Chapter 346 346. Summer Scene
The sweet aroma penetrated into his nose. Father Chen's throat rolled, but he still had a cold face:
“You, and mom, both of you stand here for me, you can only watch but not eat. So—”
“You live a very luxurious life now. How much salary do you have to buy watermelon worth 20 yuan per catty? We don’t have a wealthy family that can afford that.”
"Mom, what about you? The doctor has warned you not to eat sugary things, but you still eat half a watermelon at once. You don't take your life seriously at all!"
He took out a spoon and dug hard into the heart of the melon. A ball of crispy red melon flesh was bitten off in one bite!
Hmm!
Dad Chen’s expression froze.
The old lady's face was filled with longing, and she couldn't help but swallow again. In fact, the person who ate half of the melon just now was quite full, but he was still hungry.
Chen Yunyun sneered and said loudly: "It's all my fault for my extravagant style. I shouldn't have bought a melon for 20 yuan per catty! I'll just forget about the melons sold at the stalls for two yuan per catty."
Dad Chen put down the spoon and looked serious:
"Little girl, it's okay to spend more money. Come on, come on, how much money you spent on melons, dad will reimburse you."
As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone to transfer money, and then warned: "I'll buy it next time I see you!"
Chen Yunyun snorted: "Our family is not a family that can afford this kind of luxury."
“Nonsense.”
Chen's father glared at her: "What does dad make money for? Just so that you can enjoy life. I have struggled for so many years, and my daughter wants to eat something good. Why can't she?"
"purchase!!"
…
That night, I don’t know how many families were satisfied and miserable because of this melon.
At Song Tan, it’s another busy day—
Today I want to ask someone to give fruit to the peach trees.
There are many peach blossoms in bloom, and the fruits underneath are so densely packed that there are as many as three, five or six in one place.
It looks quite rare, but if you want the fruits to grow plump and big, you can only selectively pick some in advance.
No, today we are inviting people from the village again.
However, there were melon vines and watermelons underneath, so everyone walked extra carefully.
Fortunately, it doesn't matter if the progress is a little slower. After all, the harvesting should have started long ago. They delayed it until now because they wanted to make these small green peaches grow bigger.
Although we haven’t tasted the taste of pickled green peaches yet, since the seventh cousin said it was delicious, everyone’s mouths watered when they thought about the taste of those things in the past.
This morning is also the day when Brother Zhang comes to pack goods as usual.
When Song Tan saw him coming, he quickly took out 6 watermelons from the room: "Come on, come on, are you ready with the packing box I told you about? These watermelons must be packed well."
Brother Zhang couldn't help but said: "I'm ready, but watermelons...you can't buy anything in the imperial capital, and they can grab a lot of imported ones!"
Song Tan simply stuffed him with a piece: "It's just cut, you can try it."
Brother Zhang:…
He sniffed, ate in silence, and said nothing more.
On the other hand, Zhang Yanping came back with a basket of green peaches. When he saw this, he couldn't help but wonder: "Tan Tan, didn't you go to the city to deliver goods yesterday? Why didn't you bring this watermelon with you?"
“That’s not a good deal!” Song Tan said confidently:
Zhang Yanping:…
She is indeed his sister. Those who know her know that she is your savior in the imperial capital. Those who don’t know may think she is a fussy customer! Even if you send a courier, you still need to pay for it.
Lu Chuan didn’t know that he had another surprise on the way. He was standing on the terrace, looking at the pots of roses, and he was filled with wonder—
Chinese rose is also known as medicine jar.
White powder, black spots, aphids, thrips, and red spiders, if you don’t get a little of each, it doesn’t seem to be called a rose! Spider mites, in particular, are the lifelong enemy of every flower grower.
Even if he takes good care of it and has good ventilation, there will still be dense spider mite larvae on the rose leaves in summer.
Therefore, every summer evening, routine spraying of pesticides on the terrace is indispensable.
But now…
He carefully turned over the leaves again: It has been more than a week since the last spraying, why is there no sign of it now? Obviously I saw some slight marks a few days ago!
Not only this pot, but almost all the roses are extremely healthy, not to mention other flowers, and there is no sign of any insect damage.
Even the small black flies that occasionally flew around the edge of the potted soil are now gone.
Lu Chuan thought about it and finally set his sights on the big bucket in the corner.
In a large plastic bucket, I saw a bunch of cut tobacco that had been soaked until it turned brown and was sinking at the bottom of the bucket. The water in which it was soaked was only slightly yellow.
After all, I have been watering frequently in the past few days, and I have changed a lot of water. Now that it has color, this tobacco is quite resistant to soaking.
He couldn't help but feel a little moved when he thought about how not a single mosquito had been seen since he put a dish of dried tobacco in the bedroom.
The yellow woody incense and windmill jasmine on the shelf next to it are intertwined, and the fragrance and cascading petals are piled up like clouds.
The Madagascar jasmine climbing along the molding frame in the corner, with its shy white flowers hidden among the oily green leaves, is like a pure bride coming from afar.
Looking at the rooftop, the rose hydrangea amaryllis blooms in colorful and enthusiastic blooms. It is really a rare and colorful scene without any diseases and insect pests.
He thought for a while, and finally took out his mobile phone to make an appointment for door-to-door courier delivery.
Then he carefully selected flowers of all colors, avoiding only the bright red roses.
Finally, it is combined into a beautiful and colorful bouquet of flowers. And trim the small thorns at the bottom, wrap some water, and then wrap it again -
Having received many gifts and having nothing to repay, let me give this summer scene to the little girl.
It also puts the other person's mind at ease. After all, those who have the leisure time to grow flowers must have no problem.
If you have the chance, you must go to her hometown to see what kind of place with outstanding people can produce such simple people and such outstanding fruits and vegetables...
As for those tobacco pipes…
He thought with satisfaction and happiness: This summer, these flowers will all depend on it!
…
In another part of the imperial capital, several elderly people also received a box of express delivery.
Heavy.
The person following him stretched out his hand: "I'll do it."
"No, you young man has no principles! Give it to people if they want it. This thing must be in my hands to feel at ease."
The young man next to him said that his face was red and he was particularly embarrassed - everyone here was the one he had to take care of, and he was not the only one. He is so old, and if he comes to **** it away, can he still hold on to it?
The young man feels wronged, but the young man cannot say anything.
Beside him, Lao Zhu, who was holding the express delivery, was so proud of himself that he took steps like he didn't recognize his relatives.
Good night Chichititi.
