Chapter 132
In the morning, after breakfast, Chu Yang was tidying up the ridges in the yard.
The yard was a little empty, so he planned to plant climbing roses along the corners of the wall, and then make two flower walls.
Chu Xi agreed with his proposal.
But there was a problem, they didn't have seeds.
"Hai Kai's family has some, we can go to her house to get them." Chu Xi smiled.
"Where did she get the seeds?" Chu Yang asked curiously.
"Because her mother planted a lot of flowers at home." Chu Xi replied.
"Are there any?"
Chu Yang was not sure, he didn't seem to see He Xijun's house last time.
But since Chu Xi said it, it shouldn't be wrong, the two girls often visit each other.
"Then let's go over and take a look."
Chu Yang came to the door of He Xijun's house familiarly, and just as he was about to knock on the door, Chu Xi pushed the door and walked in.
Haidai was feeding rice to the chicks in the yard. When she saw the two people coming, she sprinkled the rice on the ground, causing the chicks to scramble for it.
"Brother Chuyang, Xiaoxi, why are you here?" She clapped her hands, ran over and took Chuxi's hand and asked with a smile.
"Brother wants to plant a beautiful flower wall in the yard, and wants to get some seeds from you..."
Chuxi's mouth was chattering, and soon explained her purpose.
"The flower seeds were put away by my mother. If you want to get them, you have to ask her." Xiao Haidai replied.
After that, she ran into the house, still holding Chuxi in her hand.
Chuyang was embarrassed to barge in. If he saw something he shouldn't see, it would be embarrassing.
Less than a minute later, he saw He Xijun coming out of the backyard, rubbing her hands and smiling:
"I was just feeding the pigs in the backyard, and Haikai said you wanted flower seeds?"
At this time, no smart experts have proposed to ban the free-range livestock and poultry in rural areas, so fishing villages that have some conditions will raise some chickens, ducks and geese, like Sun Qingjun's family raises several.
Slaughtering and selling them during the New Year is also an important income for farmers.
Chu Yang thought to himself that it was no wonder that He Cunhua had a strong smell of dregs, and if you smelled it carefully, it also had a bit of sauce.
"Sister He, do you also feed pigs with wine?" he asked curiously.
"Drinking?"
He Xijun was stunned at first, and then reacted immediately, smiling and said: "You are talking about distiller's grains, yes, distiller's grains can fatten pigs and promote digestion. I can see that you have never fed pigs."
Chu Yang was immediately embarrassed, this really involved his knowledge blind spot.
Fortunately, He Xijun did not dwell on this issue too much, but changed the subject and said:
"Come with me, the flowers I planted are all on the balcony, you can see which ones you want."
After that, she turned and walked towards the second floor.
Chu Yang thought about it and quickly followed.
He Xijun walked in front to lead the way, and Chu Yang's eyes inevitably fell on her back.
Today she wore a light gray short-sleeved shirt. Maybe it was old, the collar was turned up and the cuffs were loose. When she waved her arms, she could vaguely see the light blue flower bowl inside.
Underneath her body was a pair of light yellow linen trousers. The originally loose hips were stretched tightly when she raised her legs because they were too plump in a certain place, showing an amazing curve.
And although linen is breathable and cool, it also has a disadvantage, that is, it absorbs moisture. Once a little water or sweat is stained on it, it is easy to stick to the skin.
Chu Yang moved his eyes away from the triangular mark with difficulty and began to look at other things.
Although He Xijun's house was one of the first bungalows in the village, the rural bungalows of that time were different from the fashionable small two-and-a-half-story houses of later generations. They were relatively simple, with the walls simply painted with white lime, and the steps were not even smoothed, with potholes.
There were no handrails next to the steps. Looking back through the hollow window wall, you can see a semi-open-air pigpen with a blue plastic roof. Two dark-skinned second brothers were buried in the pig trough and digging wildly. From time to time, they looked up to show their juicy pig faces and hummed happily.
"Go this way."
He Xijun said after going up to the second floor.
Chu Yang followed, and as soon as he turned around, he understood why Chu Xi said that Xiao Haidai had planted a lot of flowers at home.
On the balcony on the second floor against the mountain, dozens of flower pots were placed in different heights.
Green ivy, evergreen, agave, maidenhair fern, ivy, petunia, rose, and many others that Chu Yang couldn't name.
"Sister He, did you plant all these flowers?"
Chu Yang asked in surprise. These flowers are growing well, with lush branches and leaves, and they are well cared for.
"Well, I like to play with these flowers and plants since I was a child, but they are useless."
He Xijun said a little embarrassedly.
In the countryside, playing with flowers and plants is a very unprofessional thing. When she first got married, her parents-in-law scolded her for it several times, so she stopped.Later, the old couple passed away, and the kelp grew up a bit. She didn't need to watch it all the time, so she started to fiddle with flowers and plants again.
"No, it's grown very well. If it's put in a flower shop, there will definitely be a lot of people vying to buy it."
Chu Yang suddenly felt that everyone in the village was talented.
There's no need to talk about men like Sun Qingjun. He is good at raising pigs, farming, tea making, and fishing.
Even a pretty widow like He Xijun is good at both being a lady in the living room and a good cook. She also grows flowers well.
With this skill, if she had it more than ten years later, she could just open a flower shop or set up a self-media account, shoot daily videos of farming, cooking, and growing flowers, and post some small links. She could easily make several W a month.
"No way, I just grow them for fun. Whoever sells them will sell them."
He Xijun said this, but the look in her eyes betrayed her.
In fact, she has tried to sell her flowers before, and even took a few pots to the town dock to sell.
But these days, people buy radishes and cabbages, but no one buys flowers.
Even if there are young people who like romance, they choose to go to the flower shop to buy roses and lilies. It is very rare to spend money on potted plants.
"There will be opportunities in the future." Chu Yang said with a smile.
He thought that when the island's tourism industry develops, there will be more tourists, and there will naturally be a customer base.
"I hope so."
He Xijun sighed lightly, and then asked Chu Yang, "What flowers do you want to plant in the yard?"
Chu Yang told her his idea.
"The walls of the front and back yards are planted as flower walls?"
He Xijun was surprised.
She, a woman, planted some flowers on the balcony and was pointed at by the villagers, saying that she was not doing her job properly.
Chu Yang is a grown man, but he is so high-profile. Those gossipers may slander him.
"Those old women know nothing. They have no taste for life." Chu Yang sneered.
He is not a shit, so he doesn't care about the opinions of green-headed flies.
"Okay, then I suggest you mix two or three colors of roses, so that the flower wall will look better and not monotonous."
Chu Yang thought about it and nodded, "It's a good suggestion, I'll do as you say."
