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

Deputy Director Cao saw him coming and said with a smile on his face: "Classmate Ji, why do you have time to come to the street office?"

"Is there something we didn't do well in our work?"

Ji Yuanhai also had a smile on his face and said: "Brother Cao, I haven't encountered anything. It's just that I happen to have something that I want to ask you about."

Deputy Director Cao said: "Well, Mr. Ji, you tell me."

"Brother Cao, I heard that there will be a flower exhibition in our provincial capital this year. Are there any specific requirements for participating units?"

"If I want to participate in a flower show, should I hang it under the name of the Nanshi Street Sub-district Office? Or should it be under the name of the district government or 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. There was a flower exhibition last year, and it brought together flowers from several nearby provinces. It was quite successful."

"This year is a little different from last year. In addition to our units being able to participate in the flower show, it is no longer compulsory to participate. Individual business units, even private ones, can also participate. According to the above statement, this is called a hundred flowers blooming."

"Classmate Ji, your Fangcaoxuan has a good reputation in the provincial capital. There is no need to name it under our unit. Just go and sign up and you should be able to participate."

Ji Yuanhai was a little surprised, but then he was relieved: Yes, restrictions in this regard are being lifted step by step.

The first session was relatively rigid, and non-units were not allowed to participate; now I am starting to move forward tentatively.

"That's great...Brother Cao, if I didn't ask you, I would still be confused and don't know what's going on!" Ji Yuanhai said quickly, "How can I thank you?"

"Hahahaha, you're welcome, Classmate Ji, this is what you should be doing!"

Deputy Director Cao started talking, and saw a figure outside the door from the corner of his eye. He suddenly looked a little unhappy: "Come in! What's the matter?"

Who is wandering around the door like this, unruly?

A woman with a bulging belly and small eyes walked in: "Three... Director Cao!"

"Oh, Jianhong, what can I do for you?" Deputy Director Cao's expression softened significantly.

The woman with small eyes said nothing and stared at Ji Yuanhai blankly.

Ji Yuanhai was also slightly surprised: Cao Jianhong?

Cao Jianhong, one of the educated youths who used to go to the countryside in Xiaoshantun, lived in the same room as Lu Heling.

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

Only then did Cao Jianhong cry out: "Ji Yuanhai, it's really you!"

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

To be honest, when they were in Xiaoshantun Production Brigade, Ji Yuanhai, Lu Heling and Cao Jianhong didn't get along well. Cao Jianhong was somewhat humane and hoped that Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling would not get along well.

Now that they meet again, she has no other emotions except surprise; Ji Yuanhai is no longer as unruly as before.

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

Then he said to Deputy Director Cao: "Brother Cao, is this your niece? Then we are so destined. Your niece used to go to the countryside to join the team, and she was in our production team."

Deputy Director Cao suddenly realized: So that’s what happened.

But I was even more confused in my heart.

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

However, Cao Jianhong has often said that the place where he goes to the countryside is a real remote place with poor mountains and harsh waters and unruly people.

Ji Yuanhai was born in such a remote mountainous area. Now he is well-dressed and wearing a watch. He runs Fangcaoxuan, a famous flower shop in the provincial capital, and earns who knows how much money he makes in a month.

How did this change happen? Isn’t that too outrageous?

Deputy Director Cao was confused. Thinking of the reprimand from his superiors, he immediately suppressed the doubts in his heart.

No matter what the reason is, people are now moving up the ladder and have a big backer in the provincial capital. Of course, they are no longer the people in the backcountry; they can only make friends with them and cannot offend them.

Of course, my heart was inevitably sour, and I was jealous of this lucky boy.

"Yes! Classmate Ji, this is such a fate!" Deputy Director Cao smiled and said to Ji Yuanhai, "My niece met you first, and I met you later. We are still two to three hundred miles apart. We can all meet together, this is such a great fate!"

"Jianhong, our family must keep in touch with Classmate Ji in the future!"

Cao Jianhong also nodded quickly - in fact, the time Cheng Weiguo met her, they both felt so sad when they talked about Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling. They saw two people with rural household registration admitted to university, and later assigned to official units, and they flourished. , how can they not be sour?

In addition to being bitter, she also said to Cheng Weiguo: It would have been better if she had not offended Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling!

If they had not offended them at the beginning, Cao Jianhong and Cheng Weiguo were good friends with them now. In the future, they could only enjoy the benefits and not suffer the losses.

Ji Yuanhai certainly has no friendship with Cao Jianhong.

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

However, in view of Deputy Director Cao's sincere friendship, Ji Yuanhai still smiled and agreed: "Brother Cao, Cao Jianhong, we are all acquaintances, and we will often communicate with each other in the future."

"Yes, yes, we will visit you more often from now on!"

Deputy Director Cao and Cao Jianhong both said quickly.

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

"Yes, Third Uncle!" Cao Jianhong sighed with emotion, "I never thought that one day he would be able to sneak into the provincial capital! I thought he would have to work in the fields all his life!"

Deputy Director Cao thought: This is the way of luck.

A young man from a poor village can get into the palace of a noble man...

Cao Jianhong asked Deputy Director Cao again: "Third Uncle, isn't he going to school? Why is he here in our street office? Is there anything to do?"

Deputy Director Cao explained: "Not only does he go to school, he also has two shops open on Hua Niao Street."

"ah?"

Cao Jianhong was shocked: "How much does this cost! Where did he get so much money?"

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

"Then...third uncle..."

Cao Jianhong wanted to ask again, but Deputy Director Cao quickly waved his hand and said: "It's working time now, don't talk to me all the time!"

"Let's talk about it when we get home."

"Okay, Third Uncle!"

…………………………………………

After leaving the Nanshi Street Subdistrict 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 Brother Niu, who was enthusiastic and explained in detail. Brother Niu still remembered him and asked him how he was studying now.

The two talked for a while, and after reminiscing about old times, Ji Yuanhai asked Brother Niu about this year's flower show.

Brother Niu and his "acquaintance" did not hide anything and directly told Ji Yuanhai where to sign up.

When Ji Yuanhai went to sign up, they didn't say he wouldn't be allowed to sign up. They just asked him to bring his business license and confirm his qualifications. He couldn't just sign up just for someone to agree to stay at the exhibition.

Ji Yuanhai returned to Fangcaoxuan, got the business license, and determined the preparations for the few days before the exhibition, as well as the varieties of flowers to be displayed - one or two flowers can be temporarily added, but they cannot exceed the exhibition area, cannot be reduced, and cannot be absent. .

Others are less demanding.

After all, the private sector does not have much experience in organizing activities in this area.

Ji Yuanhai returned to Fangcaoxuan, packed up his things, closed the door with Lu Heling and Wang Zhuyun, picked up his things and prepared to leave.

"Yuan Hai, be careful on the road!" Huo Lianshi greeted.

Xiao Hongyi said: "Don't worry, we will take good care of these two shops and the yard, and nothing will happen."

Ji Yuanhai waved to them.

The three of them then walked out along Flower and Bird Street.

"Boss Xiao Ji, are you closing now?"

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

Ji Yuanhai greeted Brother Guan and other shop owners.

Shan Xing's face was full of joy. He carried the Cantonese-speaking starling and sent Ji Yuanhai and the others all the way to the intersection of Flower and Bird Street, making both Ji Yuanhai and Yuan Zhonghua laugh.

This person can be said to have put all his plans on his face.

"Shanxing, how about you take Xiaoji to the train station?" Yuan Zhonghua asked with a smile.

"No, no, I still have something to be busy with..." Shan Xing said.

"Oh, I think you seem quite free." Yuan Zhonghua said.

Shanxing also became cheeky: "Boss Xiao Ji and I are so in love, I couldn't help but give him a piece of it."

"Boss Xiao Ji, you have a nice trip. I still have things to do, so I won't send you any more gifts!"

Ji Yuanhai didn't bother to argue with him, so he just communicated superficially and nodded his thanks.

"Brother Yuan, goodbye."

Ji Yuanhai said to Yuan Zhonghua.

Yuan Zhonghua said with a smile: "I'll be back in just ten or twenty days, why don't I say goodbye? Let's go quickly."

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

"Teacher Yuan, you know better. What do you think this is?"

Yuan Zhonghua took a look and saw that the old woman was holding a bunch of black peanut-sized things in her hands.

"Ms. Zou, what did you get? Are the peanuts burnt?"

"No... it's just my old man digging things. The pile of things he dug out looks like they are old." Aunt Zou said, "Look, are they valuable?"

Yuan Zhonghua took it and looked at it carefully, smelled the earthy smell on it, and looked at Aunt Zou: "It was really dug out!"

"Yeah, he's an old guy, right?"

Yuan Zhonghua shook his head: "I really didn't see it... This doesn't look like iron, ceramics, or gold or silver... Aunt Zou, I feel like it might be pine nuts or other hard-shelled things from the past. .”

"Hi!" Aunt Zou said disappointedly, "I weighed it in my hands and it felt like it was not the same as before. The old man insisted on asking me to ask."

Yuan Zhonghua said: "Ms. Zou, I may not be sure. Why don't you go to Flower and Bird Street to have a look?"

Aunt Zou shook her head: "It's all in vain. They only 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.

"Mom! Can you let me see what you have in your hand?"

Aunt Zou was immediately delighted: "Young man, do you understand this?"

Is it possible that there is still a chance to sell some money?

"I don't understand this, but I know flowers and plants." Ji Yuanhai said, "I look at the handful in your hand, it looks like some flower seeds left behind in the past."

When Aunt Zou heard this, her face suddenly fell.

This handful of things might be worth something if it were an antique.

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

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

Aunt Zou looked at it for a moment and said, "I see the same thing..."

She took one out and asked Yuan Zhonghua to pry it open with a hammer. A white thing was revealed inside. Aunt Zou was completely disappointed: "It's the lotus seeds!"

Ji Yuanhai smiled and said: "It's true, aunt, can you sell these lotus seeds to me? I look strange."

Aunt Zou was a little embarrassed: she didn't dare to believe what others said before, but it turned out that what they said was true.

These few lotus seeds add up to almost a shower head.

This thing doesn't even cost two cents, so why do you need money?

After stuffing these burnt peanut-like lotus seeds into Jiyuanhaishou, Aunt Zou said: "With these few lotus seeds, just to taste them, how much does it cost?"

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

"It's appropriate to give you some seed money."

Aunt Zou hesitated a little and looked at Yuan Zhonghua.

Yuan Zhonghua smiled and said: "Xiao Ji, Aunt Zou are not outsiders, they are all old neighbors nearby."

"Give me a dollar."

Aunt Zou was overjoyed: "Can you have one dollar?"

He was a little uneasy: "How can you get a dollar for these lotus seeds? Why don't you give me fifty cents?"

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

A few lotus seeds can be sold for one yuan, which is obviously a profit.

Era Sea didn't feel that it was at a disadvantage - the life of these lotus seeds was extremely weak. Looking at the appearance of the outer skin and the fact that they were dug out of the soil, they must be at least a hundred years old.

If these lotus varieties that are more than a hundred years old are produced and then sold, the money will not be too small.

This is something that Era Hai can do.

Even plant experts are helpless when encountering these lotus seeds whose life is already weak and destined to fail to germinate.

It is not that ancient lotuses have never reappeared, but each type of lotus has been reappeared because the lotus seeds are well preserved; such as the lotus seeds in Era Kaishou, if it were anyone else, it would be absolutely impossible to cultivate ancient lotuses again. .

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

At the same time that Lianzi got it, Ji Yuanhai already had an idea in his mind.

Isn't this a rare and wonderful flower?

…………………………………………

We 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 and stay for a few days.

Before leaving, Ji Yuanhai specifically told Wang Zhuyun: There are many idle people in society now, so don't go to remote places to relax after getting angry.

Even if you are angry with your family, go to the flower shop to find Liu Xianglan and Ji Yuanhai, or go to the family home to find Mr. Wang, you can't just leave.

"I know, I know!"

Wang Zhuyun waved and said with a smile, feeling 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 blush and wipe away tears - she didn't know why, she hadn't seen Ji Yuan Hai for a long time, but she wanted to cry when they met.

That night, Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling stayed at the home of Liu Xianglan and her daughter.

I originally bought a small courtyard in Tuanjie Alley, which was safe and had few neighbors to talk about. Even when Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling moved in, no one noticed.

The gifts they bought were given to Liu Xianglan and her daughter as soon as they met. There were clothes, delicious food, toys, and a watch for Liu Xianglan.

After dinner, Lu Heling handed Liu Xianglan the blessing object requested from the Great Buddha Temple, and Liu Xianglan's eyes were bright.

After that, I felt a little stunned and embarrassed.

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

"He Ling, I...I can't say anything. I'll give you a toast."

Liu Xianglan held a wine glass and toasted to Lu Heling.

Then, while still drunk, she blushed and said, "I am older in terms of age, but actually I am younger and you are older."

"From now on, if anyone treats you badly, they have to get through me first!"

While talking, Liu Xianglan drank another glass of wine to express her firm determination.

After dinner, Lu Heling took Wang Xiaohong to sleep next door. He chatted with her and 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 felt hot.

The quality of this bed is also not good.

Then I thought of Ji Yuanhai's body that seemed to contain infinite power, and Liu Xianglan's plump appearance. They hadn't seen each other for a long time... This was normal.

It was just difficult for Lu Heling, who couldn't eat by herself. She was always in trouble, and now she felt like she couldn't eat. She tossed and turned for a long time, closing her eyes slightly, and then opening them again until dawn.

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

Still there?

This is too...

Sister Xianglan is so amazing!

Lu Heling took Wang Xiaohong out to have breakfast and walk around the county town.

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