Chapter 158
An old man with gray hair was tending flowers in the yard.

"Xiao Wu came to get the flowers?" Seeing Zhang Xiaowu Miao Sheng smiled and put down the water basin.

"Well, how is the flower I picked by Grandpa Miao? It's not wilting." Zhang Xiaowu said while looking into the yard.

Each sunflower was the size of a palm and bloomed brilliantly golden. Miao Sheng had planned to sell the sunflowers to a dry goods store to fry melon seeds.

But fortunately Zhang Xiaowu came to say that he bought them all.

It is much more profitable than selling to dry goods stores.

"No, no, the melon seeds are almost ripe now, you can buy this sunflower home, and you can still eat the melon seeds after decorating, killing two birds with one stone."

Miao Sheng said with a smile.

The sunflowers were planted in almost an acre of land, all of which were surrounded by Zhang Xiaowu.

"This is an osmanthus branch. I broke a lot of branches for you. When you put the osmanthus branches among the sunflowers, there will be bursts of sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance."

Miao Sheng said with a smile.

He has lived for more than 50 years, and this is the first time he has seen such a big battle for his engagement.

Even the official affairs did not have such a big battle.

"Thank you, Grandpa Miao. This is five taels of silver as agreed." After finishing speaking, he put down the money, "I'll go load the car."

"Xiaohu Xiaoqing, hurry up and help." As soon as the words finished, two figures rushed out to help.

Watching the three of them busy moving things, the driver on the side also helped.

When he was almost done, Zhang Xiaowu noticed, "Xiaoqing, Xiaohu, why are you here?"

"Little Brother Wu?" The two of them kept their heads down the whole time they were working, and only now did they raise their heads to notice Zhang Xiaowu.

"Little fifth brother... my mother passed away, and my brother and I were homeless and were taken in by Grandpa Miao." Xiaoqing cried.

Zhang Xiaowu took a deep breath.

Although he didn't have much contact with these two people, he was deeply impressed by Xiaohu's bravery before.

"You take the money. If you need any help later, you can find me in the shop. You are Fubao's friends, and you are my friends." Zhang Xiaowu took out the few taels of silver from his pocket and stuffed it into it. In the hands of Xiaohu.

"I can't ask for your money. We can eat and drink at Grandpa Miao's place for free." Xiaohu didn't answer.

"Hold it. You have to go to school, and you will be successful after school." Zhang Xiaowu also knows the importance of studying now. During the flood, he learned a lot of words, so he is no longer illiterate.

So when I saw Xiaohu and Xiaoqing, I persuaded them.

"Accept what Xiao Wu gives you." Miao Sheng said with a smile.

He likes these two children very much. If it weren't for these two children, his life would not be so boring and boring.

"Okay, I'm leaving. If you need anything, go to the shop and find me." Zhang Xiaowu said and left.

When the two drove the donkey cart to Qingshan Village, it was already noon, and every household was eating behind closed doors, so no one saw it.

After unloading a cart of sunflowers, the driver left.

Taking advantage of the practice of eating, Zhang Xiaowu made it clear what he wanted to do.

Put sunflowers around the yard, and then decorate the door of the house.

Sunflowers are also inserted on the eaves of the house, and those that cannot be inserted are fixed with ropes.

Then osmanthus branches are randomly interspersed among them, and the fragrance is overflowing.

The decoration at the gate of the courtyard is going to be done at night by the people of the old Zhang family. After all, the decoration must be kept secret.

"Fifth Uncle and Fifth Uncle, can this sunflower really be given to me?" Pearl asked excitedly holding a sunflower.

"I can give it to you, but I can only have one, and the rest will be used by Fifth Uncle Hua to marry Aunt Fifth." Zhang Xiaowu said with a smile.

While talking, he pasted the red window grilles on the wall.

"Oh, oh, okay, one is enough." Pearl excitedly waved a sunflower that was bigger than her face, "Come on, Qiuqiu, my sister will peel melon seeds for you to eat."

Hearing this, Qiuqiu, who had been rambunctious at first, quieted down instantly, and sat quietly on the steps waiting for the pearl to be fed.

"Uncle Wu, where did you come up with such a gaudy engagement trick?" Rui Geer asked with a smile while helping to fix Sunflower.

At first he wondered if this method would work.

But now I have a look at the almost furnished yard, and it looks great.

The sunflowers are golden in pieces.

"Fubao told me." Zhang Xiaowu said with a smile.

"I knew it, it wasn't what you thought." Rui Ge'er said with a smile.

As the evening approached, it was finally ready, "It's so beautiful." Sun Taohua hugged Da Li's son Zhuang Zhuang and looked at the golden sunflowers in the yard with envy.

"Do you like flowers? Then I'll bring them for you next time I come back." Zhang Laosi said with a smile after washing his hands.

He's living a busy life now.

The son is smart and clever, and the daughter-in-law has also changed a lot. She respects her parents-in-law and is not as selfish as before.

"Forget it, forget it, this flower is too expensive. This is a sunflower, and you can fry melon seeds later. It would be a waste of other flowers." Sun Taohua said with a smile.

Zhang Liushi and Lao Zhangtou looked at Sun Taohua and Zhang Laosi talking and laughing, and the other people in the yard were also busy with smiles on their faces.He let out a long sigh.

"This day is like a dream."

Old Zhang had a look of emotion on his face.

"Although it's a dream, this dream will last forever." Zhang Liushi patted Lao Zhangtou's hand with a smile, turned and went back to the room.

When Fu Bao came back and saw the decorated yard, he found Zhang Xiaowu and slapped him.

This palm is encouragement.

"Fifth brother, you are really good. I just said it once and you will remember it. It looks pretty good."

"That's that, that's right, you know who I saw when I was shopping for flowers."

"Who."

"Xiaoqing and Xiaohu, their family must have had an accident during the flood. Their mother passed away, so the two of them were left behind and were taken in by the old man of the Miao family's flower garden."

Zhang Xiaowu's words are concise and to the point.

"Hey, it's really..." Fu Bao sighed.

But soon the depressed mood was diluted by the engagement of the next day.

The two families sat together for an engagement table.

Because of the large number of people, we plan to set up three tables.

So many ingredients have to be prepared the night before.

People in the old Zhang family were busy until midnight.

at the same time.

Qian Guijia.

"Mother, does this engagement dress look good?" Qian Maisui put on the red robe and embroidered Shu brocade clothes.

It was originally a little wider, but it was changed by Qian Wang two days ago, and now it fits perfectly.

"It looks good, it looks good." Mrs. Qian Wang touched the material of the clothes, it was very comfortable, and said with emotion, "This old Zhang family is also good to you, and you should do it well in the future, and keep your daughter-in-law. Minute."

"Mother, this is engagement, not marriage." Qian Maisui was very shy.

"But the engagement is a certainty, so do you still want to call it quits?"

Zhang Wang patted his daughter, and gave Qian Maisui a blank look.
