"How much?"

Xiao Hongyi Huo Ran stood up.

"Forty bucks." Ji Yuanhai said, "Sister Hongyi, do you think this price is a bit small?" Why don't we add a little more? ”

"Add what plus!" Xiao Hongyi slapped the table, shaking the wine glass and spilling the wine, "Why are you giving me so much money?" But the days? ”

"Forty dollars, no worker can earn! You give me so much wages, it's not like words! ”

Ji Yuanhai looked at Huo Lianshi with some embarrassment: "Brother Huo, look at Sister Red...... You persuade her. ”

Huo Lianshi said with a calm face: "I persuade her? I'll advise you first! ”

"Yuan Hai, you have been driving with me for a long time, it turned out that you didn't ask us to help, but you saw that I was not having a good time with the red clothes, and you wanted to help us!"

"Even if you want to help us, this forty dollars a month is too much! Let's speak with our conscience, regardless of the purchase, no matter the accounting, no matter what else, just stand there and sell things according to the price like wood, this kind of thing can be done by a ten-year-old child! ”

"Is it appropriate for you to give her forty dollars a month?"

Speaking of this, Huo Lianshi was a little moved, and said a little guiltily: "Since you came to the provincial capital, we haven't been able to help anything. ”

"Now you are helping us like this, this piece of heart...... I feel uncomfortable taking this kind of money with Hongyi, how can I accept your money for no reason? ”

Xiao Hongyi was also moved in his heart: "I have received it with good intentions, this salary is too much, and I can't accept it!" ”

"If you have to pay me so much, then I will have to quit."

Lu Heling persuaded: "Brother Huo, Sister Hongyi, these forty yuan is not too much, the money in my hands with Yuan Hai must be enough......"

"No matter how much money you have, you can't give it to us like this! It's not the same thing. Huo Lianshi said in a deep voice, and Xiao Hongyi also nodded again and again, expressing agreement.

The two of them have the same attitude, if Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling give this salary, then they can only stop doing it.

Ji Yuanhai thought for a moment and said, "Then you say, how much is the right salary?" ”

"It's just to help you, what kind of wages do you want?" Xiao Hongyi said.

Huo Lianshi also said: "Yes, I don't want the salary." ”

Ji Yuanhai shook his head suddenly: "Brother Huo, Sister Hongyi, if you are like this, He Lingke and I will be angry." ”

"How can I ask you to help for no reason? And it's not a day or two, but at least two or three years, or even many years to come, and you won't take a penny? Can we get by in our hearts? ”

Huo Lianshi thought for a moment and said, "Then give a little symbolically, ten yuan, right?" ”

"Now that prices are rising, ten yuan is becoming less and less useful, what can I do?" Ji Yuanhai asked, "Besides, Sister Hongyi is estimated to live here permanently in the future, and it costs money to eat and drink, so you can't afford not to give this money, right?" ”

"He Ling and I treat you as brothers and sisters, you can't treat us like Zhou Papi and think that we are such stingy people, right?"

"We don't think you're stingy, we want to save you money." Huo Lianshi said, "It's not easy for you to make money......"

"Then you're wrong, it's easy for us to make money." Ji Yuanhai said.

Huo Lianshi smiled bitterly: "Yuan Hai, don't raise the bar with me, even if it is easy for you to make money, you have to spend it for a long time, and you can't just be so lavish, otherwise even if there are mountains of gold and silver, you can't keep it." ”

"Besides, I'm really embarrassed to be taken care of by you and Redcoat."

Ji Yuanhai and Huo Lianshi have been grinding back and forth for a few words, but in the end, Yuan Zhonghua said from the inside, so that both of them should not be so dead-eyed.

"There must be wages for work, now those who work as coolies can get two yuan a day, and the apprentices in the factory are nearly twenty yuan, if you want Xiao Ji not to give you money, it is really impossible, what do you eat and drink? Putting money on to help? ”

Yuan Zhonghua persuaded Huo Lianshi and Xiao Hongyi: "You are like this, Xiao Ji and his wife are really not good-looking. ”

"Then twenty dollars, twenty dollars is a lot." Huo Lianshi said.

Yuan Zhonghua also asked Ji Yuanhai to drop some more money, and Huo Lianshi and Xiao Hongyi in the province felt uncomfortable.

"Originally, if you do a good thing, you have to go with good intentions, don't make people uncomfortable for your own kindness."

"It's like rushing to drink to pay the bill, because each other is kind, because I insist on it, but it hurts the harmony."

Yuan Zhonghua's persuasion in this regard is really professional, after Ji Yuanhai and Huo Lianshi heard it, they also felt that they had to consider each other's feelings, don't feel that good intentions must be a good thing, but they seem to have been wronged.

"Thirty bucks, then." Ji Yuanhai said to Huo Lianshi and Xiao Hongyi, "Brother Huo, Sister Hongyi, I hope you don't shirk anymore. ”

"You all need money too, and you can't let Sister Red do it for nothing."

"If it weren't for thinking about this aspect from the beginning, to be honest, I would have wanted to open for far more than forty yuan, and I had already thought about it before opening forty yuan, but I didn't expect you to feel too high."

After Ji Yuanhai finished speaking, Huo Lianshi stood up and toasted Ji Yuanhai with a glass of wine.

"Mother Ye has a spirit in the sky, and she sent me a pair of relatives."

"Yuan Hai, this bar."

After he said this, he looked at Ji Yuanhai with red eyes.

Ji Yuanhai nodded and drank with him.

Xiao Hongyi also stood up, raised his glass to Ji Yuanhai, and looked at Lu Heling.

Lu Heling hurriedly got up as well.

After drinking together, Huo Lianshi and Xiao Hongyi were moved and said a lot.

Ji Yuanhai listened with Lu Heling, Wang Zhuyun, and Yuan Zhonghua.

After drinking for more than an hour, someone knocked on the door outside to buy flowers, and Yuan Zhonghua got up to say goodbye.

Huo Lianshi was drunk in an emotional mood, and Xiao Hongyi took care of him in the back room.

Wang Zhuyun and Lu Heling cleaned up the dinner table.

Ji Yuanhai opened his doors and continued to sell flowers and plants, and at five o'clock in the afternoon, Huo Lianshi woke up and left quite embarrassedly.

Ji Yuanhai handed Xiao Hongyi the key to the shop diagonally and told her that it would take some time for the goods to come, and she would not go to work during this time.

Xiao Hongyi nodded, and reminded Ji Yuanhai by the way: "This period of time can't be counted as wages." ”

Ji Yuanhai had no choice but to agree.

After Huo Lianshi and Xiao Hongyi left, Ji Yuanhai, Lu Heling, and Wang Zhuyun also returned to the provincial university and the provincial university respectively.

When Monday came, Ji Yuanhai returned to his normal study life.

Day after day, in a blink of an eye, it was Thursday, Ji Yuanhai was studying in the dormitory after class and dinner that day, and the counselor came to him and said that someone was looking for him.

Ji Yuanhai asked, and it turned out to be Yan Huifang's eldest sister and a family of three.

They sent a letter to Ji Yuanhai last month, and Ji Yuanhai also wrote a reply at that time, and now they are really here while there is a holiday.

followed the counselor out of the dormitory building, and Ji Yuanhai met Yan Huifang's family of three.

The man was wearing a military uniform, with a Chinese face and tough lines, and after seeing Ji Yuanhai, he stepped forward and shook hands: "Hello Ji Yuanhai, my name is Shi Kaishan, and I am Shi Xiaoyong's father." ”

"Thank you very much for saving our child Shi Xiaoyong in the first place, and you also saved our whole family!"

Ji Yuanhai hurriedly said that you are welcome.

After shaking hands with Shi Kaishan, Ji Yuanhai saw Sister Yan Huifang again, in addition to Shi Xiaoyong, Sister Yan Huifang's stomach bulged again, obviously a new life was being born.

After greeting each other, Shi Kaishan handed a large bag to Ji Yuanhai.

Ji Yuanhai took it and saw that his pocket was full of various food and drink gifts, and he hurriedly thanked: "Brother Shi, you have brought me too many gifts!" I just can't eat so much! ”

"I'll just keep two! You'll have to take the rest! ”

"What does it look like to take it?" Shi Kaishan opened his mouth and refused, "It's not easy for us to have big bags and small bags along the way, you must accept them, just take them to lighten the burden on us!" ”

After Ji Yuanhai pushed him again and again, he had to send this bag of things back to the dormitory first, and then came down to entertain Shi Kaishan and his wife, as well as the doll Shi Xiaoyong.

The counselor didn't leave either, and followed to help talk.

The counselor and Ji Yuanhai led Shi Kaishan and his wife to sit down in the small dining room of the canteen, after all, there must be a place to sit and talk.

After that, it was almost time to eat, and Ji Yuanhai bought food.

"The food in the university cafeteria is not very good, the conditions are really limited, Brother Shi, you will take a look."

"Where is this, there is meat and vegetables, it is already very rich." Shi Kaishan said with a smile.

This time, the couple mainly went home to visit relatives during the holidays, and came to thank Ji Yuanhai when they passed by the provincial capital.

Ji Yuanhai also smiled and said that he had to thank them, otherwise he would not have been rewarded by the school.

The two sides were polite to each other, and they couldn't say anything nasty.

Ji Yuanhai also learned that Shi Kaishan did have some opportunities, because he was favored by the leaders, so his wife's affairs could be reported, and the response of the troops was also very fast.

After eating and talking, Shi Kaishan and his wife had to buy train tickets to go home, and Ji Yuanhai sent them to the train station.

When he arrived at the entrance of the train station, Shi Kaishan solemnly shook hands with Ji Yuanhai: "Xiao Ji, your life-saving grace, our whole family has firmly remembered it in our hearts, and we dare not forget it for the rest of our lives, if there is anything in the future, you must find me." ”

"Whether my ability is enough or not, I will definitely do my best to help!"

Ji Yuanhai nodded: "Brother Shi, I know, you have a good journey." ”

"One more thing, I'll tell you when I get back to the army." Shi Kaishan said, "I'll discuss it with my family when I go back." ”

Ji Yuanhai was stunned for a moment: "Brother Shi, you are-"

"You'll know when the time comes!" Shi Kaishan said, "I also hope that you won't be disgusted when the time comes." ”

Ji Yuanhai said in a deep voice: "Brother Shi, don't think about repaying or anything!" In the future, we have to be friends, we can't always think about this kind of thing, otherwise we won't be friends! ”

"Don't worry, I'm not polite to you, you'll know when the time comes!"

Shi Kaishan said: "I'll discuss it with my family first, and then I'll talk to you." ”

Ji Yuanhai groaned in his heart, thinking to himself what could he discuss with his family?

Gift? Money? None of these aspects need to be discussed.

Otherwise, it is equally impossible.

The soldiers in Shi Kaishan's army can't help Ji Yuanhai too much; Ji Yuanhai is also married, and he doesn't need him to introduce marriage.

Uh, marriage, children...... Could it be ......

"Brother Shi, are you going to let Xiao Yong, a kid, recognize me as a godfather?" Ji Yuanhai asked Shi Kaishan.

Shi Kaishan was suddenly surprised, and then grinned: "College students are college students, and they can see my little tricks at a glance!" ”

"I'm still thinking that I'll discuss it with my parents first, and I'll tell you when the time comes."

Ji Yuanhai thought to himself: The godparents who let the grandparents know are undoubtedly the real and serious godparents.

It's not a joke.

This topic has come to this point, and if you don't catch it, it will hurt your feelings too much.

This is also a choice for Ji Yuanhai: expand his contacts and deepen his friendship with Shi Kaishan, or reject Shi Kaishan, and the friendship between the two sides ends there.

Shi Kaishan looked at Ji Yuanhai expectantly: "Xiao Ji, are you willing?" ”

Ji Yuanhai nodded: "Of course I am willing, I like Shi Xiaoyong's child very much." ”

"That's good, that's good!" Shi Kaishan's face was happy, "To be honest, I don't agree with you either, and I always want to ask you when I'm ready." ”

"I didn't expect that a literate college student like you really doesn't dislike a family like us......"

"Brother Shi, what are you talking about? Your family is a glorious family, and it is up to you to protect your family and defend the country, so how can I dislike it? Ji Yuanhai hurriedly said.

Sister Yan Huifang was also very happy, teasing Shi Xiaoyong, who couldn't speak, and asked him to call Ji Yuanhai "godfather", of course, she couldn't shout, she just stared at her big eyes and giggled.

Ji Yuanhai also smiled: In half a day, there is one more godson, and one more godfather......

Shi Kaishan and Shi Xiaoyong boarded the train and left, and Ji Yuanhai returned to the university to continue his studies.

On Saturday, Ji Yuanhai, Lu Heling, and Wang Zhuyun went to Bird and Flower Street.

Lu Heling and Wang Zhuyun discussed writing and also took time to study.

Xiao Hongyi lived in the shop diagonally opposite, because the goods had not arrived, and they were not open.

However, the owners of the shops on Flower and Bird Street are also well-informed people, and they already know that Hong Jiangtao's shop is in the hands of Ji Yuanhai, and there is another female shopkeeper who is ready to open for business.

Xiao Hongyi was still quite vigilant against outsiders he didn't know, and didn't say much to them.

But after all, many people have seen her and Ji Yuanhai coming and going, so they all speculate that the flowers and plants in the future of Ji Yuanhai may bloom often, instead of two days on weekends.

As soon as they thought of this terrible future, Shan Xing and the others couldn't sit still, shaking their heads and wandering around Fangcao Xuan, always wanting to inquire about some news.
