Come on, butcher

After the last test, a group of disheveled students rushed home one by one as if fleeing from famine. At the end of the semester, living expenses were all spent. Many students hadn't tasted meat for half a month or even longer, and urgently needed to return home. Home nutrition.

Xiao Xi is a local, as long as he wants, he can go home to improve his life at any time, so he doesn't rush home like everyone else.Before going home, he decided to go to the flower and bird market near the school. He has been busy with exams recently, so he hasn't been there for a while. I don't know if there are any new products.

It's not a weekend, and there aren't many people in the flower and bird market, so Xiao Xi slowly chooses from house to house.Half of his succulents are bought here, and the rest are bought online. The online shopping is cheaper than the flower market. The advantage of the flower market is that you can see the real thing. The online shopping is often inconsistent with the pictures, and many of them have problems.However, there are relatively few varieties in the flower market, and they are expensive. For example, today he saw a pot of cartoon Tom Xiao Laozhuang, with 10 heads, and the asking price was 100. The boss said that it was from Qunsheng①.Xiao Xi couldn't help but think of the manga Tom who was cut off. After learning from the pain, she still didn't make a move and decided to read it again.

I went to another house and saw a Pingpong Funiang Laozhuang that was out of state, with round leaves that were reddish in silver, not to mention how beautiful it was.Xiao Xi fell in love with this pot of Fu Niang at first sight, and spent more than half an hour with the boss, and finally bought this Fu Niang for 90 yuan. Seeing Fu Niang, she walked back, happily thinking about what kind of pot to use for raising, should I use a glazed celadon pot for raising, or a purple sand pot?

Xiao Xi was immersed in his own thoughts, and when he turned out of the alley, he almost collided with a speeding electric car. He subconsciously took a step back to avoid the danger of being hit, and couldn't help cursing Said: "Riding so fast in the downtown area, fucking reincarnation!" Before the words fell, another electric bicycle rushed past in front of him, and the rider honked the horn while riding: "Let's go! Catch the thief! Stop the electric bike rider in front, he is a thief, catch the thief!"

Xiao Xi dodged back again, this time the flowerpot in his hand was not so lucky, it was hung by the big basket behind the electric car, and fell to the ground with a "slap", Xiao Xi only felt his heart shattered It became eight petals: "My meat!"

The rider obviously didn't notice this, and chased after the thief without looking back. Xiao Xi only saw the back of a white shirt bulging like a sail and a big blue basket tied with a red string.A fat old man caught up with him from behind, panting and shouting: "Catch the thief——Catch the thief——"

Xiao Xi wanted to help catch the thief, but her legs couldn't catch up with the electric car, and someone was already chasing her, so forget it.He squatted down and carefully opened the plastic bag. Most of the chubby leaves that had been squeezed and grown on the branches had fallen off, leaving only the bare poles.Xiao Xi wanted to cry immediately, but felt his heart was bleeding. He looked at the direction where the person disappeared just now, and cursed through gritted teeth: "The thief who killed a thousand knives, pay my lucky lady!"

Xiao Xi drooped his head listlessly, and returned to school with Fu Niang's remains.Thinking about buying succulents in the past two days, the more I think about it, the more depressed I feel, it's really fucking bad.He slowly packed his luggage. There were not many other things, but he packed two big boxes of succulents he bought online.Although it is said that succulents are desert plants, they are drought-tolerant, and it is not a problem if they are not watered for ten and a half months, but he dare not just put them in the dormitory to dry for two months. He probably will turn into mummies when he comes back. .

Xiao Xi packed her luggage and took a taxi to go home.This city is very small, Xiao Xi has lived here since he was a child, and he is so familiar with every corner of the city that he doesn't even bother to go shopping.According to his personality, it is impossible for him to go to university at the door of his house. A big old man squatting at the door of his house all day long is useless.However, he didn't get into the university he wanted, and in the end he only went to the Transportation College at his doorstep. Who told him that he likes sailing.

The taxi drove into Binhai Road. This area is a high-end residential area, full of duplex buildings and Chinese-style villas, backed by mountains and facing the sea, with an excellent geographical location and excellent view. Xiao Xi's house is one of the villas.As far as Xiao Xi's family is rich, it's not that much. The reason for Xiaofu's family is that the housing price here is not high, and the house is an internal price given by his father's client. They bought it early and it's quite cheap.

A big house has the advantages of a big house, spacious and comfortable, and an independent garden.But there are also disadvantages. For example, Xiao Xi's mother often complains that the house is too wide and difficult to take care of. It is easy to rust and peel off, and the electrical appliances in the home are also particularly prone to damp and mildew.According to his mother's words, the so-called sea view villa means that it looks beautiful, but it's hard to live in.

Xiao Xi's father felt sorry for his wife, and with a wave of his hand, he found a part-time worker who would do a small sweep every day and a big sweep every week, so as not to tire his wife.Xiao's father dotes on his wife very much, but is very strict with his son. Although the family is not short of money, the monthly living expenses given to Xiao Xi are at the level of ordinary college students, one thousand and two per month.Xiao Xi has a lot of hobbies that burn money, such as animation figures, ship models, etc. Now he has added more meat, except for the living expenses saved, the New Year’s money received during the New Year, and his mother’s secret subsidies, most of them are his own Earned by scholarships and part-time jobs.

Dad Xiao is not at home as usual. He opened a law firm, the business is very busy, he often works overtime, and rarely has holidays.Xiao Xi's mother is a clerk of the court, and she has a leisurely job. In her spare time, she spends her free time at home raising flowers, teasing dogs, playing cards, and taking care of skin care.Life is comfortable, but people age slowly. She is in her 40s, and she looks at least ten years younger than her actual age. She has already left work and is cooking dinner in the kitchen.Seeing her son coming back, she was so happy: "Honey, you're back? You can eat in a while." With such a handsome son, which mother is not proud.

"Well, mom, I'll go to work first. Call me when the meal is ready." After Xiao Xi greeted his mother, he went to put the succulents he brought back. He spun around his feet, Xiao Xi bent down to touch it, and continued to busy with his own business.

Xiao's mother loves to grow flowers, and the whole yard is full of flowers and plants. Xiao Xi is fascinated by it, and also likes flowers and plants, but he only grows succulents.The succulents are kept in the yard. In order to keep out the sun and rain, he specially bought a large solid wood flower stand. As soon as he got to the flower stand, Xiao Xi was dumbfounded, and then raised his voice: "Mom, are you touching my flesh again?" Already?!" He jumped back in fright, and ran back to the steps to take refuge.

At the moment, the flower stand is in a mess, at least one-third of the hundreds of pots of succulents are dead or injured, either black rot or melted water, it is simply horrible.Xiao Xi was very distressed. He tried his best to control his anger, and kept yelling: "Didn't I tell you all the time last time, you don't need to water me, but you still water it! It's all watered to death!"

Xiao's mother heard the movement in the yard, and ran out quickly: "I didn't, I know you said not to water it, so you didn't water it again. Is it raining?"

Xiao Xi red eyes: "It hasn't rained heavily during this time."

Xiao's mother thought for a while: "It might have been poured by the part-time worker. I'm sorry, but mother forgot to tell her."

Xiao Xi wanted to cry but had no tears. Looking at those poor fleshy flesh, he raised his fist and put it down again, he didn't know who to get angry at.

Xiao's mother saw her son like this: "Son, don't be angry, it's all mother's fault, and mother will give you money to buy it."

Xiao Xi said angrily: "Forget it, I'll figure it out myself!" With grief, he picked out the succulents that had problems one by one.It took one afternoon and one night to finally clean up all the melted water and black rotten succulents. Those that should be replaced with soil should be replaced with soil, those that should be beheaded should be beheaded, and those without heads can only be left with leaves, which can be rescued. How much counts.Most succulents like light and hate humidity. In China, summer is the time for succulents. Because the temperature is too high, it is especially necessary to control water. If there is too much water, the roots are easy to rot, and they cannot escape the fate of black rot and water.Therefore, when raising meat in summer, I would rather not water it, and it would not be waterlogged.

Xiao Xi repeatedly told his family members not to care about his succulents, and let him fend for himself, but in the end he was murdered, and it was impossible to guard against.He recalled two days ago in the auction group that he saw meat friends talking about the painful experience of succulents being taken care of by their families. He didn't expect to encounter it himself. Alas, every meat-raising person has a loving family!

During dinner, Xiao's father didn't come back, and the mother and son sat at the table to eat. This situation was already used to in Xiao's family. Occasionally, Xiao's father came back to eat, and Xiao Xi would still feel very surprised.While eating, Xiao's mother apologized to her son and promised that the nanny would stop watering his succulents.

While eating, Xiao's mother asked, "Is there no internship this summer?"

Xiao Xi didn't even look up: "No, I already had an internship last year." The next internship will be on the ship after graduation.

Xiao's mother nodded: "Then there is nothing else to do this summer vacation?"

"What?"

Xiao's mother thought about it and said, "Baby, your aunt told me that she wants you to make up lessons for Rourou."

Xiao Xi suddenly raised her head and stared at her mother: "Make up lessons for her? I'm a half-baked person myself, so I won't go! I've already agreed with Uncle Liu that I'll go to his shrimp fishing restaurant to help out during the holidays." Rourou is his uncle's daughter , who is only in the fifth grade, and his uncle got such a daughter when he was almost 40 years old. She is too precious, and she has a very arrogant personality. She loses her temper when she disagrees with her. He is good-looking, but he doesn't like this princess sick little cousin very much.

Mama Xiao said, "Are you tired at the Shrimp Fishing House? Your aunt said that she is a tutor, and she will also give you tuition fees."

Xiao Xi shook her head like a rattle: "No, no, no amount of money, I am determined not to go! You push it for me, just say I'm not free." After finishing the meal in a hurry, she quickly sprinkled The bowl went upstairs.

Xiao's mother looked at her son's back: "Xixi, are you full?"

"I'm full!" Xiao Xi's figure had disappeared at the corner of the stairs.

Back in the room, he called Uncle Liu and agreed to go to the shrimp fishing restaurant tomorrow to work.The mobile phone showed that the information in the auction group had exploded. He clicked in and saw that the group was chatting in full swing. Some were talking about succulents, some about the weather, and some about movies. The topics were varied.Xiao Xi posted the picture of Fu Niang bought today, which aroused everyone's attention. They all said it was beautiful, and then he posted a photo of Fu Niang's remains: "But my Fu Niang has become like this now. [crying]"

Everyone was busy asking what was going on, and Xiao Xi told the story of the electric car caught by the thief at the gate of the flower market today, and the more he talked, the more heartbroken he became.

Everyone was regretting Fu Niang's matter, Bai Han sent him a private chat and asked him: "Did anyone hit him?"

Xiao Xi said, "No, I'm fine, it's just that Fu Niang fell apart."

Bai Han comforted him: "It's good that people didn't hit it. Put all the leaves up, maybe you can survive." He was talking about leaf cuttings, and many succulents can be propagated with leaves.

Xiao Xi said: "It's all plugged in, but I think this season is very precarious. Don't worry about it, just let fate."

Bai Han asked: "Are you guys on vacation? I'm also on vacation in two days. Do you still want to go to Yunnan?"

Xiao Xi just remembered that Bai Han had proposed to travel to Yunnan during the summer vacation, but at that time he did not give a positive answer: "I may not be able to go, I have no money, so I will go to work tomorrow." , looking for the locals to bring fare evasion, but Xiao Xi knows that no matter how poor you are traveling, you can’t save food and car rides, and you can’t have fun without a few thousand dollars. Xiao Xi is not willing to ask her parents for money to travel, although his mother Definitely will.

"Go ahead, you'll graduate next year, and you won't have vacations if you work, and it's inconvenient to go out to play. You tell your mother, she will definitely support you." Bai Han continued to lobby.

Xiao Xi said: "I'm sorry, but I don't want to go. When I get on the ship, I can play around the world, hehe." He is going to be a sailor, and he will have many days to travel around.

Bai Han felt a little regretful: "You really don't want to go? Then I will go. I have made an appointment with a classmate. I heard that the succulents in Yunnan grow very well. You really don't want to go and see them?"

"Go and see more for me." Xiao Xi has also seen many pictures posted by Yunnan meat friends, and it is true that they grow very beautiful just by planting them casually. He also wants to take a look, but he is poor now Let's talk about it later.

"Then let me bring you a present."

The author has something to say: Notes: ① Qunsheng refers to the bursting of many buds from one root.

Everyone who raises succulents has a family full of love. The Ji Xingmei I bought before, they all exploded, but my dad just poured them out, and they died/(ㄒoㄒ)/~~
