Chapter 344: the charm of art is amazing
By the time they got home, xie fangfei, jiang's daughter-in-law, who had been busy helping them prepare for the dinner, came out wearing an apron and saw her mother-in-law and little sister-in-law carrying a large pile of flowers and plants into the house from the car. She smiled and came to help, "Today, we are going to the flower and bird market to clean up."
"Yes, we've been mopping all afternoon. We haven't finished yet. We'll continue next time." Li Haitang smiled and handed her a large bundle of lilies, which were in full bloom and pleasant fragrance, and introduced, "I brought a large bunch for all the families. You can share them later."
"White lily, I like it. It smells good." Xie Fangfei hugged her and sniffed. The pleasant fragrance was intoxicating.
A few of them were here unloading flower vases and waiting. Duoduo had already taken her new pet parrot to look for her uncle and chattered to him like a parrot.
Jiang Chuyan loved his niece so much that he held her on his lap and patiently listened to her tell interesting stories about children. As for the little parrot that loved to bark, he chose to ignore it directly.
The two little parrots were probably in a new environment and were not used to it. They kept barking and their voices were a little shrill, which made Jiang Chuheng's head ache. "An' an, Duoduo, put your little parrots outside to get some fresh air and go outside with the other brothers and sisters to play with them."
An' an had been playing with the small cage all afternoon, teaching the parrot to talk, but the little parrot didn't care about him, instead it kept barking. He was a little impatient and asked curiously, "Dad, that shop owner uncle said that the little parrot can talk, but he didn't say that we were deceived by him."
Parrots can talk, but they need to be taught patiently. Just like a child, when he was young, he could not speak. He needed the patient guidance of an adult to slowly babble. You just bought it back for half a day. It's too short. It hasn't learned how to speak yet. In the future, talk to it more and play the radio to it more. It will soon learn."
"Oh, how long will that take?" An' an perked up again.
"Well... Dad doesn't know, and I haven't raised it either. Go ask grandpa liu next door. He likes to keep birds. He seems to have kept a parrot. If he has experience, ask him to teach you two." Jiang Chuheng didn't like to keep animals. He was completely uninterested in them and never knew anything about them.
"Okay."
"Go, take Duoduo out, take the parrot out, and let the grownups talk in the room." Jiang Chuheng now regretted buying them these two birds. He had two birds at home, so he probably wouldn't have a quiet life in the future.
When they went out, Jiang Chuheng took a deep breath and gulped down the tea that was about to cool down.
"Hehe..." Li Haitang, who was fiddling with the flowers, laughed and looked at him, "I didn't agree to buy this parrot before. It was too noisy. You spoiled them and bought two at a time. Now, I can't stand it for half a day."
"When their novelty is over, send them away." Jiang Chuheng had already made a decision.
Chu Hongmei smiled, "Bring it here later. Parrots are very spiritual. It's fun to keep them well. Old he's got one, but it's so cute. It says a lot of things, and sometimes it's funny."
"Okay." Anywhere, as long as you don't stay at home, Jiang Chuheng thought.
Not long after, Jiang Chuqi and Chu Xiaoman arrived at the same time. As soon as they entered the room, they saw a pile of fresh flowers half the height of a person on the coffee table, and there were many empty vases beside them. They also smiled and said, "I went to the flower and bird market today to do wholesale flowers."
I wanted to buy some special and new potted plants, but I couldn't stop shopping. I accidentally bought so many. Come over and help me, put the flowers in the vase, and bring back a bottle or two later." Chu Hongmei liked to take care of these things, so he didn't feel tired after working at home all day when he was free. But it was a little late today, and dinner was about to start soon, so he had to call his daughter and niece to help him.
The little girl, Gao Yawen, also liked beautiful flowers. She pointed at the phalaenopsis on the side and smiled, "Grandma, this pot of phalaenopsis is so beautiful."
"This pot of flowers is beautiful. The price is so high that grandma can't bear to buy them. Your little aunt bought five pots, one for each family, and the other four pots are still there." Chu Hongmei pointed to the corner behind the door. Although she was scolding Li Haitang, the bright smile on her face showed that she was very happy.
Gao Yawen turned around and jumped at him with joy. "Wow, it's so beautiful. Mom, I like this blue one."
"If you like the blue one, then you can discuss it with your three aunts and aunts and ask them to give the blue one to our house." Jiang Chuqi also looked back and saw that the blue butterfly orchid was indeed very outstanding. It bloomed especially vigorously and was the most dazzling of the four pots.
Li Haitang clapped, "The blue butterfly orchid has returned to wen wen."
"Thank you, auntie." After getting what he liked, Gao Yawen couldn't bear to let go of the vase.
"Wenwen, put down the butterfly orchid and come over to learn how to arrange flowers." Jiang Chuqi was usually very busy with work, and did not have much leisure to do this elegant thing. Today, it was rare for the whole family to gather together to arrange flowers, so naturally, he called his daughter over to study.
"You still have to learn how to arrange flowers? Don't you just put the flowers in the vase and water them?" The little girl was a little confused, but she came over obediently.
"Flower arrangement is an art. Just like your grandfather's favorite photography, it seems simple on the surface. If you study it in detail, you will find the artistic charm is wonderful." Jiang Chuqi was a woman of science and engineering, and dealing with computer code every day did not mean that she did not love life and art, and knew more or less about these things.
Seeing that her daughter seemed to be confused, she took a beautiful vase, picked out a few of the flowers and put them together. She also adjusted the shape and asked her daughter with a smile, "Is it nice?"
"Nice." Gao Yawen nodded.
Jiang Chuqi picked two or three more flowers and put them in the vase. He adjusted the order of the flowers and changed the shape. "How about this?"
"It looks good too."
Gao Yawen understood a little and immediately took a small vase and began to operate it. The little girl was quite talented in this aspect. She quickly put together a bouquet of flowers that she was satisfied with and asked tentatively, "Mom, is this okay?"
"Yes, it's beautiful." Jiang Chuqi praised her and pointed out a flaw. He picked a green plant from the pile of flowers and put it in. "It would be better to add one. It wouldn't look so single."
The little girl understood and immediately began to stir up the second work.
The women gathered around and fiddled with the flowers they liked, while the men sat by and chatted about their work over tea until the kitchen informed them that dinner was ready.
