Jin Yuanyuan's best match life

Chapter 51 The Legend of an Osmanthus Tree

Jin Yuanyuan struggled with these old employees for several days. She also squatted in Jin Yaya's warehouse to help load the express delivery for several days. She listened to all kinds of gossip stories, and even the one in front of Jin Yaya's small restaurant. The story of the sweet-scented osmanthus tree.

She didn't even know about this.

The story started seventy years ago. Her grandfather, Jin Rongguang, had several brothers and sisters. His eldest brother, Jin Rongfa, who was five years older than him, was the most handsome and promising. He was also an expert at working and farming. He had never even learned to draw. After following his family to renovate several ancient houses, he learned how to trace the paintings on the beams and quickly learned how to mix colors and outline lines. Even his masters said that he would not be able to do so in the future. He must be a powerful expert if he is underestimated.

Jin Rongguang also likes to be with his eldest brother because every time he goes out to work, he will bring him some delicious food. After touching his head, he tells him to study hard and go to a big city to do a big career.

The days passed like this, ordinary and happy. The eldest brother came back excitedly from outside one day, brought back a thick branch, and said it was an osmanthus tree. When it grows up, there will be osmanthus cakes to eat.

Jin Rongguang was naturally thinking about eating, so he watched helplessly as his elder brother planted the thick branch at the door of his house, poured water on it, and mixed it with soil. Although it looked a little strange, it sounded strange. After seeing the elder brother's description, Jin Rongguang also felt that this should be a good thing, so he waited patiently.

The eldest brother also told him not to block the sunlight, but to water it every three days. If there is some chicken manure, he can also bury it underneath as fertilizer.

"If this thing is grown, it should be very valuable and rare. You have to take good care of it. When the eldest brother is not at home, you have to protect it as if you are protecting the eldest brother. Can you promise me?"

Hearing what his elder brother said, Jin Rongguang nodded vigorously and swore, "I promise to complete the mission!"

But not long after, the eldest brother suddenly complained of a stomachache and lay at home all night. When Jin Rongguang went to see him in the morning, his whole body was cold.

Faced with this change, Jin Rongguang couldn't accept it at all, and the Jin family also cried and cried. This was the most promising person in the family, and it was time to earn money to support the family. After losing their lives in the golden years, the Jin family also fell into misery.

But life has to go on.

It wasn't until a month after the funeral that Jin Rongguang remembered to water the thick branch. But at this time, he was surprised to find that the thick branch was left unattended without anyone taking care of it. He grew branches and new green, and he seemed to be alive.

From then on, he carefully took care of this thick wooden branch until it slowly grew, from half a person tall to a person tall, from the thickness of a fist to the thickness of a thigh, growing little by little, just like these years. Jin Rongguang also refused to leave Jinjiacun to do things outside. He was only willing to do some carpentry work and tailoring at home. He could water the thick branches of the sweet-scented osmanthus tree every day and enjoy his free time. At that time, he was still sitting under a tree talking to himself.

When Jin Yuanbao was born, he also grew up under this tree. At that time, the sweet-scented osmanthus tree was already so tall that its outstretched branches and leaves could even cover the roof of the Jin family’s ancestral house. Jin Rongguang often told Jin Yuanbao's story about his uncle, and he also asked Jin Yuanbao to learn the skills of carving and painting and become as powerful a person as his uncle.

Jin Yuanbao also regarded this uncle as a benchmark for his own growth, and worked very hard to learn about ancient buildings. He not only learned about the masons, but also specialized in the construction of these ancient buildings. He carefully studied and observed the wooden frames, doors, windows, corbels, sparrows, brick carvings, stone carvings, etc., and discovered the essence from the smallest details. Of course, Jin Yuanbao followed his father's example and often watered and fertilized the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, and even pruned the branches and leaves to make it grow stronger and more lush. Every time it blooms, those trees that are one kilometer away can The aroma you smell always reminds you of home and the meaning of home.

When Jin Yuanyuan was born, Jin Yuanbao took Jin Yuanyuan to play under this sweet-scented osmanthus tree. Later, the place was converted into Jin Yaya's small restaurant. When people near and far mentioned Jin Yaya's small restaurant, they would also mention this sweet-scented osmanthus tree first. Tree.

The fragrance is indeed very rich, with a light sweetness mixed with a unique fragrance, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

But Jin Yuanbao never told the story of this tree, and maybe he didn't have the chance to tell her about it. Zhu Hongying may also know, but for so many years, she and Jin Yuanyuan have not really sat down and chatted about these things.

After Jin Yuanyuan heard about the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, although she sighed a little, at the same time she had a doubt in her heart: There must be something in this sweet-scented osmanthus tree, otherwise the young lady Zhao Zhuoran brought here would not think about it. Buy the tree.

While she was wondering about it casually, Zhao Zhuoran actually called her and asked her if she had prepared any New Year's goods. He was packing a New Year's Eve dinner gift package for a client, and he could give her one as well. "It's free, no money required! You've helped me introduce so many customers, and I'm grateful to you."

"My mother should have a party with her sisters and old friends. No one is having New Year's Eve dinner." Jin Yuanyuan thought for a while. In previous years, she would have been playing outside at this time. It is rare to have such a long holiday. Jin Yuanbao and Zhu Hongying were not together, and they would not have a grand New Year's Eve dinner, so she was even more happy that she did not have to go home.

But this year is a little different. At least during the Spring Festival, she stayed in Jinjiacun to celebrate the New Year because of the sock factory.

"What about your New Year's Eve dinner?" Zhao Zhuoran's place was obviously very chaotic and noisy. "Would you like to come to my store? We are open for business on New Year's Eve, and now it is fully booked. I will save a seat for you. , how about I get another grouper in the small room where we had a meal last time?"

"No, no, no, Cao Xiaoyu, Jin Feiyan and I are left-behind children, so we can just eat whatever we want."

"No, no, no, no, then I have to take good care of the left-behind children." Zhao Zhuoran smiled quite happily, "Isn't your friend Ye Huanxi coming? I feel a shadow in my heart when I go out and see that lakeside. I always feel that Ye Huanxi Standing there crying."

"Bah, bah, bah, she's fine. Do you hope she'll be better?" Jin Yuanyuan was unhappy, "She wants to go home to have dinner with her parents. Let me ask Cao Xiaoyu. In fact, I suspect that he wants to be alone For dinner with Jin Feiyan...forget it, I'd better ask first."

"Okay, in addition to me and the people in our store, I also asked Dong Xiaoran to come over. Her family are all in the UK, so she is the only one here... Is it okay?" Zhao Zhuoran suddenly asked a little cautiously .

Jin Yuanyuan immediately said loudly: "Okay, okay, I was just thinking about talking to her about bamboo fiber socks!"
