Chapter 26: 26. Fragrant Orchid (Seeking collections, seeking recommendation votes!)

Zhang Ran unknowingly arrived at a flower and bird market. Looking at the flowers and plants inside, he thought of the situation at Zhang Sicheng's home. After a moment of thought, he began to stroll around inside.

Zhang Ran could be considered very familiar with these flowers and plants; because of the game, he had a natural interest in these things.

However, Zhang Ran did not take a fancy to any of the flowers and plants here. He was not mainly here to buy flowers, but to buy pots and for cover.

After walking a circle, Zhang Ran finally bought three pots of orchids, which cost him nearly two thousand yuan.

The quality of these three pots of orchids was considered quite good, but the most important thing was that their pots were good.

Next, Zhang Ran had nothing else to do, so he carried the three pots of orchids and went back.

After he arrived home, he threw the original orchids directly into the sewer, and even almost clogged the sewer.

Afterwards, he looked at the simple system interface in his mind, as well as the full energy bar. After thinking for a while, he bought three stalks of Fragrant Orchid.

Fragrant Orchid: Lv2, growth period 5 days, emits a delicate fragrance, refreshes the mind, (can be accelerated.)

Subsequently, Zhang Ran planted the seedlings of the Fragrant Orchid in the pots and bought a few bags of Accelerated Growth Fertilizer. In just a short moment, these three stalks of Fragrant Orchid seemed to have been accelerated countless times, growing and blooming rapidly. At the same time, a delicate fragrance began to permeate, causing the originally somewhat restless hearts of people to instantly quiet down.

Zhang Ran had long been accustomed to such a situation. Although there was little energy before, Zhang Ran had also bought many things and had seen such scenes many times.

As for the Accelerated Growth Fertilizer, Zhang Ran was not too excited, because this thing only worked on items in the game and had no effect at all on other plants, just like ordinary fertilizer.

For this reason, when Zhang Ran went to the United States, he even specifically used the cutting-edge technology at the time to check it, but it didn't detect the slightest abnormality at all; it was just ordinary fertilizer.

When the Fragrant Orchid bloomed, the faint damp and moldy smell originally in the room instantly dissipated, leaving only a fragrance that made one feel pleasant.

This fragrance was very faint, but breathing it into the lungs gave a cool feeling, as if it were washing away the impurities inside.

Staying in the room to play on his phone for a while and checking some situations, when the time was about right, Zhang Ran prepared to go pick up his granddaughter and grandson from school.

The first to be picked up was naturally the little one, Susu. When Zhang Ran arrived, it was already crowded with people. A large group of parents were gathered together, some chatting and some looking inside.

Soon it was time for the kindergarten to let out, and groups of little kids were led out by the teacher.

Zhang Ran saw his granddaughter at a glance. At this time, Susu was also looking around for something, her big eyes filled with some anxiety and nervousness.

When she saw Zhang Ran, Susu subconsciously took two steps with her short legs, but then she thought of something and immediately acted as if nothing had happened, starting to walk over slowly.

Zhang Ran couldn't help but be amused as he watched the little one's proud little appearance. He then walked over quickly, picked her up, and after saying a word to Teacher Mu, he left.

Mu Xi watched Zhang Ran's back, full of envy. In the morning, she had already spoken to Zhang Siyan on the phone and confirmed Zhang Ran's identity and age.

"You say, you're a grown man, why do you have to keep yourself so young?" Mu Xi muttered.

Zhang Ran didn't care about Teacher Mu's complaints. After picking up Susu, he arrived at the elementary school gate and saw Taotao waiting anxiously.

"Grandpa, Grandpa." Seeing his grandfather arrive, Zhang Xiaotao excitedly shouted while running over.

Zhang Ran suddenly had a sense of déjà vu of the Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather.

"Grandpa, I missed you." Zhang Xiaotao's little mouth was as sweet as if it had been smeared with honey.

"Grandpa missed you too. How was school today? Were you naughty?" Zhang Ran said, stroking Taotao's head.

"No, I am a good student," Zhang Xiaotao said very proudly.

Just as Zhang Ran had taken the two little ones not far away, he couldn't move his feet anymore.

"Grandpa, I want to eat a grilled sausage." Zhang Xiaotao began to act spoiled.

Susu also stopped her steps. Although she didn't speak, the meaning was also very obvious.

What could Zhang Ran do? He could only agree.

After buying two grilled sausages, something that surprised Zhang Ran very much happened. He saw Susu hesitate for a moment, then hand the grilled sausage to Zhang Ran.

This instantly touched the softness deep in Zhang Ran's heart. His face instantly blossomed with a smile. He gently took a bite of the grilled sausage and then said, "Susu is so well-behaved."

"Grandpa, there's me too, I'll give you some to eat too." The little one Zhang Xiaotao was unhappy and hurriedly began to compete for favor.

"Alright, alright, alright, Taotao is also the best-behaved," Zhang Ran said happily.

At this moment, he wished he could just buy the entire grilled sausage stall.

After returning home, the smile on Zhang Ran's face had not disappeared.

Today, Liu Lu and Zhang Sicheng both returned a bit early. Liu Lu was because the little girl Wang Jiajia was fawning over her and helped her finish most of her work, so she came back directly when it was time to get off work.

Zhang Sicheng had nothing to do. Now there were already signs of instability in the company, and all kinds of rumors were flying everywhere; hardly anyone had the heart to work.

As soon as the two returned home, they smelled a delicate fragrance. This fragrance was very faint, but it had a long aftertaste.

Zhang Sicheng and Liu Lu both subconsciously took a deep breath, and then felt their whole bodies become refreshed. The fatigue from working all day seemed to have disappeared a bit.

"You both came back so early today?" Zhang Ran was a bit surprised.

"Yes, it just so happens that it wasn't very busy today. Did you buy these orchids?" Liu Lu also saw the three pots of Fragrant Orchid.

Zhang Ran nodded and said, "I just happened to stroll through the flower and bird market today. Seeing that there were no flowers or plants for decoration at home, I bought three pots while I was at it."

"What is the name of this orchid? It smells so good. Your taste is really good," Liu Lu praised.

"Fragrant Orchid, it doesn't have much fame," Zhang Ran said vaguely.

Since Liu Lu was back, Zhang Ran didn't need to cook. Zhang Sicheng and Zhang Ran sat on the sofa and chatted about one thing or another, talking about whatever topic came to mind. In any case, both sides subconsciously didn't want the atmosphere to become silent.

Plus, with the naughty kid Zhang Xiaotao running around the room, the atmosphere remained quite good.

Zhang Xiaotao now had quite a few toys, and he went crazy playing as soon as he got home.

When the meal was ready, he was scolded by Liu Lu and then obediently put his things away, then obediently washed his hands to eat.

By comparison, Susu appeared much more well-behaved. She didn't need Liu Lu to urge her at all; she sat at the dining table very well-behaved, and she wouldn't move her chopsticks randomly. She only picked up her chopsticks and ate in small bites after the adults started eating.
