Come on, butcher

When getting off work at night, Xiao Xi pushed her bicycle past the home entrance, and the lights were still on in the shed. After thinking about it, Xiao Xi parked her car and entered the shed.Zheng Haifei squatted in front of a few aloe trees, concentrating on it, and Xiao Xi went in, but he couldn't be disturbed.

Those aloe plants looked no different from other aloe plants. Xiao Xi had heard from Zheng Haifei that this was a spiral aloe, also called queen aloe, and it would be amazing when it grew up.Xiao Xi searched for pictures of Queen Aloe on the Internet, that guy is really domineering, worthy of the title of Queen, and Xiao Xi is also very much looking forward to its adulthood.

Xiao Xi coughed lightly: "Boss Zheng, haven't you rested yet?"

Zheng Haifei slowly turned his head to look at Xiao Xi, his movements were as slow as the slow motion of a movie camera, he blinked his eyes and regained focus: "Haven't you gone back yet?" His voice was a little hoarse because he hadn't spoken for a long time.

Xiao Xi walked over: "Not yet, just got off work and was about to go back. What are you doing, why are you still not resting so late?"

Zheng Haifei raised his hand and gently stroked the leaves of the aloe vera, as affectionately as if he was stroking his little lover: "It's okay, just look at it."

Xiao Xi asked: "You have been raising aloes for a long time, haven't you?"

Zheng Haifei said: "Well, it's been eight years. I raised it when I was on the boat."

It took eight years to grow up like this, so how long will it take to become an adult?However, Xiao Xi's attention quickly shifted to another question: "On the ship? Have you been in the navy?" This question has been on his mind for a long time, and he never found a chance to ask it.

Zheng Haifei shook his head: "No, I have been a seaman for several years."

Xiao Xi suddenly became excited, and looked at Zheng Haifei with the eyes of meeting a confidant: "Really? I also want to be a seaman. I only majored in engineering. I can go on a ship after graduation next year."

Zheng Haifei turned his head to look at him again, and asked in an unbelievable tone: "Are you graduating from college soon?"

Xiao Xi lifted her chin triumphantly: "Master is a junior this year."

Zheng Haifei said slowly: "I thought you were a senior in high school."

Xiao Xi rolled his eyes at him angrily: "You are only in the third year of high school."

Zheng Haifei couldn't help laughing, the smile was too strong, and the mischievous Huya appeared again. He felt that Xiao Xi looked like a minor in everything except his size: "Why do you want to be a crew member?"

Speaking of this, Xiao Xi became excited: "My journey is the sea of ​​stars, the stars are too far away, I will conquer the sea first."

"Just like it." Zheng Haifei looked at the optimistic and idealistic boy in front of him, and couldn't bear to pour cold water on him, so he just nodded and turned his gaze back to the aloe.

Xiao Xi was still very excited, he tugged at Zheng Haifei's arm: "Hey, Boss Zheng, tell me about your experience as a seaman, how is it? Is it fun? Is it fun? Don't you feel very proud?"

Zheng Haifei smiled wryly. Who told him that being a sailor is very cool and fun, and said lightly: "It's a matter of opinion. If you can stand loneliness and have no entertainment or internet for a few months, you can still try it."

Xiao Xi scratched his ears. He hadn't had the internet for several months. He hasn't tried it yet, but he will get used to it, right?

Zheng Haifei added: "You have to try it before you know whether you like it or not."

"Yes! I thought so too." Xiao Xi asked again, "Why did you go to sea? And why did you go ashore?"

Zheng Haifei smiled self-deprecatingly: "Life is forced."

Xiao Xi didn't expect that Zheng Haifei's answer would be so straightforward, and it had nothing to do with his ideals and preferences. This is probably the gap between an adult and a student like him who hasn't left school. "Then what do you want to do?"

Zheng Haifei glanced around and smiled slightly: "It's probably the way it is now, the years are quiet and the world is stable."

Xiao Xi said: "Do you think this kind of life is really what you want? Don't you think there are any shortcomings?" He thinks that the greenhouse is very good, but life is fixed in such a small circle, won't you feel bored and depressed?

Zheng Haifei looked up at the roof of the shed, and then sighed: "How can everything be perfect in life?"

Xiao Xi didn't know what Zheng Haifei's shortcomings were until the end, so he didn't ask any further.When he went back, he was stopped by Zheng Haifei: "Don't call me boss from now on, you can call me Brother Zheng or Brother Hai. If you call me Boss Boss, I think I'm very philistine."

Xiao Xi smiled, and made an "OK" gesture to him: "Okay, goodbye, brother Zheng!" After speaking, he kicked off the pedals of the mountain bike with both legs, and rushed into the night against the cool wind.

Zheng Haifei watched him leave, took out his mobile phone and called Zhang Huaming, but the answer he got was still refusal, he refused to come to the greenhouse, saying he would stay with him at the hospital overnight.Zheng Haifei frowned. For some reason, Hua Ming was becoming more and more at odds with him. If it was a rebellious period, it would have come too late.

Early the next morning, Xiao Xi received a call from Bai Han: "Pig, are you still sleeping late? I'm back, come and pick me up!"

Xiao Xi scolded with a smile: "You are the pig! I have to go to work, you can find me in the suburbs, and I will take you to see the greenhouse by the way."

"Damn it! Didn't you? You've already left? I'm already at your door, won't you let me be shut down?" Bai Han muttered.

Xiao Xi opened the curtains and saw that Bai Han was riding on a bicycle with his long legs propped on the ground, stretching his neck to look into the yard.Xiao Xi laughed, moved the phone away and waved downstairs, saying loudly, "Hey, I'm here, I haven't left yet."

Bai Han cheered up: "Hurry up and open the door, I'll bring you something to eat."

Xiao Xi ran downstairs, opened the door, and gave Bai Han an old punch: "I came so early, do you miss me, brother?"

Bai Han is a few months younger than Xiao Xi, so Xiao Xi always calls himself his elder brother, but Bai Han doesn't agree, Xiao Xi is more naive than him in everything except being taller than him: "Get lost!" As he spoke, he took off a bag on the handlebar of the bicycle and threw it to Xiao Xi, "I brought it for you."

Xiao Xi hugged it, opened it and looked: "Hee hee, rose tea, flower cake. You still have a conscience, and you haven't forgotten me after eating, drinking and having fun." He opened the box, took out a flower cake from it, and couldn't wait to bite it After one sip, a strong rose fragrance filled the mouth, although it was cold, it was still very sweet.

"How can it be?" Bo Han said, "Let's go in and eat. I also brought you a few pots of succulent."

Xiao Xi peeked into another bag on the handlebar of the bicycle, and sure enough, he saw several pots of succulent: "What is this?"

Bai Han said: "Mountain roses."

Xiao Xi said, "Why doesn't it look like it?"

"You don't know the rose without dormancy?" Bai Han gave him a white look.

Xiao Xi ate the rose cake: "Aren't they all dormant in summer? Why don't they dormant?"

"Well, the summer in Yunnan is very cool this year, and it hasn't started to go dormant yet. But it is estimated that it will go dormant here." Bai Han said.

Xiao Xi walked in while eating, and Bai Han looked around in the yard: "Your succulents are on the shelf over there, let me see how they look."

Xiao Xi's mouth was full of pancakes, and she managed to swallow them before she said: "The family is gone, and I have been fostered in a shed. I will take you to see it in a while, and it will open your eyes."

Bai Han looked at him: "They all moved, and there is no one left at home?"

Xiao Xi said: "No. I can't take care of it well, I have died too much, and my heart aches."

"Then are the ones I gave you still there?" Bai Han asked.

Xiao Xi laughed dryly: "The ones you gave me are almost dead, it seems that there are only one or two left."

Bai Han hurriedly asked: "What's left?"

Xiao Xi frowned and thought for a while: "I forgot whether it was the blue stone lotus or the first love."

There was a trace of imperceptible joy on Bai Han's face: "The first love is still alive?"

Xiao Xi said: "I'm not sure either. I'll find out after a while." They entered the house and put down their things. Xiao Xi wanted to pour water and get some snacks, but Bai Han urged him to go to the shed.

Xiao Xi said: "Then we have to have breakfast before going."

Bai Han suggested: "I want to eat seafood noodles, let's go out to eat. Just go to the one we used to go to."

The one he was talking about was a noodle shop near their high school alma mater. It was cheap and good. They often ate noodles there when they were in school. When Xiao Xi was mentioned by Bai Han, he suddenly missed the taste: "Good!"

The two went out together, and Xiao Xi took the mountain roses that Bai Han gave him, because most of them were hung at home.Bai Han seemed a little excited, and raced with Xiao Xi on the bike all the way, the two chased each other, didn't even say a few words, only laughed all the way.

Because it was summer vacation, the students were on vacation, and there were few people in the noodle shop. The boss heard that the two were graduates of No. [-] Middle School, so he enthusiastically ordered two bowls of noodles for them, as well as plenty of shrimp and oysters.While eating noodles, Bai Han put the shrimp in his bowl into Xiao Xi's bowl: "Here, your favorite food."

Xiao Xi said vaguely while eating the noodles: "Why don't you eat shrimp, are you constipated?"

Bai Han rolled his eyes: "Idiot!"

Xiao Xi ignored him, stuffed the prawns into his mouth, and said happily, "Yes, if you don't eat it for nothing!"

After eating the noodles, both of them shy away from their full stomachs, pushing the cart while walking to digest food.When Bai Han asked about the succulent shed, Xiao Xi talked about Guihang eloquently, with the pride, as if Guihang belonged to him.After listening to a few words, Bai Han asked, "Is that the one opened by our group leader?"

As soon as Xiao Xi mentioned Zheng Haifei, he suddenly regained his energy: "Yes. Our group leader's name is Zheng Haifei. You know, he used to be a sailor. Do you think I have a special relationship with me? It's just a coincidence, right?"

Bai Han turned his head to look at Xiao Xi: "How about others?"

Xiao Xi smiled: "He's a pretty good person. I put my succulents in his place, and he doesn't ask for my foster care fee. He looks much better than when he was at my house, hehe."

Bai Han frowned slightly, and didn't speak any more.

When the two arrived at the shed, they found the door was open and there was no one inside. Xiao Xi led Bai Han in with ease, introduced him to all kinds of succulents, and then asked proudly: "Do you know this kind? "

Bai Han has a bit more knowledge about succulents than Xiao Xi, but he only raised them a few months earlier, and he doesn't know many varieties: "Where are your succulents?"

Xiao Xi said: "Here it is. The boss put it in the not-for-sale section for me, giving me special preferential treatment."

Bai Han hurried over to look at Xiao Xi's succulent, scanned around and then again: "Where is the one I gave you?"

Xiao Xi looked at it, pointed to the two faience pots and said, "That's it, these two are the only ones left."

Bai Han took a look: "You remember correctly, right? These are Tarlock and White Peony, where is First Love and Blue Stone Lotus? You have raised succulents for so long, and you don't even know the most common ones?"

Xiao Xi smiled: "Really? Back then you gave me the label, so I recorded it according to that."

"I gave it to you, but you must have confused it! This is not first love at all." Bai Han sighed, "It's a pity, I sent you all the best succulents I raised, and it turned out These two are left."

Xiao Xi laughed: "Oh, that may be because I remembered it wrong. It's okay, I'll make up the dead ones from the shed. Brother Zheng, do you have a first love?" He happened to see Zheng Haifei coming in from the back door of the shed , raised his hand and greeted him loudly.

Zheng Haifei was asked such a question by Xiao Xi when he came in, his ears turned red suddenly, and he realized after a while: "Oh, yes. Do you want to buy your first love? This way."

Bai Han turned his head, saw Zheng Haifei, and muttered something in his heart, Xiao Xi didn't hear it, he pulled Bai Han and walked towards Zheng Haifei: "This is our group leader, you see so much meat, all of which are raised by him alone, Great, right? Brother Zheng is now my idol. Brother Zheng, this is my friend, Bo Han, who is also in the auction group, and his online name is Sui Hanzhi Houwei."

Zheng Haifei stretched out his hand to Bai Han: "Hi, I'm Zheng Haifei, my screen name is Guan Er, you can call me Brother Zheng."

"Hello, Boss Zheng." Bai Han shook hands with the other party, looked at the other party, a few centimeters taller than himself, full of aggressive looks, handsome and manly, a typical male and female killer.

Xiao Xi was in a very good mood: "Let's be considered face-to-face, hehe. By the way, where is the first love?"

Zheng Haifei pointed to a blue-purple plant with pinkish pointed leaves and said, "Here it is."

Xiao Xi leaned over and took a look: "This is my first love, she doesn't look very good-looking. The name is quite romantic, who gave it to me?"

Zheng Haifei said: "It's based on its color. After being exposed to the sun, it will turn pink, like the color of love."

Xiao Xi turned her head and gave Bai Han an elbow, and winked at him: "Hehehehe, what do you mean by sending me my first love?"

Bo Han's vest suddenly became hot and he was sweating, but his tone was very innocent: "What do you mean? I bought this from Taobao shop."

Xiao Xi giggled: "If you were a girl, I would definitely think you had a crush on me. Brother Zheng, my first love has passed away. How much is it if I take one from you?"

Zheng Haifei said: "This thing is worthless, so I give it to you."

"Really, thank you so much Brother Zheng." Xiao Xi took a pot of first love and put it in his meat pile in the non-sale area, "Brother Zheng, do you still have a pot here? It's more beautiful, I grow succulents. "

Zheng Haifei walked to the front: "What do you plant? What kind of pot do you want?"

Xiao Xi said: "There are several mountain roses, what kind of pot should I use?"

Zheng Haifei stopped and glanced at Xiao Xi and Bai Han: "Where did you buy the roses?"

Xiao Xi said: "Bai Han gave it to me, and brought it to me all the way from Yunnan. Look, isn't it beautiful?"

Zheng Haifei looked at the roses with half-opened leaves, and said, "Any kind of pot will do. I only have plastic pots, so you can choose."

Xiao Xi ran to the warehouse to pick pots, and said while choosing: "Brother Zheng, you should save more beautiful flower pots. Every time I go to the flower market to buy succulents, I buy pots from the store by the way. You can also provide them to customers. This kind of service can make more money.”

Zheng Haifei smiled indifferently: "My place is narrow, so I don't stock up on flower pots."

"That's right, I don't have that much energy." Xiao Xi picked out a few plastic pots, "I'll raise them first, and then I'll go online to find some nicer pots. How do you match the soil, Brother Zheng?"

Zheng Haifei said: "Mainly use granules, and less peat soil."

Xiao Xi turned her head and looked at Bai Han who was standing silently at the side: "Bo Han, what are you doing, come and help me."

Zheng Haifei said: "Why don't you leave it alone, the temperature is high now, I'll plant it for you at night."

"Then thank you very much Brother Zheng." Xiao Xi gave Zheng Haifei the pot and the succulents, and took Bai Han to visit the succulent greenhouse, but he didn't notice that Bai Han never showed a happy look.
