Chapter 203 It’s Chinese New Year! (4)
After dinner, Ji Xiangnuan, Lin Youlu, and Ji Xiangbei walked to the highest point on the roof with ice Cokes.
The first time he went up, Ji Xiangnuan saw Atractylodes macrocephala. This was a little secret shared by the four of them every year. Although it was winter, it went best with iced Coke.
"Why are you here just now! I've been waiting for a long time!"
Baizhu's tone was full of complaints. In fact, he only came less than three minutes early.
"Why are you urging me! Don't think I don't know that you have just arrived! Every time you yell, it's like you came hours earlier!"
Ji Xiangnuan threw a can of iced Coke directly to him Bai Shu, Bai Shu caught it very flexibly.
"Why don't you come a few minutes earlier to wait? How often at this time of the year am I not waiting for you!"
Baizhu easily pulled away the Coke and drank it in big gulps.
“Go up!”
Ji Xiangnuan's eyes looked at the highest point on the top floor - the water tank.
Although this is the highest point on the 30th floor, they will always climb to the top along the stairs of the water tank, because the scenery there is the most beautiful.
Everywhere you look, there is a feast of lights and feasting, and the traffic arteries are scattered everywhere. Because it is New Year's Eve, every household is celebrating the New Year at home, and there are very few vehicles on the road.
"Look! The wintersweet in the Plum Garden has finally bloomed!"
Ji Xiangnuan excitedly pointed to a yellow garden not far away.
That is the plum garden, which is full of precious and rare plum blossoms. Among them, the most winter plum blossoms are planted. In winter, it’s really beautiful if you take aerial photography.
That was Ji Xiangnuan’s favorite place to play when she was a child. Grandpa Wu from Plum Garden and she have known each other for ten years, and they are still friends every year.
But Grandpa Wu passed away last year, and the kind and kind grandfather who spoke with a bit of dialect can no longer protect the plum garden. After Grandpa Wu left, the Plum Garden was contracted by a company. Although the company greatly expanded the Plum Garden to attract tourists, the wintersweet flowers did not grow as well as before.
Ji Xiangnuan very clearly remembers that Grandpa Wu once said that there are things that future machines cannot compare with. At that time, Ji Xiangnuan was still very scornful and felt that Wu Grandpa is very rotten.
But now she seems to understand that some things require her to sincerely invest a lot of energy and love in order to get the same price in return.
It cannot be said that humans are like this, but plants must be like this.
“Why didn’t you go to the Plum Garden as soon as you came back today?”
Baizhu couldn’t help but be curious.
“I don’t want to go, and I probably won’t go back in the future. It’s nice to just watch it from a distance.”
When the plum garden was mentioned, the light in Ji Xiangnuan's eyes dimmed instantly. She missed Grandpa Wu very much.
The parents of the second elder of the Ji family passed away early, so she and Ji Xiangbei actually didn't have much experience of being separated from each other.
Grandpa Wu happens to be a single man without a wife or children. He regards Ji Xiangnuan and Ji Xiangbei as his granddaughters and grandsons. Ji Xiangnuan's feelings about his grandfather are all derived from Grandpa Wu.
"I heard that a new shopping mall has been opened in Ningcheng recently. Do you want us to go there together tomorrow?"
Baizhu instantly understood why Ji Xiangnuan was unwilling to go to Plum Garden. After saying that, I felt embarrassed, so I thought about changing the topic.
[Baizhu, you are really bad at chatting! 】
Lin Youlu patted Bai Shu on the shoulder and gestured very seriously.
Baizhu shrugged. In fact, he realized it himself, but it was too late. The situation was very embarrassing and even made him a little overwhelmed.
