Chapter 400 Jianlan branch
"Hey, Uncle Zhang, you are watering the flowers here~"

Liu Hongxing walked into the small courtyard of Uncle Zhang's house with a smile on her face while holding Zai Zai in her arms.

Uncle Zhang lives in the front row of their house. The yard is not too big, but the old man keeps it clean and tidy.

And what is different from other families is that Uncle Zhang’s house only has a small vegetable plot, and most of the rest of the yard has been built by him with low brick walls and flower beds, which are full of all kinds of flowers.

In addition, under the window eaves and by the door of the house, there are also all kinds of plant flower pots. As soon as they entered the small courtyard, Liu Hongxing felt that the smell of the place was very fragrant, just like they used to live in Qingshui Village. At that time, the taste on the back mountain is the same.

It is the aroma surrounded by many plants, the taste of life.

"Hey Hongxing girl, isn't this our cub? Why do you two have time to come over? Come in and sit down!"

Uncle Zhang was carefully watering the flowers with a small wooden water ladle, but when he saw Liu Hongxing and his wife coming over, his face was full of smiles, and he quickly put the small wooden water ladle into the wooden bucket again. Then he greeted his wife to come into the house and sit down.

Liu Hongxing didn't say anything, and went straight into the room and sat down.

She is actually quite familiar with Uncle Zhang. Her second brother likes to play chess at the entrance of the alley whenever he has something to do. Uncle Zhang is his loyal chess friend. Grind a set of chess pieces and give it to Uncle Zhang!

"I came today to ask you something~"

Liu Hongxing smiled flatteringly, and then told the other party her intention of coming. Uncle Zhang didn't even hesitate, and agreed straight away.

"Oh, it's just this matter, don't worry! Just leave it to your uncle and me."

Uncle Zhang is an open-minded person. He had worked in the Zhaojia Village brigade next to Liucheng all his life, and he has only retired for a few years. Therefore, the strength of helping people to solve problems and solving difficulties is still deep in his bones. What he said, he patted himself on the chest in an instant to guarantee it.

"Grandpa~ Huahua is so cute~"

Zai Zai has been obsessed with growing flowers recently, so when she entered Grandpa Zhang's house, she felt as happy as if she had entered braised pork!

Hearing that Grandpa Zhang and his mother had finished talking about their business, Zai Zai made a loud voice, pointed at the flower bed outside the window, and said with a look of liking.

"Can I go up and have a look?"

"Okay, let's go, grandpa will carry you up!"

Uncle Zhang never smoked or drank all his life. His only hobby was raising some flowers and plants, but this thing is not for food, so many people can't understand him.

They feel that they can't get enough of meat these days, so where do they have so much time to feed this crap!

Most of the children in the alley are more active and mischievous, they prefer to throw sandbags and jump planes in the alley than to come to his place to watch flowers boringly.

Zai Zai was the first child who took the initiative to praise Hua Hua for his beauty and wanted to go and see Hua Hua. Uncle Zhang was so happy!

As soon as he picked up Zai Zai, he walked outside, and then gently put the child on the edge of the flower bed, with his hands dangling beside Zai Zai's arms, and then told her little by little what these things were all about. what flower...

When talking about the pot of wilting flowers that Uncle Zhang put on the wooden stool in the shade very solemnly, Zai Zai pointed and said excitedly.

"Introduce me to my family~"

"You have one? This is Jianlan!"

When Liu Hongxing heard this, this is not the rhythm of selling flowers, her family's flowers cannot be sold!So Liu Hongxing hurried forward and explained.

"Our family does have a pot of orchids, but it was left by a friend before, and it was raised by his father before his death. Although that friend has gone abroad now and gave us flowers, the flowers cannot be sold..."

Liu Hongxing explained in a somewhat difficult way that Uncle Zhang had just promised to help them, but now she turned around and said that the flowers in their family could not be sold, she was really a little embarrassed...

But the pot of Jianlan in their family had been discussed together by the family a long time ago.

At that time, Xiaosun was in a hurry to go abroad, and when he gave them 2000 yuan from the shop, he also specially asked them to treat the potted flowers well.

After all, it was something left by someone's father. Although it was given to them, it's okay for them to sell it, but it's really not very good.

So at that time, they discussed together, unless they sold this pot of flowers on the day when they could not afford to eat, or they would not easily touch the things left by their father, which would hurt Yinde!
Liu Hongxing was very embarrassed and explained the matter to Uncle Zhang in detail, and the uncle also expressed his understanding, but he really liked Jianlan, and the pot in their family seemed to be unable to support them, and they were already rotten. Rooted...

"Then can you take me to have a look? If the flowers in your house grow well, can you give me a plant? It's not a whole pot, just give me a plant!"

"Okay, that's no problem, let's go and have a look first!"

Having said all this, Liu Hongxing has no reason why I disagree, so she took Uncle Zhang and went back to her small courtyard.

Squatting on the ground, Uncle Zhang looked at this pot of Jianlan, and couldn’t put it down. Why do people grow this flower so well? Although it hasn’t reached the flowering period yet, this Jianlan has dense branches and grows very well. !

"Hongxing, uncle, please give me a small plant of this gladiolus, I promise I won't hurt this pot of yours, just give me a small plant. If you can feed, then I will give you all the money in the market!"

"Oh, what are you talking about? You just helped me so much, how can I turn around and charge you money, as long as our potted flower is fine, you can divide it as you like, I don't want money!"

Liu Hongxing really didn't want money, but she didn't expect Uncle Zhang to criticize her?
"One size counts for one size. I know that you don't care about this kind of thing, but even if it's me, you have to follow the rules, or you will suffer more in the future! You have to remember, the rules must never be broken , or it’s not easy to put yourself in a pit!"

Uncle Zhang is not a man who is short of money. He can earn a lot of retirement salary a month, and he lives alone. There is a vegetable garden and no drinking, so he can hardly spend any money, so almost all the money he saves is used by him. Growing flowers, although Jianlan is expensive, he can still afford it for a small plant.

So Uncle Zhang hurried back to his home to get his passbook to withdraw money, leaving only Liu Hongxing standing there with a dazed look at his own dazed cub...
