Jin Enhua muttered to himself. Asking his third uncle to willingly hand over his treasure was harder than picking stars from the sky.
That treasure was a pot of iron tree that had been placed in Third Uncle's bedroom and rarely shown to others for decades. The Iron Tree, because its trunk was as hard as iron and liked iron fertilizer, was named the Iron Tree. It was a precious and rare plant, and potted sago trees were even rarer. Third Uncle's iron tree was a family heirloom of the Jin family. It was said to have lived for more than a hundred years. When it was passed down to Jin Enhua's father's generation, Third Uncle was the only one in the family who could be considered literate, so he naturally took over the treasure. Sago ironwood grew slowly and could live for more than 200 years. However, potted Sago ironwood bloomed irregularly and was not easy to see. Therefore, there was a saying that " Thousand-year Sago ironwood bloomed ", which meant that it bloomed less often. Jin Enhua had only seen it once when he was in college.
" Third Uncle, this is my fourth time." Jin Enhua pleaded," Back then, Liu Bei only visited Zhuge Liang three times. You see, I am sincere enough."”
Jin Zeren shook his head like a rattle-drum." No, no, other than this, you can take anything that catches my eye.”
Jin Enhua smiled obsequiously." I said I'm borrowing it, not taking it. I guarantee I'll return it in one piece after I'm done.”
" I know what you're thinking," Jin Zeren said." When you were young, you either gave away the things you took from me or threw them away when you got tired of them. When did you return them?" This is our family's heirloom. We can't show it to others easily. How can we allow you to give it to outsiders?”
Third Uncle was most afraid of his grandfather. Jin Enhua frowned and took out the magical treasure." The old man has agreed. You can ask him if you don't believe me.”
" Hmph, it's all because of your flowery words that made him faint." Jin Zeren shook his head." This iron tree has already been passed down to me. It's mine. The old man won't force me."”
Jin Enhua's face was full of saliva." Third Uncle, that's not right. As the saying goes, it's better to pass it on to the older generation than to the younger generation. My father is no longer around, and I'm the eldest grandson of the Jin family. This pot of iron tree should be passed on to me, so you should return it to me instead of keeping it for yourself.”
Jin Zeren glared at Jin Enhua." Well said. I'm just keeping it for you. Unfortunately, I can't give it to you yet."”
Why? Jin Enhua asked.
" I've long seen that you're not someone who loves treasures." Jin Zeren turned around and left his back to Jin Enhua." I gave it to you, but I was afraid you'd ruin it."”
Jin Enhua stood up abruptly." Alright, Mr. Jin Zeren. I'm talking to you now as the head of the village. I hope you'll correct your attitude and cooperate with the work of the village. Otherwise, please consider the consequences."”
Jin Zeren sneered." Don't use your stupid hat to pressure me. I've seen it many times in the past few years. Didn't you just want to say that you want to stop me from becoming a civilian? I'm not afraid. At most, I'll go home and farm."”
Stubborn. Jin Enhua smiled helplessly. He was just bluffing. If he really wanted Third Uncle to pack up and go home, his grandparents probably wouldn't let him go home.
Fortunately, he had a trump card. As the old saying goes, they know how to steal, but they don't know how to attack. A few days later, Jin Zeren went to the county to take the exam for becoming a private teacher. Jin Enhua coaxed Third Aunt and really fished out the iron tree.
Holding the iron tree, of course, it was to meet Huang Fengtian, the Yellow Flower Immortal.
Jin Enhua had indeed put in some effort beforehand. The election and adjustment of the two levels of the village team was about to begin. The county demanded that it must be completed before the Spring Festival. A large number of elderly village officials had to be replaced. If they did not go through the two Secretary Huang, it would not be smooth. As the saying goes, prepare for a rainy day. It was imperative to "settle" the two Secretary Huang. Although it was slow work, time waited for no one. According to Old Liu, Secretary Huang loved flowers. As long as he knew flowers, he would not be rejected. If you can exchange the "Flower Sutra" with him, you will be treated as a distinguished guest. When Fang Wenzheng first took office, he was also choked to death. Later on, Fang Wenzheng had an idea in a hurry and catered to his interests. He worked with the leaders of the Industrial and Commercial Office to set up a flower trading point on Moon River Street. It could be considered to have something to do with flowers. He even invited Huang Fengtian to personally cut the ribbon. Huang Fengtian called him "Honored Flower" and immediately accepted Fang Wenzheng.
Since he couldn't think of any other way, then he would do the same.
At this moment, he was a little dazzled. This was a world of flowers. In the corridor, in the small courtyard, in the hall, there were blooming flowers everywhere. The fragrance of flowers was enough to make him intoxicated and intoxicated.
Although they had already met once, Huang Fengtian still did not seem to like him. He sat on the armchair without moving and sized up Jin Enhua with his eyes half-closed. However, when he saw the pot of iron tree, his stiff body trembled slightly.
" Secretary Huang, nice to meet you." Jin Enhua composed himself and said respectfully," I've been a little busy these days, so I didn't come to visit you in time. Please forgive me."”
He finally nodded slightly, but there was no joy or sorrow on his slightly aged face.
" I've long heard that Secretary Huang cherishes flowers," Jin Enhua said fawningly." Seeing it is better than hearing it a hundred times. You really live up to your reputation. Secretary Huang, you really deserve the title of Flower Fairy."”
" Hmph," the voice came from his nose." Village Head Jin is busy with work. Why is he still in the mood to come out and flirt?”
Whoa, the old man was asking him why he was here.
Jin Enhua smiled." Secretary Huang, I'm here today for nothing. I'm here to offer you a gift.”
Devout and respectful.
Huang Fengtian slightly widened his eyes and glanced at Jin Enhua." The ancients had a saying of 'walking on horseback and looking at flowers', but you, Village Chief Jin, have a unique and rare style.”
Jin Enhua understood what he meant." Of course, I'm not here to take a look. Secretary Huang, you must be joking. I remember the ancients saying that flowers are more precious when they are seen in the fog.”
Hehe, I came here sincerely to look for flowers and admire the flowers. It's just that looking at flowers in the fog makes me a little uneasy.
Huang Fengtian closed his eyes and seemed to be talking to himself." Unfortunately, he is still a young man.”
" Are you underestimating me?" Jin Enhua was unwilling to be outdone. He pondered for a moment and said," Don't worry about the late blooming of spring. There will always be a time when spring flowers bear fruit in autumn.”Whether the flowers would bear fruit or not, they would have to wait until the autumn harvest season to know.
Well said. So Village Chief Jin was also a person who knew flowers. Huang Fengtian revealed a look of admiration." It's a pity that I, Huang Fengtian, am a flower that will fade in the future. I can only be a fallen flower without a word.”
Secretary Huang was wrong. Jin Enhua smiled." I've seen a dead tree blossom. It's really a hundred flowers blooming. It's different and brilliant.”
Huang Fengtian opened his eyes and finally fixed his gaze on Jin Enhua." I heard that Village Chief Jin is full of words. It's true today.”
" I believe in the consequences. Even the most tender stamen will bloom at some point.”
Huang Fengtian actually sighed." I, Huang Fengtian, was born at the wrong time. I can only be a peach blossom like flowing water.”
Jin Enhua smiled sincerely." Secretary Huang, why don't you sing a song like a flower to add to the icing on the cake?”
Finally, a faint smile appeared on Huang Fengtian's old face." Village Head Jin, you're new to this world. Be careful not to be dazzled.”
" Thank you, Secretary Huang, for your advice." Jin Enhua heaved a sigh of relief." I believe that there will be a time when you will be overjoyed when there is hope.”
" Haha, well said. My Moon River Village finally has a successor." Huang Fengtian laughed out loud, and his gaze became kind and amiable." Xiao Jin, you must have come today to replace a flower with a tree, right?”
Jin Enhua nodded." Secretary Huang, you're right. I heard that only by replacing flowers with trees can flowers bloom on a tree.”
" Xiao Jin, sit, sit down." Huang Fengtian's face was full of flowers." Thank you for coming to see me. I have nothing to say. I only have one thing to say. Although the epiphyllum looks good, it's only for a moment."”
I will remember Secretary Huang's teachings. Jin Enhua sat down on the wooden chair." I believe that there will be a full moon when there are good flowers.”
Huang Fengtian pointed at the pot of Iron Tree on the ground." I've long heard that the Jin family has a pot of 100-year-old Iron Tree. They don't show it to others easily. Now that I've seen it today, my long-cherished wish has been fulfilled. As the saying goes, a gentleman doesn't take away what others love. Bring it back and thank Teacher Jin for me. Tell him that if he thinks highly of an old man like me, I'm willing to be friends with him."”
Jin Enhua did not stand on ceremony. He smiled and said," Thank you, Secretary Huang. I'll definitely pass on your words to my third uncle.”
Xiao Jin and Huang Fengtian smiled and asked," It must have taken a lot of effort to take out this pot of Sago Sago, right?”
" I'm just stealing flowers to offer to Buddha today," Jin Enhua told him truthfully. He chuckled." Stealing flowers isn't considered stealing, is it?"”
Huang Fengtian clapped his hands and laughed." What a great way to steal flowers and offer them to Buddha. Today, I can be considered to have seen the most dazzling flowers in Moon River Village."”
