Chapter 300: Horror World? I Just Want to Fall in Love with Plants (15)
Wang Yiyi turned her head sharply and covered her mouth to hold back her laughter.
Xing Chen raised his head and glared at Yun Dui, "Alright, you better stop talking."
Yun Dui's eyes were full of pride and doting.
If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. He sat aside and took Xing Chen's hand, tapped his fingertips, looked at the palm, touched the clear lines, and had a lot of fun.
"Are you the only one in charge of the store every day?" Xing Chen asked Wang Yiyi.
Wang Yiyi shook her head. "Normally, Aunt Qing and I take turns to work the morning and evening shifts. There's also a Xiao Wu in the store who's mainly responsible for delivery. Today, Xiao Wu wasn't feeling well and asked for leave, so Aunt Qing went to deliver the delivery orders herself."
“Are there many regular customers in the store?”
"This year, the alley behind us has been demolished again, and the area has become very chaotic. The business of the store is entirely supported by old customers. Otherwise, there would be almost no business."
“Will there be bulk group purchases?”
"Auntie Qing is popular. After visiting some units and getting familiar with their leaders, she will also ship a large amount of flowers when they are needed during festivals. However, this amount is still too small. After all, most of the ones with connections are snatched up by those with connections."
As they were talking, the electronic doorbell rang again.
Xing Chen turned around and saw a woman in her thirties walking in. She had big red wavy hair, high heels on her feet, and elegant makeup on her face. She looked mature and charming.
As soon as she entered the room, before Wang Yiyi could ask, she walked towards them in a charming manner, "Yiyi, we have guests."
Wang Yiyi smiled and replied when she heard her voice, "Auntie Qing, you're back. These are the two kind-hearted young men I met when I went to sell flowers the other day. They came to the store today on the weekend to take a look around."
While talking, Wang Yiyi skillfully poured Li Qing a glass of warm lemonade without ice.
Li Qing took the cup from her and drank most of it in one breath, then raised her head and patted Wang Yiyi on the shoulder, and greeted Xing Chen and Yun Dui in a familiar manner: "Welcome, welcome, Yiyi, you are so lucky. Your Aunt Qing has seen countless people in more than 30 years, but she has never seen anyone as good-looking as you."
Wang Yiyi nodded desperately, "Although I can't see it, I know it!"
"Aunt Qing, you're too kind," Xing Chen pointed to several unique decorations in the store, "I've been to many flower shops, big and small, and have seen all kinds of decoration styles. The overall style of your store can be said to be unique."
Li Qing was happier to hear Xing Chen praising her store than to hear Xing Chen praising herself.
After all, everything in the store is the result of her years of hard work.
"Yiyi, today's orders have been completed. These two handsome boys are here for the first time. Please make a bouquet of flowers for them."
"okay."
Li Qing sat down opposite Xing Chen and the others and drank up the water in the glass. "Yiyi has surpassed me now. When she gets these flowers, she can tell what kind of flowers they are just by touching the branches. For flowers, the rest of us just look at them with our eyes, but she is different. She uses her heart and has her own considerations, so the flowers she makes always surprise people."
Wang Yiyi was picking out flowers in the freezer and replied with a smile: "Auntie Qing taught me well."
Li Qing looked over, his eyes filled with relief.
Although she is a woman of heavy color, her temperament reveals the gentleness of a mother.
"Wang Yiyi just said that there's a demolition going on nearby?" Xing Chen asked casually.
Li Qing nodded, "It's not the first time, there have been many incidents over the years, Yiyi lives in the alley behind, and there are old neighbors who have lived there for decades.
Strictly speaking, the houses here are all illegal. Decades ago, no one cared about this place, and these houses were built by poor people who gathered together and helped each other.
After living here for so many years, we had no idea of land use rights. Later, when the authorities wanted to demolish the land, they found out that there was no land use right, so each family received almost no compensation.”
Xing Chen frowned, "No compensation?"
"A few tens of thousands of dollars for a family is almost negligible. How can ordinary people win over the lawyers of big companies? So if they want to demolish the house, everyone will definitely disagree. Where will I live if you demolish it? I can't live in the open air with my family, so I keep making trouble and stop the demolition.
As time went by, the originally good place became more and more chaotic, and fights were common. People outside didn't know the situation, and more and more people didn't dare to come here. "
Wang Yiyi picked the flowers and stood beside the long table with her head lowered. Her hands moved skillfully as always, but her hollow eyes showed sadness.
Everyone was silent for a long time.
Wang Yiyi wrapped the bouquet and presented it to Xing Chen.
She used very light pink roses and a large amount of fountain grass. The roses were gorgeous, and the curved stems and leaves of the fountain grass were skillfully tied to the roses like vines, neither pressing nor covering them, and acting shyly and timidly.
After seeing the bouquet, Xing Chen subconsciously looked towards Yun Dui.
Yundui looked at him in the same way.
The two of them had the same thought in their minds: Wang Yiyi was such a smart and sensitive girl.
Xing Chen took the bouquet and said, "Thank you, it's really beautiful and very suitable for... me and Yundui."
While Yundui stood up to put the cup of water into the sink, he took out his mobile phone and scanned 10,000 yuan to the store. When the payment reminder sounded, Li Qing hurried over to stop him.
"This is your first time here, and we agreed that this bouquet of flowers is for free. Even if you want to charge for it, it can't be this expensive."
"Xing Chen likes flowers. We will come here often on weekends in the future. Just treat it as an annual membership card in the store."
"How can this be so embarrassing? Our family's flower bouquets are cheap. I don't know how long it will take to use so many flowers at once."
"You'll have to give it to me later anyway, so take your time, it's all the same."
Yun Dui looked at the bouquet of flowers and was extremely satisfied.
The bouquet seemed like he was wrapping his baby around himself, and Xing Chen was his only rose.
The four of them sat in the flower shop and chatted for a while, then Xing Chen and Yun Dui stood up and prepared to leave.
Li Qing and Wang Yiyi saw them off to the door.
"Yiyi, you should go back too. You have been here since early morning. It's already this late, and there won't be any more orders today. Go back and have a rest."
"Xiao Wu is not here, I will stay with you for a while."
"No, just listen and go back quickly."
Xing Chen bent down to put the flowers in the car. After hearing their conversation, he stood up and asked, "Wang Yiyi can leave work now?"
"She got off work early," Li Qing explained, "Xiao Wu was on break, so she took on the time of two people."
"Wang Yiyi, would you mind taking me to the alley behind? The alley you described is very interesting," Xing Chen said, turning to look at Li Qing, "Auntie Qing, don't worry, Yun Dui and I have no other intentions. We are just curious about the life in the alley."
"I've met so many people, I still have some insight into people," Li Qing patted Wang Yiyi on the shoulder, "You didn't come back so late today, I guess Grandma Wang is talking about you at the alley entrance, go back quickly."
Wang Yiyi then went back to the store to get her cell phone and blind stick, said goodbye to Li Qing, and took Xing Chen and the others to the shantytown across a small river.
After the three of them crossed the bridge, but before they reached the alley entrance, they heard a fierce quarrel coming from the alley entrance.
