Cub's Small Vegetable Garden [Interstellar]

When Betty came home with sunflowers, she happened to meet Charlie who was coming home. Charlie looked at the flower pot in his sister's hand and said, "Betty, where did you get the plants?"

"Brother, this is the sunflower," Betty introduced the plant in her hand to Charlie, "it was given to me by the owner of the sunflower."

"Sunflower?" The name seemed to remind Charlie of something, "Is it the sunflower you often go to Chaoyang Garden to see?" Charlie looked up and down the sunflower in Betty's hand, as a person who knew nothing about plants , he couldn't see anything special about this plant and the others.

"Yeah!" Betty nodded, showing a bright smile to Charlie, with deep dimples: "Brother, Sunflower is a new member of our family from today, are you happy?"

Charlie looked at Betty with a bright smile, and couldn't help laughing himself. He rubbed the soft hair on top of Betty's head and said, "Happy," Charlie urged, "Since someone gave it to you, you have to take care of it." Okay, you know?"

Betty glanced at the sunflower in her arms, she looked at Charlie, her voice was soft and coquettish: "Brother, I want to put it in my bedroom, brother can help me build my balcony Is it an open-air terrace?" Sunflower needs to bask in the sun frequently, otherwise it will be easy to get sick. The balcony in her bedroom has a sunshade roof, so the sun can't come in. With an open-air terrace, Sunflower can be exposed to the sun.

Charlie sighed, petting and helpless: "Okay, I'll go right away."

"Brother is the best!" Betty said sweetly after her request was agreed.

When Anna returned home, she saw Charlie and Betty busy on the balcony. She knocked on the door of Betty's bedroom, looked at the siblings on the balcony and said, "Charlie, Betty, what are you doing?"

"Mom!" Betty walked back to the bedroom from the balcony, picked up the sunflower on the table, and ran to Anna holding it like a little swallow, "Look, this is the sunflower!"

Anna looked at the plant in Betis' hands in surprise: "Isn't this a plant in Lord Kate's garden? How did you bring it back?"

Two years ago, she took Betty to the talent testing agency for a talent test. Betty's plant affinity was tested to be A-level. This is undoubtedly great news for the poor, and at the same time, it makes They are in a quandary.

Betty's talent is very good, but growers need to rely on a lot of planting to grow, and they don't have enough money to support Betty's growth. It was at that time that Lord Kate contacted them and said that he was willing to help them. After Betty has completed her studies, she will go to his Chaoyang Garden to serve him for ten years.

Ten years is not a very long number for an interstellar person with an average lifespan of [-] years.

After communicating with Betty, Anna readily agreed.Compared with the conditions proposed by those who heard the news and wanted to accept Betty under their own sect, the conditions proposed by Lord Kate can be said to be very kind.Perhaps it was because her husband died in an interstellar hunt, and Anna hated those lifelong contracts from the bottom of her heart. If her husband hadn't accepted the order on the black market and hadn't risked hunting in order to complete the mission, he might have will not die.

Today, Anna has worked for the Wilmot family for three years. A year ago, after having some savings, they moved out of the slums. With the help of Lord Kate, they settled here, which is Chaoyang Garden next door.

After they moved into their new home, Mrs. Kate sent his congratulations. He opened Betty's access to the garden. He said that this would allow Betty to see the planters' planting process and get in touch with the plants. growth is beneficial.

There, Betty met the sun flower, and from then on, she would go to the garden to see it every day.

Anna and Charlie often heard its name from Betty and saw its photos many times, so when seeing the sunflower, Anna recognized it immediately.

"Mom, I met the owner of the sunflower today, and he gave me the sunflower." Betty replied, her voice was happy and crisp.

"Give it to you?" Anna was even more surprised. She placed the plants in Chaoyang Garden for foster care. The monthly fee was quite high. Ever since they moved here, Sunflower seemed to have been in the garden. The owner of Sunflower , Just give it to her daughter?

"Did he say anything when he gave it to you?" Anna asked. She couldn't figure out why the other party gave the sun flower to her daughter, and could pay a lot of rent to keep it in the garden for so long , indicating that this plant is very important to the other party, why would you give it away?

"Word?" Betty thought for a while, thinking of the conditions Jiang Li said, "He said, I will bring Sunflowers to see him every week, and he will check the status of Sunflowers."

"That's it?" Anna asked.

Betty recalled it, and after confirming that she hadn't missed anything, she gave Anna an affirmative answer.

"Who is its owner?" Anna asked the last question.

Betty put the sunflower in her arms on the ground first, and she called out Jiang Li's contact information from her brain and showed it to Anna: "Here, it's him."

"Jiang Li..." Anna said aloud, and Charlie, who was walking by, was stunned for a moment when he heard the name Anna said. Someone who arrived was exactly the same.

He walked over and poked his head to look at Betty's brain, but unfortunately, there was no photo on Jiang Li's contact information, he was unwilling to give up, and asked Betty, "Betty, what does the owner of Sunflower look like?"

"Black hair, black eyes, he has a nice voice, and he is very gentle..." Betty talked about her impression of Jiang Li with her fingers.

Listening to Betty's description of the other party, Charlie became more and more convinced that the owner of Sunflower should be the boy who gave him the tomato fruit?

"When you bring Sunflowers to meet him, I'll go with you." Charlie suppressed his excitement, looked at his sister and said.

"Ah?" Betty looked at her brother, not understanding what he was excited about, and nodded in a daze, "Okay, if he agrees."

The autumn sun was warm and bright. In a large garden, a young man with black hair and black eyes was holding a pair of pruning shears, carefully trimming the branches of the chestnut tree in front of him.

Of the chestnut seeds purchased from No. [-] Chestnut Shop on Clara Planet, more than ten seeds successfully germinated. More than three years have passed, and only two are still alive.

Jiang Li circled around the chestnut tree, holding the scissors with his slender and white fingers, "clicking" non-stop, and some dead branches were cut off and fell to the ground. pleasing to the eye.

With the passage of time, Jiang Li's face became more and more refined, the original baby fat disappeared, revealing a graceful arc, his temperament is as gentle as ever, making people feel close, his eyes are clear and clean, look carefully You will find that there is a hint of dimness in his eyes, which is the sadness that he deliberately hides.

"Little master, Orlando is here." Fleck came in from outside the garden.

Jiang Li turned his head and glanced at him, then turned back and continued with the pruning work in hand: "Fleck, go and tell him that I'm busy now and don't have time to entertain him."

Senior Orlando has been looking for him very diligently in the past six months, which troubles him a little.

After Professor Gergil came back from taking samples from the earth, he plunged into the research, analysis and experiment of the samples. Jiang Li and Orlando also participated in this research. Jiang Li thought, maybe it was because of spending more time together, senior Orlando That's why he had such thoughts about him.

He knows the other party's intentions, and it is precisely because of this that he is deliberately indifferent and keeps a distance from the other party, hoping that the other party will retreat in spite of difficulties.

Fleck looked at Jiang Li's back, sighed silently, and replied: "Okay." Then he walked out of the garden.

After pruning, Jiang Li put down the tools in his hand and walked towards the rocking chair not far away. This rocking chair was exactly the same as the one in his bedroom. It was placed under the wisteria trellis, and the sunlight fell on the rocking chair through the gaps between the branches and leaves of the wisteria. , falling spots of light.

He lay down on the rocking chair, took the black ring out of the collar from his neck, rubbed it for a while, and then hid it in the collar again, Jiang Li stared at the blue sky in the distance, and was stunned.

When Wayne sent him a video on Torland to wish him a happy birthday, Jiang Li realized that another year had passed.

He watched Fleck walking over with a cake full of candles, and saw the smiling faces of his partners. Today is his birthday, and he is 24 years old.

Five years have passed since Lei Zhe left him.

"Make a wish." Walter's face flickered in the candlelight, and the others began urging him.

Make a wish?Jiang Li looked at the cake in front of him and the candles on the cake, feeling mixed feelings for a moment.

The sourness in his chest was surging like a sea, he had nowhere to say it, the longing in his heart was getting stronger day by day, he couldn't get rid of it, the memories in his mind were getting brighter day by day, but he felt hopeless.

Jiang Li closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, and made his wish piously: Lei Zhe, come back, come back quickly, come back to me.

I miss you so much.

I miss you so much.

After the birthday party was over, Jiang Li sat quietly in the dark bedroom alone. At this moment, he seemed like a dehydrated fish.

"Master, why are there tears in your eyes?" In the darkness, Little Lucky asked.

Jiang Li touched a little lucky branch, but didn't speak.

Why are there tears in his eyes, because he wants to cry.
