished speaking, he got on his bicycle and left in a hurry.

After he left, Grandma Yuan wiped her eyes again: "This kid is so good, just like when Wenbo was young and obedient......"

"Don't mention that bastard to me!" Mr. Wang said angrily, "Xiao Ji, is ten times better than him, a hundred times better!" ”

"Anyway, Xiao Ji is a good boy, he has a hard time in the countryside, and we must help in the future." Grandma Yuan said, "It's a pity that Wenbo is not a few years ago, otherwise it would be okay to get him a job in a unit." ”

Mr. Wang shook his head and said: "There is no need for this, Xiao Ji's cultural level is not bad, he goes to college in a dignified manner, and his future is bright and unlimited." ”

"It's not a good thing to arrange for him in advance."

"Besides, he is still thinking about the care we give him, and always wants to give us back favors - this kid doesn't want to owe anything to others, so we arrange it for him, and he can't accept it."

As he spoke, he lifted the clothes covering the flowers, and Mr. Wang was stunned.

looked around the flower pot carefully, and even sensed the touch of the branches and leaves with his hands, the touch of the soil, and finally muttered: "This Xiao Ji, this Xiao Ji...... I knew ......"

"What's wrong?" Grandma Yuan asked.

"This is Long Changsu! Long Changsu, who was praised by the national leaders! Fantastic condition! Mr. Wang said.

Grandma Yuan still didn't quite understand: "This means ......"

"This pot of excellent orchid masterpieces, the little kindness we took care of Xiao Ji before has actually been repaid." Mr. Wang said, "Today, Xiao Ji helped us find Xiaoyun again......

"From now on, it's not that we help Xiao Ji, but that we owe Xiao Ji a favor and want to repay his favor."

After hearing this, Grandma Yuan also sighed: "This Xiao Ji is also too polite. ”

"Obviously, we all took what we needed before, and it was normal for him to treat the flowers and plants, but he kept saying that he had accepted our favor and help."

"Perhaps, he was really short of a sum of money at that time, and we just happened to give it again." Mr. Wang said, "All in all, from now on, we owe him a favor, but we can't let him be polite!" ”

After speaking, he glanced at the Longchang Su Orchid, and Mr. Wang looked outside again.

I'm not in the mood to enjoy the flowers right now.

owes Xiao Ji a favor, and make up for it in the future, which is also secondary.

Xiaoyun, don't let anything happen.

…………………………………………

Riding a bicycle out of the family courtyard and saying hello to Uncle Zhao, Ji Yuanhai went straight to Unity Alley.

In Wang Zhuyun's situation, there are really not many other places to go in Qingshan County, except for the family home, that is, Unity Alley.

Her classmates are a little poorer, and it is impossible for her to entertain her classmates for a period of time.

At least the family has to be a regular worker.

Even so, now that the New Year is approaching, it is not necessarily that people will leave Wang Zhuyun behind.

When he arrived at Unity Alley, Ji Yuanhai inquired about where the employees of the cotton mill lived.

Then ask if there is a college student who has been admitted to college.

At this point, no one had heard that the sons and daughters of the cotton mill workers had college students.

Wang Zhuyun was looking for a high school classmate, but he didn't get admitted to college?

It's hard to ask.

Ji Yuanhai asked for a while, every family was busy with the New Year, and there were really not many people who were willing to stop and talk well.

Until an old man saw him: "Are you still helping to look at the flowers and plants?" Check it out at my house! ”

Ji Yuanhai turned his head and looked, it turned out that it was in autumn, when he came to unite the alley to watch the flowers and plants and earn two yuan, that Uncle Li.

This Uncle Li bought a pot of welcome pine, but he was also not raised by Gao Daming, and he didn't know how to replace it with unsuitable soil.

It was Ji Yuanhai who found out the reason, and Uncle Li changed the soil of the welcome pine by himself.

Ji Yuanhai's impression of Uncle Li is that he has a very strange temper, but he has no bad intentions.

"Uncle, I'm not here to see the flowers and plants today, I'm here to find someone!"

Uncle Li was a little disappointed: "Huh? Get? ”

"Tell me who you're looking for, I know them all here."

Ji Yuanhai told Wang Zhuyun about the general situation, and Uncle Li muttered in his mouth: "A female college student, in her early twenties this year, with two short pigtails, came to borrow ...... from her classmates."

"Why don't I have any impressions? Is this girl handsome? ”

"It's pretty handsome." Ji Yuanhai said.

"There was such a girl who walked out of our unity alley yesterday evening, and her duffel bag was different from the usual ones, not two short pigtails, and black glasses around her neck."

"The clothes are different from ours."

"I thought it was a foreigner, but when I looked closely, I could see that it was Chinese."

Uncle Li described.

Ji Yuanhai is a little unsure - is this Wang Zhuyun?

"Uncle, can you tell me about the general situation?"

Uncle Li said that the woman with a duffel bag and black glasses did come out of a cotton mill.

The daughter of that family used to go to high school, but she didn't pass the college entrance examination this year, and she is not allowed to prepare for the exam next year.

"You're familiar with this place! You know it all right! Ji Yuanhai gave a thumbs up and praised Uncle Li.

Uncle Li laughed, but was modest.

Ji Yuanhai has basically determined, and what Uncle Li described is Wang Zhuyun.

Although I don't know why her image has changed greatly, but after thinking about it carefully, now that the spring breeze is ready to go, she is a college student in a provincial city, and it is not surprising that her image has changed and is at the forefront of the trend.

asked Uncle Li where Wang Zhuyun went, Uncle Li didn't know, only knew that she left Unity Alley yesterday evening.

Ji Yuanhai asked for the address of the cotton mill and knocked on the door to ask.

The family had obviously broken off the idea of letting their daughter study, and they didn't know much about Wang Zhuyun's family situation, so when they heard Ji Yuanhai inquire about Wang Zhuyun, they were a little angry.

"I don't know, I left yesterday!"

At very different times, it is inevitable to do something extraordinary, and Ji Yuanhai immediately opened his mouth to move out of Wang Zhuyun's father's name, so that their family could recall the details.

At this moment, everyone in this family was frightened.

"She didn't say that she was the daughter of the county leader, if you had known, it was too late for our family to welcome, how could we drive her out?"

The family said aggrievedly.

Wang Zhuyun's classmates also said: "Zhuyun has always told me that her father is a worker in the county, and I really don't know that she is such a family." ”

"Don't talk about that yet! Wang Zhuyun said that he didn't say who to go to? Ji Yuanhai directly interrupted their emotion.

"I really don't know." Wang Zhuyun's classmate said, "That's what she told me at the time, she said that she came to stay with me for a few days, and since it was inconvenient for me here, she went home." ”

"So where might she go?" Ji Yuanhai asked.

Wang Zhuyun's classmates were a little dazed: "I can't guess ...... this"

"Let's talk about a few places, the places she used to like to go in the county, and the places she might go when she was unhappy." Ji Yuanhai inquired.

Wang Zhuyun's classmates were forced by him to think for a while, and even said where they liked to go to school when they went to school.

also said the address of another classmate that Wang Zhuyun might borrow.

Later, Ji Yuanhai saw that she really couldn't think of more, so he got on his bicycle and left in a hurry.

When I went to the address of another classmate and asked, Wang Zhuyun had never been here at all.

I went to a few more places where Wang Zhuyun used to go, but he also never went.

Ji Yuanhai knew that things might get a little worse.

Wang Zhuyun shouldn't choose to spend the night outside alone, right?

On such a cold day, there are many bad actors who steal at the end of the year, and if she chooses this way, it will be really bad.

With such worries in mind, Ji Yuanhai went to the last place.

Qingshan County High School when Wang Zhuyun went to school.

After inquiring with the doorman, Wang Zhuyun was carrying a duffel bag in the morning and did pass by here.

Later, I took a detour to the mountain behind the school.

Ji Yuanhai breathed a sigh of relief: it seems that nothing happened from yesterday evening to this morning.

As for the upper back mountain...... Probably nothing will happen, right?
