The weekend soon arrived, and Jian Xiaoxing couldn't wait to go to the hotel to meet He Xiang.
When she arrived, He Xiang, Chen Mu, and Chen Ze were already in the store.
The renovation is nearing completion and they are cleaning.
The name of the store has been decided, it is called "Yue Lai Restaurant", and Chen Xiu Lian will go find someone to make a sign later.
Jian Xiaoxing didn't stay long and urged He Xiang to set off quickly.
Mother Shen hurriedly called out Shen Ze who was cleaning in the kitchen.
"Zeze, you should go along too, and see if there's anything you can do to help."
Shen Ze glanced at Jian Xiaoxing with his dark eyes, immediately dusted off the dust on his body, and was about to push the bicycle.
Jian Xiaoxing wanted to say that it was not necessary, but he didn't say it in the end.
I haven't seen him for several days and it feels like he's becoming more and more distant, so it's good for us to stay together.
Three people, each with a bicycle, were walking on the road to Wangjia Village.
When we were in Haicheng, the roads were quite wide, but once we left Haicheng, they were all narrow country roads.
However, it is the time of lush vegetation in midsummer, and various unknown flowers on the roadside are blooming, which is a beautiful sight. The corn in the fields is growing well, and the harvest season is about to begin.
Jian Xiaoxing felt very happy looking at the vibrant countryside.
She and He Xiang chatted while riding their bikes, and their laughter was like silver bells from time to time.
And Shen Ze was behind them, slowing down and following silently, feeling the slightly hot wind blowing through the ends of his hair.
The corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, and he felt that the noisy chirping of cicadas and birds coming from the trees on the roadside was the most beautiful music.
"He Xiang, there's something I must tell you." Jian Xiaoxing's tone suddenly became formal.
The more pleasant the conversation with He Xiang, the more she felt that she should not hide it.
"Actually, I saw you arguing with Jian Yang under the locust tree that day. Jian Yang is my cousin."
"Aunt Chen told me that your last name was Jian, so I guessed you might know each other. Turns out he's your cousin."
"I've lived with my uncle since I was five years old and changed my surname to my mother's. My cousin really likes you, why did you reject her?"
After Jian Xiaoxing finished speaking, he really wanted to know her reaction, but unfortunately she was riding in front and he couldn't see her expression, only a long silence.
A few minutes later, He Xiang replied:
"You'll know when you get to my house."
Jian Xiaoxing was nervous. The closer she got to Wangjia Village, the faster her heart beat.
Soon, after following He Xiang around a few corners, Jian Xiaoxing saw an adobe house with a thatched roof.
Jian Xiaoxing thought that although many people had built red brick houses in this era, adobe houses were still the mainstream, and there were not many families that lived in such a poor condition.
Afterwards, she saw her lame father, her white-haired mother, and her younger brother whose face was so pale that it looked bloodless.
He Xiang's surname is Luo, which is a foreign surname in Wangjia Village, so it is normal for her to be excluded. Given the family's situation, her life was very difficult.
Two years ago, Luo's father wanted to make a lot of money. He was deceived by someone who said he could make a lot of money by growing flowers, so he started to open up wasteland in the back mountain.
After the flowers grew, the man ran away to the south, and no one was interested in the flowers in the back mountain and they could not be sold at all.
In this era, material needs always come before spiritual needs. It doesn’t matter, who would spend money on flowers and plants!
There are many people in the city who like to grow flowers, but Luo's father has difficulty walking, so it is impossible for him to pick flowers and sell them in the city dozens of kilometers away.
Luo's mother had long wanted him to stop fiddling with the flowers and plants, but Luo's father had already fallen in love with growing flowers. He carefully boiled water for them every day and took good care of them.
Luo's father was unable to make any money, but instead spent a lot of money on taking care of flowers and plants, which made his already poor life even worse.
He Xiang went to look for a job on her own because she heard that there were many factories in Haicheng Development Zone.
But she didn't expect that she would meet Jian Yang while working as a cleaner at Haifeng Steel Plant.
Jian Yang found her enthusiastic and energetic, and gradually fell in love with her.
But He Xiang felt that her family conditions were too poor and she was just a cleaner, which was a huge gap between her and Jian Yang, so she flatly rejected him.
After chatting with Luo's father and mother, Jian Xiaoxing found that although their family conditions were indeed not good, they were simple and optimistic, and not compassionate.
When Mr. Luo heard that she wanted to buy flowers, he was immediately overjoyed and wanted to take her to the back mountain to see the flowers.
"I was thinking it would be only a matter of time before someone came to appreciate it! This patch has roses, that has camellias, and over there is another patch with all sorts of flowers."
When Mr. Luo introduced the flower field, he looked particularly proud.
Jian Xiaoxing was very happy to see a field of bright red roses.
Those roses, some bright red, some pink, and especially large, were much better than she had imagined, and were no worse than roses.
She picked one and put it to her nose and smelled it, and a hint of fragrance filled her nose.
Jian Xiaoxing immediately fell in love with these flowers and was about to discuss the price with Luo's father when someone came and called Luo's father away.
He Xiang followed her father tactfully, leaving the flower field to Jian Xiaoxing and Shen Ze.
This area of back mountains is open and stretches out, with low peaks, one connected to the other. Chen Ze stands on a high place and looks into the distance with a refreshed look on his face, and it is obvious that he likes the environment here very much.
"The environment here is really great!" Shen Ze couldn't help but sigh, "It's much better than in Haicheng."
Haicheng was originally a saline-alkali beach, and the trees on the roadside were transplanted there later. There are few green plants, and the environment is naturally a little worse.
"Yeah, it feels like a paradise."
Jian Xiaoxing squatted beside the rose, greedily smelling the fragrance.
A gust of wind blew by, and she looked up suddenly, as if she smelled her favorite scent.
I got up and looked for it, and found a small patch of jasmine in the corner of the field of mixed flowers.
