"This place belongs to us from now on!"

Liu Xianglan walked in and out of the shop and said happily.

In a small alley to the south of the market, there is a small house along the street that can accommodate all these flowers and plants, as well as a bed.

There are also stalls in front.

As if in a dream, it belongs to Liu Xianglan.

"Yes, this place will be ours from now on."

While Ji Yuanhai was talking, he watered the flowers and plants randomly.

As he watered, the flowers and plants seemed to have a little more vitality.

In Liu Xianglan's opinion, this was obviously because Gao Daming did not water the flowers and plants, which almost made them thirsty to death.

"This Gao Daming is too lazy...he who works in the flower shop doesn't even want to water it." Liu Xianglan was talking while helping Ji Yuanhai water the flowers and busy tidying up the flowers and plants.

Some flowers and plants had indeed begun to turn yellow, and even looked like they would not survive. Liu Xianglan was thinking in her mind as she was cleaning them up.

She knew all the existing flowers and plants in her mind, and she also had a rough idea of ​​the price at which they would be sold.

But after selling this batch, you have to restock or start raising seedlings yourself.

And winter is coming soon, and many flowers and plants cannot be kept alive.

In addition, in order to save money on hiring people, Liu Xianglan had to learn to write and read in addition to working.

Indeed, there are many things...

"The place is our own. You can live here if you want in the future. You can also bring Xiaohong to live in the city. It will be more convenient to come and go."

Ji Yuanhai said.

Liu Xianglan was also startled when she heard this. She didn't expect it to be like this.

Yes, no one is in charge now. Both she and Wang Xiaohong have become registered residents of Qingshan County. Of course, if they want to live here in the county, then they should live here.

However, Liu Xianglan then shook her head: "Isn't this possible? How much does it cost to live in the county? We need money everywhere, so we might as well go home."

"Anyway, I have a bicycle, so I can only go home for a while."

"What about winter?" Ji Yuanhai reminded, "In winter, if some flowers and plants want to survive, they have to burn the stove all day long and not catch the cold."

"We'll talk about it then..." Liu Xianglan said, "I still have to learn to write and count, and learn to keep accounts clearly."

Ji Yuanhai also nodded after hearing this: "When we take over, we have to take over even the things that Gao Daming did before. It is indeed a bit busy - I have to help you for ten days and eight days, keep accounts, and teach you how to keep accounts. There are other things we have to deal with."

Liu Xianglan originally didn't want to delay Ji Yuanhai's time, but now everything in the whole store is overwhelming. She was just a handyman, so she had to learn many things by hand, and she really couldn't do without Ji Yuanhai.

From that day on, Ji Yuanhai taught Liu Xianglan how to read, write, and count while keeping accounts and taking care of flowers and plants.

In just two days, all the flowers and plants have basically returned to life, and Liu Xianglan can start selling flowers again at the same price as before.

Because Gao Daming is no longer around, the flowers and plants have become more vibrant again, and some familiar faces are willing to come over to take a look and pick something to choose from.

Liu Xianglan patiently introduced it to others. If there were any flaws, Ji Yuanhai would correct them.

In just a few days, the flower and plant shop can slowly open for business again, no longer just displaying flowers and plants.

Liu Xianglan also studied very seriously. Ji Yuanhai kept accounts once, and the next time she followed the accounting below. Although it was stumbling and ugly, she finally got on the road slowly and was able to write and read.

She didn't need to write anything else, she just wrote it in order. She probably sold a pot of flowers and grasses and charged how much. If I really can’t write, I can just write that I sold a pot of flowers, and I can still keep accounts.

"Yuan Hai, there have been several stores asking for plum blossoms recently, and some have asked us if we sell daffodil roots. Are we going to buy some?"

"There are only two or three pots of plum blossoms in the store. In winter, pine trees, bamboos, and plum blossoms that can survive the winter will definitely sell better. Narcissus bloom in winter, and some people want to buy some roots to take home and plant narcissus..." Liu Xianglan told Ji Yuanhai that day Let’s talk about the issue of purchasing.

"What's the purchase price?" Ji Yuanhai asked.

"I really don't know about this. I have to go to the place where Gao Daming went to enter the flowers and ask." Liu Xianglan said, got on her bicycle and went out.

Liu Xianglan came back not long after, with an angry expression on her face: "They bully students!"

"I feel like I just took over Gao Daming's shop and I don't know anything about it. He offered me such a high price."

"According to the price they gave us, we bought a pot of plum blossoms, fortunately we worked hard to cultivate them, and finally sold them, and we only made fifty cents!"

"How can this be called making money? This is called making money for his family. All the money is spent on purchasing goods, so how can the business be done?"

Ji Yuanhai smiled: "If that's the case, we don't need to buy from him, we can grow it ourselves."

"Grow it yourself?" Liu Xianglan was surprised, "How long will it take?"

"It won't take long."

Ji Yuanhai asked Liu Xianglan to prepare flower pots and soil, cut off some branches from several pots of plum blossoms in the store, and insert them directly.

"After a while, when they grow about the same, you can prune them and propagate them again."

"Same for pine trees, and so for bamboos. As long as other flowers and plants are out of stock, we will come here."

Liu Xianglan nodded, overjoyed: "If this can happen, we won't have to spend any more money to enter!"

"Some flowers still need to be paid for..."

Ji Yuanhai thought that the flowers and plants planted by Mr. Wang were of high quality. Maybe he should find an opportunity to get some branches and leaves, and get a few treasures for his small shop, such as precious orchids, say dozens at least, many more. Say it's two to three hundred, even if it doesn't sell, it can still attract some people to look at it.

"By the way, bring me the bill and write down that I purchased five pots of plum blossoms today."

Ji Yuanhai said to Liu Xianglan.

If the increase in assets that he has made by his own ability is simply included in the profits and distributed to Director Bai, that would not be appropriate. Costs should be deducted where costs should be deducted.

Director Bai received 50% of the profit from the revenue, which was enough reward from Era Hai.

Liu Xianglan nodded and wrote down how much it cost to purchase five pots of plum blossoms.

After a few busy days, the cut plum blossoms took root and grew well.

Liu Xianglan has learned almost enough, and Ji Yuanhai no longer comes to the county every day, but resumes the habit of visiting the flower shop once every three days.

As for Mr. Wang's home, although Ji Yuanhai said he would visit him during the Chinese New Year, he still found an opportunity to visit, show him the flowers and plants, and cut some branches and leaves.

Mr. Wang was very surprised by Ji Yuanhai's visit, and talked to Ji Yuanhai for a long time.

Some of them were trivial things like planting flowers and grass, and I asked a few questions about the current situation of Ji Yuanhai.

Ji Yuanhai didn't say anything else. He just told Mr. Wang that study and work would continue as usual.

Mr. Wang also encouraged him a few words, and by the way, he told Ji Yuanhai that his son Wang Wenbo came a few days ago and asked a few questions about Bai Shouyan. His words had no beginning or end. Know what it means.

Ji Yuanhai then told the story about Bai Shouyan who was almost overturned.

This matter was not done by Wang Wenbo, but by a rather big local gangster from the street office.

After hearing this, Mr. Wang was very satisfied: "Wenbo, this kid didn't mess around this time, I feel relieved... If it had been eight years ago, this kid would have been so reckless, without seeing the consequences, offending people first! "

"This time, if he takes action and takes away your job...then I will really feel sorry for you and I won't know how to deal with it."

"Mr. Wang, your words are too serious, really too serious!"

Ji Yuanhai said: "Based on our friendship, even if Brother Wang really does it, it will definitely affect me unintentionally. What else can I have against you?"

After hearing this, Mr. Wang still shook his head and said, "Fortunately, he didn't do it. If he did, I couldn't spare him."

It is true that every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. The knot between Mr. Wang and his son Wang Wenbo cannot be opened in a short time.

Unknowingly, another month passed. Director Bai passed by this day and took a look at the account book. He found that although Liu Xianglan's font was ugly, he recorded every stroke in a down-to-earth manner, which felt good.

Looking at the flowers and plants for sale, there are wonderful pines, proud plum blossoms, and tall green bamboos. There are also a bunch of narcissus root balls and other flowers and plants. They are all growing well, and Director Bai is even more satisfied.

"Xiao Ji is such a talent..." Director Bai sighed and looked at Liu Xianglan, "Tell Xiao Ji and settle the payment."

"I will come over and buy a pot of plum blossoms then."

Liu Xianglan nodded, indicating that she remembered.

I went home that night and told Ji Yuanhai about Director Bai's request.

Ji Yuanhai consolidated the revenue and profits the next day, made a rough summary, copied another copy, and prepared it for Director Bai along with the money.

Because the weather is getting colder, even if the flower shop has a good reputation and the flowers and plants are of good quality, this month is still not considered the peak season. After deducting the cost and sharing half of the profit, Director Bai can only get more than a hundred yuan.

Ji Yuanhai and Liu Xianglan were able to get two hundred yuan in profit, plus the purchase price that should have been deducted.

After the division, Liu Xianglan's hands trembled as she listened to the amount mentioned by Ji Yuanhai.

Even though she usually pays a few yuan for a pot of flowers to take out, she knew that she would definitely make money in the end, much more than farming, but she never expected to make so much in the end.

"Yuan Hai...we really made a lot of money!"

Liu Xianglan said tremblingly.

Ji Yuanhai reminded her: "Think carefully about why our profits are so high."

"The flowers and plants in our shop are better. This is one thing. You should also notice that Zhao's shop is almost red with business being robbed. If we weren't afraid that someone was behind us, we would definitely take action again."

"Also, our shop doesn't hire any extra people. If we both need wages, it will cost another fifty or sixty yuan..."

Liu Xianglan counted on her fingers and nodded: "It's true, save a little here and a little more there, and that's how you make money."

"If the business is not close, if we split the money with others, no matter how high the cost is, our small business can barely make ends meet."

"After all, Yuan Hai, you are good at growing flowers and plants, that's why you can make so much money."

"With so much money, what will we do next?"

"What can I do? I can't do anything for the time being..." Ji Yuanhai said, "Eat well, drink well and dress well, that's all."

"That's good!" Liu Xianglan said with satisfaction.

There were no outsiders in the shop, so she couldn't help but reach out and hug Ji Yuanhai: "Yuanhai, I feel like I've been in a dream for the past six months..."

"Yuan Hai, if it weren't for you, Xiaohong and I might have both starved to death by now. I'm so happy..."

Ji Yuanhai turned his head and looked at her, their eyes meeting each other.

Liu Xianglan hugged him tightly, buried her face in his chest, and pressed closer and closer.

It seems that she wants to put him into her heart, and she also seems to want to let herself live in his heart.

Two days later, Director Bai came and bought a pot of plum blossoms.

As long as it was safe, he was quite satisfied with the harvest.

The flower shop is back to normal, and Era Sea has resumed its original activities.

I go to the county town once every two or three days, and study at home the rest of the time. Occasionally I catch some fish to improve the food for the Ji family, and sometimes I give it to Uncle Qi and Captain Ge to try.

As time passed, even Captain Ge could tell that Ji Yuanhai's daughter-in-law was temporarily acting as an accountant while preparing for the college entrance examination. She did not seek to become an official accountant. She clearly wanted to temporarily act as an accountant until next year's college entrance examination.

Captain Ge didn't want to get involved in this matter. After eating six or seven fish sent by Yuan Hai, Captain Ge followed the opinions of Ji Yaotian and Ji Yuan Hai.

Time has rushed forward for more than a month, and we have entered the twelfth lunar month, not long before the New Year.

On this day, when Ji Yuanhai entered the city, Liu Xianglan talked about something.

"I heard that there was a meeting just now, and you don't need a bicycle ticket to buy a bicycle?"

There was a meeting above...

Ji Yuanhai was startled after hearing this. It turned out that the spring breeze had begun to blow unknowingly.

That means that individual business licenses and the return of educated youths to cities are all about to begin.

Including land contracting, we also began to promote it, and it took a few years to replace the current rural collective production brigade model.

Later, they went to work in cities, went to sea to do business, became households worth ten thousand yuan, and became migrant workers...

These familiar words are about to make their debut.

After coming back to his senses, Ji Yuanhai said: "Sister Liu, since there is no bicycle ticket restriction, why don't you buy a bicycle?"

"We share a bicycle, which is sometimes inconvenient."

Liu Xianglan shook her head: "Don't spend this money. It's getting cold now. I have to burn the stove every day to keep some flowers and plants from dying; I don't have much when I go home, so I don't need a bicycle."

"Especially those pots of expensive orchids you mentioned. They cost almost 600 yuan in total. It would be very distressing if one of them died."

"Xiaohong misses you sometimes. Can I send Xiaohong to stay with you?" Ji Yuanhai asked.

After Liu Xianglan thought for a while, she shook her head.

"I feel safe when Xiaohong is in the village, but not in the city. If she gets lost accidentally, I don't know how to find her back."

Ji Yuanhai came back from the county. As soon as he entered Xiaoshan Village, he saw seven educated youths whispering in front of the team headquarters, with excitement that could not be concealed on their faces.

After seeing Ji Yuanhai, several educated youths turned their faces again.

When Era Sea was far away, the seven educated youths couldn't help but laugh softly.

"Lu Heling must be dumbfounded this time, we can go back to the city!" Cao Jianhong said with a smile, "She has only been married for half a year, and her status as an educated youth has been lost. She has become a rural registered permanent resident and cannot return to the city! We can all go back to the city and become city residents. Got it!"

"When she finds out, she will definitely cry!" Another educated youth also said with a smile.

Ma Bin snorted: "Just wait and regret it! Stay in the countryside for the rest of your life and live a life for that rural commune member Ji Yuanhai! Work all day and night——"

At this point, Ma Bin was a little bit speechless. Lu Heling really didn't work every day. She was now acting as an accountant in the production team, doing calculations every day. The rest of the time she just studied with books and prepared for next year's college entrance examination.

After thinking about it, I had to add another sentence: "Whether she can pass the college entrance examination is hard to say!"

Several educated youths looked at each other, knowing that this was not necessarily true.

The main reason is that Lu Heling has always been more knowledgeable than them, and now she is basically preparing for the college entrance examination with all her strength.

If Lu Heling failed the college entrance examination, then they would fail even more.

I can only hope in my heart that Lu Heling really does not have good academic performance, really can't get into college, and can't become a city dweller - thinking about this makes me feel a lot happy.

"After all, we have to be careful during this period of time!"

Cheng Weiguo said cautiously: "Don't offend the villagers, especially Secretary Ji, Ji Yuanhai, and Lu Heling. Otherwise, it's hard to say whether we can get the return certificate!"

He has learned his lesson and must not cause problems again.

When the other six educated youth heard this, they all believed it.

Now that things have reached this point, be sure not to cause problems again.

Cao Jianhong said: "Our problem is not too big, and Ji Yuanhai and the others don't seem to hold any grudges."

"Cheng Weiguo, Ma Bin, can you two do it?"

Cheng Weiguo almost made a mistake and was specially modified by the production team. In the past three months, his waist was almost unable to straighten due to fatigue, and his skin and palms turned a brown color. He looked more like a rural person than a rural commune member.

Not to mention Ma Bin, he made a real mistake and was detained for ten days. He is considered a bad element.

I was also tortured a lot by the production team.

Will the production team let them go back to the city now? Will they be picked up and stuck in the countryside?

Just thinking about it like this makes them feel unsure.

The Chinese New Year is getting closer and closer, and some people have begun to lose control and suggest that the production team kill pigs to celebrate the New Year.

Throughout the year, during the Chinese New Year, every household can eat pork. Adults can receive two white flour steamed buns, and children can receive one white flour steamed bun.

So everyone is looking forward to it.

In the hope of these commune members, Cao Jianhong, Zhu Weihua and other five educated youths successively approached the brigade secretary Ji Baotian to receive proof of their return to the city.

After receiving the certificate, they quickly packed their luggage and left this remote mountain village forever as if they were running away, never daring to come back for the rest of their lives.

Ma Bin and Cheng Weiguo went to brigade secretary Ji Baotian several times, but were reprimanded each time.

People like them who have ideological problems still want to be among the first to return to the city? Let’s stay in the countryside and improve it.

Seeing Ji Baotian not letting go, Ma Bin and Cheng Weiguo really cried.

It's not fake crying, it's really holding my head and crying.

I regret that I was confused and made a mistake in the first place, and I regretted that I had nothing to do!

"Secretary Ji, please tell us a clear path, what should we do... We have to go home!"
