Chapter 20: Cosmos
"Longevity flowers?" Uncle Chen frowned, there are still a few flowers in the flower garden, but the flowering period has passed, so such customers want to Luo Tong saw what Uncle Chen meant, and told Huang Yiming's situation, and Uncle Chen could only sigh.
Uncle Chen has been taking care of this flower garden for several years, his son and daughter-in-law are all working in other places, they are not at home all the year round, and the old people do not want to make a lot of money.
In the past few years, Uncle Chen has been familiar with the flowers and plants in the flower garden, and it is clear where to plant what is there. Hearing that Luo Tong wanted longevity flowers, he took Luo Tong to the greenhouse.
Longevity flowers belong to the family Sedum, a plant of the genus Cabbage, native to southern Europe. Succulents, low clusters of large, shiny leaves, green all year round, planted in the open field in spring, summer and autumn as edging material, from December to April of the following year, produce bright and dazzling flowers, each branch can have up to dozens of flowers. The flowering period lasts for more than 4 months, hence the name of the longevity flower.
The stems of longevity flowers are erect and the height of the plant is 10-30 cm. The leaves are alternately opposite, ovate, 4-8 cm long, 2-6 cm wide, fleshy, with wavy blunt teeth on the upper margins of the leaves, the whole margins of the lower parts, bright green, shiny, with reddish margins. Panicles are straight, 7-10 cm long. Each plant has 5-7 inflorescences with 60-250 flowers. The flowers are small, saucer-shaped, 1.2-1.6 cm in diameter, 4 petals, pink, crimson or orange-red.
Luo Tong was worried that Sheng Qiwu would be bored, so he introduced the crops in the flower garden to Sheng Qiwu along the way, and soon arrived at the greenhouse where the longevity flowers were. Sheng Qiwu felt that his eyes were almost insufficient, the flower garden was not big, but there were many kinds of flowers and plants, and there were brilliant cosmos and elegant drunken butterflies in the flowering season.
Sheng Qiwu wanted to help, but was directly rejected by Uncle Chen and Luo Tong, Sheng Qiwu is a guest, how can he let the guest do this? After Uncle Chen planted the longevity flowers into the flower pot, Luo Tong walked to Sheng Qiwu's side, and saw Sheng Qiwu looking at cosmos, and couldn't help but smile: "Do you like it, if you like it, I will give you a pot, and I should repay you for sending me over." ”
Sheng Qiwu shook his head and asked: "It's beautiful, but you gave me a lot, and I'm not very good at raising flowers, so I'm worried that I'll raise them to death." I don't think I see these two flowers in the store?"
Luo Tong nodded, "The cosmos hasn't bloomed two days ago, so I didn't bring it to the green field, since it has bloomed, then I'll come over tomorrow afternoon to put it in the pot." She didn't want to trouble Sheng Qiwu anymore, after all, he had already sent her to the flower garden, and she couldn't get an inch anymore.
Sheng Qiwu is a good person, and he guessed that Luo Tong might not want to trouble him too much, so he felt a little helpless. He didn't like Luo Tong to be so polite to him, but now he didn't dare to tell Luo Tong so directly, for fear that he would scare her away.
"It's okay, the trunk of my car is not small, and I can put several pots of flowers. It just so happens that we came here today, and the cosmos and drunken butterfly flowers are blooming, so we can just bring a few pots back, and you will have to run again tomorrow. Sheng Qiwu said warmly.
After a few contacts, Luo Tong had vaguely felt the strong personality hidden under Sheng Qi Wu Siwen's appearance, but Luo Tong was still unwilling to trouble others so much.
"Brother Sheng, it's okay for me to come over tomorrow and do it myself, you've already helped me a lot today, I can't trouble you anymore. Luo Tong still wanted to struggle again.
"It's okay, if you don't want to go, just help me take care of my flowers and plants when the time comes. Sheng Qiwu raised his eyebrows and smiled, Luo Tong looked at Sheng Qiwu's smile and suddenly blushed. Forget it, if he likes to help, he can help, the free helper doesn't need to be in vain, Luo Tong is arrogant.
Seeing Luo Tong's red face, Sheng Qiwu's hands itched and wanted to touch it, but reason forcibly stopped his action. In order to hide his impulsiveness, he turned his head sideways, cleared his throat, rolled up the cuffs of his shirt, and walked over to Uncle Chen.
When Uncle Chen heard the words of the two, he had already moved a few flower pots over and was ready to put up the flowers and pots. Luo Tong, who stayed in place, hurriedly followed, ready to do it together, but was stopped by Sheng Qiwu.
"Just these few pots of flowers, it's okay for a while, you can help me see if I want to water this pot, and leave things like flowers to me." Sheng Qiwu naturally wouldn't let the girl he liked do such physical work, although he knew that Luo Tong was not as weak as he appeared.
Luo Tong, who was robbed, could only follow behind and watered the cosmos and drunken butterfly flowers that had already risen. Soon, in less than half an hour, all seven or eight pots of flowers were potted.
Luo Tong didn't wait for Sheng Qiwu to say this time, he directly held two pots of cosmos and put them in the trunk, Sheng Qiwu shook his head, what a stubborn girl, fortunately, this flower is not heavy, otherwise he would have to stop him.
People are old and fine, Uncle Chen looked at the interaction between Sheng Qiwu and Luo Tong, smiling, the interaction between this little couple is still very interesting, at present, it seems that Luo Tong, this girl has not yet opened up, this young man still has to grind.
The old man didn't go to join in the fun, watching Sheng Qiwu and Luo Tong put up the flowers, Luo Tong called back Luo Xiaotang, who went out to play crazy with the black back, politely refused Uncle Chen's invitation to have dinner together, and went back with Sheng Qiwu.
Luo Xiaocheng reluctantly said goodbye to the black back, and returned to the car a little embarrassed. Luo Tong couldn't cry or laugh, and stroked it, "Okay, let's come back in a few days, and we can play together again then." ”
I don't know how Luo Xiaocheng could be so close to the black back, obviously it was incompatible at the beginning, but now it has developed to the point of reluctance, and it is difficult to give up.
Luo Xiaotang, who heard Luo Tong's comfort, lazily gave the shovel officer a look, turned over on Luo Tong's leg, and turned his snow-white belly upward, signaling to touch it. Luo Tong couldn't hold back, his hand beckoned, and Luo Xiaotang, who was masturbating, squinted his eyes comfortably, and hummed.
Sheng Qiwu looked a little envious, when would Luo Tong touch him like this? This thought just flashed in his mind, Sheng Qiwu couldn't help but sneer, people are not as good as cats.
According to the address given by Huang Yiming, Sheng Qiwu and Luo Tong sent the longevity flowers over, and naturally received various thanks from Huang Yiming during the period.
This pot of flowers Huang Yiming gave 1000, Luo Tong felt that it was too much, and he didn't want to collect so much. was beaten back by Huang Yiming with a lot of money that was difficult to buy, with this pot of flowers, the old man will not be angry when he comes back, as long as the old man is not angry, let alone 1,000, he is willing to give up 10,000.
Bidding farewell to Huang Yiming, the two came to Green Field and moved cosmos and drunken butterflies to the flower shop. After everything was packed, it was already past nine o'clock. Luo Tong proposed to go to dinner, but there was nothing to eat at this point, Sheng Qiwu suggested that the two of them go back and have a little to eat, so the two went home.
