Volume 3 Winter Solstice Chapter 17 Transplantation
The weather was good for several days in a row.
Jiang You squatted in the greenhouse, opened the lid of the seedling tray, and all the seeds sprouted.
With a candy in his mouth, he reached out and flicked the leaves, then took out his cell phone and checked the weather for the next few days. It would all be sunny.
He walked out of the greenhouse with a seedling tray, put the tray on the ground when he walked up the stairs, then walked into the house, picked up two bags of nutrient soil bought from Taobao and placed them on the steps, and then took out the bag of soil that Tang Butian gave him.
He poured the nutrient soil into the small flower bed in front of the house, then picked up the seedling tray, took out the seedlings one by one, and transplanted them into the flower bed. After one tray was finished, he walked to the pond, found the watering can, filled it with water, and returned to the front of the house, watering it thoroughly. He then grabbed a few handfuls of spiritual soil and sprinkled it on top.
After doing all this, Jiang You took two steps back and patted the dirt off his hands.
Knock knock.
There was a dull knock on the door.
A woman with shoulder-length hair and a burgundy coat stood by the courtyard gate, with three beautifully wrapped gift boxes at her feet.
Seeing Jiang You turn around, Tao Tao put down her black-gloved hands, bent down to pick up the gift box, and said with a smile: "Brother Jiang, the New Year is coming soon. I'm here to wish you a happy New Year."
"Happy New Year." Jiang You walked up to Tao Tao and said.
Tao Tao looked at the newly planted seedlings in the flower bed and said, "They've just sprouted, right?"
"Yes. Can you grow flowers?"
"I've seen it grow a little bit, and it will grow a little bit longer. When it grows to about five or six centimeters, it will be more appropriate to transplant it. The weather has been good recently, so it will definitely grow."
"I'm also worried that the weather has been good recently and it will snow again in a few days, which will make it unsuitable."
"Once the roots grow in, you won't have to be afraid anymore."
"Would you like to sit in the store for a while?"
Tao Tao followed Jiang You into the store. She placed the box on the long table. "The two jars of butter here are made by the resort's cook. They should be placed in the refrigerator. There are also some common dried fruits. They are good as snacks."
Jiang You helped her pull the stool away.
Tao Tao took off her gloves and coat, folded them slightly and placed them on the long table. She was wearing a black V-neck knitted long dress and a pearl pendant around her neck.
Jiang You walked around and sat down opposite her, "How did you get here?"
"I drove here by myself and parked in the parking lot at the back."
"I asked you to accompany me for several days last time. I was already embarrassed, and now you come all the way here again."
"I don't usually have anything to do. I'm always at the resort. The scenery is nice," she looked at Jiang You, "but sometimes it can feel a bit monotonous."
She pushed a box in front of Jian Jiangyou, "This is for your son."
Jiang You took the box out of the packaging bag. "A set of colored pencils and a picture book. Wow, there are so many. There must be more than a hundred of them, right?"
"136."
"Thank you," Jiang You closed the lid, "He was taking a nap, and I coaxed him to sleep for a long time..."
"I'll be leaving in a while. I have to go back to the resort in the evening," Tao Tao looked at Jiang You, "Do you want to come with me?"
Jiang You didn't say anything.
"Before the festival, there are many activities in the resort. Why don't you take Jiang Mo to have a look and have some fun together?"
"In winter, I just want to stay warm at home."
Tao Tao smiled and said, "Then I won't bother you anymore."
She stood up, the pearls on her chest swayed, she put on her coat, and tossed her hair, "If you think of me, send me a WeChat message and I'll pick you up."
"Of course, of course."
Jiang You saw Tao Tao out the door, then watched her walk out of the yard. Turning back, he saw Jiang Mo sitting on the handrail of the stairs, swinging his legs.
"We have New Year's goods," Jiang You walked to the long table, picked up the box, and held it up to Jiang Mo, "This is yours. Come, draw a picture for me and I'll find some paper for you."
He looked at his hands, which were still covered in mud, so he went to the kitchen to wash them, then walked to the counter and found a piece of sketch paper.
After spreading the paper on the long table and opening the gift box of colored pencils, he carried Jiang Mo to the chair.
"Draw it."
Jiang Mo reached out and took a red pencil and drew a circle on the paper.
Jiang You touched his head.
He put the two cans of butter into the refrigerator, found a bag of pecans from the dried fruit gift box, sat next to Jiang Mo, peeled and ate them while muttering.
"I think my seedlings can survive, but I don't know what they will look like when they grow up. What if some are tall and some are short? I don't know if they will bloom or what color the flowers will be."
He stuffed a piece of pecan pulp into Jiang Min's mouth, and then ate a piece himself. "The flowers are beautiful, they shouldn't be ugly, but there's not enough soil."
He found his cell phone.
Jiang You: Leader, the soil is running out.
Tang Butian stood in the sutra chanting hall of Jinguang Temple.
Master Hongzhen stood up from in front of the Buddha. He put his hands together and bowed to Tang Butian, "Miss Tang."
Tang Butian returned the gift and said, "Master Hongzhen, I'm hiring someone."
"I am a monk."
"Joining the Special Operations Department will bring many benefits to both you and Jinguang Temple."
Master Hongzhen's eyes fixed for a moment, and then he said: "I am living very well in Jinguang Temple. When the Special Operations Department needs assistance, I have never refused, and I will never refuse in the future."
Master Hongzhen looked at Tang Butian's expression and said, "Donor Jiang came to Jinguang Temple for help several times, and I helped him personally."
"I understand." Tang Butian turned around and walked out of the sutra chanting hall.
After walking out of Jinguang Temple, she took out her mobile phone and saw the WeChat message Jiang You sent her.
She replied: Oh.
I put my phone in my bag , turned around, glanced at Jinguang Temple, and walked towards the exit of Wenfeng Park.
After Jiang You came back with a cup of black tea, he saw Tang Butian's reply. He took a sip of tea and saw Jiang Mo drawing a large colorful circle on the sketch paper. "Tell me what you drew?"
Jiang Mo raised his head and glanced at Jiang You.
"Hey, even if I'm fat, I'm not as fat as this colorful circle. You're trying to discredit me, don't you know?"
Tang Butian stepped into the yard and went straight into the store.
Jiang You saw her, "Leader, why are you here so quickly? Did you bring soil?"
"I came from the Golden Light Temple."
"This pecan is good, try it."
Tang Butian sat down opposite Jiang You. She took a look at the painting drawn by Jiang Mo, then picked up a pecan and started peeling it.
"Master Hongzhen rejected you?"
"Rejected."
"Is Guan Qingtong's son not good?"
"Too stupid, easy to die."
"Have you seen the seedlings in the flower bed next to the house? I just planted them, and I plan to transplant the other beds in a few days."
"oh."
"Someone from Xueshan Lake Resort came over to pay New Year's greetings and give me New Year's gifts. These were sent by her. She also invited me to stay over there," Jiang You said lazily after taking a sip of tea. "I haven't had butter in years. How about we put some butter in some plain noodles and try it out?"
"good."
