12 Chapter 12

After lunch, Xie mentioned that he wanted to buy some greenery and asked Chi Qingtai if he had time to accompany him to the flower market.

This is not an excessive request, and New Year's Day is approaching, Chi Qingtai is ready to buy flowers to decorate his mother's ward, so he agreed to the trip.

The flower market is some distance from the apartment, and the two of them packed up and set off quickly. This time, Xie Shuyun did not drive a sports car, but chose a Mercedes-Benz big G, and Chi Qingtai guessed that he was to facilitate the transportation of plants.

"Chi Qingtai?" Before getting into the car, Chi Qingtai suddenly heard a voice.

Chi Qingtai turned around and saw a familiar face, it was Zhou Yugui, who was taken as a role model by Chi Renqiang.

"It's been a long time, I almost didn't dare to recognize it when I saw it just now, it turned out to be really you!" Zhou Yugui walked over to him and said warmly, "Why did you come here today?" Have time to sit with me? ”

Chi Qingtai had a mediocre relationship with him, but he was not a complete stranger, and he refused: "If you want to go out, you won't bother." ”

"It's okay, come over anytime you have time!" Zhou Yugui waved at Chi Qingtai, "I wanted to call you for a birthday party last time, but I'm afraid that you think we're all playing coffee and don't want to get along." ”

Chi Qingtai is a leader among the young people of his generation, and he really doesn't interact much with this kind of rich second generation, but he doesn't lose face on the spot, just said: "No, it's just that I'm busy with work." ”

"Then it's decided," Zhou Yugui waved at him, "I'll call you next time I have a party." ”

As if to increase the attractiveness, Zhou Yugui added: "Let me tell you a secret, I heard that the eldest son of the richest man in the Xie family also lives in our community." ”

Chi Qingtai raised his eyebrows: "Xie family's son?" ”

"It's Xie Shuyun," talking about the gossip of the wealthy family, everyone had the same excited expression, "The most expensive penthouse duplex flat in our community was bought by him, and Xie Dashao lived here after returning to China." ”

Chi Qingtai: "I know. ”

Zhou Yugui sighed a little: "I also heard that he has a party at home every day, men and women are not taboo, and he has a very messy play." ”

Finding that Chi Qingtai's expression was a little subtle, Zhou Yugui hurriedly added: "Of course, our party must be regular, and there are no messy things." ”

After Zhou Yugui finished speaking, the person who found the driver's seat seemed to glance at him. At first, he thought that this was Chi Qingtai's driver, but when he looked at that face, he found that he was wrong, no driver has such a handsome face and such a powerful aura.

It's just that why does this man keep staring at him? It's weird and panicked.

"This is ......" Zhou Yugui was a little apprehensive and asked Chi Qingtai on the side.

Chi Qingtai: "He is Xie Shuyun, who lives in the top floor duplex large flat." ”

Zhou Yugui: ?

In the shocked eyes of the other party, Chi Qingtai added: "Also, I am married to him." ”

Zhou Yugui: ???

Chi Qingtai closed the door and got into the car, and the Mercedes-Benz big G drove out of the garage, leaving Zhou Yugui stunned.

There was silence on the way to the flower market.

Chi Qingtai didn't intend to apologize for anyone, after all, the bad words were said by Zhou Yugui, not him.

Xie Shuyun wanted to explain, but he waited all the way for Chi Qingtai and didn't ask, if he spoke again, it would be too much, so he didn't speak again.

In silence, Mercedes stopped in a somewhat dilapidated parking lot, and the flower market arrived.

Approaching the end of the year, the flower market is full of people.

Fortunately, Chi Qingtai wore a black feather long velvet jacket today, and he wrapped it so tightly that it would not be too uncomfortable to occasionally pass by others.

Chi Qingtai wants to find flowering plants, preferably with a long flowering period, Xie Shuyan also has his own goals, and the two of them dispersed as they walked.

It didn't take long for Chi Qingtai to find Xie Shuyun at a bonsai shop.

Compared with other shops in the flower market, this bonsai shop is extremely delicately decorated, and even the potted plants inside are also rising.

When Chi Qingtai came in, Xie Shuyun was under a huge plum tree, and when he came in, he looked up and asked, "Our living room is empty, I want to put a plum tree in it, do you like it?" ”

The plum tree is about 2 meters high, the trunk is simple and stout, and it has a sense of shape, and it is in the flowering period at this moment, and the branches are adorned with plum blossoms in full bloom, which is very beautiful.

Chi Qingtai also liked it and nodded: "Yes." ”

"Your husband has a very good eye, and he has taken a fancy to the treasure of our town store at a glance," the boss said boastfully, "Look at the shape of this tree, this is the only one, I dare to pack a ticket, you will not find a second plum tree like this in the world." ”

Xie Shuyan took out his mobile phone to pay, and Chi Qingtai was shocked when he saw the amount: "Wait, how much is this?" ”

"20,000 trees, it's all the cost price." Seeing that Chi Qingtai's face was not good, the boss was busy saying, "It's really not expensive, you look at this condition, this form, and the potted plants in the flower market are all at this price." ”

Chi Qingtai: "It's too expensive. ”

The boss looked at the wronged man on the side and coughed...... Xie Shula.

Xie Shu shrugged his shoulders lazily, looking afraid of his wife: "I listen to him." ”

Chi Qingtai: ". ”

Only then did the boss realize that this was the one who was in charge of the family's finances, and he left Xie Shulazy to concentrate on entertaining Chi Qingtai: "This guest, we are already at cost price." If you look at the shape of this tree and the posture of this flower, is it like the plum blossom in the Chinese painting? ”

"Like?" Chi Qingtai said calmly, "This tree is a potted plant, and it is very difficult to maintain, and it will die and stuffy its roots if you are not careful." Although the plum blossom is blooming beautifully, when it is over, it will only be a tree that occupies space. ”

"Alas, look at what you said, aren't we buying plum blossoms just to be a good temperament." The boss had an expression that I was going to lose to death, "For the New Year, I see that you two are not short of this money, in this way, I will also make you a friend, this pot of 19,000 will be given to you, and it will be delivered to your door for free." ”

Chi Qingtai didn't blink his eyes, and raised his hand to point: "This one and the one next to me, I want two of them, ten thousand nineteen." ”

Xie Shu raised his eyebrows in surprise, he had no worries about food and clothing since he was a child, where had he seen this kind of bargaining, and he was immediately suppressed.

"You're too much of a bully," the boss really wailed, "My cost price is more than 19,000, two trees and 30,000, and I can't be less." ”

"Ten thousand nine," Chi Qingtai's heart is harder than steel, "if you don't sell it, I'll leave." ”

With that, he turned around and walked out of the store.

Xie Shuyan put away his phone and followed.

He didn't have to pay for this little money, but he didn't have to be this tree, not to mention, it was quite interesting to watch the bargaining process of Chi Qingtai, and there was a different kind of fireworks atmosphere.

Xie Shuyun and Chi Qingtai walked out of the store together, thinking that this order was going to be yellow, but the boss chased him out the next moment, with an expression of loss of underwear: "Hey, wait, I'll sell!" I'll sell it to you! ”

Chi Qingtai seemed to have expected it, turned around and said, "Thank you, boss, two trees are 19,000, and they will be delivered to your door." ”

"It's also delivered to the door,......" the boss muttered, as if Chi Qingtai was his father's enemy, "It's not that I said, I really lost my blood, and I didn't earn you at all." ”

Xie Shuyi paid, and Chi Qingtai added: "Send it to two addresses, don't be mistaken." ”

Boss: "......"

In the last murderous gaze of the boss, Xie Shuyan hurriedly pulled Chi Qingtai and ran away.

Chi Qingtai still seemed to be a little unhappy: "I haven't finished talking yet, I could have asked him to send two more pots of small ......"

"Didn't you see the boss trying to stab you?" Xie Shu pulled him to the side of the road in one breath, and couldn't help laughing, "If you don't leave, I'm afraid that the boss will rush out and kill you." ”

Thinking of the appearance of the boss just now, Chi Qingtai couldn't help laughing: "Don't scare me, how can it be so exaggerated." ”

His expression was flying, and his cheeks were slightly flushed from the heat, and he was even more beautiful than the plum tree.

Xie Shu was stunned, and then realized that he was still holding Chi Qingtai's arm.

"I'm sorry." He let go and explained, "I was in a hurry just now. ”

The touch through the down jacket was not too real, Chi Qingtai pinned his hand behind him and shook his head very lightly: "It's okay." ”

After buying plum blossoms, they bought some large green plants, and the off-road vehicle was completely unable to fit it, so they had to let the truck carry it.

When he went to the parking lot, Chi Qingtai said that he had forgotten to buy something, so he asked Xie Shuyun to go over first.

Xie Shuyun was originally waiting for someone in the parking lot, but after waiting for a while, he found that the exit was closer, so he drove the car to the intersection to pick up Chi Qingtai. When queuing to pay, he happened to see Chi Qingtai standing on the side of the road, buying two pots of daffodils from the old lady who was setting up a stall.

Chi Qingtai didn't seem to see his car, and walked to the parking lot with two pots of sprouted flowers.

Xie Shuyun was about to call him, but saw the old lady selling flowers chasing after him: "Young man, you give too much!" Two pots of 50 yuan, why did you sweep 500! ”

Chi Qingtai turned around and was polite: "It's not much, I like these two pots of narcissus very much, and I will invite my little sister to drink milk tea for the rest." ”

Next to the old lady stood a little girl of three or four years old, looking at him with a blank eye.

The old lady behind the girl was dressed very plainly, her hands were rough and deformed, and it could be seen that the economic conditions were not very good. Everyone else has retired and enjoyed happiness at her age, and she still takes her children out to set up a stall in the winter to earn money.

But even then, she will return the excess money.

"How can that be, as much as you want." The old lady muttered, lowered her head and took out a plastic bag from her pocket, opened a roll of change, and counted them to Chi Qingtai one by one.

The difference was too much, she didn't have so many banknotes for a while, and took out her mobile phone to scan the QR code of the pool clearing platform.

She opened WeChat a little awkwardly, raised her head and said to Chi Qingtai: "Young man, scan your mobile phone for me." ”

Chi Qingtai thought for a while and said, "Then you can give me the remaining two pots as well." ”

In the other party's stunned gaze, Chi Qingtai took the only two pots of narcissus left in the back basket and turned to leave.

It wasn't until Chi Qingtai walked away that the old lady seemed to finally understand, she raised her hand in the direction of Chi Qingtai with her hands folded, and when she lowered her head, she couldn't help but wipe her tears.

"Grandma, why are you crying?" The little girl didn't know what was going on.

"It's okay," the old lady sniffed and pulled her granddaughter aside, "Grandma is happy, I can buy you milk tea." ”

"Wow, milk tea!" The little girl's eyes lit up, "Then I want to drink something with a milk cap!" ”

"Yes," said the old lady's trembling voice, "Grandma will buy you whatever you want." ”

……

"Finished buying?" Xie Shuyan walked around the outdoor parking lot and found Chi Qingtai.

"Well, let's go." Chi Qingtai put the flowers in the back seat, closed the door and got on the co-pilot, without mentioning what had just happened.

In the back seat, four open-mouth porcelain pots contain daffodil bulbs, which have sprouted and grown sword-shaped green leaves, presumably more than half a month before they can bloom.

Xie Shulan scanned the code to pay, and when he drove the car out of the parking lot, he asked casually: "Why did you buy so many daffodils?" ”

"I like it." After Chi Qingtai finished speaking, he said, "Leave a pot on your side." ”

That way, no matter where he is, he can see daffodils.

Xie Shuyun didn't seem to react, and said thank you after a while.

Chi Qingtai thought he was talking about flowers, so he casually said "um" and didn't take it to heart.

But in fact, Xie Shuyun invited Chi Qingtai to come to the flower market today, which was originally a temptation. He wanted to know what Ji Qingtai was hiding from him, and he wanted to know the real fear he was hiding with his cleanliness fetish.

He can "accidentally" bump into Chi Qingtai under the pretense of crowding, or let the dirt stain his hands while looking at flowers...... Xie Shuyun has too many ways to be tempted and not be discovered.

But somehow, when he saw Chi Qingtai carefully walking towards him with four pots of daffodils, his heart seemed to be pinched lightly.

Until he finally left the flower market, Xie Shuyun did not take any action.
