Yang Yi carried a large bouquet of flowers as he walked around the campus, which attracted the attention of many students who stayed back during the holidays. However, they did not think that he was going to confess.
Yang Yi was wearing a white T-shirt, shorts, and flip-flops. No matter how they looked at it, he did not look like he was going to confess!
Moreover, Xiao Luo was very considerate as he separated the different types of flowers for Yang Yi and wrapped them into bundles with newspapers … Therefore, Yang Yi looked more like a delivery boy.
Yang Yi did not know this of course. He rushed back with big strides.
In the end, just as he went upstairs, Yang Yi was stunned to see a few big and small vases in the living room. They had been washed, and the wet water stains extended from the bottom of the vases to the bathroom.
"…" A few black lines seemed to hang down Yang Yi's forehead.
"Hey, you're back? What flowers did you buy? " Murphy rolled up her trousers, revealing her fair calves and playful feet. She walked out of the bathroom in slippers and was holding a freshly washed vase. When she saw Yang Yi, she smiled brightly.
It was as if an iceberg had melted. That bright smile made Yang Yi forget what he wanted to say.
"Mom, do you have any more?" Xi Xi poked her head out of the bathroom. She was holding a black brush in her hand. It seemed that she had helped her mother a lot.
"No more! But don't come out first. Mom wants to wash your hands with soap! "Murphy shouted. She put down the vase and quickly turned to go back to the bathroom.
Yang Yi gently placed the bouquet of flowers on the dining table. Then, he turned to look at the vases and the water stains on the floor. He shook his head helplessly.
Forget it. I'll just pretend that I didn't see anything!
When everything is done, I'll clean it up slowly …
Ever since there was a noisy little girl at home, Yang Yi's OCD had improved quite a bit. Of course, this improvement could be put in another way. He could choose to ignore it for a period of time.
…
After a while, Murphy came out with a giggling Xi Xi.
"You've just recovered from your fever, yet you're still soaking in so much water!" Yang Yi reproached as he continued, "You're going to have a relapse later!"
"It's okay. I basically don't soak in the water. I use the shower head to wash. Moreover, the sun is scorching the water today. It won't affect it at all! "Murphy laughed.
She was indeed in a good mood. Perhaps it was because of the joy she felt when she was washing bottles with her daughter in the washroom. Now, she spoke with a smile.
Murphy's smile was actually very beautiful, like a hundred flowers blooming. It was even more beautiful than when she was ice- cold!
She was already an adult, so she should know how to take care of herself. Yang Yi didn't nag.
On the contrary, Xi Xi couldn't wait to interrupt. She took her father's hand and said, "PaPa, let me tell you, the water is really hot. Mom said that if Xi Xi bathes in this water, she will be cooked! And just now, Mom asked Xi Xi to wash her hands, but Xi Xi didn't dare to … "
Yang Yi felt funny and touched the little girl's head. He listened to her story for a while before she stopped.
"Where did you get these vases?" Yang Yi finally had a chance to ask the question in his heart.
"Don't you know? In that painting studio! " Murphy raised her head proudly. Her casually tied ponytail was very youthful and pretty. "There is a big box in it, which contains these beautiful vases. But they are not antiques. They used to grow flowers, but I don't know why they were put away later."
Yang Yi understood. He had cleaned up the painting studio, but because it was rarely used, it was basically idle. He didn't want to open the things inside. After all, they were things left by Old Master Hu.
But … Murphy took them out now, so he let it go. Anyway, Old Master Hu also said that Yang Yi could use the things in the house freely. He could even change the furniture that he didn't want. It was best to keep them as much as possible. But Old Master Hu still understood that young people had their own aesthetic standards, so he only asked Yang Yi to take good care of this small building and keep his memory.
These vases might have been used by Old Master Hu's wife in the past.
Why did they put them away? Naturally, there was an answer to this question.
But Yang Yi didn't intend to tell Murphy. He smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Since you found them, take them out and use them. But be careful not to break them … The main thing is that these are porcelain. They are easy to break. It's not good if the fragments cut Xi Xi!"
Murphy nodded and said, "In fact, I want to buy glass vases made of tempered glass. They are transparent and not easy to break. But these vases are beautiful! Look at the flowers and birds on them. They are so well painted. The colors are still so bright after being washed clean! "
"Did you hear what PaPa said?" Murphy also educated Xi Xi. "These vases can't be touched casually. If you break them, PaPa will be very angry!"
However, the little girl's big eyes were full of wisdom. She said unwillingly, "PaPa won't be angry. PaPa won't be fierce to Xi Xi! Only Mom will be fierce to you! "
Yang Yi couldn't help but laugh.
Murphy was ashamed and angry. She pulled Xi Xi over and pretended to slap the little girl's butt twice. Of course, she didn't use much strength. "When did Mom become fierce to you?"
"Yes, yes, PaPa never slaps Xi Xi's butt!" Xi Xi pouted. She would rather die than surrender to the evil forces.
…
Murphy wanted to arrange flowers. Yang Yi, who had nothing else to do, certainly wanted to help. According to Murphy's instructions, he unwrapped the flowers wrapped in the newspaper and took them to the bathroom to wash the mud off the roots.
This was not enough. In order to keep the blooming flowers fresh, Murphy also had to cut off the leaves at the roots of the flowers. She even had to burn the roots of some flowers.
"In this way, the nutrients stored in them can be preserved to the greatest extent and it can prevent them from rotting." Murphy explained to Yang Yi.
Of course, Murphy also had to cut the branches into different lengths according to the layers of the flower arrangement.
Not all flowers were treated the same way. For example, daffodils had to be placed in light salt water, while lilies had to be placed in sugar water. Yang Yi didn't understand this at all. He could only sit with Xi Xi and watch Murphy's "performance" with admiration.
There were more details to the flower arrangement. Putting the big flowers at the bottom first and the small flowers at the top was just a small trick.
"The number of flowers of the same type in each layer must be an odd number. The number can be different, but the flowers of the same type with an odd number will form a more unique image." Murphy explained.
"The color combination is also very important. It depends on where the vase is placed. For more festive places, or your coffee shop, flowers with thick and warm colors will be used. The colors will be red, orange, and yellow. For example, we can use clean and comfortable neutral colors in the living room and bedroom at home! "
Murphy smiled and said, "Of course, not all colors are the same. Different types of color combination will have different feelings, especially when the contrast is sharp …"
She had just completed a small vase flower arrangement of lilies and daisies. Although it was not complicated, after the combination, the pure white of the lilies and the bright color of the daisies were combined organically. It was neither monotonous nor too lively.
It looked like a work of art!
