Chapter 55 Section 1

He looked at me, in the blurred fireworks, his eyes were gentle and drunk, and the colorful sky was reflected in the black eyes. In the deepest part, there was a little me. When I woke up the next morning, except for Lu Licheng and me, everyone else had already had breakfast, and half of the work in hand had been done. I'm embarrassed, but I slept "sleep" at someone's house on the first day.Taozi comforted me: "It's okay, isn't my uncle still sleeping now? Everyone knows that the work and rest time in the city and the countryside are different, and grandma specifically asked us not to disturb you."

Taozi chatted with me for a while and then went to work on his own affairs.Lu Licheng's sister and sister-in-law are busy in the kitchen, preparing the New Year's Eve dinner.As soon as I walked to the kitchen door, his sister pushed me out, "You can't do the work here, you go to watch TV, if you don't like watching TV, ask Cheng Zi to accompany you out for a walk." Seeing that Lu Licheng hadn't gotten up yet, she wanted to raise her voice to call him, but I hurriedly said, "No, he's very busy on weekdays, so it's rare for him to sleep late, let him sleep."

His sister wanted to make tea and snacks for me again.Jingjing called from a distance: "Auntie, I'll take you to play." If I found a savior, I immediately fled to Jingjing, and my sister and sister-in-law told me: "Take care of your aunt." Jingjing covered her mouth and snickered, I smiled wryly at Jingjing.Jingjing took my hand and walked along a stream, "My aunt and my dad are very nervous!" "What are you nervous about?" "Uncle managed to find an aunt back, and they were afraid that if they didn't do well, they would scare the aunt away."

I blushed, "I'm not, I'm not..." Jingjing said like an adult: "I know, you are not married yet, and even if you are not married, I am afraid that you will run away! Alas, my uncle is my grandma's heart disease. In the past, grandma was unhappy during the Chinese New Year. I often cry in front of grandpa’s photos. She is the happiest this year, and grandma said, if I behave well and my aunt likes me, she will give me a lot of lucky money.” I can't laugh or cry, no wonder the little girl is so considerate, she dares to get a bonus! "Where are you taking me?"

"Coming." The two of them were talking and turned a corner. On the leeward and sunny side, a plastic greenhouse appeared in front of them. "Here, come in!" Jingjing pulled me into the plastic shed, and I was amazed - there was a sea of ​​flowers in front of me, red, purple, yellow, pink... Big roses, small Phalaenopsis , in full bloom on the high and low shelves in the greenhouse. Jingjing looked at me with her hands behind her back and asked, "Do you like it?" I nodded, and she smiled triumphantly, "There is no girl who doesn't like flowers, you can choose whichever one you like."

Laughter came from the flowers, and Taozi stood up, "You really know how to be human." Jingjing blushed a little, and glared at Taozi, "Here are the flowers I planted, and those, those are all watered by me." Taozi said with a good temper: "Well, well! You planted it." While looking at the flowers on the shelf, I asked, "You made this?" "Well, this year is the second year." "How is it, how is the market? The business of flowers seems to be not easy to do." "The flower business is not easy to do. Rural people don't consume these things, only city people buy them. Yunnan is like spring all year round, which is suitable for the growth of flowers and plants. It has already formed a scale effect and the cost is cheap. Even if the air transportation fee is added, When it comes to Xi'an, Baoji, and Hanzhong, it still has a competitive advantage over our local flowers."

I observed his flowers and said, "You are not in the business of dead flowers, but live flowers?" He gave me a thumbs up, "Yes! I sell live flowers, which are potted flowers in the market. After all, the climate in Yunnan is different from ours, and the varieties of flowers are different, and the transportation cost of live flowers is too high. So my flower market is pretty good, especially during the holidays, and this year, just before the Spring Festival, a shed of flowers appeared." I estimated the number of shelves in the greenhouse and the number of flowers on each row of shelves, and based on what I knew about the price of the flower market, I said with admiration: "There should be three to five thousand yuan in the account, right?"

He was surprised, "You can calculate accounts faster than my uncle! That's right, after deducting chemical fertilizers, labor, and transportation, you can probably net more than 30,000 yuan." "Your uncle's specialty is not accounting. My specialty is accounting, so I want to work for him." Taozi smiled, pointed to a water-red hibiscus flower and said, "This one is beautiful. I will find a flowerpot and move it in later, and put it in your room." "Then I'm welcome." Jingjing hurriedly said: "I brought my aunt here." Taozi and I both laughed, and Taozi said, "Understood! When grandma asks about it later, you have contributed the most."

Lu Licheng asked at the door of the shed: "What credit?" Jingjing proudly said: "Help you find my aunt..." I covered her mouth and said with a smile, "Jingjing gave me a pot of flowers." Lu Licheng came over to look at it. Taozi carefully separated the selected hibiscus flower from other flower branches, and put the selected hibiscus flower into the plastic bucket beside it with the soil at the root. Lu Licheng asked: "How is the medicinal material you planted?" "Fortunately, the prices of peony bark and Eucommia have dropped this year, but the prices of Banlangen and Gastrodia elata are good."

"You still grow Chinese medicinal materials?" I was surprised. "More than that, he has covered half of the hillside and is planting fungus and snow fungus." Taozi said shyly, "I didn't plant them. My father and mother made fungus and snow fungus, and my uncle made medicinal materials." Lu Licheng asked: "You will be a senior next year. Have you thought about finding a job? Your mother and I have mentioned it several times and want you to stay in Chongqing. It's not far from home and it's a big city. It's really not possible. Go to Beijing is also good..."

Taozi interrupted Lu Licheng: "I don't want to go to Beijing, nor do I want to find a job in Chongqing." "Do you want to come back?" Taozi didn't say a word, just fiddled with the flower branches in his hand, and said after a while: "Not necessarily, I want to come back and take a look, if there is a chance, maybe go to other places to look at the land." Lu Licheng said: "Have you thought about it? Both your mother and your father hope that you can stay in the city. They don't want people to talk about it behind their backs, saying that they have worked so hard to pay for a college student, thinking that they will be able to make a lot of money, but the result is different from that of you." It’s the same as if someone didn’t get into college, and they didn’t go back to the countryside to be farmers.” I shouted: "Of course it's different!" Lu Licheng glanced at me, and I immediately shut up. Taozi frowned, and Lu Licheng said again: "You have to know that the countryside is not like the city. The people in the countryside are more enthusiastic than the people in the city, but they also care more about the rights and wrongs of others than the people in the city. Your mother has been so strong all her life. All hope It's all placed on you, so you may not be able to bear other people's gossip, and if it doesn't work out, you will be under a lot of psychological pressure, and you will not be happy." Taozi was unhappy, I gestured to him and pointed at Lu Licheng, he reacted and said with a smile: "I still have a brother-in-law! I am a big man, other people's gossip can't affect my mood, as for my mother... My mother's ideological work is handed over to my uncle. She listens to you the most. In fact, after graduating from college students in the city, most people's salary is only two or three thousand, or even more than one thousand. People with a little money in the city live They are all pigeon cages, and whenever I have time, I think of vacationing in the countryside. I like mountains and fields, and I like my house surrounded by flowers and trees. I don’t like living in pigeon cages. If my mother likes cities, I will take her there when she has time. City break." What a great city break!I gave Taozi a thumbs up.Lu Licheng also laughed, and patted him on the back, "Just know what you want and what you are facing, and the rest is just to work hard." Taozi looked at me and said, "Uncle, you have to work hard too!" I coughed twice, "Hurry up and get me flowers!" Taozi asked me to choose a flowerpot by myself. I picked an octagonal white porcelain pot and helped him plant the flowers. I wanted to ask Lu Licheng to look at it later.I saw him standing among the hibiscus flowers, looking at me intently. When I turned around, I happened to meet his gaze. He was stunned for a moment, and quickly looked away. Taozi asked: "It's almost time, shall we go back for lunch?" Lu Licheng said: "Now the family is preparing sacrifices. We can't help when we go back, and we will add to the chaos, and we are not allowed to eat this, and we are not allowed to eat that. There are too many rules! Why don't you go back and steal some wine and vegetables, and we will eat in the greenhouse .” Taozi said: "It's good. Last year, I ate a pig's ear without waiting for my ancestors to eat it first. My mother scolded me for a whole Spring Festival. This time, when I go back, she will definitely stare at me." His eyes rolled Zi Gulu turned around and looked at Jingjing, Jingjing smiled and stretched out her hand in front of him, Taozi sighed, took out a 50 and put it in Jingjing's hand, Jingjing looked at Lu Licheng again, "Uncle, And you?" "Fifty yuan is not enough?" "That's just the big brother's weight." Lu Licheng could only take out his wallet, and gave Jingjing a piece of 50, and I obediently went to touch the wallet, Jingjing said generously: "Forget it, you and my uncle are one family." I objected, so I dragged Taozi out of the greenhouse. The flower room suddenly became quiet, and the sense of smell of the nose seemed to be sharper, and the scent of flowers filled the air, making me want to be intoxicated. I took out my mobile phone, checked the time, and decided to call my mother and father for New Year greetings.Looking for a calling card, Lu Licheng handed me his mobile phone, "Use my mobile phone, you can directly dial international calls." When the phone was connected, there was a lot of noise, and my father said loudly: "We are watching a dragon dance. Your mother was dragged down to dance by a young man. He twisted his ass with her, and she danced Yangko with him. Some foreigners thought your mother The movements are fresh, and they twist together." I burst out laughing, "What about you? Is there any beautiful woman asking you to dance?" "Hmph! I'm not like your mother, I'm so light!" "Dad, happy new year! I wish you good health, happiness like the East China Sea, and longevity than Nanshan." Dad laughed, "You said you were celebrating the New Year with your friends, how are you doing?" "It's very fun. I also got a pot of hibiscus flowers, which are so beautiful!" "That's good, you should also know more friends, your mother and I can't be with you forever..." "Dad!" My voice rose sharply, and Dad immediately said, "I asked your mother to come and talk to you." My mother answered the phone, and before I could speak, she yelled: "Happy New Year! May our little girl find a good husband next year! May I get a good son-in-law next year! Well, I'm going to dance, a bunch of people are waiting Let me lead the dance, bye!" Before my objection was heard, my mother had already run away, and I could only hang up the phone after chatting with my father for a few words. I returned the phone to Lu Licheng, "Thank you." "I see that you call your parents almost every day. You and your parents have a very good relationship."
