Rebirth begins with marrying an educated youth

After returning home that day, Ji Yuanhai saw Xiao Hongyi's motorcycle at the door of his house. When he entered the house, he saw that Xiao Hongyi and Huo Lianshi were guests at home.

Lu Heling was talking to them, while Ji Rukun was playing in front of Xiao Hongyi.

Xiao Hongyi held a small toy in her hand and used the little tricks she knew to coax Ji Rukun: "Look, look, swish, it disappeared - hey, it's here again!"

Ji Rukun stared at it intently with his eyes wide open, obviously completely attracted.

"How did you do that? That's amazing, Auntie, you're amazing!"

Xiao Hongyi laughed and shook her head proudly: "Isn't that amazing? The reason I was able to get out and make a living was because no one could imagine that I could do something else."

When he looked up, he saw Ji Yuanhai coming back. Xiao Hongyi smiled and said, "Yuanhai is back!"

"Dad, Auntie is so amazing, even more amazing than you! You definitely can't tell!" Ji Rukun said.

"Really?" Ji Yuanhai smiled, "That's amazing."

Xiao Hongyi smiled and picked up the thing in her hand and performed it again in front of Ji Rukun. Ji Yuanhai's eyes immediately saw the secret and fell on the back of her other hand.

Xiao Hongyi noticed Ji Yuanhai's gaze and couldn't help feeling a little surprised - Yuanhai reacted so quickly, could he have guessed this, or did he see it directly?

“Okay, Hongyi, stop showing off like a child.” Huo Lianshi reminded with a smile, “Come over and chat.”

"Have you eaten?" Ji Yuanhai asked. When he found out that both of them hadn't eaten yet, he invited them to eat together. They could chat while eating if they had anything to talk about.

After all, they are not outsiders.

Sitting together and eating, Xiao Hongyi started by talking about something.

"Qiwuxuan has always been taken care of by two children from orphanages that I arranged. They are not young anymore, they are already 21 or 22 years old this year, and they are about to get married."

"I was told something these two days. It was said that Shan Xing, who used to do business on Flower and Bird Street, asked if the Cantonese-speaking bird we adopted was still alive."

"The young businessman didn't care and took out the bird he had been raising for Shanxing to look at. Shanxing was very surprised when he saw it and said he would buy it for three thousand yuan. The young man didn't agree on the spot and asked me what my plan was."

"I thought about it and decided that we don't need the three thousand dollars, so I didn't agree. The starling has a very clever beak. It can speak Cantonese, Mandarin, and a few words of Beijing dialect. Besides, we've kept it for so long, so it's about time we give it a peaceful old age."

Ji Yuanhai was listening with a smile at first, but when he heard the mynah bird speaking Cantonese and Beijing dialect, he couldn't help but think of the first batch of funds he had when he came to the provincial capital. The Cantonese-speaking mynah bird was there at the time; and the two words of Beijing dialect were taught to him by the arrogant little girl Feng Xue, and they also witnessed the progress of the relationship between Ji Yuanhai and Feng Xue.

For a moment, I recalled the past.

However, Ji Yuanhai soon realized one thing. This starling has a very long life. It has lived for more than ten years now, right?

If he continued to live like this, it would be a bit abnormal.

Could it have something to do with our previous contact?

The main reason is that this starling bird used to be very close to Ji Yuanhai. It would rather land on Ji Yuanhai than fly to a tree or fly away.

If you think in this way... this starling is really not suitable to stay in Flower and Bird Street.

Moreover, Feng Xue should also be willing to keep this starling.

Ji Yuanhai smiled and said, "Sister Hongyi, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about it. This mynah bird is not mine. It was raised by my friend at Qiwuxuan."

"My friend is also in the provincial capital recently, so I have to return it to her."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongyi said frankly, "Since it belongs to someone else, it should be returned to the original owner. But to be honest, after raising it in Qiwuxuan for so many years, I have feelings for every plant and tree, let alone a living thing like this? At first glance, I am a little reluctant to let it go."

Ji Yuanhai said: "Let me ask first. If she doesn't want to raise it, I won't give it back to her in the future."

Xiao Hongyi smiled and said, "It's not that important, but I feel uncomfortable when I say this. Yuan Hai, you can arrange it however is convenient for you. It's just a bird, and the thing that Flower and Bird Street lacks the most is birds."

"There are a lot of birds raised in Xiaoguan."

Ji Yuanhai also nodded: "Xiao Guan is a good man. He was the one who helped enthusiastically in the beginning. How is his business now? Do you need our help to take care of it?"

"That's really not necessary." Xiao Hongyi said, "There are more and more rich people, and more and more people are raising flowers and birds. Xiaoguan can easily make tens of thousands of yuan a year. His life is so good that he has gained a lot of weight now."

"That's good." Ji Yuanhai said a few words with a smile, and then talked about some things in Flower and Bird Street.

Yuan Zhonghua, who is an important person in charge of Holiland, has now made a lot of money. He sold the agency store to someone else, and his family moved to a better place to live. I heard that he also bought a second house for his children.

Although we have been in contact occasionally in the past year, we are both very busy and have our own things to do, so there is not much communication between Ji Yuanhai and me.

Of course, Ji Yuanhai still believes in his character. If there is any shortage of manpower in the future, Yuan Zhonghua will still be a reliable candidate.

Speaking of the restaurant owner with a terrible memory at the corner of Huaniao Street, not to mention Huo Lianshi and Xiao Hongyi, even Lu Heling laughed. When eating there, there were many jokes about the wrong dishes being served.

However, his skills are still very good, and he is said to be still doing business. Last year, he even had a fight with a customer due to his bad memory.

After chatting for a while, Xiao Hongyi put down her chopsticks and patted her head: "By the way, the main reason I came here this time is to find a job for you, Yuan Hai. It's meaningless to stay at home all the time, even if I go to the provincial capital to check out the business of Fangcaoxuan and Qiwuxuan."

“Is there any work like going to Bauhinia or going to Jixiang Province to help Bai Yanan? That would be more interesting.”

Ji Yuanhai was slightly surprised: "Sister Hongyi, are you ready to work? Have you discussed it with Brother Huo?"

Huo Lianshi's eyes were sunken. After hearing this, she couldn't wait to say, "We've discussed it! I fully support this!"

When Ji Yuanhai heard him say this, he suddenly thought of Xiao Hongyi's wild fighting power that made Huo Lianshi unstable, and he suddenly realized that Brother Huo might not be able to hold on any longer.

Xiao Hongyi used to be a little hesitant and tried to develop into a normal daughter-in-law. This was true before she went to Bauhinia. After she went to Bauhinia, she realized the extent of her freedom. Also, because she and Huo Lianshi did not have children, her wildness became stronger and stronger, and she became more and more casual and free.

Huo Lianshi's inability to hold on was only one aspect. On the other hand, Xiao Hongyi also couldn't stay still and wanted to go out and explore the world.

Ji Yuanhai and his wife had the same idea, so they thought of a job, which was the inspection work in the provincial capital, Bauhinia and other places.

For many people, working in such a busy and busy manner would be unbearable, but for Xiao Hongyi, it is probably "just right".

After Ji Yuanhai made the introduction, Xiao Hongyi was, as expected, very interested.

Especially when she thought that someone might be deceiving their superiors and trying to hide something, Xiao Hongyi became even more motivated.

"Cat and mouse... this is my favorite thing to do!"

After dinner and some chatting, Huo Lianshi and Xiao Hongyi left.

Lu Heling said puzzledly: "Sister Hongyi is used to adventuring, I can understand that, but why is Brother Huo so generous and still supports her?"

"If you don't support me anymore, Brother Huo's life will be in danger." Ji Yuanhai said with a smile, "Didn't you notice that Sister Hongyi squeezed him a little too hard?"

Lu Heling was surprised, but couldn't help laughing: "So that's what's going on. Is it the opposite of our family's situation? It's not the other way around, Yuan Hai, you still love me very much. I've never hurt myself like this."

Ji Yuanhai smiled slightly and thought to himself that in fact there was.

At that time, Lu Heling could not bear the long battle and slept all day because of exhaustion. Wang Zhuyun also had this experience. Even Liu Xianglan, who had the most endurance, could not escape it.

It's not about caring or not, it's just that no one can be completely rational and restrained in this kind of thing. It is a kind of behavior mixed with impulse. Once it breaks out, it is inevitable. If you are not careful, it will cause a mess.

He picked up the phone and dialed Feng Xue's number in the provincial capital.

"Hello? Xue'er."

"Yuan Hai, why did you call me today?" Feng Xue asked with a smile.

"Ever since you got a phone call from the provincial capital, you've been calling every day. What makes you say that?" Ji Yuanhai asked.

Feng Xue smiled and said, "Of course I'm telling you this."

Ji Yuanhai knew that she was always like this, so he listened to her acting coquettishly first, and then asked her about her life and work. Gong Lin also said a few words.

Then Ji Yuanhai mentioned the matter of the starling to Feng Xue.

Feng Xue immediately burst out laughing: "You are from another place, you didn't go to the capital, did you? You even brought me here!"

The words she taught myna to say were "People from other places have come to Beijing", and this was also the first time she and Ji Yuanhai met. Ji Yuanhai joked with her, "People in Beijing think everyone is from other places"... This was a joke that lasted from the first meeting to the beginning of their relationship. When they mentioned it now, they both felt a little tender and missed each other.

Hearing that the starling was still alive and still at Qiwuxuan, Feng Xue suddenly became excited: "I will go and get this bird back tomorrow. I have to teach it to speak new words!"

“Even if I teach you now, you probably won’t be able to learn it.” Ji Yuanhai said with a smile.

"Even if you can't learn it, I will teach you. If it really doesn't work, I will teach Sister Linlin and let Sister Linlin tell you..." There was a sudden commotion on the other end of the phone. Gong Lin was obviously not happy with Feng Xue treating her as a parrot, and the two of them were laughing and playing non-stop.

"Alright, alright, if this mynah bird can't learn it, I'll tell you in person - Sister Linlin, am I going to be angry? Am I really going to be angry?"

Amidst the laughter, Feng Xue hung up the phone.

The next night, Feng Xue called on her own initiative, and the voice on the other end of the line was that of Mynah Bird, with a slightly strange tone.

"People from other places are coming to the capital..."

Then there is another Cantonese phrase "福星高照"...

Feng Xue kept laughing on the other end of the phone, and Ji Yuanhai couldn't help but laugh too.
