In early summer, the weather is already a bit muggy. Even if he was walking in the forest, the shade of the trees blocked the scorching sunlight overhead, bringing a little coolness, but the entire base was too large, and Cheng Qiao didn't feel relaxed at all when he walked around behind Boss Hu.

Fortunately, she was going to drive today, so she chose flat shoes, Rao is so, and at this time, she also felt that her calves trembled slightly, and the soles of her feet ached faintly.

Entering the office building of the seedling company, Boss Hu sat at the desk and smiled and pinched the calculator and crackled the accounts. I couldn't stop my mouth without stopping, and praised vigorously: "It's not easy for a girl to follow my old Hu for a girl to go so far, and it's not much better than those male customers in our company!" sighed again, "There are so few girls like you who are not squeamish now!"

Cheng Qiao sat on the sofa next to him and panted softly, his fair cheeks were a little red, and beads of sweat continued to drip down his forehead. Boss Hu's words made her cry and laugh a little, and she really felt very hot, so she had to blow at the electric fan, and took out a tissue from her backpack to wipe the sweat on her forehead.

After drinking a small half bottle of mineral water, she was relieved, and Boss Hu had already finished the calculation and handed her the price list. Cheng Qiao took it and took a closer look, and found that the price offered by Boss Hu was quite fair, and the entire cost was within her budget.

After checking it carefully again, and no problem was found, Cheng Qiao planned to pay directly, and said to Boss Hu: "I have no problem with this price." You will tell me your bank account number, and you can transfer money from your mobile phone now. ”

Boss Hu was obviously surprised by her quick move: "Miss Cheng, don't you have to look at it anymore?"

"No need, since you are the person introduced by our squad leader Qiu Peng, I can naturally trust it. Cheng Qiao said.

Boss Hu said: "I can't imagine that you are such a free and straightforward girl!" while reporting a bank account.

Cheng Qiao took out his mobile phone and operated it directly, and after a while, Boss Hu received a short message reminder that the money had arrived. After making another business, Boss Hu said to her as soon as he was happy: "Today, our company will deliver it to you for free." He also gave her a large bag of mint and rosemary seeds.

The nursery's caretakers wrapped the roots of the saplings she had selected one by one, and then carefully moved them to the back of the truck one by one to place the reads.

Cheng Qiao stood aside, looking at the saplings lying in the carriage, and somehow remembered the sick cherry trees left in the corner. I silently read in my heart: Although those cherry trees have an incurable disease, they are not completely incurable. Maybe her family's spiritual spring can be cured...... Besides, it's not without precedent, at least the spiritual spring water has revived her grandfather's pot of Junzi Orchid, which is on the verge of death.

The more Cheng Qiao thought about it, the more he felt reasonable, and he was worried about the cherry trees, so he took the initiative to find Boss Hu and asked, "If I want to buy those sick cherry trees, how much will it cost?"

Boss Hu didn't expect her to suddenly ask this kind of question, so he was stunned for a moment, and then directly refused. "Those trees are no longer saved, how can they be taken out and sold? Isn't it ruining the reputation of our company, if Miss Cheng really wants to buy them, we can choose healthy cherry saplings for you!"

Cheng Qiao couldn't tell the other party the true purpose, so he had to make up a reason casually: "Boss Hu, I know that those trees have root cancer, but the trees may not survive, but there is always a part of the trunk that is good, right? Anyway, it's useless for you to pile it up in the woods, and it still takes up space, so it's better to sell it to me cheaper. ”

Boss Hu felt that there was some truth in her, and stared at her face for a long time to make sure that she was not impulsive and confused, and then said: "How can you collect money! If you like it, go pick a few and bring it back." ”

Cheng Qiao hurriedly thanked Boss Hu, and then went to the cherry grove with the workers to pick five cherry trees with fewer root tumors.

At noon, a large truck dragged a cart full of saplings back to Chengjia Village.

Old man Cheng got the news of Cheng Qiao in advance, and asked his eldest son, his wife, and Cheng Yuan's sister to go to the backyard of the old house to plant trees. felt that the Cheng family's manpower was still not enough, and the first thing the old man thought of was the young man who robbed him of the grand prize TV, and regardless of his age, he rushed to the next door with his legs and feet, and brought the young man over to help. The commotion was too big, which naturally alarmed the neighbors, and the neighbors who came to see the excitement were also unceremoniously called by the old man to the old house to be free laborers.

When it comes to planting trees, Cheng Qiao is a layman, but it is not a difficult thing for the villagers of Chengjia Village, especially Mr. Cheng, who is a big expert. When he was young, he planted trees a lot, and he was very experienced, so he became the commander-in-chief at this time.

When it was first renovated, Cheng Qiao planned the backyard into four areas of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and now only the saplings of the four seasons can be seated.

Cheng Qiao's uncle was sent by Mr. Cheng to dig a pit, and the shovel kept moving in the ground, and after a while, he dug a tree pit 50 centimeters deep. He put down the iron catalpa in his hand, and together with his wife Zhao Chunjuan, he picked up the sapling and put it into the pit.

Zhao Chunjuan stretched out her hand to straighten the sapling, and Cheng Qiao's uncle picked up the iron catalpa and filled in the loess next to it. When he had finished filling part of it, he jumped straight into the pit and stomped the floating earth with his two feet. Zhao Chunjuan was not idle, and reached out to lift the crown of the tree to ensure that the sapling was straight and not tilted, and only then did Cheng Qiao's uncle fill in the remaining soil.

Old man Cheng instructed his two granddaughters to carry water.

Cheng Qiao found two plastic buckets, and she and Cheng Yuan carried one each, and they didn't go to pick up the tap water, but directly fetched water from the puddle in the backyard. poured the spiritual spring water on the filled soil, and when the water was full and penetrated into the soil, Cheng Qiao found that the uncle had filled it with a thin layer of soil.

"Grandpa, why do you have to fill in the soil after watering?"

"It's for the temperature. "Old man Cheng solves the doubts of his eldest granddaughter.

In the end, there are many people and great power, and it took less than an afternoon for Cheng Qiao to plant all the saplings. Even the mint and rosemary seeds given by Boss Hu were sprinkled in the flower bed and poured with spiritual spring water waiting for germination and growth.

Looking at the backyard that was no longer empty, Cheng Qiao smiled with satisfaction.

In the end, only the five cherry saplings scattered and piled up have not been processed.

Old man Cheng circled around the cherry tree, looked around and frowned and asked his eldest granddaughter: "Qiaoqiao, don't you be deceived! This tree is sick at first sight, and I am afraid that it will not survive." ”

Cheng Qiao laughed: "Grandpa, don't worry." I asked the boss of the seedling company for these trees, free of charge, no money. ”

The old man was relieved, stroked his beard, and asked, "What kind of tree is this?"

"As for imported cherry trees, the price is too expensive. People also got sick when they were about to bear fruit after a few years. The boss said that we may not be very suitable for its growth here, so we can't survive...... "Cheng Qiao said, "I'm also a dead horse as a live horse doctor, let's see if I can save it!"

The old man didn't ask any more questions, and left with everyone, leaving Cheng Qiao alone in the backyard.

She squatted down, picked up a knife and cut off all the gray-white tumors on the roots of the tree, along with the roots that had grown, and went to pick up a bucket of spiritual spring water, and took a scoop and poured it on the remaining roots. In particular, the truncated parts should be cleaned, smeared with lime, and wrapped in white plastic film.

After the operation of the five trees was completed in turn, Cheng Qiao found that his waist could barely straighten up. His legs were numb, his back ached, and he walked slowly around the wall to recover. Looking at the five cherry trees leaning against the wall, he silently said in his heart: I have done my best. It's up to you whether you can survive or not.

In order to thank the neighbors for their enthusiastic help, the Cheng family set up a banquet in the courtyard at night to invite the villagers to eat, and the flowing water banquet ate and drank until late at night. Cheng Qiao returned to the room and found that there were more than a dozen missed calls on his mobile phone, all of which were from Qiu Peng.

Thinking that buying seedlings today can be so smooth thanks to his relationship, Cheng Qiao is still very grateful to him in his heart, and after thinking about it, he dialed back, thinking that no one would answer in the dead of night, but he didn't expect the phone to be through with a beep.

The other party's voice was obviously very excited: "Cheng Qiao, you finally answered the phone!"

Cheng Qiao was a little surprised and explained: "I'm sorry, I didn't hear the commotion at home for a while. You haven't rested so late, have you?"

"Won't I call you, where can I sleep? Have you gone to the nursery base today?" Qiu Peng asked in a casual tone.

Cheng Qiao laughed: "Yes, thanks to your introduction, the saplings were planted today." ”

"You're so fast. My uncle also praised you, saying that you are a good girl, generous and straightforward, and not squeamish at all. Qiu Peng said.

It's okay not to say this, but as soon as he said it, Cheng Qiao couldn't cry or laugh, and pretended to be unhappy and said: "Squad leader, are you praising me or hurting me! As for turning around and saying that I am a female man as strong as a man?"

"How can you be such a beautiful man...... If there is, I will definitely marry home!" Qiu Peng's heart skipped a beat, and he said as if it were true or false.

Cheng Qiao didn't think much about it, just thought he was joking. "Squad leader, are you busy calling me so much just to make fun of me?"

Qiu Peng was a little disappointed, but fortunately, there was no video on the mobile phone call, and the other party couldn't see his expression, so he had to say calmly: "I forgot if you didn't mention it." That's it...... There's a class reunion this month, do you want to come to it?"

Cheng Qiao was stunned for a moment, when Qiu Peng asked her for her phone number yesterday, he said that there might be a party in the future, and he thought he was just casually talking, but he didn't expect to organize a class reunion so soon, and the efficiency was too high.

Qiu Peng saw that she was silent for a long time, thinking that she was unhappy, and hurriedly said, "Our head teacher, Teacher Yang, is also here." ”

When Cheng Qiao was in high school, the head teacher at that time, Mr. Yang, was particularly concerned about her, knowing that her father was busy with work as a county magistrate, and her mother was far away, so she had been taking care of her in private and opening a small stove for her.

Qiu Peng moved Teacher Yang out at this time, and she was really embarrassed to refuse: "Okay." I'll go. ”

"Great. Qiu Peng's voice was full of excitement, probably feeling a little out of shape, and he coughed twice before saying, "Then I'll inform you when the specific time and place are set." ”

Cheng Qiao hung up the phone, and the whole person fell on the bed, and even obediently leaned over and rubbed her coquettishly. After running around all morning and working all afternoon, my body was extremely tired at this time, and I fell asleep after closing my eyes for a while.

Another dreamless night.

Thinking about those cherry trees in his heart, Cheng Qiao, who was rejuvenated, took the opportunity to take a good walk in the morning and went into the backyard of the old house again. Running straight to the corner of the cherry tree, I untied the plastic film wrapped under the roots of the tree and looked closely, and the section of the severed roots had healed naturally, and a brown girl the size of a fingernail had grown.

Is this a temporary life? Cheng Qiao didn't dare to conclude, after all, Junzilan was so big, and it was not the same thing as a cherry tree. The other four trees were unraveled in turn, and it was found that the situation was similar to that of the first tree. There was no abnormality, Cheng Qiao went to pick up a bucket of water again, cleaned the root section again and wrapped it again. She decided to wait and see before making a conclusion.

In the afternoon, Qiu Peng called again to tell her the time and place of the class reunion.

Cheng Qiao checked the calendar and found that it was just three days later.

She said in her heart, anyway, she has been fine lately, she is quite idle, just go!

"June" is the largest and best restaurant in their county, located in the transportation hub of the provincial capital and the county road, occupying the right time and place, and the business is booming.

At that time, there were a total of 40 students in their class, and because they studied liberal arts, there were more girls than boys. The thirty-three students were all girls, only seven boys, and were nicknamed the "Seven Monsters of Jiangnan".

There were four large round tables in the large private room on the third floor, just enough for a class reunion of their class.

When Cheng Qiao drove Xiaobai into the private room, he found that many classmates had already taken a seat. In the past eight or nine years, personal circumstances have been different. Some people have successful careers, some people have happy families, and the years have made no one happen a lot, and many classmates Cheng Qiao looks familiar, but they can't recognize it.

"School flower, this way. Sitting at the innermost, a chubby woman with short, ear-length hair beckoned straight to her.

Cheng Qiao squinted and looked at it for a long time before she recognized that this was her high school tablemate.

"Lin Rui?" Cheng Qiao asked with some uncertainty as he walked over and stood in front of her.

"Hey, you don't recognize the table?" the woman winked at her, and the flesh on her face trembled.

Cheng Qiao pinched her fleshy face, full of collagen, and said calmly: "I really didn't recognize it, you have changed too much;." As he spoke, he pulled out a chair and sat down next to Lin Rui. Lin Rui's body was covered by the table just now, and at this time, Cheng Qiao found that she had a big belly, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise: "You ......"

"It's been seven months. Lin Rui nodded at her, her face full of happiness.

"You didn't sue me. Cheng Qiao bit his lip and blamed dissatisfiedly, the two of them were good enough to wear a pair of pants. Lin Rui was later admitted to the Chinese Department of the University of the provincial capital, and after graduation, she stayed in a public school in the provincial capital as a junior Chinese teacher, and when she got married a few years ago, she also invited Cheng Qiao to attend the wedding, and she hadn't seen her for a few years. "Do you still think I'm at the same table?"

"Blame me!" Lin Rui glanced at her with a grin.

Cheng Qiao was more interested in her belly, reached out and touched it gently, and put her ear to Lin Rui's belly to speak, "Baby, tell your godmother, are you a princess or a prince?"

"Go!" Lin Rui straightened her round belly and turned her head, "I didn't say that you would be my baby......'s godmother!"

"Okay! When the baby shows up, I will definitely give him a big red envelope!" Cheng Qiao promised.

The two were chatting happily, and other classmates also came one after another. In the end, Qiu Pengshen walked in with Teacher Yang, and several classmates took the initiative to greet him, but they were all perfunctory with a few words from him. His eyes swept around the private room, and only when he saw Cheng Qiao, who was sitting in the corner, with a smile on his face, lit up.

"Teacher Yang, you like to be quiet, why don't you sit over there. It just so happened that Cheng Qiao and the others were also over there. Qiu Peng said to the former head teacher.

"Cheng Qiao is here, where is it?" asked Mr. Yang, pushing the glasses on the bridge of his nose.

"Over there, I'll help you over. ”

"Good. ”

The two people at the same table who were laughing saw the head teacher with white hair and a strict face, and they immediately stopped as if a mouse had seen a cat, stood up and shouted in unison: "Hello Teacher Yang." ”

"Hello students. Teacher Yang waved his hand and said, and said to Cheng Qiao: "You haven't changed at all." No, no...... Become a big girl, more beautiful. ”

Cheng Qiao was a little uncomfortable by her: "Teacher Yang, look at what you said, ......" got up and pulled the chair from the upper seat and said, "You come and sit here." ”

When she sat down, Lin Rui leaned her head over and asked, "Teacher Yang, do you remember me?"

Teacher Yang squinted and stared at her face for a long time before replying, "You are Lin Rui, you have gained a lot of weight." ”

Cheng Qiao hurriedly said for her: "Lin Rui is pregnant, and she is now seven months old. ”

"Really, I'm going to be a mother. I think about the past, you ......" mentioned the past, and Mr. Yang looked nostalgic.

While reminiscing about the green years, there was a commotion at the door.

A well-dressed and fashionably dressed woman walked into the private room. With straight black and white hair, wearing a rose-red Qi Xiao short skirt, revealing two white and slender long legs, almost stealing the attention of all the men present, and also gaining the hostility of many women.

The woman stepped on eleven-centimeter pointed-toe high heels, shook her long black and bright hair, walked straight to Cheng Qiao's table and sat down, opened her sexy red lips and said, "Yo, Cheng Qiao is here too." ”

Cheng Qiao felt that the woman in front of her was a little familiar, and she couldn't remember her name for a while, so she looked at Lin Rui, and Lin Rui also shook her head at her, indicating that she didn't know reads;

The woman didn't care, and turned to Teacher Yang and said, "Hey, Teacher Yang, you don't know me? ”

"Are you a white rose?" Teacher Yang pushed his glasses, asked in surprise, stared at her face for a long time, took off his glasses, took a tissue from the table, wiped the lenses and put them back on, and then leaned his face to White Rose, and unexpectedly raised his voice: "You said you are a white rose? But she's a round face, with single eyelids, and not as pretty as you. Your chin is sharp and long, and your eyelids are so deep, where do you look like a white rose?"

After being told this by the former high school homeroom teacher, Bai Rose only felt embarrassed for a while.

Cheng Qiao quietly lowered his head, and Lin Rui covered his mouth and snickered.

The two secretly communicated under the table: "This plastic surgery is so bad that the teacher can't recognize it!"

"Not to mention, this look is quite simple and sexy, and it is popular nowadays. ”

Bai Rose's self-healing ability is very strong, and she doesn't care about the rumors behind others, she stretched out her Qianqianyu finger and touched her face, and said coquettishly: "Look at what you said." When I was in high school, I focused on studying, and I didn't exercise much and grew fat, so my face was round, and now I'm thin, and my chin is naturally sharp. ”

"It's a baby again!" Cheng Qiao and Lin Rui muttered in unison, of course, they spoke in a small voice, Bai Rose naturally didn't hear it, and showed it in front of the former head teacher, "Teacher Yang, I'm an actor now, I'm a contracted artist of X Art Media, and I've filmed a lot of dramas, have you seen the popular "Lan Fei Allure" some time ago?"

Someone had a sharp ear, and when he heard Bai Rose's words, he asked casually: "Is it a palace fight drama starring actress Yu Bingbing and Qin Miaomiao?"

Bai Rose showed a shallow smile: "That's right, the palace maid next to Qin Miaomiao that I played in it can be regarded as a female supporting role!"

Lin Rui snorted disdainfully under the table, and said to Cheng Qiao: "I will put gold on my face!" Qin Miaomiao is just a female supporting actress, how important can the role that is almost used as a background board when she appears next to her a few times, I'm afraid she is just a passerby!"

"You still watch this kind of drama that you know is a Mary Sue as soon as you hear the name?" Cheng Qiao glanced at her with disdain.

"I'm not pregnant, I'm resting at home, so I watched a few episodes to kill the boredom ......," Lin Rui laughed dryly and explained.

There were many students present who had never watched this drama, and when they heard Bai Rose say this, they felt that everyone who could film and appear on TV was so tall, so they gathered around her and asked her for autographs.

Bai Rose looked proud, and boasted: "I went back to the provincial capital this time to take over the second part of "Concubine Lan", and the crew is going to shoot here." ”

"Really, Rose, can you take us to ......see it when you're filming?"

"Yes, is Yu Bingbing coming too, can you help me get her autograph? ”

The praise of her classmates greatly satisfied Bai Rose's vanity, but when it came to other stars, she was unhappy again, pulled her face and sneered: "Can you see the actress casually?"

As soon as these words came out, the classmates who had been surrounding her immediately dispersed.

The atmosphere in the private room was strange and dull for a while, and Qiu Peng, who was the organizer and class leader, took on the task of easing the atmosphere by setting an example, stood up and said, "Since the students are all here, I'll go and let the waiter serve the food." ”
