The next afternoon, Yuan Ning went out with Zhang Xiuyan with a mimosa in his arms.The clothes he was wearing were a miniature version of the one Zhang Xiuyan was wearing.Because he was going out with Zhang Xiuyan, he took a peek at the clothes Zhang Xiuyan was wearing in the morning, and found the same one after returning to his room.

Zhang Xiuling told Yuan Ning that these clothes were selected by them separately, Zhang Xiuyan was the most trouble-free, and directly asked people to make a smaller size according to his own clothes, which was regarded as coping with this "trouble".

Although I feel a little sorry for Ms. Xue and Zhang Xiuling, Yuan Ning still thinks that Zhang Xiuyan's clothes are more suitable for going out after looking around, and most of the other clothes can only be worn at home for them, so that they won't feel that he doesn't like them picked.

Yuan Ning looked at Zhang Xiuyan carefully, and seeing that Zhang Xiuyan still had no expression on his face, he knew that he had chosen the right one.

During this period of time, Zhang Xiuyan was the one he observed the most, and he had basically figured out Zhang Xiuyan's temper: Zhang Xiuyan's face was stern or expressionless, which meant "you chose the right one" and "you did a good job" I won't praise you lest you be proud"; Zhang Xiuyan frowned or glanced at you, which means "Are you a fool?" ".

Yuan Ning was very curious whether Zhang Xiuyan would laugh.

Yuan Ning has thin arms and short hands, tightly hugging the flowerpot.The leaves of the mimosa are half-closed, still wilting, looking out of the window from time to time, telling Yuan Ning that it was on this road when it came, but the road seems to have changed a lot.Yuan Ning followed Mimosa and looked out the window. After leaving the villa area, he drove for a while and saw some shops one after another. He carefully identified the signboards on them, and gave up until he was dazzled.

Seeing Zhang Xiuyan reading a magazine, Yuan Ning said, "Big brother."

Zhang Xiu looked at him strictly.

Reading in a car is not good!Facing Zhang Xiuyan's stern gaze, how could Yuan Ning dare to preach to Zhang Xiuyan?He swallowed his saliva and said in a low voice: "There are so many shops here, I saw a lot of small shops!"

Zhang Xiuyan was almost amused by him.He closed the magazine.Concentrate on talking to people, this is what he taught Yuan Ning and the others, and he naturally has to follow it.

Zhang Xiuyan said: "This is not a downtown area, not too much."

Yuan Ning was shocked.

Zhang Xiuyan continued to correct: "That's not called a small shop, that's called a supermarket."

"Supermarket?" Yuan Ning was a little at a loss.

"Supermarket." Zhang Xiuyan didn't expect to answer such a question.

Yuan Ning understood.There are all kinds of things for sale in the market. Since the supermarket is called "Super", there must be a lot of things for sale, more than the general market.

Zhang Xiuyan said: "The gardening store is not far from here. We can store the mimosa in the store later and go to the supermarket." The supermarket here is also newly opened. more common.Zhang Xiuling kept begging Zhang Xiuyan to take her here for a stroll, but Zhang Xiuyan didn't agree, but when he saw the curiosity in Yuan Ning's eyes, he couldn't help asking.

Yuan Ning naturally wanted to go, but he looked at the mimosa and shook his head firmly: "I don't want it anymore, it will be scared if it stays in the gardening shop by itself."

Zhang Xiuyan: "..."

The leaves of the mimosa opened up again: "It doesn't matter to me, you go! Sounds like fun!"

Yuan Ning hesitated.He is afraid of Mimosa because he is pretending to be strong. He is very scared when he goes outside alone. How can Mimosa not be afraid?

Mimosa said: "The gardening store is a very good place, the air is moist and fresh. The little brother over there will take us to the sun regularly every day and take good care of us. I like it very much. Maybe I will You can still see a few old friends! Don't worry!"

Zhang Xiuyan also said: "The people in the gardening shop will definitely take good care of him." After all, the Zhang family invites their gardener to take care of the garden every year with a very handsome salary.

Only then did Yuan Ning agree.

The car stopped in front of the gardening shop, Yuan Ning trotted behind Zhang Xiuyan, and walked into the gardening shop with a mimosa in his arms.As soon as he entered the door, Yuan Ning felt the "moist and fresh air" that Mimosa said.

The gardening shop is divided into two parts. The front is used to handle business for customers and display flowers for sale, and the back is a small indoor garden. It is a three-story ring-shaped building with a glass roof at the top, and the dazzling sunlight is screened by the glass. Afterwards, it becomes warm and soft, covering the entire small indoor garden in a faint halo.

So beautiful.

Yuan Ning opened his eyes wide and looked inside, a bit reluctant to look away.

There was a girl with a soft voice at the front desk. Seeing Yuan Ning approaching with flowers, she couldn't help asking Zhang Xiuyan: "Do you need to take it back? Wait here to register."

Zhang Xiuyan said: "No." He looked at Yuan Ning, "I want to ask someone to see if the mimosa in our house needs to be repotted, and I will pick a master to go back and re-prune the garden."

The girl at the front desk's eyes lit up: "Okay, I'll arrange it for you now. Is there a master who has been here before?"

Zhang Xiuyan said: "Yes." He stepped forward and checked a name on the list of gardeners, "Change another one."

After Zhang Xiuyan finished talking, he turned his head and saw that Yuan Ning had already taken a few steps in with the mimosa in his arms, and looked at the three-story small garden behind with a look of amazement.Zhang Xiuyan frowned.How could his younger brother be so unpromising, showing such a shocked expression when he saw a small garden?

Zhang Xiuyan took the mimosa from Yuan Ning, put it on the front desk, and said to the girl at the front desk: "This is the pot, please help the master to have a look." He lifted his foot and walked in, looking at Yuan Ning, "Follow."

Yuan Ning was both surprised and delighted: "Can I go in?"

The girl at the front desk replied: "Yes, as long as the flowers and plants inside are not damaged."

Zhang Xiuyan has already taken several steps.

Yuan Ning hurriedly ran to keep up.

After running behind Zhang Xiuyan, Yuan Ning looked at Zhang Xiuyan's straight back and felt that he was looking at a steep mountain.Yuan Ning couldn't help saying: "Big brother!"

Zhang Xiu glanced at him strictly.

Yuan Ning bravely grabbed Zhang Xiuyan's hand and said sincerely, "Brother, you are so kind to me!" His eyes were dark and bright, like beautiful stars shining in the dark sky.

Zhang Xiuyan felt that his ears were burning again.The brat touched him again!Touching him like this without his permission!

Zhang Xiuyan uttered two words with a straight face: "Let go."

Yuan Ning was taken aback.He suddenly remembered that Zhang Xiuling had said the day he first came here that Zhang Xiuyan disliked physical contact with others the most.He hurriedly retracted his soft palm, his face flushed red: "Yes, I'm sorry."

Zhang Xiuyan pursed his lips.Seeing Yuan Ning panicked, he felt that his tone was too harsh.

What the hell!

In the past, he taught Zhang Xiuling and Zhang Xiuwen that they would never soften their hearts. How could he feel that just saying "let go" would wrong this brat?

This brat must be looking too weak!

Weak to the point that if you say something harsh to him, he won't be able to stand it.

Zhang Xiuyan found the "reason" and frowned even more, a little undecided.

Should it be stricter?Thinking of Yuan Ning's words "Brother, you are so kind to me", Zhang Xiuyan withdrew his dissatisfied gaze.

This little devil is so young, let's help him get rid of his bad habits first, stuttering, timid, hiding things--at a young age, there are many problems.

Zhang Xiuyan spoke in a rare way: "Speak up wherever you want to go and what you want. If you don't speak up, no one will know what you want. You will embarrass your mother and the others." Of course he likes quiet and well-behaved , but Ms. Xue and the others are different. They think a lot. If Yuan Ning is too quiet, they will feel that Yuan Ning is unhappy and not used to it.

Yuan Ning was taken aback, then nodded obediently.

He lived with his second aunt for two years, and Yuan Bo always let him in, but he never dared to ask for anything—because every time Yuan Bo gave him his things or even gave him up, the second uncle would fight with him. The second aunt closed the door and quarreled.

The Zhang family doesn't lack anything, and he doesn't need to ask for it at all, so others should not find that he dare not speak up.

Zhang Xiuyan found out.

The Zhang family is really nice and nice.

Yuan Ning followed Zhang Xiuyan and stepped upstairs step by step. When they reached the top floor, they were already very close to the glass ceiling on the top.Yuan Ning looked up, only to feel that the sunlight reflected by the glass was beautiful, bright, warm, and beautiful.

Under these lights, the flowers and trees in the little garden grew wonderfully.Yuan Ning listened carefully, and found that they were whispering about him and Zhang Xiuyan, just like little girls discussing a passing boy, with a cheerful and lively tone.Some flowers sensed that Yuan Ning was looking at them, and immediately closed their petals shyly, leaving only the faint fragrance in the air.

Yuan Ning felt like he was dreaming.He walked forward slowly, for fear that if he walked too fast, he might miss some beautiful flowers.

Suddenly, Yuan Ning felt an uncomfortable bitter smell coming from behind the door in front.Yuan Ning was startled, and looked at Zhang Xiuyan, but saw that Zhang Xiuyan's brows were not wrinkled, as if he didn't feel anything.Yuan Ning stretched out his hand to push open the door, but was held back by Zhang Xiuyan.

Zhang Xiuyan pointed to the wooden sign hanging a little higher than Yuan Ning in front: "Look clearly."

Yuan Ning looked up and saw four words written on the wooden sign: Idlers are not allowed to enter.

Yuan Ning stopped in his tracks.

Just as Yuan Ning was about to follow Zhang Xiuyan obediently and continue walking, the door creaked open, and an old man in linen clothes came out from inside.Yuan Ning looked inside curiously, and found that the room seemed to be a small cultivation room. There were many fragments of flower pots piled up in one corner, and rows of stone troughs for growing flowers were placed in the center. The flowers in the stone troughs were Downcast, as if completely lost vitality.

That bitterness comes from the stone trough.

Yuan Ning looked at those flowers carefully, and frowned.

Those flowers seem to be wrapped with that kind of extremely thin black silk thread?

What exactly is that?

If you figure it out, can you help them and the fish?

Yuan Ning ignored Zhang Xiuyan's warning eyes, and mustered up the courage to step forward and ask, "Grandpa, what's wrong with these flowers? They seem very uncomfortable, are they sick?"
