Chapter 421: The Little Girl Who Planted Flowers (4/4, for the reward that understands me and doesn't deserve it)
The idea of planting flowers was came up with by Murphy.
After being idle at home for the past few days, Murphy found that the flower garden outside the coffee shop had been devastated by a winter, and the flowers inside were scattered, without the scene of their original bloom, and even weeds were growing in many places.
So, Murphy suggested that the family use this weekend to take care of the flower garden.
Yang Yi is as good as a stream, and he is also happy to organize such an activity of working together as a family, so early this morning, Xixi, who was going to participate in labor together, was armed by his father.
The little girl was wearing long water shoes, denim suspenders, a towel of the same style as an old worker tied around her neck, and a sunhat on her head.
But she also found it funny, and she giggled all morning.
Before planting flowers, we have to remove weeds and loosen the soil, and Yang Yi took care of this work, and Murphy helped dig out the flowers that were still alive, and put them aside with the soil.
Of course, Xixi still divided a small task field, which was full of weeds. The little girl was very excited, she was not tired at all, and she swung her little hoe with all her might, and plowed the land like a dog's pick.
When Xixi came on the field, Yang Yi naturally didn't dare to relax, he was on the side, staring cautiously, afraid that the little girl would hit her feet with a hoe. Although it is a children's hoe, the handle made of hard plastic, the hoe blade made of wood, and the hoe blade are all blunt, but this also has weight, and it is terrible to hit the head and feet!
The little girl had a great time, and she was so happy that she turned the little piece of land upside down.
"Okay, okay, that's almost!" Yang Yi grabbed his daughter with tears and laughter.
"Dad, I'll play for a while, okay? Can I help you?" the little girl said expectantly, pointing to the plot that Dad hadn't finished yet.
"That's not good, you can't use this hoe too much, and in a while, it's going to break, don't you still want to keep it as a souvenir?" Yang Yi said with a smile.
Xi Xi looked at the hoe with cartoon stickers in her hand, and then looked at the field on her father's side, hesitated for a moment, but she still chose to cherish it: "Okay then!"
"Xixi, come here, help Ma Ma to hold this flower well, Ma Ma wants to change the soil for it. Murphy helped, and she gave Xi Xi another small task.
Seeing that Yang Yi was working, Ding Xiang and Yang Huan wanted to come out to help, but they were rejected by Yang Yi.
With such a small flower garden, there is no need to mobilize the public, and Yang Yi also plans to treat this as a family activity, so that Xixi can experience the fun of working.
Yang Yi used a nail rake to loosen the soil of the hoeed flower beds, and by the way, sorted out the stones and grass mixed in the soil.
After Yang Yi finished figuring it out, he turned his head to see that Xi Xi was engrossed in helping his mother hold the flower stems, and Murphy was cleaning up the peripheral soil from the flowers dug up from the flower garden, leaving only the moist soil at the roots.
The little girl squatting on the ground was very serious, there was no smile on her little face, and her little mouth was slightly open, as if she had forgotten to close it.
Murphy also has no image at all, she kneels on one knee on the dirt, tilts her head and uses a small broom to sort out the miscellaneous soil around the flower roots, and if her hair is not coiled, it is estimated that it will fall to the ground!
Maybe he didn't pay attention to wiping his sweat just now, and Murphy's face was also a little muddy, and he looked like the big star on the stage who was gorgeously dressed and radiant.
The current Murphy, like Xixi, is like a beautiful village girl!
But in Yang Yi's eyes, their image is also extremely beautiful, very real, and pitiful.
Finally, Murphy finished dealing with it, only to see her clapping her hands, raising her head with a smile and saying, "Let you wait for a long time, next, let's plant flowers!"
Yang Yi came back to his senses at this time, he walked over, took off the towel around his neck, wiped the dirt on Murphy's face, and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work!"
"Where is the hardship? I'm so happy!" Yang Yi showed a wave of affection to Murphy outdoors and in front of his daughter, Murphy felt happy in his heart, but he was still a little embarrassed, and whispered.
"Baba, you don't say I'm hard, you see, I'm so dirty!" Xixi felt that her hands were dirty, but she didn't know where to wipe them, she also loved to be clean, and she was reluctant to wipe her denim suspenders, and now when she saw her father, she patronized her mother and wiped her face, ignoring herself, so she pouted unhappily and said.
Yang Yi smiled dumbly, he walked over with a towel, and said lovingly: "Okay, Dad will wipe it for you now, you have worked hard!"
When planting flowers, Yang Yi and they don't need to catch up with the schedule, they can take their time, so there is no one who is responsible for which piece of land like just now, but according to the difficulty of the work, the process of planting flowers is arranged.
Yang Yi is responsible for digging holes and filling the soil behind, and Murphy is responsible for holding the flowers and planting them in it, of course, the flowers here, in addition to the original flower plants, there are also artificially cultivated flower seedlings that Yang Yi bought in the flower and bird market yesterday, how to lay out, Murphy has his own ideas.
As for Xixi, she is responsible for leveling the soil filled by her father and then pouring water.
I saw the little girl carrying her little shower and running around happily. After Mom and Dad planted the flowers, she used her cute water boots to level the soil next to the flowers, then took two steps back and carefully watered the shower, as if she was worried that the water would be spilled on her pretty little water boots.
The small shower is not big enough, after all, it is for children, and after watering once, you have to fill the bucket next to it. It's still a little cool, and the water in the bucket is frozen. Xixi was frozen once in the morning, and the little girl who wanted to wash her hands was so cold that she grinned. Therefore, every time Xixi fills water, she must be careful and try to avoid direct contact with the water in the bucket.
But accidents are always inevitable.
"Wow!" Xi Xi grabbed the shower and didn't pay attention, and raised it up a little, but a stream of water flowed down, through the handle of the shower, and flowed onto the little girl's hand, which caused Xi Xi to exclaim.
"What's wrong?" Murphy looked worriedly.
But the little girl giggled, and she came over with the shower, and told her mother that it was a fun thing: "Mama, let me tell you, oh, the water is falling, I thought it was going to be cold, but it was not so cold, I was startled." ”
It turned out that after the sun rose, the water in the bucket was not so frozen, and after the plastic shower, the temperature was obviously not as low as before, Xixi frightened herself.
After Murphy figured it out, she also laughed, and she rolled up Xixi's wet sleeves as she said, "You didn't scare yourself, but you scared Ma Ma." ”
In the midst of such laughter and laughter, the family was busy all morning and finally renovated the flower garden.
However, I can't see the effect yet, because except for a small area with old flowers, there are flowers in full bloom, and the petals are a little sluggish because of the movement, and the flowers in other areas are still in a seedling state, and it is estimated that it will take several weeks before they bloom.
But looking at the neat flower garden, not only Murphy was very happy, but Yang Yi also felt a lot more comfortable - or the number of flower seedlings he bought was correct, just enough to plant even rows, even columns, although the flower beds are not square, but this neat arrangement, it is very comfortable to see!
Back at the coffee shop, Yang Yi was about to take Murphy and Xixi to the bathroom in the back to wash their shoes and hands before going upstairs, but when he saw Guo Ziyi, who was hiding from the limelight and still staying in the coffee shop, he became vigilant.
