Chapter 28 The twenty-seventh choice of color-changing flowers

Last year, there was a pot of red hydrangea on Master Zhiyuan's flower shelf, which was a gift from Master Lin from the town government.Benefactor Lin said that he bought this potted flower when he was on a business trip. When Lin Benefactor said this, Jie Chen was very surprised, because Jie Chen knew that Lin Benefactor usually had a lot of trivial work and had no time to take care of flowers and plants. In addition, he was not a flower lover, so Lin Benefactor's room was basically There are no flowers and plants.Benefactor Lin’s friend once gave him some potted flowers. Donor Lin knew it would not last long, so he just put them in the house for a few days before giving them to Master Zhiyuan.But this time, the flowers sent by benefactor Lin were a little different from the previous ones. He actually bought them on his own initiative.

Benefactor Lin explained that when he came back from a business trip and took a long-distance bus, he went to the station too early, so he walked around for a while, and when he passed the flower shop, he was invited into the shop by the enthusiastic proprietress. Benefactor Lin said that he just thought that the pot of hydrangea bloomed beautifully, so he stopped to look at it for a while, but was dragged into the shop by the proprietress in a trance.The proprietress's eloquence is so good, so Lin benefactor bought this potted flower in a daze. Although the process of buying flowers is a bit confusing, Lin said that this flower is quite unique, because it is not like other flowers that can be of any color, but can be artificially controlled.Its flower color depends on the pH of the soil. If it is acidic soil, it will bloom blue flowers, and if it is alkaline soil, it will be red.

Lin's benefactor's words made Jie Chen feel very novel, and it is quite interesting to think about it.If Benefactor Lin's statement is correct, as long as you add some different fertilizers to the pot, the red flower in the pot may turn blue. After Lin benefactor left, Jie Chen checked the information on the Internet, followed the method provided on the Internet, and inserted a rusty iron nail into the flower pot.Of course, Jie Chen is not so confident in his flower-growing skills, so he didn't tell Benefactor Lin his thoughts in advance, but planned to ask Lin Benefactor to come and visit if the hydrangea successfully changed color.

The desire to refrain from anger does not come true so quickly, because the flowering period of the hydrangea is over soon, and it will take a long time for it to bloom again. In the summer, Benefactor Lin talked to Jie Chen about his thoughts in the chat. It turned out that Benefactor Lin had gone to a class reunion in other places, and he met many friends who hadn't seen each other for many years at the class reunion.Benefactor Lin said that many of his classmates are living a good life in big cities. When they met, they were very moved. Looking back on the days when they studied and played together, they felt that time passed quickly. After so many years, everyone has been far away from each other.

Lin's words made Jie Chen think that because of Lin's different living environment, he had a psychological gap and felt uncomfortable.But Benefactor Lin said that this is not true. In fact, his classmates who have gone to other places also envy him, because although life in a small town is ordinary, there is no fatigue of running around, and there are not too many calculations.Benefactor Lin is unwilling because he feels that life is too monotonous. Sometimes he thinks, what would life be like if he went to other places like his classmates?Will it be exciting? At that moment, Jie Chen was also disturbed by Lin Benefactor's thoughts.Jiechen feels that life seems to be a tangled process, many things are a kind of regret, just like if Jiechen did not become a monk back then, what would life be like today?Will it be a completely unexpected life?Of course, Jiechen will never know the answer to this question, or in fact, there will be no answer at all.

When the weather got hotter, the hydrangea that Lin benefactor gave to Master Zhiyuan bloomed. Jie Chen’s method of searching on the Internet was indeed correct. The original red hydrangea really bloomed blue this time. When watering the hydrangeas, Jie Chen suddenly thought, in fact, when it comes to raising this pot of hydrangea, Jie Chen also faced a choice, red or blue, in fact, two colors that cannot have both. The same is true of life, it is a process of moving forward in entanglement.When we choose to go left, then we are destined to lose the life on the right; when we decide to go forward, the present self will become the former self.Maybe we also have to choose a color that belongs to us like hydrangea, and then bloom like that without complaint or regret.
