Xiao Ju finally decided that she had to fit in. Otherwise, when they returned, everyone would be holding a pot of flowers, and she would be empty-handed, which wouldn't look good.
Although spending several hundred yuan on a pot of flowers would make her financially strained for a short period, she could quickly earn it back with a little saving.
At this moment, Xiao Ju had no idea how much immense benefit this decision would bring her.
So much so that when she received the profits, Xiao Ju even treated Su Xiao Tian to a meal to express her gratitude.
After everyone bought their Cymbidium, they returned to the Chuncheng Hotel to pack their things and then went to eat.
They had a train at night, so after dinner, they just needed to grab something to eat to tide them over if they got hungry.
After a hurried dinner, the group headed to the train station.
Since it was a sleeper train, they would be back in Beijing in one night.
A good night's sleep was all it took, no need to waste daytime hours.
That night was very peaceful.
Mainly, Fan Shufang had learned her lesson and refused to let Su Xiao Tian out of her sight.
Who knew what troublesome ideas this girl would come up with? It was better to keep a close eye on her.
The night passed without incident, and by morning, they had arrived in Beijing.
When people saw the group disembarking from the train, each carrying a pot of flowers, many looked on with surprise.
What were these people doing, buying a pot of flowers each?
It had to be said that communication at this time was indeed quite backward.
The flower market in Chuncheng was developing vigorously, but in Beijing, apart from those involved in the industry, not many people knew about it.
This is why many people found such a sight so unusual.
Su Xiao Tian returned home with three pots of flowers, and her brothers were extremely surprised.
Since when did their little sister develop such a hobby?
"Xiao Tian, didn't you go to Chuncheng? Why did you bring back a few pots of flowers?"
"Aren't you tired of carrying them all the way?"
"Does your arm hurt? Seventh Brother will give it a massage for you."
"You should have told me earlier that you were bringing back such heavy pots of flowers, and I would have picked you up!"
Her brothers chattered with concern, and Su Xiao Tian just smiled without saying a word.
After chatting with her brothers for a while, Su Xiao Tian realized that her second brother seemed to be absent.
"Where is Second Brother? Why isn't he home? I brought gifts for all of you." Su Xiao Tian asked.
"Second Brother went to Grandpa Du's house. For the past couple of days, for some reason, he's been visiting Grandpa Du's house very frequently," Su Xiao Ba pouted.
Su Xiao Tian didn't think much of it and simply distributed the gifts she had brought to her brothers.
They were all small trinkets, much like souvenirs in later generations.
But in later generations, with developed logistics, one could receive local specialties even while sitting at home.
This era was different; at home, one rarely saw items with regional characteristics.
Although the gifts were small, the brothers were very happy. What did this represent? It represented that their little sister remembered them.
Su Xiao Tian said, "I'll rest for a bit, and then I'll go to Grandpa Du's house in the afternoon. I also brought gifts for Jian Hong and the others."
"You rest first. I'll go tell them, and maybe they'll come looking for you," Su Xiao Qi said.
"When will Yi Ming Ge open? Didn't Grandpa and Grandma say it would open after the seventh day?"
"It was originally planned to open after the seventh day, but Grandpa said the date wasn't auspicious, so it will open tomorrow for great fortune and prosperity."
In previous years, people were afraid to mention superstition.
But now that the situation had improved, many people dared to speak about such things.
Grandpa Su and Grandma Su were already superstitious, and with Su Xiao Tian attributing their connection to the Dragon King, they believed even more in ghosts and spirits.
Su Xiao Tian nodded, "Then where did Grandpa and Grandma go?"
"They went to talk with Grandpa Tan's side. They said they were going to see those children."
Su Xiao Tian went back to her room to wash up and change. Li Jian Hong and a few others had already arrived.
Seeing the three pots of flowers Su Xiao Tian brought back, they were all curious why she would carry three pots of flowers from so far away.
"Xiao Tian, why did you bring back these three pots of flowers?"
Su Xiao Tian smiled, "This is a specialty of Chuncheng. I bought some more this time and asked someone to send them over from Chuncheng for me later."
"This can't be eaten or drunk, why buy so many?" Li Jian Hong clearly felt it wasn't worth it.
"I plan to build a flower house and cultivate fresh flowers."
This was the reasonable excuse Su Xiao Tian found.
For others, cultivating fresh flowers would definitely be difficult, but for Su Xiao Tian, it was entirely reasonable.
A person who could cultivate grain seeds should have no great difficulty cultivating fresh flowers.
That evening, when Grandpa Su and Grandma Su heard that Su Xiao Tian wanted to build a flower house at home, they found it incomprehensible.
But as the grandparents who doted on their granddaughter the most, building a flower house was nothing, and of course, they supported it.
Su Xiao Tian then put the matter on the agenda.
The flower house Su Xiao Tian planned to build was a glass greenhouse, like those in later generations.
However, the glass in this era seemed to be substandard.
Su Xiao Tian searched for several days and asked many people before finally finding glass that met her standards.
However, this glass was considered a special product, and ordinary people couldn't get it at all.
In this era of transition from a planned economy to a market economy, many scarce materials still operated according to the planned economy.
But who was Su Xiao Tian?
She had extensive connections. Getting some glass was not too difficult, and she managed to obtain it.
When her brothers heard that their little sister wanted to build a glass house, they were extremely shocked.
What was this little girl thinking? Wasn't living in a house with brick walls and tile roofs good enough? Building a glass house was a waste of glass.
But as brothers who unconditionally doted on their sister, they all expressed their support.
Especially Su Xiao Si, who generously gave Su Xiao Tian a construction fund of two thousand yuan.
Since Su Xiao Si had given money, the other brothers naturally couldn't fall behind. Even if they couldn't afford as much as Su Xiao Si, they had to express their intentions.
In any case, when the construction of Su Xiao Tian's glass flower house finally began, not only did she not spend any money herself, but she also earned more than two thousand yuan.
Su Xiao Tian decided not to accept the benefits for nothing.
She would give a pot of Cymbidium back to her brothers and Grandpa Du.
Of course, the Cymbidium she would give back would be ones that had been successfully revived, not half-dead ones.
Building a flower house would definitely require professional help, while Su Xiao Tian herself would take the time to do other things.
She was very busy. She finally had a holiday and had many arrangements. To go to Chuncheng to buy Cymbidium, she had wasted a lot of time.
The remaining time had to be arranged even more tightly!
