Back in the living room, Lin Sirer asked Hua Nianping to express his opinion.
Hua Nianping said: "I want to add a pot of orchids to your room!"
Lin Sirer immediately agreed.
They decided to go to the flower market immediately and buy vegetables on the way back. Lin Sirer said that for dinner, they would make Hua Nianping's signature three-fresh wonton.
The two found out that there was the largest flower trading market in Beijing on Dongsanhuan North Road in Chaoyang District, so they took a bus there.
Hua Nianping and Lin Sirer held hands and found an orchid shop with the slogan "Orchid Friend's Home" on it. As soon as they entered, the fragrance of orchids hit their faces.
The two were immediately attracted.
The female shopkeeper entertained them warmly and kept recommending various orchid varieties to them.
It had just entered the second month of the Gregorian calendar, around the time of the Spring Festival, when spring orchids and lotus petal orchids were in full bloom. Lin Sirer stopped in front of a pot of orchids.
Hua Nianping saw the orchid in the pot with green leaves and double flowers.
The female shopkeeper praised Lin Si'er for her vision and said that this was a pot of Xishanlan orchid from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. If it could be given a good name, such as Audi Peony, Pengcheng Peony, etc., its value would definitely increase a lot in the future.
Hua Nianping heard someone say that some orchids with rare varieties and unique color petals were sold for thousands of dollars per pot. This is because around the year 2000, orchids were sold to the most outrageous prices in the market.
a period of time.
Seeing that Lin Sirer was reluctant to part with the orchid, he asked the female shopkeeper how much it would cost to buy it.
The female shopkeeper handed Hua Nianping a business card from the store and replied: "If someone else comes to buy it, I will definitely ask for a big price. Seeing that you and the little lady are handsome and love each other, they are a perfect match."
This pot of orchids can produce two butterfly flowers at the click of a button. I will give you a real price of three hundred yuan per seedling, for a total of seven seedlings. I will give you one hundred yuan, but you can give me two thousand yuan."
Lin Sirer blushed when she heard the female shopkeeper use the word "little lady" to address her. Then when she heard the price of two thousand yuan, she quickly picked up Hua Nianping and ran away from the orchid shop.
The female shopkeeper chased her out of the store and shouted: "Don't leave in a hurry, there are still some for more than ten yuan a seedling!"
The two wandered around the flower market for a while, and Lin Sirer said to Hua Nianping with relief: "I think when we have our own home in the future, it won't be too late to buy orchids to grow. My parents are not at home, and I suddenly
Put a pot of flowers in the house. Mom likes it to be clean, so she might be worried about bugs."
Hua Nianping knew in his heart that Lin Sirer really liked that pot of orchids. However, the two of them had only enough money to buy back a small seedling.
On the way back, Hua Nianping felt that although Lin Sirer was still talking and laughing to him, her interest was somewhat affected by the orchid that bloomed with two butterflies at the click of a button.
When they returned to the college, it was completely dark. As soon as the two of them entered the courtyard, Lin Sirer suddenly said "Oops", saying that she had forgotten to buy groceries.
She looked at Hua Nianping apologetically, smiled sheepishly, and said, "Husband, it's your first day living in our Lin family. I think it would be better to treat you to a meal outside first to show your welcome!"
For dinner, Hua Nianping and Lin Sirer had a Sichuan hot pot meal. In order to celebrate their happy life of one month, they also ordered two bottles of beer. Both of them could stand the spicy food. They chatted while eating and drank a sip of beer from time to time.
This meal was delicious.
Coming out of the hotel, Lin Sirer held Hua Nianping's hand and said softly, "Nianping, it's great to be with you!"
Hua Nianping replied: "Me too. If I have Si'er in this life, I will be happy forever!"
It was late at night when we got home. Lin Sirer put hot water in the bathtub, carefully prepared Hua Nianping's pajamas, slippers, towels, shampoo, and shower gel, and asked him to take a bath.
Hua Nianping asked Lin Sirer to wash first, but she insisted that Hua Nianping was a guest and must take priority. Hua Nianping came out after washing and saw that Lin Sirer had made the bed in the study for him.
He hesitated at the door and had no intention of entering the study immediately.
Lin Sirer asked in confusion: "Is there anything else you want me to do?"
Hua Nianping shook his head and said hesitantly: "Si'er, I want -"
Lin Sirer's heart skipped a beat, she looked at him timidly and said, "What do you want, tell me!"
Hua Nianping looked at Lin Sirer affectionately with grateful eyes and said, "Promise me to let me hug you. I also think that during this period, from now on, we can hug each other once every day before going to bed."
Lin Sirer breathed a sigh of relief. She raised her delicate eyebrows out of habit and meekly opened her arms to Hua Nianping.
Hua Nianping moved forward and hugged her tightly, while murmuring: "Thank you, the love of my life, never let me lose you!"
Lin Sirer waited for Hua Nianping to let go, pulled him to the bed, and said like coaxing a child: "My dear, don't think about it, have a good sleep. I haven't taken a shower yet!"
She turned off the light for him and closed the door tightly.
Hua Nianping did not go to bed immediately. He waited for Lin Sirer to enter the bathroom, heard the sound of running water, and then slipped from the study to the living room. After making two phone calls, he went to bed with satisfaction.
The next day, Hua Nianping slept until about nine o'clock in the morning before getting up. Lin Sirer had already prepared breakfast in the restaurant. During the meal, he asked her what her plans were for today.
Lin Sirer said that she received two calls in the morning. One was from her father from the United States, who had successfully arrived at her aunt's house in Sanlan City; the other was from Hong Fang, who made an appointment to go to Xidan for barbecue at noon. She
He said that he would be able to reply to Hong Fang later because he still needed Hua Nianping’s consent.
Hua Nianping said it didn't matter. He could go to the school cafeteria to eat alone at noon. During the early winter vacation, the teachers' cafeteria was still open as usual.
Lin Sirer said that if Hua Nianping didn't want to, she definitely couldn't leave him behind.
Hua Nianping said that he wanted to take time to go to Xishan Botanical Garden.
While the two were talking, Hong Fang called Lin Sirer again and asked if she had thought about it. Lin Sirer said that she must bring someone with her. Hong Fang asked who to bring, but Lin Sirer refused to answer on the phone and said that she would meet him.
You'll know when you meet.
Hong Fang laughed loudly on the phone and said that she had already guessed that it was her beloved Hua Nianping. If the two of them were willing to enjoy the show together, it would be a dream. So she and her boyfriend agreed to drive to the gate of the college to pick her up at eleven o'clock.
In order to prevent others from discovering that Hua Nianping lives at the dean's house, the two of them never stick together in the college to avoid acquaintances and avoid suspicion. Hua Nianping always goes out first, and Lin Sirer closes the door after a while.
Leaving home, they were separated by dozens of meters on the road. It wasn't until they walked out of the entrance of the college and walked forward that the two of them could walk hand in hand.
Seeing that it was almost time, Hua Nianping and Lin Sirer planned to change out of their pajamas and leave one after another as usual.
At this moment, several car horns rang outside, and then the doorbell at home also rang. The two people in the room looked at each other in shock. It wasn't until the doorbell rang several times in succession that Lin Sirer finally
Hold your head and open the door.
Unexpectedly, Hong Fang and her boyfriend arrived early and drove the car to the door of their house.
In the car just now, Hong Fang used the new mobile phone Lieutenant Tao bought her to talk to Lin Sirer, so she was able to arrive immediately. At that time, mobile phones were not affordable for ordinary people, let alone students.
Lin Sirer and Lieutenant Tao in the cab were greeting each other, while Hong Fang had already walked straight to the living room as casually as if she had returned to her own home.
