Volume 1 Spring Chapter 14 Sunflowers
What kind of flowers do you want to give to patients? A flower shop owner like Ma Jing must be the most professional and authoritative. Feng Chunxi decided to ask her for advice.
After learning about Feng Chunxi's purpose, Ma Jing enthusiastically introduced to him: "No gift can help patients recover quickly like a beautiful bouquet of flowers. A beautiful bouquet of flowers can relieve people's depression, make patients feel energetic, and then get a good mental state. It is very helpful to encourage rapid recovery. Things to note: Don't give patients flowers with too strong fragrance, such as freesia, lily or lilac flowers, in fact, are not suitable for patients. On the contrary, roses, carnations and sun flowers of various colors are good choices. These flowers are bright, pleasant, and have a light fragrance, and will not affect the patient's rest..."
"I didn't plant roses, but I really have some carnations and sunflowers, and they both grow well." After listening to Ma Jing's suggestion, Feng Chunxi initially planned to use carnations or sunflowers.
Ma Jing was stunned for a moment and asked, "Chunxi, don't you want to give Xiao Luo a potted plant, right?"
"Yes, I open a gardening shop, so I must be more sincere in delivering potted plants."
"But, have you never heard of the fact that it is not allowed to send a patient to potted plants?"
Feng Chunxi really didn't know, but in fact, he had almost no experience of visiting the patient: "Is that so? I really don't know."
"Sending potted plants for people means that long-term illness will lead to roots, so you have to send flowers when you see patients. Also, you must go in the morning, and it is considered unlucky in the afternoon." Ma Jing patiently explained to Feng Chunxi.
After listening to Ma Jing's explanation, Feng Chunxi gave up the idea of giving Xiao Luo potted plants and decided to buy a bouquet of flowers from Ma Jing's store to give to Xiao Luo. However, he was not very satisfied with the carnations and sunflowers in the store, and always felt that there was a lack of vitality. Rose flowers were obviously not suitable for sending to little boys. Feng Chunxi looked around the entire flower shop and was suddenly attracted by the few sunflowers inserted in the glass bottle. This is a small sunflower, specially used to make fresh cut flowers, with yellow leaves blooming on the heads of the full flower, like a smiling little sun. I remembered a game called "Plant vs. Zombies" that Bai Xue liked to play, which contained many sunflowers, and Feng Chunxi loved this kind of flowers even more.
"Chunxi, do you want to send sunflowers?" Ma Jing asked when Feng Chunxi's eyes were stuck on the sunflowers.
"Yes, is this kind of flower suitable?"
Ma Jing smiled and took out the sunflower all the time in her hand: "Of course it is suitable. The sunflower is bright in color, very vitality, and has no strong fragrance, so it will not cause discomfort to the patient. Its words have the meaning of hope. This is a good blessing for the patient, and I wish the other party a quick recovery. Moreover, the sunflower is the sunniest flower in the world, and it is the most suitable for sunny boys. It is a good choice."
After hearing Ma Jing's explanation, Feng Chunxi immediately decided to give Xiao Luo a bouquet of sunflowers. Ma Jing helped Feng Chunxi choose a single-flowered sunflower, paired with a few Eucalyptus, wrapped it in newspaper-style flower paper, and it was immediately full of artistic atmosphere. Feng Chunxi wanted to give Ma Jing money, but she refused to accept it. Thinking of Ma Jing coming to buy hyacinths in her store, she only gave her three yuan each of them, and she felt ashamed.
"What should you do when you go to the provincial capital? "
"I'll only go for one day, just turn it off for the time being."
"Don't keep it off, I'll help you watch it. If someone comes to buy flowers, I'll call you for the price."
"If this is the case, I'm not polite." Feng Chunxi was about to agree, but suddenly remembered the question that Ma Jing actually didn't like cats. "But what should I do with lemon? I'm really worried that it will hurt you again."
Ma Jing subconsciously glanced at his hand. At this time, the wound had basically healed, and there was only a faint mark. Then he comforted Feng Chunxi and said, "It's okay, I can ask Zhou Zhi to accompany me. Their pet hospitals are all closed. I can ask her to accompany me today. But you have to leave quickly and go to the hospital before noon."
Feng Chunxi stopped refusing and left the keys in the store to Ma Jing, and took a car to the train station.
According to the address given by Bai Xue, Feng Chunxi rushed to the hospital where Luo was located before eleven o'clock. Bai Xue had been waiting downstairs for a long time. Because of the operation, Bai Xue's hair was shaved, her lips were a little white, and she looked very weak. Feng Chunxi felt a little heartbroken, but she still deliberately pretended to be happy.
"Little Luo, who are you here?" Bai Xue greeted Xiao Luo with a smile.
Xiao Luo called out Sister Bai Xue, then looked at Feng Chunxi holding sunflowers, and immediately showed a row of small white teeth and smiled and said, "Brother Chunxi, why are you here? Where is the lemon, is it here?"
"I'll come to see you. I heard that Xiao Luo is going to have surgery, so I'll cheer you up! Lemon is very good. It misses you very much, but the journey is too far, and the hospital does not allow pets to come in. When Xiao Luo gets better soon, he can pick up the lemon home."
"Is it good? Have you had a good meal recently?" When talking about lemon, Ronaldo's eyes became much more energetic.
"I'm not very obedient, I often break flower pots. But I'm very edible. I've gained weight again recently."
"When I go home and teach it a lesson, let it not cause trouble. By the way, Brother Chunxi, I raised the succulent you gave me very well. Now it's a big one." As he said that, Xiao Luo pointed to a succulent on the windowsill. It was the miracle of spring that Feng Chunxi gave him before.
Feng Chunxi found that the pot of Spring Miracle was very good because it was placed on the windowsill with plenty of lighting, and it showed a gradient red color, which looked very beautiful. "Little Luo, look at the sunflowers that my brother brought to you, do you like it?" As he said that, Feng Chunxi stood the bouquet of sunflowers on the cabinet beside the bed.
"So beautiful! Will it produce delicious melon seeds?" Xiao Luo stretched out his right hand and touched the bouquet, and praised.
"Of course, after Luo Xiao's surgery, melon seeds will be produced. Then, my brother will take you to sow the seeds into the soil and plant a large sea of sunflowers."
"Really? That must be very beautiful. I'm going to take lemon with my friends."
In the corridor, Feng Chunxi asked Luo Luo's mother about Luo's condition, but she got the answer she least wanted to hear - the success rate of the surgery was very low, but it was Luo Luo's only chance.
When saying goodbye to Xiao Luo, Feng Chunxi sorted out the bouquet of sunflowers again. No one noticed that he took the opportunity to put a bank card under the bouquet, which contained 40,000 yuan.
"I want to plant a sunflower in a foreign land and my hometown. The hospitality of the strange city, the busy world seems to be flying, crossing the overpass and walking through the grassland, they are really comfortable in the cafe..."
In the bar, Bai Xue stood on the small stage and sang the song "Sunflower", while Feng Chunxi was drinking bitter beer. He wanted to rush back to the store in the afternoon, stayed for one night under Bai Xue's insistence, and went to her friend's bar to play.
Feng Chunxi wanted to ask Baixue if she was doing well. Baixue said she was doing well and the money in her wallet was indeed very thick, but Feng Chunxi still couldn't see the look of her childhood when she was happy.
There are a few days when it is time to pay the rent. All the 40,000 yuan saved was given to Xiao Luo. Feng Chunxi didn't know how to face Aunt Qin. At this moment, he no longer wanted to think about these things. He only knew that if he didn't help Xiao Luo, he wouldn't be happy even if the gardening store was opened well. His father in heaven would definitely support him in doing this.
