Hui Lan: If your father retires, his eyesight will decline faster.
Jianqin:Why?
Hui Lan: Holding the book all day long will make him blind sooner or later.
Jianqin: Po Tutu should be more restrained.
Jin Yu: My words are a bit exaggerated. Why don’t you hold them and let them go? I’m just looking at the flowers. During this May Day holiday, the happiest thing is this pot of azaleas, which are still so bright in May.
.
Huilan: I didn’t buy it yet. Are you willing to pay a hundred yuan?
Jianqin: One hundred yuan is not expensive, and it blooms so brightly.
Jin Yu: How could I be willing to spend a hundred yuan to buy a pot of flowers? Look at the two pots of flowers on the balcony, but I didn’t spend a penny.
Jianqin: Someone gave it to me?
Jin Yu: I sowed the seeds with my own hands. A pot of pomegranates and a pot of plum blossoms. The two seeds bloomed wonderfully.
Hui Lan: Your father loves bargains and doesn’t dare to touch expensive ones. However, he is willing to spend money on his daughter.
Jianqin: I am also willing to spend money for my mother-in-law.
Hui Lan: I just can’t bear to spend an extra penny on myself.
Jianqin: Po Tutu shouldn’t be too harsh on yourself. Our monthly salary is not low now. The money you earn is used for spending.
Jinyu: But it’s not for waste. I don’t have much material needs, so one thousand yuan a month is enough.
Huilan: Your father has always been a spiritual person. He would be satisfied if he had books to read and flowers to enjoy.
Jianqin: Po Tutu is quite happy and relaxed. He doesn’t even know what worries are in the world.
Jin Yu: Your comments are spot on and very pertinent. We can’t just talk too much. It’s a moment of silence. I want to stare at my azaleas for a while. Maybe you two don’t know that plants also have feelings. Although they don’t.
They can speak, but they can feel people's hearts. If you appreciate them, they will be happy. If you say bad things about them, they will be unhappy. Look at this pot of azaleas. It requires very little from people. Give it enough water, and it will bloom so brilliantly.
Make people happy.
Cymbidium: Flowers bloom like this, and so do people.
Jianqin: But it’s hard to do, and most of them are still busy. It’s easy to learn flowers, and life is beautiful and fragrant.
Jin Yu: Go ahead and get busy and let me watch quietly.
