There are so many pedestrians, so many vendors, so many people shouting and shouting, it is very lively.
"Flowers, flowers! Who wants flowers?!"
From the "Die Lian Hua" flower shop located on the right side of the alley, there was a crisp hawking sound.
"Stop!" Laihao said to Xiwei, who was in charge of driving.
Xiwei stopped the car.
Dawei, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned around and asked: "Brother Hao, what's the matter?"
Lai Hao pointed to the front: "I want to buy a bouquet of flowers."
"Huh?" Dawei and Xiwei were stunned. They had never seen a lame man buy such a thing in so many years.
In fact, Lai Hao has never bought flowers since his wife passed away twenty years ago. Even when he went to visit his wife's grave, he always bought fruits, steamed buns, roast chicken, roast goose and other sacrifices. He said that his wife was still alive.
She had suffered too much from her at that time and had never had enough food in her life. In this life, she must have enough food for her when she is on top.
Da Wei got out of the car immediately and helped Lai Hao open the door.
Lame Hao hobbled down from the car with a cane, looked up at the flower shop, and said, "I remember it well. This flower shop has been around for a long time, it was established twenty years ago."
Dawei supported Lame Hao: "Brother Hao, you have a really good memory. Sister Yufeng used to like buying flowers here the most!"
A smile appeared in the corners of Lai Hao's wrinkled eyes: "You're right, I remember it! She likes to come here the most to buy flowers, and she loves the tulips and lilies here the most."
Dawei looked at Lai Hao and suddenly thought of something, so he shut up and stopped making any sound.
Twenty years!
Lai Hao has always secretly liked Shi Yufeng.
But he never said it.
To be precise, he didn't have the courage to say it.
He felt that he was not worthy of Shi Yufeng.
Who is Shi Yufeng? Her younger brother is the first Chinese governor of Hong Kong. She herself is one of the richest women in Hong Kong. Even as she gets older, there are still many pursuers around her, including many celebrities, gentlemen and wealthy families in Hong Kong.
What about yourself?
An old fan!
A bastard!
A bad person!
Even if you come ashore clean, these stains on your body are still difficult to remove.
Many people don't understand why he still runs for district council after becoming a justice of the peace. Only Laihao himself knows that he just wants to get closer to the high and unreachable Shi Yufeng, yes, just a little bit.
good!
The flower shop owner is a little girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, and she is arranging flowers at the moment.
Laihao glanced at her: "Are you the boss here?"
"Yes, I am." The little girl raised her head and looked at the old man with a cane, a ferocious face, but very kind eyes.
"I remember the boss was a woman in her forties..."
"She is my mother. When she got older, she left this flower shop to me."
"Oh, that's it! This can be considered an ancestral business..." Laihao said in a humorous tone.
The little girl giggled: "As soon as I heard what you said, I knew you were a regular customer. I'll give you a 10% discount later."
"Haha, I'm a regular customer among regular customers. How can 10% off be enough? At least 20% off!"
"Yes, as long as you buy more, I will give you a 20% discount on small profits but quick turnover!" The little girl is very good at doing business.
Lai Hao nodded and began to select flowers, tulips and lilies, each picking a large handful.
The little girl smiled happily when she saw that he had chosen so many. According to Laihao's wishes, she skillfully wrapped the two bouquets together, tied them with colored plastic, and tied them with colorful ropes.
"Chenghui, the total is thirty-five yuan after discounts!" The little girl handed the flowers to Lai Hao.
Dawei wants to pay the bill for Lame Hao.
Lame Hao shook his head and asked Dawei to hold the flowers first. He took out his wallet from his pocket, took out one hundred Hong Kong dollars and handed it over.
The girl smiled and asked for money.
at this time---
A small hand pulled the lapel of Lai Hao's clothes: "Sir, buy a bouquet of flowers!"
"Uh, what?" Laihao was stunned for a moment, and when he lowered his head, he saw a dirty boy holding a bouquet of wild flowers in his hand, looking at him eagerly.
Lai Hao was surprised: "Sorry, I have already bought it, as you can see!"
The little boy raised his head: "Then you can buy another bunch. I haven't eaten in a long time."
"Well?"
"My stepmother told me that if I don't sell these flowers, I won't be given food - I can go without food for three days, but not on the fourth day..."
Laihao's cold heart skipped a beat. He was moved by the little boy's words. He looked at the sallow-looking child and took out the change he had just received and gave it to him. After thinking about it, he took out another five hundred yuan and stuffed it into his hand:
"Take it, the extra money is different from what your stepmother said, you can hide it and buy food for yourself."
The little boy had never seen so much money before. He was stunned for a moment. Dawei said from the side: "Why don't you thank Mr. Wu?"
The little boy was about to speak, but the lame man squatted down and hugged him and said: "Well, you and I are both men, so there is no need to say thank you, but you must promise me to live well. As long as you live, there will be hope for the future.
…”
The little boy seemed to understand.
How did he know that when the lame man came to Hong Kong smuggled into Hong Kong, he looked even worse than him. Not to mention not eating for three or four days, and even only drinking water for a week. At that time, his biggest wish was to have a full meal.
The meals we eat, even if they are steamed buns with cold water, are still happy.
Dawei and Xiwei followed Laihao from the countryside of mainland China to the angry sea and came to Hong Kong to make a living. Now of course they understand the meaning of Laihao's words. They remember how they looked on the street without food or water and were about to starve to death. Now look at their well-dressed clothes.
, there are luxury cars coming and going, and everyone shouts "Big Wei brother" or "Small Wei brother" when they see it. This kind of two-level reversal of life is simply unimaginable.
The lame man held the little flower seller in his arms and taught him how to be a man, while a pair of eyes stared at him not far away.
She was a charming woman with a graceful appearance, and she was served by a servant. She only had one leg that was slightly disabled, and she walked with a slight limp.
Yes, she is Shi Yufeng, a well-known rich woman in Hong Kong, and the sister of the current Hong Kong Governor Shi Zhijian. It can be said that her status and wealth are superior to others.
Shi Yufeng looked at Lame Hao holding his child, with a rare hint of appreciation in his eyes, and there was also a hint of tenderness in his appreciation.
Shi Yufeng is a smart woman, but also a sensitive woman. She clearly knows what Lai Hao means to her in the past twenty years.
However, Shi Yufeng knew more clearly that she had a special status and did not allow any mistakes in her private life. She did not represent herself, but the entire Shi family.
For this reason, Shi Yufeng has always adhered to her duty, and was even willing to remain unmarried for the sake of the Shi family.
But today, her determination not to marry was shaken.
Lai Hao was teaching the little boy how to survive in such a difficult life. When he looked up, he saw Shi Yufeng standing in the distance, looking at him quietly.
Lai Hao was stunned for a moment, put the little boy down, then took the large bouquet of flowers and limped towards Shi Yufeng.
Dawei and Xiwei wanted to step forward to help him, but he pushed them away.
At this moment, the lame man was as stubborn as a child, holding flowers and dragging his lame foot, moving slowly step by step.
There were crowds of people around, cars and bicycles passing by.
He didn't care at all, he only had eyes for that woman.
Shi Yufeng looked at him quietly. The severely disabled lame man in his eyes was like a warrior holding flowers in his hands, so heroic.
Five meters, three meters, two meters, one meter!
Finally, Lai Hao passed through the crowd and the sea of cars and came to Shi Yufeng. He wanted to say something, but he was a little embarrassed and scratched his head, looking like a shy child.
Taking a deep breath, he held up the flowers, brought them to Shi Yufeng, and said, "Send them to you!"
Shi Yufeng looked at the flowers with her mouth open, as shy as a girl: "Isn't it a little late?"
"Uh? Is it too late?" Lame Hao scratched his head.
"Yes, it's twenty years too late." Shi Yufeng said, reaching out and taking the flowers.
Lai Hao almost jumped up with joy. He never expected that Shi Yufeng would really accept him.
"I'm too stupid, really!" Lame Hao said excitedly, "I thought I wasn't worthy of you! I thought you wouldn't accept me! I----"
Before Lai Hao could finish his words, Shi Yufeng reached out to block him, "Don't talk about the past anymore. You and I are over a hundred years old together. All we can do is take a walk together and watch the sunrise and sunset together..."
"
"I promise you!" Lame Hao's eyes were moist and his lips were trembling, "Even if I am a lame, when you get tired from walking, I will still carry you and continue walking..."
The two stood quietly, looking at each other.
The crowd behind them was still surging.
The great and the small are far apart.
This time they were not afraid, but afraid of disturbing Brother Hao.
For Laihao, it doesn't matter whether he succeeds in running for district council or not, because he has already obtained the most precious thing in life.
