Chapter 1468

After a year of development, the speed of the township Fengfeng Express has become even better.

At the very least, by the next morning, Xiao Yun had received the lemon flowers she had snatched.

Oh my! Having bought them for a long time, she had learned to self-rationalize. Looking at the tightly packed delivery from Fengfeng Express, she silently muttered about the cost of her own daily shipping, and by rough calculation, Qiaoqiao not only didn't make money but actually lost some!

It was quite embarrassing!

It was also like she had picked up a huge bargain.

In short, others didn't have it, but she did, and she was super happy!

As the only lucky person in the company, whenever there was a Fengfeng Express delivery, she would be watched by everyone: "You snatched it again?"

That's right, everyone in the company would slack off to snatch goods during Qiaoqiao's livestream. The time before last, because the selling was too slow, two people squatted in the bathroom until their legs went numb, and in the end, they still didn't snatch any... Oh my!

Xiao Yun nodded reservedly, drawing a wave of jealousy from the office: "Oh, it's a good thing I didn't snatch any, otherwise I wouldn't be able to save any money."

"Exactly. But they haven't sold anything good lately, right? Was it those lemon flowers last time?"

"Yeah, are you young girls the only ones who love to join in the fun, not interested in these flowers and plants?"

Xiao Yun "ripped" open the tape and said concisely: "Oh."

Everyone stared unblinkingly at the box by her hand, their hearts filled with sourness and stuffiness.

The small rectangular box was tightly fitted with air column bags. When she carefully took it out and gently sliced open the plastic, in an instant, an exceptionally fresh fragrance permeated the office.

The fragrance of lemon flowers is really hard to describe in words.

The cold fragrance of wintersweet, the richness of magnolia... these adjectives are hard to apply to it, but it is fragrant! It's as lively as gardenias and as sweet as osmanthus, making it impossible to refuse.

Yet, there was a two-part freshness in the fragrance. Even in the small and cluttered office, as Xiao Yun held it in her heart, she felt as if a world had been opened up around her.

After she removed the rubber band from the small flower branch and took off the still-damp sponge, she carefully pruned it and inserted it into a vase. Then, she placed it on her small workstation.

The others in the office carefully sniffed the faint, light fragrance. Even though it was something that couldn't be eaten or drunk and was a waste of money, at this moment, they couldn't help but feel a sense of envy.

These flowers, how good they smell!

Xiao Yun was also feeling great: "I feel like the 'work smell' has faded."

Suddenly, she felt so lucky that she bought a car this year; bringing the flowers home after work and bringing them back to work, how happy!

On the short 20cm flower branch, many small purple flower buds were densely sprouting. As the days passed, these buds bloomed one after another. Although the scene of them blooming couldn't be called spectacular or neat, this faint fragrance lasted for more than 20 days.

They didn't have any unique effects; they couldn't help with sleep or dispel anxiety. But for Xiao Yun and the people in the office, smelling this sweet floral fragrance itself made people feel exceptionally happy.

Whether it was the irritability of squeezing onto the subway or the frustration brought by children and family, as long as they walked into the office and the faint fragrance lingered in their hearts, their tense heartstrings would relax.

It's really good.

Everyone looked enviously and jealously at that branch of quietly blooming lemon flowers again. At a price of 19.9, why didn't they snatch any?

It's just different from the potted lemons sold on the market!

And in Yunqiao Village, Song Tan hadn't yet seen the various positive reviews of the lemon flowers on the link when the May Day holiday officially began.

The videos and promotions that were popular on Chanyin and Little Green Book before might not be worth mentioning in big data. But for the locals — it only takes an hour from the city to the countryside, and there's no admission fee, so just go and see the flowers!

Secretary Xiao Zhu organized everyone to prepare intensively. The mountain staff hadn't been fully recruited yet, so Song Tan had to add more bonuses to have Master Jiang arrange for his apprentices to be on standby.

And on this side, the group of cadres in the village who had quite a bit of prestige in the local township also held several meetings with 0% Mandarin content, striving not to let their village's reputation be ruined on the internet!

Oh my! It's good to be able to get rich as Secretary Xiao Zhu said; they were all people born and raised in the village.

The brigade leaders walked around the village with their hands behind their backs, unable to help but stare at the woodpiles stacked at several doorways, regretting: If I had known, I would have let them tidy them up during the slack season in early spring!

The only small shop in the village was also struggling and hesitating: Secretary Xiao Zhu said that the people coming would all be buying vegetables and local specialties, but what he could mainly sell in his shop might still be cigarettes, children's toys, and some camping supplies...

The proprietress stared at the few toys and camping supplies in the cabinet, and only after checking online did she suddenly realize: "Oh my! Isn't this that stool and table stuff for fishing?"

The only pity was that in order not to affect the filming of the crew, the mountain road leading to the pasture was blocked off. Otherwise, taking this opportunity to make a name for fishing at the river beach, the fishing army alone would be enough to support their entire village.

The village became unprecedentedly active, even more inspiring than when Old Zhao came to collect vegetables at the end of last year. Song Tan and Lu Chuan walked around the village twice, unable to help but be a bit surprised:

"I always thought that for them, making money was the most important thing."

Planting crops well with the seedlings from their home, Old Zhao and the others would buy them in one go during the harvest season, which was worry-free and didn't delay farming — but although everyone was inspired, happy, and chatting enthusiastically, how should one describe it?

This mental outlook was completely different from now.

Nowadays, even Wu Lan was keen on going out every day, chatting with everyone about how to set up a stall to sell vegetables, and how to pay attention to reminding others if someone was short-changing...

Even though the May Day holiday was just about to begin.

The online buzz was just loud, and it didn't necessarily mean people would come.

But each of them was full of energy, going to the fields to tidy up the vegetables twice a day, and even thoughtfully preserving the wild vegetables and weeds on the field ridges.

How wonderful!

It was as if the entire piece of land had come alive.

She had thought that during the busy farming season last year, when she called the whole village to come and help, everyone was full of energy, leaving early and returning late, and the village had already come alive then.

Lu Chuan thought for a moment: "I thought so too. But... I don't know, it's hard to summarize. Maybe even if they complain about the countryside being remote and having no one, and that children should be actively sent away... essentially, they are still authentic farmers."

Precisely because they have been rooted in the land all their lives, the changes brought by their hometown land and the opportunity to have the advantages of their hometown noticed by others are what make them ignite their passion and joy involuntarily.

How rare this is!

Poverty alleviation cannot alleviate the human heart, and rural construction cannot build away bad habits. Only by truly loving one's hometown can one passionately seize the opportunity when it is perceived.

And how lucky!

Their village has such unique water and soil, and it hasn't been treated coldly by the market yet.

After Lu Chuan finished speaking, he couldn't help but hold Song Tan's hand: "Tan Tan, your hometown is really good."

The hearts of everyone striving have never died out.
