Sure enough, after the news from Shin Myung Province was broadcasted, the whole country of Siam was in an uproar, and the tension increased. It was as if the army from Shin Myung Province would appear in Siam before dawn tomorrow. The King of Siam once again gave a speech at the last minute. In his speech, the white-faced man in his fifties sincerely told the people of the country to hold on to their weapons tightly, to defend against any attacks, and to live or die with the country. They should not be intimidated by the advanced weapons of the enemy, because the real deciding factor of victory was not the weapons, but the people, and the millions of people who loved the country and swore to live or die with the country.
After watching the speech of the King of Siam, Chen Weizheng felt that this old man was really good at fanning the flames. His speech made the people below scream, and they even consciously organized a few demonstrations. According to the analysis of the intelligence sent back from the front, the people of Siam were still there, and the rubber band had not been broken yet. Chen Weizheng felt that Wu's repeated provocation theory would be effective.
In any case, in the short term, it was not suitable to fight with Siam. He had to be fully prepared first. During this time, he had to constantly provoke the other side and not give them any time to breathe. Didn't the King of Siam like to give speeches? Then let him show up every day!
After confirming the work plan, Chen Weizheng left and went back to celebrate the New Year.
Seeing Chen Weizheng leave so easily, the people of Shin Myung Province seemed to understand that Chen Weizheng was more willing to live a leisurely life like this.
After taking a special flight from Longshan to Baoshan, and then changing to a flight from Baoshan to Chuncheng, Chen Weizheng had become a very ordinary young man after landing in Chuncheng. He wanted to walk around the dried flower market and bring back some dried flowers for Liu Yi.
Dried flowers were the messengers of nature and fragrance. They were made from fresh plant materials that were dehydrated and dried. They were more durable than fresh flowers, and more realistic and natural than artificial flowers. The biggest advantage of dried flowers was that after being made, their color and fragrance could be preserved for a long time. They were not limited by seasons and occasions, and existed in every corner of life. They were known as "the rose that never withered". Dried flowers were different from flowers that withered after blooming. They were made by removing water at a certain stage of their growth. After losing water, their growth would slow down, but they would still grow until the end of their life. Dried flowers that were decorated could be stored for more than ten years.
Chen Weizheng packed up the dried flowers he had bought and put them into the Moving Finger. On the way, he also bought a lot of highland mushrooms. The seller vacuum packed them on the spot, saying that the wild mushrooms packed in this way could let customers eat vacuum fresh mushrooms that were almost the same as fresh mushrooms during the New Year. Chen Weizheng didn't blindly believe it. He bought a lot of mushrooms, packed a few big boxes, and found a chance to throw them in a bag. There were many people, so he had to prepare a lot of things.
Chen Weizheng looked at a shop that claimed to sell authentic fresh ham. It looked like the real deal. The legs were shaped like a pipa, and the man was wearing a green robe. Unfortunately, the meat was too thin, and the fragrance was not enough. There were not many products in the shop. Chen Weizheng thought about it and dismissed the idea of buying. He walked out of the shop and looked back. He wanted to go in again. While he was hesitating, he heard someone say, "This shop is full of fakes. If you want to buy ham, you should go directly to the place where it was produced." Chen Weizheng was stunned. What he said was right. He should go directly to Xuanwei and buy 20 hams. Then he could go back and buy one for each family. It was considered polite.
It was better to take action. He went directly to Longchang Town. This was the place where the fresh ham was produced. When he walked into the farmers' houses, he saw homemade ham hanging on the wall. He casually asked a few people. Someone told a family that specialized in making ham. He walked into the house and told the owner that he wanted 20 hams. The owner was shocked. After negotiating the price, he prepared the goods and let Chen Weizheng check them one by one. This was the real fresh ham. Compared to the one in the Spring City market, this one was also shaped like a pipa. It was wearing a green robe, but compared to that one, this one was much fatter. The skin was thin and the meat was thick. The fat was just right. When cut open, the fragrance was rich, and the color was bright. The lean meat was bright red or rosy, the fat was milky white, and the bones were slightly pink.
When he returned home, he was just in time for dinner. Grandma was making the last dish of soup. Liu Yi was setting the table. Liu Yu was tidying up the textbooks. Hua Zheng was already sitting obediently at the table. He supported his chin with both hands and looked at his mother. He seemed to be thinking about something.
When the door key rang, the first one to react was Hua Zheng. "It's Dad!" He bounced off the chair like a rubber band and ran to the door.
Liu Yi also straightened her back and looked at the door. She knew that her son usually didn't make wrong judgments. Sure enough, the door opened. Chen Weizheng walked in from outside. Hua Zheng jumped up and hung around Chen Weizheng's neck. Chen Weizheng supported his son's little butt and walked towards Liu Yi.
"Why did you suddenly come back?" Liu Yi asked. The corners of her eyes were full of smiles and love.
"Things over there have come to an end. As soon as I relaxed, my first thought was to go home for the New Year. So I rushed back!" Chen Weizheng said. He walked towards Liu Yi and gently kissed Liu Yi's face. Hua Zheng hugged Chen Weizheng with one hand and Liu Yi with the other and giggled.
"You came back alone? Where's Li Hui and the others? "Liu Yi asked.
"Li Hui and Tang Wei drove back. She didn't dare to take the plane. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to take it." Chen Weizheng said: "I'm really looking forward to opening up the Indochina Peninsula. If the Indochina Peninsula is ours, we can build a high grade road from Longshan to there. We can drive there in a day. We don't have to take a big detour in Nanliu."
"Hehe, if it's just for a high grade road, you can discuss it with those small countries right now. They will definitely agree to let you pass through." Liu Yi said: "The problem is that a single road can't meet your requirements."
"That's right. I'm interested in the land on both sides of the road. I also want the forests on the land and the minerals under the land. I just don't want the people on the land." Chen Weizheng said.
"I know, I know. Everyone on Earth knows your thoughts." Liu Yi said.
When Grandma saw that Chen Weizheng had returned, she added another dish at the last minute. It was a cold dish, century egg, tofu, and coriander. She also brought up the half bottle of Maotai that was left from last time.
She put Hua Zheng on the seat beside her and asked Liu Yu what plans he had for the winter break. Liu Yu told Chen Weizheng that there would be make-up classes during the winter break. The school's high school entrance exam was quite stressful, and so was the pressure on the students. Junior high was at Bayi High School. If they couldn't get into Bayi High School, it would be a very embarrassing thing. Chen Weizheng thought that Liu Yu's studies shouldn't be a big problem. He didn't know how Wang Ning's grades were, but Liu Yu told him that Wang Ning was second in the entire grade and first in their class. It wasn't bad. As long as there were no accidents during the high school entrance exam, it was certain that he would continue to stay in Bayi High School for three more years.
Chen Weizheng said that this year was the New Year. Before the New Year, Zheng Jianyi would bring Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu back and send them to Xiao Song's house for the New Year. After the New Year, from the first to the third, they would walk around casually. On the fourth, they would go to Longshan together. On the sixth, they would start the New Year. On the seventh, everyone would come back to work.
After dinner, they went downstairs. There were a lot of things piled up downstairs. Grandma Wang Ning and Grandma Ruan Cheng were talking about a lot of cardboard boxes. Chen Weizheng came down and greeted the two old ladies. He told them that these were New Year's goods he brought back from Spring City. There were ten cardboard boxes, one for each family. The cardboard box contained vacuum wild mushrooms and a big ham. Seeing the big ham that weighed more than 20 kilograms, the two old ladies stared blankly. How long would they have to eat this? Fortunately, Grandma Wang Ning knew that this was good stuff and asked each family to come down and carry their own share. Ruan Cheng and Zheng Tien-tien were half-grown boys. They carried the cardboard boxes and ran upstairs. Their mothers couldn't catch up with them empty-handed. Professor Tang Jingtian now understood that there was no need to be polite. Everyone could just take whatever they wanted. Now, after work, he was also the gardener of this courtyard. His skills in gardening were very high, and his artistic skills were also quite high. The courtyard was like a small garden for him. The few children helped him when they had nothing to do, listening to him talk about the so-called aesthetics and structural logic.
The four sets on the fifth and sixth floors were in Liu Yi's house.
After distributing the wild mushrooms and the big ham, there were still seven or eight large cardboard boxes left. Everyone opened them and saw that they were dried flowers. Chen Weizheng said that there was no fixed quota for these things. Everyone could take them back and decorate them. It was a festive New Year. As soon as everyone saw these dried flowers, their color was natural and their fragrance was strong. They immediately fell in love with them. Chen Liping was more knowledgeable about dried flowers. She said, "This thing is very particular. We don't know how to play with it. It's like weeds if we play with it. If we know how to play with it, it's art." Tang Jingtian said that this thing was purely a plastic art. He couldn't play with it. However, he made a suggestion. After dinner, the women could go shopping and find a dried flower shop to see how other people did it. When they came back, they could imitate them.
Everyone agreed with Professor Tang's suggestion and went to the dried flower shop to find the feeling.
Before the New Year, it was still very warm. The streets were bustling with people. Everyone was enjoying the cool night. The bright street lights, useless neon lights, and messy shop signs made a pile of trash. It was dazzling and irritating to the eyes.
At the intersection of Donghui Road, there was a well-decorated flower shop. Everyone stopped in front of the large glass window of the flower shop. They all looked at the dried flowers. Speaking of dried flowers, it was really a very small thing. The small accessories, small bottles, and small jars needed to have a unique taste and feeling. The women were fascinated.
After a while, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl walked over. She was holding a three or four-year-old girl's hand. The little girl was carrying a small school bag. She had big eyes and slightly curly bangs. A red headband pulled her black hair to the back of her head. She had a pale face and two dimples when she smiled. She was wearing a small cotton-padded jacket and a short skirt. Inside the short skirt were thick velvet socks. Below the socks were a pair of red leather shoes. The big girl must have just been picked up from kindergarten. She opened the glass door and let everyone in to look around. After entering, everyone realized that other than the dried flowers, there weren't many fresh flowers that were popular in the city. Taking a closer look, it was really a bit bleak.
Seeing that there were so many people in the shop, the little girl suddenly blinked her big eyes and said obediently, "Welcome to our shop. We will definitely work hard to satisfy everyone. What do you need?"
