On the weekend, I made an appointment to have dinner at Wu Kun's house.
In the afternoon of that day, Xu Tingsheng's four members got together first to discuss and prepare presents.
Tan Yao bought toys for the children, a remote control car, and a toy gun, Fang Yuqing brought two bottles of red wine that were said to be very expensive from home, and Huang Yaming bought fruit...
Xu Tingsheng thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure out what to give as a gift. Under such circumstances, he was too embarrassed to take out his "precious French perfume" to mess around...
In the end, the old way is to buy flowers.
Xu Tingsheng deliberately went to the flower shop where he visited Zhang Yan to buy flowers in the hospital last time. The reason why I came here is because I left an impression last time, the proprietress of this flower shop feels very peaceful and down-to-earth.
Generally speaking, Xu Tingsheng is a person who is very trouble-free. He is good at dealing with people and things. He likes whoever and what can make him feel not tired or complicated.
Xu Tingsheng briefly explained his needs, and the proprietress recommended him a matching bouquet and a small potted plant.
When she was wrapping flowers, Xu Tingsheng was playing with a cute little boy in the shop.
The noise came from outside the store, Xu Tingsheng heard it, and led the little boy to get up to look.
A young man threw a dead potted plant on the ground, throwing out mud all over the ground, and shouted loudly: "The potted plant worth more than 500 yuan died within less than a month. You are not cheating, but What? What do you think about this matter?"
Xu Tingsheng didn't know much about plants, so he couldn't tell what kind of potted plant it was, but five hundred yuan was still a bit expensive.
"Sorry, you may have to wait a little longer." The proprietress apologized to Xu Tingsheng.
Xu Tingsheng said, "It's okay, you can do your work first."
"Thanks."
The proprietress put down the half-wrapped bouquet, walked forward, smiled gently and said, "Don't be angry, let me see, if it's the potted plant itself, I will compensate you."
While talking, the proprietress took a small soil shovel and dug a small hole from the root of the potted plant, then took a handful of soil, put it in the palm of her hand, looked at it, squeezed it, looked up and said:
"Have you bought this potted plant and transplanted it at home? There is something wrong with the soil. If you use the soil from the original pot, this should not happen."
After the proprietress finished speaking, Xu Tingsheng noticed that the young man's expression changed. Obviously, the proprietress was right.
But just for a moment, the man regained his initial aggressive state, and said in a growl: "What's not earthy? I don't understand. What you mean by that is to deny it, right?"
"But this is indeed caused by soil replacement and transplantation."
When the proprietress was arguing, her tone of voice was still gentle. After speaking, she got up and washed her hands, wiped them clean, and continued to wrap flowers.
The young man seemed to have a feeling that he was angry and had nowhere to vent his anger. He froze for a moment, then reached out and knocked over a pot of kumquats placed on the shelf in front of the store. The porcelain pot fell to the ground and shattered immediately. Covered with potting soil.
The proprietress glanced at him, then put down the bouquet in her hand, and said, "Speak up if you have something to say, don't worry."
"I'm anxious?" The young man noticed that the other party seemed to be easy to bully, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, another pot of orchids was knocked down by him. "I'm anxious?! If I really care about you, I can smash your broken shop, do you believe it or not? My buddy is a person who hangs out, you know?"
The proprietress looked at the two potted plants on the ground and was silent for a while.
When the young man reached out to push the third potted plant, Xu Tingsheng reached out and grabbed his wrist, saying, "Brother, it's almost done."
The young man looked at him, raised his chin and said, "Meddle in business? What kind of onion are you?"
Before Xu Tingsheng could answer, the little boy behind him rushed forward, kicked the young man's calf, raised his head and said, "I told you to bully my mother."
"Oh, you little brat."
The young man reached out to hit the little boy, but Xu Tingsheng pulled the child behind him to protect him.
The proprietress hurried over and said, "I'm sorry, the child is not sensible, I just pay you the money for the potted plant."
After finishing speaking, she went back to the store and counted five hundred yuan and handed it to the young man.
The young man took the money, counted it, and said, "Not enough, you have to pay another five hundred."
The proprietress was stunned for a moment, and said, "But the price of potted plants is five hundred yuan."
"The potted plant itself is 500, that's right, you don't need to pay for your child kicking me? And I gave this potted plant to my girlfriend's parents, and it died so soon? Is it auspicious? Am I not ashamed? This Don’t need to pay money?”
The young man continued to roar loudly.
Xu Tingsheng was actually very embarrassed about this matter. The reason was not that he didn't want to take care of it, or couldn't take care of it, but that he came twice, and at most there were only the proprietress and a young female employee in the store. Xu Tingsheng was worried that once he took care of it this time, he would not be able to help With care, the flower shop and proprietress will be troubled by others.
And the person in front of him was obviously a rogue.
Xu Tingsheng was about to ask the lady boss for her opinion. If the lady boss thought there was no problem, he wouldn't mind taking care of this matter and teaching her a lesson. In the end, before he had time to speak, the proprietress had already handed over another two hundred yuan, and said, "Then I will pay you another two hundred yuan, any more will be too much."
The young man reached out to take the money cursingly, kicked the dirt on the ground as he walked out, and said arrogantly: "Damn, if you don't do it, you won't know what kind of food the young master eats. You must force it." I... only know that I admit it. If you are in a hurry, I will smash your shop, you know?"
The proprietress didn't speak.
After he left on the motorcycle, the proprietress apologized to Xu Tingsheng and thanked him.
"Look, this almost got you involved," the proprietress said apologetically, "Also, thank you just now for helping me protect the child, otherwise things would really get serious."
"It's nothing," Xu Tingsheng said, "It's just that the lady boss is so talkative, you're not afraid that they'll be addicted to extortion, will you come again in the future?"
"Normally not. I've met him a few times before, but I never came again. What I think is that I can keep the shop open without causing trouble. If he really wants to come again, I'll call the police. Or something, there's always a way."
While the proprietress was talking, she wrapped the flowers, packed them together with the potted plants, and handed them over to Xu Tingsheng.
Because of what happened just now, the proprietress refused to accept Xu Tingsheng's money, but Xu Tingsheng still insisted on putting the money down.
He also thought about leaving a phone number for the proprietress, and asking her to find him if the other party came again in the future, he hesitated, but still didn't leave.
At first, he couldn't manage so many things.
Secondly, it is better not to break the lifestyle that others are used to and like. If you feel that others are wronged and bullied, maybe they actually enjoy this kind of peace and tranquility, and are very happy.
On the way from the flower shop to Xinghuihui and Fang Yuqing, Xu Tingsheng was surprised to see the young man who had just been in the flower shop lying on the side of the road with his motorcycle, as if he had fallen and his head was bleeding.
"Evil comes with evil."
Xu Tingsheng smiled happily.
…
…
Wu Kun's home, which was thought to be very mysterious, turned out to be not far from the back alley of Xinghui.
Several people followed Wu Kun into the yard.
"By the way, Tongtong has a brother who is a drug addict. He was arrested two days ago and has undergone compulsory detoxification. Her cousin also came to Xinghui to work yesterday. According to Tongtong himself, I listen to you and learn wine management. Energetic, very attentive."
Wu Kun said to Xu Tingsheng and smiled after speaking.
Xu Tingsheng knew the meaning of this smile. These things should all be related to Wu Kun. He arranged them. He controlled Tongtong and the people around her. Among them, the most unstable factor was Tongtong's drug addict. Brother, he simply sent him to a drug rehabilitation center.
"Although our purpose may not be very good, but this is actually a good thing for Tongtong."
Wu Kun said so. Xu Tingsheng nodded in agreement with his statement. For Tong Tong, compared to the previous mess, at least her life is changing in a good direction.
"I won't talk about it when I enter the door. Your sister-in-law doesn't like it. You can talk to her about other things."
Wu Kun patted Xu Tingsheng on the shoulder and opened the door.
"Honey, the guests are here. Four genuine college students, and the famous Xu Tingsheng, come out quickly. Hey, where is your son? Where did you little bastard go?"
"Okay, I'm cooking, I'll be here right away. You ask them to sit down first. My son is probably upstairs. You can call and try."
There was a sound from inside.
"Then you sit down first, I'll call my bastard down first."
Wu Kun went upstairs. The four of them just sat down and were looking at Wu Kun's not-so-magnificent home. The door between the living room and the kitchen was opened, and a not-so-beautiful woman in her thirties was wearing an apron. walk out.
"Welcome to the house..."
She stopped talking halfway, she looked at Xu Tingsheng, and Xu Tingsheng looked at her.
"So you are sister-in-law. Hello sister-in-law, I'm Xu Tingsheng." After being stunned for a moment, Xu Tingsheng said with a smile.
"... Oh, look, what a coincidence, so you are Xu Tingsheng." The sister-in-law also laughed.
"What? Have you met sister-in-law? Hello, sister-in-law." Huang Yaming said.
The remaining two people also shouted "Hello sister-in-law".
"Hey, okay, you are welcome to come home. It is rare to have guests at home. This time you four college students are here. I have been preparing for several days, and I am very happy." The sister-in-law replied.
"Sister-in-law is the one I told you about... In the afternoon, the flower shop proprietress." Xu Tingsheng turned to Huang Yaming and said with a wry smile.
Before, Xu Tingsheng had already told Fang Yuqing and the three of them what happened in the afternoon.
Now hearing what Xu Tingsheng said, the remaining three people shrank their necks unconsciously and shook their heads. It's too hard to imagine. This is in Yanzhou, the dignified wife of Wu Kun in Yanzhou, opened a small flower shop, but was actually blackmailed by gangsters and threatened to smash the shop...
But... He was blackmailed successfully.
The world is going crazy! Isn't that kid afraid of being sunk in the river
"Could it have been sunk in the river?"
