Chapter 134 Sending Flowers to Gu Linchuan
Zhou Manman first demonstrated to Ji Yan using a flower.
"Then we take a pair of scissors and cut off some of the flower stems at a 45-degree angle. This will increase its water absorption area."
Ji Yan nodded, and she also picked up a lily and followed Zhou Manman.
"I know your flowers were probably prepared early in the morning, but because they have been dehydrated for too long, they no longer look plump. So, what we need to do now is to take a bucket, fill it with water, and then soak these trimmed flowers in the bucket."
Ji Yan immediately asked Lin's mother to get a bucket of water.
After they put the flowers in the bucket, Zhou Manman asked Ji Yan whether she wanted to put the flowers in a vase or tie them into a bouquet.
Ji Yan thought about it, then said, "How about a set of both?"
"Mother Lin, please move the vase next to you over here."
Zhou Manman nodded: "When we arrange flowers, we usually divide them into the same color and contrasting colors. For example, this kind of lily can be matched with this kind of light-colored rose, and the whole color scheme looks very gentle..."
Zhou Manman spoke as she took action.
Soon, the flowers in the vase were placed.
She trimmed it again, and Ji Yan looked at the flowers in the vase, her eyes widened in surprise.
"Although we change the flowers every week, Manman, our previous flowers were placed in the vase very casually, unlike yours now. I can't tell what has changed, but it looks really delicate."
Zhou Manman smiled at Ji Yan and asked her what kind of bouquet she wanted.
"Miss Ji, do you need to give your flowers to someone? If so, the appropriate bouquet will be different depending on the recipient."
"Is that so?"
"Because different flowers have different meanings."
"I actually wanted to give it to someone I like..." Ji Yan said softly, "But, he doesn't like me...so let's just give it to a male friend!"
Zhou Manman nodded and saw Ji Yan's disappointment.
She couldn't help but think, Ji Yan is so young and beautiful, has a good personality, and comes from a good family, how could there be a man who could reject her?
However, since Ji Yan had already said so, Zhou Manman would naturally satisfy her.
Zhou Manman chose white roses, paired with blue hydrangeas, and decorated with small daisies.
This color is suitable for boys.
"You come and try to put this flower here." Zhou Manman instructed Ji Yan.
After an afternoon, Ji Yan finally finished arranging the bouquets.
Looking at this bouquet of flowers, Ji Yan was a little shocked. She didn't expect that she could make such beautiful flowers.
This amazed her a little.
"Manman, teacher, oh my god, you are so awesome!" Ji Yan pounced on Zhou Manman and hugged her.
Zhou Manman thought about it and felt that something was missing.
She took out a bottle of perfume from the gift for Ji Yan and sprayed it on the bouquet.
Suddenly, the fragrance of flowers and perfume spread, and Ji Yan took a deep breath: "It smells so good, it smells so good!"
"This was meant to be a gift for you."
Ji Yan looked at the things in the bag. The packaging was very delicate. Although there was no brand name, they did not look like ordinary things.
"Manman, I am already very grateful that you are willing to teach me these things, and you even want to give me a gift!"
"This is not free. If you find it useful and feel it is OK, please recommend it to your friends, because I am also doing this business recently."
"Okay." Ji Yan said and put the gift away.
In fact, she was quite satisfied.
Although she didn't know what Zhou Manman gave her and whether it was useful, the way Zhou Manman arranged flowers today had already made Ji Yan believe in Zhou Manman.
Moreover, although she didn't know Zhou Manman's background, judging from her appearance and temperament, she was not the daughter of an ordinary family.
Even when I came to their house and knew their family background, I didn't feel nervous at all.
After spending half a day together, Ji Yan already likes Zhou Manman very much.
"By the way, this is today's salary." Ji Yan handed a dollar to Zhou Manman generously.
In this era, the average salary is only a few dozen yuan.
Zhou Manman can get one dollar for teaching a two-hour class, which is already a huge salary.
"Thank you." Zhou Manman took the money and left.
After Zhou Manman left, Ji Yan took a look at the bouquet of flowers in her hand and said happily, "I'm going to find Brother Linchuan!"
She couldn't wait any longer. She learned flower arrangement just for Gu Linchuan.
Although she knew that Gu Linchuan already had a wife, she still couldn't help but want to get closer to him.
Moreover, in her opinion, the wife that Gu Linchuan married was a country girl, and it must have been an arranged marriage at the time.
Maybe his mother saw that he was getting old and strongly urged him to get married.
But now, Gu Linchuan has recovered and returned to the capital. With her by his side, he will definitely abandon his wife.
After all, she is a country woman, without any experience. Brother Rinchuan is so outstanding, it is impossible for him to always be with such a woman.
Seeing Ji Yan leaving with flowers in her arms, Mother Lin knew what she was going to do and couldn't help but call her, "Yan Yan, Captain Gu is already married."
"I know. I just think this bouquet of flowers is beautiful. Is there anything wrong with giving it to him?"
"No..." Lin's mother sighed, "But, it doesn't seem right for a lesbian to give flowers to a gay man, right?"
The political commissar and his wife had both warned her to keep an eye on the young lady, but the young lady was so persistent and how could she, a nanny in someone else's home, stop her?
"What does it matter, Aunt Lin? You need to keep your thoughts pure!" After Ji Yan said this, she got into the car and left.
Mother Lin looked at Ji Yan's back and shook her head.
Whose thoughts are impure?
Ji Yan came to the door and waited. She was pretty, with big eyes, fair skin, and a bouquet of flowers. Even though she was sitting inside the house, the soldiers passing by could still recognize her.
The daughter of the political commissar of the military region often comes here. Who wouldn’t know her?
However, they also knew who Ji Yan was looking for.
Sun Yan went with Gu Linchuan. He was very happy to learn from Gu Linchuan that Zhou Manman had passed the exam.
"Someday, I will convince Manman to come here to work, so that you two can be reunited." Sun Yan said with a smile.
"Then I'll trouble you, cousin."
Sun Yan raised his eyebrows. This was the first time that Gu Linchuan called him cousin.
"You know what, it sounds really nice when you call me cousin. How about calling me cousin a few more times?"
Gu Linchuan immediately glanced at Sun Yan coldly, and Sun Yan had to shut up.
Then, Gu Linchuan heard a sweet voice: "Brother Linchuan, I brought you a gift!"
Gu Linchuan's heart skipped a beat. He turned around and saw Ji Yan standing at the gate holding a bouquet of flowers.
Sun Yan chuckled: "No, doesn't the young lady know that you are married? Why is she still pestering you?"
