Early the next morning, Ji Yuanhai went to the Nanshi Street Street Office.

When Deputy Director Cao saw him coming, he smiled all over his face: "Classmate Ji, why do you have time to come to the street office?" ”

"Is there anything we can't do in our work?"

Ji Yuanhai also smiled and said, "Brother Cao, I haven't encountered anything, it's just that there is just one thing, I want to ask you." ”

Deputy Director Cao said, "Well, classmate Ji, you say." ”

"Brother Cao, I heard that there is a flower exhibition in our provincial capital this year, do you have any specific requirements for participating units?"

"If I want to participate in the flower show, should I hang it under the name of the unit of the Nanshi Street Street Office? Or should it be under the name of the district government or the provincial government? ”

Ji Yuanhai asked Deputy Director Cao.

After hearing this, Deputy Director Cao thought about it carefully and said, "The flower exhibition has indeed been notified. Last year, there was a flower exhibition that brought together flowers from several nearby provinces, which was quite successful. ”

"This year is a little different from last year, in addition to our units can participate in the flower show, it is no longer mandatory to participate, individual business units, that is, private can also participate, according to the above, this is called a hundred flowers blooming."

"Classmate Ji, your Fangcaoxuan has a good reputation in the provincial capital, but there is no need to hang it under the name of our unit, just go to register and report, you should be able to participate."

Ji Yuanhai was a little surprised, and then relieved: Yes, the restrictions have been lifted step by step in this regard.

The first session was relatively stiff, and non-units were not allowed to participate; Now we are tentatively moving forward.

"That's great...... Brother Cao, if I don't ask you, I'm still confused, and I don't know what's going on! Ji Yuanhai hurriedly said, "How can I thank you for this?" ”

"Hahahaha, no thanks, classmate Ji, this is all as it should be!"

Deputy Director Cao opened his mouth to speak, and saw a figure outside the door out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly his expression was a little unhappy: "Come in!" What's the matter? ”

Who is hanging around the door like this, unruly?

A woman with a straight stomach and small eyes walked in: "Three...... Director Cao! ”

"Oh, Jianhong, what's the matter?" Deputy Director Cao's face softened significantly.

The small-eyed woman didn't speak, and looked at Ji Yuanhai blankly.

Ji Yuanhai was also slightly surprised: Cao Jianhong?

One of the educated youths who went to the countryside in Xiaoshantun in the past, Cao Jianhong, who was in the same room as Lu Heling.

Deputy Director Cao looked at Cao Jianhong, then at Ji Yuanhai, and saw that something was wrong: "Jianhong, do you know classmate Ji?" Classmate Ji, do you know the daughter of my second brother's family? ”

Cao Jianhong cried out at this time: "Ji Yuanhai, it's really you!" ”

"The last time I met Cheng Weiguo, I heard him say that you and Lu Heling were both admitted to university together! It's really you! ”

To tell the truth, when they were in the production brigade in Xiaoshantun, Ji Yuanhai, Lu Heling and Cao Jianhong didn't get along well, Cao Jianhong was considered the normal situation of some people, and I hoped that Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling would not be good.

Now that they meet again, she has no other emotions than surprise; The Epoch Sea has long since lost its previous disagreement.

Ji Yuanhai just smiled: "Yes, Cao Jianhong, I didn't expect to see you here." ”

He said to Deputy Director Cao: "Brother Cao, is this your niece?" Then we are really fateful, your niece used to go to the countryside to join the team, and it was in our production team. ”

Deputy Director Cao suddenly realized: This is what happened.

But I was even more confused in my heart.

When his niece Cao Jianhong cut the queue, he was just a street clerk, and he couldn't help much, that is, she was able to help her after she returned to the city in the past two years.

However, Cao Jianhong has not said much that the place where he goes to the countryside is poor and the people are poor, and it is a real poor and remote land.

Ji Yuanhai was born in such a poor mountainous area, and now he is well-dressed, wears a watch, and runs a famous flower and herb shop in the provincial capital, Fangcao Xuan, and he doesn't know how much money he makes in a month.

How did this change? It's outrageous, right?

Deputy Director Cao was puzzled in his heart, thinking of the reprimand from his superiors, he immediately suppressed his doubts into his heart.

No matter what the reason is, people are now going up, and they have a big backer in the provincial capital, and of course they are no longer the people who used to be poor and remote; I can only befriend myself, not offend.

Of course, it is inevitable that my heart will be sour, and I will covet this lucky boy.

"Yes! Mr. Ji, this is really fateful! Deputy Director Cao smiled and said to Ji Yuanhai, "My niece and you know you before, I know you later, or two or three hundred miles away, we can all meet together, this fate is really not shallow!" ”

"Jianhong, our family will have to contact Classmate Ji more in the future!"

Cao Jianhong also nodded hurriedly - in fact, the time Cheng Weiguo met her, after the two of them talked about Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling, they were both sour, seeing that two rural households were admitted to university, and they were assigned to formal units in the future, how could they not be sour?

In addition to sour, she also said to Cheng Weiguo: If only she hadn't offended Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling at the beginning!

If they hadn't offended them at the beginning, Cao Jianhong and Cheng Weiguo would be good friends with them now, and in the future, they could only enjoy the benefits and not suffer losses.

Of course, Ji Yuanhai and Cao Jianhong have no friendship.

This small-eyed, pregnant woman is just an ordinary person, not very noble.

However, looking at Deputy Director Cao's good face, Ji Yuanhai still smiled and agreed: "Brother Cao, Cao Jianhong, we are all acquaintances, and we will often come and go in the future." ”

"Yes, yes, I will come and go in the future!"

Deputy Director Cao and Cao Jianhong both hurriedly said.

After Ji Yuanhai left, Deputy Director Cao asked Cao Jianhong: "This Ji Yuanhai used to be rural?" ”

"Yes, Third Uncle!" Cao Jianhong sighed with emotion, "I really didn't expect that he would be able to mix in the provincial capital one day!" I thought he would have to work in the fields all his life! ”

Deputy Director Cao said in his heart: This is the way of luck.

A young man from a poor village can also enter the house when he meets a nobleman......

Cao Jianhong asked Deputy Director Cao again: "Third uncle, didn't he go to school?" Why did you come here in our street? What is there to do? ”

Deputy Director Cao explained: "Not only does he go to school, but there are also two shops open on this side of Flower and Bird Street. ”

"Huh?"

Cao Jianhong was taken aback: "How much does this cost!" Where did he get all this money? ”

Deputy Director Cao said: "This is not what we should ask!" Anyway, he knows people who are much taller than me. ”

"That'...... Third Uncle ......"

Cao Jianhong asked again, but Deputy Director Cao hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's working time, don't be a third uncle!" ”

"Let's go home and talk about something."

"Okay, third uncle!"

…………………………………………

Leaving the Nanshi Street Street Office, Ji Yuanhai went to the exhibition center and asked about signing up for flowers and plants.

After a year, Ji Yuanhai met Brother Niu who worked at the exhibition center again.

He had a good impression of this enthusiastic and detailed Niu Ge, who still had memories of him, and asked him how he was studying now.

The two talked for a while, and after catching up with the past, Ji Yuanhai asked Brother Niu about this year's flower show.

Brother Niu and him, an "acquaintance", did not hide it, and directly told Ji Yuanhai the place where he signed up.

Ji Yuanhai went to the place where he registered, but he didn't say that he would not be allowed to sign up, but asked him to bring his business license and confirm his qualifications.

Ji Yuanhai returned to Fangcao Xuan, took the business license, and determined the preparations for the exhibition a few days before the exhibition, as well as the varieties of flowers to be exhibited - one or two items can be added temporarily, and it cannot exceed the exhibition division area, it cannot be reduced, and it cannot be without.

Others are less demanding.

After all, the private sector does not have a lot of experience in organizing such activities.

Ji Yuanhai returned to Fangcao Xuan, everything was packed, and he closed the door with Lu Heling and Wang Zhuyun and prepared to leave with his things.

"Yuan Hai, be careful on your way!" Huo Lianshi greeted.

Xiao Hongyi said: "Don't worry, these two shops and that courtyard, we will take care of them, and there will never be anything." ”

Ji Yuanhai beckoned to them.

Then the three of them walked out along Bird and Flower Street.

"Boss Xiaoji, is this closing?"

"Well, Brother Guan, go home and rest for a few days."

Ji Yuanhai greeted Brother Guan and other shop owners.

Shan Xing was full of joy that could not be concealed, carrying the Cantonese-speaking starling, and escorting the three of Ji Yuanhai all the way to the intersection of Bird and Flower Street, which made the three of Ji Yuanhai and Yuan Zhonghua laugh.

This person can be regarded as putting all the abacus on his face.

"Shanxing, why don't you send Xiao Ji to the train station?" Yuan Zhonghua asked with a smile.

"No, no, I still have something to do...... Yamayuki said.

"Oh, I think you're pretty idle." Yuan Zhonghua said.

Shan Xing also thickened his cheeks: "I fell in love with Boss Xiao Ji too much, and I couldn't help but send a paragraph." ”

"Boss Xiaoji, you have a good trip, I still have something to do, so I won't send more!"

Ji Yuanhai was also too lazy to bother with him, and nodded his head in thanks.

"Brother Yuan, goodbye."

Ji Yuanhai said to Yuan Zhonghua.

Yuan Zhonghua smiled: "But if you come back in one or twenty days, do you still need to say goodbye?" Let's go. ”

Ji Yuanhai smiled and was about to leave, when an old woman came over.

"Teacher Yuan, you know a lot, what do you think this thing is?"

Yuan Zhonghua glanced at it, and the old woman was holding a pile of black peanuts and rice-sized things in her hand.

"Aunt Zou, what are you taking? Peanuts burned? ”

"It's not...... It's my old man digging things, and the pile of things he dug up looks like it's been around for years. Aunt Zou said, "Look at it, can it be worth it?" ”

Yuan Zhonghua took it and looked at it carefully, sniffed the smell of earth on it, and looked at Aunt Zou: "It's really dug out!" ”

"yes, it's an old thing, right?"

Yuan Zhonghua shook his head: "I really didn't see it...... It's not like iron, it's not like ceramic, it's not gold or silver...... Aunt Zou, I feel like it might be the pine nuts or other hard-shelled things from before. ”

"Hey!" Aunt Zou said disappointedly, "I weighed it in my hand, and it didn't feel like it was before, so the old man had to ask me." ”

Yuan Zhonghua said: "Aunt Zou, I may not be able to see it accurately, do you want to go to the Flower and Bird Street anymore to have a look?" ”

Aunt Zou shook her head: "It's in vain, they just know how to ask for money, how can you be reliable?" ”

Ji Yuanhai was about to leave, but when he saw this scene, he stopped and walked over again.

"Auntie! Can you show me what you have in your hand? ”

Aunt Zou was suddenly overjoyed: "Young man, do you know this?" ”

Is there still a chance to sell for some money?

"I don't understand this, but I understand flowers and plants." Ji Yuanhai said, "I looked at this handful in your hand, like some flower and plant seed left from before. ”

When Aunt Zou heard this, her face suddenly collapsed.

This handful of things, if it is an antique, may still be valuable.

If the seeds of flowers and plants left in the past must be dead, they will definitely be worthless.

Yuan Zhonghua nodded: "I feel the same." ”

Aunt Zou looked at it for a moment and said, "I look at it too......"

took out one and asked Yuan Zhonghua to pry it open with a hammer, revealing something white inside, Aunt Zou was completely disappointed: "It's lotus seeds!" ”

Ji Yuanhai smiled: "Really, auntie, sell me these lotus seeds, right?" I looked strange. ”

Aunt Zou was a little embarrassed: she didn't dare to believe too much in other people's words before, but they turned out to be true.

Just these lotus seeds, add up to almost a lotus shower head.

This thing doesn't even cost two cents, how can you ask for money?

Stuffing these burnt peanut-like lotus seeds into Ji Yuanhai's hand, Aunt Zou said: "So a few lotus seeds, just taste the taste, what kind of money do you want?" ”

Ji Yuanhai hurriedly said: "Auntie, I don't want to eat, I want to see if I can grow this lotus." ”

"Give you seed money, too."

Aunt Zou hesitated a little and looked at Yuan Zhonghua.

Yuan Zhonghua said with a smile: "Xiao Ji, Aunt Zou is not an outsider, they are all old neighbors nearby. ”

"Give me a dollar."

Aunt Zou was pleasantly surprised: "Can you have a dollar?" ”

was a little uneasy: "Just these few lotus seeds, how can you get a dollar?" Why don't you give me five cents? ”

Ji Yuanhai took out a dollar and handed it to her, and Aunt Zou took it with joy and hurried home.

A few lotus seeds can be sold for a dollar, which is obviously earned.

Ji Yuanhai didn't feel at a loss - the life of these lotus seeds was already extremely weak, and looking at the appearance of the skin, they were dug out of the soil again, at least for more than a hundred years.

If these lotus varieties that are more than 100 years old are spurred out, and then sold when the time comes, the money will not be too small.

This is what the Era Sea can do.

Even if you are a plant expert, there is nothing you can do when you encounter these lotus seeds whose life is already weak and destined to fail to germinate.

It's not that the ancient lotus has not been reproduced, but each one is reproduced because the lotus seeds are well preserved; For example, these lotus seeds in Ji Yuanhai's hands, if they were replaced by others, it would be absolutely impossible to cultivate the ancient lotus flowers.

In addition, after the reappearance of the ancient lotus flowers, they are basically carefully protected in botanical gardens in various places, and sometimes they are used as friendly gifts between countries, and rarely enter private hands.

At the same time as the lotus seed started, Ji Yuanhai already had an idea in his heart.

Isn't this a rare kind of strange flower?

…………………………………………

I bought tickets at the train station, and Ji Yuanhai, Lu Heling, and Wang Zhuyun took the train home.

When he arrived in Qingshan County the next day, Wang Zhuyun naturally wanted to go home for a few days.

Before leaving, Ji Yuanhai specially told Wang Zhuyun: There are a lot of idle people in society now, don't go to a remote place to relax after being angry.

Even if you get angry with your family, go to the flower shop to find Liu Xianglan and Ji Yuanhai, and go to the family home to find Wang Lao, you can't mess around.

"Got it, got it!"

Wang Zhuyun beckoned and said with a smile, sweet in his heart.

After Wang Zhuyun left, Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling also went to Liu Xianglan's flower shop.

As soon as they met, Liu Xianglan couldn't help but wipe her tears with red eyes - she didn't know why, she hadn't seen Ji Yuanhai for a long time, and she wanted to cry when she met.

That night, Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling lived in the home of Liu Xianglan's mother and daughter.

Originally, it was also a small courtyard specially bought in Tuanjie Alley, and it was a safe and rarely talkative neighbor, even Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling lived in, and no one paid attention to it.

The gifts I bought were given to Liu Xianglan's mother and daughter as soon as they met, including clothes, delicious food, toys, and a watch for Liu Xianglan.

After dinner, Lu Heling handed Liu Xianglan the blessing objects asked for by the Big Buddha Temple, and Liu Xianglan's eyes were shining.

After that, I was a little confused and embarrassed.

He Ling is so considerate and takes care of me so much.

"Heling, I'...... I can't say anything, I'll toast you. ”

Liu Xianglan held a wine glass and toasted Lu Heling.

Later, taking advantage of the wine, she blushed and said: "I am relatively old in terms of age, in fact, I am young, and you are big." ”

"In the future, if anyone treats you badly, they have to pass me first!"

As she spoke, Liu Xianglan drank another glass of wine to express her firm determination.

After eating, Lu Heling led Wang Xiaohong to sleep next door, chatted with her, played with toys for a while, and she fell asleep.

There was a loud creaking sound from the next room, and Lu Heling's heart suddenly became hot.

The quality of this bed is also not good.

Then I thought of Ji Yuanhai's body that seemed to contain infinite strength, and Liu Xianglan's plump appearance, which I hadn't seen for a long time...... That's normal.

It's just that it's difficult for Lu Heling, I can't eat it alone, and I often feel embarrassed, and now I feel a little bit like I can't eat, I tossed and turned for a long time, closed my eyes slightly, and then opened my eyes until dawn.

Just as he was about to get up, he suddenly heard the creaking sound next door, like a loom running continuously, Lu Heling opened her mouth slightly in surprise.

Still there?

It's also too ......

Sister Xianglan is amazing!

Lu Heling led Wang Xiaohong out for breakfast, and then walked around the county again.

As Ji Yuanhai said, there are really a lot of idle people in society, and there are always a few scolding men on the street, and you can't go to remote places.
