Chapter 56 Silence of the Lambs
Chapter 56 Silence of the Lambs
Qi Rong had booked dinner for the evening as usual, but he said he had to leave early because of something at the company.
"Please take good care of Yuan Lai for me."
"By the way, don't move that pot of Epiphyllum for now. If the sun is too strong during the day, just put an umbrella over it."
As soon as Qi Rong left, the brothers gathered around the pot of flowers.
"Is this flower dead?"
"It's hard to say. The leaves are all dead and the petals are wilted. It's hard for it to survive."
"Why did Mr. Qi buy withered flowers?"
"I don't know. I don't understand the world of rich people."
Xiaojiu took out his phone and tapped away for a while, then finally held it up and said, "Found it!"
The others looked at Shaoxi, who quickly read from the encyclopedia, "Rainbow Epiphyllum, also known as Jiyue Youtan, is an endangered species. It blooms in all seasons, mostly at night, with a very short flowering period. It prefers warmth and humidity, is slightly toxic, and can be used as medicine."
"This is indeed the only place with shade. Mr. Qi even watered it. Look, the flower is alive!"
Yuan Lai squeezed into the crowd and saw that the originally withered branches and leaves gradually stretched out and the petals stood up.
What a magical flower.
"Okay, the meal is here, everyone hurry up and eat, it looks like you're all gathered here to look at the flowers." When the eldest brother came back from welcoming the people who came to see off the meal, he saw a group of heads gathered around the fence and shook his head helplessly.
"Hey, have you heard of that saying?" Shaoxi asked mysteriously.
"What?" The second brother was the first to respond.
"The ephemeral flower blooms only for Wei Tuo!" Shao Xi said excitedly, "This is a touching mythological story."
The third brother opened the lid and used it as a bowl, saying with a smile, "Why, this rainbow night-blooming cereus also has a story?"
Shaoxi pushed Yuan'er aside and sat next to his third brother, sharing his discovery, "Look at this, it's said to be..."
Yuan Lai didn't hear the rest of the words clearly. When she heard the sound of flowers blooming, she ran outside and saw that the pot of rainbow night-blooming cereus had fully recovered and the whole flower was in full bloom.
Yuan Lai looked up and saw a full moon hanging in the sky, its bright moonlight as cool as water.
The fragrance of this flower also helps with sleep. Yuan Lai blinked his eyes and finally fell over uncontrollably.
When she woke up, the flower had returned to its withered appearance during the day.
A light drizzle began to fall, and Yuan Lai found himself on a long bench with a transparent umbrella over his head.
There is concern, but not much.
"Awake?" The third brother was wearing a raincoat and his hands were covered in mud.
"I left the meal for you in the kitchen. Go eat it yourself if you're hungry."
My third brother was busy pruning the flower bed and transplanting the flowers he bought yesterday.
Yuan Lai watched silently. Some of the leaves of Margaret's flowers had turned black, but his third brother didn't notice.
"Meow~"
Gengyun came over with a pair of pruning shears and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
He glanced at the flower bed, saw the flowers he had missed, and quickly cut off the blackened leaves.
"Are you not going to eat yet? The food will get cold soon."
Yuan Lai jumped off the stool and took a few steps when he felt raindrops hitting his body. The rain was quite heavy.
"Hello, Sister Xu!" Xiaotong and Yuan'er had just returned to the field when they saw Sister Xu, the owner of the sheep farm, getting off the car with her master at the intersection from afar.
"Hello!"
Sister Xu led the master to the breeding area. Xiaotong and Yuan'er returned to the greenhouse.
"They are shearing sheep today. I wonder if the wool can be sold." Yuan'er was full of questions.
The child picked off the yellow leaves and said, "I guess we can't sell them. There are only so few. How can we sell them?"
"That's right." Yuan'er handed the plucked leaves to Yuan Lai, "Do you want to eat vegetables?"
Yuan Lai remained unmoved.
"You don't want to eat it." Yuan'er threw the leaves into the trash bag.
"The grass outside is taller than the corn. Xiao He's geese and ducks only eat the corn seedlings and vegetables, leaving the grass alone. I really don't understand how they can accurately distinguish between grass and seedlings."
The child replied, "How do you tell which is the seedling and which is the grass?"
"I don't know. I just looked at it and knew this was grass and this was a seedling."
The child laughed, "The goose thinks so too."
The sounds of machines in the breeding area began to sound, and I could faintly hear some noises over here.
The geese are in the field, so does that mean she can go to the breeding area?
Yuan Lai crawled through the grass by the roadside and saw three people in the breeding area shearing sheep under the guidance of a master.
Seeing that the ground was too muddy, Yuan Lai did not go over. She jumped onto the shoulders of a photographer and watched from a distance.
"Recycling is by the ton, 6,000 yuan per ton, which is 3 yuan per kilogram."
"Then we have...a few grams..."
Dun Dun smiled awkwardly, "I can't even make back the three dollars."
The big goose seemed to have a navigation system installed. It returned to the sheep shed and stared at Yuan Lai who was sitting on the photographer's shoulder.
"Stand back a little. I think this goose is going to get you."
The photographer was confused and poked with a long pole, "Back off!"
The goose spread its wings and walked away with its neck stretched out.
The shearing process was relaxing to watch, but the machine was too loud.
Yuan Lai didn't understand what they were talking about.
The sheep in the shed were so frightened that they were completely silent. The three members of the breeding team joked, "These sheep, who usually show off their might, are now so frightened that they dare not make a sound."
"You usually bully us, but now you know you're afraid of us."
The sheep looked much whiter after being shaved, and it was much more pleasing to the eye than before. However, the sheep did look thin, no wonder it did not meet the selling standards later.
After shearing the wool, Sister Xu took her master away, and the three members of the breeding team began to feed the sheep.
Dun Dun looked at the flock thoughtfully, "It seems someone stole several of our sheep."
"The sheep shed suddenly feels a lot more spacious." YiBo filled the water bottle and opened his arms.
"After shearing their wool, I can't catch them." Xiao He took the sheep that had escaped back.
"Five-hundred-six-one has also behaved well."
"That couldn't stop it from running away. It's strange that out of all the sheep out there, it's the only one running away."
Yuan Lai was searching for the eccentric lamb among the flock.
"What are you looking for?"
Yuan Lai looked in the direction of the sound and saw a very sloppily dressed sheep that had just been shaved standing not far from the photographer.
"Don't look at me anymore. I'm asking you. I've been observing you for a long time. Where did you come from?"
"By the way, why didn't you come for a while? I thought you were dead."
"And that dog hasn't been here for a long time."
Yuan Lai didn't expect that this little curly-haired boy was such a chatterbox.
"There are geese." She said cautiously, not knowing what it meant.
"Goose? Are you talking about Little Gray? It's okay, it just mistook you for that female cat. I told it to stop chasing you. Come over more often in the future, I'm bored."
Yuan Lai never expected that an occasional trip to the breeding area would bring him unexpected gains.
However, Curly also changed his fate with his own wisdom. If he had not performed so well, he might have become a meal like other sheep.
Yuan Lai jumped off the photographer and took a shortcut back to the Youth Home.
In the yard, the third brother was still tinkering with his flower bed.
"My flowers have all fallen over! How can you save them?" The second brother came and went in a hurry, and there were several pots of roses lying all over the third brother's stool.
Haohao passed by and picked up the fallen rose, "Why don't you put all these flowers in your flower bed."
"Okay, that's what he wants to do."
"I don't know. You should plant them quickly. These have all fallen over." Haohao moved the roses to the edge of the flower bed.
The third brother looked around and found a place to plant roses among the many green plants.
"You have to find something to prop it up, otherwise it will fall over if it's not long enough."
"You stabbed me! I saved you, but you still stabbed me." Gengyun found a bamboo and stuck it into the soil, successfully transplanting the rose. "Not bad, not bad. It's really great."
"You're still wandering around?" The third brother picked up Yuan Lai and threw him into the kitchen. "You're not actively eating. There's something wrong with your thinking."
