Chapter 213: Opportunities Can Be Encountered But Not Seeked
Chen Xiaonian's figure was about to disappear at the end of the cobblestone path. The young man was still standing in front of the pavilion thinking. Various possibilities kept flashing in his mind, but only the one that this woman had ulterior motives for him appeared the most. Then he started to think about himself.
This absurd idea makes me feel ashamed. How can a person like him, who is completely innocent and useless, have any plans for himself? Moreover, he thinks that his appearance is nothing extraordinary.
The young man was thinking a lot in the back garden. Chen Xiaonian had already called the gardener and told him that he had found an apprentice for him. On the surface, the gardener was noncommittal about her words and did not take it seriously. Even if he did not raise his head,
Looking at the other person's expression, Chen Xiaonian also knew what the gardener was thinking at the moment. People who are very capable like this are usually arrogant. They only believe in themselves, so she didn't say much. She just asked people to take pictures of the flowers and plants in the juvenile home.
The photo is placed in front of the gardener.
After all, she was his employer. Although the gardener was proud, he could not refute her face. As he looked through the pages one by one, his facial expression changed from disdain and contempt at the beginning to solemnity, and finally, a rare expression of joy appeared.
.
"As far as I know, the flowers and plants planted here were all discovered by the young man himself."
One sentence made the gardener's expression change again, and the surprise faded away and replaced with solemnity.
"Madam, I don't know where this young man is. I want to have a chat with him."
The flowers and plants shown in the photo are easy for experienced gardeners to plant, but there are several difficult ones that are very difficult for ordinary flower and plant lovers. Now
It is not difficult to see from the inside that they have been well cultivated by the young man, so he thinks that this young man must have some talent in this area. It is difficult to find a close friend after a thousand drinks, and you absolutely cannot miss it when you meet such a person. The gardener is here
On the one hand, he has been working hard for decades, and he has never thought about or encountered the idea of accepting an apprentice to pass on his craftsmanship. It was not until today that he finally came up with this idea after seeing these 'beauties' planted by the young man.
idea.
Chen Xiaonian thought for a while, "If he hadn't left, he should still be at the pavilion in the back garden."
The gardener left in a hurry, and as soon as he turned the corner, he saw the young man walking back and forth there, looking very thoughtful, just like when he made the decision whether to continue or change careers.
"Are you interested in visiting the flower house here together?"
The young man's mind was spinning a thousand times. When he heard the sudden voice, he looked over in surprise and saw a gray-haired man standing not far from him with a stern face.
"Are you talking to me?"
Some idle teenagers asked a silly question in a daze. He didn't notice that the only other person in the back garden at this time was the uncle opposite him.
"Although I love gardening and devote all my energy to it, I haven't reached the point where I can communicate with them."
The gardener's joke was so cold that the boy shivered in this sunny day.
"Did that woman ask you to come to me?"
The gardener knew who the young man was talking about, so he defended himself: "My wife's surname is Chen, and she is the wife of Mr. Lin Qi."
The boy's face felt a little hot, and he felt like an orphan without a tutor.
"Just be careful from now on, and come with me."
The gardener turned and walked in another direction. The boy heard him say that he also loved gardening, so he followed him involuntarily. When he came to the flower room, he was shocked by the huge scale. The various plants inside were dazzling.
Come on, I am really envious of the fact that a gardener can work here. Think about the small garden shed at home. Secondly, it is simple and simple. The plants in it are really nothing compared to here.
The young man's heart began to get excited as he went deeper, and many plants that he had only seen in books appeared before his eyes one by one. He gently caressed each plant that made him extremely excited, as if caressing a newborn baby.
"this is?"
While passing by a rare flower area, the boy was attracted by the cute-looking plant. He leaned forward and took a closer look. There was a dense layer of velvet on the willow-shaped leaves, and several buds faintly revealed white petals.
"This is the Snow Lotus. I brought it here myself and took good care of it for more than three years. Now it is finally blooming."
The gardener stood nearby and introduced him.
"Can I visit when it blooms?"
The young man's face became more excited, and the gardener smiled and nodded.
"Why did Madam bring you here?"
Continuing to walk forward, the gardener blurted out this question when he thought of it. The young man shook his head. He still hasn't figured out why Chen Xiaonian did this.
"Are you interested in learning to plant and cultivate flowers and plants with me?"
The horticulturist thought for a while, and then Chen Xiaonian brought the boy here and specifically called him over to show off his skills. He must have accidentally discovered that he didn't want to bury the talent. The pot of ghost orchid appeared in his mind, so the horticulturist led the boy over.
The place where the ghost orchid was planted pointed at it and said, "Where did you get this ghost orchid?"
"Ghost Orchid?"
Obviously the young man did not expect it. After careful observation, he discovered that the small green plant growing on the tree was the one he used to exchange food with Chen Xiaonian.
"It is also called ghost orchid, a leafless saprophytic plant. It usually grows in environments such as swamps. Its flowers are white and ethereal."
The young man still looked confused, "I picked this up in the flower market that others didn't want."
The horticulturist narrowed his eyes and said nothing more. According to his own understanding, there is no environment suitable for the growth of ghost orchids here. Putting aside the topic, he asked the young man again if he was willing to learn from him. The young man hesitated, if he were here
, who will take care of his grandmother? Although he was very moved, he still refused, but his voice was not so firm.
Unwilling to force it, the gardener regretted for a while and took the boy to continue admiring the exotic flowers and plants in the flower room. The more this happened, the more entangled and swaying the boy's heart became. Seeing his contradiction, the gardener did not expose it, but only made it more comprehensive.
Introduce the characteristics and habits of various plants and the degree to which they are valued.
When he was sent back, the young man reluctantly glanced in the direction of the greenhouse. In the next few days, he said that he was distracted while taking care of his grandma, who had not fully recovered. Even in his sleep at night, he could see the greenhouse at Chen Xiaonian's house one after another.
The rare plants he saw there seemed to come to life, circling around him.
Worried, he could only spend his free time in the flower room taking care of his beloved flowers and plants, trying to use this method to drive out those things in his mind. But as the old saying goes, the more you force yourself to forget something, the more it will
The deeper it takes root in your mind.
"My dear grandson, why have you been so unhappy lately? Are you in trouble?"
The young man's grandmother asked him when he was lost in thought again. Although she had poor eyesight, her grandson's obvious changes could be felt even if he was blind.
"Grandma, why did you come out?"
The young man who was staring at a pot of Phalaenopsis in a daze quickly stepped forward to help his grandma who was about to go down the stairs. The old man patted his grandson's hand lovingly.
"I feel like the weather is good today, so I just want to go out and feel the sunshine."
The old man was helped to sit on a rocking chair in the courtyard. The slanting sun in the morning was a little warmer. The young man used a small wooden hammer to beat his grandmother's arms and legs. Soon the old man fell asleep because of the extreme comfort.
That night, as soon as Chen Xiaonian fell asleep, she received a video call from her man. The man on the other end was as high-spirited as usual. Judging from his surroundings, he must have attended some event, but there was some anger in his starry eyes.
circulation.
"You brought a man home behind my back?"
The voice was calm, but Chen Xiaonian felt the signs of a volcanic eruption.
"What are you talking about? Do you mean you don't believe me as a person?"
Not daring to refute loudly, Chen Xiaonian could only quickly clench his fist and raise it to express his protest. After all, the boy was really invited by himself.
"I'll go back in half a month."
Lin Qi ignored Chen Xiaonian's meaningless actions, his eyes were as sharp as if he could pass through from the other side, and someone with an inexplicable guilty conscience silently hid under the quilt.
No! What do I feel guilty for? I didn’t do anything shameful.
Chen Xiaonian, who succumbed to the strong pressure of the man, seemed to have been unsealed. He opened the quilt with an "Ouch" and glared at the opponent. Unfortunately, he was defeated in less than three seconds.
"Don't think you can do whatever you want just because I'm not by your side. Do you think I don't know what you do?"
Chen Xiaonian immediately thought that those bodyguards had betrayed her. Lin Qi kept staring at her, and when he saw those eyes that were rolling around, he knew that he had guessed right.
"Be honest, or should you wait until I get back and ask again?"
The already scary eyes darkened instantly. Lin Qi held a string of mutton-fat jade rosary beads and turned them quickly in his hand, as if this was the only way to relieve his inner anxiety.
Looking at Lin Qi's eyes like interrogating a prisoner, Chen Xiaonian had no choice but to relent and explain the cause and effect. After all, his life is his own. After hearing this, Lin Qi's evil aura that almost overflowed the screen dissipated in an instant, and he returned to his usual self.
The gentle image in front of Chen Xiaonian.
"I thought that this flower shouldn't appear here. How could a person with no power get it, so I wanted to arrange for him to come home to see if there was any problem."
Lin Qi casually picked up the documents sent by the secretary before and read through them: "You are quite capable of finding trouble for yourself."
Chen Xiaonian was speechless. If he cared about it, he was really looking for trouble.
"I'm going to sleep, goodbye!"
Chen Xiaonian, who had lost face, spoke harshly and angrily acted like a "coward".
Damn man, I'll bite you to death!
Q version Lin Qi's face was pulled and deformed, and after being ravaged, it flew to the wall in a naked image and then fell to the ground. Seemingly annoyed, Chen Xiaonian ran down and stepped on it again.
