Huge crowd

Chapter 31

Yingcheng early autumn.

"Jilei Library" is shaded by climbing vine roses hanging from the blue-tiled roof in the warm morning sun. The library is quiet, and guests in twos and threes are reading leisurely.Suddenly, the glass door made a crisp and pleasant knocking sound of the doorshield wind chime. The light blue ceramic wind chime was modeled on a paper airplane, and the four letters "luna" written in children's handwriting were written on the wings.

Gu Yuxie was trimming potted plants in the library, when he heard the sound, he looked up at the person who came, and said in surprise, "Teacher Tong?!"

The person who came was none other than Tong Qian, a psychologist who treated Chunlai with Lao Yu back then.

Tong Qian gave Gu Yuxie a gentle smile, and the two sat down in the corner of the library.

Gu Yuxie made her a cup of rose tea: "Why are you free to come over today?"

"Don't be too busy, we are all acquaintances." Tong Qian sat down with Gu Yuxie, "Is Chunlai okay?"

Gu Yuxie: "It's very good, I really have to thank you for this. A while ago when Spring came, I said I hadn't seen you for a long time and that I missed you."

Tong Qian pushed her glasses and lowered her head with a smile: "You're welcome, Mr. Yu and I have been friends for many years. It's nothing. It's better than anything else to see Chunlai get better. The greatest sense of accomplishment for us in this business Right here."

"Yes," Gu Yuxie nodded, "It's a pity that Chunlai is still at school today, Mr. Tong, you should tell me earlier, let's make an appointment and I will pick him up and have a good reunion with you."

Tong Qian: "It doesn't matter, it's okay to see Chunlai again next time. To tell you the truth, Xiao Gu, I came today because I actually want to ask you for help."

Gu Yuxie: "Anything else? Just tell me, I'll do my best to help if I can."

"That's it," Tong Qian took out a document from her carry-on bag and handed it to him, "Our treatment center has recently cooperated with the Psychology Department of Yingcheng Medical College on a 'horticultural therapy' project, and we are looking for a suitable healing The garden assisted us in the implementation, and the time was limited. We hesitated to build a garden or find a ready-made garden for reconstruction and chose the latter, so I recommended Yunyun Garden to them, but this requires your support.”

Gu Yuxie: "No problem, tell me how you need my cooperation."

"Generally speaking, part of the landscape design needs to be remodeled to match the functions of different plants, centering on the core of 'emotion', through sensory contact to stimulate changes in nerves, hormones, muscles and memory to cause emotional and social responses, we then cooperate with a series of planting, Creative and cooperative game sharing etc. for psychotherapy.”

……

"Healing garden? Why does it sound a bit mysterious?!"

In the evening, Gu Yuxie was preparing dinner at Lu Zheng's house, and mentioned this to him, but Lu Zheng expressed confusion.

Gu Yuxie explained to him while chopping vegetables: "It is a garden that has a positive impact on human mental activity and emotional health. The more famous one is TheRHSFeelGoodGarden at the Chelsea Flower Show in the UK. Teacher Tong and the others want to share with the gardeners in the local nursing home. The elderly and some patients with emotional disorders who participated in the experiment completed a project of 'horticultural therapy', which required us to remodel part of the garden area according to psychological requirements to assist them in completing it."

Lu Zheng walked into the kitchen holding a bowl of peanuts, waiting to be fed. Gu Yuxie picked out a piece of duck tongue from the freshly marinated duck tongue and stuffed it into his mouth, asking, "How does it taste?"

"Taste it yourself." Lu Zheng leaned over and fed half of the duck tongue into Gu Yuxie's mouth, giving a delicious "tongue kiss". Gu Yuxie had nothing to do with him, and pushed him back, " You are really... telling you the right thing!"

"Then you continue to talk." Lu was leaning against the cooking table and continuing to steal leftovers.

"Horticultural therapy needs to rely on the layout of different plants and landscape arrangements to mobilize people's senses of sight, taste, hearing, smell and touch, and then cooperate with professional psychotherapy. I am going to remodel the herb garden on the north side of the garden. Look," Gu Yu said. Xie took out a chopstick and dipped it in water, and drew a picture with the water stains on the cooking table, "I'm going to rearrange this piece, and pave an '8'-shaped cobblestone walkway in the landscape, for the elderly to walk and massage, and here The plant area should be re-divided according to color and fragrance, medicinal and aromatic plants should be used, Teacher Tong said that a color psychologist will be invited to guide, and..."

"Yuxie," Lu Zheng interrupted him, "How long will it take to do this?"

Gu Yuxie twirled his chopsticks and thought about it: "Calculating back and forth, it will take half a year."

Lu Zheng put down the plate in his hand, his face suddenly sank.

"The thing I mentioned to you last time, you said that we would think about it after a while when we are free. Now you want to tell me that this year is out of the question, right?"

"..." Gu Yuxie was taken aback for a moment, and when he turned his head, Lu Zheng had already strode out of the kitchen.

Gu Yuxie said in his heart that this is too bad, this cheapskate must be angry again because of the wedding.

After Cai Shaoyuan's incident in the first half of the year, the business of "Zhengfu" was affected, so Lu Zheng simply took a break in Xin Yunyun to recuperate for a while.But the soft rice has not been enough, the aftershocks of the turmoil dissipated completely, Lu Zheng was begged by Lao Yu, and was beaten back to his original form from the fairy days of "sleeping until he wakes up naturally every day, walking dogs and raising flowers". , conscientiously became the president dog of "Zhengfu".However, after returning to the city, Lu Zheng seriously flirted with his parents in Switzerland. After two months of arduous struggle, he finally won them over and promised his father to go abroad to register for marriage as soon as possible.

Gu Yuxie readily moved in with Lu Zheng's family, and he had no objection to the registration of marriage, but he was very resistant to holding a wedding. Lu Zheng was full of joy and looked forward to the fantasy of holding a wedding in Yunyun, which was always rejected by Gu Yuxie. They made excuses and postponed it again and again, and now they caught up with the construction of a "healing garden", which seemed to be going to waste.

Gu Yuxie wiped her hands and followed Lu Zheng out, climbed onto the sofa and snuggled up to Lu Zheng, and asked him softly, "What's wrong with you?"

Lu Zheng was leaning on the armrest of the sofa, turning his head to the side: "You go build a garden, don't bother with me, remember to take me to treatment after you build it, I'm very depressed."

"Hehe, you're still motivated, turn around!" Gu Yuxie held Lu Zheng's face and forcibly turned her head away.

Lu Zheng's face was twisted into twists by Gu Yuxie, his mouth was crooked to the back of his ears and he still didn't forget to ask: "Did you never think about having a wedding with me?"

"Thought about it," Gu Yuxie let go of him, Lu Zheng's facial features returned to their original positions, and asked, "I don't believe it, when?"

"..." Gu Yuxie said, "It's better not to tell you, so as not to expose me..."

"You are really..." Lu Zheng fell back to sleep on the sofa, stretched his long legs and put them on Gu Yuxie's lap, and continued to babble, "Why don't you want to have a wedding? What a wonderful wedding! Flowers are for us Blooming, birds singing for us, relatives and friends all coming to bless us, our wedding in Yunyun will be the best moment of life, why don’t you like it?”

"Haven't you heard enough of the bird calls in Yunyun?" Gu Yuxie smiled, rolled up Lu Zheng's trouser legs and pinched his legs, "Will the flowers in Yunyun not bloom for you someday, which relatives and friends will not bloom for you?" Blessings for you, why do you have to have a formality! Do you still remember what I told you in the grove of the old Yunyun? Weddings are all staged for others to see. Why do we have to cosplay a pair of male monkeys? being surrounded."

Lu Zheng retorted angrily: "I think you just don't want to be criticized and said that our two men are going to have a wedding!"

"Okay, just pretend to be me!" Gu Yuxie took out a soft white cloth from the coffee table drawer and threw it on Lu Zheng's face, then got up and left, "Go ahead and get angry, I'll go cook."

Lu Zheng's face was covered with a white cloth, and when he pulled it off and looked at it, he stopped being angry in an instant.

This is a pure white English-style apron with wooden ears. Lu Zheng bought it and couldn't coax Gu Yuxie to put it on for a long time. Today, the apron himself made the first move!

Lu Zheng jumped up from the sofa, swung his apron and marched towards the high ground of victory.

"Tsk, take it easy!" Gu Yuxie smiled while mixing cold dishes to avoid Lu Zheng's kiss on her neck.

Lu Zheng hugged him from behind, and asked Gu Yuxie in a chaotic and out-of-control breath: "You are not afraid of being gossiped, are you? What is the reason?"

Gu Yuxie didn't speak, and turned his head to meet Lu Zheng's frantic kiss. As his lips collided, he asked with a smile: "I see you are not in a hurry today? Huh?"

"I'm not in a hurry." Lu Zheng grabbed the hem of Gu Yuxie's clothes and lifted it up, and then put on the white apron. Lu Zheng grabbed the folded ear of the apron and slid it off Gu Yuxie's round shoulders. A hickey was drawn on his snow-white shoulder, and he said softly, "Take your time tonight."

……

The "Healing Garden" was officially put into use after half a month of renovation. In the following three months, a group of elderly people suffering from Alzheimer's disease were ushered in a specially designed gaze area. The Aroma Garden helped some The treatment of patients with sleep disorders and post-traumatic disorders, gardening creation courses and the cultivation and breeding of colorful plants provide autistic children with auxiliary training for sustained attention and knowledge and memory.

The psychotherapy team led by Tong Qian has achieved a lot, and Yunyun Garden's "horticultural therapy" has received great attention in the industry.

On New Year's Eve, Lu Zheng and Gu Yuxie were strolling in Yunyun. When they came to the "Healing Garden", they saw an old gentleman sitting on a wooden bench, holding a bunch of purple Ji Xiaoju in his hand.

"Uncle, are you here to accompany your relatives for treatment?" Gu Yuxie stepped forward and asked.

The old man smiled blankly: "Ah? Yes, yes, look at this bouquet of flowers, how beautiful it is, what is it called?"

Gu Yuxie pulled Lu Zheng to sit down with the old man, and said, "This is Ji Xiaoju. It is easy to feed. It has a long flowering period and a large amount of flowers. It is a lazy flower. If you like me, I will have two pots for you in a while." Go back and plant."

"This flower is good! It's the most beautiful!" The old man laughed again, "I and Xiulin are getting married soon, I think this bouquet is the best!"

Gu Yuxie and Lu Zheng were surprised: "Are you getting married?"

"Old Fan! Oh, why did you come here!" An aunt not far away hurriedly looked for her.

Gu Yuxie got up: "You...you are?"

The aunt ran over with small steps and held the old gentleman's hand tightly, and said to Gu Yuxie with a smile on her face: "Sorry, you two, I made you laugh, we were brought by Teacher Tong, my husband is... ..."

The old gentleman interrupted her with a loud voice: "Oh, what are you so anxious about? I am reporting to the leader about my marriage with you. Look, I also picked a bunch of flowers for you. Your favorite purple color Little flower."

Auntie took Ji Xiaoju, raised her hand and rubbed her nose: "You...you still remember this flower."

The old gentleman proudly said: "Of course I remember, you don't like lilies and roses, you just like this kind of small flowers, you hurry up and take them, you need them for wedding photos."

The aunt helped the old man sit down on the wooden chair, then turned to Gu Yuxie and Lu Zheng and said, "Don't mind me, my husband suffered from Alzheimer's three years ago, and he remembers many things upside down."

Gu Yuxie asked: "This flower..."

The aunt smiled: "The bouquet we used when we got married was a kind of purple flower, which was picked at the side of the road. We were poor at that time and couldn't afford roses and lilies, so I lied to him, saying that I didn't like those flowers, I just like this little wild chrysanthemum, this guy, I still remember it until now, hehe..."

Auntie kissed the mottled silver hair of the old man in the sunset, the gentle golden light scattered on the wrinkles, time piled up mountains and rivers, and ran forward all the way, those warm memories that were left behind were forever hidden in the incomplete gully in my mind , never faded away.

After seeing off the two old people, Gu Yuxie squatted in the garden with nothing to do and made a flower pot with Carex palmiferus and dark pansy.Lu Zheng was sitting cross-legged beside him, suddenly raised his head and asked him, "Is it because of mom and dad?"

Gu Yuxie stopped working: "What?"

Lu Zhengdao: "You don't want to hold a wedding, is it because your parents are no longer here?"

"I……"

Lu Zheng pulled him to sit beside him and said, "I said last time that we will get blessings from relatives and friends, but your parents are gone. No matter how beautiful the wedding is, they won't be able to see it. I'm sorry Yuxie."

Gu Yuxie rubbed Lu Zheng's head: "I'm sorry, what the hell you! I don't want to hold a wedding, because my parents didn't do it when they got married, and they have been in love for the rest of their lives. I just don't need these... Lu Zheng , last time you said that holding a wedding at Yunyun would be the most beautiful moment in your life, but I think every day with you in Yunyun is beautiful, just like now."

Lu Zheng held Gu Yuxie's hand tightly, watching the last sunset of the year on the horizon in the garden.

Lu Zheng asked: "The other day you said that you once thought about having a wedding with me. Was it when we pushed the cart through the rose arch? It must be! I never thought you would fall in love with me so early."

"Shut up!" Gu Yuxie blushed suddenly, and turned her head to force Lu Zheng to shut up.
