Chapter 79: Pruning 'neat' potted plants

Ding Xiaoqian followed behind Old Man Xu, he insisted on walking by himself, refusing to let her support him, saying that he was not old enough to be at that time.

The two of them went out of the room, from the fourth floor to the second floor, and walked along the long corridor to the end, where a long row of floor-to-ceiling bay windows were placed in front of various potted plants, although Ding Xiaoqian didn't understand this, he could also see that these must be very precious. She remembered that there were a lot of things in Ding Yiliang's office as the president of the company, and every time she went, he was extra careful to tell her that she tossed the whole company casually, just not to toss his potted plants.

Old Man Xu picked up the tools and carefully pruned the potted plants, and said in his mouth: "Have you seen this pot of orchids?" I've been raising it for a few years, and when I first got it back, I was a little older, and I didn't look good, so I bought it back at a very cheap price. Look how beautiful it looks now! ”

Ding Xiaoqian can't see how beautiful he is, but it is certain that the very cheap price in Old Man Xu's mouth is definitely not cheap.

Old man Xu introduced several varieties of potted plants, and a maid at home came to find him with a mobile phone: "Master, your phone." ”

Old Man Xu took the phone, squinted his eyes and glanced at the name displayed on it, and said to Ding Xiaoqian: "I'll go to the study to answer the phone, you can help me prune those potted plants." Remember, you have to trim it neatly, I have a lot of care about these potted plants. ”

"Hey, Minister Liu, it's me......"

Old Man Xu's voice faded away and disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Ding Xiaoqian picked up the flower scissors and stared at the potted plants of different heights in front of him.

Well-trimmed? Isn't that difficult?

It seems easy to think about, but it is more difficult to prune, and there is no way to see too accurately with the naked eye after all, Ding Xiaoqian looked at those branches and leaves, and first abandoned the side and made the height.

Neat, neat, neat......

She shears and shears down, and soon those potted plants changed from different heights to neat heights like armies, as if they had combed the eggs of recruits with small flat heads.

Ding Xiaoqian moved his wrist, this flower scissors are weird to use, and his wrist is sore and sore for a while.

Seeing that there were still four or five pots left to be pruned, Ding Xiaoqian encouraged himself, raised his hand again and continued to build, and only the click of scissors and Ding Xiaoqian's slightly heavy panting sound could be heard in the corridor of the entire floor.

The mobile phone in his pocket rang suddenly, and the ringtone and vibration made Ding Xiaoqian's hand shake subconsciously, and the potted plants in front of her were cut out by her, and they were instantly shorter than the ones that were pruned before.

Worst!

Ding Xiaoqian chuckled in his heart, and quickly put down the scissors and took out the phone, but it turned out to be Xu Ziqian calling.

There are also big disadvantages of family university, such as if you want to find someone, you have to call.

"What's the matter?"

"What are you doing? The voice is so panting! He asked over there.

"Help grandpa prune potted plants." She replied.

Xu Ziqian immediately became nervous: "Are you helping grandpa prune potted plants?" Didn't cut it badly, did it? ”

Ding Xiaoqian looked at the shorter potted plant, and replied a little depressed: "There was no ...... originally"

The implication is obvious, it is now broken.

Xu Ziqian immediately said: "Wait for me, I'll go over immediately." ”

After hanging up the phone, Ding Xiaoqian stared at the shorter potted plant, raised his eyebrows, and suddenly paid attention.

As long as the front one is trimmed according to this short height, won't it be neat again?

With the previous pruning experience, Ding Xiaoqian moved very quickly this time. When Xu Ziqian came up from the first floor and walked to the end of the corridor, Ding Xiaoqian had already made all the potted plants 'neat'.

Xu Ziqian looked at the miserable picture in front of him, and his voice trembled lightly that he couldn't even detect: "You pruned grandpa's potted plant like this?" ”

Ding Xiaoqian looked at the neat potted plants in front of him with a look of relief, and asked for credit: "How is it?" Let's be tidy. Grandpa told me to trim it a little neatly. ”

Xu Ziqian hesitated for a long time, couldn't bear to discourage Ding Xiaoqian's enthusiasm, and nodded against his will: "It's ...... It's pretty neat. ”

He took Ding Xiaoqian's hand: "Let's go, it's time to eat." ”

Ding Xiaoqian put down the flower scissors in his hand and followed Xu Ziqian downstairs. When Xu Ziqian went downstairs, he called a servant to come over, whispered a few words, and then walked into the restaurant with Ding Xiaoqian.

Old Man Xu is in good spirits and seems to be in a better mood. During the meal, he mentioned in passing: "This girl is good, I like it very much." ”

"Thank you, grandpa." Xu Ziqian replied for Ding Xiaoqian.

Old Man Xu deliberately stiffened his face: "It's not about you, what are you happy about?" ”

Xu Ziqian said with a heartfelt voice: "She is the person I chose, and if you praise her, it is equivalent to praising my good vision, and it is natural for me to thank my grandfather." ”

Old Man Xu said with a spring breeze on his face: "I know it's a joke, it's good, it's good, it's much better than when it was rigid before." You should smile more in the future, I don't know who you are like! ”

Xu Ziqian's father said on the side: "Ziqian has been by his father's side since he was a child, and of course his personality is like your father." ”

Old Man Xu deliberately glanced at his eyes: "Are you saying that I am usually cold?" ”

Xu Ziqian's father smiled but did not speak.

Old Man Xu pointed out meaningfully: "My old man's face is cold, but his heart is hot. Ziqian is like me, I am happy. Unlike some people, with a smile on their faces, they have no affection in their hearts. ”

Ding Xiaoqian glanced at the few people sitting with him and lowered his eyes lightly. This matter has nothing to do with her, and it is not something she should be curious about.

Xu Zihao was obviously much more restrained in front of Old Man Xu, not so public, eating honestly, but immediately raised his head when he heard the words: "It's not me anyway." ”

Xu Ziqian's mother sandwiched a chopstick dish and sent it to Xu Zihao's bowl: "Eat your food, no one thinks you have few words." ”

Xu Zihao squeezed his eyes at Ding Xiaoqian, lowered his head and continued to pick up rice.

After eating, it was already about three o'clock in the afternoon, and Xu Ziqian took Ding Xiaoqian and left with everyone. Old Man Xu reluctantly insisted on sending them to the gate of the villa in person, and said to Ding Xiaoqian: "I wanted to take you to see something else, but it was too late." The next time you come back, grandpa will take you to see it. ”

Ding Xiaoqian naturally nodded in agreement.

Originally, it was a plane at nine o'clock in the evening, but because they were afraid of encountering the congested evening rush hour, the two of them set off from Xu's house in advance.

Park the car that was taken from Liao Zhixuan in the airport parking lot, and naturally Liao Zhixuan will send someone to pick it up. The two had just arrived at the airport hall, and were waiting for the time to change their boarding passes, when Mr. Xu's phone called.

"It's over, here's the reckoning." Xu Ziqian looked at the phone and smiled bitterly, and picked up the phone: "Grandpa." ”

Old Man Xu's angry voice roared from the phone: "That girl cut all my potted plants for me!" ”

Xu Ziqian pretended not to know anything, and said deliberately: "Didn't grandpa ask her to help you prune the potted plants?" ”

Old Man Xu's chest swelled, and he said distressedly: "I asked her to help me prune the potted plants, and I didn't let her cut them for me to look like a ghost, I have worked so hard to raise the potted plants for so long!" ”

Xu Ziqian glanced at Ding Xiaoqian, walked a little farther, and said in a low voice: "Grandpa, don't feel distressed, the old ones don't go and the new ones don't come, those potted plants of yours are also old, it's time to change to new varieties." In this way, the next time you go back, I will help you bring some good ones back, and you will be discouraged. ”

Old Man Xu was panting heavily, as if he was distressed. Xu Ziqian held back a smile and said: "I heard Qian Qian say that you personally said that you pruned the potted plants neatly, does it look much neater now?" ”

Old Man Xu thought about the picture he couldn't see directly before, and covered his heart: "I'm afraid that I have more chances to get sick." Ziqianβ€”"

His voice lowered sharply, and a faint uneasiness swelled in Xu Ziqian's heart.

The entire Xu family didn't care if anyone opposed him, but if the old man insisted on opposing it, he would really have to make a lot of trouble.

When Xu Ziqian was young, because his parents were busy with business, he was brought up by Mr. Xu, so the relationship between him and his parents was really not half as close as Mr. Xu. If Old Man Xu objected to him being with Ding Xiaoqian, it would be impossible for him to give up, but he just wanted to get the old man's approval, but he knew that it would take a lot of thought.

After the old man Xu was low, he suddenly said: "You really picked up a treasure!" ”

Xu Ziqian's hanging heart finally fell back into his stomach. It seems that it is really a wise choice to take Ding Xiaoqian home this time!

Xu Ziqian has always known that Old Man Xu is a cold-faced and warm-hearted person, at least for Xu Ziqian, but he is very mean to others. Dante Xiaoqian went home with Xu Ziqian this time, although he broke Old Man Xu's most precious potted plant and made Old Man Xu furious, but in the end he suppressed his temper and said that Xu Ziqian had found the treasure. If this is replaced by the Xu family and one person, let alone embroidering and cutting the potted plant into this ghostly shape, even if a leaf is removed, Old Man Xu will be angry for a long time.

And when Ding Xiaoqian came to Xu's house this time, Old Man Xu's personality seemed to have changed, and he actually knew that he was naughty and scary.
