Sweet Garden Bliss

Ah Yuan does not know medical skills, but knows that the reason why poppies make people "turn pale" is because they are addictive, and the reason why they are addicted is because drugs can bring people supreme happiness and dissolve all physical and mental pain one by one. , until sinking into a more painful abyss——

However, Li Wei's father is already on the verge of the most painful, the end of his life, I am afraid that there will be no chance of becoming addicted.

"Sister Wei, I want to make some cigarettes for Mr. Li. They are light—good to smoke—and people like—" Ah Yuan couldn't elaborate on her plan. If she could, she didn't even want to mention the word "smoke" .

Li Wei's narration is still in my ears: "The doctor used many methods, and boiled Mabosan, but the old man refused to drink the bitter medicine. He said that if you die, you will die. You can't walk in a daze. You have to wake up until the end— —".

A Yuan hugged a handful of tobacco leaves, tears streaming all the way, no one knew what this woman who was sobbing silently had experienced, an unspeakable sadness wrapped her heart tightly, every beat was unbearably painful. Self-restraint.

Life is such a fragile thing, no matter how lively an individual is, it is as humble and lowly as an ant. When a strong wind blows, life will rise up like dust, and when it is thrown away, it is no longer known where it is. Come, life is crushed into mud, too late to call for help, too late to sigh——

"Chengguang--I want to go home--", the tearful woman was holding a handful of tobacco leaves and looking at the man behind the counter, her eyes were definitely more touching than Ah Fu's "dog eyes".

Boss Bai was in a hurry, and wiped his daughter-in-law's tearful eyes with a big cattail fan.How could it be so embarrassing to smear all over the face with flour and then knead it into batter?

"What's the matter?" Boss Bai dragged his wife to the backyard, picked up a wet cloth to wipe his face, and was very worried.

"It's—Sister Wei's father—it's too late!" Ah Yuan's face was cold, and she became more sober, and grabbed Boss Bai's arm: "Chengguang, I have to go home now. Do something for me. Sister Wei - ".

"Then I'll see you off!" Boss Bai continued to keep his characteristic of not asking questions, immediately pulled off his apron and went into the shop.

But the shop is so busy, Bai Laosan can't handle it alone, and that Ah Fu is a useless dumb gourd.Master who can break even a bowl!

Ah Yuan raised his voice and shouted: "You don't need to send it, I just walk home by myself!"

In fact, no matter how sad the feeling is, only the person involved can experience it, and Ah Yuan is just making love for her friend by taking advantage of the situation.And Boss Bai, in fact, has nothing to do with this sadness at all.

Every minute of every day.Some people are welcoming death, some people are heartbroken, but flowers will still bloom and fall, and others who have nothing to do with themselves will continue to struggle to survive, or talk and laugh——

Mr. Li's illness really has nothing to do with Boss Bai.But Ah Yuan's feelings are closely related to Boss Bai.

He absolutely refused to let his wife go on the road alone again.What's more, she cried like a third mother of tears, feeling wronged like a child.

This is what the saying goes, "emphasize sex over friends". Of course, the woman who is being abused now has lost her color from crying.

The bullock cart moved slowly, with Bai Laosan's infinite sorrow, he will bear the main work of the ramen restaurant alone, and he will have to use his two legs to walk back to the confused formation after hard work.

Fortunately, there is Ah Fu by his side, although he never speaks, but as long as those big wet eyes look at him, everything feels meaningful.

It doesn't matter if the sister-in-law is gone, but with that wolf-like gaze, the third child is really afraid that he will eat Ah Fu.

Many times, when one person is kind to another person for no reason, it is really kind.

The atmosphere on the ox cart was still very solemn, Ah Yuan no longer shed tears, but she didn't want to talk with a happy expression. Boss Bai had a dull temperament, so naturally, he could only exchange a few words with the big ox.

At the entrance of the town, I saw the figure of the white-clothed scholar again, stupidly, with no focus in his eyes.

There are sad people everywhere, sentimental feelings are always blown away by the rain and wind, there is even a trace of pity in Ah Yuan's mind, if it wasn't for the sudden turmoil in the scholar's eyes, when meeting Ah Yuan's gaze——

Could it be that this little boy was waiting at the entrance of the town just to capture the heart of an ignorant woman?Moreover, he was so cold-hearted that he even wanted to piss off this wrinkled and pale woman with a crying face?

A Yuan glared at the scholar fiercely, the bullock cart went far away——

The white-clothed scholar looked a bit embarrassed. After watching the bullock cart far away, he finally turned around and walked slowly away from the entrance of the town. The noon sun was shining directly on him. His shadow was extremely short, like a shrunken man. Hope and thoughts.

A man of this age still can't see clearly about emotional matters, he didn't keep him when he should stay, and he is reluctant to be decisive when he should be decisive.

Love is like a poppy flower, beautiful and gorgeous, swaying and full of enchanting abilities, once you feel it, you can't stop it, knowing that you can't get close, but you pursue it from afar——

All of Ah Yuan's body and mind, at this moment, was devoted to this pot of poppies.

After several days of careful care, the seed-bearing poppy has matured. The fruit is slightly smaller than an egg. The type is a bit like a small pomegranate upside down. It has a hard shell and many small and thin seeds in the peel.

It is said that traditional Chinese medicine uses opium poppy shells as medicine, and the prescription is also called "imperial rice shell" or "poppy shell".Harvest after "cutting tobacco" in summer, remove the stalks and seeds, dry in the sun and fry with vinegar or broil with honey for later use.The poppy shell is flat, sour and toxic, and contains more than 30 alkaloids such as morphine, codeine, narcotine, papaverine, etc., which can relieve pain and relieve cough——

It is said that the leaves and rhizomes of poppy can also be dried and crushed to make smoke, which can anesthetize people's nerves——

Ah Yuan is not a drug addict, and in her previous life, it was impossible for her to have access to the process of making cigarettes with poison. She really doesn't know where to pick these things and how to mix them in cigarettes.

However, subconsciously, her hands were still so nimble, uprooting the entire poppy plant, and every branch and leaf was torn apart from the mother body, and it was spread out in pieces on the millstone.

A precious poppy flower given by the owner of Nian Ren Tang ended its short life like this, although this flower has miraculously extended its life into autumn.

"Daughter-in-law, you—" Boss Bai couldn't help sighing when he saw Ah Yuan's "destroying flowers with hot hands". All torn to pieces.

He didn't know that what Ah Yuan was looking forward to at this moment was that the branches and leaves would dry up quickly, and then quickly——

Li Wei is still enduring the suffering of witnessing her father's pain. As a friend, what can be done to alleviate her grief and hopelessness?

The happiest thing is to accompany each other for a long time with relatives, but the most fearful thing is the process of slowly becoming far away from the people you care about. It really hurts from the heart.

Ah Yuan was sitting next to the millstone, turning the still green and dazzling branches and leaves from time to time. The late autumn sunshine was already as light as a glass of warm water. If this continues, even if it lasts for three or four days, it may not be able to make tobacco dry and loose. .

Boss Bai guarded his wife and ignored other trivial matters. Cailian and Li Zhuzi walked lightly, not daring to interrupt their thoughts easily.

Until Bai Laosan came home and asked about the ingredients of A Yuan's marinated eggs: "Sister-in-law, the eggs are selling fast in the store, we have to cook some more, what do you say, I will cook."

"What to put? Prickly ash, aniseed ingredients, leaves of wild vegetables—fried leaves of wild vegetables—" Ah Yuan murmured, how could she have forgotten, if they can’t be dried in the sun, they can be stir-fried on a dry pan——

A small fire was lit in the stove, and the iron pot burned dry. With trembling fingers, Ah Yuan scattered the poppy branches and leaves, smashed poppy shells, and poppy seeds as small as sesame seeds into the iron pot.

The tender white hands make frying spoons, passing over the bottom of the pot again and again, grabbing the roasted seeds and nuts, then spilling them, and then grabbing——

Ah Yuan insisted on doing it by herself, she didn't want the relatives of the Bai family to have the opportunity to touch the poppies, so Boss Bai could only squat next to the stove, carefully guarding the weak flame.

A strange fragrance still curled up above the stove, and it circled around, covering the entire small courtyard of the Bai family.

Ah Yuan's fingers had been transformed into mechanical movements. They were hot and red, but they didn't feel any pain.

In her heart, there was a surge of joy, her whole body was warm, every cell screamed "comfortable", even, her feet were light, like riding on clouds——

"Daughter-in-law-you are so kind-so beautiful-".

Boss Bai was talking softly, she couldn't hear clearly at all, she just felt that the joy was too full, the world was so beautiful——

"Sister-in-law, what kind of food do you cook? Why is it so delicious?" Little Arwen rushed into the kitchen. Recently, he was late after school and always stayed at Mr. Cai's place to read and ask questions. All the knowledge is mastered in your own mind!

As the cool air poured into his brain, Ah Yuan regained his sanity, and weakly hugged Ah Wen's head that was poking into the cauldron, and said lightly: "Quick! Put out the fire in the stove—call for someone— Help your elder brother—get out—don’t—don’t even—move—what’s in the pot—”

In front of her eyes was the gorgeous sun again, her body soared lightly again, her mind left her body, and her soul wanted to laugh happily. Ah Yuan leaned on Ah Wen's body reluctantly, as if, uttered another sentence: "Ah! Wen - so cute - what - ".

What kind of turmoil the Bai family is in, the two most authoritative heads of the Bai family will never know, and how little Awen cried and called his second brother, third brother and sister, so erratically, so far away—

This fragrance is so alluring, how can mere mortals be able to bear it? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
