Volume 2 Summer Chapter 24 Jasmine

The sunflower seeds were quickly mailed to the store, and Master Xu, who was driving the tractor, asked three relatives to help with the seeds, and Qin Yao also insisted on coming together. According to the principle of low in the south and high in the north, the seven sunflowers are roughly divided into seven pieces, and the five people use the corn planter, and all the seeds are sown in less than one day.

On the way back, Qin Yao insisted on going to the farmhouse she went to last time, because she wanted to paint a morning glory. Helping Qin Yao set up a simple easel for sketching, Feng Chunxi stood quietly aside. The morning glory on the fence was very lush, and Qin Yao did not choose a large background for creation, but chose a vine growing in the corner with two small pink trumpets on it. One trumpet facing forward and one trumpet facing upwards is the main body of the whole painting.

After about an hour and a half, Qin Yao finally finished her morning glory sketch, and from the relaxed and satisfied expression on her face, it could be seen that she was very satisfied with the painting. Feng Chunxi wanted to invite Qin Yao to eat in the farmhouse again, but Qin Yao refused, because she wanted to go back as soon as possible and put the painting in a suitable place to dry. The two bought a few freshly picked cucumbers and tomatoes in the farmhouse, and returned to the city in Qin Yao's MINI.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the store, Feng Chunxi heard a nonsense inside arguing with a woman. This little girl is really not worry-free, Feng Chunxi hurriedly walked into the store. The woman looked to be twenty-six or seventeen years old, wearing a black suspender belt and a black leather skirt, with big wavy curly hair and heavy makeup, she looked a little characterful. Judging by her ruddy face and big tongue during the quarrel, she should have been drunk.

Seeing Feng Chunxi coming back, he preemptively complained: "Boss, you're back, this woman is messing around, if you don't come back, I'll have to call the police." ”

"You're the boss, what kind of shop are you, believe it or not, I called my eldest brother to come over and smash your shop." The drunken woman pinched her waist with one hand and pointed at Feng Chunxi with the other.

Feng Chunxi gave Hu Fu a look, signaled her not to speak, and then smiled at the drunk woman: "Hello lady, what can you tell me, this store is full of flower pots, and it's quite tiring to smash it." ”

"I just want to buy a pot of jasmine, why don't you sell it to me?" The drunken woman asked.

couldn't Feng Chunxi answer, he took a step forward and craned his neck in response: "Don't you understand what I'm saying?" I said it 800 times, there is no jasmine, there is no jasmine! ”

Feng Chunxi realized that the drunk woman was angry because she didn't buy jasmine. Jasmine is a potted flower with a long history, and the floral fragrance is very strong, and northerners like jasmine tea even when they drink tea. Nowadays, there are very few jasmine flowers sold in green plant stores, and many new varieties have emerged to replace traditional bonsai. Second, most of the people who like jasmine are some elderly flower friends, who like to cut their own cuttings and do not need to buy them. The third reason is that the petals of jasmine are easy to fall off when they are carried. Online stores and large wholesale green markets sell this kind of flower.

"Ma'am, we don't have jasmine in the store, or you should look at something else. It's a good time to buy a pot of hibiscus, margarita or goldfish hanging basket at this time of year to bloom until autumn. Feng Chunxi continued to persuade.

"No, I'm going to want Jasmine, because my name is Jasmine, not Mary, and not a fucking goldfish!" The drunken woman shook her head vigorously and shouted.

"Okay, Jasmine, you don't have to buy it for you. You come over tomorrow afternoon, and I'll give it to you, okay? ”

Knowing that the drunken woman's original name was Jasmine, Feng Chunxi seemed to feel the other party's depressed mood and decided to help her get a pot of jasmine. However, instead of going to the wholesale market, I went to find the flower friend Lao Wutou. Lao Wu Tou is a flower lover, often come to the store to exchange experience with Feng Chunxi, he never buys flowers, all the green plants are given by friends, and he also likes to share his flower branch cuttings with others. Old Wu Tou has at least two pots of jasmine there, both of which are old piles that he has raised for many years.

"If I can't do it tomorrow, I want it today!"

"But it's getting dark, and tomorrow I'll give you a pot of the prettiest jasmine." Feng Chunxi solemnly promised, hoping to give the drunk woman some comfort.

"But yes, only today is my birthday." After saying that, the drunken woman began to cry and cried until she sobbed.

was originally a menacing nonsense, seeing the drunk woman crying so sadly, she lost her temper, took out a tissue from her bag and handed it to her, but she didn't know how to comfort her.

Feng Chunxi is also not good at comforting people, looking at the sky, the sun has completely set. Usually Lao Wu Tou sits in the store, and the two do not leave each other's contact information, and even his big name does not know anything. After hesitating for a moment, Feng Chunxi still said to the drunk woman: "You wait for me in the store, I'll go find jasmine for you!" ”

The places that the elderly often go to after dinner are parks and squares, Feng Chunxi ran to the small square as fast as he could, and glanced through the team of square dancers and tai chi, but did not find the old Wu Tou. In the park, the elderly people walking around the bend were in twos and threes, Feng Chunxi looked at them one by one, and an aunt was uncomfortable with him and glared at him fiercely. All the roads and paths in the park, including the pavilion suitable for romance, Feng Chunxi walked all over, but did not find the figure of Lao Wutou.

Feng Chunxi was a little disappointed, because he didn't want to disappoint the crying woman, and he could feel her grievances. On the way back, Feng Chunxi continued to pay attention to the passing crowd, looking forward to meeting Lao Wu Tou at a certain intersection.

When passing by a chess and card room, Feng Chunxi casually glanced inside, and it was not Lao Wu Tou who was happy to crack his mouth. Feng Chunxi was both surprised and surprised, the surprise was that he successfully found Lao Wutou, and the surprise was that this elegant old man who raised flowers and walked birds all day long also loved mahjong.

didn't have time to think about it, Feng Chunxi rushed into the chess and card room, pulled Lao Wu and walked out, regardless of his resistance. There were also curses from a few aunts behind him: "Why don't you leave if you win money, there is no gambling old thing!" ”

Old Wu Tou, who was originally angry because he was pulled away from the card table by Feng Chunxi, heard that there was a girl named Jasmine who wanted a jasmine flower for her birthday today, and immediately became interested and accelerated her pace to go home.

Old flower friends like Lao Wu Tou still like to use the most traditional red tile pots, which have good water retention and air permeability. The buds of both pots of jasmine were already halfway open, and the room was filled with the fragrance of jasmine. In order to prevent the wind from blowing the petals off, Lao Wu Tou found a box of health care products, put a pot of jasmine in it, and let Feng Chunxi carry it to the store.

Feng Chunxi thanked Lao Wu Tou, and walked in the direction of Chunxi Gardening Store with jasmine, Lao Wu Tou insisted on following, saying that he wanted to meet this woman called "Jasmine" to see if it was as beautiful and fragrant as Jasmine.

Recalling the drunken woman's appearance of heavy makeup and the strong smell of perfume, I thought that Lao Wu Tou was probably going to be disappointed, he would see a different beauty from jasmine and smell a different fragrance.
