The idea of planting flowers was suggested by Murphy.
In the past few days, Mo Fei had been idling at home. She found that the flowerbed outside the coffee shop, after a winter's destruction, the flowers inside were scattered. It was no longer as blooming as before, and even weeds had grown in many places.
Thus, Murphy suggested that the family use this weekend to take care of the flower garden.
Yang Yi readily agreed, and he was also very happy to organize such a family activity, so this morning, Xi Xi, who was going to participate in the work, was armed by her father.
The little girl was wearing long water shoes, denim suspenders, and a towel of the same style as the old worker's was tied around her neck. She wore a sunhat on her head, and the pink little fairy suddenly turned into a pure and lovely little village girl.
But she still thought that this outfit was very interesting, and giggled non-stop in the morning.
Before planting flowers, they had to remove the weeds and loosen the soil. This labor was taken care of by Yang Yi, and Murphy helped to dig out the flowers that were still alive, and put them aside with the soil.
Of course, Xi Xi was still given a small piece of the task field, which was full of weeds. The little girl was very excited, and she did not feel tired at all. She waved her little hoe with all her might, and plowed that piece of land as if it had been dug by dogs.
When Xi Xi went on stage, Yang Yi naturally did not dare to relax, and he carefully watched from the side, afraid that the little girl would swing the hoe and hit his foot. Although it was a child's hoe, the handle was made of hard plastic, and the blade was made of wood, and the blade was blunt, but it was still heavy, and it would be terrible if it hit his head or foot!
But the little girl was very happy, and she tirelessly turned that small piece of land upside down.
"Okay, okay, that's enough!" Yang Yi did not know whether to laugh or cry as he pulled his daughter.
"Dad, let me play for a while, okay? Let me help you, okay? "The little girl pointed at the piece of land that her father had not finished, and said expectantly.
"That won't do. This hoe can't be used for too long. In a while, it will break. Don't you want to keep it as a souvenir?" Yang Yi said with a smile.
Xi Xi looked at the hoe with the cartoon sticker on it and then at her father's field. After some hesitation, she chose to cherish it. "Okay!"
"Xi Xi, come over here and help Mom hold this flower. Mom wants to change the soil for it," Murphy chimed in. She gave Xi Xi another small task.
Seeing Yang Yi and the others working, Ding Xiang and Yang Huan wanted to come out and help, but they were rejected by Yang Yi.
There was no need to make a big fuss over such a small garden. Moreover, Yang Yi intended to treat this as a family activity and let Xi Xi experience the joy of working.
Yang Yi used a rake to loosen the soil in the flowerbed. At the same time, he sorted out the stones and grass mixed in the soil.
When Yang Yi finished, he turned his head and saw Xi Xi was focused on helping her mother hold the stems of the flowers. Murphy, on the other hand, was clearing the soil around the flowers that were dug out from the flowerbed, leaving only the moist soil around the roots.
The little girl squatting on the ground was very serious. There was no smile on her little face, and her little mouth was slightly open, as if she had forgotten to close it.
Murphy did not care about her image at all. She was kneeling on the soil with one knee, tilting her head and using a small broom to tidy up the soil around the roots of the flowers. If her hair was not tied up, it would probably be hanging to the ground.
Perhaps she did not notice when she was wiping her sweat, but Murphy's face was also stained with some soil. She looked like a completely different person from the gorgeous, high-spirited star on the stage.
Now Murphy, like Xi Xi, was like a beautiful village girl!
But in Yang Yi's eyes, their image was also very beautiful, very real, and pitiful.
Finally, Murphy was done. She clapped her hands, raised her head with a smile, and said, "I've made you wait for a long time. Now, let's plant the flowers!"
Yang Yi came back to his senses at this time. He walked over, took off the towel around his neck, and wiped the soil on Murphy's face. He said softly, "You've worked hard!"
"How is it hard? I'm very happy! " Yang Yi showed off his love with Murphy outdoors in front of his daughter. Murphy was happy in her heart, but she was still a little embarrassed, so she whispered.
"PaPa, you don't say that I've worked hard. Look, I'm so dirty!" Xi Xi felt that her hands were dirty, but she did not know where to wipe them. She also liked to be clean, so she was reluctant to wipe them on her denim suspenders. Now that she saw that her father was busy wiping her mother's face and ignoring her, she pouted and said unhappily.
Yang Yi could not help laughing. He came over with a towel and said lovingly, "Okay, I'll wipe it for you now. You've worked hard too!"
When planting flowers, Yang Yi and the others did not need to rush the progress. They could take their time. Therefore, they did not need to be in charge of which piece of land like before. Instead, they arranged the process of planting flowers according to the difficulty of the work.
Yang Yi was responsible for digging the hole and filling the soil behind, while Murphy was responsible for carrying the flower plants and planting them. Of course, the flowers here, in addition to the original flower plants, also included the artificially cultivated flower seedlings that Yang Yi bought at the flower and bird market yesterday. Murphy had her own ideas about the layout.
As for Xi Xi, she was responsible for flattening the soil that her father had filled and then watering it.
He saw the little girl running around happily with her little shower head in her hand. After her parents finished planting the flowers, she used her cute water boots to flatten the soil next to the flower plants. Then she took two steps back and carefully watered them with the sprinkler, as if she was worried that the water would spill on her beautiful water boots.
The sprinkler was not big enough. After all, it was for children. After watering it once, she had to go to the bucket next to her to fill it with water. The weather was still a little cold, and the water in the bucket was also very cold. In the morning, Xi Xi was frozen once. The cold made the little girl grimace in pain when she wanted to wash her hands. Therefore, every time Xi Xi filled the bucket with water, she had to be careful and try to avoid direct contact with the water in the bucket.
But accidents were always inevitable.
"Wow!" Xixi grabbed the showerhead and didn't notice that she had raised it a little. As a result, a stream of water flowed down and dripped onto the little girl's hand through the handle of the showerhead, causing Xixi to exclaim in surprise.
"What's wrong?" Murphy looked at her worriedly.
However, the little girl giggled. She walked over with the sprinkler and told her Mom about it as a joke. "Mom, let me tell you. When the water fell, I thought it would be very cold, but it wasn't. I got a fright."
It turned out that after the sun rose, the water in the bucket was not as cold as before. Moreover, after the sprinkler, the temperature was obviously not as low as before. Xi Xi gave herself a fright.
After Murphy figured it out, she laughed too. She rolled up Xi Xi's wet sleeves and said, "You didn't scare yourself, but you scared Mom."
Amidst such laughter, the family worked for the whole morning and finally renovated the flowerbed.
However, the results could not be seen yet. Apart from a small area where the presbyopia was planted, the flowers in the other areas were still in the state of seedlings. It would probably take a few more weeks for them to bloom.
But looking at the neatly arranged flowerbed, not only was Mo Fei very happy, but Yang Yi also felt a lot better. It was because the number of flower seedlings he bought was correct. It was just enough to plant even rows and even columns. Although the flowerbed was not square, this neat arrangement made people feel very comfortable at first glance!
When they returned to the coffee shop, Yang Yi was about to take Murphy and Xi Xi to the bathroom in the back to wash their shoes and hands before going upstairs. However, when he saw Guo Ziyi hiding in the coffee shop, he became alert.
