the night, Huo Ming's legs went weak and he leaned against the door frame.He had truly made up his mind to stay out of it.Although Li Jia caught the manager red-handed, he insisted on pretending noth...The owner of the flower garden was a man over sixty, accompanied by a grandson in his teens.

It is said that the son-in-law saw that growing flowers was not profitable, so they went to another place to do business. Now only the old man in the family continues to insist on the traditional skills passed down from his ancestors.

I heard that the Li family was going to buy orchids, and the old man was very happy.

He led the group to a small, secluded shed on the edge of the garden. It was a place where sunlight dappled through the foliage, casting shadows and offering a cool respite. Two flowerpots stood there.

The broad green leaves, with several flower stems sprouting in the middle, were only half-grown and leaning to one side, looking wilted and lifeless.

Even if the Li family did not understand orchids, they could still tell the difference between good and bad.

These two pots of flowers are obviously having problems!

Li Lao'er frowned and asked, "Uncle, what are you... planning to sell these two sick flowers to us"

The old man's face flushed red, and he stammered for a long time before finally admitting defeat. "Sir," he said straightforwardly, "my grandson and I are planning to go live with our son and daughter-in-law so that we can be reunited as a family. These two pots of calla lilies, also known as autumn banners, happen to be in bloom at this time of year."

“It was already promised to a wealthy gentleman in the city, but unfortunately my little grandson overslept and didn't watch the animals. The animals ate all the flower buds in a few bites. The nobleman took one look and left, refusing to buy them. You just happened to come by, so I thought…I thought I’d…try”

He said it nicely, but in reality he's treating the Li family like suckers, assuming they don't understand and trying to swindle them into buying it. It's better for him to sell it at a loss than to keep it himself.

The old woman and Li Laoer both had bad complexions, but Jia Yin struggled to the ground and leaned over to take a closer look.

Actually, both the leaves and flower stalks are intact, it's just that the flower buds are gone.

If it were in someone else's hands, I'm afraid it would truly take a year and a half to cultivate, waiting for next year to bloom again.

But she had a greenhouse, so it wasn't a problem at all.

Even dried-up melon seeds stuck to the wall can sprout into vines, these two orchids are just minor injuries!

Jiayin ran back to Li Lao Tai's side, pulled her grandmother's hand, and scratched the palm of her grandmother's hand.

Li Laotai understood, guessing her granddaughter had a way, but she didn't show it on her face.

She opened her mouth to speak, when a cry came from not far away. A green mule suddenly dashed out of the wooden fence behind her, followed by the old man’s grandson.

The more this boy thought about it, the angrier he became. It was because this mule had stolen and nibbled on the orchid that he couldn't go home early to reunite with his parents. So, he grabbed a whip and wanted to give the mule a good beating.

The mule wasn't tied securely and ran away.

The old man stamped his foot angrily and shouted, "Can't you just be honest with me for a while Why are you hitting it It can still bloom!"

Having said that, he still wanted to apologize to the three members of the Li family, but when he saw the three members of the Li family looking at the grey mule with surprise on their faces!

The old man was completely baffled. He asked cautiously, "That, sir, these two flower pots... are you interested in buying them"

Li Lao Er came to his senses and glanced at Li Laotai. Seeing her nod, he quickly said, "We'll have to raise it for a year before it might even bloom, it's really risky. You name your price. If it's reasonable, I'll take it back and try raising it."

The old man hesitated for a long time, then quoted a price, "Fifty taels for two pots!"

Having said that, he was afraid Li Lao Er would find it too expensive, so he added, "I really don't want much. If it weren't for the buds being gone, a pot of flowers would cost fifty taels!"

Li Laoer waved his hand and pointed to the big gray mule, saying: "Two pots of flowers, plus this mule, a total of fifty taels. If you agree, we'll take them away immediately!"

Orchid plus mule

What combination is this Is it about orchids or mules

The old man swallowed hard, thinking that the orchid was half dead and wouldn't fetch a good price. The mule was also thin with long, coarse hair, and no one would buy it. If he sold them together, it would be a clean break.

So, he quickly nodded, "Sold."

Li Laoer asked with gusto, but when he touched his pouch, he felt embarrassed. He had only brought out a dozen ounces of silver when he left home.

Fortunately, Old Mrs. Li had prepared for her grandson's school trip and placed silver in the compartment of the train car.

Putting the two amounts together, they make up exactly fifty taels.

Thus, when the Li family's carriage left the nursery, there were two pots of orchids in the carriage, and a mule was tied to one side of the shaft.

Not until they had traveled a considerable distance did the carriage stop. Li Lao Er and the old woman got out, surrounding the mule, both of their eyes red with emotion.

"Big Qing This is Big Qing from our family!" Old Lady Li asked in disbelief.

"Definitely not wrong, there's still a scar here on my butt." Li Lao Er replied confidently.

Jia Yin leaned against the window, unable to help but touch her nape of her neck, subconsciously still feeling a bit sore.

At first, when everyone just stepped out of the mountains and saw the Jinsha River Wharf in front of them, they were overjoyed and lost their vigilance. As a result, they were chased by a group of barbarians.

Old Mrs. Li held Jia Yin on her back and fled on the big blue ox. However, the ox was shot in the buttocks by an arrow, throwing off Old Mrs. Li and Jia Yin before galloping away without a trace.

The family thought Daqing had died somewhere, but who would've thought we'd run into him here.

The big, strong Qing who used to be so healthy was now thin and gaunt, his fur dull and gray.

At this moment, it also recognized Old Li and Second Li, and its eyes actually had a glimmer of light. It wagged its tail and sneezed.

"Alright, alright, this is one of our own!" Lao Li said with some excitement.

"Get back home quickly. The fourth brother is more familiar with Daqing, just let the fourth brother feed him for a few days." Li Laoer also chimed in.

Old Li and Li Lao'er got back in the car. Yueshan flicked his whip and hurried home.

Winter Plum carefully protected the two pots of flowers, afraid they might break from the jostling.

Though this flower may not look impressive, once it enters the Li family, it will surely be treated with great care and attention.

Don't ask her why, the Li family just has this magical ability...

Jiayin didn't know she had already been deified in Dongmei's heart. She was secretly rubbing her buttocks, the road was really too bumpy, even with thick pads, her bones were about to be shaken apart.

Fortunately, Old Lady Li held her in her arms and rocked her gently. She fell asleep again.

Li La Er was still thinking about his niece wanting to go to the restaurant, but seeing her sleeping soundly with her mouth open, he felt relieved.

Sui Jin Tan beach was bustling today as well.

With the orchards on the mountains and the riverbanks deserted, the village head was preoccupied with putting road construction and bridge building on the agenda.

The road from Xindu to Suijin Beach was never good to begin with, and these past two years, with all the traffic, it's gotten even worse. It's full of potholes, and every few days, a carriage gets broken down on it.

It's really hopeless!

Previously, the village headmen of Dahuai Tree Village and Wang Zhuang agreed to contribute both manpower and resources, after all, Suijin Beach was the foundation and reliance for everyone.

So the village head called the three of them over, had them sit under the "Auspicious Feng Shui" sign, and while puffing on a dry pipe, they discussed matters.

The village headman of Da Huai Shu Village, being an old man with some weather experience, said: "Brother, although our place doesn't usually get heavy snowfall every winter, once the ground freezes, it becomes impossible to work on it again."

Look at this day, in another month it will definitely be winter. So, why don't we make a big deal of it and finish all the work before winter comes!
