C78 Watching the Flowers Play Mahjong
"Flowers decorate the New Year, waiting for the flowers to bloom. The entertainment of the people is looking forward to a happy omen for life. " - - - A cursive poem.
Of course, the young people like Xinzi and Stranglethorn Green could not bear to spit in the face of the day. No matter how proud they were, they still loved the life of blooming flowers in their hearts. They were even more willing to dress up beautifully and embellish life than their elders.
When Xia Jianqing brought his parents to visit Grandma Xia, he held a small basin and a large bouquet of flowers in his hands - that night, in the middle of the night, He put the words "New Year's Day, East River New City, Bitter Flower Shop. What do the residents want to buy for the New Year? " He posted a post on his blog and looked at the villa that was filled with warmth because of the return of his parents. He couldn't sleep at all. The next day, he finally woke up early in the morning. He drove to the flower farm in the effective area to buy flowers that symbolized festivity for his parents and elders. She also bought eight types of bonsai and asked the flower company to send them to the north bank. It was convenient for her to install a new apartment.
Rao Lina received the eight flowers. When she looked closely, she could not find a single rose. At first, she was happy, but she was angry. She wanted to be angry, but she could not bear to say that she was happy. Instead, it made it difficult to find a sweet feeling in her heart to welcome the new year. She did not even want to give a polite thank you to Thorned Flower Green.
Thorned Flower Grass did not have the energy to care about this. After Xia Yan returned home, he pulled him around East River New City every day. He even ran from one end of the Yangxia River all the way to the outskirts of the city. On the other end, Xia Yanqing was so tired that he almost ignored the "New City Night Words" and ran back to the south bank.
Xia Yan quickly said, We need to understand the actual situation of East River New City's construction and development. We need to make an objective and reasonable evaluation of our future lives. However, his face would occasionally reveal a satisfied and emotional smile, which made Xia Thorned Green understand - it was already impossible for his father to give up on the new city's house!
"Aunt, before I came back, Chengjian repeatedly told me that I must understand the situation in the new city. If it's really as bad as the rumors say, then he won't care if you're willing or not. He'll definitely invite you overseas to live next summer. "
"Aiya, isn't he just messing around? I live quite well here! He heard Qingqing's complaints on the Internet. Furthermore, after moving for so long, he only knew how to transfer money. He didn't even come back to take a look. " Grandma Xia was angry that her son's eyes were wide open. "Let him focus on his business first. I was thinking of asking him to return to Dongjiang New City to start a business. On the other hand, he. . . You want to drag me out?"
"Hehe, the construction business has just begun, Right now, I'm too busy to split myself, so I can only listen to Qingqing's mutterings. I'm not coming here, Qingqing said. He didn't know that Dongjiang New City wasn't as bad as the rumors said, but he could tell that. . . The future development was quite good. So, I'll talk to Chengjian about the situation in the future. In the future, I'll stay here with him. If the opportunity is right, you can consider starting a new project here. "
"Dad, you're not going to do that, are you?" Xia Jiagin followed Lan Jiagin and placed a pot of Junzi Lan. He turned around and looked at his father as if he was looking at a monster. "Even if the East River New City is a place where you can retire, it's not suitable for you, mother, and uncle to open up their business. "
"Why not? Silly kid, let's not talk about the old saying 'Ye Luo returns to his roots'. Your mother and I have the intention to return to the country and retire. We just need to find a suitable place to expand our business. East River New City is a place with potential. So. . . In the future, we'll often return to China. We can help you raise the next generation, and we can also find a suitable organization here. We can nurture the country's medical talent. " Xia Yanju looked at a pot of blooming butterfly orchids placed on the table by Lan Jialin, and his mind was like that flower. In full bloom.
"What the. . . The next generation? They even cultivate medical talent? Do you know that not only is this place 'poor', it is also full of loopholes. There is not even a school for children, let alone a research institute and a high-tech company. Who would be willing to be your student here? Don't even expect your future grandson and granddaughter to stay on this isolated island where the 'bug comes out from its shell'!"
Xia Thorn was unwilling to look at his complacent father. He hugged a pillow and covered his face with it. He could not figure out who had drunk his parents' Ecstasy soup. Grandma Xia? Fan Lihua? Or Tan Ming? Xin Xiaosi and her parents?
"Old Xia, this plan of yours is good. I'll fully cooperate with you!" Lan Jialing was extremely satisfied with the house that she had decorated with fresh flowers. She pulled up Grandma Xia and supported her to look around.
"Aiyo, our Qingqing has good taste. This flower is so good that it looks cheerful and flourishing!" Grandma Xia was happy in her heart. She sniffed a pot of blooming waxy plums and said, "Qingqing. I heard that Miss Xiao Zhi is looking for a part-time job to earn her tuition fees. Why don't you tell her to send some flowers to the new city for sale in New Year's? Can you help her advertise on the website and on her blog? "
"Ah -?" Thorned Flower was dumbfounded. He bought flowers to curry favor with his elders, yet he still managed to dig a hole for himself?
"Aunt, that's a good idea!" Xia Yanju praised, "Qingqing's blog can do good things for the residents, help them with their jobs, and also make it easier for the neighbors to dress up for the New Year. "
"Dad, I have business to attend to in the afternoon. You guys talk to me more, I'll go first. " Xia Tanqing jumped to the door.
"Qingqing, don't go!" Grandma Xia reached out and grabbed him. "Tomorrow is the new year. Didn't you give the Xiong brothers a vacation? Then what other business do you have? It's the Lunar New Year. Don't post so many complaints online! "
" Those are not complaints, but objective and reasonable opinions! " Xia Jianqing tried his best to refute.
"Then I have my own opinions as well. Other than the gardens in the neighborhood, there was no other place in the new city that could be used to relieve one's boredom. I heard that some of my old neighbors were playing mahjong at home. I want to play a few rounds. But their mahjong pairs have already been set up, so I can't stick them in. The housewife needs to clean up, you come and go in a hurry. My neighbors only know Master Su and Grandpa Hu, so I can't make up the numbers. So you're here today. You can solve a problem for me!"
Xia Yanju was amused. "Qingqing, come quickly. You've brought so many flowers for me. She'll definitely bloom more today. "
Xia Yanju's eyes flashed. "Aunt, do you have a time to complain about the new city? Alright, I'll bring this suggestion online later. "
"Bad boy, are you trying to drag me down? Don't mess around. I'm not looking for you to play mahjong, okay? "
Xinzi really brought back fresh flowers from the suburbs. After the last day of cleaning the racing track, she rode past a base in the suburbs. When she saw the human heads surging inside, she knew that it was the flower planting base that the Dongjiang New District had been promoting in recent years, and it was attracting a large number of Dongjiang citizens.
The development of the country had made the characteristics of the citizens living in a well-off state more and more obvious. More and more people liked to buy beautiful flowers in the new spring to decorate their homes, hoping to improve their wealth and happiness in the coming year!
She felt sorry for her parents' hard work for a year, and she was grateful to Tan Ming and her son for taking care of her. She calculated the income of her part-time job, but she entered the farm in a constrained but happy manner, choosing beautiful decorations for the first new year of Dongjiang New City.
"Auntie, this is for you. " Xin Xiao Zhi sent a large amount of silver willow and carnations to Tan Ming's mother, then put the bag of land that he had brought from the border onto the bench that Tan Lin Ji had repaired.
Tan Yin's eyes were filled with joy as he watched his mother happily receive the bouquet of flowers. He looked at the colorful and furry sprouts and said, "It's so beautiful. "
Tan Linji was playing mahjong with a few of his family members who had returned. This might be the favorite way for middle-aged and elderly villagers to relax during holidays. They could calculate the cards in their hands while describing the soreness, sweetness, and spiciness of the past. They could savor the satisfaction and happiness of slowly releasing happiness from the five flavors.
When they turned around and looked at Xin Xiaoyao, who was clearly shy with his son, the woodcarving craftsman whose hair was covered in wind and frost, there was a hint of joy on his face. He told his wife to entertain the girl and stood up politely. "Do you know how to play? Do you want to play a few rounds with the sound? "
Xinzi's nervousness was protected by Tan Yinming behind her. "Dad, she just finished her part-time job and still needs to self-study online technology. She probably doesn't have time. It's almost New Year's and her family has just rushed back from the border to Dongjiang. There are also some people who are busy. So, let me send her back to the new city first?"
Tan Linji was slightly taken aback. His gaze swept across the girl's clothes, which had been washed clean but had clearly faded, and the piece of land that was wrapped in a simple plastic bag. He nodded.
The neighbors looked at the bouquet of flowers that had been inserted and placed at the side of the tea table. They cheered happily, "Elder Lin, today is a good opening. Look at the flowers and play mahjong. You will definitely make a fortune in the New Year. Next year, we will have a lively wedding and celebrate. . . "
