My oil painting is perfect

Chapter 10 The Truth

After going back that day, Haika was in a bad mood and didn't even eat dinner, so he retreated into the oil painting, thinking about all this quietly.

"Sure enough, I shouldn't let others know that I'm an oil painting. He will hate me."

He couldn't sleep all night, holding the guitar in his arms and started to play again, playing the song "Don't Lie to Him" ​​repeatedly, the emotions in his mind were very messy, for the first time, he had a thought that he hoped that someone would never hate him .

Fortunately, he didn't say anything that day. Haika strummed the strings frantically, expressing thousands of thoughts in the sound of the piano, hoping that he would never know, there was a kind of expectation, but also a little bit of loss.

"Heika! Heika!" Mrs. O'Neill came down from the stairs, her voice was full of sleepiness, "What are you doing in the middle of the night? What's bothering you?"

Hearing this, Haika quickly packed up the guitar, got into the bed and replied, "It's okay, I'm going to sleep."

The next day.

After the seeds germinated, they grew at an astonishing speed. On this day, the soil in the garden was dried and cracked again. Yoran found the water pipe and started a new round of watering.

"Heika! Good morning!" He held the water pipe head, and his arms swayed, making waves.

"Good morning, Yoran!" Heika stood in front of the window, taking a bite of chocolate cake with a spoon, "Do you want to eat?"

"Hmm!" He jumped across the nursery area, went straight to the window, and opened his mouth.

Seeing his satisfied expression, Haika reached out to check the temperature, put on a big straw hat, and came to the yard.

With his first watering experience, he has become much more proficient. With the water pipe in his hands, he no longer twists and turns randomly, spraying out small drops of water and spraying them all over the garden.

Heika stood in the corner, letting the fine water drops fall on his palms, squinting his eyes and recalling what he said yesterday.

"I came to weed Mrs. O'Neill that day, and when I was excited, I drew a picture under the tree. Unexpectedly, after a while, I received a telegram about my father.

He told me to go to Haicao City to watch his concert earlier, but I ignored him. On that day, I was late for a painting, and I couldn't see him for the last time. "

Heika's hands were getting a little wet. He tilted his head and sat on the steps, quietly waiting for him to finish pouring the water.

"Yoran!" Uncle Payne came over from the fence carrying something, and shouted towards this side.

"Is Philly here?" He put down the hose and went over to help him with blocks of wood, and some glass.

Before Uncle Payne could answer, Feili came with a smile on his face, holding some chainsaws and woodworking equipment, "Here I am!"

Today they are going to build a sun room. Phil is in the duty room, so he knows some carpentry, and Uncle Payne happens to have experience, so he can help Yolan.

Building a sun room is a hard and interesting thing. They made three design drawings in the morning, but Mrs. O'Neill said she didn't like the Byzantine sun room, and Heika rejected the Victoria sun room, so the final decision was Gothic sun room.

Several people worked together, Philly was in charge of sawing anti-corrosion wood, then Uncle Payne and Yolan were in charge of building the roof of the sun house, and Heika and Mrs. O'Neill were in charge of moving materials and doing chores in the garden.

Some of the plants sown this time need to be dried in winter, but they are not cold-resistant. He plans to plant some succulents in the future. This time, he also made several display racks together, hoping to have a unique sunshine in three months. house.

There are still half a month left before the Garden Viewing Contest. If you want to stand out among all the gardens in the town, you will undoubtedly need some unique advantages. Uncle Payne and Yolan visited almost all the gardens in Cactus Town and found that there are generally sunshine However, they didn't make much use of them. Most of them were used as a resting place, and some plants were planted randomly, and some even just placed a few potted plants. They thought this would be a breakthrough.

And Yoran was surprised to find that nothing but those seeds.The growth rate of some flowers and plants outside the yard has also become much faster than usual. The reason is that he has dug a lot of soil with a shovel in the past two days, which made him curious. After several consecutive experiments, he finally believed that, This shovel has magical powers, which can accelerate the growth of plants, and the speed... is about three times that of ordinary plants.

A total of three days of busy work have passed, and when the day was approaching the evening, the sun room finally took shape.

The next two days will be to perfect the details, how to arrange the sun room, and install some infrastructure such as drainage equipment and lighting equipment.They get up early in the morning to work and don't go back until dark.

"Finally it's done!" Yolan, Uncle Payne, and Philly let out a long sigh of relief as they lay on the open space in the garden.

As for Haika, in addition to helping every day, he also needs to receive Dorothy's study guidance, which is also very hard.

Although he has been very happy with Yolan these past few days, the better the relationship with him, the more worried he is about being exposed as an oil painting.

Yet that day has come.

After moving the seeds from the nursery to the garden soil, Yoran's workload increased.

Today, it's time to cut roses.

Joran came to Dorothy's house early in the morning and picked rose branches in their backyard under the guidance of Uncle Payne.

"Which branch do you think you should choose?" Uncle Payne took the scissors and scanned the numerous branches.

Yolan held his chin in one hand and touched the newly drawn branches, "Choose the tender ones."

"That's right." Uncle Payne raised the scissors, but bypassed those branches, and cut off the growing one next to it.

Twigs, "You're only half right, you want to choose young shoots, but you have to choose young shoots that grow from old piles."

It turned out to be like this, after he figured it out, he cut a small basket of tender branches.

Then, further pruning of these branches is necessary.

“每一根按照10-15厘米的长度剪,下端剪成1-2厘米斜口,上端距离芽2厘米左右剪成平口。”

Since it is cutting in July, one-third of the leaves should be cut off.

It took the two of them an hour to make preparations before cutting, and now they will officially start cutting.

Carrying a small basket of twigs, Yolan searched for the river sand all the way, and when he walked back, he found almost everything.

Then they found a few seedling pots, filled them with river sand, watered them thoroughly, and started to cut them to a depth of about 5-7 cm.

"You're done for this?" Uncle Payne looked at the relieved Yolan and asked meaningfully.

"That's right, the cuttings have been finished!" He looked at the old man suspiciously, not knowing what he wanted to express.

"Shouldn't it be finished?" Uncle Payne took off his hat, sweat streaming down his chubby face.

Yoran looked at the flower pot, then at the scorching sun, picked up the kettle to wet the leaves, and then moved the flower pot to a shaded place. After doing these, it was considered done.

Uncle Payne was watching from the side. Yolan had been learning gardening with him for half a month. Although he had a weak background, he had a high level of comprehension and was willing to endure hardships. Many things can be understood once or twice, and his progress is very fast.

"I'm so tired!" Yolan hid under the shade of a tree, with a faint breeze blowing on his handsome face, like a prince in the grass.

At this time, Haika was carrying a guitar, riding a bicycle and parked at the gate of the yard, followed by several people.

"Yoran!" Yuri walked behind him with a fishing rod in his hand, beckoning to the person under the shade.

"Long time no see, where have you been fishing recently?"

Yolan didn't get up, but lay down on the grass, beckoning them to come and play together.

During this period of time, he was busy taking care of the garden, leaving early and returning late every day, and he didn't see Yuri and the others for a long time.

Yuri is a very caring and loyal person. If Yoran doesn't come to him, Yuri will take the initiative to come here to play with him.

Several people played in the yard for a while, and after admiring the young shoots Yolan cultivated so hard, they proposed to play behind the hillside.

"Heika, you go with us!"

Yoran and Yuri walked out of the yard with their shoulders crossed, then came back, knocked on the window, and said to the person who was busy arranging the music score.

"Ah."

Heika raised his head in an instant. In fact, he had been absent-minded for a long time. He hid behind the window and quietly listened to their chat for a long time, just waiting for his words.

Turning over the hillside not far from the villa, there is a vast plain where a group of fat sheep are grazing leisurely.

"Wow!" Yuri and his team cheered. It is now five o'clock in the afternoon, the heat is gradually fading, and the air is mixed with the smell of green grass. Walking on it feels comfortable.

"Isn't that Lan Lan?" Haika laughed, pointing at a goat that was desperately pulling grass.

The others also laughed, Lan Lan is so cute.

"I'm going to go swimming, are you going?"

They continued to move forward and found a very clear lake. Yolan took off his clothes first and looked back at several people.

"thump--"

Without waiting for an answer, he stretched out his arms, jumped forward, and jumped into the lake, causing a wave of spray.

"It's so cool!"

Others also jumped into the lake one after another, chasing each other, laughing and playing.

Only Haika stood on the shore, watching the rolling waves, with his hands behind his back, trembling unceasingly.

"Heika!"

"Heika!"

Others swam farther and farther, calling Haika's name, but he just couldn't come down.

Seeing this, Jolan swam back from the middle and asked him near the shore, "Don't you want to swim?"

Haika stammered: "I want to, but I..."

Before the words fell, he was dragged into the water by him, "If you want to swim, then come down!"

Haika struggled in horror, the lake water drenched him from head to toe, his body gradually became thinner and smaller, and finally turned into an oil painting floating on the water.
