Chapter 32: The Fragrance of Flowers
An old man and a young man walked into the backyard, and the smell of flowers greeted them. The orchid nose of the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info is sour and wants to cry。。。。。。
In the past May, City A will be filled with such a strong and sweet fragrance every early summer. Walking around the streets and alleys, you can feel that the air is sweet. Just because, gardenias bloomed all over the city. Gardenias are like orchids, a special feeling.
When it comes to the season of gardenias. In the rainy city of A, in the streets and alleys, you can always see the old woman carrying a basket to sell gardenias. Gardenias and white orchids, dressed in wire or cotton thread, are neatly stacked in baskets, and a white cloth is placed on top of them, carrying the unique fragrance of midsummer......
Orchid's love for gardenias originated from her grandmother. When I was a child, I grew up at my grandmother's house, and after school, I would live at my grandmother's house every summer vacation.
Grandma's yard planted a large gardenia, in the memory of the orchid, it always has a faint fragrance, this unique fragrance throughout the orchid's childhood. When you see a gardenia, you can't help but think of your grandmother. The old lady who doesn't like to dress up, doesn't know how to dress up, but is always clean and neat. When the gardenia is in full bloom, one is always pinned to the collar, and sometimes two orchids are put in the pocket of the jacket with a thread. That sweet and fragrant taste has accompanied orchids for more than a dozen summers.
Grandma, are you okay now?
"Silly girl, what are you still doing in a daze, go pick it up." The third grandmother couldn't help but laugh when she saw the orchid staring at the gardenia in a daze, "You girl, you are a ghost for a while, and you are stupid for a while!" ”
"Hey! Three grandma, you are so good! Shall I pick it then? The orchid came back to her senses and jumped to pick the gardenia.
The gardenias of the third grandmother's house leaned against the courtyard wall, planted a circle, there were twenty or thirty of them, the branches were luxuriant, the flowers were big and full, each one was white and flawless, and the fragrance was fragrant. Orchid smelled this sweet aroma, and couldn't help but open her mouth to praise: "Third grandmother, your flower planting is really good!" Big and fragrant. ”
"It's not that your third grandmother is boasting, our entire mountain pass, only your third grandmother can grow this gardenia." The old lady became proud, "When your third grandfather was here, he knew that I liked gardenias, so he specially ran to the back mountain and moved over." As soon as this flower blooms, you can smell the fragrance before you get close. The people in the village saw that they were greedy and also went to the mountains to transplant them, but it was strange, this flower can only be planted in my house! ”
When it came to her wife, the old lady looked at her eyes and fell into a myth. The third grandfather has passed away for several years, and I haven't seen the orchid, but looking at the third grandmother like this, I guess that the third grandfather must also be a kind old man.
"For more than 30 years, this gardenia is fragrant, but it can't be rained, it rains every day, and the flowering period is short, but if the weather is good, it can bloom for more than two months." The third grandmother muttered a few words to herself, and then said to the orchid, "Girl, you pick more, your Uncle Yongqiang will go back to the town next morning to pick a stubble to sell, this flower blooms fast, and it is too late to sell." ”
"Are there a lot of gardenias in town?" A small sprout popped up in the heart of the orchid.
"Less, big families can't look down on it, it's all bought by small people, three pennies are not worth two pennies, where will there be many people selling." The third grandmother sat on the small stool, and then said a little triumphantly: "Besides, there are a few who can plant flowers so well!" ”
"Poof!" Orchid couldn't help it, this old lady was really funny, "Third grandma, how do you sell our flowers?" ”
"Listen to what your Uncle Yongqiang said, one article or two flowers. It's all your Uncle Yongqiang who pulled down the town and sold it. As he was talking, Li Yongqiang came back after chatting with the third uncle of Orchid, "Yongqiang, why are we selling gardenias?" ”
"Two flowers for a penny, what's wrong?" Li Yongqiang was still immersed in the shock of chatting with Li Yongfu: "Orchid, all those baskets and baskets made by your third uncle are all your ideas for him?" ”
Orchids are a little confused, is it good or bad? I'm thinking about what to say. I saw Li Yongqiang nodding to himself, "You ghost spirit spirit, I heard that you also came up with this burning tongs?" Your third uncle has praised you as a flower! When you grow up, you have to be filial to your third uncle. ”
"That's for sure," Orchid didn't dare to be careless, Uncle Yongqiang had been in the town for many years, but he didn't dare to hold it up in front of him, and asked cautiously, "Uncle Yongqiang, you said that my third uncle's craftsmanship is so good, isn't it a pity not to do business." ”
"Who's to say it isn't!" Li Yongqiang agreed, "A few years ago, I called him to go to the town with me, and how many times I shouted, he just didn't listen!" Always say that you will drag people down. Ay! I don't have to talk about him now. ”
Orchid tilted her head to look at Li Yongqiang, rationalizing her thoughts, it seems that the relationship between these two people is quite good, do you want to try?
"What do you think, little girl, do you have any good ideas, say it and let your Uncle Yongqiang see and understand, so that your third uncle will always blow it to me!" Li Yongqiang grinned and teased the orchid.
Orchid rolled her eyes silently, when I was only a teenager, but only shamefully cute: "Really! Uncle Yongqiang, I won't tell you that I have a good idea! I'm going back to tell my third uncle. ”
"Haha, you girl," the third grandmother was also happy, and patted Li Yongqiang with a gesture, "Don't tease the girl!" ”
Several people laughed together, the fragrance of the flowers became more and more intoxicating, and the orchid took a deep breath of fragrance: "Uncle Yongqiang, don't look down on my young age, my mother has always told me that people can't be short-minded when they're poor, and they can't be small-minded, right?" Seeing Li Yongqiang nodded, Orchid continued, "My third uncle is good to me, I remember it, my third uncle is a little bad in his legs and feet, what's this, which of our big mountain passes can have his good skills, as long as he can take out his skills and keep the money, who cares about his little defects, but he just can't get over this hurdle, and he always feels that he is dragging down his family." ”
"That's right!" Li Yongqiang couldn't help but say: "This kid just can't think about it, craftsmen rely on craftsmanship to eat, and there are more people with bad legs and feet, what is there to care about." Ay! ”
"Uncle Yongqiang, I have an idea I don't know if it can be done, but I have to ask for your help."
