"No! Twenty is too expensive. I bought them all and you still charge the same price. I feel uncomfortable! No, no!"
The flower shop owner had already endured the pain and sold the flowers at a loss, but Du Chen was still not satisfied. The flower shop owner really wanted to tell Du Chen to "get lost", but when he thought of how his tigress had been picking on him because of the money tree, the flower shop owner forced himself to suppress his dissatisfaction.
"Brother, I'm really selling this at a loss! The price can't be any lower!"
"If I can't get it cheap, then you can just give me something else!"
Du Chen finally revealed his true colors.
"What do you want?"
"Please give me a few more pots of peonies and Clivia!"
Du Chen stared at the flower shop owner, wanting to see his expression.
The flower shop owner's expression changed for a moment, and finally nodded.
"I'll give you three pots of peonies and a pot of Clivia. Is that okay with you?"
"Okay, deal!"
Du Chen immediately said to the flower shop owner.
"But you have to deliver the goods to me. I can't carry so much by myself!"
Immediately afterwards, Du Chen put forward his own request.
"Okay! I'll deliver!"
The flower shop owner gritted his teeth and said again.
Du Chen left his address and payment, then led a few people to continue wandering around the market.
After a long walk, Du Chen bought a fish tank and a few koi, and finally achieved his goal for the day.
Xiami was driving in front, and the flower shop owner was driving a van behind Xiami's car. The group returned to the community.
"What the hell, can you help my brother deliver the stuff?"
Standing at the door of the building, Du Chen gave Xiami instructions.
"Okay, okay, no problem, Brother Chen!"
"Little brother, where did you move your money tree?"
The flower shop owner was also asking Du Chen anxiously. He wanted to finish delivering the goods quickly and make some more money before the New Year.
"Boss, follow my brother upstairs. Sister Miaomiao, go ask Uncle Ding if he wants the money tree. If not, put the rest in the glasses shop, and then my dad and Uncle Ding will deliver it to Liu Yuying and the others!"
Du Chen first spoke to the flower shop owner, and then to Ding Miaomiao.
Du Chen stood at the door of the building, looking at the goods on the trucks. A moment later, Du Bin, Ding Miaomiao, Lao Du, and Lao Ding all got out. Looking at the things on the two vans, Lao Du and Lao Ding were both confused.
"Chenchen, are you moving the store back?"
Old Ding asked Du Chen in surprise.
"Haha, Uncle Ding, Dad, I accidentally bought too much!"
Du Chen pretended to be guilty and spoke to Comrade Lao Du and Lao Ding, while Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao looked at him with a frown.
"Dad, this is the fish tank and fish I bought for you. Since you're here, just carry the tank back yourself!"
Du Chen pointed at the fish tank on the seat and said to Comrade Lao Du.
"Second brother, you want your mother to teach me a lesson, right? Your mother will definitely think that I asked you to buy it!"
Comrade Lao Du looked at the 40*80 fish tank in front of him with great joy, but a wry smile appeared on his face.
"It's okay, Dad. I've already figured out how to tell my mom. Don't worry!"
Du Chen said to Comrade Lao Du with full confidence.
"Where's the fish? What kind of fish did you buy?"
Since the purchase had already been made, Comrade Lao Du did not hesitate to ask Du Chen.
Du Chen carefully took out a plastic bag from the seat in front of him, in which five koi were swimming.
"Is this a carp? It looks pretty though!"
Old Ding was also looking at the koi in the plastic bag with envy and curiosity, while asking Du Chen.
"That's right, Uncle Ding, it's a carp, but this one is a koi!"
Then Du Chen briefly talked about koi with Comrade Lao Du and Comrade Lao Ding. In fact, he had just heard what the fish seller said, and he himself only had a vague understanding of it.
"By the way, is that a tree you bought?"
Comrade Lao Du pointed at the money tree on the van and asked Du Chen.
"Dad, it's considered an ornamental flower, right? This one's called a money tree. I think it has a good meaning. It looks good in the house, and it's festive during the New Year!"
"Then why did you buy so much? Aren't you afraid of your mom beating you? You shouldn't spend money like that. Besides, where will we put it in our house?"
Comrade Lao Du pointed at more than ten pots of money trees and asked Du Chen with a headache.
"Dad, I'm going to use the rest as gifts. I'll give two pots to Uncle Liu Yuying and Uncle Wang Lei each. What a wonderful meaning! You and Uncle Ding can think of other people to give the rest to. There are money trees in many stores in the south!"
Du Chen explained his ideas to Comrade Lao Du.
"Hey, that's a good point! Lao Du, let's find some time tomorrow to send it to Liu Yuying and the others. It's more interesting than just sending ordinary gifts. We were originally planning to visit Liu Yuying and the others tomorrow!"
After hearing what Du Chen said, Old Ding looked at the money tree carefully again. The more he looked at it, the more beautiful it seemed to him.
"Boss, little brother, can we hurry up? The money tree can't stand the cold!"
The flower shop owner looked at them talking and had to remind them carefully.
"Right, right, right, Lao Ding, help me move the fish tank up there. I'll take the boss to deliver the money trees to the optical shop. It's warm there too. We'll deliver them to Liu Yuying and the others tomorrow!"
When Comrade Lao Du heard what the flower shop owner said, he quickly spoke to Lao Ding.
"Wait, bring two pots home to me first! I really like them!"
Old Ding quickly said to the flower shop owner.
The other party nodded, picked up a money tree and walked upstairs.
After a lot of trouble, all the things were finally moved upstairs.
"What? Take your time on the way back. Take this box of apples and these watermelons back and share them with the brothers. I may not have time to go to the roller skating rink right now! Let's go there after the New Year!"
Seeing that there was no one around, Du Chen instructed Xiami.
"Okay, Brother Chen, I won't be polite with you anymore. I'd like to thank you on behalf of my brothers, and by the way, I'd like to wish you a happy new year!"
Xiami bowed to Du Chen and said.
"Okay, you've been busy with me all day, go back quickly!"
Du Chen waved at Xiami and turned to walk towards his home.
"Du Chen! Come on, tell me why you bought so many things!"
As soon as they entered the house, Ren Surong asked Du Chen. Lao Ding and Jia Xiaomin were also sitting on the sofa, watching with a smile how Du Chen would argue. Comrade Lao Du was taking the flower shop owner to the eyewear store to unload the flowers and had not returned yet.
"Mom, it's not Chinese New Year, and it's our first Spring Festival in our new home, so I think we should celebrate it properly!"
Du Chen said to Ren Surong with a smile on his face.
"Okay, what about these two potted saplings? Who else has two trees in their home?"
Ren Surong pointed at the two money trees and asked Du Chen.
"Mom, this thing is called a money tree. Many big bosses in the south have money trees at home. Doesn't this mean that our family will have good luck and make a fortune next year? And Uncle Ding likes it too, right, Uncle Ding!"
Looking at Lao Ding who was watching the fun, Du Chen decisively pulled Lao Ding into the water.
