Chapter 19: Hydrangea

Just when she was a little apprehensive, she saw Huo Yujue walk into the courtyard, holding a flower pot in his hand, and inside was a green plant.

Xiaoque was very enthusiastic when she saw Huo Yujue, because in her heart, she seemed to have regarded the other party as her master's savior: "Third Young Master, please come in." ”

"Little finch, is the second young grandmother better? Do you take your medication on time? Huo Yujue asked.

"Third young master, the young lady is already better, and she is taking her medicine on time." The little finch replied.

Huo Yujue walked into the hall and put the flower pot on the floor tiles of the outhouse, and then he came to the inner room.

He also found out that she and her second brother were sleeping in separate rooms when he rescued Xiang Wanqing when he came back here yesterday, but, unlike the old lady, he didn't think there was any accident at all, on the contrary, he didn't know why, he felt that it should be so.

Xiang Wanqing wanted to get up to entertain Huo Yujue, but was immediately stopped by him: "Second sister-in-law, don't move!" ”

"It's good to lie down and raise it, the body and bones are the most important, this time you made you suffer, it's all because I was careless and thoughtless at the time......" Huo Yujue regretted it when he remembered what happened yesterday, he thought that since he had found out when he left home, he shouldn't leave.

"Where...... Third brother, don't say that, if you hadn't rescued me in time, I would have really suffered, you are my savior, I haven't thanked you yet, why do you say such things again? Xiang Wanqing said angrily.

Huo Yujue smiled ashamedly, at this moment, he suddenly felt that since he and Xiang Wanqing realized that now, he seemed to always have only one feeling in the face of herβ€”guilt and self-blame.

I think that when they met for the first time, it was obviously Xiang Wanqing who bumped into him, but she herself fell, isn't that what he owes her? Hehe, thinking of this, Huo Yujue couldn't help but laugh again.

"Third brother, what are you laughing at?" Xiang Wanqing asked.

"Oh, it's nothing," Huo Yujue stopped laughing and asked, "Second sister-in-law, isn't the second brother at home?" Did you go to Mom's again? ”

"Well, when I got up in the morning, I yelled that I was hungry and wanted to eat, so I went to my mother to ask for pastries." Xiang Wanqing replied.

Huo Yujue shook his head helplessly, and changed the subject: "Second sister-in-law, do you remember that day in the garden pavilion, I said that I would give you a gift?" There was a gleam in his eyes.

Xiang Wanqing frowned and fell into memory, and then said, "Hey, it seems that there is really such a thing." ”

"Haha, it seems that if I don't mention it, the second sister-in-law has forgotten it, so my promise doesn't need to be fulfilled." Huo Yujue said with a smile.

"Third brother, you ......" Xiang Wanqing was teased, a little crying and laughing.

"Hehe, second sister-in-law, I'm not kidding you anymore." Huo Yujue got up and went to the outhouse to move the flower pots, put them on the table in front of Xiang Wanqing's bed, and said, "Second sister-in-law, what do you think this is?" ”

Xiang Wanqing looked towards the table, only to see a delicate and simple ceramic flower pot, is a green plant, at first glance, the plant is not eye-catching, not big or small branches, a piece of leaves stretching outward, at the top of a few branches, holding some small buds.

"What is this?" Xiang Wanqing asked.

"Second sister-in-law, this is a hydrangea, don't look at it now, it's very ordinary, nothing special, and when it blooms for a while, you'll know how beautiful it is." Huo Yujue's expression was full of excitement.

"Hydrangeas? What a nice name, when I was at home before, my father also liked to raise flowers and grass, and I would often help him water and fertilize the flowers and plants, how to ...... I've never seen this hydrangea before, have I? Xiang Wanqing asked.

The old lady's "agreement" made her eliminate her previous hatred for her father, so when she mentions her father now, she feels intimacy, after all, blood is thicker than water, and the father and daughter are broken bones and tendons, even if there is hatred, it is born of love.

Huo Yujue seemed to have guessed that Xiang Wanqing would ask this, so he replied: "Haha, that's right, second sister-in-law, this kind of flower is rare in our side, because my mother likes flowers very much, so I specially asked someone to get it from other places, it is said that there were only a few branches at the beginning, and because my mother cultivated it properly, the breeding ground is getting better and better, more and more." ”

"Oh, I see, no wonder."

At this time, Huo Yujue got up and went outside the house to get a watering can, sprinkled water all over the plant, and saw that under the moisture of the water droplets, the plant seemed to be rejuvenated, the leaves were more verdant, the branches and buds were more fresh, and the budding flower bones were more delicate.

Xiang Wanqing looked at this potted plant at this time, and suddenly felt a strong vitality and full of vitality, and her slightly pale face seemed to slowly return to blood, blooming with a unique brilliance.

Huo Yujue brought a small shovel to loosen the soil for the plants, and put a little fertilizer he brought over into the soil.

And the scene in front of her made Xiang Wanqing feel very kind, the picture of Huo Yujue serving potted plants was shifted and magnified by her, and she remembered her previous life in her mother's house.

At that time, after school, she and her younger siblings often went to work in the fields with their father, turning the soil, fertilizing, watering, and picking these things were very familiar and good for her, and I still remember that at that time, she and her younger siblings would occasionally complain that the work was dirty and tiring, and they would sometimes joke that they longed for a comfortable and comfortable life in a rich family.

But now she knows how happy she was in the past, to be with her relatives, to be able to go to school, to be happy and happy every day, even if she does hard and tiring work, even if she eats badly and dresses badly, her heart is sweet, and the smile on her face is real.

"Second sister-in-law," Huo Yujue saw that Xiang Wanqing was distracted, and hurriedly called her: "Second sister-in-law, what are you thinking?" ”

Xiang Wanqing came back to her senses: "Oh, it's nothing, I ...... Reminds me of something from the past. ”

"Homesick, right?" Huo Yujue asked.

Xiang Wanqing nodded, Huo Yujue is a good person, and there are some things that she doesn't need to hide in front of him.

"When you go back and the house is stable, you tell your mother, I think she will agree to let you go home and have a look." Huo Yujue said again: "Or, I'll help you talk to your mother when the time comes." ”

"Hmm." Xiang Wanqing smiled, she was really homesick, she missed her father and younger brothers and sisters, she hadn't seen them for nearly ten days, and she didn't know if they were doing well after she left.

Huo Yujue understands Xiang Wanqing very well, although he is not a woman himself, he doesn't have to experience such a thing as getting married in his life, but don't forget, he left home and went to a distant place since he was a child.

For so many years, every day when he missed his hometown and relatives in a different place, every night when he was tormented by the longing and longing for home, he knew better than anyone else, and he had the most right to speak.

In order to divert Xiang Wanqing's thoughts and dilute her longing for home, Huo Yujue thought for a while and said, "Second sister-in-law, do you know what the flower language of hydrangea is?" ”

"Flower language?" Sure enough, Xiang Wanqing's attention was diverted, she heard this word for the first time in her life, and she couldn't help but feel very fresh, so she asked curiously: "What is ...... Flower language? ”

But seeing Huo Yujue purse his lips and smile, he knew that Xiang Wanqing didn't understand this, and this was actually the real purpose of giving this gift to her.

"Second sister-in-law, there are countless kinds of flowers in the world, in fact, each flower is not just a flower, they are also endowed with some unique meaning and symbol by human beings, and this kind of meaning and symbol is called flower language, or it can also be said that it is the language of people to express themselves and express their emotions and desires through flowers."

"Really? It's the first time I've heard this when I'm so big, and every flower has its own ...... Flower language? Xiang Wanqing's expression was still full of novelty and a little excitement.

I only listened to Huo Yujue continue to introduce: "Yes, every flower has its own flower language, for example, the flower language of chrysanthemum is noble, the flower language of plum blossom is arrogant, the flower language of peony is wealth, and the flower language of daffodils is respect...... And the flower language of hydrangea is hope and longing. ”

In the past, Xiang Wanqing only knew that the role of flowers was for people to enjoy, and the variety of colorful flowers was pleasing to the eye and brought people a good mood, but until today she didn't know that flowers still had such a meaning.

"Chrysanthemums are noble, plum blossoms are proud, peonies are rich, narcissus are respectful, and hydrangeas are ...... hope and longing," Xiang Wanqing couldn't help but repeat.

"That's right," Huo Yujue looked at the pot of hydrangea plants, turned to Xiang Wanqing and continued,

"Second sister-in-law, the reason why I give this hydrangea to you as a gift is that I hope that no matter what kind of environment you are in now or in the future: good times, adversity, predicament and even danger, you will not be discouraged, negative, and not intimidated by difficulties, but can always have hope in your heart, look forward to the future, and then be happy every day."

Xiang Wanqing silently recited Huo Yujue's words in her heart: "No matter what kind of environment you are in, you can always have hope and look forward to the future in your heart, and don't be intimidated by difficulties......"

Inadvertently, I saw the corners of her lips curled, her eyes bent down, they outlined a very beautiful arc, and her long eyelashes flickered and blinked, her face changed from white to puffy, and a smile gradually spread from her cheeks.

Huo Yujue's words swept away the haze in Xiang Wanqing's heart due to Ning Jinxiu, and her spirit perked up again.

"Thank you, Yujue." She said to him sincerely.

And seeing the change in Xiang Wanqing's mood, this is exactly what Huo Yujue was looking forward to, at this time, his eyes also flashed with a kind of brilliance, clear and clear, it was not in vain to ask his mother for this potted plant, he thought.

Then, Huo Yujue told Xiang Wanqing about some matters that need to be paid attention to in the cultivation of potted hydrangeas, he spoke very carefully, Xiang Wanqing also listened very carefully, a breeze blew from the window, the leaves of the hydrangea were gently blowing, and the air in the room was very fresh and pleasant.
