The restaurant had been open for a while, and Xiao Feng would come over from time to time. After a while, Lin Mei saw what he meant.
There were not many people in the store that afternoon, so Wang Shuxiu sent Yi Hang upstairs to rest for a while. She and Lin Mei chatted while watching over the store. As they chatted, the topic turned to Xiao Feng.
Lin Mei had a good impression of Xiao Feng, and she had also heard about Xiao Feng from the side, saying that he was not the kind of irresponsible man. According to Lin Mei, Wang Shuxiu was still young, and it would be a good idea to find another one as soon as possible. She couldn't just live alone like this forever. Now she had Lu Lingxi to accompany her, and in a few years Lu Lingxi would get married and have children, and even if he was filial, his first priority would be his own family. Could Wang Shuxiu still go and live with her daughter-in-law? She would be alone, and she wouldn't even have anyone to talk to when she returned home, which was pitiful.
Lin Mei was not just worrying for nothing, she really cared about Wang Shuxiu and couldn't help but mention Xiao Feng.
"Xiaohua, what do you think of Brother Feng?"
When she said this, Wang Shuxiu understood what she meant. The two of them usually talked without any scruples, and Wang Shuxiu said frankly: "Brother Feng is a good person, but it is impossible for us."
Xiao Feng helped several times, sending flower baskets and finding people to support the business every day. Wang Shuxiu was not a little girl who knew nothing, and she had long seen what Brother Feng meant. But it was precisely because she was not a little girl who knew nothing that she didn't have any thoughts. She had just divorced Lu Yishui, and her life was going well. Lu Lingxi was obedient and didn't need a man to support her, so why did she have to find a man to take care of her at home. Besides, Lu Yishui's gambling abuse had ruined her for half her life, and she was not crazy to find a man who opened a casino.
Wang Shuxiu said it straightforwardly, and Lin Mei understood Wang Shuxiu's concerns after thinking about it. Brother Feng is a good person, but he is not a serious job because he makes money through illegal means. What's more, he is gambling, which Wang Shuxiu hates the most. It seems that he is really not a good choice. However, she did not give up and immediately changed another candidate. "There is a brother Tan in the street office of our community. His wife has been there for several years and has a little girl. He is a good person, honest and family-oriented. I know the little girl well. She is very sensible and obedient, not the kind of little girl who stirs up trouble. What do you think? If you are interested, I can help ask?"
Before she finished speaking, Wang Shuxiu slammed the table, her eyebrows raised, "Lin Mei, you see that I am not happy with my life, so you want to force me to jump into the fire pit again, right?"
Lin Mei was used to quarreling with her, and she slammed the table louder than she did, "I'm doing this for your own good. When Xiaoxi gets married, you can expect to be despised by your daughter-in-law!"
"Bah, she dares."
Lin Mei laughed, "By the way, Xiaoxi is 18 years old too, and you haven't heard him say if he has any girls he likes?"
Speaking of this, Wang Shuxiu was a little worried, "It seems that the little bastard has never come to his senses. Is it not the right time yet?"
"What do you mean by not yet in time!" Lin Mei sneered, "Our kid is only in the second year of junior high school. The day before yesterday, a letter written to a female classmate was found in his bag, and he was severely beaten by his father. I would say you just don't care. Maybe Xiaoxi is already pregnant, but you just don't know."
Wang Shuxiu thought about it and decided not to talk about the little bastard's past. He had lost his memory and couldn't remember anything. He hadn't seen any girls come to his house, so it seemed that there was no one. After losing his memory, the little bastard was in the flower shop every day. There was no one else around him except Yan Yue. It didn't seem like he was hiding something. The little bastard was shy now, so it would be embarrassing to ask him. Why not find a time to ask Yan Yue? She decided to find a time to test Yan Yue's attitude, but Lin Mei talked about other things again, so the two of them changed the subject for a while.
The soundproofing upstairs was poor and Yi Hang couldn't sleep for a long time. Wang Shuxiu and Lin Mei both had loud voices, which Yi Hang found funny, so he sent text messages to tease Lu Lingxi.
"Third brother, your mother is looking forward to you getting married. When are you going to find one? Do you want your brother to introduce you to one?"
Lu Lingxi was watering the potted plants in the store when he heard the message. He was speechless after picking up the phone and reading the message. He was used to joking with Yi Hang now, so he replied immediately, "Find it first."
Yi Hang: “…”
There were not many people in Micro Gardening right now, and Lu Lingxi happened to be alone and had nothing to do. In the past, Lu Lingxi would not have thought too much about it, but now out of guilt, he still asked one more question, "What else did my mother say?"
Yi Hang: "I'll find you a stepfather."
Lu Lingxi: “…”
This topic is much more explosive than the previous one.
Yi Hang laughed at the phone, imagining the third brother's current expression, wiped his face and continued: "Seriously speaking, I think Brother Feng mentioned by Sister Lin is good, he is a real man."
"Brother Feng? Xiao Feng?" Lu Lingxi was shocked.
Yi Hang: “You don’t know?”
Lu Lingxi really didn't know. He knew that Brother Feng and Wang Shuxiu were somewhat close, but when did they become so close that Brother Feng wanted to be his father? He read the text messages sent by Yi Hang several times, feeling a little uncomfortable. Lu Yishui's character was not very good, and he still wanted to take good care of Wang Shuxiu. Did Wang Shuxiu really want to find him another father?
In a small coal mine far in the northwest, Lu Yishui sneezed three times in a row. "Who? Who is scolding me?"
Someone kicked him from behind, "Hurry up and work. You delayed our team's progress yesterday. When we returned to the cafeteria, all the meat and vegetables were gone, only the cabbage was left. Lu Yishui, I'm telling you, if you dare to pretend to be sick and delay me again today, be careful or I'll beat you up."
Lu Yishui stiffened his neck and said, "Wang Laosan, have you forgotten the time when you gambled with me? You have no regard for me at all. Am I pretending to be sick? I am really sick."
"Favor? Bullshit favor. If you have any favor, can you lend me 200,000 yuan to pay off Brother Feng's gambling debt?"
When Lu Yishui mentioned this, he thought of Yan Yue. Yan Yue gave him money too readily at that time, and he was busy taking advantage of the situation. Afterwards, Xiao Feng sent him here. Lu Yishui thought about it carefully, and felt that Yan Yue and Xiao Feng had set a trap for him. Otherwise, how could he lose more than two million yuan to Xiao Feng in a fit of anger? More than two million yuan, he could never go back even if he died digging coal here. Lu Yishui was a little unwilling, because he still had a son, and he was still waiting for his son to take care of him in his old age, so he had to find a way to escape.
Lu Yishui was so absorbed in his thoughts that the worker behind him came forward impatiently and kicked him away. "If you want to work, do it. If not, get out."
Lu Yishui shrank his neck. He dared to say a few tough words to Wang Laosan, who was sent to dig coal with him, but he became timid when facing the honest workers in the mine and dared not say anything.
Someone outside looked at him and gestured, "It's him. Brother Feng said to take care of him."
The obedient man laughed, "Why should I take care of him? He's just a coward, lazy and greedy, and he either pretends to be sick or dead. People who work with him look down on him, and he's often criticized in private."
"How did he offend Brother Feng?"
"Who knows? It's not like he stole Brother Feng's woman."
Lu Lingxi didn’t know about Lu Yishui’s current situation. He was still thinking about what Yi Hang said about his “stepfather”.
"Little boss."
Gao Yongliang did not bring Xue Yongtong this time, he came here alone. After being rejected by Yan Yue yesterday, Gao Yongliang still did not give up. He is a stubborn person if you put it nicely, and a stubborn person if you put it bluntly. He spent half a year searching for the scent of a perfume, and now he has found the right scent. It is really not his style to give up after being rejected once. He actually came here a long time ago, and was waiting for Yan Yue to leave before showing up. Although he did not deal with Lu Lingxi much, he still had a basic eye for people after working for many years. Compared with Yan Yue, Lu Lingxi was soft-hearted and easy to talk to, and he regarded her as a breakthrough for this cooperation.
Lu Lingxi didn't expect Gao Yongliang to come so soon. He was stunned for a moment and looked outside the door. "Where's Mr. Xue?"
Gao Yongliang smiled and said, "Old Xue didn't come today because he had something to do, so I came to take a look myself."
Yesterday, Gao Yongliang and Xue Yongtong went back to analyze that it was probably because Xue Yongtong's identity was too sensitive that Lu Lingxi was so repulsive. Gao Yongliang had just heard that Xue Yongtong had disguised himself as a customer and bought flowers from Micro Gardening several times, and he was speechless for a long time. No wonder Yan Yue treated them badly. What did Xue Yongtong do? Couldn't he have just come to the door with his identity openly? After despising Xue Yongtong for a long time, Gao Yongliang learned his lesson today and went to the door alone.
He did not directly talk to Lu Lingxi about the cooperation, but first looked around the pots of begonias in the store. The remaining pots of begonias were not evolved, and although they had fragrance, they were faint, far from the taste Gao Yongliang wanted, and he felt a little regretful. Xue Yongtong also said that the two pots of begonias at home were probably mutated, and the number would definitely not be large, so he was afraid that he could not do it on a large scale.
After viewing the begonias, Gao Yongliang's eyes were attracted by the violets next to it. The normal flowering period of violets is spring and summer, but the violet in front of him did not feel that it was over the flowering period at all, and it was still blooming vigorously. He recognized the variety of this violet at a glance. It was a double pink Cinderella with overlapping petals, fresh colors, and rich fragrance.
Gao Yongliang couldn't take his eyes off the violet, looking at it with fascination. He had seen many violets, single-petal, double-petal and various varieties, but he had to say that the violet in front of him was the best of all the violets he had ever seen.
Seeing that he was silent, Lu Lingxi looked around the store and walked to his side with some curiosity. Although Yan Yue said that he would cooperate with Xue Yongtong, Lu Lingxi didn't need to worry about the specific method of cooperation. Of course, Yan Yue couldn't stay by Lu Lingxi's side all day recently, so he specifically told Lu Lingxi that if Xue Yongtong and Gao Yongliang came over, no matter what they said, Lu Lingxi just listened and didn't need to give any reply.
Hearing Lu Lingxi's footsteps, Gao Yongliang did not turn back, his attention was still on the violet in front of him.
"Young boss, do you have many violets like this in your flower garden?"
Lu Lingxi was stunned for a moment before he realized that Gao Yongliang was talking to him. This violet was just an ordinary variety and had not yet evolved. He hesitated for a few seconds and responded, "Not much, probably only about one tenth of an acre."
Gao Yongliang calculated quickly that one tenth of an acre of land was only about 60 square meters, and he really couldn't grow many violets. Even if he bought all the land to extract essential oils, he wouldn't be able to extract much. He felt a little sorry, and said to Lu Lingxi earnestly, "The spirit of violets is very precious, and its practical effects are extremely wide. Whether it is used in skin repair and wrinkle removal or in respiratory treatment, it is very effective. The boss should really plant more."
Without waiting for Lu Lingxi to say anything, he continued, "I have visited many flower gardens over the years. Currently, the best violet essential oil in the world is produced in Egypt and France. It's a pity that the small boss doesn't grow much. If it can be grown on a large scale and the quality is maintained, the quality of the extracted essential oil will definitely not be bad."
Lu Lingxi was a little surprised. Gao Yongliang didn't think the same as he thought. He could see that Gao Yongliang didn't seem to have any other intentions when he said this. He just felt sorry. Lu Lingxi subconsciously asked, "Is the violet essential oil you mentioned really that useful?"
"Of course." When it comes to Gao Yongliang's expertise, he turns into a chatterbox in a second, pulling Lu Lingxi aside and patiently explaining: "Young boss, you don't know that the effects of violet essential oil are not just what I said. In addition to removing wrinkles and whitening, it can also detoxify and nourish the skin. In addition to having a conditioning effect on some respiratory diseases, it can also fight tumors and clear toxins from the body." At this point, he changed the subject, "I think young boss, you should not just limit yourself to the operation of the flower garden, you should have a longer-term vision. You can choose to cooperate with me, and we can jointly develop pure natural plant cosmetics. You can also choose to cooperate with some pharmaceutical companies to develop similar anti-tumor drugs."
Lu Lingxi: “…”
Gao Yongliang laughed, not feeling embarrassed at all, and looked at Lu Lingxi expectantly.
Lu Lingxi couldn't help but laugh, and said frankly: "You have to discuss the cooperation with Brother Yan about the store, I don't care."
Gao Yongliang was a little disappointed, but the fact that Lu Lingxi was willing to talk to him was a good start. He simply put aside the idea of cooperation for the time being and pulled Lu Lingxi to talk about the green plants in micro-gardening. Although Gao Yongliang used to look at these flowers and plants from a practical perspective, he really liked them. In fact, he knew as much about plants as Xue Yongtong.
Lu Lingxi has been cramming a lot of books these days, but he has only been studying for a short time, so he is still far from perfect in both theoretical knowledge and practical understanding of plants. When the two chatted, he was more interested in listening to Gao Yongliang's talk. Even when a customer came, Gao Yongliang was still talking. Lu Lingxi is really a good listener, smart and quick to react, and he knows how to draw inferences from one example. And the child listened very seriously. Gao Yongliang was just talking casually at first, but he unconsciously became serious later.
After seeing off the customer, Gao Yongliang was ready to leave. Although the cooperation was not concluded, Gao Yongliang had a very good impression of Lu Lingxi and smiled and invited Lu Lingxi to visit Xue Yongtong's flower garden.
"The plants in the store are pretty good, but there aren't enough varieties. When you have time, boss, give me a call and I'll take you to Lao Xue's flower garden. I'm afraid his plants may not be as good as yours, but there are many more varieties. I see that you have some common flowers here, but he has a greenhouse dedicated to growing flowers that are not so common on the market. It's very interesting."
Lu Lingxi was somewhat tempted, but felt embarrassed. "Is it convenient?"
"Of course, Old Xue will definitely welcome you to go. He even pointed at you and told you what's going on with that begonia."
Lu Lingxi: “…”
