Chapter 59
At present, order has just been restored in all places, and those who survived are trying to make a living. No one would be so idle as to stop growing crops and go grow flowers. For her, finding flowers is a problem.
She thought of the sea of flowers that Ji Yuanchen had planted for her, but it was a pity that this place was too far away from the distant base.
All the way from the abandoned house, there are weeds and no flowers. Now that the store has been rented, I can't go back to the abandoned house, right?
Qiao Yanrou walked out of the room and looked at the sky outside the glass door. It was getting dark, so she decided to rest in the store today.
She turned on the power switch and there was still electricity in the store. She walked to the refrigerator, which she had forgotten to clean.
At night, she lay on her bed in a strange place, worrying about the source of flowers for a long time. She planned to ask Le Liu where the source of flowers was tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Qiao Yanrou washed up, still remembering to put on her hat, and went to the shop next door to find Le Liu.
When she arrived at the shop, Le Liu was drinking tea. Qiao Yanrou raised her hand and knocked on the glass door next to her.
Le Liu put down the teacup and looked at the woman standing at the door. She was still wearing a hat with the brim pulled very low, looking a little mysterious.
"What's the matter?" she asked Qiao Yanrou.
"Do you know where there are flowers nearby?"
Flowers? Le Liu thought carefully and found that there was indeed a place where many flowers grew.
"Yes, it's a half-hour drive from here."
Qiao Yanrou breathed a sigh of relief. "Could you please take me there? I'll learn the way so I can go there on my own next time."
After she finished speaking, she paused for a few seconds and added, "I can give you some more rice."
Le Liu stood up from the tea table: "No need, it's nothing to give you a ride when I have nothing to do."
Qiao Yanrou thanked her repeatedly, followed her to the SUV parked outside, and sat in the passenger seat.
On the way, Le Liu asked her, "Do you want to open a flower shop?"
"Yes, I want to give it a try." Qiao Yanrou has rice and vegetable seeds. There is a place behind the store she rents to grow some vegetables. She doesn't have to worry about food and drink for the time being. She wants to sell bouquets to those who are materially wealthy.
Le Liu didn't ask any more questions, but helped her again: "There is a flower shop not far from your store. You can take it if you see anything you need." Originally, she wanted to use her supernatural power to turn the things inside into ashes so that she could clean them out. He gave it to her just because she needed it.
Qiao Yanrou's eyes lit up instantly: "Thank you so much, I'll go take a look when I get back."
"Don't be polite with me. There are very few people alive now. No one will want to try to open a flower shop in the next ten years. If you want to try it, just try it once." Le Liu also likes flowers. It makes him feel more comfortable to look at flowers.
"Thank you, you are such a nice person." Qiao Yanrou didn't expect that her luck was so good that she met such a nice person as soon as she arrived.
Things like vases and bouquet wrapping paper were also a headache for her, but now that problem was solved temporarily, she was so excited that she couldn't suppress the corners of her lips.
The car drove straight out of the city and arrived at a hillside half an hour later.
Qiao Yanrou looked at the house not far from her. It was overgrown with weeds and the bungalow inside was almost invisible.
She got out of the car. Le Liu got out of the driver's seat and walked in front of her. Qiao Yanrou followed behind her, observing the surroundings.
Le Liu took her to the hillside, where there were flowers mixed in with the weeds, but not as many as she saw last year.
“There are a lot fewer flowers this year.”
Qiao Yanrou was very content: "That's enough. I'll go get some back."
Yesterday, I took out the electrical appliances and other things in the storage space and put them in the store. There was an empty space in the storage space that was just right for these flowers.
She walked among the flowers, bent down and put some of the flowers back to the storage space, intending to take them back to the store to take care of them first.
Le Liu watched her busy among the flowers and stood aside waiting for her to finish.
After nearly 40 minutes, Qiao Yanrou straightened her slightly sore waist. It was almost done. She would see how the sales were before coming back.
She walked up to Le Liu, who had been waiting for her for a long time, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry to have made you wait for me."
Le Liu in front of her is her benefactor, and she doesn’t know how to repay her. She will make more food and send it to her in the future.
"It's okay, I'm very free." Le Liu was indeed very free. Except for occasionally going to meetings, he basically spent all his time in the store.
Qiao Yan chatted with her gently for a few words, and then the two got in the car and drove back.
Back at the shop, Qiao Yanrou stuffed a bag of rice into her hand, but Le Liu refused to accept it and forced her to take it back.
There was no other way. She couldn't force it out, so she had to put the rice back into the storage space.
Le Liu took her to a nearby shop, opened the door and let her pick out some useful materials to save her from using her supernatural powers to clear them out.
Qiao Yanrou walked into the messy and dusty flower shop. She picked up the materials needed to wrap the bouquets and some tilted vases from under the fallen cabinet.
Before leaving, she thanked the flower shop which was in a mess.
Le Liu saw it but said nothing. She had been struggling in the apocalypse for so many years that her heart had become as hard as steel. Almost nothing could move her.
Qiao Yanrou said goodbye to Le Liu and returned to the store to start cutting the flowers in the storage space and put them in the store's refrigerator for preservation.
