Warm man's succulent garden

Zhang Jingye always thought that she was a person with bad luck.

The people around me felt the same way.

When she was still a milk baby, Zhang Jingye was abandoned by her heartless parents at the gate of the orphanage in S Province, and was taken in by the kind-hearted dean, Mama Wu.Because of the lack of breastfeeding since childhood, Zhang Jingye is not good-looking, she is thin and hunched (the perennial low self-esteem makes him dare not straighten up).

Therefore, although many rich people come to adopt orphans in the orphanage every year, luck has never come to him...

The orphanage does not have much money for the children to go to those key primary and secondary schools, and can only guarantee the most basic compulsory education.And Zhang Jingye's study was not outstanding, barely after graduating from middle school, the kind mother Wu introduced him to a part-time job: working as a chef for a hotel who went out of the orphanage.

This is something that can’t be helped. Over the years, Mama Wu has been seeking alms everywhere, and it is already very difficult to support a group of children in the orphanage, let alone send the children who are about to grow up to study in technical schools.

Therefore, being a small worker has become the best choice for many older orphans.

Fortunately, the master Zhang Jingye followed was also an orphan who went out of the orphanage, so Zhang Jingye was not bad. In addition to helping him win the hotel's apprentice salary of 800 yuan per month, he also distributed the hotel to his staff dormitory Lend him a temporary stay, the master has already bought a house, so he doesn't need a dormitory, but sometimes he has to live in a hotel when he is too busy, and Zhang Jingye can leave a bed for him.

Not only that, but the master never hides anything from Zhang Jingye. It is because this little apprentice is so well-behaved and introverted that he, who is also an orphan, can't help but feel pity for him. Every time he cooks, as long as he is not busy, he will always let him stand. I watched Xuexue from the side, and when there was no one else, I would ask him to cook two dishes on the stove and give some pointers.

Therefore, after working in the hotel for three years, 19-year-old Zhang Jingye finally became a full-time worker. From an apprentice to a glorious vegetable cutter, her monthly salary is 1600 yuan, double that of a small worker.

In this way, Zhang Jingye was also reluctant to spend money randomly.His monthly expenses are calculated in units of "gross": 1600 yuan salary, 600 yuan to Wu's mother, and 600 yuan for the children to buy rice and vegetables; , Zhang Jingye needs to deposit 400 yuan regularly, and the remaining [-] yuan is reserved for pocket money such as clothes and daily necessities.

Even in the age when kidneys are everywhere, the stingy Zhang Jingye is still reluctant to buy the cheapest mobile phone for the elderly, anyway, he has no other relatives in this world, only the master and the orphanage, the master is I can see it every day. At Mama Wu's orphanage, you can borrow the public phone of the hotel for urgent matters. Why waste the money?

In other words, how many pots of succulents are enough to buy more than 100 yuan a month for phone bills!

That's right!No matter how stingy people are, they also have hobbies. Zhang Jingye's hobbies are very strange to the colleagues in the hotel: this girl actually loves to grow flowers like girls? !

"Wrong! That's not a flower, it's a succulent plant!" After trying to correct it a few times, Zhang Jingye stopped struggling.Flowers are just flowers, anyway, succulents can also bloom, so it can be regarded as growing flowers!

Want to talk about why an orphan fell in love with raising succulents, which seems to be a high-end literary hobby?

This also starts with his "house" attribute——

When she first came to the hotel, because Zhang Jingye was thin and short, she always lowered her head, so her popularity was not very good. It's not that the people in the hotel were snobby, but Zhang Jingye talked too little, even if she took the initiative They couldn't get together while chatting, and over time, Zhang Jingye had nothing else to do except learn how to cook, wash and chop vegetables with the master.

For a while, he accidentally found a bag of strange plants on the balcony of the top floor: there is no soil on the concrete floor, only some sand blown by the wind and scattered napkins, etc., but this plant grows very well , the plump leaves are fleshy, the branches hang down, and dozens of heads are clustered together, which is very spectacular.

It was only later that Zhang Jingye found out that this was the so-called "big general" winter beauty among succulents.

From then on, Zhang Jingye seemed to be possessed by a demon. Not only did she change her stingy nature, she went to the flower and bird market by bus to buy a big flower pot, and carefully placed the cubs bred by the old winter beauty on the roof. Transplanted into flowerpots, put them on the balcony of my dormitory, and waited on them like an ancestor.When he was free, he didn't stay in the dormitory and the roof of the building in a daze, he went to the library to find materials instead!

Forgive this primitive man for not knowing that there are such things as "Internet cafes" in this world. For his beloved meat, he has almost traveled all over the large and small libraries of S province. Fortunately, at this time, Huaguo has gradually become popular. Succulents have been planted, and many libraries have such books or albums.

Zhang Jingye took out his ID card that he hadn't used since it was completed, and applied for a few library cards. He read all the books or albums that introduced succulents, and then this little fool thought with satisfaction: It's still my name. It sounds good, Jing Ye, what a beautiful flesh!Mama Wu is so prescient, she and Suorou are so destined!

Since then, the stingy Zhang Jingye has become even more stingy:

Pick up the briquettes thrown away by the small restaurant next door!Break up, rinse and dry, and get homemade succulent recipe soil!

In the hotel room, the guest threw away the unnecessary mug and coffee cup, and begged the room cleaning aunt to stay and punch holes for meat!

Dead plants in hotel lobby?Haha great!Return the pot to you, and keep the soil for me!meat...

In addition, during the 6-day rotation, Zhang Jingye also specially set aside half a day to go to the orphanage in the morning to see Mama Wu, take back the expired food and desserts in the hotel for them to taste, and then take the bus Rush to the largest flower and bird market in the provincial capital, or a few private succulent greenhouses, and first appreciate the cute and lovely beauty of the succulents.

Of course!back!Because this guy is too cash-strapped, he can't afford old piles or expensive meat imported from Japan and South Korea, so he can only save money to buy some leaf cuttings, or try his luck at the garbage collection point near the boss's house. If he is lucky, I can pick up some bad-looking seedlings or leaves discarded by the boss. Once, Zhang Jingye was even lucky enough to pick up a small handful of Jingye’s leaves, and a cut off little green bear (bear Tongzi), happily ran back to spread it on the homemade formula soil, and really fiddled with him to get a few beautiful Jingye leaves for seedlings, and Xiong Tongzi also took root smoothly.For the sake of these treasures, the stingy Zhang Jingye specially asked the beautiful sister at the front desk to help buy some white porcelain basins on a certain treasure, and she was still living in the dormitory, so that the meaty people lived in the "luxury house".

Not to mention, man, it doesn't matter if you have money or not, with a career spirit, your outlook will be different!

Ever since he fell in love with succulents, in order to get the cups, soil, leaves, etc. that he wanted, Zhang Jingye, who has always been taciturn, has also become bold. He is not bad looking at first, and he has been raised in the back kitchen of the hotel for several years. , The yellow and thin skin that faded from the orphanage has become handsome and pleasant, with a pair of clear round eyes, a small and straight nose bridge, and two dimples at the corners of the mouth when smiling, not to mention how cute!

I found that there was a cute thing hidden in the back kitchen of my hotel, and the beauties and sisters in the hotel were also frozen, and they pinched the tender cheeks of the little boy at every turn. Knowing that Zhang Jingye likes to grow flowers (it’s succulent!), I met it when I was shopping. It's a fun fleshy bonsai, and I didn't forget to buy one as a gift for him.

And in order to repay the love of her sisters (囧!), Zhang Jingye always likes to give her beautiful succulent potted plants that she has cultivated so hard to give to her sisters. After going back and forth, Zhang Jingye, who was originally taciturn, turned out to be the most popular male in the hotel (Except for the domineering president)!

In the end, because I gave my hotel manager, sister Cheng, a pot of meat platter in the spring, and my sister also liked this cute boy very much, so with a swipe of a pen, he was converted into a chef with a monthly salary plus full attendance performance, etc. There are also nearly 4000 yuan.

The easy-to-satisfy Zhang Jingye suddenly felt that her luck had arrived!

The author said: Sao Nian, it's really a broken picture!

Just half a year after Zhang Jingye became a full-time regular, having saved enough money, he finally decided to go to SD Province, thousands of miles away, to worship the succulent male god in his mind—— Ermu Jun!By the way, ask the male god about succulent planting skills.

"If I can have my own succulent shed in the future, how great it would be to grow, appreciate and photograph meat every day!" Sitting on the bus to SD Province, Zhang Jingye thought happily.

Before he dreamed of taking a photo with his beloved Ermu male god, there was a loud noise, Zhang Jingye opened his eyes and saw that the mother who was sitting next to him was thrown out, and there was a little girl in her arms. Figure: That is a child who just turned one year old! ! !

In desperation, Zhang Jingye dragged the child back without thinking. Unexpectedly, the inertia of the car was so great that the child was not pulled back, and she was dragged out too!

"Why am I so unlucky!!!" Before dying, Zhang Jingye thought sadly, still tightly holding a piece of jade bead chain on the child's wrist...
