Chapter 60: Your World Is Beautiful, Too
On a bright spring day in March, two small black and white swallows were clutching in the soft mud by the Taihu Lake, flapping their wings and flying towards a Chinese-style villa in the Golf Villa.
The industrious little swallows were building their nests out of the earth, and below the swallows flew by, a beautiful girl in shorts and a T-shirt saw them, and her eyes followed the little swallows to the window eaves of her room.
"Mom, look! the swallow has built a nest in my window!"
"It's really ...... yes"
"Where did they go to pick up the dirt they brought back? ”
"Probably the Taihu Lake next door. ”
Bai Yan looked at Xiaoyanzi, her eyes fell back to the daughter in front of her, she also squatted down and asked, "Gardenia, do you want me to help?"
"No, I can. ”
By the flower bed in the courtyard, Xu Nanyu sat on a small bench, holding a small shovel in her right hand to dig in the flower bed, and there was a small white paper bag next to her, which contained watermelon seeds.
In order to allow Yuanjia to eat the watermelon she planted in the summer, Xu Nanyu was full of energy.
Today's challenge was also a successful one, and the thought of planting watermelons in the flower bed made Gardenia rush forward with her eyes closed.
When her mood gradually stabilized, she began to dig and work.
Hearing that her daughter was going to plant flowers, Bai Yan asked the gardener to empty this small flower bed, which was not large, a little more than two square meters, but she didn't expect Gardenia to plant watermelons.
The soil in the flower bed is very fertile, the kind of fertile soil with black, Xu Nanyu took a small shovel to turn the soil up little by little, and the first step in planting watermelons is to loosen the soil.
The afternoon sun was a little strong, and a few playful beads of sweat appeared on Gardenia's forehead.
It's just that she worked hard and didn't wipe her sweat, and the beads of sweat slid down her little face to her chin, and then dripped into the soil below.
After finally turning over the soil, Gardenia didn't feel tired, but liked the land more.
She sat on the small bench and looked up cautiously around her, and when the breeze blew, she felt a burst of coolness and comfort.
"Mom, how do you use this fertilizer? Is it planted with watermelon seeds?"
"Well, just sprinkle it on the soil, if it's too fat, it will burn the seedlings. ”
Xu Nanyu took apart the fertilizer, it was a blue-white fertilizer, she was afraid that it would be uneven, so she twisted out the fertilizer particles little by little, and discharged them neatly on the two square meters of soil.
"Do you want to bury it in it?"
"No, it will melt. ”
Gardenia began to grow watermelons.
Xu Nanyu has never done farm work, nor has he seen others do farm work, and he grows watermelons very solemnly.
She roughly looked at the size of the land, and if there were ten seeds, she would plant two rows, five in each row, and each one about 30 centimeters apart......
Gardenia took a small shovel and dug a small hole, then put the watermelon seeds in it, and carefully straightened the seeds, and finally gently covered the soil.
One, two, three......
Finally finished planting with a sense of ritual, she wanted to water the seeds, and the shower pot was on the other side, outside her territory.
Gardenia hesitated, but cautiously passed, picked up the shower and quickly ran back, filled it with water, slowly tilted the body, and watered the watermelon seeds a little.
Finally finished this matter, Xu Nanyu felt that today was very fulfilling, and he didn't go back to the house immediately, but sat on the small bench and looked at the watermelon field for a while.
Her fair hands were also dirty, but Gardenia didn't mind, washed her hands and took out her phone to take a picture of her watermelon patch.
She has checked the knowledge of many kinds of watermelons, and if it goes well, she can grow watermelon seedlings in about five or six days, and watermelons are not delicate, and they can grow very well by themselves if they are often watered and catch insects.
Plant now, and by the time July comes, you'll probably have a harvest.
Xu Nanyu was looking forward to it, imagining that Yuanjia was holding a big watermelon and gnawing on it, and then praised her for planting it so well, and the watermelon was so sweet.
The girl will blush......
She really wanted to chat with Yuan Jia now and share her feelings with him, but Yuan Jia was still at work, and she was afraid of disturbing him, so she held back in her heart and waited for him to get off work.
After returning to the room, Xu Nanyu took out his sketchpad and began to draw.
A boy and a girl can be faintly seen on the paper, in a small wooden house, there are cicadas chirping in the trees outside the window, and the boy's hand is on the girl's waist, there is a taste of tenderness and sweetness......
This is Gardenia's dream last night, a particularly beautiful dream.
Yuan Jia asked her what she dreamed in the morning, how could she be embarrassed to tell him.
The two little swallows rested on the windowsill and looked curiously at the girl who was painting in the room, and she looked up and saw them.
So the two little swallows rubbed each other's necks, spread their wings and chased in the sky, showing her a wave of affection.
"Hmph. ”
Gardenia ignores the pair of bad neighbors who sprinkle dog food and continues to paint her own picture.
This painting lasted for three hours, and it wasn't until Yuan Jia sent her a message that Xu Nanyi happily sent him a photo of the watermelon field.
Gardenia: "Look!"
......
Yuanjia opened the photo sent by Gardenia and recorded in detail the process of growing watermelons.
With a smile on his lips, he looked at them one by one, although there was no her in the photo, and there were no watermelons, but he could see from the neatly arranged fertilizer particles on the soil, and Gardenia was doing this with special care.
Yuan Jia: "Your fertilizer is sprinkled so neatly. ”
Gardenia: "Won't it be enough?"
Yuan Jia: "That's enough, how many watermelons have you planted?"
Gardenia: "Ten!"
The two chatted, and Yuan Jia also packed his things and prepared to go home.
Gardenia told him about planting watermelons, and she also saw the swallows coming back to build a nest with the soil, and they were not afraid of her, and they were still showing affection on the windowsill......
Yuanjia responded to her words seriously, he knew that these things might seem trivial to others, but for Gardenia, these were the hopes of her new life.
Gardenia: "Yuanjia, do you think I can really grow watermelons......
Xu Nanyu is actually still a little unconfident, in the afternoon, she runs to the window from time to time to look at the watermelon field in the yard, knowing that the watermelon seedlings can't grow so quickly, but she just can't help but go and see.
She especially wanted Yuanjia to eat the sweet watermelon she grown.
Yuanjia: "Of course, I already feel sweet before I eat it." ”
Gardenia: "I'm going to make sure you get it." ”
Yuanjia had already left the office and was on the way home, the sunset at dusk was beautiful, and Gardenia had been away from the city for a long time, so Yuanjia took a picture to show her.
In the photo, the sunset is slightly slanting, and the soft light and the city are entwined, elongating the shadows of tall buildings, trees, cars and people.
Under the setting sun, a large field of fiery clouds hung in the sky, and the golden world was real and clear, and the interplay of light and shadow was the calm before nightfall.
Gardenia also went to the balcony to take a photo of the sunset for Yuanjia, although they are in the same city, the scenery in the photo is different.
In the photo of Gardenia, Yuan Jia saw the distant mountains at sunset and the sparkling golden Taihu Lake.
Gardenia: "Yuanjia, your world is so beautiful. ”
Yuanjia: "Your world is also beautiful. ”
As if knowing what Xu Nanyu was thinking, Yuan Jia continued: "The world in everyone's eyes is different, just like when the sea breeze blows on the face, some people feel very comfortable, and some people feel that the skin becomes sticky and annoying. ”
Gardenia likes Yuanjia's words very much, and she is often depressed and sad because her life is hopeless.
Gardenia: "And what kind of person do you want to be?"
Yuan Jia: "I hope that I can be more gentle today than I was yesterday, probably this is my wish." ”
Gardenia: "That's a good ......"
Yuan Jia: "People who have experienced a lot of pain decide to make others no longer feel as sad as themselves, and this kind of thoughtfulness is called gentleness. So, Gardenia, you're definitely gentler than anyone else. ”
Xu Nanyu looked at this sentence, this is probably the biggest affirmation of her by others in her life.
In just an instant, she felt a warm embrace all over her body......
It's like the sunset, and the world is dyed with beautiful colors.
