Rebirth begins with marrying a female educated youth

Facing the old man's question, Ji Yuanhai nodded.

When the old man heard this, he looked at Ji Yuanhai and then at the two girls behind him, guessing that they were his classmates and friends.

"It's better to go to school than to rush into business... I saw that you are good at growing flowers and you are good at making money. I thought you were going to join the business and couldn't wait to make money."

"If people read more and study more when they are young, they will avoid many detours in the future."

After saying these two words with emotion, he asked Ji Yuanhai what kind of school it was.

"It's a provincial university." Ji Yuanhai replied.

The old man nodded approvingly: "The provincial university is good. It seems that you study very hard."

"I'm pretty good at growing flowers... Well, I originally wanted to buy a pot of Longchangsu today to remember the past. For the sake of the young man's hard work, I bought an extra pot to support you in going to school and studying hard."

Ji Yuanhai heard this and said quickly: "You must not do this!"

"The money I earned today is enough. I have already earned my tuition, books, and living expenses."

"If you only want to buy one pot, then buy one; don't spend any unnecessary money on me."

When the old man heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "You are really not suitable for business, you still have a nerdy air about you!"

"Look at any businessman who is not willing to spend even a penny. You actually refuse? If a person like you does business, it won't be long before he loses money and can't even continue to do business. .”

Ji Yuanhai smiled and said: "You are right, I am indeed not capable enough."

"It's enough to make enough money."

"That's good. It's rare that you are not greedy." The old man turned to the young man who was supporting him and said, "Yue Feng, give me the pot of Longchang Su and pay this young man."

The young man named Yue Feng nodded, paid Ji Yuanhai, and picked up the Long Changsu that the old man had just seen: "Grandpa, let's go back?"

The old man nodded, and the two got into the car and left.

After they left, Wang Zhuyun whispered: "This old man must be a veteran cadre, and his rank will not be too low."

Ji Yuanhai nodded and thought: Judging from his age and his accent, the people from Sichuan and Sichuan...he has quite a lot of background.

Today, he must have accidentally seen someone carrying orchids sold by Jiyuanhai, so he came over to buy a pot in person.

This "come and buy in person" should also be considered.

A person of his status has abundant resources, reputation and influence.

If you accept someone else's pot of orchids today, tomorrow his yard may be filled with orchids. I don't know how many people are trying their best to please him... But he himself comes over in the afternoon, buys a pot and takes it home. This is a very private and hidden thing, and it won't be a big deal. cause such trouble.

After watching Ji Yuanhai sell another pot of flowers, and to someone with an unusual status, "Brother Shan" who was closing the stall at the side no longer had any intention of being envious and jealous.

Go, go, go, hurry up.

I really can't stand it any longer. If I look at it a few more times, I won't be able to sleep tonight.

"Brother Shan" hurriedly cleaned up the stall and rode away on a small tricycle.

The Cantonese starling was on the tricycle and kept chanting in Cantonese: "Lucky stars shine, hello everyone, good evening..."

After he left, the white-haired old stall owner immediately ran over.

"Young man, this is just this pot of plum blossoms? Let's talk about the price?"

Ji Yuanhai smiled and said, "You decide the price."

The white-haired old stall owner stretched out a palm.

"To be honest, that's the price."

Ji Yuanhai shook his head: "No."

"You... young man, you... you are also selling flowers and plants, and I am also in the Flower and Bird Street. We are in the same business, right? We are all knowledgeable, and you won't give me a penny. Do you think this is appropriate?" The white-haired old stall owner said, "If I didn't like it, I wouldn't be able to come here a third time and tell you this price."

"Besides, if you give me a better deal, you won't lose anything. When you go to Flower and Bird Street in the future, if you come to me, Lao Wang, for anything, I will definitely help you if I can."

"If you don't believe it, you can go to Flower and Bird Street to find out if my old Wang's credit is like this."

"You can also ask if the Fangcaoxuan I opened has ever tricked or harmed anyone."

This "Old Wang" seems to really want a discount. Not only did he tell the location of his store, but he also made a sworn promise to Ji Yuanhai. This probably means that Ji Yuanhai will give him a discount this time, which means he is making friends. .

From now on, when Ji Yuanhai goes to Flower and Bird Street, it will definitely work to find him.

After hearing this, Ji Yuanhai nodded repeatedly: "Old Wang, if you say so, it is not impossible for me to make this friend."

"I have a favor right now. I wonder if you can help?"

"Old Wang" quickly asked what was going on.

Ji Yuanhai said: "I want to buy a residence here in the provincial capital. Lao Wang, do you have any idea about this?"

"Old Wang" said: "If you want to talk about what happened on Flower and Bird Street, then I really have a way to help you think about it. I'm really not good at buying and selling houses. You have to ask Yuan Zhonghua."

"Yuan Zhonghua?" Ji Yuanhai asked.

"Yes, Yuan Zhonghua." Lao Wang introduced, "He can do everything from house leasing and buying and selling, weddings and funerals, to naming children! He is a well-known know-it-all at the corner of Hua Niao Street, and there are thousands of people in that block. If you have any problems in life, come to him and he can solve most of them as long as you give money.”

"And he marked the price in advance, has a fair conscience, and has a good reputation."

Ji Yuanhai asked Yuan Zhonghua's address again.

"There is a supply and marketing cooperative at the corner of Hua Niao Street, and he runs it. Just look for him wherever you go." Lao Wang said.

Ji Yuanhai nodded: "Okay, if you say this, you are doing me a favor."

"What about this pot of Song Mei..." Lao Wang asked.

"I'll sell it to you for five hundred yuan." Ji Yuanhai said, "However, I have to say some ugly things first."

"When I go to Flower and Bird Street, if I find out that Yuan Zhonghua is not who you said he is, I will have to settle the account with you. Don't talk about my Song Mei, I will have to get it back. I won't get the five hundred yuan either. Return."

"Old Wang, do you think this is okay?"

Lao Wang directly raised his hand and pointed at his face: "Young man, remember my face."

"If I tell you a lie, you will tear my old face to pieces!"

Ji Yuanhai smiled and said: "No, no, I have always valued peace. I don't like to fight, and I don't know how to fight."

Lao Wang paid 500 yuan, left with the last pot of Song Mei, and then returned to his stall to close the stall.

After he left, Wang Zhuyun suddenly covered his mouth and let out a laugh.

Ji Yuanhai looked at her with a puzzled look on his face: "I'm selling a pot of orchids, why are you so happy?"

"I'm not happy, it's because you are so shameless." Wang Zhuyun said with a smile, "At the Qingshan County vegetable market, you dared to hit so many people from the Zhao family by yourself, and you still had the upper hand."

"Why do you have the nerve to say that peace is the most precious thing to you?"

After he finished speaking, he laughed so hard that he couldn't hold back his joy.

She was so happy that Lu Heling couldn't help but laugh too - Ji Yuanhai was very rude in the fight in Xiaoshantun, and he was very heavy-handed in beating up the bad guy who snatched the child at the train station. It is indeed consistent with the concept of "peace is the most precious". The four words are unrelated.

Ji Yuanhai shook his head speechlessly.

"You know I'm so cruel, and you still dare to laugh at me? Are you afraid that I'll give you a break?"

Wang Zhuyun laughed and said, "You can't hit me, why should I be afraid?"

"If you laugh at me again, I will really be rude to you..." Ji Yuanhai said something, which made Wang Zhuyun laugh even happier.

This crazy girl is obviously very easy to make a living...how did her father, Wang Wenbo, become so depressed that he ran away from home all the time?

Seeing that the time was almost up and there were still three pots of Longchangsu that had not been sold, Ji Yuanhai said: "Okay, the stall is over and it is a complete success."

"That's it, let's put down our things when we go back and have a good meal at Yanfushun and enjoy it!"

Wang Zhuyun and Lu Heling were both a little surprised.

"Is that all? These three pots of flowers haven't been sold yet!"

Ji Yuanhai smiled, picked up a basin and handed it to Lu Heling: "You have a basin."

He picked up another pot and said, "One pot for me."

Finally, he looked at Wang Zhuyun: "That pot is yours."

"The three of us, each bringing a basin to the dormitory, solved these three stocks."

Wang Zhuyun was pleasantly surprised: "Is there still a pot of mine?"

Then he shook his head: "I still don't want it! Your pot of orchids costs five to six hundred yuan, how expensive is it? I still don't want it..."

Lu Heling also shook his head: "Yuan Hai, I don't want my pot anymore; I don't know how to serve such a delicate flower, and there is not a single person in the dormitory, and I can't feed it. You can only waste five years by giving it to me." , six hundred dollars.”

Wang Zhuyun also agreed: "Yes, yes, I don't know how to grow orchids."

"You'd better sell it - in short..."

She hesitated for a moment: "Anyway, thank you for your kindness, Ji Yuanhai."

Ji Yuanhai saw that neither of them wanted to take it, so he didn't insist anymore: "That's okay, I'll take care of it first. Anyway, the three pots of orchids can be placed anywhere, and it's no problem for me to take them to the dormitory myself."

He and the two of them packed up the sacks, matza, and three pots of orchids, and then called back to the hotel on the street in front of the Provincial University.

I bought fried sugar from a roasted seed shop on the way, entered the hotel, and handed it to the waiter, Sister Ma.

Sister Ma smiled and took it: "Oh, Xiao Ji, what are you doing? How embarrassing - did you sell the flowers today?"

"Sister Ma, yes, we sold it, and there are still three pots left." Ji Yuanhai said with a smile.

Sister Ma nodded: "The flowers you grow are Shuiling, so they should be sold!"

After finishing speaking, he reminded Ji Yuanhai: "There are two days until the provincial university starts. Xiao Ji, are you going to move to the dormitory tomorrow?"

Ji Yuanhai nodded: "Yes, Sister Ma, the school dormitory is almost full now."

"However, I am also prepared to have another busy day tomorrow and report to school the day after tomorrow."

"I still have a few things in the room I'm staying in. I'll wait until I check out with you. As long as I don't check out with you, the room fee will still be paid, so you can keep the room for me."

"The room will be clean for you by the time I check out."

After Ji Yuanhai finished speaking, Sister Ma smiled and said: "Okay, okay, you can make your own decision; I'm not urging you to check out, I'm just reminding you not to forget to start school."

"Yes, I know. Thank you very much, Sister Ma, for reminding me."

Ji Yuanhai talked to Sister Ma, went to the room with Lu Heling and Wang Zhuyun to put down their things, and went out with a bag - inside the bag was the 4,100 yuan earned today, and two bills for 1,200 yuan were waiting. I'll cash it in tomorrow. I still have more than a thousand yuan, which was brought by Era Maritime School.

There were also admission notices for him and Lu Heling.

As for the inheritance from Lu Heling's parents, it was really inconvenient to carry around, so it could only be kept inside the house.

After going out, I found a turtle-shell tricycle soliciting customers. Ji Yuanhai, Lu Heling, and Wang Zhuyun crowded in the back row and arrived at "Yan Fushun", a time-honored restaurant in the provincial capital.

It’s completely different from other restaurants where you can get a full meal for only three yuan. Yan Fushun’s chefs are very skilled and the cooking materials are good, so each dish usually costs three to four yuan, and even costs six or seven yuan. vegetable.

Ji Yuanhai didn’t order too much, and the three of us ordered six dishes.

It took an hour for the dishes to arrive one after another.

Some dishes are crispy and make a "click" sound when bitten into the mouth; some dishes are salty and fragrant and have a long aftertaste in the mouth.

What Lu Heling and Wang Zhuyun like the most is a bowl of milk soup, which is extremely delicious because of its rich and original flavor.

Because Ji Yuanhai didn't deliberately save money, he spent more than 20 yuan on this meal.

Prices at this time were very cheap, and at the same time, the income from pure labor and honest work was not much; a meal costing more than 20 yuan was a luxury that many workers were reluctant to part with and many farmers could not imagine.

When Epoch Sea compares the money in the bag and the prices, it is inevitable to feel a sense of accomplishment.

If he didn't choose to make some money in this way, I'm afraid he would have to save even eating white-flour steamed buns.

After eating, it was already dark after all, and there were no buses.

Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling sent Wang Zhuyun back to the provincial university, and then they returned to the hotel.

The next day, Ji Yuanhai, Lu Heling, and Wang Zhuyun met together and cashed in the bills given by Mr. Hua and Boss Zhang, totaling 2,400 yuan.

Afterwards, the three of them arrived at Flower and Bird Street in the provincial capital.

Sure enough, I saw a consignment point at the corner of the street.

In the consignment point, a middle-aged man with a beard was smiling and chatting with a child.

After making soy sauce, the middle-aged man sat down, and a middle-aged woman was already sitting in front of him.

"Teacher Yuan, tell me, what should I do?"

"What to do... let's talk slowly."

The middle-aged man is obviously Yuan Zhonghua.

He is really a very strange and know-it-all person. When someone buys something at the consignment point, he gets up to sell something. After selling something, he sits back down and chats with the middle-aged woman.

What he said was not profound. He just talked about the middle-aged woman's irritable temper, talked about her family situation, talked about it, and finally gave the middle-aged woman a suggestion and a folk remedy to help her calm down her anger and calm down.

The middle-aged woman nodded repeatedly, left the five cents and left.

Agency point, psychiatrist plus Chinese medicine? This is a bit messy.

No wonder others say he is a jack of all trades...

While Ji Yuanhai was thinking, Yuan Zhonghua greeted with a smile: "You three, are you here to see me?"

Ji Yuanhai nodded.

Yuan Zhonghua added: "Looking at me, what do you call me?"

"The last name is Ji."

"Okay, this Comrade Ji..." Yuan Zhonghua continued to ask, "Should I buy something or ask something?"

"Asking about something, I want to buy a place to live, which is a single-family house, not the kind that shares a yard with others." Ji Yuan Haiyan briefly stated his requirements.

Yuan Zhonghua nodded: "Okay, if you just ask where to sell the house, it will cost five cents."

"If you let me go look at the house with you, I'll give you an extra three yuan."

Ji Yuanhai asked: "What's the difference here?"

"I can help you look at the problems in your house, help you choose, and find the most suitable one for you." Yuan Zhonghua said, "It's definitely worth every penny."

"If you can really do it, then I really want to thank you." Ji Yuanhai said, "By the way, let me ask you something. Is Fangcaoxuan on Flower and Bird Street opened by a man named Wang? I sold him a Potted Flower, he recommended that I come to you to inquire about renting a house."

"Oh, Lao Wang, he is quite nice..." Yuan Zhonghua said with a smile, "Since Lao Wang told you, I will give you five cents free of charge."

"Do you want me to tell you about the house sale, or do you want to take me to see the house together?"

Wang Zhuyun was surprised: "Didn't you say that the house was sold for 50 cents, and you waived 50 cents?"

"Yes, no need to pay, no money." Yuan Zhonghua touched his beard, "If you don't need me to accompany you, I will chat with you and tell you where there are houses for sale."

"Just treat it like chatting with friends."

Wang Zhuyun couldn't help but said: "You are really a good person."

Yuan Zhonghua smiled and said: "That's what the neighbors here say."

Ji Yuanhai smiled: "Let me ask you about another person. Yesterday, there was a man named Shan who set up a stall with me. He is also from Hua Niao Street, right?"

"Oh, you're talking about Shanxing." Yuan Zhonghua said, "I have an average friendship with him. If you mention him, I won't give you another 50 cents off."

Ji Yuanhai laughed and said: "No need to reduce, you are quite affordable here."

He could see that Yuan Zhonghua was interesting and classy, ​​and he had a lot of stuff. It would be a good idea to ask him for information.

"Sit down and talk." Yuan Zhonghua brought two matzas, handed the mazaar where the middle-aged woman was sitting just now to Ji Yuanhai, and motioned for the three of them to sit down and talk.

After Ji Yuanhai sat down, Yuan Zhonghua told him all the information he had about selling the house.

From the year before last to this year, there were only two single-family takeout restaurants in this area that Yuan Zhonghua was familiar with, and none of them have been sold until now.

Because most people have a place to live, and those who don’t have a place to live, the relevant departments will naturally take care of them.

Because there is little money in private hands, it is impossible for a house in a provincial capital to be less than 3,000 yuan. In addition, the state is still responsible for welfare housing allocation. If you find a job, you will have a house to live in, and you can get married.

Therefore, there are not many people who specifically want to spend money to buy a house, and there is rarely such a need in the market.

For example, as a normal young man, if you work hard to find a job, provide an iron rice bowl, house your wife, work and provide for her retirement, is it necessary to save extra money to buy a house?

If you don’t have a job and work odd jobs, then you can only make do with your parents at home - how shameless are you if you want the whole family to save money to buy you a house?
