Chapter 3: Road full of flowers

On the National Day of 1993, Wang Bin and Ai Xiaoqing's factories were closed for three days. Wang Ai was anxious to go to Anshan Park 219, saying that she had missed that big slide for a long time. The couple discussed and thought that their son's performance was very good this month. The school teachers all responded that they were coming soon, so they agreed. A family of three got up early on the day of October 2nd and took a dazzling bus to the train station. Although Liaoyang is only 20 kilometers from Anshan, there are still trains. The key is that the trains are cheap and only two yuan.
I bought three tickets for the train at 8:45 and waited for Huangyou to arrive at Anshan at 9:30. Two family members came to play on June 1st two years ago. The wave-shaped slide in Park 219 is not to mention children, and adults are very happy. These years, this slide, two cities in Anshan, Liaoyang, with a population of more than 5 million, is just this one, you ca n’t play anywhere else. The couple didn't come and wondered how his son's memory was so good. He happily got out of the train station and waited for a 216 bus.
On the 11th National Day holiday, there will be more people playing in Anshan. Most people on the bus are next to each other. Most of them are adults with children. Children in big cities are better dressed than Wang Ai. Boys ’shirts and bibs and girls’ bows A princess skirt, and Wang Ai had a big pants, a large jacket and a large vest, and the whole came from the countryside. Ai Xiaoqing had a fever on her face, and before going out, she found no good clothes for Wang Ai. Wang Ai didn't even care about pushing it, and it was only in the big city that she became distressed.
Passing by the Anshan Central Hospital, Wang Ai suddenly made a noise to get out of the car. Ai Xiaoqing couldn't sit still in the eyes of the people around the country to see the country people. Anyway, two stops away from 219 anyway. As soon as he got out of the car, Wang Aimai ran forward with his short legs. The couple were unknown, so they chased after him. When Wang Ai plunged into a shop called "South China Flower Shop", the two had to keep up. .
Opening the store door, a few people holding flowers came out, and when they entered the store, they found that Wang Ai and the staff were talking.
The clerk was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl and asked Wang Ai with a smile: "Children, do you buy flowers?"
Wang Ai lifted his head and held his hand: "My family grows flowers!"
The clerk's last name is Liu, from Mayitun, Liaoyang County, and the flower shop was opened by a relative at home. These days, the sales of flowers have greatly increased, but the supply of supplies is not enough. Most of the flowers in this year have been shipped from foreign countries, and a small part has to be shipped by air from Guangdong. A rose of twenty yuan is not discounted, a carnation is fifteen, a starry bouquet of eighteen yuan, love it or not, thank you for your patronage. With eyes closed for good business and no supply, Miss Liu's aunt, Miss Liu is worrying these days.
At first glance, a mosquito's legs were fleshy. After hearing the news, the young lady Liu hurriedly came out of the back room, and she didn't care that the other party was a child. Zhangkou asked: "What kind of flowers do you grow in your family?
Wang Bin and Ai Xiaoqing walked into the door and listened to a cloud of water. Wang Bin was about to speak, and Ai Xiaoqing was snatched. I heard Wang Ai answer: "No roses, my family has old nose roses, carnations, starry sky, hydrangea, golden balls."
Young Liu was a little disappointed at first. Although there were many varieties, it seemed that they were not professional flower growers. I also want to come, my flower shop only opened for one year this year. How can a farmer grow flowers professionally? Relatives in Liaoyang County have not planted a lot, and they cannot provide at all.
However, Wang Ai's words pleased the young Liu. Wang Ai gestured with two small arms: "My family has a large warm cellar, and it can be planted in winter."
In recent years, the warm cellar, which is a plastic greenhouse, is still a rarity. It has invested thousands of dollars. A farmer can not earn 500 yuan a year. However, if flowers are cultivated in the north, there must be a warm cellar. What?
"That boy, how about seeing your family plant flowers and sell them to me? The price is negotiable." The young woman Liu looked at Wang Ai with a gaze.
Wang Ai nodded: "Wow, what price do you give?"
Several adults looked at each other and smiled. Wang Bin pressed in confusion and didn't say a word, Ai Xiaoqing walked forward boldly to discuss the price with Liu Liu. After talking about it, I know how expensive this flower is, basically half the selling price is the purchase price. The young lady Liu was out of stock and was in a hurry, so she planned to use roses as a rose. Anyway, Chinese people can see few of them this year. The price is based on the price of the rose, one ten yuan. Let the niece go to the photocopying agency and make a copy for the family of three to take away. Before I left for the door, I also stuffed a business card.
Wang Bin went in dizzy and came out dizzy. He didn't wake up until he went to 219. How was this confused his daughter-in-law and his son talking about a sale? Besides, when does the family plant flowers, how can there be a warm cellar?
Ai Xiaoqing whispered to Wang Bin that the sale was a success. The last month's work was only 70 or 80 yuan in salary, and the couple added 15 yuan to spend.
These two couples didn't even bother to play with Wang Ai. They promised to get Wang Ai to Xinhua Bookstore in Anshan City at noon, and they planned to come out at noon anyway.
I bought a lot of technical books on flower planting and agricultural greenhouses at the bookstore, turned around and went to the Anshan Flower, Bird and Fish Market, bought a lot of flower seeds and half-large seedlings, and found them when I wanted to eat at noon. The more than one hundred dollars that I have spent are completely negligible, let alone going to the restaurant, and going through all my pockets will leave the money for the home ticket.
Ai Xiaoqing apologized by holding her son, saying that he was playing with his son, but he forgot his son and paid for it.
Wang Ai waved generously: you owe it first! Two meals off the restaurant!
How could the couple talk about the price? Busy promises come down.
Although Eleven didn't make it, they found a way to get rich. The couple made a total of their eyes. With their eyes squinting into the winter, the greenhouse must be deducted. There is not much money in the family to make a small one first. In the factory, I bought some scrap steel bars and iron bars, and simply welded them. I took a rope and tied it with a bamboo pole. I went to the agricultural technology station and bought half a roll of plastic film. I leaned on the backyard wall. Here comes a simple shed with a square meter. Although the two couples are not planting flowers, they can be regarded as professional in terms of planting land. While reading the book, they groped, and bought hundreds of seedlings of various flowers at the flower and bird fish market. After half a month, Wang Ai used to The memories I have had are pretty good.
After waiting for a couple of hours, I realized that I didn't see a penny. Instead, it took hundreds of people to go out. Although I was young and had seen the world, I was a little bit embarrassed. By the end of October, it was cold, and Wang Ai urged the couple to go to the ground to pick up a cart of straw and return to lay mats. After the mating, the mats were hung on the roof of the greenhouse and put down at night to keep warm. The couple were busy while they were at work. The tired back hurts. At the end of November, the first batch of flowers were just fine. I walked next to the roots of the wall and counted them. The various flowers add up to about thirty flowers.
Ai Xiaoqing was furious and slowly, picking up the phone in his accounting office.
