As long as Mr. Zhou no longer mentioned the matter of wanting to buy flowers, Father Zhang would not be so restrained, so at this moment, he replied with a smile on his face:

"I told you a long time ago, my little daughter and uncle will be back the day after tomorrow, and the tea you asked for has also been brought, don't worry."

"Great!"

When Mr. Zhou heard that the tea he wanted would be available the day after tomorrow, he was immediately overjoyed. He quickly drank the cup of tea in his hand, and then he picked up the teapot and poured it out again without asking the owner to greet him. a cup.The tea in his home was stingy with his wife, and he was always reluctant to drink it. In the Zhang family, he didn’t have such scruples. He knew that the tea in the Zhang family was not bought from the market, but from the Zhang family’s small tea. The daughter's in-law's farm planted it herself, so Mr. Zhou didn't have the slightest psychological burden to drink such tea at Zhang's house.

"That, Mr. Zhou..."

Father Zhang just opened his mouth, and before he could say a few words, Zhou Wenqing interrupted him:

"Don't, don't, I still prefer you to be called Lao Zhou, just like before, it's better to call it that way, Lao Zhou and Lao Zhang sound more friendly."

Zhou Wenqing never liked the name "Old Zhou". Every time he was called "Old Zhou" by others, it was often with a purpose and intention, so even if there was no intention or purpose However, the title "Old Zhou" is often just a title of respect, a title that follows the crowd and represents identity and status.When he was still in the position before, that kind of title could not be changed, so he just came down with that kind of title. Now that he has retired, he wants to come according to his own preferences.

What's more, since retiring, he has concealed his background and identity. Using the most common identity, he really met a few friends with an identity like Zhang Dongsheng.Although the in-laws of the two daughters of the Zhang family are quite powerful and well-known families, Zhang Dongsheng and his wife still maintain their most essential characters. Most of the time, they are still children of the peasant family. The honesty and simplicity of Zhang Dongsheng and his wife are exactly what he likes.

Now that the layer of window paper was pierced, his identity and background were exposed, and Zhang Dongsheng and his wife also showed signs of estrangement, but he didn't want to give up these two new friends.However, it would be even better if we could really buy a pot or two of those pots of flowers and plants on Zhang's balcony!

I don't know how Zhang Dongsheng and his wife take care of the flowers and plants on their balcony. Although they are not very expensive varieties, they all grow quite distinctive. In terms of ordinary varieties, they can grow into the current Based on his many years of experience and the communication with many friends, he can also see that if he is cultivated with some techniques such as grafting, his future growth will be even more extraordinary.

After retirement, he has a lot of free time, and playing with those flowers and plants is just to pass the boring time.It's just that he wants to buy the flowers and plants planted by Zhang's family, part of which is because he really likes a few pots of them, and the biggest reason is his own father-in-law, that old man loves flowers and plants, and spends a lot of money on flowers and plants. A lot of time and energy, as well as money.Fortunately, the current flower market, especially the orchid market, is relatively weak. If this was in the heyday of the orchid market, I am afraid that his father-in-law would definitely cause family conflicts because of this preference.

After his father-in-law accidentally saw the pictures of the flowers and plants he took from the Zhang family, he really wanted to buy a few pots back home, not for anything else, but because he wanted them to grow very well in the Zhang family. On the basis of human resources, try to cultivate rarer and more precious flowers and plants through some techniques and means.His father-in-law's idea and experimental spirit are also worthy of praise and support. However, after he clearly stated the meaning of buying flowers and grass, especially his father-in-law's experimental intention After agreeing, Zhang Dongsheng and his wife never nodded their consent.

At the beginning, he and his in-laws still didn't know each other very well, and it wasn't that rare or rare flowers and plants, they just grew well, so how could they be so reluctant to sell them.So, one side wanted to buy it, the other side didn't want to sell it, and it continued like this.

Mr. Zhou has always wanted to know various reasons, so after drinking the second cup of tea in his hand, he still asked Father Zhang with a worried expression:

"I said, Lao Zhang, why are you unwilling to sell those flowers in your family? Is there some reason?"

Whatever he was worried about, he decided to come here. Father Zhang was also impatient with so many inquiries, so this time he explained it in more detail:

"Actually, those flowers are not such a rare variety at all. You can buy them for a few tens of dollars in the flower market outside. The reason why we don't want to sell them is because these flowers are given to us by Hanlu." The couple bought it. Lao Zhou, as you know, my two daughters are married too far away. Although there are telephones and computer videos, they can be easily contacted, but they are still not as close as those of the in-laws and natal families. Therefore, every time we see the flowers that Han Lu bought, we can feel the filial piety of our daughter. Let alone sell. So, Zhou, I'm sorry..."

Speaking of this, Zhang's father actually has a few words left behind: Your in-laws want to buy them home and carry out experiments on cultivating novel varieties. We are really unwilling. , I was sacrificed because of those experiments, and I always feel uncomfortable when I think about it.It’s not that we don’t know what a scientific experiment is, and what is the beauty of dedicating to science. We just don’t want to watch us helplessly because of those experiments whose success is variable and failure is negligible. The flowers and plants that have been taken care of for so long are gone forever!

Although Zhang's father didn't fully explain what Zhang's father said, Zhou Wenqing is so smart. From what Zhang's father said, he can imagine that the reason why his father-in-law can't buy Zhang's flowers is not because he simply likes them. , but because his in-laws and father-in-law bought them home to use them for experiments. This is probably the biggest and most important reason why the Zhang family is unwilling to sell those flowers.

As for what Dad Zhang said was bought by their daughter, they could feel the filial piety of their daughter through those flowers and plants. It is definitely not false, let alone fabricated, but an expression of true feelings.The two daughters of Zhang's family married far away from their in-laws' family. It's not surprising that the husband and wife would have such thoughts. How pitiful Tianxi's parents are! !

Hearing this, Zhou Wenqing also decided not to force Zhang Dongsheng and his wife anymore. It is easy to find good plants and flowers, but it is not so easy to make friends who can be said to be friends, especially It is for people with backgrounds and identities like him and his father-in-law who have enough intentions and intentions to find friends from different life classes, especially if that friend has no other purpose or intention for them , it is even more difficult.So, thinking about it this way, it is self-evident which one is more important, which one should be taken and which one should be discarded! !

"Okay, I decided to give up. Now you can rest assured, Lao Zhang?"

"Ah? Thank you!"

Hearing that Mr. Zhou had finally given up, Father Zhang was a little reluctant to believe it at first, but when he saw Mr. Zhou's firm expression, he realized that he had really heard Mr. Zhou's promise to give up, and immediately laughed with confidence. At that time, Father Zhang's smile was very relaxed and sincere, just like when he didn't know Mr. Zhou's true background and identity before.

"Hehehe, you're welcome. However, if you really want to thank me, next time I finish drinking those tea leaves and want to ask you to buy them again, you can count me in as cheap! How about this? It’s a good suggestion, right? Ah, hahaha~~~”

"What's the matter, the tea leaves are all grown by myself, there is no cost in it, no need to pay!"

"You really don't need to give money? You can do this?"

The principle Mr. Zhou upholds is that since he really wants to make friends with others, a little gift between friends can deepen their friendship. If he really refuses, or really uses If money is used to measure it, then it will hurt feelings a bit.Therefore, at this time, Mr. Zhou was not polite at this time, and asked with great interest and enthusiasm.

"Of course, this is what we all mean. Don't worry, when you finish drinking, you can come here to pick it up, and you will never charge money!"

"Then, I won't be polite!"

"Although you're welcome!"

"..."

The factors affecting the development of friendship were eliminated, and the relationship between Father Zhang and Mr. Zhou soon returned to the past.And not long after, Mr. Zhou's wife, who had been waiting for Mr. Zhou to come home for a long time, also came over. They came to find her husband, and also came to talk and chat with Mrs. Zhang part-time. The four old people said Talking about children's scriptures, talking about the affairs of the East family and the love of the West family, the atmosphere has always been very harmonious. When it was time for lunch, the old Zhou and his wife did not return to their own home, but stayed in Zhang's house, eating those delicious food meals.
