"Well, since you've said so, I'm welcome. First of all, you have to add some water to the pit. ”

Lin Zi clasped his hands around his chest and commanded at Yi Zhen.

"Okay."

Yi Zhen answered obediently, and at the same time picked up the kettle in his hand and poured water into the pit.

"And then? Mr. Lin, what should I do next? ”

Yi Zhen turned his head and asked Lin Zi with a well-behaved and serious face.

"The next step is to fill in the holes."

Listening to Lin Zi's words, Yi Zhen obediently put the tree seeds into the pit.

"Straighten the seeds, or the trees that will grow in the future will be crooked."

Lin Zi said to Yi Zhen.

"Okay, Mr. Lin."

After listening to Lin Zi's words, Yi Zhen carefully straightened the tree species, and then filled the pit little by little.

"You step on it again, press it."

Lin Zi pointed to the soil on the side and said to Yi Zhen.

"I'm already firmly buried, why do I have to step on it?"

Yi Zhen was like a 100,000 why elementary school student at this time, looking at Lin Zi with a curious face and asking.

"This is done so that the saplings don't get hung when it's windy."

Saying that, Lin Zi didn't wait for Yi Zhen to get on his feet, he had already walked over and stepped on the pit.

"Okay, that's it. The last thing is to permeate the saplings. ”

"What is permeability?"

Lin Zi's professional name stunned Yi Zhen.

"Ahem, listen to Mr. Lin to tell you, permeable water, that is, to water the saplings thoroughly, you must ask again, how to be considered thorough watering, let me tell you, you follow the surroundings like this, watered with water, you must start watering from the roots, like this, watered thoroughly, so that the small tree can thrive."

Lin Zi said to Yi Zhen as he took the kettle from Yi Zhen and poured it on the sapling.

"Alright, that's it."

Lin Zi turned to Yi Zhen to show off.

"I didn't expect you to be so interested in planting trees."

"Hey, that's common sense."

"Oh, isn't this you, besides, under the teaching of Mr. Lin today, I have grown a lot of knowledge, there is a saying that does not say, listening to your words, it is better to read a book for ten years, it is you."

Yi Zhen said coquettishly to Lin Zi.

"I didn't expect that."

Lin Zi looked at Yi Zhen and sighed.

"What didn't you expect?"

"I just found out today, you are so flamboyant, you still talk in a set."

"Anyway, I'm just saying it from the bottom of my heart to you. Okay, it's not getting early, my mom must be ready to cook and wait for us at home, let's go upstairs. ”

Yi Zhen bent down and picked up the shovel that was placed aside, and said with his other hand around Lin Zi's shoulder.

"Ah, wait."

Lin Zi bent down and took out a small card from the bag beside him, took out another pen, squatted on the ground and lowered his head to write.

"Xiao Zi, what are you doing?"

"I'm writing signs, saying that everyone has a responsibility to take care of the sapling, so that everyone won't pull it out for no reason."

As he spoke, Lin Zi hung the written card on the tree seed.

"You're going to have to thrive."

Lin Zi gently stroked the tree species and said softly.

"I didn't expect you to have such a gentle side."

Yi Zhen, who was standing on the side, looked at Lin Zi and said.

"I'm a gentle person. By the way, have you ever heard a poem about the Catalpa tree? ”

"Does Azusa still have poetry?"

"Of course, my country's poetry is broad and profound, that poem was written by the Yuan Dynasty poet Ni Zhan, called "To the Catalpa Tree Flower", but the meaning of this poem is actually quite sad."

Lin Zi looked at the catalpa sapling in front of him and muttered to himself: "When the catalpa tree bloomed last year, the beauty Mingjue sat on the curtain. This year, the catalpa tree is like snow, and the beauty has died in July. The catalpa flowers were like snow and couldn't bear to look at them, and they groaned and thought about their tears. The singing doves and milk swallows are sad together, and the willows are full of smoke. ”

"Look, isn't it sad."

Lin Zi looked up at Yi Zhen and said.

"This year, the catalpa tree is like snow, and the beauty has died in July. Well, it's sad, but I don't like that. If I had to write, I wouldn't have written such bleak poetry. ”

Yi Zhen shook his head and said to Lin Zi.

"Can you still write poetry?"

"That's it."

"Yo, let's hear it."

Lin Zi was interested in Yi Zhen's words, got up and looked at Yi Zhen and said.

"I think it's okay, this poem should be, when the catalpa tree blooms in the coming year, the beautiful woman next to her is already a wife, the catalpa flower is as white as snow, and the affection is endless."

Yi Zhen smiled and said to Lin Zi: "How is it, is it very talented, and have you been suddenly impressed by my talent." ”

"Hey, what kind of nonsense are you writing, what kind of beautiful woman next to me is already a wife, so I don't."

As he spoke, Lin Zi turned around, a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and then returned to his usual calm, ran a few steps forward, and said to Yi Zhen: "Let's go, let's go upstairs." ”

"What do you mean, then you said that the catalpa tree will bloom next year, will you still be by my side?"

Yi Zhen stood in place, looked at Lin Zi who ran away, and asked with a smile.

The sunset sprinkled down from the gap between the high-rise buildings and hit Yi Zhen's body, and the whole person looked shining.

Lin Zi smiled at Yi Zhen in front of him, put his hand to his mouth, and shouted loudly: "Wait!" ”

Yi Zhen, who heard the answer, ran to Lin Zi and asked, "What do you mean by waiting?" Is this a memorial to be made, or can it be expected? ”

"Guess."

Lin Zi winked mischievously at Yi Zhen, and then ran forward.

"Let's go, I'm hungry, let's go upstairs and eat."

"Hey, it's so hard for you to get an answer."

Yi Zhen followed behind him, pretending to be aggrieved and complaining.

"Don't let Auntie wait."

"Alright, here we go."

......

The two returned upstairs, and Qin Yun was already cooking and waiting for them.

"Come on, you go wash your hands first, and we'll eat later."

Qin Yun said to the two.

"Auntie, it's been a hard work."

Lin Zi smiled sweetly at Qin Yun, after such a day of getting along, Lin Zi had already regarded Qin Yun as his elder in his heart.

Lin Zi turned around and went to the kitchen to wash his hands, and Yi Zhen also came over, looking unhappy.

Seeing this, Lin Zi knew that he must still be making trouble about what happened just now, so he gently poked Yi Zhen with his elbow.

Yi Zhen felt Lin Zi's small movements, but deliberately did not react and ignored her.

Lin Zi approached Yi Zhen and asked in a low voice, "Angry?" ”

Yi Zhen said lightly: "No." ”

"And say no, you see your face stinks, and you can kill a fly on your brow. It's okay to have a smile. ”

Lin Zi said coquettishly to Yi Zhen.

Yi Zhen still didn't manage Lin Zi, but didn't look over.

"Don't do that, it's okay to laugh."

Lin Zi gently poked Yi Zhen's cheek with his hand and said.

Yi Zhen turned his head and barely squeezed out a smile at Lin Zi, and then turned his head away.

"You're laughing like this worse than crying."

Lin Zi saw that Yi Zhen still didn't react, so he had to say, "You can look forward to it." ”

"Huh?"

Yi Zhen turned his head to look at Lin Zi and asked.

"Yes, you can look forward to it."

Lin Zi looked at Yi Zhen and said seriously.

The corners of Yi Zhen's mouth moved slightly, and then he pretended to be indifferent and said: "I said that I was not angry, I washed my hands, let's go to eat." ”

Yi Zhen turned his back and couldn't help but snicker, then returned to the table and sat down.

"Sure enough, it's a child."

Seeing Yi Zhen's mood change so quickly, Lin Zi couldn't help but smile.

Lin Zi was about to dry his hands and return to the dining table when his mobile phone rang.

Lin Zi picked up the phone and saw that it was a phone from home, and immediately answered it.

"Hey."

"Xiaozi, Mrs. asked me to ask you, are you going home for dinner tonight?"

"It's Sister-in-law Lin, what's that, I won't come back for dinner tonight, you tell my parents, but I won't come back very late, I should be home around eight o'clock, let them not worry."

Yi Zhen and Qin Yun sat at the table and saw that Lin Zi had not come out of the sink for a long time, so Yi Zhen got up and called Lin Zi.

"Xiaozi, what are you doing, why haven't you come out yet."

As soon as Lin Zi heard Yi Zhen's voice, he immediately shushed at Yi Zhen.

Yi Zhen saw that Lin Zi was on the phone, and immediately covered his mouth and remained silent.

"Xiao Zi, are you with your friends?"

Sister-in-law Lin asked.

"Uh, yes, so, I'm not coming back for dinner, let my parents stop waiting for me, my friend is urging me, bye-bye."

As he spoke, Lin Zi quickly turned off the phone.

I was still worried about whether Yi Zhen's voice was heard by Sister-in-law Lin just now, but seeing that it was the phone number of the landline at home, it shouldn't be so obvious, so Lin Zi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, turned around and walked out from the sink.

Lin Zi sat down at the table and found that he had made a table full of dishes, and said to Qin Yun with an embarrassed face: "Auntie, I'm really embarrassed, I'll come for a day, and you will work so hard." ”

"It's not hard, it's not hard, Auntie, it's not hard at all, don't you stop coming because you're embarrassed, in that case, Auntie will be sad."

"Auntie, don't worry, I will come to see you more in the future. It's just that next time, don't work so hard, you said it was commonplace, and this is enough to catch up with the full banquet of the Manchurians. ”

Lin Zi took Qin Yun's hand and said.

"Alas, it would be nice if I had a well-behaved daughter like you, they all say that my daughter is my mother's intimate little padded jacket, unlike our family Yi Zhen, who will not say these heart-warming words."

Qin Yun sighed.

"Auntie, don't worry, you, now like my elders, I will come to see you often."

"That's great, it's decided, and ah, if Yi Zhen, a stinky boy, dares to bully you in the future, tell Auntie, and Auntie will teach him a lesson for you in the future."

"I will, auntie."

Lin Zi smiled sweetly at Qin Yun.

"Did you hear that, in the future, you are not allowed to bully Xiaozi, do you know?"

Qin Yun turned to Yi Zhen and admonished.

"How dare I bully her, she bullied me."

Yi Zhen said to Qin Yun aggrievedly.

"If you're a boy, you should let the girl go."

"Mom, let's eat quickly, otherwise the dishes will be cold."

Seeing this, Yi Zhen immediately changed the topic.

"Okay, eat vegetables, eat vegetables, Xiao Zi, you eat more."

"Auntie, you too."
