Chapter 28: Ambition
Ready for 10,000 dollars?
Ji Yuanhai was stunned when he heard this: "Brother Yuan, what do you mean...... Lao Wang's shop, Fangcao Xuan? ”
Yuan Zhonghua nodded: "If Lao Wang continues to be hospitalized, the savings outside should be almost used next week." ”
"When the time comes, if their family is in a hurry to sell the shop, I am afraid that they will be taken advantage of."
"With me here, I can't let people take advantage of the fire to rob, at least give him a fair price."
Ji Yuanhai pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Yuan, I'm not in a hurry to make all the preparations. ”
"It's not easy to raise money, and if it doesn't work, I'm also in a dilemma."
"It's better like this - I still have some money in my hand, if his family really wants to sell, we can negotiate a suitable price, I will give them the money in my hand first, and then make up the balance within a week."
Yuan Zhonghua nodded when he heard this: "What you said is also right!" ”
"I feel that Lao Wang's level is difficult to get through, and if you care, it's messy."
"If his family really wants to sell the house, you can pay a few thousand first, and then you can make up for it later."
Ji Yuanhai bowed his head slightly in agreement.
It was another weekend, and Ji Yuanhai, Lu Heling, and Wang Zhuyun came to Bird and Flower Street again.
When Yuan Zhonghua saw Ji Yuanhai coming, he said, "Fortunately, you didn't prepare in advance!" ”
"That shop should not be sold."
When Ji Yuanhai heard this, he also smiled: "So Lao Wang's illness has actually improved greatly, is it going to be better?" ”
"Good what? As thin as a whipping post! Yuan Zhonghua shook his head, "Their family has accepted the reality, come out of the hospital, and are ready to arrange the funeral for Lao Wang." ”
Ji Yuanhai was stunned for a moment, and his face was also solemn: "That's a pity." ”
"However, with today's medical conditions, there is no way to do it; I hope Lao Wang won't be tortured too much next. ”
Yuan Zhonghua sighed: "Then can it be better?" ”
"Xiao Ji, you come with me to meet Lao Wang, this may be the last time."
Yuan Zhonghua's request was also a bit abrupt, after all, Ji Yuanhai was not too familiar with Lao Wang himself.
However, the Epoch Sea did not postpone.
Yuan Zhonghua and Lao Wang are not bad, he can go over and do his best.
Wang Zhuyun and Lu Heling continued to shop, and Yuan Zhonghua and Ji Yuanhai walked through the two alleys and knocked on the door of a courtyard.
The door was opened by a red-eyed, tired-looking man, about thirty-five or sixteen years old, who was the son of Lao Wang.
"Teacher Yuan is here...... This is ......"
"Your father's business dealings, I heard that your father has been in poor health recently, come and have a look." Yuan Zhonghua said.
"Oh, come in." Lao Wang's son invited them into the house.
The courtyard is filled with the strong smell of Chinese medicine.
Lao Wang's daughter-in-law and grandchildren were there, and his wife was in the house, sitting on the edge of the bed and wiping away tears.
Seeing Yuan Zhonghua coming, Lao Wang's wife hurriedly wiped away her tears: "China is here...... In fact, if you don't use it, this old man is also self-inflicted...... Even if it is burdensome, you will also worry about it. ”
"Don't be polite to me, the neighbors are all as they should be." Yuan Zhonghua stepped forward, "I'll talk to Lao Wang and chat." ”
"I've had a fever for two days, and I don't recognize anyone anymore." Lao Wang's wife couldn't help crying as she spoke.
Yuan Zhonghua and Ji Yuanhai were stunned for a moment.
It's come to this?
took a step forward and shouted Lao Wang twice, the skinny Lao Wang opened his mouth, made a muffled sound, and turned his face away.
Yuan Zhonghua sighed, comforted Lao Wang's wife and son with a few words, left the eggs and malt milk essence gifts he had brought up, and left their house with Ji Yuanhai.
"Xiao Ji, let you be tired and run with me this time." Yuan Zhonghua said.
"Brother Yuan, you're polite." Ji Yuanhai said.
"Lao Wang is very sad at this level." Yuan Zhonghua couldn't help but say it again.
After that, the two slowly walked back to Bird and Flower Street.
Wang Zhuyun and Lu Heling went shopping and bought some things and came back, and after meeting with Ji Yuanhai, the three of them went back to the small courtyard.
After returning to the small courtyard, Ji Yuanhai also saw the things that Lu Heling and the others bought.
In addition to eating and drinking, there are a few cosmetics, and the rest is two pockets of wool.
Ji Yuanhai was surprised and asked what he was buying wool for, it was now past the season of wearing sweaters.
"I'll knit you a scarf and gloves." Wang Zhuyun said, "I will knit a set for you with Heling and let you wear it instead." ”
When Ji Yuanhai heard this, he hurriedly thanked him.
"Thank you so much! I'm so flattered! ”
Wang Zhuyun smiled: "It's good to know, if it weren't for Lotus Ling, you wouldn't have such a big face, and you could still wear the gloves and scarves I knitted!" ”
"Yes, yes, I really want to thank you." Ji Yuanhai said, "I'll cook for you for lunch today!" ”
Wang Zhuyun and Lu Heling both laughed when they heard this.
During the meal, Lu Heling asked if it was possible for Ji Yuanhai to find someone to cooperate with or buy a shop on Bird and Flower Street.
Ji Yuanhai shook his head slightly: "Brother Yuan recommended Lao Wang, I can trust it." ”
"But Lao Wang's current situation is really difficult to recover, and cooperation cannot be discussed; Moreover, the old Wang family should not be in a hurry to use the money now, nor will they sell the shop, so it is impossible. ”
Wang Zhuyun inevitably felt a little regretful when he heard this: "During this period of time, the final conclusion is that this will not work, and that will not work, this time the luck is really a little bad." ”
Ji Yuanhai also agreed: "Maybe I had better luck selling orchids last time, but this time it was a little worse." ”
"But life inevitably has such unsatisfactory things, and we can't force it."
At this time, Lu Heling stopped her chopsticks on the side and asked, "Yuan Hai, do you think you will lose or gain money by buying a shop in the provincial capital now?" Will it be a loss? ”
Ji Yuanhai replied: "If you buy it, it should be considered profitable." ”
"If you buy it and don't do business, will you still make money?" Lu Heling asked.
"Overall, it's actually pretty good." Ji Yuanhai said, "Heling, do you want to find a place to buy it?" ”
Lu Heling nodded: "Yes, Yuan Hai, I do have this idea." ”
"According to Yuanhai, even if we buy it, we don't do business for a while, but we will make money after all; In that case, as long as we have the opportunity to buy it, we must buy it. ”
Ji Yuanhai said: "That being said, we are short of about four thousand yuan; And looking at the flower and bird street, there is no one to sell shops for a while. ”
After hearing this, Lu Heling also frowned slightly.
"There is really no way to do it without a shop."
"As long as there are shops, money is not a problem."
Ji Yuanhai looked at Lu Heling: "Money is not a problem, what do you mean...... Borrow money from your family? ”
"The second uncle and grandfather are always available to help us." Lu Heling said, "I asked once before if they could lend me money if I needed money to do some business. ”
"The second uncle said that he could give me a thousand, or he could lend ten thousand; Grandpa said that he could give 6,000, not to borrow money, but to give it to me directly. ”
When Ji Yuanhai heard this, he couldn't help but feel surprised.
The Lu family is so supportive of Lu Heling, and they have never been greedy to ask about Lu Heling's parents' inheritance, and it can be seen that their intentions are indeed not adulterated.
After being surprised, Ji Yuanhai felt a sense of relief in his heart.
With the more than 10,000 yuan that the Lu family promised to lend and give, Ji Yuanhai did have the confidence to buy a shop at any time; Whenever he had the opportunity, he could decide without hesitation that he would not have to worry about money in a short period of time.
Of course, Ji Yuanhai will not forget that this is Lu Heling's efforts for his own family.
Turning around and holding Lu Heling's hand, Ji Yuanhai said seriously: "Heling, it's hard for you; With your temperament, it must be embarrassing to talk to the old man and the second uncle about borrowing money. ”
Lu Heling's face was slightly red: "Yuan Hai, we were originally husband and wife, two people, and there is no need to say hard work, apologize or anything." ”
"If you want to say thank you, I can't say enough thank you."
Ji Yuanhai's heart was hot when he heard this, and he really couldn't wait to pick up this quiet and lovely girl, get close, and express their joy and feelings for each other.
Wang Zhuyun held his chin, looking at the couple like this, he should be happy, but he didn't know why he couldn't lift his energy.
"You two are so nice." She said lazily.
Ji Yuanhai turned his head speechlessly and looked over: We are very good, but classmate Wang Zhuyun, it is not good for you to be here now.
If it weren't for you, we would have kissed by now.
Seeing that Ji Yuanhai's eyes were a little depressed, Wang Zhuyun was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't help but jump in his heart.
Ji Yuanhai grabbed Lu Heling's wrist, raised it, kissed it on the hand and released it, picked up the chopsticks as if nothing happened, and continued to eat.
"Yikes!" Lu Heling exclaimed, the roots of her ears were slightly red, and she slapped Ji Yuanhai in disgust.
"I'm full!" Wang Zhuyun put down his chopsticks directly and said.
Ji Yuanhai looked puzzled: "Full?" How can you eat so little today? ”
"Just looking at you two will smash me - I'll have to drink more water in a while!" Wang Zhuyun said.
Ji Yuanhai smiled and said nothing.
Lu Heling also smiled embarrassedly: "Zhuyun, let's eat some more." ”
Wang Zhuyun didn't really have any opinions, it was more of a joke, Lu Heling said this, and she talked and laughed with Lu Heling.
In the afternoon, the two sat together, knitting scarves and gloves for Ji Yuanhai, chatting by the way.
By evening, the weaving was not finished, and the three of them went back to school.
After arriving at the school, Bai Chengzhi gave Ji Yuanhai the letter he had just received from Ji Jia and Liu Xianglan today, and also smiled and told Ji Yuanhai about his family.
I really found two things from before, and sold them for a total of 100 yuan, both of which were collected by her daughter-in-law.
With this money, his daughter-in-law finally has a little more leisure to work, and she doesn't have to be confident in everything, and she doesn't have to be so tired.
Ji Yuanhai also congratulated him when he heard this, and he only needed to study with confidence, and he didn't need to think about the rest.
"Squad leader, there's still a month to go." Zhou Heng said, "Are you in the provincial capital during the holidays, or do you want to go back to your county?" ”
Ji Yuanhai said: "There should be more time in the provincial capital. ”
"Go home for six or seven days and reunite with your family, and you will definitely want the New Year."
Zhou Hengxi said: "That's good, I'll look for you to visit the provincial capital during the holidays?" ”
Ji Yuanhai smiled: "I've almost visited the provincial capital with Heling, and I'll go shopping with you again?" ”
When Zhou Heng heard this, he couldn't help but scratch his head: "Haha, squad leader, you two are really good at enjoying it...... If that's the case, let's leave a contact address, and if there is anything delicious and fun at that time, let's go around together. ”
Ji Yuanhai nodded: "Okay, it's okay." ”
Ji Yuanhai and Zhou Heng wrote an address to each other and exchanged them.
Seeing that Bai Chengzhi and Zhao Youtian also came over, they also exchanged addresses with each other.
Zhou Heng had nothing to do, and talked to Ji Yuanhai about Feng Xue.
said that today he saw Feng Xue talking on the phone in the school office, and the teacher poured Feng Xue a cup of hot tea.
"The more I look at her, the more unusual she becomes...... It's a pity, it's a pity. Zhou Heng said regretfully.
Ji Yuanhai also didn't expect it: when Feng Xue came at the beginning, he also felt that this might be a little girl from the capital, a little arrogant, and the family conditions may not be like that.
As a result, it is really such a good family condition.
Feng Xue is the same age as Zhou Heng, both less than eighteen, four or five years younger than Ji Yuanhai.
Feng Xue's sometimes immature performance is actually what she should have as a little girl who has just come to other places; Especially the environment she was in before and the environment she is in now are very different, and the gap between this is not small.
During class on Monday, Professor Zhu came early, smiled and asked Feng Xue if there was anything he didn't understand, and he could help talk about it.
Feng Xue didn't have a cold face with him, but also thought about a question and asked for advice.
After the morning class, when eating at noon, Feng Xue also asked if Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling were going home on vacation.
Ji Yuanhai said that he and Lu Heling should stay in the provincial capital for some time.
Feng Xue had a very surprising idea, asking Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling to go to the capital for a spin, and she introduced some good friends to them.
Ji Yuanhai couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
It is really unnecessary to go to the capital, and it is even more unnecessary to know Feng Xue's friends.
One Feng Xue is enough, and more people in a circle are enough to think about it.
Besides, her circle pays attention to her background and background, isn't it a joke for Ji Yuanhai and his wife to enter the capital? At that time, it is estimated that it will be a situation of being "treated as nothing".
After Ji Yuanhai rejected Feng Xue, Feng Xue really felt a pity.
……………………………………………………
It was another weekend, and Ji Yuanhai, Lu Heling, and Wang Zhuyun gathered in the small courtyard.
"Come and see my craft!" Wang Zhuyun smiled and took out a scarf and gloves.
Ji Yuanhai tried to put it on, felt pretty good, and thanked Wang Zhuyun and accepted it.
Lu Heling also handed her gloves and scarf to Ji Yuanhai.
Wang Zhuyun wears blue and white scarves and gloves, and the wool is slightly thicker.
Lu Heling is a fine hair, black and red.
Ji Yuanhai smiled and tried it on, and also thanked Lu Heling.
The three of them didn't go out to hang out this weekend, sitting together to study Wenshu and prepare for the final exam.
Before you know it, another two weeks have passed.
It was another weekend, and when Ji Yuanhai passed by Bird and Flower Street, he said a few words to Yuan Zhonghua.
After all, Lao Wang couldn't stand it, he had already died, and now he had been buried for half a month.
Lao Wang's shop, his son is ready to take over and continue to work.
According to Yuan Zhonghua, Lao Wang's son was full of ambition, and from then on, Fangcaoxuan not only operated flowers and plants, but also operated birds, strange stones, and cultural antiques.
Ji Yuanhai looked at Yuan Zhonghua's tone of speech, and on the "full of ambition", he obviously had a disoptimistic meaning, and asked: "Brother Yuan, Lao Wang's son ......?"
"If the character is not down-to-earth, that is, the average person." Yuan Zhonghua sighed and said, "I have the heart to help Lao Wang for the last time and help his son on the road to operate normally, but he doesn't believe in me and believes in others." ”
"I feel like I can do anything, and my business can grow bigger."
"That is, Lao Wang didn't hand over the business to him before, if it had been handed over to him earlier, it would have been developed a long time ago!"
Ji Yuanhai listened, and it was difficult to evaluate.
Lao Wang's son wants to say that filial piety must be there, and now there must be someone behind this who wants to make trouble; Otherwise, how could he not believe Yuan Zhonghua?
From the discovery of cancer to his death, Yuan Zhonghua was the most diligent person who walked around his family.
He didn't believe in Yuan Zhonghua, but believed in others.
The so-called ambition is also obviously ambitious......
"Anyway, I was kind enough to persuade me three times." Yuan Zhonghua said with a depressed expression, "Xiao Ji, you said that I was chic; Let's just say that I am such a chic person, no matter who or what I do, I turn around and leave once I don't believe it, I told Lao Wang's son three times. ”
"The more I talk about it, the more this kid feels that I have other plans, what do you say about this?"
"I can only ignore how ambitious he is; Anyway, he is rich and Shen Wansan, and he has nothing to do with me! ”
Ji Yuanhai nodded: "This is also ......"
Yuan Zhonghua wanted to do his best, but Lao Wang's son didn't believe it, but had his own plans, which was also a helpless thing.
On the same day, Wang Zhuyun returned to the provincial university, but Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling did not return to school.
After the spring rhyme in the middle of the night, Lu Heling said that she wanted to go to the Big Buddha Temple early tomorrow morning to worship the Buddha and pray for the blessing of the body.
Ji Yuanhai was surprised: "When did you believe in this set." ”
Lu Heling leaned on his arms and smiled: "If you believe it, you have it, and if you don't believe it, you don't have it." ”
"My willingness to believe in blessings in the dark is not in conflict with my belief in bad luck."
Ji Yuanhai was amused: "You are practical enough!" ”
Early the next morning, the two went to the Big Buddha Temple, and after Lu Heling worshiped the Buddha and offered incense, he spent money to buy four things to protect the body.
When it was close to noon, Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling returned to the small courtyard.
From a distance, I saw Yuan Zhonghua wandering at the entrance of the alley.
"Brother Yuan? Is there something wrong with you? Epoch Marine asked.
Yuan Zhonghua nodded hurriedly, with an anxious expression: "I have something to do with you!" Waited two hours! ”
Ji Yuanhai asked something.
Yuan Zhonghua hurriedly asked, "How much money do you have now?" Is it enough for four thousand? ”
"Enough, but I'll have to go back and get it." Ji Yuanhai said, "Brother Yuan, what's the matter?" Are you in a hurry? ”
Yuan Zhonghua shook his head and sighed: "It's not me, it's the idiot of Lao Wang's son, he was cheated!" ”
"I know that there are not many kind-hearted people in Bird and Flower Street, and they want to eat Lao Wang's inheritance!"
