Lao She's "Planting Flowers"
I love flowers, so I also love planting flowers. I didn't become an expert in flower cultivation because I didn't have time to study and experiment. I only regard growing flowers as a pleasure in my life. I don't care about the size of the flowers. As long as they bloom, I am happy. In my small yard, summer is full of flowers and plants, so kittens have to go upstairs to play, and there is no playground for them on the ground.
Although there are many flowers, there are no exotic flowers and grasses. Precious flowers and plants are not easy to feed, and it is sad to see a good peanut die of illness. The climate in Beijing is not suitable for growing flowers. It is cold in winter and windy in spring. Summer is either dry or it rains cats and dogs. Autumn is the best, but there will be sudden frost. In this climate, I have no ability to feed the beautiful flowers in the south. So I only raise some flowers and plants that are easy to live and can struggle on their own.
However, although flowers and plants will struggle on their own, if I leave them alone and let them die, most of them will still die. I take care of them every day and care for them like a good friend. One to two, I touched some doorways: some like shade, not in the sun; Some people like to do it, so don't water it too much. Touching the doorway, the flowers and plants are all fed, and they are alive and open for three to five years. How interesting! Not nonsense, but knowledge! It is never a bad thing to gain more knowledge.
I don't have leg disease. Not only can I walk badly, but I can't sit for a long time. I didn't know I took care of the flowers and plants, but I didn't thank them. I can thank them. When I work, I always write for a while, go to the yard to have a look, water the tree, move the pot, then go back to the house to write for a while and then go out. This cycle makes mental and physical labor properly regulated, which is beneficial to body and mind, better than taking medicine. If you catch a storm or the weather changes suddenly, you have to mobilize the whole family to save flowers and plants, which is very nervous. Hundreds of potted flowers should be rushed to the house, which makes people ache all over and sweat. The next day, the weather was fine, the flowers were going to move out, and the backache and leg pain came again, and I broke out in a sweat. However, how interesting it is! Isn't it true that you can't keep a flower alive without working?
The milkman praised "good smell" when he entered the door, which made our whole family very proud. When epiphyllum blooms, a few friends come to see it, which is even more delicious-epiphyllum always blooms at night. Flowers are divided into roots, one tree is divided into several trees, and some are sent to friends. I am naturally happy to see my friends take away the fruits of their labor.
Of course, there are times of sadness, such as this summer. Three hundred chrysanthemum seedlings were still on the ground (not moved into the pot), and the wall next door fell down in the rainstorm, killing more than 30 species and more than 100 chrysanthemum seedlings. The whole family hasn't laughed for days.
There are joys and sorrows, laughter and tears, flowers and fruits, and fragrant colors. Work and study. This is the fun of growing flowers.
