Chapter 149 Worthy of being Brother Nan
Brother Nan looked up at the wintersweet tree, pinched it here, looked there, and suddenly turned to look at Li Mu and said:
"When you were little, did your teacher teach you how to make bookmarks?"
"some."
"Hey, what are you made of?"
"It seems to be made of leaves." Li Mu was brought back to his childhood memories by Brother Nan's question.
He remembered that after school, he went to the woods and picked up a lot of leaves. He spent a long time choosing the best-looking one. After wiping it clean, he put it in a thick dictionary and waited for the leaves to dry.
Then use glue to stick the dried leaves onto the cardboard and cut them into shape to make a simple leaf bookmark.
This is a memory from elementary school. I thought I had forgotten it long ago, but when I think back on it, it seems like yesterday. I even remember clearly the excitement I felt when I successfully made a bookmark for the first time.
A smile appeared unconsciously on Li Mu's lips.
Memory is indeed like a cup of tea. As time goes by, you can feel its sweetness more. It will not disappear and will always be there. As long as you recall it, the beauty will remain in your heart and will last forever.
Li Mu slowly came back to his senses and found that Sister Nan and the kitten in her arms were staring at him without blinking.
"You are stunned, yet you are still smiling so happily." Brother Nan looked at him suspiciously, "Did your wife give birth to a child too?"
"."
"Did you hear what I just said?"
"what?"
"I said you are an idiot." Brother Nan rolled his eyes at him.
Li Mu pursed his lips and defended himself: "Didn't you ask me if I made bookmarks when I was a child? I can tell you after I recall it."
"You were recalling seriously just now?"
"Yes."
"Don't you usually answer this kind of thing casually?"
"That's for others, you have to be attentive to Brother Nan."
"This, this is it"
Brother Nan turned his head to look at Lamei, and glanced at Li Mu out of the corner of his eye, "Actually, I didn't say you were an idiot."
"Ok?"
"What I meant is that I also made bookmarks when I was a child, and they were made of plum blossoms."
"Is that so?" Li Mu looked at Brother Nan twice.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Brother Nan turned his head and looked at him again.
"No." Li Mu waved his hand, thought for a moment, and said, "Brother Nan, you are mighty and domineering. I thought you must have been a leader among children when you were young, and you probably played things that boys like, such as riding horses and fighting. I didn't expect you to be like this."
"So gentle and elegant, right?"
Li Mu nodded, which was roughly the same idea.
"whispering sound."
Brother Nan snorted, "I was a beautiful girl when I was young. What girl doesn't like beautiful things?"
"Right."
"But the reason I remember it so clearly is because of my grandfather."
"Ok?"
"At that time, I was in the senior class of kindergarten, and the teacher taught us how to make bookmarks." Brother Nan stroked the kitten and said as he recalled, "After school, the teacher left us homework, asking us to make a bookmark each and present it to the class the next day."
"I went to the park after school and found that the kids in my class were all picking up leaves. Who the hell is Ben Nan? How could I do the same as them? I just carried my schoolbag and went home."
"After I got home, I went to the garden to see if the seeds I planted had sprouted and if they had frozen to death. I happened to see the wintersweet tree my grandfather had planted was in bloom. The flowers were so beautiful."
"That wintersweet tree was given to my grandfather by someone else. It was planted less than a year ago, so not many flowers have bloomed yet."
Brother Nan chuckled and said, "I went back to the house, got the scissors, moved a small stool and cut off the most beautiful flower."
"And then?" Li Mu asked at the right time.
"Then my grandfather sighed while helping me make the bookmark. He didn't even eat dinner and felt bad for several days. From then on, whenever I went to the garden, he would follow me."
“.”You are worthy of me.
Li Mu silently withdrew the image of Xiao Nan that he had created in his mind as a well-behaved and beautiful girl, and instead replaced it with the image of a little devil with two horns on his head.
"By the way, what kind of wintersweet flowers did you cut?" Li Mu asked curiously.
What kind of plum blossom would make Brother Nan’s grandfather sad for several days?
"My grandfather told me it's called the Lotus Plum." Brother Nan grinned, "The flowers are indeed bigger than the average wintersweet, and their shape is very similar to the lotus, and the fragrance is especially pleasant."
"That's it"
Li Mu knew why Brother Nan’s grandfather was heartbroken.
The tree that Brother Nan cut should be the white plum.
When the plum blossoms are in full bloom, the flowers are pure yellow with a waxy texture, and except for the white center of the flower, there is no other color. This kind of flower is called the Su Xin plum.
The white plum blossoms are fragrant and large, and their shape is similar to that of a lotus when they bloom, so they are also called lotus plum. It is a relatively precious variety of wintersweet.
"I miss my grandfather a little bit." Brother Nan was reminded of his grandfather by his childhood memories.
"Grandpa?"
"In the capital."
"Then go visit him during the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days."
"I want to go back for National Day and stay a little longer."
"Okay."
"Our yard is so big, but there's not a single flower tree except for the grass you planted." Brother Nan looked at the mountain wintersweet in front of him, "Do you think the wintersweet tree can be cut into cuttings?"
"Yes, but it's late in the season now. Cuttings are usually taken in the spring."
"Everything depends on human effort. The apples in the backyard just don't grow well."
Brother Nan glanced at Li Mu and put the kitten in his arms.
Then she reached out her hand, picked up a branch she had picked out long ago, and said to the wintersweet tree, "Hello, I'm here to lend you a branch. If it survives, you will have descendants for generations to come."
Big trees naturally cannot speak.
Brother Nan waited for a while and nodded, "Okay, since you agree, I'll pick it."
Li Mu watched from the side without saying anything, his heart calm and indifferent.
He noticed Brother Nan's abnormality and knew why he was acting abnormally.
After spending so much time together, Brother Nan might have figured out something a long time ago.
But he didn't say it, so Brother Nan held back and didn't ask.
"Look." Brother Nan handed the picked branch to Li Mu.
"Good, it's a perfect choice." Li Mu took a look and nodded.
This is a perennial branch with young buds on it, which is most suitable for cuttings.
Nan Ge’s grandfather and father both like to grow flowers. Under their influence, her flower-growing skills will not be low either.
"That's right, who is our Lao Jiang!" Brother Nan raised her chin proudly, took out a plastic bag to wrap the branches, and put it into her white canvas bag.
"Let's go, patrol the forest quickly, and then go home." Brother Nan turned around gracefully.
Li Mu followed behind him, smiled, and followed with the kitten in his arms.
Along the way, Brother Nan's abnormal behavior became more and more frequent.
Not only did he chat with the kitten across servers, but he would also talk to unknown flowers and plants when he encountered them, and he would secretly glance at Li Mu while talking.
The kitten took small steps, walked up to Li Mu and hooked his trouser leg.
"What's wrong, Mr. Yogurt?" Li Mu bent down and held the kitten in his arms.
"Why is Blue talking to the grass?"
"She is a fool. Master Yogurt, don't learn from Brother Nan."
