Chapter 176 Sending Flowers
When they reached the backyard, Mu Chenze pointed to two pots of half-meter-tall roses and said excitedly, "This is for you. Do you like it?"
The rose buds on the branches are about to bloom.
Once the flowers bloom, they will definitely look beautiful.
Chu Xuan was pleasantly surprised. "I like it. Did you just buy this?"
Since her rebirth, she has never grown any flowers, but that doesn't mean she doesn't love flowers.
I won’t be as busy as before and will have enough time to grow flowers and cultivate my character.
If she has the chance, she plans to buy jasmine, osmanthus, azalea...
Seeing that she liked roses, Mu Chenze was even happier than her, "That's right."
Chu Xuan's eyes fell on his wound. "You're running around before your wound has healed, you..."
Before she could finish, Mu Chenze interrupted her gently, "These two pots of flowers were ordered a while ago, and Ji Ping will help deliver them today. After dinner, I'll take you home and pull them on the cart."
"Okay. But you're not allowed to pull the cart. I'll do it."
"You don't need to come, Xiao Feng can do it."
"Okay. By the way, didn't you invite Ji Ping to dinner tonight?"
"I called him, but he's busy. He has to go to the county town to take care of Sheng Damei."
Chu Xuan's first reaction was that something had happened to Sheng Damei. "What happened to her?"
Mu Chenze said casually, "She burned her hands while interning in the baking workshop."
"She's so unlucky? Her factory should compensate her, right?"
"She deserved it. The oven temperature was over 230 degrees Celsius, and she was handling it directly. How could she not get burned? This was illegal operation, and she received no compensation. The problem is, she knocked over the baking tray, not only was the cookies lost, but the tray also landed right on the workshop director's foot. The nail on her thumb was bruised and cracked. The workshop director demanded that the factory fire her!"
"What kind of shoes was the workshop director wearing? How could the baking tray be smashed so badly?"
"Coincidentally, I was wearing sandals and had on shoe covers. Shoe covers are just a thin layer of paper and can't protect the baking tray."
Chu Xuan seemed to be lost in thought. If the workshop director insisted on firing Sheng Damei, there was a high possibility that Sheng Damei would lose her job.
Unless the workshop director takes this matter lightly.
"Does Shengdamei's factory have any rules or regulations, like not wearing sandals in the baking workshop?"
This successfully reminded Mu Chenze, "Yes! I'll call Ji Ping right now to remind him."
"Let's go together."
This was exactly what Mu Chenze wanted. "Okay."
Mu Chenze and Chu Xuan said hello to their families and walked towards the village office.
There were not many people on the way there, and Mu Chenze gently held Chu Xuan's hand.
Chu Xuan didn't break free, but felt a little embarrassed. "Someone will pass by soon, you have to let go quickly."
Mu Chenze smiled happily, "No problem. Xiaoxuan, I wish I could stick with you every day. When my injury heals, I'll go fishing with you."
"You don't go to the market to sell seafood anymore?"
"Run! I'll go fishing with you during the day, and I'll go to the city to sell seafood at night."
"How tiring is that?"
"After you recover from your injury, let's buy a boat. Take me with you when you go out to sea, and I'll help you."
"I can take you out to sea, but I wouldn't want you to help me out. Your suggestion to buy a boat is great. We can hire someone to fish, and you and I can just stand on the boat and admire the beautiful ocean. I know a few small islands where I can take you shopping."
"What's on the island?"
"I'll keep it a secret for now. You can come and see it for yourself when the time comes. I'll be thinking carefully about which fishing boat to buy in the next few days."
"I remember you wanted to buy a truck before, not a fishing boat. Why did you agree so readily today?"
"Because neither you nor my mother support me buying a truck, but both suggested buying a boat."
The two chatted as they walked, and it didn't seem like they had arrived at the village office in a short while.
Especially Mu Chenze, he was reluctant to let go of Chu Xuan's hand, but he had to let go.
Otherwise, if the village office sees him, they will educate him to pay attention to the impact.
The person on duty at the village office tonight is Accountant Wen.
Everyone is familiar with each other and easy to talk to.
Accountant Wen found an excuse to go out for some fresh air, leaving Mu Chenze some time to make a phone call.
Soon, Mu Chenze called the nurse station of the County Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.
"Hello, comrade! Could you please ask Sheng Damei's family to answer the phone? It's the one with the burned hands."
"Okay."
After a while, Ji Ping's voice came from the microphone.
"Hello……"
"Pingzi is me. Sheng Damei shouldn't be expelled."
"Did you come up with any idea?"
"It wasn't me who came up with that. It was Xiao Xuan who suggested you ask Sheng Damei if their factory has any regulations prohibiting wearing sandals in the baking room."
Ji Ping is a smart man and understands things quickly.
"Chenze, thank Xiaoxuan for me. If Damei can keep her job this time, I'll cook for you two."
"Okay. I'll wait."
After hanging up the phone, Mu Chenze left a dollar next to the phone and prepared to leave with Chu Xuan.
Accountant Wen, who was outside the door, suddenly came in with a worried look on his face. "Just now I heard you say that Sheng Damei was going to be fired. Is she okay?"
Chu Xuan looked at Accountant Wen with a puzzled look. Shouldn't he separate Accountant Wen and Shengdamei?
Accountant Wen realized he was being misunderstood. "It's not what you two think. I care about Sheng Damei. No, I don't care about Sheng Damei. I care about Ji Ping's money. If she gets fired, the money Ji Ping gave her to buy a job will be wasted. Ji Ping has helped me before. I don't want him to suffer any loss."
Chu Xuan then showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.
Mu Chenze told Accountant Wen in detail about the trouble that Sheng Damei had caused. After listening, Accountant Wen seemed to be thinking about something.
Chu Xuan and Mu Chenze said goodbye and left.
Accountant Wen made a phone call.
On the way home, Chu Xuan asked curiously, "When did Pingzi ever help Accountant Wen?"
"When Accountant Wen's wife was still alive, she had morning sickness and wanted to eat something sour. Accountant Wen went out to buy some pickled plums. On his way back, a typhoon hit and a huge tree was uprooted. He didn't notice it, but Ji Ping happened to pass by and helped him up. The tree fell next to him. If it weren't for Ji Ping, he would have been seriously injured."
When they mentioned Accountant Wen's past, Mu Chenze and Chu Xuan both sighed.
Things are unpredictable. Accountant Wen lost his wife and children, and he has never remarried.
When I got home, the meal was already on the table.
Very rich.
There is a red sea bream that was just caught today.
Chu Xuan had never encountered this kind of fish when he went to the sea.
It can be sold for five yuan per pound.
Braise one and steam one.
The meat is delicious and has the effects of nourishing the kidneys and regulating menstruation.
Chu Xuan suspected that Mu Chenze had asked his family to catch this kind of fish specifically for her.
In addition to red sea bream, there are ten dishes, one soup, and white flour dumplings.
After they sat down, Mu Chenze picked up a lot of sea bream meat for her, which was almost the size of an entire fish...
The meal was a lively one.
It was after nine o'clock in the evening before they all went home.
Mu Chenze sent Chu Xuan and her brother back home. Chu Feng pulled two pots of roses on a cart in front, and Mu Chenze and Chu Xuan walked behind.
This time, Mu Chenze wanted to hold hands, but Chu Xuan stopped him softly, "Be good, Xiaofeng is here."
The tone was gentle, and Mu Chenze had no reason to refute.
When he was almost at Chu Xuan's house, Mu Chenze found a man waiting outside the gate.
Be alert immediately.
