Volume 1 Spring Chapter 7 Mother-in-law
In April, the temperature has risen to more than ten degrees above zero, and the flowers and plants in the gardening store are in full bloom, creating a scene of vitality. Some weed seeds have also been awakened by the bustle outside and have popped up one after another. Bai Xue was bored and found that
If weeds grow in a flower pot, they will be pulled out immediately. Sometimes it is not clear whether they are grass or newly sprouted flower seedlings, and the flower seedlings will be accidentally damaged.
"Hey, why is there a mother-in-law tree growing in this pot? It's almost blooming." Bai Xue found that there were no flowers in a small flower pot, but a lush mother-in-law tree grew. As he said this, he was about to pull it out.
"Don't move!" Feng Chunxi, who was leaning on a wicker chair and reading a book, suddenly jumped up and stretched out his hand to signal Bai Xue to stop.
Bai Xue was startled by Feng Chunxi's violent reaction, and wondered if this was an exotic flower that looked like a grandma, and she almost got into trouble.
Seeing that the mother-in-law tree was fine, Feng Chunxi breathed a long sigh of relief, and then realized that her reaction just now to protect the mother-in-law tree was a bit exaggerated: "Xue'er, don't pull out that tree, I kept it specially.
"
"Why raise it? Dip it in sauce?" Bai Xue looked confused.
After hesitating for a moment, Feng Chunxi decided to tell her the story about her mother-in-law Ding. She had a lot of things hidden in her heart, and she wanted to find someone to tell her to. Currently, Bai Xue was his only friend. Although it was a bit informal, he was an adult after all.
The story starts from the year when Feng Chunxi first entered the hospital. At that time, he was so despairing that he even had the idea of committing suicide. When he went out for a walk, Feng Chunxi accidentally discovered a cattail tree growing in a gap in the asphalt ground.
The buds of the mother-in-law tree have taken shape and will bloom soon. Inside the high wall, everything is dark. The budding mother-in-law tree gives Feng Chunxi a hint of color. In order to prevent the mother-in-law tree from being destroyed
If someone stepped on it or it was cleaned up during the next cleaning, Feng Chunxi decided to raise it.
There was definitely no way to get a flower pot inside, so Feng Chunxi decided to use an instant noodle bucket instead. When the guard heard that Feng Chunxi came to him for an instant noodle bucket, he didn't react for a moment and thought the boy was greedy.
, wanted to change the taste. After understanding the reason, I couldn't help laughing, but I still took out a bucket of noodles from under the desk and handed it to Feng Chunxi, reminding him by the way, "it sounds better to call it dandelion, at least more like a flower."
name".
So, Feng Chunxi carefully dug out a dandelion that grew in the cracks in the asphalt with a small branch and planted it into the bucket of instant noodles. Every day after that, Feng Chunxi took care of it like a rare flower and looked at it.
It grew day by day until it bloomed. The inmates laughed at him at first, but gradually some of them were infected and looked forward to the blooming of this little yellow flower. For these people whose lives are monotonous and boring, this cannot but be said.
An interesting thing.
Half a month later, the dandelion bloomed into a beautiful yellow flower. A group of inmates held a flower-viewing party around it and discussed the beauty of the flower. Some even boasted about the flowers they had grown.
What kind of precious variety has it been?
Later, the dandelion flower turned into a round ball of seeds. Feng Chunxi and several inmates held a grand release ceremony, and each said all the words they wanted to bring to someone outside.
, and then blow up these "little parachutes" together, letting them fly out of the high wall with everyone's words. When other inmates saw it, they called them a group of two hundred and fifty.
The leaders there learned that Feng Chunxi had a talent for gardening and arranged for him to be responsible for the care and greening of all green plants. Although it was also very hard, it was much more interesting than the monotonous work of stepping on the sewing machine. Feng Chunxi was planting plants every day.
Spending time caring for flowers and plants, my mood gradually improved, and my love for life gradually rekindled.
In order to grow better and more beautiful green plants, he bought a lot of professional books for himself. Not only did his knowledge of gardening greatly improve, but he also learned about plant healing. He also truly understood
, why is my father so persistent in opening a gardening store? It turns out that my father heals himself and warms others by being with flowers and plants every day.
After listening to the story told by Feng Chunxi, Bai Xue suddenly realized that the pot of dandelion in front of her was no longer a pickle, but a light of life that could bring people hope. She quickly took the kettle and sprayed a few drops on the roots of the dandelion.
Down.
"Xue, if I said I could feel the emotions of plants, would you believe it?" Feng Chunxi asked solemnly.
"I don't believe it." Bai Xue answered simply.
"I know you won't believe it, and I think this is an illusion. But anyway, plants can indeed have some kind of psychological connection with people, so they have a very good healing effect on some special people.
For example, elderly people living alone, people struggling on the edge of death, people who have lost confidence in life, etc."
"Brother Chunxi, I believe this. You are not the only one who likes flowers and plants, I also like them, so I can feel the comfort that a pot of plants brings to my soul." Bai Xue turned around with a beautiful smile on her lips, just like when she was a child.
.
"After I came out, I found that the outside world has indeed undergone earth-shaking changes compared to more than ten years ago. Everyone's life has improved. More and more people live in high-rise buildings and drive cars, and the standard of eating and dressing is even better than before.
How many times. But the smiles on their faces are getting less and less, and they are getting stiffer. Everyone seems to be walking in a hurry. There are very few people who can really sit down and enjoy a bowl of tea, and there are only a few people who can calm down and plant a pot of flowers.
Just less.”
Feng Chunxi still remembers that in his father’s gardening shop, flower seedlings, flower pots and flower soil were sold separately, and people bought them back to plant according to their own needs. Now, not to mention Feng Chunxi’s retail store, it is also in the flower wholesale market.
They also mainly use well-matched finished potted plants. Most people no longer have the patience to plant a flower by themselves, and then wait for it to grow and bloom little by little. People are more willing to spend a little more money and directly buy mature flowers and plants, and abandon them more than the results.
For important processes, enjoy the results directly.
After listening to Feng Chunxi's words, Bai Xue was in a daze. She seemed to see the young Brother Chunxi coming back. The enthusiastic and kind Brother Chunxi before he was rebellious was the most important memory of her childhood.
Bang, there was a loud sound of the flower pot breaking. At the door, Aunt Qin came menacingly. What was broken on the ground was the Chunlan that Aunt Qin gave to Teacher Du.
"Bad boy, what did you tell Teacher Du?" Aunt Qin's eyes widened, and she looked like she wanted to eat Feng Chunxi.
"I didn't say anything, I just told him to put Chunlan in a more suitable position." Feng Chunxi explained.
"Why are you talking so much? Are you implying to him that it is inappropriate for me to place my heart on him?"
Feng Chunxi was completely confused: "What? I don't mean that. Your two elders are having a twilight love affair. How can I, a junior, participate in it?"
"I blame you for talking nonsense. Teacher Du came to me early this morning and said that you woke him up and asked me to give this pot of spring orchid to a more suitable person!"
Feng Chunxi cursed in his heart, these intellectuals could really contact each other blindly. She obviously just wanted him to put the flowers in a good-looking position. Why did this involve Aunt Qin?
"Aunt Qin, I really don't mean that. Teacher Du must have misunderstood." Feng Chunxi once again expressed his grievance.
"Stop talking nonsense, today is April 1st, and May Day is one month away. When the rent is 80,000 yuan, if you miss even one cent, get out of here!" Aunt Qin moved forward, her finger almost pointing at Feng Chunxi's.
face.
"Aunt Qin, are you kidding me?" Bai Xue interrupted carefully.
"Am I kidding? I'm not in the mood to joke with you!"
"But today is April Fool's Day!"
"Bah, don't talk nonsense. I'm not stupid at all. If you don't pay back the money then, I will destroy this flower shop!" After saying that, Aunt Qin spit out a mouthful of phlegm and left in a stride.
