Just two days after Shang Ming left, the strawberries that Shang Jin had cultivated with care finally grew buds.
It was a sunny day, Shang Jin opened his eyes, got off the bed, went to the windowsill while squeezing toothpaste, picked up the wide leaves at the top, and a few small flower buds that had been hidden in the shadows emerged. Jin was overjoyed, put the toothbrush aside, and searched under each leaf. Unfortunately, this strawberry only had so many three or five buds.
Shang Jin walked to the sink and quickly finished washing up, and took a picture of the first buds of strawberry seedlings with his mobile phone.
"What are you doing?" Ye Zhou appeared behind him, the leaves of his strawberry seedlings were so big that they almost covered the 10-centimeter small pot, "I just said that I seem to have forgotten something in the past two days. , it should be replaced."
"I have a lot of pots that I put under the table, and there is still soil in them." On the day when Shang Jin transplanted strawberries, he wanted to help Ye Zhou's strawberry seedlings be replaced together, but he remembered that Ye Zhou was sending him strawberries. It was not easy to intervene in the game that was mentioned at that time. However, when buying a pot, he helped Ye Zhou to buy one more. He was worried that Ye Zhou would have a burden to put it away. Shang Jin said, "Buy one get one free, don't give up."
Ye Zhou chuckled and didn't dismantle him, "That saves me."
"My strawberries are budding."
"What?" Ye Zhou was half-squatting on the windowsill, looking at Shang Jin's strawberry seedlings. Sure enough, there were a few small flower buds hidden under the leaves. After seeing Ye Zhou, he quickly turned his pot upside down. Leaves, stunned, there is no sign of long buds. Ye Zhou began to reflect on himself, and indeed he paid too little attention to strawberry seedlings. Although the strawberry seedlings are growing vigorously, what is the use of growing leaves. He grows strawberries, and he does not buy potted foliage plants. It is a step slower in flowering, and the result must be behind Shang Jin. In the end, it was because he was too careless. He clearly proposed the game, but only Shang Jin took it to heart.
Ye Zhou didn't hesitate, took out Shang Jinduo's pot, spread a piece of newspaper on the ground, and carefully transplanted the strawberry seedlings, reducing the aging leaves, and the strawberry seedlings were neatly arranged.
Shang Jin counted the time, and the blossoms showed that the result was close.
Strawberries are grown in the dormitory, and on the fourth floor, there are few bees and butterflies. If you want to grow better fruit, you still have to rely on artificial pollination. Shang Jin found the method of artificial pollination in the book, and bought a wool brush specially. Even if the soft wool pollinates the fragile flowers, it will not cause harm to them.
Zhou Wendao came to visit once and was stunned when he saw the series of tools that Shang Jin bought for this strawberry, and he said to Ye Zhou secretly: "Shang Jin's gift to you is really good, he bought it. I don’t know how many strawberries I can buy with this pile of tools.”
This also indirectly shows the level of intention of the other party. Ye Zhou was somber, and said with disdain: "I said that the most important thing for gifts is intention, how can a layman like you understand."
Shang Jin didn't know what they were talking about, so he flipped through the calendar and estimated that strawberries should be born in a month.
And a month later... Just as Ye Zhou remembered Shang Jin's birthday during the ticket check, Shang Jin also remembered Ye Zhou's. I left an impression vaguely, and then at a special time, I suddenly remembered.
Shang Jin had a good idea, but the plan couldn't keep up with the changes.
In mid-May, Qin Fei's stomach was so big that she might give birth at any time.
This matter originally had little to do with Shang Jin. As early as when Qin Fei was inconvenient, the family not only hired an extra nanny, but Qin Fei's mother also lived at home to take care of Qin Fei, even if Qin Fei really wanted to have a child , he should still eat and drink, and at most go to see the new born baby after giving birth. The rest didn't need him to worry about it at all.
The bad thing is that the obedient Shang Youyou doesn't know why she has become "rebellious". Qin Fei can't take care of herself. In addition, she is going to the hospital for an obstetric checkup this Saturday. Shang Youyou has been sensitive to the nanny recently, so she asked Shang Jin. Come back and take care of Shang Youyou.
Early in the morning, when everyone else in the dormitory was still asleep, Shang Jin opened his eyes and got out of bed lightly.
He pushed aside the leaves, and a small white flower bloomed quietly in the rising sun.
After taking care of it for so long, I have put a lot of energy into this strawberry. The moment I saw the bloom, I felt that all the hard work was worth it.
Maybe this is what Ye Zhou said about the sense of satisfaction...
"Wake up so early." Ye Zhou's voice was hoarse when he just woke up. He squinted and looked at Shang Jin in front of the windowsill. Chaoyang cast a soft light on Shang Jin's body, Shang Jin turned his head, lightly He smiled and said, "It's blooming."
At this moment, Ye Zhou's heart was pounding, and he felt that not only Shang Jin's strawberries were blooming, but flowers were blooming in the air. He coughed lightly, eased his unsteady heartbeat, forced himself to get out of bed calmly, walked over to Shang Jin and glanced at the little white flower, but did not dare to look directly into Shang Jin's eyes, he touched the petals and sighed: "It's so beautiful. ."
It's just that this sentence is whether it is a good-looking flower or a good-looking person, it is unknown.
Shang Jin simply packed up and hurried home.
Qin Fei and her mother were changing shoes at the entrance, and Shang Youyou was sitting on the sofa with a spherical doll in his arms.
Qin Feiqiang said with a smile: "Shang Jin, Yoyo will be handed over to you."
Shang Jin nodded and said, "Don't worry."
After Qin Fei left, Shang Jin changed his shoes and sat beside Shang Youyou. Shang Youyou called out to his brother, but he was still gloomy. In the past, Shang Youyou took the initiative to stick to it, but this time it was Shang Jin's turn to take the initiative, but he didn't know how to open the topic.
If only Ye Zhou was here at this time. He must be able to joke with a kind smile: "What is the unhappy thing about the lovely little princess, can you tell my brother."
But he is not Ye Zhou, and he cannot say these words.
"long."
Shang Youyou poked the ball-shaped doll's mouth with his hand, pretending to be very serious and ignoring Shang Jin.
Seemingly unreasonable, but all this abnormal is just to gain attention.
Shang Jin snorted, these are obviously negligence of parents, since the family wants to add new members, they don't do a good job of Shang Youyou's psychological work. When she was young, Shang Youyou didn't feel it. When Qin Fei's belly got bigger and bigger, she paid less and less attention to Shang Youyou. In the past, Shang Youyou taught her to be accommodating to her brother at home. To endure the younger brother or sister, in the final analysis, Shang Youyou is just a three-year-old child, and the uneasiness and grievance buried in her heart finally erupted before Qin Fei was about to give birth.
Shang Youyou shuddered, thinking that the impatient smacking sound of Shang Jin just now was at her, tears welled up in her eyes, she pursed her lips without making a sound, and pressed her body slowly against Shang Jin.
Looking at this reaction, I am afraid that Qin Fei and the others have reprimanded Shang Youyou a lot during this time.
Shang Jin held Shang Youyou on his lap, feeling her tears dripping on his wrist, "Yuyou don't cry."
After saying this, Shang Youyou cried even more. She choked softly, and kept wiping tears with her sleeves. She held Shang Jin's clothes tightly with her empty hands, lest if she loosened it, Shang Jin would also leave. She goes.
Shang Jin touched Shang Youyou's little head and said softly, "Don't cry, my brother is here."
Shang Youyou finally couldn't help crying while hugging his neck, "Dad is not at home, mom ignores me, grandma keeps telling me, and my brother isn't here either..." Because of her young age, she couldn't say anything specific, so she went back and forth. Just these few words.
When Shang Youyou cried enough, Shang Jin patted her on the back lightly and comforted: "Brother is here."
Shang Jin is not very good at comforting people, but fortunately, Shang Youyou doesn't need comfort. He fell asleep soon after crying. He carried Shang Youyou upstairs and sat beside her crib looking at the laptop.
At noon, Shang Youyou woke up, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Shang Jin beside her, she poked the back of Shang Jin's hand with her finger, Shang Jin shook her hand, and Shang Youyou squinted and smiled.
Shang Jin stayed at home for two days before returning to school by car on Sunday night.
"Is your little princess alright?" Ye Zhou knew about the situation at Shang Jin's family, such a well-behaved child, how much grievances he felt in his heart to vent in this way, it hurts to think about it.
Shang Jin said simply: "I cried, but I'll be fine soon."
"Next time you tell baby Yoyo, I learned a way to tie her hair online, and I will tie her hair next time."
Shang Jin teased: "Watch the video? What practice did you use?"
"You take care of me..." Actually, it was the last time I played in the school drama club. I saw the stylist move her fingers flexibly and quickly pulled out a simple and beautiful hairstyle. He was cheeky at the time and asked a stylist to learn Sister learned a trick and practiced it on the members of the drama club, because it was also teased by the members of the drama club.
Accompanying Shang Youyou for two days, although he didn't do any hard work, he spent a lot of energy. Shang Jin returned to the dormitory, took a shower, and then lay on the bed and fell asleep.
When he woke up the next morning, Shang Jin suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen strawberry seedlings for two days, and he wondered if the other flowers had bloomed.
Shang Jin got out of bed and walked to the window sill. What awaited him was not the spectacle of splendid flowers, but the miserable state of flowers and leaves falling into the pots.
The top leaves were missing a large mouth, and the broken leaves fell on the soil layer, and the small white flowers were also separated from the stems and leaves, lying quietly beside the broken leaves. And the strawberry seedlings next to Ye Zhou were not spared.
Shang Jin unconsciously clenched his fists, it was already too late for this strawberry to bloom, but it was still a disaster. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
