On a weekend morning, the sky is as blue as a freshly painted canvas, and the air is fresh as if it had been washed. Lan Eucalyptus sat alone on the bus, holding her cheeks with her hands, smiling rather than smiling, and staring out the window in a daze. The reflections of the tall buildings on both sides of the street passed casually in her eyes, and she couldn't hold back her excitement, and her eyes sparkled. Lan Yu and Teacher Wu have known each other for so long, and today she can finally go to Teacher Wu's house to play. She carefully fiddled with a delicate-looking bag with two boxes of fine-colored clematis. This is the most valuable gift she has stored at home, Lan Eucalyptus and her family agreed that it is the most suitable to give to Teacher Wu, not that Lan Eucalyptus wants to flatter the teacher, in fact, she does not have anything to ask the teacher, but Lan Eucalyptus feels that Teacher Wu treats people intimately, and she finally looks forward to going to her house as a guest, so she can't wait to choose the best gift to express her heart.

Lan Yu has long regarded Mr. Wu as his life mentor. The ancients said: A teacher for one day, a father for life. Lan Yu even worshipped Teacher Wu as his mother a little bit in his heart. She considers herself lucky to be able to become an illustrator later, mostly because of Mr. Wu's careful guidance. It was only after many years that she looked back and understood more and more the importance of Mr. Wu at the juncture of her life.

This bus was rerouted not long ago, and the terminal is the real estate where Mr. Wu's house is located - Lanting Garden. Lan Eucalyptus was overexcited all the way, and if she hadn't gotten off at the terminal, she would have almost passed the station again. The car drove leisurely into the parking lot of the terminal, stopped with a creak, and the blue eucalyptus hurriedly jumped off the bus with the gift box in her arms, jumping along the way. Lan Eucalyptus has a small habit, that is, when she is in a good mood, she will involuntarily jump when she walks, and the thick soles seem to be elastic by her, and the whole person, including the shoes on her feet, are cheering.

Ms. Wu lives in the first phase of Lanting Garden, just across the street from the parking lot, and a colleague of Lan Yu's mother also lives here, according to her, it was sold out as soon as it opened, and many people who did not buy a house can only sigh at the rising housing prices. However, the occupancy rate of the first phase is only nearly half, and the rest are speculators with spare money. Not far away, the second phase of Lanting Garden is still under construction day and night, and the dust in the air spreads all over the street, so that even the leaves of the low trees at the entrance of the community are covered with a layer of dirty loess.

Lan Eucalyptus changed the gift box in his hand to his left hand and lifted it, covered his nose with his right hand, and walked to the other side of the road with a look around. She just wanted to take out her mobile phone from her pocket and call Teacher Wu, when she heard Teacher Wu's voice calling Lan Eucalyptus, Lan Eucalyptus raised her head in surprise, but she didn't expect that the teacher was already waiting for her at the gate of Lanting Garden Phase I.

Mr. Wu wore a toffee-colored windbreaker today, standing at the gate of the community and waving to the blue eucalyptus. Toffee is probably the color that has become popular lately, and it's actually caramel, but the two names sound the same, similar to macarons, and both are named after the name of the food. This color is also contained in the earth color system, which is the most natural color in eye makeup. The toffee color is actually very close to the coffee color, the difference is that it is slightly more saturated than the coffee color, and it is warmer and more foreign than the coffee color. And the coffee color itself is very appropriate compared to other colors. It is not too immature, nor too old; It's not overzealous, and it's not too cold. The coffee color is the most error-prone color in the matching, elegant, intellectual, and noble, and the toffee color has a little more life and sweet vitality than the coffee color.

Lan Yu couldn't help but admire: "Teacher Wu, the clothes you are wearing today are so beautiful!" Teacher Wu's eyes smiled into a crescent moon, "Blue eucalyptus mouth is so sweet!" In fact, this dress was found by Shuxian on the Internet, and it happened that this style was broken, and only the medium size was left, so it was only sold for more than 100 years. And the medium size was just right for Shuxian, so she quickly bought it without hesitation, after all, this kind of money-saving and desirable time is not many miles.

Lan Eucalyptus followed Teacher Wu and walked around the newly paved cobblestone road in the community. More than a dozen apartment buildings are neatly and tightly arranged on the concrete floor of the community like matchboxes, and there is hardly any landscape in the community, and the lawn between the buildings is slender and long, as if trying to survive in the cracks. In this narrow open space where trees cannot be planted, there are more than a dozen spider plants growing sparsely. The delicate leaves of the spider plant are tinged with new green, and despite the ash on the leaves, the young new shoots in the middle are still raised high, and it seems that every minute and every second they are growing towards the free sky, struggling to shake off the shackles of the land. Lan Eucalyptus's eyes were a little gloomy when she looked around curiously, and she was anxious to think about how long it would take to arrive, but fortunately, Shuxian stopped in front of a building that was about to reach the back door of the community after a while, raised her hand and skillfully entered the password on the numeric keypad of the iron door at the staircase, and Lan Eucalyptus absentmindedly followed into the apartment building.

The stairwell on the ground floor barely shone a little sunlight, but in this city where every inch of land is at a premium, residents who grit their teeth and live have become accustomed to it. Standing at the top of the staircase, every household has installed thick security nets on their balconies and windows, and each household is like a canary living in a birdcage. Although this community is patrolled by security guards 24 hours a day, it is not easy to have problems in terms of security. But in Shuxian's view, the property fee of 400 yuan a month is not counting miscellaneous items such as water, electricity, and broadband fees, which is tantamount to grabbing money.

Taking advantage of the gap between waiting for the elevator, Lan Eucalyptus presented two boxes of golden clematis with both hands, Shuxian thought that Lan Eucalyptus was giving some kind of nut gift, so she took it with thanks, and when she saw the three words "Golden Clematis" printed on the gift box, she suddenly restrained her smile and asked Lan Eucalyptus with a calm face, "Why do you give such a valuable thing?" Lan Yu saw that the teacher's expression had changed, so he had to explain with a panicked face, "Teacher Wu, don't be unhappy, I'm just willing to give you the best things, please accept it!" Shuxian lowered her head and hesitated for a long time, then let out a long sigh.

The elevator arrived at this time, and Shuxian pushed Lan Eucalyptus's shoulder to approach the elevator and pressed the button on the 18th floor of the top floor. Wu Shuxian's family lives on the top floor of this building, and although they have to endure more hot summers and cold winters than other floors, the extra electricity bills for air conditioning and heating are less than one-tenth of the savings on housing prices. It's just that when there is an occasional power outage in the community, Shuxian's family has to climb to the eighteenth floor out of breath, sometimes carrying heavy objects on their hands, and it is extremely inconvenient to climb the building. As a result, Shuxian's parents rarely come to their daughter's house.

Lan Yu looked at the billboard hanging on the wall of the elevator hall in a daze, and the elevator rose to the 18th floor in an instant. Shuxian pointed to the door of her house, "My house has arrived, number 1803." She took the key out of her pocket and opened the door, but the transparent film on the security door had not had time to be removed. As soon as the door opened, I saw a little girl with a ponytail standing at the door, and Shuxian asked in surprise, "Nia, weren't you sleeping just now?" Why do you wake up so quickly? Nia is not afraid to live when she sees strangers, "I heard that Sister Lan Yu came to our house to play today, so I came out to have a look...... Sister Lan Eucalyptus, the slippers are here, I'll help you get them! Nia obediently stepped forward, leaned over to help Lan Yu find slippers from the shoe cabinet, and then politely laid them flat in front of the guests. Lan Yu hurriedly said thank you, Nia waved her hand enthusiastically, and a pair of small and beautiful Danfeng eyes were bright and bright. Lan Yu looked at it, wasn't this the little girl in the picture frame on Mr. Wu's desk? She seems to have grown a lot taller than in the pictures.

Shuxian greeted Lan Eucalyptus warmly, "Don't be restrained when you come to the teacher's house, just like in your own home." If it's hot, take off your coat and hang it here. Lan Eucalyptus looked in the direction of Shuxian's finger, and there was a deer head carved from walnut hanging above the shoe cabinet, and the antlers like branches turned out to be coat hooks, which was quite interesting. Lan Eucalyptus stood at the entrance and glanced slightly, the house was not luxuriously decorated, but the overall feeling was atmospheric and warm.

Teacher Wu took Lan Eucalyptus' hand and sat down on the sofa, and first handed her a pot of fruit candy to eat, and Lan Eucalyptus shook her hand and said that she didn't eat candy. Shuxian had no choice but to put a whole plate of sugar back on the coffee table, turned to her daughter Nia and said, "You go back to your room to play, and I'll say something considerate to your sister Lan Yu." Nia obediently went back to her room. Shuxian picked up a big red apple from the fruit basket and peeled it with her hands. Lan Yu hurriedly said, "Teacher, don't bother, I ate late for breakfast and my stomach is very full!" Shuxian smiled slyly, "Who said that it was cut for you, let's eat half of each of us, you can eat with me, I can't finish eating alone." Lan Yu said with a cute face, "Then I'll ask Nia to come out and eat together." Shuxian got up and stopped her, "She also eats, and the teacher wants to share it with you, aren't you happy?" Lan Eucalyptus had no choice but to take half of the apple obediently, "Why don't you be happy, I can't wait for it!" ”

The teacher and student happily sat on the sofa and ate the apple, and Shuxian took the blue eucalyptus to visit the room. Lan Eucalyptus followed for a full walk and stopped in the study. I saw that Nia was concentrating on the desk to put together puzzle puzzles. There was a beautifully carved acoustic guitar hanging on the wall of the study, and Lan Eucalyptus's eyes lit up with envy, and he turned his head curiously and asked Mr. Wu, "Is this what you played when you were young?" Teacher Wu pursed the corners of his mouth, "How can I play this." My husband bought it when he was in college, and he hasn't played it once since he moved here, and now it's just an ornament. He is a plastic surgeon, and he has to work overtime almost every day, so he has no leisure to pick up his hobbies, hey......" Lan Eucalyptus carefully stood on tiptoe, held his breath and looked at the romantic instrument on the wall, and saw with the naked eye that the outside of the acoustic guitar was covered with a layer of dust, and quietly guessed in his heart what kind of passionate youth the owner of this instrument had.

Nia moved a chair over and beckoned Lan Eucalyptus to sit down, and in the corner of the study there was a pot of fortune trees, growing luxuriantly. The eucalyptus gently stroked one of the leaves, leaned forward to observe it carefully, and found that there was a small crack on the leaf, the edge of the crack had dried up, and the rest of the place was still lush, which showed that the tree was alive and not decorative. Lan Eucalyptus just wanted to blurt out that this pot of fortune trees must be real plants, and suddenly thought about it, and wanted to take a test to see if she usually felt the grass and trees around her.

So Lan Eucalyptus asked, "Nia, is this tree alive or is it decorated with plastic?" Nia smiled in her eyes, "It's true, I water it every day." Sister should have seen it, right? I see that you were playing with the leaves just now, and the leaf you touched was not intact, and you must have noticed it after looking at it for so long, and knew that this tree could not be an ornament made of plastic. Because no matter how realistic a fake thing is, it will definitely not have such a natural flaw. Just like people, if everything is good, there must be an ingredient in it. The deputy head of our class is like that, the performance in front of the teacher is called a perfection, and after the teacher leaves, he doesn't realize anything, and the fox's tail is immediately exposed. But I'm not going to expose him, I'm just going to be myself. ”

Lan Yu was a little surprised, if she hadn't heard it with her own ears, she probably couldn't believe that this remark came from a primary school student, if she didn't have a little experience in getting along with people, how could she summarize it eloquently? She froze for a moment and touched Nia's head approvingly, "That's good! It's not easy! Mr. Wu, I'm so happy for you to have such an excellent daughter! Teacher Wu was busy peeling fruits, and waved his hand with a smile, "Don't praise her." Eucalyptus is not an outsider, so I'll just say it. I'm afraid that Nia will hear too many words of praise and her tail will rise to the sky! She's still young, and she can't be too proud. Nia understood her mother's good intentions and knew that it was all for her good, so she smiled sweetly on the side.

The time was slowly approaching noon, Shuxian patted her head, "Look at my memory, my sister brought a big box of rice cakes yesterday, I originally wanted to fry them for you at noon today, but I forgot to take them out of the refrigerator to thaw, this hard Bangbang can't cut at all, let's take you out of the restaurant at noon!" Lan Yu heard the noise in the dining room and hurriedly walked out of the study, "Teacher Wu, don't bother, I'll go home and eat at noon." Shuxian smiled kindly, "You don't have to be polite to me, it's rare to come and accompany the teacher to dinner before leaving." Without saying anything, he led Lan Eucalyptus and Nia to eat outside. At this time, it is time to eat, the store is already overcrowded, the signature dishes of this store are steamed in a steamer, focusing on health preservation, and the decoration of the hotel uses a large number of classical screens and carved windows, which looks antique.

After the meal, Shuxian held Nia in one hand and blue eucalyptus in the other, pressing the road nearby. Suddenly, Shuxian asked coldly, "Lan Eucalyptus, do you have a boyfriend?" Lan Eucalyptus blushed and shook her head. Teacher Wu said, "There will definitely be a other half of the eucalyptus, and I will bring it to the teacher when that day." Lan Eucalyptus lowered her head shyly, and muttered, "The other half hasn't been born yet...... "Nia said with sharp teeth, "If you haven't been born yet, wouldn't you be younger than me, my sister and old cow eat tender grass." Shuxian patted her daughter's head, covered her mouth and smiled.

When the blue eucalyptus went home, it was Shuxian who drove it. Along the way, Shuxian kept teasing herself as a female driver. When she got out of the car, Shuxian stuffed two boxes of tea to Lan Eucalyptus, Lan Yu hesitated and was unwilling to accept it, she realized that this was a return gift from the teacher, she was kind enough to give the teacher a valuable gift, but she didn't expect it to cause a psychological burden to the teacher. Lan Yu thought depressedly, the golden clematis she gave to Teacher Wu was given by her mother's colleague, and the family didn't spend a penny, but these two boxes of tea were bought by Teacher Wu himself, Lan Yu felt a little distressed, isn't this a good intention? Lan Eucalyptus realizes that her way of doing things needs to grow too much, and she looks forward to becoming more mature soon!
