MTL - Accidentally born in the ’60s-Chapter 91
Zhen Zhen used her consciousness to see Xi Junjie standing at the door and touched her face unconfidently, and quickly added: "Oh, Dad, the face is only a part, mainly I still like people ." As if afraid of Li Muwu's disbelief, Zhen Zhen nodded earnestly: "I really like it."
Li Muwu looked at his daughter dejectedly, then turned to look at Wang Sufen angrily: "Talk to your daughter well, the girl's family should be reserved, why are you so thick-skinned, so big Lielie said that he likes people, what a joke."
Wang Sufen glared at him speechlessly: "What are you looking at me for? Your girl has been more courageous than boys since she was a child, it's not that you don't know, besides my daughter who dares to joke, yes Isn't it Zhen Zhen? If he laughs, we won't be with him."
Mr. Li sat cross-legged in a chair and nibbled apples. It was difficult for her to have good teeth at such an old age. She likes to nibble on apples and melon seeds when she has nothing to do. It's delicious to eat. Mrs. Li crunched and took a bite of the apple, looking at her granddaughter, she felt extremely proud: "Actually, our family Zhen Zhen is just following me. Back then, when I was as big as Zhen Zhen, I was very daring. I was attracted to me, and I invited a matchmaker to come to our house to propose marriage, but I didn't like anyone, so I fell in love with your father. I went directly to the door and told your father, if you like me, I will go to my house to propose marriage, your father here it comes."
Li Muwu looked at Mrs. Li with a black face: "Mother, you still have this history, why haven't I heard you say it before?"
Mr. Li gave him a white look: "In those years, I didn't even have enough to eat, so I don't have the heart to talk about these old calendars. I think Zhen Zhen is very good, living is a lifetime thing, how are you? You know what kind of heart you say you're up to."
"Mother, you don't know him yet?" Wang Sufen squinted at Li Muwu with a smile, and deliberately pursed her mouth: "Zhen Zhen can pick out one, two or three things even if he finds an immortal who descends to earth, right? Come."
Li Muwu pursed his lips and snorted coldly: "My daughter is no worse than a fairy."
Seeing that the more they talked, the more deviated the topic was, Zhen Zhen hurriedly coughed twice: "How about we discuss something meaningful, such as what to eat next lunch? The kitchen is ready."
"You don't have to be busy." Wang Sufen hurriedly dragged her over to Mrs. Li's side and said, "You finally have a few days off to accompany you to chat with your milk. I'll do it at noon, if you want Tell Mom what to eat."
Zhen Zhen didn't particularly want to eat, and she didn't want Wang Sufen to be too busy. Looking at the cloudy sky outside, Zhen Zhen said, "Let's make some nugget soup, it will be warm to eat."
Xi Junjie was relieved when he heard that he was no longer discussing himself. He stepped back a few words before shouting in a bright voice, "Are Grandma Li and Auntie Li at home?"
Listening to the familiar voice, Li Muwu came over aggressively and opened the door: "Your Uncle Li is at home."
"Hello, Uncle Li." Xi Junjie immediately called out with a smile: "Didn't you go out to play today? When I came out, I saw that they all went to Uncle Wang's house to play chess."
Li Muwu made room for him to come in: "Your dad won't go, I'm not interested in going by myself." Li Muwu still learned chess from Xi Changbo. The two newbies were willing to play against him, like the masters in the alley, and Li Muwu only had the opportunity to watch.
"Your dad really went back to work?" Li Muwu thought that he hadn't seen Xi Changbo for half a month, and he didn't usually quarrel with him. Li Muwu suddenly felt that there was no meaning at all.
"It's been two weeks." Xi Junjie smiled and didn't say much about it.
Xi Changbo was originally due to the political movement, and he was forcibly retired from the disease before he reached his age. In those turbulent times, it was lucky to retire peacefully and not be involved too much, so Xi Chang Bo is very open to the matter of retiring from illness, and he is usually quite relaxed when fishing and playing chess.
But now the movement has subsided, and the country has announced that it will reform and open up, and all aspects must be vigorously developed. At this time, it can be seen that there is a shortage of talents. People like Xi Changbo, who were still in their prime, were called back first and still served in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In Houyang, there are a lot of people like Xi Changbo. The number of people who usually play with Li Muwu suddenly decreased by half. The whole old Li Muwu was lost. He stretched his neck every day and looked out to see if there was any grain depot that wanted to call him over. work.
Although Li Muwu knew that Xi Changbo was back to work, he couldn't help but ask Xi Junjie again. Hearing the expected answer, Li Muwu was still a little disappointed, and rolled his eyes at Xi Junjie , murmured, "The two of you are just as annoying." Then he went out with his hands behind his back.
Zhen Zhen looked at Li Muwu's appearance and thought that she would have to cook some medicinal food for him at night. This symptom is obviously menopause.
Wang Sufen ignored Li Muwu and asked Xi Junjie to sit down with a smile: "Why did you come by yourself? Why didn't your mother come to play?"
"My mother flipped her tweeds in the greenhouse." Xi Junjie smiled and put the saury aside: "My father's new saury, the meat is wide and thick, my mother asked me to give it to me Come over and give grandma and aunt a box to try."
"You kid, we live in the neighborhood, you and Zhen Zhen are friends, why are you being so polite?" Wang Sufen made a jar of tea for Xi Junjie, and brought him some more Put something like pine nuts and apples on the table next to you.
Xi Junjie hurriedly got up and thanked him, and waited for Wang Sufen to sit down before sitting down: "It is precisely because I and Zhen Zhen are with whom we should come more often, we need to make more grandma, uncle, and auntie. Investigation and investigation, am I not?"
Wang Sufen immediately smiled and said to Mrs. Li, "Mother, look at how sweet Junjie's mouth is."
Mr. Li looked at Xi Junjie and liked it from the bottom of her heart. In the past few months, Xi Junjie has been running to Lao Li's house a lot, either talking to the old man or helping to weed and clean the pond in the garden or It is to make a table of dishes to please the future daughter-in-law. Seeing Xi Changbo sourly rolled his eyes, saying that Xi Junjie was more diligent at Old Li's house than at his own.
Zhen Zhen is the precious granddaughter of Mrs. Li's heart. Unlike Li Muwu, who gets sour when he sees anyone close to his daughter, Mrs. Li's idea is that as long as my granddaughter likes it, anyone will do. , If my granddaughter doesn't like a fairy, it's not uncommon. Therefore, with the help of Zhen Zhen, Xi Junjie quickly won the favor of Mrs. Li and Wang Sufen.
Accompanying Mrs. Li for the conversation, Xi Junjie got up and prepared to leave, but others said he was leaving, but his feet didn't move, and he looked at Zhen Zhen reluctantly. As soon as he looked like that, Mrs. Li knew that the young couple wanted to date again.
Mr. Li took a sip of water and looked at Zhen Zhen winking at her, so she could only say: "Well, Zhen Zhen, go to Junjie's house to take a look, are the flowers in your aunt Ling's house wilted? If you don't have time to come over, you can help her take a look."
"Hey." Zhen Zhen jumped off the chair immediately, happily took Xi Junjie's hand and left, Mrs. Li stretched her neck and saw the two of them holding hands and laughing at each other and running out She couldn't help but sighed: "You are so good to be young, look at how happy our family Zhen Zhen is."
Wang Sufen couldn't help reminding Mrs. Li, "Mother, they are holding hands."
Old Mrs. Li paused for a while, then pursed her lips: "I saw it, it was Zhen Zhen's hand to touch, we won't suffer."
Wang Sufen: “…”

After all, they came out in the name of showing Ling Xiulan flowers, so the two of them came to Ling's greenhouse first. This was originally the flower room of the palace. After the Xi family moved in, Ling Xiulan cleaned up the place again and still raised flowers here. Ling Xiulan is a person who loves flowers. There are hundreds of pots in the flower room, and there are all kinds of flowers. Among them, there are some squeamish and famous ones.
Xi Junjie opened the door of the conservatory, Zhen Zhen walked in and called, "Aunt Ling."
Ling Xiulan smiled when she saw her, took off her gloves to tuck the sweaty hair on her forehead behind her ears, and waved to Zhen Zhen: "What are you playing at home? see you."
Zhen Zhen smiled and said, "I went to the bookstore to buy a few books two days ago, and I am reading at home." She walked to Ling Xiulan and saw a pot of wilted peony buds on the ground, a little surprised Asked: "Isn't it okay for the first two days?"
There is still half a month before the birthday of Xi Junjie's grandmother. The old lady has no other hobbies, but likes peonies. Ling Xiulan tried to grow peonies in the conservatory a month ago. After returning home every week, Zhen Zhen came to see the flower room of Xi's house and helped to adjust the temperature in the conservatory according to the adaptation state of the peonies. Now that the flower buds have reached the flat bud stage, it stands to reason that as long as the temperature in the conservatory does not suddenly drop suddenly, it will basically have no effect on the flower formation rate.
Ling Xiulan's face also had a bit of gloom on her face: "I'm also surprised, I see that the old lady's birthday is coming, I thought it would bloom on the birthday, but now I don’t know if I can support it.” She looked at Zhen Zhen looking down at the peony, her eyes lit up, she quickly stood up and moved Zhen Zhen: “By the way, Zhen Zhen, you are the best at raising flowers. , show your aunt what's wrong. You said that I was about to set the alarm clock to water and fertilize, so why did I wilt?"
Zhen Zhen squatted down and stretched out her hand to touch the petals, using her consciousness to wrap the eight pots of peony flowers in buds in the flower room tightly: "cold...cold...so cold...so uncomfortable..."
The consciousness of the peony flower spread to Zhen Zhen's mind, Zhen Zhen looked back in surprise and looked at the thermometer placed next to the peony flower, this was bought by Ling Xiulan specially from the research institute, it was very accurate .
"Twenty-one-one-five degrees, this temperature is okay, why does it feel cold?" Zhen Zhen tilted her head strangely, she couldn't understand.
"Is it cold?" Because it was too hot in the flower room, Ling Xiulan was only wearing a shirt, she immediately found the paper pressed on the flower stand next to her, and there were densely written precautions. Quickly sweeping from top to bottom, Ling Xiulan quickly found the line she wanted to see: "The temperature in the flat bud period is kept between 20 and 22 degrees during the day, and 16 to 18 degrees at night..." She Glancing at Zhen Zhen, she quickly said, "That's right, it's been at this temperature these days. At night, I adjust the heating before going to bed, and the temperature won't fluctuate more than one degree."
Zhen Zhen's eyes fell on a pot of peony flowers that was closest to her, and directly merged her consciousness with the peony. After about a minute, Zhen Zhen let go and stood up Get up: "Last night, this flower was frozen for about three hours."
Ling Xiulan didn't know how Zhen Zhen could tell the date and time that the flowers had been frozen, but it was indeed from this morning that the flowers began to wilt, and she carefully recalled yesterday's Matter: "I came to see the flower room at noon yesterday. At that time, the eight pots of peonies were fine. Later in the afternoon, Junjie, her cousin and her mother came, so I didn't come again, but I didn't bring them to the flower room." Thinking of myself The younger sister-in-law, Ling Xiulan's expression on her face was obviously not particularly good, but in front of her future daughter-in-law, she didn't say too many bad things about the family.
Zhen Zhen, who had watched a lot of house fighting in her last life, suddenly made up a lot of plots, she looked at Ling Xiulan with bright eyes: "Do they usually have a relationship with you?"
Ling Xiulan shook her head: "Junjie and her aunt had a bad relationship with me when I was a child. When I married Changbo, she cried and made trouble and even dragged a girl who had a crush on Changbo. The family messed up." Thinking of what happened back then, Ling Xiulan was still a little angry: "Afterwards, we went to France, and we didn't communicate for many years. When we came back, the situation in China was not good. Junjie's uncle was severely suppressed. Their whole family was sent to the northwest for renovation, and it was not until last year that they were arranged to come back." Thinking about the way of getting along with her sister-in-law, Ling Xiulan concluded: "It's just a matter of face, anyway, I only see each other when I go back to the old house for a month. On the one hand, be kind in front of the old man."
"Then why did they come all of a sudden? Did you know that you were going to send peonies on the old man's birthday?" Zhen Zhen couldn't help but ask.
"Last time I saw Huaguduo standing up, and I said something to the old man during dinner at the old house, I wanted her to be happy." Ling Xiulan couldn't help but recall her sister-in-law's sudden visit. Gui murmured: "Yesterday, their mothers said that they were walking and passing by to take a rest, and after sitting for a while, Junjie and her cousin insisted on staying at my house, saying that it was close to going to Jingshan from my house in the morning to watch the sunrise. Because I live in the main courtyard. , The yard of the second entrance is Junjie's residence, so I arranged for her in the embroidered building at the back. Usually, I sometimes go to the garden to rest there, there are beddings, and my aunt cleans every day, so I can live directly."
Zhen Zhen fed back to the peony flowers according to Ling Xiulan's information. These peony flowers seemed to be touched, but they all cried together: "The wind is strong, it is blowing, it is cold..."
Zhen Zhen retracted her hand and sighed: "It is very likely that she moved the flower out, this peony not only caught cold but also suffered from the night wind, so the bones of the flower turned black. "
"What can I do about this?" Ling Xiulan was a little anxious. After all, the old lady was on her 80th birthday, and there must be a lot of guests coming. She said in front of the old lady that she would send the 80th birthday. Potted peony, if the flowers can't bloom, the old lady will designate the spoiler. She looked at Zhen Zhen's thoughtful look and immediately held her hand: "Zhen Zhen, help Auntie think about it, is there any way to save this flower?"
"Yes." Zhen Zhen nodded, Ling Xiulan breathed a sigh of relief, her face was both happy and excited, looking like she was about to collapse, Zhen Zhen helped her to the side and sat down , and handed her the towel hanging next to her to wipe her sweat: "But the method is more complicated. For the sake of safety, this flower is still moved to my room, and I will take care of it myself. Don't worry, you can guarantee that on the day the old lady's birthday is over, you will have Eight pots of peonies of true national color."
Actually, according to Zhen Zhen's ability, these eight pots of peonies, let alone the night wind, were frozen to death in the snow, only a few roots were left, Zhen Zhen could make them separate In minutes, a magnificent peony bloomed. But Zhen Zhen's ability can't be leaked out, even if she uses the ability to gradually recover Peony, she has to move her home to implement it, it's always right to be cautious.
Some of the flowers that Ling Xiulan raised before were short of water, some were short of fertilizer, and some were over-watered. Zhen Zhen could point out the problem just by looking at it. Under Zhen Zhen's guidance, Ling Xiulan's flowers are getting better and better, so she also trusts Zhen Zhen very much, she seems to think that as long as Zhen Zhen can support her, there is absolutely no problem.
Ling Xiulan took out the windscreen she had customized before, and put a cover on each pot of peonies. The three of them tossed two or three times and finally moved all the peonies to Zhen Zhen's house.
I was tired for a long time, Zhen Zhen made tea, Lin Xiulan washed her face and hands in Zhen Zhen's room, Mrs. Li and Wang Sufen came over when they heard the movement, looking at the room full of wilted hair For the black flower bone, Mrs. Li immediately comforted her: "Don't worry, Zhen Zhen has a special research on flowers and plants, and she designated that she can cure you."
Ling Xiulan's smile became even bigger when she heard this: "You don't know, auntie, when I woke up in the morning and saw the black and wilted appearance of the flower bones, I would never let it go, if it weren't for us My family Zhen Zhen knows how to grow flowers, and I don’t even know where to get eight pots of peonies for my mother-in-law to celebrate her birthday.”
"Is this a birthday gift? No wonder I see you sweating all over your head." Madam Li looked at Ling Xiulan's white lips, and hurriedly asked her to drink more hot water.
With hot tea in her hand, Ling Xiulan's mood also stabilized, and she looked at Zhen Zhen's room. Although Zhen Zhen and Mrs. Li both lived in the main courtyard, every time Ling Xiulan came, she was in the main room or the main hall. This was the first time she came to Zhen Zhen's room.
Because of the recent autumn, the sun is not as strong as before, in order to make the house look brighter, Zhen Zhen removed the screens that originally separated the house, and the three large houses are all connected, see It looks very transparent.
It's loose, I guess I've watched it many times. Next to the bookshelf is a desk and a chair by the window, with a stack of books on it, and the top book has a bookmark, which is probably the book that Zhen Zhen was reading recently. Next to the desk is a guqin table with a guqin on it. It seems to be some years old. Only the tassels on the top are newly made.
There is a sapphire case on the side against the wall, opposite the desk, on which is a pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Ling Xiulan looked at the blank sheet of paper on the desk, turned her head and asked Zhen Zhen with a smile, "Do you like calligraphy or painting?"
Zhen Zhen smiled modestly: "It will be a little bit."
Old Mrs. Li likes to show off her granddaughter the most, how can she show Zhen Zhen's ability a little bit, she immediately stood up and pointed to the painting on the back wall and said, "The middle painting and the words It's her husband's work, and the picture on the wall over there was painted by Zhen Zhen."
Ling Xiulan turned around and looked at it, and she was shocked to find that there was a masterpiece of Chinese painting master Su Weiran hanging on the wall. Su Weiran was already famous before liberation. Su Weiran's work. During the movement, Su Weiran disappeared for ten years, and when he reappeared, his works actually went to a new level. In addition to being natural, they were more free and easy than before.
Su Weiran still paints, but only a few are given to relatives and friends. In addition, other people can't ask for a painting even if they hold a lot of money. A few days ago, it was said that there was a person with a high position who wanted to use power to put pressure on him, but he was ruthlessly kicked out by Su Weiran. Said that the man was also admonished to talk from above. After these ten years of fluctuations, the country treats these people as national treasures. Those who don't have long eyes can only say that they can't see the situation clearly.
's works, can't help looking at her in surprise: "Su Weiran is your husband?"
"Hey, do you know Lao Su too?" Before Zhen Zhen could speak, Mrs. Li interrupted: "This is a mess, if you know you know each other, wait for him to come home to play next time. I'll call you over when I'm here."
Ling Xiulan said with a smile: "Madam, you are really joking, I don't have the face to let Mr. Su know me." Her eyes fell on what Mrs. Li said that Zhen Zhen did it herself In the landscape painting, I saw that she used simple lines to outline a majestic landscape painting.
Ling Xiulan also learned to paint when she was in France, and she also knows a little about Chinese painting. Just by looking at the momentum, the layout, and the use of colors, you can tell that Zhen Zhen has a deep knowledge in Chinese painting.
Old Mrs. Li was not satisfied with the painting on the wall: "I just think this painting is too plain, it is not as good as painting flowers and grass, you don't know that Zhen Zhen painted her fourth brother The Kangqin is old and beautiful. I learned it from the teacher who taught painting in our forest area. Later, after we came to the imperial capital, Lao Su liked to paint this kind of landscape and water, and Zhen Zhen didn’t draw flowers and grass very much. ."
Ling Xiulan looked at the painting and liked it more and more, pulled Zhen Zhen and smiled: "It's really a famous teacher and a master, you can paint such a good painting at such a young age, I look at my family's handsome ones. Not good enough for you."
It’s okay to be hit by the future husband, even his own mother stabbed the knife, Xi Junjie’s face turned black, he pushed Ling Xiulan’s hand away, squeezed between the two, trying to show himself to Zhen Zhen He is very versatile: "Actually, I can do oil painting, I can also violin and piano." After a pause, Xi Junjie looked at Zhen Zhen seriously, his eyes were very sincere: "Also, I really think that there is a better looking boy than me. It might be really hard to find."
