In the blink of an eye, it was a few days before National Day, and the festive atmosphere on the streets had become strong.

Red flags were waving at the entrances of government agencies and big red lanterns were hung high. Everyone in the office building had smiles on their faces and congratulated each other with "Happy Holidays".

There are always a few clever ones who prepare carefully selected gifts early and try every possible way to sneak into the leader's office.

While saying "Happy holidays in advance", I was secretly glancing at the leader's reaction, afraid that the flattery was not loud enough.

With the support of this festive east wind, the price of Clivia has been pushed to a new high.

The flower market was crowded with people, and the vendors selling Clivia were shouting louder and louder:

"Top-quality 'Monk's Head', with broad, thick leaves and clear veins, newly bloomed seeds, only 1,800!"

"Eighteen hundred? Are you trying to rob me? Wasn't it only three hundred yuan last month?" The price made the buyer gasp.

"Oh! You're still talking about this outdated almanac. Why don't you go buy it last month!" The stall owner sneered and turned around to greet other people!

Nowadays, people who are higher in status and have more money pay more attention to "elegance and humor".

If a leader doesn’t have two pots of Clivia in his office, he is considered tasteless!

Besides, National Day is coming soon. Who wouldn’t rush to buy things as gifts or for good luck?

There is no need to worry about selling it at all, so stop bargaining!

A middle-aged man in a suit and tie came over and asked in a low voice:

"Do you have a 'Red Flag Crown'? I want one in good condition, money is no object."

The stall owner's eyes lit up, he looked around, and walked into the house mysteriously, bringing out a pot with shiny leaves and plump buds, and said proudly:

"The real 'Red Flag Crown' is rare on the market, at least this number -" He held up a finger.

"one thousand?"

"Ten thousand!"

The middle-aged man admired it for a moment, hesitated for a few seconds, and then actually took out a thick envelope...

However, the man with glasses who had been watching from the side gasped!

I couldn't help but mutter: "Isn't it just a potted flower? Is it really worth so much money?"

"Hey, hey, hey! Gentleman with glasses, if you think it's too expensive, turn left at the market outside and pick any cacti you want, three pots for one dollar each!

The Clivias here are all unique. Those who know the business will understand. If you don’t have money, don’t be jealous. Don’t stand here and block my way to wealth.”

After saying that, he picked up a dirty rag beside him and threw a cloud of dust at the man with glasses!

The man with glasses staggered back, knocked over a trash can beside him, and left the scene in a mess amid laughter!

The flower market is still bustling and prices are still rising.

No one knows how long this carnival will last, but in the festive atmosphere of National Day, everyone chooses to indulge...

Li Mingyuan couldn't believe the price he heard when he walked out of the market. Even if he didn't eat or drink and saved money since he started wearing open-crotch pants, he still couldn't afford it!

. . . . . .

Li Mingyuan took his children back to the slum to eat.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw that the pot of Clivia in the yard was in bloom. The golden petals stood upright, looking particularly energetic in the sun.

He looked at it twice more, thinking about it in his mind, but did not dare to ask more questions.

Everyone was in a happy mood at the dinner table, but after dinner, it was already dark and Li Mingyuan was still sitting there, chatting with his family members about random things.

Seeing the clock hand reach the number nine, Li Guifang could no longer bear it and directly drove him away: "Li Mingyuan, hurry up and fart. It's getting late. Take the children back quickly.

Tomorrow, you don't want to go to work, and the kids have to go to school, so keep nagging. Can't you see your dad has no energy to pay attention to you? "

Li Mingyuan looked at Li Jianghai, and Li Jianghai immediately yawned and his eyelids drooped.

Li Mingyuan smiled awkwardly and asked casually before leaving: "Mom, you've taken good care of this Clivia. What are you going to do with it?"

Even her own child lifts his butt to poop and pee, she knows it! She's still playing "Liao Zhai" in front of me, asking for death!

Li Guifang didn't even raise her eyelids, picked up the palm-leaf fan at hand and smashed it on his arm: "I have my own arrangements, I don't need you to worry about it with your stinky mouth!"

Li Mingyuan felt pain and shrank his neck. He didn't dare to ask any more questions and quickly left with the child.

When he got home, Li Shuhang had already coaxed his sister to sleep and was sitting on the sofa in the living room reading the famous book given by his aunt.

Seeing Li Mingyuan coming back, he looked up at him and suddenly said, "Dad, sit down and talk. This is a communication between men!"

Li Mingyuan was stunned for a moment, then his face turned stern: "Kid, why are you pretending to be an adult? Go to bed quickly."

Having said that, Li Mingyuan still sat down next to his son!

He didn't know how he raised his son to be like a little old man.

I have a stern face all day long, and sometimes I don’t even know who is the boss!

"Are you thinking about grandma's pot of Clivia?" Li Shuhang spoke as soon as Li Mingyuan sat down on the sofa. Although it was a question, the tone was affirmative!

Li Mingyuan exploded, "What nonsense are you talking about, little kid!"

Li Shuhang curled his lips, ignoring Li Mingyuan's clamor, and said calmly, "Fourth uncle just asked about it casually last time, and it turned out that you haven't eaten at the table for three days.

Uncle San wanted to exchange the flowers for money to open a shop, but Aunt San hit him on the forehead.

Second Aunt was even worse off; she just glanced at the flower bud a few more times, and Grandma kicked her out.”

He paused, raised his eyes and stared at Li Mingyuan, "Dad, if you also want to be kicked out of the house, then you just keep thinking about it."

Li Mingyuan was choked, opened his mouth, and finally muttered angrily: "...I just asked."

Li Shuhang ignored Li Mingyuan's stubbornness and went straight back to his room.

Li Mingyuan didn't notice that Li Shuhang's mouth corners curled up slightly.
