Even a person like me who has studied flowers doesn’t know what kind of flower it is. He saw me staring at it and put the flower in my arms: “This is called Zishu, and the blue one is a new variety. It was only used as a companion. The flower is like a baby’s breath. I saw that it was beautiful in small and small flowers, so I asked the clerk to wrap a large bouquet, you see, Xiao Sheng.” His long fingers fiddled with Hua Gu Duo:” Some things can actually be the protagonist, but others don’t give him a chance.”
I don’t know who he is alluding to, but the fog is indeed beautiful.
I sincerely say thank you, and at the same time worry about the fate of this bunch of flowers.
Yesterday’s rose was thrown on the terrace outside the window. It is estimated that the heat sprayed by the outside air-conditioning unit last night has now wilted.
Qiao Jianqi took the bouquet from my arms: “Do you have other vases in your room?”
He quickly found the empty vase on the window sill, which was actually yesterday.
He picked it up and looked at me, then looked back at me: “This seems to be the one from yesterday?”
I smiled awkwardly, because he just craned his neck to take a look, and he could see yesterday’s Qiangwei lying miserably on the terrace.
Qiao Jianqi is a clever man. Without asking any more questions, he put the flowers in the vase.
I changed my clothes a long time ago. I asked Boyu before Qiao Jianqi came. He said that in fact, the scheduled customer will still come at the original time, so there is plenty of time. I want to rush to the cemetery and come back again. The time is almost the same.
“Let’s go!” I said to Qiao Jianqi, and he nodded: “Okay.”
The scorching sun wins over the fire outside, and Qiao Jianqi doesn’t know where he has transformed a parasol over my head. I am a little surprised.
“I don’t think you are someone who can use a parasol.”
“I don’t think so.” He smiled happily, showing his white teeth: “It’s specially prepared for you. Girls are afraid of sunburn, and you should take good care of being so white.”
“You are so careful, it seems that no one has had ten or eight girlfriends, and that’s not the experience.”
“Of course I have had a girlfriend, but I am born to take care of girls.” He winked at me.
What he said was not wrong. When he was a kid, when he took me to play with Qiao Yi, he climbed the tree to pick small peaches. Qiao Yi wanted to climb and he refused, so he climbed to the top of the tree and picked the peaches and threw them down for us to continue.
He can take care of people quite well, this is a little bit of my impression of him.
Qiao Jianqi drove by himself, and when I was in the co-pilot, he was very considerate to help me fasten my seat belt.
“Have you had breakfast?” he asked me as he started the car.
“Ate.”
“Oh, then let’s go directly to the cemetery.”
Actually, I’m not sure that Qiao Jianqi’s main purpose for paying homage to my dad is to get close to me, or to build a good impression in front of me.
I vaguely think that he is not such a fake and superficial person, but I can’t even see Xi Qingchuan, who gets along day and night, so why should I see through others?
When the cemetery arrived, Qiao Jianqi took out a paper bag from the trunk. I didn’t know what was in it. He held the umbrella in one hand for me, which made me a little embarrassed.
“I’ll do it myself.” I said.
“No, girls and men go out. Don’t do things like holding umbrellas. They should be done for men.” He is tall and the umbrella is raised high. My whole person is shrouded in the shade.
My father was buried not long ago. The ashes had been placed in the columbarium before. Later, I found an auspicious day for the burial.
I came here a while ago and wiped the tombstone clean with a handkerchief, and it looks very clean now.
Qiao Jianqi took out the things he had brought from the paper bag one by one.
I found out that he actually brought a thermos water bottle, a small teapot with a few cups, and a tube of tea leaves.
“I remember that Uncle Xiao used to drink this kind of white tea the most.”
“Oh.” It seems like this, I didn’t even pay attention.
“At that time, when my mother took me to ask Aunt Fanqin for trouble, we would often sneak to your house to play and see a lot of this white tea in your pantry.”
His observations are so subtle and his memory is good. I have a lot of impressions when he mentions many things like this.
“Thank you, you are interested.”
He made tea on the spot, first washing the tea and then making it, very professional.
He poured a cup for Dad, put it in front of the tombstone, poured another cup for me and handed it to me: “Come with uncle for a cup of tea.”
His tone was as if Dad was sitting across from us chatting and drinking tea with us.
My tears flowed out almost instantly.
However, he didn’t seem to have seen me, so I sorted out my emotions in a short period of time.
Qiao Jianqi talked to my dad at the tombstone and talked about his life over the past few years.
From his narrative, I know that when he went abroad with his mother, his mother opened a Chinese restaurant. Later, it grew bigger and bigger, and there were chains in many cities. Qiao Jianqi was in charge of these shops.
When Qiao Jianqi was talking, I was sitting on the side steps holding an umbrella, watching the sun shine from the transparent part of the lace on the side of the umbrella, and the light and shadow shone brightly on my shoes.
Now, I’m like a kid who overhears the conversation between my father and the guests, sitting on the side listening obediently.
The sun is getting bigger and bigger, and the weather is now getting hotter, and the sun will be violent after nine o’clock.
Qiao Jianqi stood up and pulled me up by the way: “I will have tea with my uncle another day, don’t you just leave the hospital in the sun for so long.”
He is very considerate, and he is considerate and does not show any traces, and does not make people feel uncomfortable.
He helped me to walk slowly outside the cemetery under an umbrella. When I walked around, the wind was blowing, and it was a little bit cool, very comfortable.
“Where are you going next? I’ll see you off.”
“I’ll go back to the hospital.” I said.
“Oh.” He nodded and didn’t ask more: “Then take you back to the hospital.”
He opened the door and I got into the car. He thoughtfully helped me fasten my seat belt. I said I could. He buckled it quickly and tilted his head at me: “I started the car.”
Along the way, I had no words to ask for words: “Have you seen my godfather in the morning?”
“Well, he was drinking porridge, and had a bowl with him.”
“How is godfather today?”
“It’s not bad if you can eat it.” He looked back at me: “There are so many things that cannot be passed in life. You can live if you eat and sleep.”
Thinking that he was not too old, suddenly felt this way.
I think he has experienced a lot, but he always has a smile on his face.
“You seem to like to laugh.” I said.
“Well, I’ve liked it since I was a child,” he winked at me: “Did you forget? My mother once went to trouble Aunt Fanqin. I leaned back and laughed with you, and then my mother forgot to find Fanqin. Auntie troubles me and beat me directly.”
Oh, I remember this very deeply.
In my impression, Qiao Jianqi’s mother is a particularly agitated and irritable woman. She gets angry at every turn. Not only does she entangle Qiao’s mother, but she is also fierce to her own son, and she has never given a good face.
I think, such a woman, maybe Dad Qiao can’t love it even if he wants to love it!
