Summer of Fireflies

There was still a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, which showed that he must be having some sweet dreams. I got up and walked to him, removed the comic book that was pressed on his chest, and covered him again with the blanket that fell to the ground.

Weekends without going to work are easy to pass, or you can stay at home and be a rice bug. I am a rice bug who is lazy and sleepy, and An An is a millet bug who plays otaku comics. Even if we stay at home, our two mothers will not Can't find anything to do.

Either way, the weekend is a day for shopping, or invite Anna and An An to go shopping together, or go to see the scenery together.

There are many scenic spots for tourists to enjoy in Palermo. The most typical ones are Norman, Byzantine and Islamic European-style buildings. Some buildings also have strong Arabic colors, such as columns and wall carvings. Italy The writer Dante praised the city of Palermo as "the most beautiful Muslim city in the world".

Thinking of the pots of flowers and trees in front of my house, I picked up the watering pot and walked out of the house.

People in this residential area have the habit of planting potted plants, and I am no exception. Some potted plants can not only increase carbon dioxide to purify the air, beautify the house, but also kill bacteria and repel mosquitoes.

In my living room, I put a fig plant and two pots of aloe vera that can sterilize and vacuum. On the balcony, there is a pot of lucky bamboo and tall cycads. They are all good for maintaining the humidity and temperature balance in the room. Dressing table and desk There are beautiful pots of orchids in the garden, spider plants and pothos in the kitchen and bedroom, sansevieria in the bathroom that can purify the air, and I planted climbing ivy on the gate in front of the house.

From the gate to the front steps there is a small clearing where I planted two special varieties of sunflowers, 'Teddy Bear' and 'PradoRed'.

"Teddy bears" are another novelty breed.It is a dwarf variety with abundant orange petals that give it a somewhat fuzzy appearance. 'PradoRed' has black cores surrounded by reddish tan flowers, a color known as 'autumn beauty' and 'afterglow of a setting sun'.I went out this time to water them.

Although the sunflowers in front of my house haven't bloomed yet, I'm sure they'll look great when they all bloom in a while.

"Senior Lisa."

Hearing the familiar voice, I stopped watering the flowers and looked up. The brown-haired young man at the opposite door was looking at me with his hands on the railing with a smile in his eyes.

"Gunji-kun, what's the matter?" I stared at his smiling face suspiciously.

"Nothing." The young man smiled brightly, and his eyes were as warm as water. "I saw my senior sister watering the flowers, so I couldn't help but come over to have a look."

"Does Gangji-kun want to come over and help me water the flowers?" I smiled at him.

Unable to answer yes or no, the young man scratched his face in embarrassment, "Sister, don't embarrass me."

I chuckled, what he said was not wrong, it was not embarrassing to ask a big man who doesn't understand flowers at all to water the flowers or something, "I'm just joking, Tsunaji-kun." I lowered my head and continued to water my flowers slowly Hua, "Hey, does Tsunayoshi-kun know the flower language of sunflowers?" I asked him.

"Is it... the sun?" The young man asked uncertainly.

"That's right, the flower language of sunflowers is the sun." After watering the flowers, I rolled up my sleeves and squatted down to pull out a few unsightly weeds and throw them into the grass basket.

Sunflower, also known as sunflower, gets its name because its flowers often face the sun.The Italian name of sunflower is: girasol, which, like the Chinese name, is also named based on the characteristic of "sunflower".In addition, sunflower also has a beautiful name called "Wangrilian".

"Does Tsunayoshi know the legend of the sunflower?" I asked.

"Is it that Greek mythology?"

"Well." I nodded and continued the work of weeding, "Clytie is a goddess of the sea. She was once the lover of the sun god Helios, but later Helios fell in love with the Persian princess Leukotuo Er. Clytie, who was burning with anger, reported the relationship between Leucotau and Helios to the Persian king Erkamos. Erkamos ordered the unfaithful daughter to be buried alive. Helios had After knowing this, he completely cut off contact with Clytie. The infatuated Clytie did not eat or drink for several days, staring at Helios driving the sun chariot to the east and the west, becoming haggard day by day, and finally turned into a tree Sunflower, which is now the sunflower."

After a few minutes, I finally saw that the weeds were almost uprooted by me. I stood up with a grass basket and a water bottle, and my eyes reached the same height as the young man's clean chin. What is your impression of the poignant and moving love story?" Many people fall in love with sunflowers growing in the sun because of this poignant love story, but I am not one of them.

The brown-haired young man leaned forward towards the railing, as if listening with great interest.

I smiled slyly, and said: "The goddess of the sea is an idiot, she gave her lover a wrong heart, the sun god has the best character, the king of Persia is inferior to a beast, and the princess of Persia was shot while lying down."

youth:"……"

"Am I not right?" I tilted my head and blinked at the young man. "The story is indeed very poignant, but that's not why I like sunflowers."

"The reason why I like sunflowers is because of their positive nature." Everyone knows that sunflowers are phototropic, and people call them "sunflowers", flowers that circle around with the sun. "In the ancient Inca Empire, the sunflower was a symbol of the sun god. Therefore, the flower language of the sunflower is the sun. It is said that people born with the blessing of this flower have a bright and happy heart like the sun."

"Everyone should have a sunflower in his heart. No matter black or white in this world, no matter how dark your heart is, as long as you are alone, you will have a sunflower." Especially after experiencing many difficulties and pains, still Being able to face the sun with the most beautiful smile is why I like sunflowers.

"I think Tsuna Ji-kun is very similar to a sunflower." While possessing Xiangyang, he exudes the same warm light as the sun. I patted the dirt on my body and planned to leave. I just took a few steps and suddenly stopped Stepping back, "Perhaps... maybe... Tsuna Ji-jun also has a sunflower in his heart."

At the moment when the young man was dazed, I had already returned to my house with a straw basket on my shoulders.

The author has something to say: there is no message, if you want to cry, there is no reason!

I know that this chapter of mine is literary, there is no way, my humor cells are ruthlessly killed by your non-commentary comments!

8. Cool in early summer

"Tsunayoshi-kun." I stood at the door of Sawada Tsunayoshi and knocked on the door of his house. Soon, the door opened in response, and a surprised figure of a brown-haired young man stood out from the door.

I smiled at the young man, "I bought a box of lemons the day before yesterday, and today I made some lemon pie and lemon smoothie. If you don't mind, Gang Ji, would you like to come over and have a taste?" The main reason is that you have made too much, An An And my mother and son couldn't kill so many desserts.

The young man thought for a while, then nodded to me, "Sister, please wait for me first." After speaking, the young man walked into the inner room.

I took a rough look inside through the concealed door. It was a villa similar to ours, except that the hall inside was larger than ours, and the decoration was more exquisite and luxurious than ours.There was a sound of flipping through documents in the room, it is estimated that the young man is sorting out his office documents.

It took a minute for the young man to come out of his room. From my home to the young man's home, it only takes more than ten meters to walk.

Soon I brought the youth into my house.

Although An An doesn't like Zetian Tsunayoshi, but in view of the lesson from last time, and I gave him a break in advance, seeing the young man came, he didn't embarrass him too much, and he stopped talking to the young man after calling "Hello, uncle" Already, he buried himself in destroying the dessert in his hand.

I snatched the lemon pie from the little guy's hand, and asked sharply, "An'an, didn't I tell you not to steal any more?"

An An kept his scorching gaze on the dessert, and Ping Ping mouth looked very aggrieved, "Lisa, An An didn't steal it." After a pause, he continued: "I am eating it openly."

"I can't be fair and honest." I raised my eyebrows, not intending to compromise with him, I put the lemon pie I took aside, grabbed a tissue and bent down to wipe his mouth, "Look at you, eat something It can also eat food all over its mouth, just like a little cat."

I sighed, but the action of wiping the little guy's mouth was very gentle, and I squinted down at the little guy's round belly, "You still want to eat after eating so much, does An An want your mother to take you to the hospital for sightseeing?" ?” This kid is not afraid of anything. First, he is afraid of not having sweets, and second, he is afraid of going to the hospital to take bitter medicine. Because he is a standard sweet eater, he can’t swallow a little bit of bitterness.

Sweets and hospitals are his two thorns.

"Okay." Seeing that the little guy's mouth was wiped clean by me, I was very satisfied with this, and I glanced at the comic book under his stomach, and I supported my forehead with a headache, "Eating so much is not enough. Lie down and read for me, An An, do you really want to go to the hospital or do you really want to go to the hospital?"

Hearing my warning, An An shook his head in horror, and finally calmed down, although his eyes were still wandering from the lemon pie on the table.

The little guy jumped up from the sofa very sensiblely, his legs were still kneeling on the sofa, but his small body was as straight as a bamboo pole.

I patted his little head like a puppy, "I want to read a book and go back to your room." I was afraid of him
