In Mati Town, one of the nine towns, there is such a flower house called Xiaofan Flower House.
Xiaofan is a personal name, to be precise, it is the name of a beautiful woman.
Her parents opened this greenhouse when she was born to commemorate Xiaofan's arrival in the world. Among the countless greenhouses around, the history is very short; but the profession of gardener is different from other professions, nor is it like a century-old gardener. The restaurant needs an old soup that can attract popularity.
At the end of the year, almost everyone is a competent gardener, and it is no secret that most of the flowers are grown. Xiaofan's parents had a daughter after decades of gardening, and they were so excited that they used their life savings to open such a flower house. , not only out of interest, but also to leave a viable livelihood for my daughter.
When my daughter grew up, she was introverted and sensitive, hiding things in her heart. So she hired a hard-working and down-to-earth son-in-law. The family lived in peace and harmony. Although they were not rich, they had no worries about food and clothing. It has a taste of life that ordinary people don’t have.
But for God, what may be the most disgusting thing is such blandness and calmness.
A few years after Miss Xiaofan got married, bad luck came one after another. Her parents and husband passed away due to accidents, which caused earth-shaking changes in her life!
To her, although her husband was just a matchmaker, there was no true love for her, but for ordinary people, this was a normal life, not a life lived like a biographical novel.
Her parents who loved her most were gone, which was the biggest blow; her husband was gone, and she didn’t even have a child left! The harmony and beauty of the family of four was gone, and she was left alone.
But ordinary people may also be the most resilient! Just like the grass in the wilderness, they have been crushed by the ruts of time, but they can still grow tenaciously!
Miss Xiaofan not only has the unique gentleness and beauty of southerners in the Qiuling area, but also inherited a gardener's heart! She has been influenced by her since she was a child, starting from cultivating soil, fertilizing and watering. During the more than 20 years she has been with her parents, she has already Better than blue!
Cultivating flowers and running the flower house, her only belief is not to let the flower house passed down from her parents be destroyed in her hands. As for what will happen to her a hundred years later, that is another matter.
There is no problem with technology, and there is no problem with character. The problem lies in the shamelessness and bullying that you can never avoid in this world!
A few years later, with the help of some old neighbors and old friends of her parents, she managed to survive without any danger. However, her parents' friends are generally older now, and there are more and more people who can help her. The less you have, the more difficult life becomes.
She is still persisting! And she plans to continue to do so until the end of her life!
She doesn't plan to remarry or have children, because in the eyes of many people, she is an unlucky person. There are many people who want to play tricks, but there are very few people who really care about her. She doesn't want to waste her time on Above this.
She was widowed in her twenties and was a tragic figure with some minor fame in Horseshoe Town.
Xiaofan’s flower house is the smallest and shabbiest among the thousands of flower houses in Suimo City! Of course, it cannot afford to hire many people, so the owner Xiaofan is responsible for the gardening without having to pay him any wages; he also has three helpers. , a middle-aged couple, Brother Niu and Sister-in-law Niu, and a little girl who came to live with her from a distant relative.
Brother Niu is responsible for the affairs outside the greenhouse, delivering flowers and grass, carrying water and fertilizer, etc. Sister Niu and the little girl named Huniu help her with the trivial matters inside the greenhouse.
Growing flowers is not as easy as outsiders think.
On this day, Xiaofan was grafting a sprig of chrysanthemum in the flower room, when a chubby Huniu came over from the flower garden.
Every flower shop at the end of the year is actually composed of two parts. One part is a flower bed, where flowers are planted in the open air; a flower room is a greenhouse. Many flower seeds are cultivated in the greenhouse. Wait until success.
Slow removal of flower beds is a very tedious process.
"Aunt Fan, I was in the flower garden today and saw that strange orchid plant that seemed to have grown a few inches taller. Aunt Fan, do you think this thing really doesn't need watering or fertilizing? I feel like its rhizome is so shallow that it's almost
The roots are so weak that they are stuck in the cracks of the stone. Is it possible that a slight breeze will blow them away?
If that doesn't work, let's just ask Uncle Niu to move the stone into the greenhouse. At least it won't be exposed to wind or sun?"
Huniu is a relative of her mother. According to her seniority, she should be called aunt. Although it is not appropriate for a fifteen or six-year-old child to call a woman in her twenties and prime of life aunt, but for a child
He's not very sensible and Xiaofan has no other thoughts, so it doesn't matter.
That strange grass was discovered by Huniu by accident a few months ago. It was on the low stone wall built around the flower bed; the strange thing was that other flowers and plants were rooted in the soil, but this grass
But the roots are stuck in the cracks of the rocks,
Xiaofan judged from this that it should have been a light rain a few days ago. There was soil in the cracks of the rocks, and the wind blew grass seeds. For experienced gardeners like them, this is not difficult to understand. All the grass growing on the cliffs
Most of the plants basically follow this principle, rather than actually having their roots rooted into the stone.
For flower beds, weeds are not allowed to appear in the flower beds, even decorative vines climbing the walls will absorb soil fertility. Laymen think it doesn't matter, but experts like them know that even from the appearance
It doesn't seem to affect anything, but the real impact is in the entanglement of underground roots.
There is no reason why many flowers and plants in flower beds are not growing well. In fact, it lies in these seemingly innocuous details.
It was precisely for this reason that Huniu stretched out her hand to pull it out, but didn't want to pull it out once. It was simply unreasonable! She was so surprised that she lost her voice and alerted Xiaofan, which stopped the child's recklessness.
The strange grass had two forked branches and one branch had been pulled out by Huniu. The roots were half out, and they were half exposed and stretched out. The shape was very miserable.
Despite her young age, Xiao Fan's more than 20 years of experience in growing flowers and plants have made her as knowledgeable as those old gardeners. She could tell at a glance...well, it's not that this strange grass is extraordinary.
But this is indeed a new variety that she has never seen before!
It hasn't grown yet, so it's impossible to know whether it blooms? What kind of flowers bloom? Which branch does it belong to? Which category?
Out of the professional spirit of a gardener, she was sufficiently curious about every novel species, so even though she knew that the grass would die more than live in this state, she did not pull it out like an ordinary weed.
Of.
Of course, even though she was very experienced, she didn’t transplant it into a pot out of sympathy! This is an essential quality for an excellent gardener!
She did nothing, not even watering it, because she knew very well that the vitality of a strange grass that could grow in the cracks of stones was probably nothing compared to its fragile appearance!
