Chapter 84 Is a Cautious Person
"Young man, have you found the reason? What happened to Lao Li's pine tree?"

The old men who were enjoying the shade under the shade of the trees were also very enthusiastic, or they were troubled. Seeing Ji Yuanhai came back, someone immediately asked Ji Yuanhai.

Ji Yuanhai then explained: "It should be that when I bought the pine trees, there was something wrong with the soil that the seller used."

"If you change the soil, it shouldn't be a big problem."

What Ji Yuanhai said is actually not very accurate.

If he hadn't gone, it's hard to say how the welcoming pine would have recovered by just replacing the soil.

That is to say, he went and the welcoming pine was replaced with soil to ensure survival.

Thinking about it this way, the money he received was really "affordable".

After hearing Ji Yuanhai explain the reason, an old man said: "That's because the kid named Gao Daming can't do it, he didn't inherit the true ability of the hunchbacked old Gao."

"That's such a shame!"

It was getting late, and Ji Yuanhai wanted to go home, but Uncle Zhao wanted to take advantage of the crowds in the evening to sell popsicles for a while.

The two said goodbye, and Ji Yuanhai left the county seat on his bicycle and returned to Xiaoshantun.

When I got home, the sun was setting.

Wang Xiaohong was squatting by the water hole in the fence to look at the two fish that were still alive inside, when she saw Ji Yuanhai, she greeted Ji Yuanhai, "Uncle Yuanhai is here."

Lu Heling and Liu Xianglan both came out of the house.

After opening the pot and serving bowls for dinner, mother and daughter Liu Xianglan and Wang Xiaohong were also invited to stay for dinner.

After dinner, Liu Xianglan helped Lu Heling clean up the housework, and took Wang Xiaohong home.

Ji Yuanhai asked Lu Heling about today's situation.

With Liu Xianglan's help, Lu Heling got to know some people and didn't encounter any trouble at work. After finishing work, Liu Xianglan saw Lu Heling go home alone, so she brought Wang Xiaohong to accompany her.

Ji Yuanhai also talked about his gains today. He earned two yuan from Tuanjie Alley, which was more than he earned from doing odd jobs as hard labor. The most important thing is that in addition to the county family home, he made a new breakthrough.

This is more gratifying than anything.

Tomorrow Ji Yuanhai will visit Tuanjie Alley again.

Lu Heling also knew that it was not easy for rural commune members to move into the city now, and she repeatedly told Ji Yuanhai to be careful and not to get into trouble.

The couple read and studied for about three hours, then went to bed to rest and sleep.

Early the next morning, Lu Heling went to the brigade first.

At about eight o'clock, Ji Yuanhai rode his bicycle to Tuanjie Alley in the county seat.

Sure enough, I saw Uncle Zhao selling popsicles again.

Uncle Zhao was also surprised to see him. He smiled at him and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with you, a member of the production team? You won't go to work today? Your production team doesn't care about you?"

"My daughter-in-law is an accountant." Ji Yuanhai said, "Besides, what can the work points be exchanged for at the end of the year? Isn't it finally exchanged for money?"

"That's true." Uncle Zhao said, "Don't be rude to me today! Who eats at restaurants all day long!"

"Okay, I understand, uncle!"

Ji Yuanhai said.

In the morning, Ji Yuanhai encountered nothing.

In the afternoon, Lao Li came and nodded after seeing Ji Yuanhai: "I think the method you mentioned works, and the money is not for nothing."

When Lao Li said this, several old men and women became interested.

Is this young man really capable of this?

But when they heard that Lao Li had spent a "big sum" of two yuan, the old man and the old ladies all retreated.

"Young man, take a look for me for free, and I'll tell you a good-looking daughter-in-law, okay?" an old lady said.

Ji Yuanhai smiled and said, "Ma'am, I have a daughter-in-law at home!"

The old lady asked him how his wife was doing. Ji Yuanhai was quite embarrassed by such a warm greeting and was unwilling to say too much. He was really embarrassed for a while.

Until the evening, the day's harvest was zero, but I was able to talk to the old men and old ladies.

Ji Yuanhai was not discouraged either.

You know, now that he can stay here, not be reported to the street office, and can still talk, this is a huge improvement.

Not today, come tomorrow.

Go home, eat, study, sleep.

Another new day came, and Ji Yuanhai came to Tuanjie Alley again.

In the morning, a family's flower pot was broken by a child, and asked Ji Yuanhai to see if the flowers planted at home could still survive.

Ji Yuanhai took a look and asked his family to buy a flower pot and put the flowers in it without taking the money.

In the afternoon, an old man suddenly walked over quickly and said to Ji Yuanhai: "The street office is coming, hurry up!"

Without hesitation, Ji Yuanhai immediately got on his bicycle and rode away from the other side of Tuanjie Alley.

Back in Xiaoshantun, Ji Yuanhai felt a little self-deprecating.

The harvest is really not optimistic.

Compared with Mr. Wang in the county family home, Tuanjie Alley does have more life and fireworks, but the harvest is indeed small.

There are also people on the streets of the county town wandering around from time to time...

That night, when Lu Heling heard about Ji Yuanhai's affairs, he was more worried than Ji Yuanhai, for fear that Ji Yuanhai would be hit by it.

So try to accommodate him with the utmost tenderness and make him feel more comfortable physically and mentally.

It's a pity that he can't fight for a long time, and he has to do accounting work tomorrow, so Ji Yuanhai only played with her twice before letting her fall into a deep sleep.

The next day, Ji Yuanhai went to the county seat again.

I didn’t go to Tuanjie Alley this time, and I’m not willing to take risks again in the short term.

So he went to the county family home.

Mr. Wang's flowers and plants are growing well, so Ji Yuanhai doesn't need to worry too much.

What made Ji Yuanhai more gratified was that Mr. Wang said that Wang Zhuyun's books were well preserved and could be sent to Ji Yuanhai today.

"I estimate that today is also the day you will come."

"As soon as I told Xiaoyun, she decided to come over today and give the book to you personally."

"This little girl is quite particular about rituals, saying that this is a mutual gift between classmates, and it is also an elegant thing."

After hearing this, Ji Yuanhai quickly expressed his gratitude.

Before Wang Zhuyun came, Mr. Wang said another thing: "Xiao Ji, I followed your instructions and asked casually in the past two days. I really haven't encountered any place where you need to use your skills."

"There is one thing. He took the initiative to come to the door."

"That director Bai came to me yesterday to ask a question."

"He said that he had two pots of flowers that were not very prosperous. He knew that you were an expert in growing flowers and plants, and wanted you to help take a look at the situation; but he didn't know when you would come to the county, so he came to me and asked me to help Tell you a favor."

"If you come to the county seat, go to his house to see the situation and help him look at the flowers and plants."

Ji Yuanhai was stunned for a moment: "Director Bai?"

"Yes, Director Bai." Mr. Wang said, "This matter... I'm not saying that you should or should not, but I'm just telling you that Director Bai is a very serious person."

"You have to be careful and make decisions carefully."

"If you're [-]% sure, it's better to say [-]%; if you're [-]% sure, it's better to say no."

This was the first time Ji Yuanhai heard Mr. Wang commenting on Director Bai like this.

I suddenly felt again that Mr. Wang actually observes people and has his own standards.

As for why Ji Yuanhai, a country boy, managed to catch his eye, it was a coincidence. Let's start from the beginning.

"Well, I understand Mr. Wang."

Ji Yuanhai said to Mr. Wang: "If it really doesn't work, I won't help. He can't do anything to me."

Mr. Wang smiled and nodded: "Go, go, go back quickly."

"After a while, Xiaoyun will come and lend you the book, and you two will stay for lunch at noon."

"You have to have a few sips with me, I have good wine here!"

Ji Yuanhai did not refuse this time, but said with a smile: "If you drink again, Grandma Yuan will really be angry!"

"Don't care about her!" Old Mr. Wang waved his hand and laughed quite boldly.

Suddenly, Ji Yuanhai felt something was wrong with his gaze. He followed his gaze and saw that his wife was at the door, looking over with an unkind expression.

Mr. Wang suddenly had a smile on his face, and then pointed at Ji Yuanhai: "Xiao Ji, dig a hole for me!"

Ji Yuanhai said with a smile: "You should drink less alcohol, this is definitely a good thing!"

"What do you know? Wine is the essence of food. The more you drink, the younger you become——"

Before she finished speaking, Grandma Yuan snorted, "How young do you want to be?"

Mr. Wang glared at Ji Yuanhai: "Xiao Ji, you are too bad...

Ji Yuanhai smiled and raised his hand to say goodbye and left Mr. Wang's house.

After passing two rows of houses, Ji Yuanhai went to Director Bai's house and knocked on the door.

Coincidentally, Director Bai happened to be at home today.

As soon as he opened the door and saw Ji Yuanhai, Director Bai smiled and said, "Xiao Ji is here?"

"Come, come, come in and help me take a look, these potted flowers of mine..."

Ji Yuanhai greeted "Hello, Director Bai", followed him to the flowers and plants, and fell silent.

Director Bai's hobby is pine bonsai, which is a bonsai with prominent peaks and high spirits like a spear.

At this moment, in the middle of such a circle of aggressive bonsai, there are actually five pots of ordinary flowers and plants.

Green bamboos, orchids, narcissus, and two pots of chrysanthemums.

This strange composition shows a group of strong men shouting and killing, surrounded by five girls, which is particularly unconventional.

Of course, it wasn't just this reason that kept Ji Yuanhai silent.

But he had seen these five pots before, just under the shade of the tree where Uncle Zhao used to sell popsicles, and above where the stall was set up a few days ago.

Is it a coincidence?Did Director Bai buy these five bonsais for just [-] cents each?

Coincidence is a ghost!
Director Bai is waiting for him to come to your door!
Ji Yuanhai grinned, and quietly clenched his fists.

Don't force me, don't force me... I won't do anything that is too dark and dangerous, so don't force me to do it either.

Otherwise, you really can only...

Turning around, he looked at Director Bai with a smile still on his face: "Director Bai, is this boring for you?"

"If you have something to say, can't you just say it directly? Why do you have to go around in such circles?"

Director Bai clapped his hands slightly, with a smile on his face: "Oh, Xiao Ji, you are really amazing!"

He turned around and shouted to a house inside: "Da Ming!"

"Tell me about you, can you compare with Xiao Ji? You are not as good as others in planting flowers and plants, and you are not as good as others in dealing with the world. You are far behind!"

As he shouted, the door opened.

The flower stall owner with a fat face and bloodshot eyes came out and whispered: "Director Bai, I really can't do anything."

He nodded to Ji Yuanhai again, but said nothing.

Ji Yuanhai had a feeling of "as expected".

Seeing these five potted flowers, and confirming that Director Bai was waiting for him to come to the door, the whole thing became very logical.

It was Director Bai who asked this "Da Ming" to wait for Ji Yuanhai to set up a stall next to the county family courtyard; today, he is also waiting for Ji Yuanhai.

Even Ji Yuanhai was able to put together another piece of the puzzle in his mind.

This "Da Ming" with a fat face and bloodshot eyes should be Gao Daming, the hunchbacked Lao Gao's son.

He inherited his father's business and was really not very good at growing flowers and plants.

Therefore, Director Bai took Gao Daming into consideration and asked Ji Yuanhai to participate—it was still related to flowers and plants.

The three men stood in front of the pine bonsai and five pots of flowers and fell into silence for a few seconds.

Afterwards, it was Ji Yuanhai who continued to speak: "Director Bai, we have reached this point, let's just open the skylight and speak honestly."

"What do you need this 'Da Ming' for? I really have no right or ability to ask."

"What do you need me to do? You still have to tell me clearly about this."

"Otherwise we won't be able to continue talking."

Director Bai smiled and nodded: "No rush, no rush."

"Young people just like to be anxious."

"Take care of these five pots of flowers first. After a while, the three of us will have lunch and drink some wine together. Only when we have wine and food can we talk."

Ji Yuanhai shook his head.

Director Bai's face suddenly darkened: "What? You don't want to give me face?"

Ji Yuanhai said calmly: "Director Bai, it's not that I don't want to give you face, but Mr. Wang's granddaughter has something to do with me today."

"At noon, I have to have dinner with Mr. Wang and Grandma Yuan. I can't participate in your drinking party."

"If you have something to do, wouldn't it be better to say it directly now?"

Director Bai suddenly frowned after hearing this: Does this guy have such a deep relationship with the Wang family?

Isn't he just a country boy who grows flowers and plants?

Feeling suspicious in my heart, I asked one more question: "Old Wang's granddaughter, are you talking about Xiaolan?"

Ji Yuanhai secretly scolded this man for being really sick, and his paranoia had penetrated into his bones.

"I'm talking about Mr. Wang's granddaughter Wang Zhuyun."

After hearing this, Director Bai believed it.

This kid's relationship with the Wang family is getting closer...it's not good.

But Gao Daming, a loser, is not going anywhere. If he is expected to continue setting up a stall to sell flowers and plants, Director Bai may have to lose money, not to mention making money.

If you can't completely tie up this little gardener from the countryside, then you can only hire him?

Moreover, no more things can be revealed to him.

Originally Director Bai wanted to reveal his dominant identity, but now he has to add another layer of protection for the sake of safety.

He wanted to become a kind-hearted person and introduce reliable employees to Gao Daming, and proceed in this direction.

After thinking about it for more than ten seconds, Director Bai laughed dryly.

"Xiao Ji, it seems that Daming's sincerity really scared you."

"In that case, let me tell you about the whole process."

"Actually, that's the case. I bought the pine tree sold by Daming. It doesn't grow well. Can you help me change the soil and treat it?"

"I went to ask Daming what was going on, and Daming burst into tears. He said that he also wanted to finish the stall passed down from his father, but because of his limited ability, he really couldn't do it well."

"I said, if you can't do it well, I know someone who can do it well. He is very capable of planting flowers and grass, so I recommended Xiao Ji to him."

"As a meeting gift and a test of your ability, Daming decided to set up a stall to let you save a few pots of flowers and plants, and then pay you a reward - so that you are good and I am good to everyone."

"I said so, do you understand?"

Ji Yuanhai smiled: "I understand, I understand."

There is no need for you to intimidate Gao Daming, take advantage of me, wait for me, be ready to go, and beautify it, that's it.

Look at Gao Daming, he's almost crying...

You must be excited to see me, right?
At the same time, Ji Yuanhai heaved a long sigh of relief.

Thanks to Mr. Wang and Wang Zhuyun, this tiger skin scared away the evil wolf.

If I completely give everything to Director Bai to control - who knows what it will be like!
But now, Director Bai said that Gao Daming wanted to hire Ji Yuanhai.

It would be much simpler if Ji Yuanhai was hired just for his ability to grow flowers and plants; anyone can work to make money, and as long as he can solve a little trouble, Director Bai can't control himself.

"Since this is the case, Director Bai, this is not easy."

Ji Yuanhai said again.

Director Bai's eyes narrowed directly: "It's not easy?"

"Xiao Ji, Daming is very sincere. Do you think this matter is difficult?"

Ji Yuanhai said: "Director Bai, I'm telling the truth, I really didn't quit on purpose."

"You know that I am a member of the Guashan Commune, and I still have to participate in labor. It is already the limit to help Mr. Wang look at the flowers and plants in the name of visiting relatives or other things every few days."

"How do I solve this problem if I want to accept employment?"

"That's it?" Director Bai was surprised, and then said with a smile: "That's not easy, why don't you just change your identity?"

"Bring your household registration, Daming will help you handle it, and it will take three days."

Director Bai had made up his mind to leave everything to Gao Daming.

Gao Daming was on the sidelines, he didn't even dare to say a fart, and he nodded his head when Director Bai said anything.

Bring the household registration to Director Bai...

The main reason is that this guy is not a good guy at all, and you can have as little contact with him as possible.

Resolute refusal is also not acceptable, this Director Bai is still a suspicious person.

Maybe he thought that Ji Yuanhai would be his enemy, or something like that.

Ji Yuanhai fell into thinking. After a few seconds, he suddenly smiled: "Director Bai, I have another person to recommend."

"You help her transfer her household registration, and then she will help take care of the flowers and plants. Of course, I will definitely help with my full help."

"How about it?"

What Ji Yuanhai thought about was that he was afraid of the trouble in this aspect, but there were some people who were not afraid.

I just happen to know that a poor person is not afraid of anything at all, maybe it would be better if he made a fuss about it.

Director Bai had a strange expression after listening to Ji Yuanhai's words.

He understood what Ji Yuanhai meant and patted him on the shoulder with appreciation.

"Interesting, interesting."

"Xiao Ji, you are a cautious person."

"If you want to do this, I feel more at ease with you."

"When you come back in three days, bring that person's household registration and bring that person over. We will decide the matter then."

 Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a monthly pass!
