During the period from May to June, there was a succession of happy events.

Since the last time Yuan Jia led Xu Nanyu out of the house successfully, her confidence has increased greatly, from leaving the house 100 meters, to 200 meters, 500 meters, and 1 kilometer......

In these days, Yuanjia will find time to come over to practice with her almost every day, sometimes in the morning, sometimes at noon, and sometimes in the evening.

With Yuanjia's company and encouragement, Xu Nanyi's every success has been effectively transformed into her self-confidence.

Like a puppy that has been stuck at home for a long time, whenever the owner gets off work, he can't help but bite the owner's trouser leg and chirp and want to go out for a walk.

Of course, Xu Nanyu is not a puppy, but the mood to go out is not weaker than that of a puppy, and every time he goes out, he always has to go farther than last time.

The day before yesterday, Yuanjia came early, because there was a class in the morning and an appointment in the afternoon, so he came to her house at six o'clock, went out with her, walked to a higher place uphill, and watched the rising sun together.

Yesterday Yuan Jia came late, and arrived at Gardenia's house at eight o'clock in the evening, and then the two walked out of the house together and walked under the street lamp.

The street lamp is a good thing, and the people under the street lamp will form a clear shadow, so Yuan Jia will accompany Gardenia to play shadow games with her hands under the street lamp, and compare birds and rabbits together, which makes her giggle.

Whether it is for Yuanjia or Gardenia, such days are naturally happy, and this kind of progress visible to the naked eye contains a huge sense of happiness and satisfaction.

When Yuan Jia was away, Xu Nanyu herself would try to go outside, but the distance was much shorter than when he was, and she was a little panicked, but as time passed, she was able to cope with this feeling well with slow attempts and habits.

However, Xu Nanyu still prefers to go out with Yuan Jia.

Hats and masks have become the standard for her to go out, and Xu Nanyu is still more resistant to strangers.

Sometimes Yuanjia leads her to walk on the path outside, and often meets neighbors who live in the same villa area, and whenever this happens, Gardenia's body will tense and her eyes will avoid pedestrians.

If she was practicing outside, then as soon as she saw someone, she hurried home like an elf and hid.

For this, Yuan Jia has no good way for the time being, only through continuous practice to overcome and get used to, in the last hypnosis, Yuan Jia implanted a new cognition for Gardenia, and there is no need to care about the gaze of the 'stone', she does not exist for the likes of all mankind.

Compared with the previous state, Gardenia's current performance is undoubtedly a huge improvement, so that she is not afraid of people at all, but through this practice again and again, Gardenia will become better one day.

Because she's progressed really, really great.

When the gardenia's watermelon blooms its first small pale yellow flower, June has arrived.

......

"It's getting hotter and hotter, Huihui, don't always bask in the sun, your head will blow up!"

Yang Hemei took out the mung bean paste made in the morning from the refrigerator, and the best sugar water in summer is mung bean paste.

If you want to cook mung beans quickly, you can use a pressure cooker to cook, but the taste is slightly worse.

Yang Hemei soaked the mung beans last night, cooked them slowly for a long time, and waited until the bean shells peeled off naturally, picked up the mung beans and filtered them carefully with coarse gauze, and the taste was very dense and 'sandy'.

If you use a blender to break the mung beans, the texture of the cooked beans will not be the natural 'sand', but will become 'paste', and the taste will be greatly reduced.

It is best to use flake sugar for sugar, if you use white sugar or saccharin, the taste is also much worse.

When cooking, Yang Hemei also added two pieces of tangerine peel, so it was boiled out with a unique flavor.

The best match for summer is naturally chilled watermelon and chilled mung bean paste!

Yuan Hui sat on the dining table and chair, her calves dangling in the air, and she was dealing with the watermelon in her hand, both sides of her mouth were stained with red watermelon juice, and there was a paper towel on the table, with a few black watermelon seeds on it, and a small bowl of chilled mung bean paste that Mommy had just brought to her in front of her.

"I didn't bask in the sun!

"Where is your brother?"

He secretly picked the gardenias in the community downstairs and said that he would give them to Sister Gardenia. ”

“......”

Yang Hemei was speechless, took out a new insulated food box from the cabinet, and scooped a large portion of iced mung bean paste.

"Mommy, who is this for?"

"Ask your brother to bring Gardenia to eat. ”

Yang Hemei has no culture and doesn't know much about mental illness, but through Yuan Jia's description and her two or three calls with Gardenia, she likes this 'introverted' girl very much.

In Yang Hemei's opinion, this is an authentic Jiangnan girl's character, gentle at home, and can cook, what a good daughter-in-law.

With the development of society and the emancipation of human nature, the girls of the Gu family are too precious, if Yuanjia finds a girlfriend who likes to go clubbing and wandering around, Yang Hemei will not like it.

Yuan Hui was eating watermelon, eating and asking with some concern: "Mommy, yesterday the teacher gave us watermelon to eat, Qiao Sansan and I accidentally ate a lot of watermelon seeds, Qiao Sansan said that after a while, we will grow a lot of watermelons in our stomachs, which will kill us, I said that if the watermelon grows in the stomach, then it will be eaten by us again." ”

“......”

Yang Hemei was speechless, set an example, picked up a piece of watermelon, did not spit out the seeds, and ate it all into his stomach.

Yuan Hui was stunned, and hurriedly stopped: "Mommy, aren't you afraid of watermelon growing in your stomach?"

"Grow your head, and I'll pull it out tomorrow. ”

The gardenias in the community have bloomed, and according to the agreement, Yuan Jia became a flower thief, picked the predetermined gardenia, and planned to give it to Xu Nan Gardenia for a while.

When I got home, I saw my mother giving my sister 'science' why watermelon seeds don't sprout in my stomach.

"I'm going to your Gardenia sister's house, are you going?"

Yuanjia washed his face and changed into clean clothes.

"Of course! Ika!"

Yuan Hui jumped out of her chair and ran to the balcony to look for the cat.

Yang Hemei took the prepared insulated food box to Yuanjia.

"Bring this one over to Gardenia. ”

"What about mine? Is there still a kitchen?"

"It's gone, it's all packed in, eat every day, what else do you eat." ”

“......”

Well, since he had a sister, Yuanjia's status began to decline, and after he had a girlfriend, his status was not even as good as that of the little fat cat.

Yuan Jia weighed the food box, there was a lot of portions in it, and Gardenia must not be able to eat it alone, so it was just right to eat with her.

Thinking about it this way, could it be my mother's good intentions?

After taking all the things, Yuanjia and her sister went to Gardenia's house together.

Knowing that he was coming, Xu Nanyu sat on a stone bench in the shade of a tree fifty meters from the door and waited for him.

Seeing Yuan Jia's car slowly driving over, Xu Nanyu got up, she was wearing an off-white skirt, a beanie hat on her head, and a mask on her face, but her eyes were already a little wider, her eyes were gentle and joyful, and she quietly looked at the direction where Yuan Jia came.

Yuan Jia parked the car beside her, leaned over to open the co-pilot's door, and shouted to her with a smile in the car: "Fool, it's hot, come in." ”

"Hmm!"

Because she doesn't go out, Gardenia rarely rides in the car, and gets into the car a little awkwardly, Yuanjia leans over to help her fasten her seat belt, and then shakes her hand and touches her forehead.

"It's so hot, you're about to get sunheat, aren't you?"

Gardenia shook her head, pulled down her mask, and said, "No, there is no sun there, and I just came out." ”

"Sister!"

Yuan Hui popped out of the back seat with her little head and a gardenia in her hand.

"Now, this is a token of love that my brother gave you!"

Xu Nanyu blushed all of a sudden, pulled up the mask again, and lowered his hat by two points, leaving only a pair of beautiful big eyes outside, and glanced at Yuan Jia angrily.

However, he still took the gardenia in Yuan Hui's hand with joy.

Holding it in both hands, he didn't speak, his eyes looked at the gardenia carefully, and he pulled down his mask and sniffed it gently.

She loved it.

"What a love token, Huihui, don't talk nonsense. ”

"Hey, didn't you just teach me......"

"I just ...... Here's an example!"

The car drove forward a little and arrived at Gardenia's house.

Yuanjia stopped the car, turned his head and asked Gardenia, "Do you want to walk around?"

"Hmm. ”

Gardenia nodded.

For the outside world, she is not so afraid, it is not to slowly expand the range of 100 meters, 200 meters, 500 meters, when it reaches a certain critical point, in fact, it does not matter if the range is farther.

In the confined environment of the car, with Yuan Jia by her side, it is very safe, she wears a mask and a hat, and she is not afraid to see pedestrians outside the car.

Yuan Jia started the car and drove slowly and leisurely in the villa area.

Gardenia doesn't know much about where she lives, and she's never been so far away from home.

Like Ika in the back seat, she sat quietly in the passenger seat, looking out through the window, the scenery slowly receding behind her.

Yuanjia plays a soft song, and the temperature of the air conditioner is also very suitable, so it is very leisurely to see the scenery.

After turning around the villa area, after Gardenia got used to it, Yuanjia drove outside, this road is on the edge of Taihu Lake, and you can see the wide Taihu Lake.

For ordinary people who live here, whether it is Taihu Lake, or the road, or pedestrians, or cars, they are already tired of seeing it, but for Gardenia, all this seems so novel.

Looking at the outside world, Gardenia's spirit was highly concentrated, and this wonderful journey took an hour, and after repeating the tour three times in a row, Gardenia leaned back on the seat and fell asleep a little sleepy.

When she opened her eyes and woke up, the car was already parked in front of her house.

"Are you home, have you woken up?"

"It feels like I've slept for a long, long time!"

Gardenia was very excited, and after this trip, her perception of the outside world has improved by a large level.

"When the summer vacation comes, let's go on a road trip. ”

"Uh-huh!"

"Brother, what about me, I'm going too!"

Yuan Hui, who was sleeping in the back seat, immediately became energetic when she heard that she was going to play during the summer vacation.

Taking the things back to the house, Yuanjia took out the mung bean paste and scooped a bowl for the gardenia to drink.

Gardenia took off her beanie hat and image mask, and the sober air blew on her face, and she felt very comfortable.

After taking another sip of the mung bean paste made by Yang and Mei Pot, I felt even more comfortable.

"Gardenia can try not wearing a mask or hat next time. Yuan Jia suggested.

Rarely, Gardenia vetoed Yuanjia's suggestion.

"Don't~"

"Why?"

"Anyway, I just don't want it~"

Gardenia doesn't want the 'stone' to see her, so she doesn't wear a hat or a mask, so she just shows him.

A woman is a person who pleases herself, and others have never praised her for her good looks, so she only leaves this good look to Yuan Jia.

The afternoon sun was fierce, and Yuanjia slipped away to Gardenia's room to escape the heat.

Yuanhui also came to learn to draw, and Gardenia became her art teacher, teaching her to draw cats by hand.

It's a pity that Huihui is not talented enough to draw cats, but she has a set of painting pigs.

"Huihui, your pig is so well drawn. ”

"Hey, I'm drawing a cat!"

After finding the problem, Gardenia doesn't let Huihui copy Ika, but draws a cat herself and lets Huihui follow it.

Yuan Jia smiled and watched the sisters drawing, he opened the curtains and looked at the swallow's nest by the eaves.

The four little swallows grew very fast, and in the past half a month, they have grown a lot, and the small swallow nests are a little squeezed.

Yuan Jia chirped a few times, and the little swallows glanced down at him like fools, which made Yuan Jia feel devastated.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the sun in the yard faded, and Gardenia took Yuanjia to see her watermelon patch.

Watermelon is a very good breed, and in the days of taking care of the growth of watermelon seedlings, gardenia has also drawn a lot of strength from it.

The thing she is looking forward to the most is that these ten watermelons will blossom and bear fruit, and grow big and sweet watermelons.

The whole growth cycle of watermelon is about three months, and it has been almost two months since the sowing at the end of April.

In the past two days, all ten watermelons have begun to grow small pale yellow flowers.

Yuanjia accompanies her on farming.

"Encyclopedia says that the first melon of the watermelon is not wanted, and this one is closer to the root, so you should pinch off the ......"

Gardenia said with rich experience, as if she really looked like a senior melon farmer, in order to grow these watermelons, she took a lot of effort.

"Then why don't you pinch it off?"

Yuan Jia squatted down, opened the melon leaves, and sure enough, he saw such a small watermelon, with small flowers growing on the top of his head.

"I—I'm reluctant to pinch ......"

Gardenia was very distressed, and felt that if she pinched it like this, it seemed so cruel.

"I'll help you. ”

Yuan Jia divided five by two, pinched these head melons, and when he opened his palm, there were small melons as big as soybean grains lying inside......

"Well, I'm pretty fast. ”

Yuanjia is still very proud.

Gardenia groaned, snatched the melon in his hand distressedly, patted him, and ignored him.

"It seems that the melon vine also needs to be pruned, a melon is enough for a maximum of two vines, and if there is not enough nutrition, the watermelon will not be sweet enough. ”

"I know......"

"Then why don't you prune?"

"I don't want to cut ......"

"I'll help you. ”

Under Gardenia's distressed gaze, Yuanjia cruelly pruned the watermelon vine again.

It's terrible!

I won't give you a watermelon to eat!

"Do you know how to distinguish male and female flowers?" asked Yuanjia.

"Yes. ”

Xu watermelon opened the leaves and pointed to a small yellow flower with a melon, "This is a female flower, if there are only flowers and no melons, it is a male flower." ”

"You're pretty professional. ”

"That's ~hum~"

I have to say that planting a few watermelons gave Gardenia a lot of confidence and let her know that she can actually do many, many things well.

"Did you pollinate them, then?"

"There are butterflies in the yard, so I don't need to pollinate......"

Gardenia blushed slightly, she had studied biology in junior high school, so she naturally knew that pollination was the meaning of shame.

"Butterflies?"

Gardenia followed Yuanjia's gaze, Ika was catching butterflies, it was coming too many during this time, and the butterflies and dragonflies in the yard were almost gone.

Gardenia: "......"

It seems that it is impossible to count on butterflies and dragonflies or small bees to pollinate, and there are not many watermelons, and the randomness is also large, so it is difficult to master.

"What then?" said Gardenia, distressed.

"I'll teach you. ”

Yuan Jia smiled, squatted down, picked a male flower, pinched off the excess petals, leaving only the flower head, and then gently rubbed against the female flower......

Rubbing and rubbing, the pollen successfully fell on it.

"Come on, Gardenia, let's pollinate the watermelon together. Yuan Jia warmly invited.

Unlike the cheeky Yuan Jia, Xu Nanyu is now blushing like a tomato.

How can a girl do such a thing!!

"I!"

Xu watermelon covered his face and ran away.
