Chapter 55
At the insistence of Mr. Wang and his wife, Ji Yuanhai accepted the matter after declining again.

Mr. Wang is a person who likes elegance and did not discuss with Ji Yuanhai how much money would be appropriate. After seeing Ji Yuanhai agree, he laughed and took Ji Yuanhai to see the flowers and plants besides Song Mei.

Ji Yuanhai really doesn't know much about the names of flowers and plants, their living characteristics and habits.

Mr. Wang is a half-expert in this field - if Ji Yuanhai is really an expert and gives him advice on how to plant flowers and plants, then he may think that Ji Yuanhai talks too much and is not modest enough.

Every time he came to a pot of flowers, Ji Yuanhai just listened to his eloquent introduction in silence, and tried his best to remember what he said, so as not to forget it when he came again next time.

After Mr. Wang finished speaking, he had a good time and asked, "Xiao Ji, what do you think?"

Ji Yuanhai went up to touch the plants: "I think this pot is okay, the sun is a little stronger..."

"That's right, that's right, I think so too! I just said that it has been a little wilted for the past two days... watering too much doesn't help, or the summer sun is too poisonous!"

Old Mr. Wang agreed deeply, nodded repeatedly, and even said to the silver-haired woman: "Look, Xiao Ji can make a point in everything!"

"It must be that Xiao Ji has high skills!"

"Where is there, Mr. Wang, how can I replace your hard work in taking care of the flowers and plants with a few words?" Ji Yuanhai said with a smile, not taking credit at all.

The more he behaves like this, the more Mr. Wang likes him.

Especially as a commune member from the countryside, he is a young man who is neither humble nor overbearing. Even if he is polite and humble, he looks straight ahead with his eyes straight and his back straight, not the humble and honest ordinary peasant who came to the city with his head and shoulders shrunk.

After looking around at the flowers and plants, Mr. Wang invited Ji Yuanhai to sit down and talk.

"Xiao Ji, you just said that you are going to the city to find a job?"

Ji Yuanhai nodded: "Yes, Mr. Wang, I have ideas in this regard."

"What kind of work are you going to do?" Mr. Wang asked.

Ji Yuanhai smiled: "Mr. Wang, you are really flattering me by asking this question. Nowadays, when members go to the city to find jobs, how can they have any choice? If there are any job opportunities, I have to go and try them."

Mr. Wang was surprised: "Your ability to grow flowers and grass is rare in the whole Qingshan County. Why should you take your luck like this?"

"It's not bad to open a flower and bird shop, right?"

Ji Yuanhai organized his language and said, "What about this, Mr. Wang, let me tell you the truth, don't laugh at me."

"I come from a rural area and really don't have much money to open a store like this."

"Furthermore, the restrictions in all aspects are not small now. It is not so easy for a commune member to open a shop in the city to do business."

"One more thing, the distance to and from the commute is not particularly convenient."

In fact, there is another point, Ji Yuanhai did not say that he met Mr. Wang because he came to the family home.In fact, in this era, with the daily consumption capacity of a small Qingshan county, it is really hard to say what the flowering bird shop will be like.

"That's true...that's true." Mr. Wang nodded and repeated, no longer trying to persuade him to open a store in the county.

He also said: "It's just that you are so young and have a good ability to grow flowers and grass; it would be a pity if you just do odd jobs and coolies."

"Xiao Ji, do you have any plans for the future?"

Ji Yuanhai replied: "I plan to study this year and take the college entrance examination next year."

"Okay!" Mr. Wang's eyes lit up, and he patted the sofa and stood up involuntarily, "I just said that you are pleasing to the eye. You are indeed a well-educated person!"

"Xiao Ji, you are right to take the college entrance examination!"

"Now that the college entrance examination has resumed, the demand for knowledge and culture everywhere is like waiting for the rain after a long drought, and every place attaches great importance to this matter."

"If you get admitted to college, all the constraints you just mentioned will no longer exist for you!"

Ji Yuanhai saw that he was so elated, as if he had already been admitted to university, so he was polite and modest, saying that it was not certain.

Mr. Wang got excited and laughed and said: "In my opinion, this is for sure. Xiao Ji, you are different from others. If others cannot pass the exam, you will definitely be able to pass it!"

After finishing speaking, he asked Ji Yuanhai to talk again, and even rummaged through the bookcase, saying that he wanted to find some books for Ji Yuanhai that would be used for the college entrance examination.

It's just that his own books have already been screened, and there are not many left, and he searched and searched, but he couldn't find the right one.

I just found a good world map for Ji Yuanhai, and let him have a look at it to master the knowledge of geography.

Ji Yuanhai thanked him and took it solemnly.

Mr. Wang then left him to have lunch, and Ji Yuanhai quickly stood up and left.

Mr. Wang's wife handed another handkerchief to Ji Yuanhai.

When Ji Yuanhai took it in his hand, he showed surprise.

"This...this is too much!"

"Your ability is worthy of this!" Mr. Wang said, "Besides, this is not just a day or two. If I give you these, I won't talk to you about this aspect in the next three months."

"Old Wang, how can it be once every three months?" Ji Yuanhai said, "There is no reason to give it three months in advance..."

Mr. Wang waved his hand: "We are all people who love the mountains, rivers, flowers and plants, so let's not argue about this anymore."

"Xiao Ji, I believe in your ability and your character."

"Don't you even have that confidence?"

Ji Yuanhai finally felt relieved: "Old Wang, if you say that, I will accept it without hesitation!"

"I will definitely help you correct your Song Mei into a perfect shape, and I will also help you take good care of your flowers and plants."

"This is my confidence, what I can do for you!"

"Okay, Xiao Ji!" Mr. Wang sent him to the door, "Besides my flowers and plants, there is one other thing that you must take care of."

"Please tell me." Ji Yuanhai said.

"The remuneration given to you may not make you suddenly rich, but it will always allow you to live comfortably for a few months."

Mr. Wang said: "Xiao Ji, don't rush to make money, study hard and prepare for the college entrance examination."

"Knowledge and culture once entered into the brain are worth a thousand dollars; getting into college is also a great opportunity that is rare in your life."

Ji Yuanhai looked at this elegant and flower-loving old man who was an "anthropomorphic" old man who used to seek life and death for an orchid. At this moment, his eyes were slightly cloudy with the characteristics of the elderly, and his concern for himself was unadulterated, full of the expectations of the elders for the younger generation. .

"Old Wang, I will remember your advice."

"I will definitely try my best to get into college."

Ji Yuanhai said seriously.

This is not only a promise to Mr. Wang, but also a promise to himself.

When he arrived at the gatekeeper's office of the family courtyard, Ji Yuanhai greeted Uncle Dong: "Uncle Dong, let me get my basket."

Uncle Dong smiled immediately: "Are you done?"

"Well, Mr. Dong, I'm done."

"Okay, you didn't cause trouble for me this time!" Uncle Dong said.

Ji Yuanhai asked: "Are you still hot? Shall I get you another popsicle?"

"Don't... don't take it, I can't eat too much of this with my teeth!" Uncle Dong said.

"Then I'll get you something else next time." Ji Yuanhai said.

Uncle Dong thought he was joking and didn't care, so he agreed casually.
