"Next time we go into the mountains, I'll help you catch one." Song Yuehua responded without stopping.
Zhang Dandan smiled and thanked, "Sister Song, you are really a living Bodhisattva!"
"It's just catching a snake, it's not a problem." Song Yuehua was just a little curious, "It seems that Madam Nie treats you very well."
Zhang Dandan hummed heavily, "Aunt Nie is the best."
Song Yuehua chuckled and glanced at him.
It is true that people who work as embroiderers are prone to eye diseases. As for Xiaoyu, I have to remind her to be more careful.
"When you have nothing to do, go out for a walk and look at some flowers and plants. It's good for your eyes. It's a pity that Madam Nie doesn't want to go out." Song Yuehua murmured.
Zhang Dandan, who was standing by, heard this and kept it in mind.
Since then, Zhang Dandan would pick a lot of flowers and plants in the village and send them to Madam Nie after school every day.
"You should read more books in your free time," said Madam Nie.
"It's okay. The teacher said we should combine work and rest. I'm going to Dongshan to visit my elder brother, and picking flowers and plants is also a good idea." Zhang Dandan said with a chuckle.
Madam Nie had never been outside, but she could imagine that it was not easy to pick so many flowers.
Guan Xiaodie took out a vase from inside. The flowers in the vase were still alive. Seeing that she was about to take the flowers out, Nie Nie stopped her and said, "Don't, it's a pity to throw them away. Get a new vase, put the flowers in it and put it in your room. Do you like it?"
"Who doesn't love flowers?" Guan Xiaodie said softly, "Wild flowers last longer than potted flowers, and they look stubborn."
Madam Nie laughed, "You are quite insightful."
Zhang Dandan, who was sitting outside, also said, "If Sister Xiaodie likes it, I will pick it for you every day."
Guan Xiaodie put flowers in the vase while talking, "If you pick all the flowers, the villagers won't be able to see them."
"Xiaodie is right, we should not pick them anymore." Madam Nie also said.
Zhang Dandan sighed, "It's a pity that the yard is paved with bricks. If there were two patches of dirt left, I could pull out the flower roots and plant them in the yard. I could see them every day and I wouldn't even have to worry about the bottles."
"By the way, we can plant it next to the outside wall. When it grows taller, the branches can extend inside, which will be the same thing." Zhang Dandan felt that he had come up with a good idea.
"I'll talk to Sister Song. I'm sure she'll agree."
Zhang Dandan did what he said. Before Nie could say anything else, Guan Xiaodie said, "If you agree, I'll go to the mountain with you tomorrow to cut some branches and bring them back. They can be planted."
"Don't we have to uproot them?"
"Need not."
After Zhang Dandan agreed, he went to the Song family next door.
There is a circle of empty land outside the wall, and it would be nice to plant some flowers.
Thinking of what Zhang Dandan had mentioned about Niang Nie's eyes, Song Yuehua patted his head and said, "Grow whatever you want. Don't delay your studies. Your two brothers are working in Dongshan to support your studies. Don't let them down."
The next day, after school, Zhang Dandan went to the backyard to find Guan Xiaodie as soon as he left the lecture hall.
At this time, Guan Xiaodie changed into a dark purple cotton dress and borrowed a basket from Lady Xia. She carried it with her arm around her, looking a little more down-to-earth.
After the two arrived at Dongshan, they met Gao Wazi. Zhang Dandan said a few words to Gao Wazi and then went around to the back of the bamboo forest in the north.
"There are several clusters of large white flowers here, and they smell very fragrant. Sister Xiaodie, if you like them, you can cut some and take them back." Zhang Dandan said.
Before they arrived at the place, Guan Xiaodie guessed that it should be the white jasmine picked by Zhang Dandan.
After arriving at the place, Guan Xiaodie put down the basket and started pruning branches.
Zhang Dandan looked at it for a long time and asked, "Sister Xiaodie, what's the point of this?"
Guan Xiaodie replied, "Choose thicker branches, and don't damage them when you cut them diagonally. There is no other requirement. Just cut a few more and some will survive."
That makes sense.
"The flowers in the wild are really different," Guan Xiaodie chuckled, "each one blooms so wantonly."
Zhang Dandan: “…” What would be the less awkward way to continue?
After Guan Xiaodie stood up, Zhang Dandan came over and said, "There is a bunch of red flowers that can climb the wall over there. They are beautiful and fragrant, but the stems are full of thorns. Sister Xiaodie, let me cut them for you. You just watch from the side. Don't prick your hands."
The red flower with thorns should be a rose. Guan Xiaodie nodded.
Zhang Dandan took the basket and asked Guan Xiaodie casually, "Sister Xiaodie, what is your relationship with Hua Baoer? I always feel that you two are both daughters of wealthy families, but you are very different."
Guan Xiaodie said, "The Guan family is the owner of Fu Man Lou, and Shopkeeper Hua is the shopkeeper of Fu Man Lou."
Zhang Dandan was shocked. It turned out that one was the boss and the other was the shopkeeper. No wonder they didn't interact much.
"Sister Xiaodie, it turns out that you are the real young lady!" Zhang Dandan said in surprise.
Guan Xiaodie said softly, "What's true or false? The Hua family girl has a casual personality, which is good."
That's right. Zhang Dandan reflected on himself. He was wrong to do business with Hua Baoer and talk about her behind her back.
"Thank you, Sister Xiaodie." Zhang Dandan said.
Guan Xiaodie looked at him in confusion.
Zhang Dandan asked, "Sister Xiaodie, are you going home this time?"
"No."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them arrived at a rose bush.
Zhang Dandan took the scissors, jumped down the steep slope, and shouted to Guan Xiaodie on the slope, "Sister Xiaodie, the soil next to this is not solid. Don't move. I'll bring it up to show you when I'm done cutting it."
Zhang Dandan jumped down and disappeared, so Guan Xiaodie could only wait up there.
Suddenly, Zhang Dandan let out a cry.
"What's wrong?"
Guan Xiaodie quickly stood up and looked down, but she didn't notice the soil under her feet for a moment. She lost her balance and fell to the right front. She was so scared that her mind went blank.
"Hey! Are you stupid?"
Guan Xiaodie looked at her clenched left hand, and looking in the direction of the hand, she saw a young man in a gray robe.
At this moment, the soil under Guan Xiaodie's feet sank. Ji Ming grabbed her and threw her behind him, then fell backwards.
"ah!"
