Today is already the third day that Su Xiaoxiao came to Lavender Manor. Her feet have also been swollen. This is thanks to the servants of Lavender Manor who prepared a new medicinal wine for her. It is said that it contains lavender ingredients.
That's why her feet healed so quickly. Su Xiaoxiao can stand up on her own without relying on the help of a servant. Although her feet still have some pain, it is much worse than the previous few days. She originally
She thought she would have to rest for at least a long time before she could walk freely. Unexpectedly, she started walking in less than four days.
Today's weather is particularly good. The bright sunshine shines on the lavender rolling like an ocean, reflecting the dreamlike and beautiful colors.
Su Xiaoxiao stood next to the lavender, closing her eyes slightly, loving the sweet smell. This was the first time she felt the strong lavender fragrance so clearly, it was so refreshing.
"Sister! Sister!" Just as Su Xiaoxiao was immersed in the strong fragrance of flowers, a little boy's childish voice sounded behind her.
Su Xiaoxiao hesitated slightly and slowly opened her eyes. Then she turned around and saw a fat little boy wearing overalls and shorts running towards her.
This little boy's name is Ajie, and he is the youngest son of the owner of the lavender manor. Today, the owner's family went out for business, but they left their youngest son behind. Su Xiaoxiao naturally had to shoulder the responsibility of taking care of Ajie.
Su Xiaoxiao knelt down, caught Ajie running over, gently stroked his shoulder, and said with a smile: "What's wrong, Ajie, why are you so flustered? What's the matter?"
As if something really happened, Ajie took Su Xiaoxiao's hand and said, "Sister! Sister! It's not good! Something happened to the lavender!"
Hearing what Ajie said, Su Xiaoxiao's face was startled, and then she quickly comforted Ajie and said, "Ajie, don't panic. Speak slowly and tell your sister what's going on. How could something happen?"
Ajie took Su Xiaoxiao's hand and said impatiently: "Sister, I don't know what's going on. Come and have a look." After saying that, Ajie wanted to force Xiaoxiao to move forward.
running to lavender fields.
Su Xiaoxiao had no choice but to follow Ajie and ran with him along the field stalks into the sea of lavender.
"Sister, this is it. Look, the lavender is almost dead!" Ajie took Su Xiaoxiao to the center of the lavender field, then stopped and pointed to a patch of lavender on the left and said uneasily.
Su Xiaoxiao quickly squatted down and observed the patch of lavender in front of her. Sure enough, the patch of lavender was different from the surrounding ones. The leaves were a little yellow and curled, and they were also covered with a layer of black mold, giving it a lifeless look.
Ajie almost cried with worry, and said anxiously: "Sister, my father asked me to take care of this lavender. Now that it is like this, my father will be very sad. Is my lavender going to die?!"
As he said this, Ajie's eyes turned red and he was about to cry.
Su Xiaoxiao quickly squatted down, gently hugged little Ajie, wiped away his tears, and said with a smile: "Ajie, lavender is not dead, they are sick, just like people, if they don't eat and drink well,
If you do, you will still get sick."
Hearing what Su Xiaoxiao said, little Ajie immediately stopped crying and became very excited. He held Su Xiaoxiao's hand tightly and said, "Sister, are you serious? Are they really okay? Really?"
Are you just sick?"
"Of course, what sister said is true? They are really just sick." Su Xiaoxiao gently pinched Ajie's little face, and then asked with a smile: "Ajie, tell me how you take care of them.
This lavender one?”
Ajie gently held his minibus with his little fingers, thought for a while, and said: "I bring a small shovel to help them shovel the grass and loosen the soil every day. By the way, I often help them water them."
Well, the teacher said that flowers need water to grow, just like people need water to drink, so I water my lavender almost every day."
Su Xiaoxiao frowned her beautiful brows slightly, and then stretched out her hands to push aside the lavender flowers and leaves. Sure enough, the ground was wet, and some lavender roots had turned yellow. When Su Xiaoxiao was turning over the lavender flowers and leaves, she was even more surprised.
Many leaves actually have tiny white insect eggs on them.
"Sister, what on earth should I do? Should I ask a doctor to treat Lavender?" Ajie didn't know what to do for a while. Now he could only rely on Su Xiaoxiao and ask Su Xiaoxiao no matter what questions he had.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Ajie's anxious red face and said with a smile: "Doctors treat people, but they don't know how to treat flowers."
"What should we do, sister?!" When Ajie heard Su Xiaoxiao say that the doctor couldn't save his flower, he immediately became anxious and red-eyed again.
Su Xiaoxiao pointed her finger at herself and said with a smile: "The doctor doesn't have it, but my sister can. How about I help you save Lavender?"
"Okay, sister, you are amazing. You can also treat flowers. You are even better than those doctors." Little Ajie's clear black and white eyes were filled with incomparable admiration for Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao rolled up her sleeves, and then said to little Ajie like a child: "Okay, let's do a big battle to save lavender. We are partners, and we will save lavender together!"
"Okay! Okay!" Ajie was suddenly excited and immediately clapped in agreement.
The battle to save lavender began as soon as it started. Su Xiaoxiao and Ajie entered the lavender fields together and picked up all the lavenders with rotten roots to prevent them from becoming too dense. Although Ajie was a little reluctant to part with it, for this large area
Lavender, he had no choice but to pull out the lavender that was about to rot.
"Ajie, from now on, you have to water only once every three days. You know, you can't water too frequently. What lavender is most afraid of is drinking too much." Su Xiaoxiao picked up the rotten lavender.
Said to Ajie.
Ajie took the lavender from Su Xiaoxiao and asked curiously: "Sister, if you don't water it for three days, will the lavender die of thirst?"
Su Xiaoxiao gently touched Ajie's little face and said with a smile: "How could that happen? The earth is the mother of lavender, and she will also feed them water, so Ajie only needs to water them once every three days.
."
"Ha, I know this. Our teacher Xiaofang once said that the earth is the mother." Ajie immediately responded to Su Xiaoxiao's words and said.
"Ha, yes, Teacher Xiaofang is right." Su Xiaoxiao's face was filled with a childlike smile. With Ajie, she didn't have any worries. She really fell in love with a beautiful manor more and more.
After a lot of work, the lavender that turned out to be messy was cleaned up a lot, and the moldy and rotten flowers were also picked out.
Su Xiaoxiao's heart was far from relieved. She was staring at the small white insect eggs on the leaves, and she was very confused. Lavender rarely gets sick because it has the effect of resisting and repelling insects.
If we want to say that insect pests really occur, then only...
In an instant, Su Xiaoxiao recalled the book about lavender that she had just read, and immediately thought of a pest that lavender suffers from, which is whitefly. This insect is a common pest of lavender and mostly appears on the leaves.
On the back side of the plant, it lives by sucking the juice from the leaves. When lavender is infected by this insect, the leaves will turn yellow and curl.
The symptoms before her were almost exactly the same as those described in the book. Su Xiaoxiao quickly pulled Ajie and said, "Ajie, do you know that the insecticide at home is here? It's the one that dad usually uses."
Little Ajie thought for a moment, looked up at Su Xiaoxiao, and said, "I know, I know, sister, come with me." After saying that, Ajie ran back, and Su Xiaoxiao followed closely behind him.
Soon Ajie took Su Xiaoxiao to the front of a warehouse, then stood on tiptoes to pull the door bolt open, and with Su Xiaoxiao's help, found the warehouse door.
"Sister, dad always puts insecticides here." Ajie pointed to the end of the warehouse and said with a smile.
As soon as the door of the warehouse was opened, a strong smell of medicine immediately hit her nostrils, but Su Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and got in.
The warehouse was filled with sundries, and of course there were all kinds of insecticides piled in the corner. Su Xiaoxiao wandered among the dazzling array of insecticides, and finally her eyes lit up, and she immediately discovered the insecticide she wanted - thiophene.
pyroxam.
After that, Su Xiaoxiao and Ajie put on transparent plastic gloves, each held a small bucket filled with insecticide, and then ran to the lavender field where the insect infestation occurred, and sprinkled the powder on each lavender leaf.
superior.
After everything was done, the sky had already darkened, and Su Xiaoxiao and little Ajie were both so tired that they slumped down on the field stalks, with beads of sweat dripping from their faces, and their little faces were all white.
of.
Little Ajie looked at Su Xiaoxiao and suddenly laughed. He pointed his little finger at Su Xiaoxiao and said, "Sister, your face is like a little cat, haha."
When Su Xiaoxiao heard what Ajie said, she quickly picked up the bright small shovel next to her from her pocket. Sure enough, her bright face was painted colorfully.
Su Xiaoxiao immediately pouted her little mouth, stretched out her hands and rubbed little Ajie's face back and forth, and immediately laughed and said: "Let you talk about it again, sister, look at your face now, is it like a little black cat, haha!
"
"Sister, you are so shameless!" Little Ajie was so aggrieved that he stood up and rushed to Su Xiaoxiao to seek justice for himself.
Su Xiaoxiao never gave little Ajie a chance. She ducked away, picked up the bucket and shovel and ran forward. She stuck out her tongue at little Ajie and said, "Haha, I want to catch my sister.
