Volume 1 Spring Chapter 3 Sorrel

Since he came out, Feng Chunxi has only made a cat friend with Lemon, and has never made friends with anyone. Most of my childhood playmates have gone out to work hard, and the neighbors in the original alley have almost moved due to the renovation of the old city. Feng Chunxi's only connection with the past is this Chunxi gardening shop. Until the appearance of a person makes childhood memories clearer.

That day, Feng Chunxi took advantage of the afternoon to prune the branches and leaves of large green plants. A girl with yellow hair on her head, dark blue jeans and a black leather jacket walks into the store. Feng Chunxi casually said "Welcome", and the scissors in his hand did not stop.

"Boss, is there any sorrel?" The yellow-haired girl asked Feng Chunxi.

"There's a pot over there, and I just came in the past two days." Feng Chunxi pointed to a pot of purple-leaved sorrel near the windowsill.

Purple-leaved sorrel is a very popular small potted plant in recent years, low maintenance difficulty, different from ordinary sorrel, its leaf shape is more beautiful, the leaves are larger and bright purple-red, like a butterfly with wings about to fly, so people prefer to call it "purple butterfly". It blooms in spring, summer and autumn, and the small pink petals are also small and cute.

"It's not this, I want the kind I can eat!" As she spoke, the yellow-haired girl walked straight to a pot of cactus, pulled out a green leaf from the pot and put it directly into her mouth, chewing it as if she were eating potato chips. She eats an sorrel with small yellow flowers. When I was a child, I had potted plants such as cacti at home, and I should have seen them all. That sorrel will always grow out of the pot on its own and reproduce quickly. It has a sour taste and is often eaten as a snack by children.

Feng Chunxi was shocked by the yellow-haired girl's actions, stood up to look at her, and found that the person in front of him was a little familiar.

"Brother Chunxi, don't you know me?" The yellow-haired girl smiled mischievously at Feng Chunxi.

"Snow?" Feng Chunxi couldn't believe that the yellow hair in front of him was Bai Xue, Feng Chunxi's neighbor when he was a child.

"It's me, when did you come out and don't say hello?" As she spoke, Bai Xue pulled off another sorrel and put it in her mouth.

"Half a year, I thought you all moved away." Feng Chunxi explained. Bai Xue followed Feng Chunxi's ass all day long when she was a child, and now that she has grown so big, Feng Chunxi didn't know how to face it for a while, and she was a little embarrassed.

"I'll go home first, bring some food in the evening, and let's have a drink." After speaking, Bai Xue waved his hand and left.

When she was a child, Bai Xue looked quiet, had excellent grades, and sang very well, and she was simply a child of other people's families in the mouths of adults. She also liked flowers at that time, and every day after school, she went to Feng Chunxi's house to do her homework, pestering Feng Chunxi to take her to play. Once Bai Xue saw the story about four-leaf clover on TV, and thought that the sorrel was the four-leaf clover, so they went to Feng Chunxi's flower pot to look for it, eating it while looking for it, and vowed to find the four-leaf sorrel, because they all wanted to make a wish on the four-leaf clover. Bai Xue's wish is to be a singer when she grows up. And Feng Chunxi's wish is to hope that her mother can go home.

In the evening, Bai Xue really bought a skewer and came to the store, and Feng Chunxi went to a nearby convenience store to bring a case of beer. The two of them drank on Feng Chunxi's workbench. Bai Xue's amount of alcohol is very good, and he raises his hand to have a glass, and during this period, he keeps smoking. Feng Chunxi was very rebellious before the accident, and he definitely wanted to smoke in order to be cool, but he didn't smoke inside, so he naturally quit, and now he doesn't smoke anymore.

Bai Xue asked Feng Chunxi how his life was inside, Feng Chunxi didn't want to mention it, but simply said that working inside was harder than going to school. Feng Chunxi asked Bai Xue what she was doing now and if she still sang?

Three bottles of beer were in the stomach, and Feng Chunxi had a basic understanding. In the second year of junior high school, more than a year after Feng Chunxi's accident, Bai Xue's parents also divorced. At first, the two of them fought for the custody of Bai Xue, and later both of them formed a new family, and Bai Xue became redundant, so she had to move to the suburbs to live with her grandmother. After high school, I started to mingle with people outside the school, not only smoked, got into fights, but also got pregnant, and then dropped out of school.

Now Bai Xue sings in a bar in the city. I usually rent an apartment near a bar with my friends, and occasionally go home to live in a resettlement house for a few days. Although she couldn't go to the conservatory, Bai Xue's current identity is also a singer, and she is quite satisfied.

"Bang bang." Feng Chunxi and Bai Xue were drinking happily, when someone suddenly knocked on the roller shutter door, startling the two of them.

"Who the fuck can't you see it's closed?" Feng Chunxi didn't know if Bai Xue was drinking too much and burst into a foul mouth, or if she was usually like this, Feng Chunxi only knew that she didn't swear when she was a child.

"You drink, I'll take a look." Feng Chunxi pulled Bai Xue's arm and pressed the roller shutter door with the remote control. As soon as the door opened, a yellow figure entered. It turned out that it was the smell of meat that attracted this gluttonous cat.

"Lemon, why are you here?" Feng Chunxi just wanted to say hello to Da Tangerine, but Bai Xue spoke first.

"You know this cat?"

"This is the cat in our community, called Lemon, why did you come here?"

"In the last month or two, he often came to my store, and he thought it was a stray cat, but it turned out to be called Lemon." Feng Chunxi explained.

Lemon seemed to understand what people were talking about and meowed twice in response. Feng Chunxi stroked a bunch of fat and wanted to feed it, but was stopped by Bai Xue.

"You can't feed it this, human seasoning will hurt its kidneys." As she spoke, Bai Xue rinsed a piece of chicken head with water, put it in a bowl and handed it to the lemon. It was the bowl that Feng Chunxi usually used to cook noodles.

Lemon feasted on the bowl as she tilted her neck to accept the snow tickling it, a purring sound coming out of her mouth. Feng Chunxi didn't understand how it managed to snore while eating, but Feng Chunxi could see that it had a better relationship with Bai Xue than with Feng Chunxi.

"Do you want to adopt it?" Bai Xue squatted on the ground and tickled the lemon, and her head didn't look back.

"What?" Feng Chunxi didn't understand what Bai Xue meant, wasn't this the cat in their community? Then there should be a master.

"Its little owner is sick, and the family can't take care of the lemon, otherwise it wouldn't come to you to find food, and what you can eat here won't be much better than a garbage can."

"What disease, is it serious?" Of course, Feng Chunxi didn't care about people he didn't know, but just asked habitually.

"A little boy from one of our neighborhoods, I met a few times when I was swinging. I heard that something grew in my head, which is quite serious. Shirayuki stood up and returned to her seat.

Feng Chunxi didn't know what to say, so he just let out an "oh" and drank the beer in the cup in one gulp.

"I'll bring some cat food tomorrow, and if lemon comes, you can feed it more." Seeing that Feng Chunxi didn't say anything, Bai Xue continued.

"I'll naturally feed it when it comes, and if I need to feed cat food, I'll just buy it when I go to buy it tomorrow."

Although Feng Chunxi likes cats very much, he doesn't know how to take care of a cat, and he eats very perfunctory every day, so he really wants to raise it Feng Chunxi is not mentally prepared. Lemon occasionally comes as a guest, and Feng Chunxi treats it like a friend, which may be the best relationship between them.

"Really, this cat is not mine, why did I want to send you instead of the owner? Leave it alone, drink. Bai Xue swept away the melancholy on her face, returned to the chic expression of a little sister, clinked glasses with Feng Chunxi, and drank it in a big gulp.

Lemon was full of food and drink, and this time she didn't grab the rattan chair with Feng Chunxi, but ran to a gap on the first floor of the trellis to rest on her stomach. Feng Chunxi looked at the sensible lemon, and felt like an old friend of Feng Chunxi. Yes, how many friends does Feng Chunxi have in this world?

"If its owner agrees, let me adopt the lemon!" Feng Chunxi said.
