Zhuo Feng bowed his head and was speechless, Xiao Xian asked softly: "Master Bai, is your wife your fellow student? The plum among the plums, orchids, pine, bamboo, and chrysanthemum?"

"You little girl is also clever. She is my fellow doorman, named Mei Xiang. She entered the door together with me. She looked younger than me, but insisted that she was older than me, and rushed to become my senior sister." As Bai Juyi spoke, his eyes were clouded with mist.

The five young men and women who went to Yunnan to study together were given the names of Meilan, Songzhuju. In fact, the names were not chosen randomly. Except for two of them who gave up halfway, the names they took were ordinary. It is also good at which crops.

"But sir, there are not many chrysanthemums in your house, only one bichrysanthemum." If it wasn't for Xiao Xian who could see the clues of the crops, I really didn't know that Bai Juyi liked to grow chrysanthemums.

"There is only one chrysanthemum, because she doesn't like chrysanthemums, she said it is only used for funerals, it looks bad, don't look at Mei who is not afraid of the sky, in fact, she hates life, old age, sickness and death, shed tears when encountering such a situation , I’m afraid she’ll look sad and stop planting chrysanthemums.” After hearing this, both Xiao Xian and Zhuo Feng were moved. of.

"But Master Bai, your wife has been dead for many years, and you don't need to worry about her anymore," Zhuo Feng changed his mind about Bai Juyi. Such a withdrawn old man is actually a sentimental type, and only Zhuo Feng Only those who have experienced the double experience of love and marriage know how difficult it is for a man to change his preferences.

Bai Juyi didn't speak, but sighed.

Xiaoxian, who had been listening to the two talking, sensed something was wrong.First the old man's house, then the old man's scissors and flower pots, besides these, did the old man forget one thing, missed something important, or something missing.

I want to see people, and I want to see corpses. Uncle Bai’s house has no utensils for worship, not only utensils, but also no photos. He loves his wife so much, why didn’t he leave anything to commemorate her? , but just keep those few scissors and flower pots, and even an invisible narcissus bulb.

"She didn't die, she just ran away from home," Bai Juyi said with great determination.

"Not dead? How could it be possible, didn't you keep saying that you are" a widower, Zhuo Feng swallowed it back.

"It is said that my wife died very early. Everyone around me said so, and I said it deliberately." Mei Xiang left for more than 30 years. , the two agreed to travel all over the country and see all the exotic flowers and plants in all parts of the country. For three full years, they walked from south to north.

In the snowy North Country, they got their marriage certificate together. That year, Bai Juyi was 28 years old and Mei Xiang was 25 years old.After receiving the certificate, at the suggestion of Bai Juyi's sister who lives in BJ, the two settled down in BJ because the dry and cold climate in the north is very suitable for plum blossom cultivation.

"We bought some land on the outskirts of BJ and built a house by ourselves. Every morning, I went out to the city to organize design crops for several parks, and she stayed at home to plant flower seedlings for business. We lived together for another three years "Those three years were very peaceful at the beginning, Bai Juyi ignored her sister's dissatisfaction that Mei Xiang hadn't given birth to a child, and lived happily ever after.About two and a half years later, Bai Juyi's sister fell ill, so Bai Juyi quit her job and stayed with her in the hospital.Although Bai Juyi took good care of him, his older sister died within half a year.

For some reason, when Bai Juyi was organizing her sister's funeral, Mei Xiang lost her temper for no reason. On the day of the funeral, Mei Xiang accused Bai Juyi of using the flower she hated the most in front of all the guests.

"That day, I was still immersed in the pain of my sister's death. I only said that she was making trouble for no reason. After slapping her, Mei Xiang left. I didn't expect that she would run away from home that night. She took all the photos and luggage with her, along with our marriage certificate. When I got home, all I saw was the pair of scissors she used to trim the plum branches, and this daffodil bulb and pot. I thought I was very I know her well, but I never realized that her favorite is not plum blossoms, but narcissus." After Bai Juyi finished speaking, she couldn't help crying.

The saddest thing in a person's life is not the separation of death, but the birth and separation of the person who is clearly in the world but does not know where the lover is. The old man in his 70s cried bitterly, causing both Xiao Xian and Zhuo Feng to feel sad, and they didn't know how to persuade him.

After listening to this narration, Xiao Xian and Zhuo Feng also understood that what really made Bai Juyi weak and sick was not age, but the longing that had been suppressed for more than 30 years.

Zhuo Feng has a straightforward temper, and she has to be fair in her life. She was both angry and moved when she heard the old man's experience, "Master Bai, what do you want her to do? It's been more than 30 years, even if she loses her temper, it should be enough." , and left without saying a word, she doesn't have you in her heart at all. Besides, it's just a slap in the face, let alone a slap in the face when I fell in love with our guy, he didn't know how many punches he took from me. "

"Guy, don't talk about your own affairs. From my point of view, Grandma Mei doesn't really hold grudges. She left behind her usual scissors and daffodils. There must be a reason. Otherwise, why didn't she Just take everything away," and even took away the marriage certificate.

"It's true, if it were me, I must have torn up the photo certificate and burned it to ashes to relieve my anger." Zhuo Feng said, and then took the narcissus bulb and checked it over and over again. The scissors were left for use. If the pots and bulbs stay together, it is definitely to make the white chrysanthemum easy to plant.

"Uncle Bai, didn't Mei Xiang's mother-in-law leave any words?" In fact, Mei Xiang left a single sentence, and only one sentence, which made Bai Juyi cut off the idea of ​​marrying a wife for the next 30 years and Li also declined. After receiving invitations from many parks and even some well-known foreign plantations, they closed their doors and concentrated on planting.

"'Hearts have a good understanding, and flowers bloom and fall at their own time.'" Bai Juyi thought that there must be something special about this daffodil. He knew Mei Xiang's temper, and he would never leave for no reason. Something to do with this daffodil bulb.

"It's like a series, no matter how you say it, it has to bloom. Master Bai, with your skills, can't you grow a daffodil?" Zhuo Feng also understood. Two years ago, Uncle Bai There is a row of daffodils at the door, which turned out to be for experiments.

"I also thought that it shouldn't be difficult to grow such a narcissus bulb. Who knows, I tried various methods, but I didn't cut the bulb. A closed bulb won't grow sprouts," said Bai Juyi. At first, he just used an ordinary garden hand knife to cut.The surface scales were easily torn off, but when trying to cut the incision, I couldn't find a tool that could cut through the narcissus bulb.

Bai Juyi even found a diamond knife specially used for cutting diamonds, and there was no trace left on the surface of the dry bulb.

Zhuo Feng didn't believe it anymore, and scraped the narcissus with the extremely sharp scissors, and the gray dust on the surface was scraped off, but when he went inside, the scissors seemed to encounter great resistance, and the scissors could not penetrate the stem.

"It's weird," Zhuo Feng didn't believe in evil, and used a little more force. This time, the scissors slid away from the daffodil's skin.

"Guy, don't try it, I think you've tried all kinds of methods. Uncle Bai, have you asked your colleagues, or checked the origin of this bulb, such as what species it is, or where it came from?" It can’t be that it fell from the sky. It’s easy to plant after checking the source. If the flowers can’t bloom and the buds can’t grow, it may be due to the wrong climate or the wrong cultivation method.

"I've checked, I've asked both at home and abroad, but I haven't found the source of this kind of narcissus. Generally, when the narcissus blooms, the flowers and leaves are used to distinguish the species," Bai Juyi finally said after years of trial. I gave up cultivating narcissus two years ago.

A narcissus bulb turned out to be a headless case. Mei Xiang left inexplicably, and there was another bulb that people couldn't get his hands on. Zhuo Feng could only feel worthless for the old man. How many 30 years of life do you have? Thanks to this shriveled "onion".

"Uncle Bai, if you don't suggest it, can you give me this bulb?" Xiao Xian's proposal made Bai Juyi slightly startled, but he immediately agreed, some things had to be let go, and death is like a lamp He died, and the illness came like a mountain, and he hadn't lived long.

"For so many years, I haven't been able to grow it. It may really be the same as what Mei wanted to stay. I have a good understanding. The old man, my fate with her has been broken more than 30 years ago. Forget it, I just want to be She is really dead." After Bai Juyi said this, he solemnly handed over the pair of scissors to Xiaoxian, "We have been neighbors with the little girl for half a year, and the old man has never given you any gifts. I see that you are very talented in gardening, and the fruits and vegetables on the roof are growing very well, so I will give you these scissors, which are very good for pruning branches and leaves."

Xiaoxian took it away, feeling heavy in her heart, and Zhuo Feng could also hear it from the side, the old man's words carried the meaning of last words.

When they walked out of the hospital, Zhuo Feng and Xiao Xian were a little unhappy. Anyone who heard such a story with a beginning but no end would always have some regrets in his heart.

The aunt and nephew didn't take a few steps, Xiao Xian stopped suddenly, wasn't Zhang Yiyi walking by on the other side of the road, she turned around and walked into a building furtively.

"Xiao Xian, what's the matter?" Zhuo Feng followed Xiao Xian's gaze and looked over.

"I seem to see my friend, the one I met at the school gate that time," Xiao Xian and Zhuo Feng saw a big signboard of "An'an Plastic Surgery" hanging on the door of the building at the same time.
