I saw a few small epiphyllum trees planted among the flowers, and only one epiphyllum bloomed beautifully among the green bushes.
Under the night, the epiphyllum is as white as mist, graceful and independent, exuding waves of quiet fragrance.
Cheng Tianyuan explained with a smile: "This was transplanted by craftsmen at the beginning of the year."
"Epiphyllum blooms in summer and autumn." Dad Xue explained: "The tree is still a little small, with only two buds. This is the first one tonight, and I guess there will be another one in a few days."
Xue's mother said happily: "I have seen them before, but not such big buds. Look! They are really beautiful! The smell is also fragrant!"
Xue Ling sat next to them and yawned.
"Don't sit outside for too long and drink plenty of water."
Cheng Tianyuan poured water from the kettle into cups and handed each of them half a cup.
"The weather in early autumn is a bit hot and the wind is a bit dry. Remember to drink more water at home, especially in the morning and evening."
Liu Ying nodded hurriedly: "I know! I know!"
Xue's mother said with a smile: "Now that the children are older and they don't have to do any housework, they seem to have a lot of free time. Sister Ying and I have leveled the soil in the past two days and plan to start planting seeds tomorrow."
"I can help too!" Father Xue raised his hand: "My arms are sore."
Everyone laughed.
Cheng Tianyuan said warmly: "Dad, just think of it as physical exercise. However, you should also pay more attention and rest when your hands and feet are sore. As you get older, your hands and feet can't stand the toil and toil for too long."
"How can you!" Mother Xue mocked: "Your father can't work for more than five minutes!"
Father Xue said in a low voice, "Take your time, I might be better than you tomorrow."
"Wait and see!" Xue's mother hummed.
Liu Ying thought of something and asked, "What about Ranran? Why didn't you come back?"
Cheng Huanran was still on summer vacation. Except for Xue Yang, who had to train during the summer vacation, the other three people had not yet gone to class.
Xue Ling told them about the visit of the Shanyue family and explained that his eldest son drove them to a hotel to arrange their stay.
"Why don't you stay at home?" Liu Ying asked: "Don't we have a few guest rooms in our yard? There are people cooking and cleaning at home, so how can it be worse than a hotel? Does a hotel have such a good environment as ours? The key is that it is still expensive!
"
Cheng Tianyuan sighed slightly and explained Shan You's situation to them.
"It's not that they don't come, nor are they being polite to us, it's just that Shan You is afraid of meeting strangers now... he's sick."
"We are not strangers." Xue's mother said with a smile: "The child used to be very close to us. Especially during the two years he lived upstairs, he came down every now and then to have dinner, and he became very close to us."
Xue Ling sighed helplessly: "It's different...she doesn't recognize us anymore. The child suffered from severe depression and even had the tendency to commit suicide recently. In order to take care of her, Shan Yue and Sister Chen have aged a lot in recent years and almost died.
Don’t recognize them.”
"Why... is it so serious?" Xue's father frowned and asked.
The three old people were all shocked and secretly felt sorry for that smart and cute little girl who sang like a lark.
Cheng Tianyuan explained to them Xiaoshan You's lack of talent and failed investments over the years.
"Shan Yue invested a lot of money, and a large part of the fishery was sold, leaving only the smallest one. Unexpectedly, the film investment failed, and all the money was lost. Shan Yue lost all his resources at once, and it was a huge blow.
She locked herself in her room to sleep every day and refused to even step out of the room. After staying at home for a long time, the child gradually became less talkative, gradually lost hope in life, and began to have various negative emotions and depression. Shangyue found that something was wrong with her.
, and quickly took her to see a doctor. There was some relief at first, but she secretly stopped taking medicine for a while, and her condition worsened, and then she became like this."
Liu Ying sighed and shook her head: "Poor...why did it happen like this? Such a good child!"
"That's right!" Father Xue said angrily: "Shan Yue and the others have something wrong with their thinking. They think about letting their children become big stars all day long! Is it so easy to be a big star? How many people can eat this bowl of rice? We can't keep our feet on the ground.
A little!"
"That's not what I think." Mother Xue whispered: "Parents don't always want their children to be well. Parents are the most uncomfortable when their children are like this."
Liu Ying nodded in agreement: "Yes, no one expected it. They were in their thirties and forties and it took a lot of effort to give birth to a child, Shanyou. Naturally, it hurts so much. How did you think it would end up like this?"
Cheng Tianyuan said warmly: "Ah Huan has introduced the best experts and said that if you slowly cooperate with the treatment, it will definitely be effective."
Dad Xue thought for a while and whispered: "Let me tell you, it's Shan Yue and Chen Shuiyu's problem. They have the ability to do business, but their vision and concepts are not good. As human beings, the most important thing is to have
The concept is correct and the mind is open-minded. If there are even a few flaws of this type, it is easy to go astray and trouble will ensue."
"It makes sense." Xue's mother agreed: "In the beginning, Chen Shuiyu and her husband's family were constantly having trouble, every now and then, which was called trouble! Later, she was poisoned by her mother-in-law, and she almost died. This is the best.
Proof. If they got along well, how could they end up like this! And Shan Yue, as long as he has a little more money, he can't help but swell, talk big, brag, and look down on others. He started business early, but he always
It was not stable, rising for a while and then falling again. In the years we have known each other, how many times has he gone up and down? I can’t even count him! Now that he is old, I don’t know if he can still move.”
Xue Ling thought about it and felt that the old man's analysis was reasonable.
"You are quite right. When the Shanyue couple started to make a lot of money, we were still opening a small shop in Rongcheng. We stepped forward step by step, but they went around in circles. Until now, we are old, but we have achieved results.
Not big. The most important reason is the wrong concept."
Shanyue lost a large and profitable factory in gambling, lost a large fishery, and sold several buildings.
"The couple used to have a good eye for business and did very well in sales. But their concepts were somewhat flawed, and their investments were not properly arranged. They lost money when they made money, and they went round and round. Now they don't have much left on hand.
.Fortunately, with a little foundation, I won’t have too many worries in my later years.”
"Can you not worry?" Xue's father shook his head: "The only daughter is like this... let's see if she can recover. If not, then isn't life hopeless?"
"Don't say that." Mother Xue whispered: "Didn't you just say that? Experts say it can be cured, but it just takes time."
Father Xue frowned and sighed: "Money doesn't matter, the key is people. Such a cute little girl... I can't help but feel heartbroken when I listen to it. I still remember the song "Happy New Year" she sang. Her singing voice was particularly clear and beautiful.
