Chapter Seventy-Three: Huang Yueji

The driver obviously didn't hear his words clearly, was stunned for a moment, and asked with a face: "What?" ”

"Parking in front! Fast! Cheng Zhichao said again, but his eyes never turned.

Zhao Jiyong licked his lips: "I said, it's quite far from the door of the house, what are you parking?" Looking at his line of sight, he knew why Cheng Zhichao suddenly wanted to stop.

It is true that this road is the main road from east to west, but the geographical location is a little more remote than the city center, not only the road is wide, but also there is no large-scale commercial development, and the largest and only toll park in the provincial capital is located next to the road. How big is the park, Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong don't have a specific concept in their hearts, they only know that there are not only mountains and rivers in it, but also two artificial lakes connected together, although there is no momentum of smoke and waves, but compared with the small lakes in other parks, the area of these two large lakes can be described as a reservoir.

This is only a small part of this park, in addition to these two large lakes, there are also large forests, mainly pine trees, and they are hundreds of thousands of ancient pines, many places, although enclosed within the confines of the park, are inaccessible, so rare that squirrels can swagger around, completely ignoring the existence of people. And amazingly, the squirrels here actually have a black variety.

The fact that such a large park can be stored in a provincial city where every inch of land is valuable is an outlier in itself, and it is even more strange that this park still maintains the tradition of charging fees when other parks have torn down their walls for free. It's just that the citizens living in the provincial capital seem to have become accustomed to such a large park that still charges fees, so it is not surprising.

The park has a lot of benefits, and this park has a number of activities every year. In the summer, the lotus festival is held; In the winter, a large number of ice sculptures are brought from further north and placed in the garden, and the perfume is also vigorous. Before going to college, whenever the Lotus Festival and the Ice Sculpture Exhibition were held, Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong would borrow two sets of military uniforms from the soldiers of the guard company to put on, and by the way, they would carry their soldier cards, and then walk to the door in a big way, take out their soldier cards, and shake the tickets at the door twice. Although the park is less than 500 meters to the south, it is the old nest of the guards, the garrison station, and there is a danger of hitting the muzzle of the gun at any time, but the two are still happy.

They do this not because they don't care about the ten or twenty yuan for the ticket money, but because they want to experience the superiority of those who are soldiers who take the bus and enter the park without having to buy a ticket. It's just that after being superior, when they return home, they are often severely trained by Cheng Weiguo and Zhao Dongjin, and they are strictly forbidden to wear military uniforms to go out to deceive.

It is now the height of summer, it is the day when the lotus flowers are in full bloom, according to the convention, the lotus festival is vigorously launched again, and the lotus festival held every year can attract thousands of people to come and join in this excitement every year. In order to make this lotus festival prosperous, the entrance of the park is carefully arranged, the square at the door, not only set up a fountain, but also on the left and right sides, but also two large flower walls.

What attracted Cheng Zhichao was these two big flower walls.

Although the driver didn't know why, he couldn't understand why the two guys who were going to the headquarters got off here, so he slowly parked the taxi on the side of the road as he said. When Zhao Jiyong was paying, Cheng Zhichao had already pushed the door with his bag and got out of the car, and walked quickly to the flower wall.

These two flower walls are composed of pots of flowers placed on the flower stand, composed of four different colors and varieties of flowers, these flowers have been carefully cared for, and they bloom extremely dazzlingly, but I don't know why, Zhao Jiyong stretched out his nose and sniffed a few times, but he couldn't smell the slightest fragrance of flowers. It seems that the artificially cultivated things are still much worse than the natural wild.

Cheng Zhichao is not concerned about whether the flowers are fragrant or not, but about the flowers themselves. After staring at the bottom row of yellow flowers for a long time, he took a long breath, turned around and said to Zhao Jiyong: "See, there are so many." ”

Zhao Jiyong followed up and exclaimed: "It's really a lot, I've never seen so many." ”

What made the two of them get off the bus halfway, stand for a long time, and admire is not a famous flower, nor a rare flower, but hundreds of pots of yellow moon season.

China was originally the origin of the moon season, and hundreds of years ago, a pot of Chinese moon season was worth a thousand gold in the eyes of foreigners. It has been recorded that once the two countries lined up at sea, when they were ready to fight, the two armies suddenly appeared in the formation, and after inspection, the ship was carrying a lot of "precious" Yuejihua, these two groups of foreigners were suddenly stunned, and felt that this matter was not trivial, and after each sent envoys to discuss, it was decided that in order not to let the war damage these precious Yuejihua, a temporary truce, and the two sides sent a fleet to escort the merchant ship out of this waters.

Whether this information is true or false, there is no way to verify, the current Yueji flower is not a rare thing in the eyes of foreigners, but it is an indisputable fact that Cheng Zhichao has a soft spot for Huang Yueji. Among the many moon seasons, he only has a soft spot for Huang Yueji, and this emotion, which Zhao Jiyong described as "heavy", can be traced back to when he was in junior high school.

Cheng Zhichao stood in front of the flower wall like a javelin, quietly looking at these flowers, with a solemn face. Looking at him, it definitely doesn't look like he is admiring flowers, but as if he is paying tribute to his lost youth, and his dark eyes gradually become hot.

This time, Zhao Jiyong surprisingly didn't talk to him, stood with him for a while, sighed, and asked, "Now, do you remember what Huang Yueji looks like?" ”

Cheng Zhichao was stunned for a moment, raised his head and thought for a long time, and said with a wry smile: "Why do you ask this question?" ”

"Curiosity, pure curiosity." Zhao Jiyong stretched out his hand to pluck one, glanced at the crowd around him, and retracted his hand embarrassedly, "Back then, you were so obsessed with Huang Yueji that you didn't want to think about it, and you had to collect it like collecting high-end perfumes when people fart." I just want to know, after so many years, you have another Fang Xiaochen who treats you as a treasure in your heart, how much Huang Yueji has in your heart. ”

Cheng Zhichao's fiery eyes gradually became confused, and finally shook his head: "I don't know whether it's the specific gravity of Huang Yueji in my heart, or the specific gravity of Huang Yueji in my heart." Maybe I'm like this, I have to do everything in a hurry. Although Huang Yueji has gone far, Huang Yueji has left traces in my heart. In other words, if it weren't for the yellow moon, I would probably be like most people and completely ignore the colors of the moon. ”,

This sentence is quite tongue-twisting, and Huang Yueji has appeared many times, outsiders may sound like a book from heaven, but Zhao Jiyong and he have been mixed together since childhood, it is not difficult to understand. It's just because although the yellow moon season that appears here many times is a noun, it is two different things, one is a person, and the other is a real moon season flower. After knowing this relationship, it is not difficult to understand this sentence.

Zhao Jiyong has experienced a hundred battles, of course he will not be sour by his emotion, and snorted in his nostrils: "You don't seem to have said it, do you still remember Huang Yueji's appearance?" ”

Cheng Zhichao thought for a while, and finally shook his head awkwardly: "Except for the dimples on her face, there really isn't much of an impression on anything else." You also know that this girl's dimples are more alternative, not real dimples, it can only be said to be a pit at the corner of her mouth, small and deep, even if she doesn't smile, she can show it with a pout. By the way, does she still have a scar on her brow? According to her, it seems that she was scratched by the cat when she was a child. ”

"Holy!" Zhao Jiyong sighed, "Such a beautiful, such a romantic first love, let you chew peonies alive, and it will be ruined." ”

"What's there to spoil then? How many people's first love hasn't been ruined? Now let you think back to the big-eyed class leader of our class, can you still remember what she looks like? ”

Zhao Jiyong thought about it sideways, and the expression on his face was even more embarrassed: "I even forgot what her name was." ”

"Then you can spoil your first love more than I do."

"That's different, although she and I are in love, but not as romantic as you, at most I just invite her to eat a string of ice cream and drink two bags of shaved ice. You are different, not only did you invite people to eat ice cream and drink shaved ice, but also sent flowers, which is much more romantic than me. ”

"But you're happier than me, at least your love is interactive, and I'm fucking in the end, it's just a crush, and I'm frustrated when I mention it."

"It's not a crush, I've heard people say that a crush on this thing has to be carried out secretly, your crush is known to the world, and almost a deputy commander of a dignified and heavily armed group army asked the teacher to catch him in the school for training, strictly speaking, it is not a crush."

"Is it the deputy commander who is suspended?"

"Yes, yes, yes, he is the chief of staff of a large military region, and he is attached to the group army as a deputy commander." Zhao Jiyong accepted Cheng Zhichao's correction, "That's it, the city is full of wind and rain, do you dare to say that you are a crush?" I've long wanted to change the word 'crush' to 'unrequited love', but we're brothers, and I've always been embarrassed to hit you. ”

Cheng Zhichao nodded again and again: "Sure enough, you are a good brother, you think about me everywhere, I really don't know how to thank you." ”

"You're welcome, you just have to answer me a question."

"What's the problem?"

"The moon season flower you gave to that girl, is it Huang Yueji?"

This question is not difficult to answer, Cheng Zhichao gave the answer without thinking about it: "How do I know?" ”

"You are really not human, you sent flowers to the goddess in your heart, and you actually gave a discount." Zhao Jiyong greatly despised him.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

What these two people are talking about is an old incident from Cheng Zhichao's junior high school days, and sometimes, when the old things are brought up, not all of them are full of emotion, at least not the two in front of them.

The "Huang Yueji" in their mouths is in the same class as them, and it is undeniable that among many girls, this girl is quite outstanding, but from Zhao Jiyong's point of view, she is not as Cheng Zhichao described "standing out from the crowd". And the reason why Cheng Zhichao feels this way is completely the reason why Xi Shi is in the eyes of his lover.

Of course, that girl has her own name, and she is definitely not called Huang Yueji, but because Cheng Zhichao sent flowers once, this girl became Huang Yueji in their mouths.

That time to send flowers was the first time Cheng Zhichao sent flowers to a girl since he was a child. The love affair in my youth is often very innocent, so this buddy also sends flowers very innocently, not like the Valentine's Day roses after the flower delivery became popular, but the out-and-out moon flowers, or sent together with flower pots.

This qiē is only because the girl suddenly wants to raise flowers, and she specifies that she wants to raise moon flowers, especially proposing that she must have a yellow moon season. It's just that she doesn't seem to have any way, and she hasn't found Huang Yueji to raise after looking for a long time, so she can't help but feel a little regretful. When she inadvertently mentioned this regret to Cheng Zhichao one day, Cheng Zhichao, who was blinded by the lard of love, immediately slapped his chest loudly, with a big "What's so difficult about this?" I'll help you get a pot of yellow moon season, it's like digging into a bag".

The girl was overjoyed, and immediately glanced at Cheng Zhichao, and while thanking him repeatedly, she showed a smile that Cheng Zhichao was not worth his life. Looking at this girl's smile, which was a little more beautiful than Huang Yueji, Cheng Zhichao suddenly felt that the bones in his body were lighter. In the next ten days, Cheng activated all the relationships that could be activated, looking for Huang Yueji everywhere.

It's just that because the solar terms are wrong, when the girl and Cheng Zhichao mentioned it, it happened to be just spring, and the moon flowers had just sprouted, and it was really not easy to get a pot of yellow moon season accurately. Finally, I finally cut a branch of the moon flower at the aunt's house in the single reed Qing unit and inserted it in the flower pot, and returned home with the flower pot in my heart, and found a feng shui level for the god of wealth to supply the flower pot, watering and fertilizing it every day, and I couldn't wait to become a kangaroo myself, and put the flower pot that carried my hope in the nursery bag and took care of it carefully.

Zhao Jiyong also knew about it at the time, and after school, he also took care of the pot of flowers with Cheng Zhichao. It didn't take long for the branch to sprout and pull out the branch, which was soft and weak, as if it would melt at the touch of it. After working hard for so long, and finally having a harvest, Cheng Zhi was naturally proud, and in the words of the textbook, "my heart is as sweet as eating honey", and in Zhao Jiyong's words, "my heart is as sweet as eating bee feces".

Originally, Cheng Zhichao wanted to raise the flower bigger and then give it to the girl, but Zhao Jiyong raised a serious question not long after the flower was drawn: "What if the flower is not yellow?" ”

Cheng Zhichao's surprise is not trivial, if this flower is not yellow, let the goddess know, wouldn't he blame him for his ineffective work? After thinking about it, I decided to give away the flowers at the budding stage. Even if the flowers are not yellow in the future, you can excuse yourself by saying that the flowers are too small to see when you send them.

Just do it, the next day, Cheng Zhichao went to school with a flower pot, and solemnly gave the pot of flowers to the surprised girl, not only that, but also buy one get one free, along with this pot of moon flowers, there is also a pot of cactus that Zhao Jiyong has raised for two and a half years, but it is still only the size of a fist.
