It was just dawn on Sunday morning. For the first time in my life, I woke up naturally without the alarm clock going off. After a quick wash, I went out, hailed a taxi and headed straight to Daxue Avenue.

When we arrived at the door of the flower shop, the sun had just cast its first ray of light. The rolling shutter door of the flower shop had been closed. There were two rows of welcome flower baskets at the door. Even the firecrackers I bought yesterday were ready.

I walked into the fragrant flower shop and saw Shi Shi and his mother, both neatly dressed and sitting on the stools next to the counter, looking slightly nervous, as if they were preparing for a battle.

This is indeed like a battle. If the flower shop cannot achieve the expected results and cannot meet the needs of the two of them, then the only way waiting for them may be to return to the countryside, and their lives will go on a different path from now on.

Completely different paths.

Although I was quite confident in the marketing planning and advertising I had done before, I was inevitably a little uneasy at the moment. I pretended to be relaxed and said some irrelevant words to them, hoping to divert their attention and so that their spirits would be lifted.

Not so nervous.

I knew that if I showed nervousness at this moment, it would undoubtedly make them more uneasy. Sure enough, my calmness gradually calmed down their nerves.

When it was close to nine o'clock, I saw that other shops outside were opening for business one after another. I thought it would not affect other people's rest at this moment, so I lit firecrackers and pulled off the red cloth on the plaque. This flower shop called Shitou Ji officially opened.

After the firecrackers went off, I sat next to the stone, and the three of us waited for the customers to arrive. Time passed by, making me feel that every second was so long.

None of the three of them spoke. I knew that their moods were beginning to become tense again, and even I could no longer pretend to be relaxed.

At this moment, we are like college entrance examination students waiting for the announcement of their transcripts. No matter how hard we have worked before or how extraordinary we have performed, no one will know the results until the results are released.

I couldn't help but feel nervous secretly. If I didn't do well in the exam this time, it would not only affect the lives of two people, but it might also directly change their lives.

Finally, when it was close to ten o'clock, our first customer arrived. He was a middle-aged man. When he came in, he said that today was the fifteenth anniversary of his and his wife's wedding, and asked us to prepare a bouquet of flowers for him.

The tension of the three of us was suddenly released, especially Mother Shitou, who was so excited that she finally saw a glimmer of light in the endless darkness. Although the halo was small and weak, it represented hope. She got up hurriedly and went to give

While the guests were choosing their bouquets, I hurriedly entertained them and sat down, pouring water and lighting cigarettes.

Our excessive enthusiasm seemed to make this middle-aged man a little surprised. He looked at me and then at Mother Shit with a hint of confusion.

I smiled and wanted to explain to him, but after thinking about it I just told the truth: "Sir, please don't misunderstand me. Let me tell you the truth. This flower shop just opened today and you are our first customer. Your presence means a lot to us."

It has extraordinary significance and gives us great encouragement and hope." I said as humbly as possible.

After hearing my words, the man had a look of surprise on his face and said with a smile: "So that's it. Congratulations on your successful business. The flowers and bonsais you have here are very beautiful. Believe me, you will definitely make a lot of money!"

I

She thanked him repeatedly and poured him tea again. After a while, Shitou's mother brought over a large bunch of tied red roses. The man took them and said with a look of joy on his face: "This is the most beautiful rose I have ever seen."

, my wife will definitely like it very much, thank you."

Seeing that the guest was so satisfied, Shitou's mother hurriedly said: "Sir, you are very grateful. I wish you and your wife a happy life!"

The man nodded in a good mood, turned his eyes to the shelf, looked at it for a while, then selected a potted plant before paying and leaving.

After the man left, the three of us looked at each other and realized that everyone was in a better mood, so we couldn't help but smile in unison.

Maybe it was the first customer who brought us good luck. As soon as he left, another customer came, and then the customers came one after another, almost without interruption, and as time went by, more and more people came.

More and more people came, and at the peak, there were even a dozen customers waiting in the store. The word "busy" is not an exaggeration at all.

The customers greeted Shitou's mother and Shitou very familiarly, and even called Shitou's name with certainty. This made Shitou and his mother a little surprised, but it was difficult to ask the customers in the busy schedule.

But I know that these customers who can accurately name the stone should be netizens who have read my post. I think their clothes should be students from nearby universities. They are kind-hearted and come to patronize the flower shop.

I can't help but feel a little emotional. In this world where humanity has been lost, perhaps only these students who have not yet entered society can still maintain a kind heart. I hope they can continue to be kind, I think.

We were busy until the number of customers at the lunch restaurant was slightly reduced, but there were still one or two customers coming one after another.

I asked Shitou to simply buy three takeaways. After the three of us had lunch, we welcomed the waves of customers in the afternoon.

Shitou is responsible for packaging the bouquets and potted plants chosen by the guests for my mother, while I am responsible for entertaining the guests and collecting money.

I spent the whole afternoon busy. The excess branches and leaves cut off by Mother Shitou had piled up in a thick layer, and my fingers for collecting money were a little stiff and numb.

Although the excitement and excitement in my heart could not be clearly expressed in my busy schedule, I knew very well in my heart that I knew that my kindness finally changed the fate of two people. Although I paid almost all my fortune,

Everything seems worth it at this moment.

It wasn't until seven o'clock in the evening that the number of customers finally stopped. A quarter of an hour after the last customer left, no more customers came. I pulled the rolling shutter halfway down to signify closing.

Turning back to Shitou's mother and Shitou, he said: "Sister-in-law Shitou, you all come over and have a rest!" After saying that, he sat down on the chair and leaned his stiff back as far back as possible. When he relaxed, the tight nerves and fatigue suddenly swept over him.

This day has really made me very tired. I think Shitou and his mother must be similar to me.

Sister-in-law Shi and Shitou also came over and sat on the chair next to me. Shitou's mother looked at me and said, "Mr. Wei, thank you!" Her expression was sincere, and I knew she was expressing her gratitude to me from the bottom of her heart, not just from the bottom of her heart.

Thank me for helping her today, but thank me for everything I have done for her. Some words don’t need to be said clearly, just use a

The eyes say it all.

I smiled and shook my head and said, "Sister-in-law Shi, don't say thank you. Who made me and this kid Shitou predestined? In fact, I didn't do anything. I just didn't want to see Shitou drop out of school and go back to the countryside to farm at such a young age.

He is still young and he should have other choices."

"Uncle Wei, you are a good person. When I grow up, I want to be a good person like you!" Shitou raised his thin face and looked at me and said seriously.

I couldn't help but smile, rubbed his head and said with a smile: "Don't, I'm not a good role model. It's better for you to be a promising person!" I thought of my current unbearable situation and felt that this was too much.

It's true.

After resting for a while, I suddenly remembered that I had collected all the money today and hadn’t counted the turnover yet, so I reached out and pulled out the drawer containing the money and handed it to Shi Shi and said, “Count it and see how much it is!”

Shitou took the drawer and said with an astonished expression on his face: "Wow, so much money!" He turned around and showed it to his mother. It seemed that he had never seen so much money before, and he was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.

Shitou's exaggerated expression gave me a sense of accomplishment. If it weren't for me, he would have gone back to the countryside. This is true. I think I can be proud of it. So I said to him: "No

There will be more breaths in the future. Don’t be surprised when your eyes pop out. Count them quickly.”

Shitou's already bright eyes became even more colorful when I said this. He was probably already thinking about what it would be like to put more money than this in the drawer. He didn't say any more and quickly lowered his head to sort out all the money.

A mess of banknotes in the drawer.

After sorting it out, he counted it carefully. It took him about five minutes to finally finish counting it. He looked up at me and said with a still surprised expression: "Uncle, the total is 3,850 yuan."

Before I could say anything, Shitou's mother spoke first. She was also shocked and said in a somewhat disbelieving tone: "So many? Shitou, did you count it wrong?"

"Mom, I'm already in fourth grade, okay? I'm so good at math, how could I make a mistake in counting?" Shitou saw his mother questioning his angrily excuse.

Shitou's mother raised her head and looked at me again and said with a somewhat excited expression: "Mr. Wei, I didn't expect to sell so many on the first day. This is all due to you. Many customers knew Shitou's name as soon as they came, although you didn't.

Said, I don’t know what method you used, but I think it must be your efforts for this flower shop that the business is so good today. Thank you, Mr. Wei!"

I didn't expect that she could deduce that I was behind it all based on this alone. It seems that although she is an old-fashioned woman from the countryside and hasn't read many books, she is actually a very thoughtful woman. Just based on this.

I believe she is fully capable of running this store independently.

"Yes, I did some publicity online and distributed some flyers. But this was just a preliminary promotion for the flower shop. Although it seems to be effective now, it will slowly lose popularity soon, and I will still have to do it in the future.

You rely on your business skills to build a customer base, so what I do is only very limited and very simple. Sister Shi, please don't be polite to me."
