I'm in the county town, and you say I'm a big shot?

Chapter 52 Give the girl a pot of orchids

Dad acted quickly. The next afternoon, Fang Qingye received a call from him saying that everything had been arranged. He asked his classmate, Uncle San, to take his son to Chengguan Middle School to report when school started. He didn't need to worry about anything else.

Fang Qingye immediately called Wang Lei to tell him the news. Wang Lei was naturally very grateful on the phone and insisted on bringing his third uncle to Fang Qingye's house to express his gratitude, but Fang Qingye refused.

"Don't come, don't come, Wang Lei. This period is a special time and I think you understand. Also, this matter is only known to you, me and your third uncle. Don't tell anyone else." Fang Qingye warned again.

"Don't worry, I've worked in the township for a year. I understand all this and won't cause any trouble for you and your father. So, I'll definitely thank you later when I have time!"

The two chatted for a few more words and hung up the phone.

After getting home from get off work in the afternoon, Fang Qingye did not stay at home. After dinner, he went directly to his grandfather's nursery - Nanxin had experienced a typhoon two days ago, and he wanted to go and see if his grandfather's nursery had suffered any damage.

Besides, it looks like I can’t stay at home in this situation.

Fang Qingye turned the corner on his scooter and headed northeast. In just over ten minutes, he arrived at the Four Seasons Nursery and rode his scooter straight in. He saw another girl, Bai Ou, in the orchid planting area.

She is wearing a short skirt today, and her legs are so white that they are dazzling.

She was dividing a pot of orchid when she heard the sound of a motorcycle. She looked up and saw Fang Qingye riding towards her. Her eyes smiled into crescents again.

"Ye Zi, come to see your grandparents?"

"Yeah, there was a typhoon two days ago. Is there any impact?" Fang Qingye replied, and the scooter stopped next to Bai Ou.

"No, I asked your grandfather." said the girl.

"That's good. What are you doing?" Fang Qingye asked.

"Divide the pots for the orchids." Bai Ou said and went back to his own business.

"Do you come here often?"

"Yes, I often come here in the afternoons recently," the girl said. "You know I like flowers and plants."

Indeed.

Bai Ou has been interested in flowers and plants since she was a child. When she applied for university, she originally planned to apply for the Horticulture major at China Agricultural University, but her father strongly disagreed:
Either she could take the entrance exam to become a teacher, or study law and work in the court or procuratorate like her uncle.

Bai Ou was a very obedient child. He finally chose to study law and was admitted to East China University of Political Science and Law, but he never gave up his hobby of flowers and plants.

Fang Qingye sat on the small step and watched the girl busy. He said, "Isn't it the right time for you to separate the orchids?"

Although he doesn't know as much about growing flowers as his grandfather and Baiou, he still knows some basic common sense. Orchids should be divided into pots mainly in spring. In summer, the weather is hot and the humidity is high, and orchids are in a semi-dormant state. Dividing the pots can easily lead to root rot and seedling rot.

"I know, but I want to take it back to school and keep it in the dormitory when school starts," the girl replied.

"Then I'll help you." Fang Qingye stopped the pedal, squatted beside the girl, and helped hold the flowerpot.

"This orchid is called Lotus Orchid. Look, do its petals look like lotus flowers?" The girl stretched out her fair hands and carefully stroked the petals.

It really looks like a lotus, blooming very brightly.

"I heard from your grandfather that this is a rare species of orchid and very expensive," the girl said again.

Fang Qingye curled his lips when he heard that.

expensive?
It's nothing but hype!
Especially in the past two years, orchids have been hyped up in Jinghai area. Any orchid with a little bit of uniqueness has been sold at sky-high prices, and there are many orchids on the market that cost millions of yuan each.

A pot of Phalaenopsis orchid like this one could be sold for up to 10 RMB at the time, but now it only costs a hundred or so RMB at most.

Seeing Bai Ou's careful handling, with beads of sweat already on her face, Fang Qingye smiled softly and said, "Don't divide it. I'll take the basin away later."

"That won't work. Your grandfather said we need to sell it for money."

"Don't listen to him. This flower is worthless now. I will tell Grandpa. You should take a rest first."

Bai Ou shared the orchid pot with me. I had been squatting for nearly half an hour and my legs were a little numb. When I heard this, I stood up and cleaned the dirt off my hands.

Fang Qingye pushed the small pedal and prepared to go to the simple house where his grandfather lived. At this moment, the mobile phone in his big pants pocket suddenly rang. It was not a mobile phone ringtone but the sound of QQ video!
"Bai Ou, help me take it out and see who it is."

The girl immediately pulled out a cell phone from his trouser pocket, took a look at it and said, "It's Liu Dong, requesting a voice chat, and also Song Dahai."

"Answer."

Bai Ou immediately pressed the answer button and pressed the speakerphone button. Liu Dong's slightly excited voice came from the microphone.

"Leaf, sea, what are you busy with?"

"I'm in my grandfather's nursery." Ye Zi replied.

"I'm in CS, tell me if you have something to say!" Song Dahai's voice came from the microphone, along with fierce gunfire.

"I'll treat you tomorrow night at six o'clock, Dingcheng Hotel." Liu Dong said. "Okay, is there something good?" Fang Qingye asked.

"I guess so. I'm now officially transferred to the Propaganda Department."

"Fuck! This is a great thing," Song Dahai's voice sounded again, but there was no more gunfire.

"We must treat this guest. It's not enough to just have a meal. We also have to go karaoke. Should we bring a few girls?" Song Dahai asked.

"Okay, I'll take one." Liu Dong agreed readily and said, "Ye Zi, can you ask Bai Ou to come too?"

Fang Qingye immediately looked at Bai Ou who was standing beside him.

The girl nodded.

"Okay, Bai Ou is in front of me now, and she congratulates you." Fang Qingye replied.

"Thank you, Dahai. What about you? Qian Xiaoli?"

"Don't mention her, or I'll get mad at you!" Song Dahai replied, then said, "Ye Zi, help me make an appointment with Chen Meimei."

"If you want to make an appointment, make it yourself!" Fang Qingye flatly refused: "You already have her phone number and QQ, why are you still looking for me?!"

"I'm a little worried that she might refuse."

"If you're worried about being rejected, just don't make the appointment! Dahai, you're so decisive in doing other things, but why are you so hesitant about this? You don't act like a man at all." Fang Qingye said.

"Fuck it! I'm going to give it my all! I'm going to call her right now!"

After saying that, Song Dahai quit the three-person voice chat. Fang Qingye said a few more words and also disconnected. The two of them walked towards the shack together.

"Ye Zi, is Dahai really pursuing Chen Meimei from your unit?" Bai Ou asked as they walked.

"Did you hear it just now? It shouldn't be fake."

Bai Ou didn't say anything. She suddenly remembered the scene when she and Qian Xiaoli were chatting at a class reunion some time ago.

"He can't escape from my grasp!"

At that time, Qian Xiaoli clenched her right fist, exuding a domineering aura.

Can't help but smile.

"Bai Ou, what are you laughing at?" Fang Qingye felt that the girl's laughter was a little strange.

"No, nothing." Bai Ou woke up and shook his head in panic.

The two walked to the shack, Bai Ou went to wash her hands, and Fang Qingye went to see her grandparents.

In fact, he had nothing else to do here. He chatted with the two old men and then followed Bai Ou to see other flowers.

It is midsummer now, and many flowers are blooming in the nursery, including hairy stylobate, coleus, hollyhock, and roses.
Fang Qingye walked and listened to Bai Ou talking about flowers. Time passed quickly and it was dark soon. The two of them prepared to go home.

Fang Qingye rode a small scooter and Bai Ou rode her own small Kun car. After saying goodbye to their grandparents and just walking out of the nursery gate, Fang Qingye suddenly remembered something.

"etc."

After saying that, he rode the small scooter back to the nursery. Not long after, he came out again. There was an extra pot of flowers on the scooter, which was the same pot of Cymbidium orchid as before.

Bai Ou smiled again, her eyes curved into crescents.

"Have you told Grandpa?"

"I said, let's go. I'll help you take the flower pot back to your home." Fang Qingye said as he rode on the small scooter.

Bai Ou's family lives in a high-rise building in a newly developed property called Bi Hai Garden in the west of the city. Fang Qingye helped move the flower pots to the 16th floor.

Bai Ou opened the door and turned on the light - there was no one inside.

"Where are your parents?" Fang Qingye asked casually.

"My dad hasn't come back from a social event yet, and my mom is out for a walk - can you come in and sit down?" Bai Ou invited.

"No, I want to go back. Don't forget to have dinner tomorrow night!" Fang Qingye said and turned to leave.

"No, bye."

"Bye-Bye."

　It will be the third update tomorrow too
