【005】The mountain wildflowers are splendid
Zuo Xiaomu politely declined the suggestions of these well-wishers, and repeatedly explained that he was a guest of the Vanilla family.
When Vanilla and Xu Qian came back, they saw a few people around him talking something.
Vanilla has a good eye and keeps a small part of the fresh vegetables and other local products given by the eldest sister's family to herself, and divides the rest among the neighbors. Because I didn't know how to reply to the BB machine number, I had to call Zuo Xiaomu to call the grocery store and ask.
She secretly guessed that this message was sent by Brother Zhong Kui, and she really missed him in her heart. Therefore, I was very anxious to know his situation, and I didn't know how to call, so I could only stand aside and watch Zuo Xiaomu pick up the phone and dial the number over there.
It was a female voice who answered the phone, and Zuo Xiaomu hesitated to give the phone to Vanilla. Covering the microphone, he made a very mysterious appearance and said to Vanilla: "It's okay, it seems that your sister-in-law called." ”
In Vanilla's heart, Ran Qin is her sister-in-law.
told Zuo Xiaomu on the phone that Liu Wengen was back, and hoped that Vanilla would have time to take a look, and send Xu Qian to Xu's house by the way. It was Xu Jing who answered the phone over there, and she also wondered why a man answered the phone.
Zuo Xiaomu covered the microphone to talk to the other side.
Vanilla, who was standing next to her, didn't hear what he said.
Zuo Xiaomu put down the phone, shrugged his shoulders, looked at Vanilla with a very happy expression and said, "It's okay, your brother is okay!" He's just going to call you what chrysanthemums to pick to dry, and he'll be back after a while. ”
With a disappointed expression, he reluctantly glanced at the cellular telephone. Vanilla said, "...... Oh...... I see, it's the end of May, and the wild chrysanthemums on the mountain are bearing fruit. After bearing fruit, it will not bloom until next spring. My brother means to let more wild chrysanthemums be picked to dry, used for storage, convenient for soaking in water, boiling soup or something, it's good, this kind of wild chrysanthemum is very effective in detoxification. ”
"Really, I'll pick it too." After hearing Vanilla's words, Zuo Xiaomu pretended to be surprised. Secretly breathed a sigh of relief, a trace of sly look slipped through his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were gently raised, with a shallow smile.
Vanilla was still thinking about the phone, but she didn't hear Zhong Kuige's voice in person, and she felt a little lost in her heart. Distracted for a while, he didn't reply to Zuo Xiaomu's words, and hurriedly walked forward, lowering his head slightly, glancing at his face from the corner of his eye, not knowing how happy he was.
"What did you just do? So many people are looking around you? Vanilla wanted to divert the topic to hide the discomfort in her heart, she was accompanied by Xu Qian and them on weekdays, but she didn't feel that there was anything wrong there, but once she heard the news of Brother Zhong Kui, she couldn't speak to him due to conditions. The nose was sour for no reason, and the inexplicable sense of loss was entangled in my heart.
Zuo Xiaomu laughed twice: "Hi~Hi~ It's not that it's too long in the daylight to mix!" It's boring, so I'm just out there and messing around. ”
Vanilla glanced up at the clear blue sky and smiled, "Well, the days are longer than the nights now, and this phenomenon will continue until the winter solstice." ”
"Oh! Does this depend on the climate? "On the topic of climate and seasons, Zuo Xiaomu is not pretending, he really doesn't understand.
"It's not the climate, it's the seasonal changes, we have such a seasonal proverb that says: "Spring equinox and autumn equinox, day and night equinox", "After eating the spring equinox, the day grows a line" means that the crops planted in the field will thrive under the watering of the spring rain. As a result, the climate changes slightly, and from this day on, the direct sunlight gradually shifts northward, and the daylight in the Northern Hemisphere seems to be getting longer. ”
Zuo Xiaomu didn't expect that vanilla came from the countryside and knew so much.
Looking at the other party's inquiring gaze, Vanilla smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, these are all taught to me by my sister Ran Qin, and I don't know anything about the Northern Hemisphere." ”
"No wonder, your sister Ran Qin is really a talented girl."
"It's not just a talented girl, she's a majestic female police officer."
"Know" Zuo Xiaomu deeply admired Ran Qin's unique temperament in all aspects. Including a keen sense of thinking and analysis, the inscrutable psychological detection technique has already been taught. At the moment, the topic is here, and the only thing he can do is secretly rejoice, and the farther away from her is the better.
When I arrived at the store, it was still early before nightfall. There was no special business in the store, and Vanilla planned to go to the mountains to pick wild chrysanthemums, and promised to take Xu Qian with her, and she must return to the store before nightfall.
With the initial fright, this time I went to the nearby mountains, and Vanilla had an extra heart. She brought a wooden sword made of peach wood when she was okay on weekdays, and when she went out, Zuo Xiaomu felt that she was making a fuss, that is, going for two hours, why should she bring something to prevent ghosts.
As soon as he saw these things that had something to do with ghosts, he felt uneasy and disgusted!
Vanilla would not listen to him, so she took the wooden sword as usual, took the big basket on her back, and led the two of them to the mountain.
The three of them walked on the nearest hill, and after walking up the hill, the red sun had slipped to the west. The mountain is really cool, the breeze is blowing, everything is shaking, and the clothes that have just climbed the mountain and are soaked with sweat are dried in an instant under the blowing of the wind.
As far as the eye can see, there are a lot of wildflowers and wild flowers here: in the woods, in the grass, on the river beach, on the hillside, on the edge of the ridge, on the edge of the cliff, those wild flowers that bloom frankly and wildly, you name it. The clusters of purple wild chrysanthemums highlight the elegant and fresh beauty under the reflection of the setting sun.
Xu Qian was very excited, and after a while, she picked a large handful in her hand. The dancing butterflies, white and colorful, with one eye on each wing, caught her eye. Chase all the way, and beware of stumbling vines.
Vanilla carried the basket on her back, although her hands and feet were numb, but she couldn't keep an eye on Xu Qian's traces.
Xu Qian disappeared in a flash, she must have gone chasing butterflies.
Vanilla just told Xu Qian not to go too far, and she must meet here when the sun sets. Just when she was hesitant to shout at Xu Qian, she saw Zuo Xiaomu, holding a large handful of alternative wildflowers in her hand, walking towards her with great interest.
"Where's Xu Qian?"
"Over there, she loves to catch butterflies."
"Oh!" Agreed, looking at the wildflowers in the other party's hands, this is a handful of wild carnations. Carnations are world-famous flowers, because the double-petaled carnation petals tightly surround the stamens, just like a mother caring for her child intimately.
“…… Can I give it to you? Zuo Xiaomu looked directly into the other party's eyes and said very bluntly: "In my mother's generation, women were not respected accordingly, but I think women are the foundation of human evolution, worthy of respect, I will give you this bouquet of flowers to show my love for you."
