www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Flower Feast!

Not wanting to reply to the other party's provocative and teasing words, Pei Yan parked the car on the side of the road and took a look at his circle of friends. Some posted travel photos, some posted photos of beauties, and some showed off new cars, boats, and even new airplanes. When I scrolled up, I saw a photo of a lobster.

Fanhua: The food in this store is delicious. The only drawback is that it is expensive. However, this is not the store’s fault, but the fault of my wallet.

There were too many rich people around him, and suddenly there was such a circle of friends. Pei Yan felt that he seemed to feel the hardship of the poor. What kind of life is it like to have a meal of seafood that hurts your wallet?

He'd better say less about peacocks in the future. It's not easy to be poor. With this in mind, he gave Hua Jin a like.

When she woke up the next morning, the rain had slowed down. Hua Jin rubbed her sore knees, got up to wash and change clothes, and Tan Yuan called.

Tan Yuan: "Huahua, does your knee hurt? Don't come over to guard the store today."

Turn on the speakerphone of the phone, Hua Jin sat in front of the mirror and traced her eyebrows: "It's okay, my legs have gotten better in the past two years. I stay at home alone, so I might as well find something to do in the store."

Tan Yuan on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment: "Huahua, how about we find a reliable old Chinese medicine doctor to help you with your treatment? Otherwise, if this continues, what will you do when you get old?"

"So now we have to work hard to make money. When we are old, we will live in the best nursing home, eat the best food, and hire the best family doctor." Hua Jin said in a cheerful tone, "Work makes me happy, don't stop me. Follow me to the store to make money."

"Then be careful on the road and call me if anything happens." Tan Yuan said in a low voice, "I will come over and check the store with you after lunch."

"Have a rest after lunch. Don't waste your energy by running around. I will call you if anything happens. It rains so many days all year round. How pitiful I would be if you locked me up when it rains. Ah." Hua Jin looked at the time and said, "I'm ready to go out. You have fun today, don't worry about me." After saying that, before Tan Yuan could continue to persuade, she quickly hung up the phone.

After walking out of the crowded subway, Hua Jin opened her umbrella and walked to the sidewalk intersection to wait for the traffic light. The intersection was full of passers-by waiting for the light. Everyone stood very close to each other, but they controlled their eyes and did not let their eyes fall on others, so as not to embarrass each other.

"Hey, have you seen it? A blogger on the Internet said that the kind person who saved someone last month without leaving his name might be a certain little fresh meat, because he was in Sichuan Province in those days and was with a certain person. The female artist has a close relationship and is suspected to be in love."

"No way. If such a thing really happened, the studio would have jumped out to promote it. Why would it be so low-key?"

"Maybe it's because he doesn't want to expose his relationship. Some netizens went to this little fresh meat's Weibo to ask, but he didn't refute."

"Maybe he wants to take advantage of the popularity?"

Overhearing the chat between the two girls behind her, Hua Jin frowned slightly. Are they talking about what happened last time she and Pei Yan met at Jiangjiu Market? But how did this matter become related to the artist?

When the red light turned green, she had no time to think and walked forward along with the flow of people. After walking a few steps, I suddenly heard a girl's exclamation, and a golden dog jumped past her feet and disappeared into the street.

"Mingbao? Mingbao?" The woman wearing a long skirt and wristbands stretched out her arms, her face full of fear and anxiety, "Mingbao, where have you been?"

Hua Jin saw that she was wearing glasses on her face but her hands were scrabbling around. He walked to her and asked softly: "Hello, do you need help?"

"Have you seen my dog?" The girl looked at Hua Jin with wide eyes, her eyes dim. Seeing her eyes clearly, Hua Jin guessed that the girl might have been blind. She supported the frightened girl and looked around, "I'll help you to a place far away from the driveway first."

"My Mingbao is very well-behaved. He must have been frightened just now, so he suddenly ran away." The girl held Hua Jin's arm tightly, "Please help me look for it, there are so many cars outside, what if , just in case..."

Her lips were trembling, not daring to say the most terrible consequences.

"Don't worry yet." Hua Jin patted her back gently, "It'll be okay."

Hua Jin's comfort had no effect. The girl was crying so much that she couldn't control herself. If Hua Jin hadn't supported her, she might not have had the strength to stand.

"What happened?"

Hua Jin looked up and saw two uniformed traffic policemen. She quickly told what happened.

"Mingbao is my guide dog. I have had it for three years. It has never done anything like leaving me in the middle of the road. I am worried that something is wrong with it. Please help me find it. Please Please." The girl grasped Hua Jin's hand helplessly, "It is my family, I can't live without it." She tightened the empty traction rope in her hand, as if as long as she grasped the rope tightly, her Your dog will come back.

Seeing the blind girl crying sadly, the two traffic policemen gave some gentle words of comfort, leaving one to accompany the girl, while the other rode a bicycle and chased after the guide dog in the direction where it was lost.

The remaining traffic policeman looked to be in his twenties or thirties. After using his walkie-talkie to alert other colleagues to the missing golden retriever, he borrowed a stool from a nearby store and asked the blind woman to sit in the corner and wait.

"Are you her friend?" the traffic policeman asked casually when he saw Hua Jin taking out a tissue from his bag and handing it to the blind girl.

"I was just passing by," Hua Jin shook his head, "I just happened to encounter this incident."

Hearing this, the traffic policeman couldn't help but look at Hua Jin twice. He looked at the time and saw that it was already getting late. This girl should be rushing to work. Will she be late if she has been delayed here for so long? But this blind commoner is a woman, and it is not appropriate for him to be alone with her.

After thinking about it, he used the walkie-talkie to contact a nearby female colleague, then smiled apologetically at Hua Jin and said, "Sorry, I have to delay you for a while. One of my female colleagues will be here soon."

"It's okay." Hua Jin saw that the blind girl's mood had calmed down a lot, and couldn't help but smile, "It seems that the policeman is the one who makes everyone feel safe."

The young traffic policeman was so ridiculed by Hua Jin's words that he blushed. He pulled up his police cap: "Serving the people, you should, you should."

After a while, the traffic police received a call from a colleague. The guide dog was found. There were wounds on his body, but there was no danger of illness. Hua Jin saw the blind girl crying and laughing after hearing that the dog was found, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and hurried to the store.

"Wait a minute, are you..." The traffic policeman saw Hua Jin sneak away and the blind girl couldn't see, so he had to help and asked.

"Please call me Red Scarf." Hua Jin turned around and waved. Without waiting for the blind girl to stand up and thank her, she quickly crossed the sidewalk while the red light turned green. If you open the store a little later, you may lose money. As a human being, you can't live with money.

Red scarf?

The serious expression on the traffic policeman's face was almost unbearable, and he coughed twice.

"Is she gone?" The blind girl was a little disappointed, "I haven't thanked her yet." Her world was originally dark, and Mingbao was her eyes. The moment Mingbao ran away, her entire sense of security in the world disappeared. It wasn't until someone held her arm that she came out of the endless fear.

But she didn’t know where she lived or what her name was, and she let her go without even saying thank you.

Opening the shop door and lighting incense, Hua Jin saw that there were no customers, so he sat next to the embroidery stand and embroidered koi paintings. Among the finished products, koi embroidery is one of the best-selling embroidery products, so when she is not busy, she makes some koi-related objects for sale in the store.

The rain outside became heavier again, Hua Jin put down the needle and turned on the stereo in the store. In order to make customers feel that their store is low-key, luxurious and meaningful, the store bought a lot of light music CDs.

On a rainy day like this, there wouldn’t be many customers to see the embroidery. Hua Jin made herself a cup of tea and stared at the rain outside the window in a daze.

"Hello." A well-dressed woman wearing sunglasses walked into the store, pointed at the cheongsam on the wall and said, "Can this kind of cheongsam be customized?"

"Okay." Hua Jin glanced at the woman's figure, and the woman twisted her face uncomfortably under Hua Jin's gaze.

"You are very slim, you can try the effect of this cheongsam on your upper body." Hua Jin said, preparing to pick up the cheongsam.

"No need." The woman in sunglasses handed Hua Jin a note with the size she needed written on it, "I'll pick it up in three weeks."

Seeing the woman wearing sunglasses turn around and prepare to leave, Hua Jin quickly stopped her: "Madam, please wait."

"Anything else?"

Although the other party was wearing huge sunglasses, Hua Jin still felt an "impatient" emotion from her. She smiled and tapped the table with her index finger, "Sorry, as long as it is custom-made embroidery , our store charges a 30% booking fee."

"Am I still unable to pay such a small amount of money?" The woman in sunglasses sounded even worse.

Hearing that the other party’s tone became worse, the expression on Hua Jin’s face instantly became helpless and helpless: “Madam, looking at your temperament and dress, I know that you are not such a person. But I work for others, so I really can’t I dare to make my own decisions. If my boss knows that I took the reservation but did not receive the deposit, he will fire me."

The non-existent boss will always take the blame when necessary.

The woman in sunglasses suddenly softened her tone: "Forget it, it's not easy for you. I'll pay you how much."

"Thank you, you are so kind." Hua Jin handed the payment QR code to the other party without forgetting to give the other party a look of gratitude and joy.

The woman who felt that she had helped the little employee a lot, looked at Hua Jin's grateful eyes and left happily.

Hua Jin felt equally happy after receiving a large deposit.

Pei Yan, standing outside the store, looked at this scene and suddenly felt that a peacock could not describe the characteristics of this woman.

She is not a peacock, she is clearly a chameleon.
