Chapter 842 Black and red top-class scheming stepsister (28)

   Xu Yin rarely pays attention to campus forums.

   A few small worlds from the old era are worn down, and I really can’t think of mobile phones.

  Besides answering the phone or shopping online or looking up some information, I always forget its existence.

  But it is also because of this that she can concentrate on studying without distractions.

   In a blink of an eye, the semester is coming to an end again.

  After a semester of systematic study, she has gained a lot in garden landscape design, and the progress of her home yard is the best proof—

  Open the gate of the courtyard covered with white bougainvillea, facing a hand-built floating fish pond, with gurgling water flowing from the gaps between the scattered natural stones, bringing a bit of vitality to the courtyard.

  A circle of moisture-loving spices of different heights is planted around the fish pond. The tall ones include lemongrass, ageratum, and calamus, and the short ones include Polygonum, kaempferen, and wild mint.

  In the fish pond, there are also a few water lilies in full bloom, and a few high-quality koi, swimming and playing among the lotus leaves, forming a miniature Chinese-style waterscape with flowing water and green plants.

On the west side of the fish pond is a natural bluestone road leading to the indoors. On the east side of the stone road is a small piece of green lawn. The east courtyard wall is shared with the old lady’s house next door. The old lady’s house has planted many flowers, some of which have even climbed up. On the wall, Xu Yin simply planted a clump of purple bamboo, and instead of planting it directly in the ground, he made a purple bamboo bonsai in a large ceramic jar with a round mouth and big belly. Lest it grow larger and affect the foundation of the house.

  There are several pots of beautiful cherry blossoms and summer viburnum in full bloom on both sides of the courtyard gate.

  To the west of the fish pond, a rest platform is built, with anti-corrosion solid wood tea tables and small stone benches. In winter, you can drink tea and bask in the sun, and in summer you can enjoy the coolness and watch the stars.

  The rest platform is past, connected to the side yard, and there are groups of spice bonsai arranged in a patchwork pattern. There are more precious varieties, and there are also common but beautiful flowering varieties.

  The bonsai pots are all custom-made by her own painting styles, some are round and bellyy, some are exquisite and exquisite; some are colorful, and some are plain and simple. Each pot corresponds to a kind of spice, which is unique and cannot be found in the outside market.

  The backyard is mainly a tree species and spice area. The spice trees that were planned at the beginning were transplanted, but she was not satisfied with the saplings found outside, so she simply replaced them with the stock in the system warehouse.

  After soaking in the spiritual mist, these saplings were transplanted very smoothly. Within ten days of planting, new shoots emerged, and the growth was quite gratifying.

  The backyard is against the corner of the wall, and a cute log-colored bird house is built. It is mainly for decoration, and raising birds has not been considered yet.

   But unexpectedly, the second week after the bird house was built, she went home and found two more birds in the yard.

  I didn’t recognize the specific species, but looking at their bright feathers and beautiful beaks, I always feel that they don’t look like wild birds in nature, and most of them are domesticated.

  But the two birds seem to have approved of her family’s bird house, and they stayed here without leaving. After driving away, they flew back again.

  Peck the leaves of the spice tree or the grass seeds in the bonsai to eat every day. If this continues, the newly planted trees and grass in the yard will not be bald.

  Xu Yin couldn't laugh or cry, so she had to spend 500 energy points to exchange for a bird food formula, made a can of nutritious bird food, and fed them regularly every day. When she went to school, she asked Dad Xu to feed her once when she came home.

   Fortunately, these two birds seem to know that they can’t defecate casually, and the bird feces are concentrated on the ground opposite the bird house.

   This made her more convinced that the two birds were domesticated. She poked into the owner group and sent a message, asking who lost the bird.

  For the time being, no one came to claim it, so she put a clay pot on the ground under the bird house, and the bird feces fell into the pot accurately.

  Beside the building wall in the side yard, two sweet mahogany trees were planted.

  It belongs to the Rosaceae family and has a strong ability to climb vines. It was planted this spring, and it must have climbed to the third floor next spring. The bright and beautiful flowers poured down from the heights with the plants, forming a beautiful waterfall of flowers.

  And the special feature of this flower is that the flowers are bright and strong, but the fragrance is fresh and elegant. The combination of blooming red flowers and emerald green branches and leaves gives people the warmth and romance of the quiet years.

  Xu Yin used this flower to concoct a fragrance with beautiful color and elegant fragrance. It has always been one of the best in the fragrance industry with both appearance (beautiful) and skill (climbing vines).

  To the north of the east courtyard wall, a plant of black pepper and a plant of green pepper are planted.

  Black pepper can climb walls, and green pepper is a shrub with thorns, so it is planted in the corner.

  To the south of them, a group of pergolas was installed and two gourds were planted.

  It can be eaten as a dish when it is tender, and can be made into a container of spices when it is old.

   From the front yard to the back yard, it is not all lawn.

  Natural bluestone slabs are laid in it, and the shoes will not be dirty even in rainy days.

  On both sides of the stone slab, a group of bonsai is arranged from time to time. Walking slowly, there are scenery along the way.

  Xu Yin spent four months arranging the courtyard as she wanted bit by bit while completing her studies.

  When the final design drawing was handed over to Professor He, he got his approval. He not only praised her for being spiritual, but also gave her an additional task:

   "A friend asked me to help. You can also take a copy to practice. I will hand over your design drafts to him and let him choose by himself."

  Professor He has brought five graduate students. Generally, if an acquaintance comes to him for help, as long as time permits, he will let the students participate in the practice.

  Of course, if the acquaintance is not satisfied with the plan designed by the student, then there is no one else to help him.

  If the other party takes a fancy to the design proposal of one of the students, Professor He will transfer it to the student after the design payment arrives.

  This is also the reason why college student A is still willing to choose Professor He as a graduate tutor even though he is afraid of Professor He's rigidity and sternness.

   It stands to reason that Xu Yin is only a sophomore undergraduate, and her major is not landscape design. This is only her second major. She has just started a minor this semester, so she is not eligible to participate in graduate projects.

  But I can’t help that Professor He likes her hard work and the novelty and creativity in her design drawings. It’s just an opportunity, and it’s up to her to catch it.

  Although Xu Yin was a little surprised, but according to the professor, there were quite a few people involved. She is a novice in the field of landscape design, at best she just went to practice.

   "Thank you teacher, I will try my best to finish it!"

   One dares to give, the other dares to accept!

   But apart from Professor He and Xu Yin himself, no third person knows about it.

  Xu Yin made room for the end-of-term review and exam preparation, started the scene simulation before going to bed, raced against time to complete the design draft, handed it over to Professor He, and then didn't care about it anymore.

Until the end of the final exam, the long-awaited summer vacation came, and the students discussed where to go, but Xu Yin still went to the restaurant to help Xu's father with a bag of books on her back like during the winter vacation. Professor He called and asked her bank card number.

  The design drawing she handed in was favored by his friend. Although it was handled a little immaturely in some places, it was still innovative. Professor He slightly revised and polished it, and it turned out to be a satisfactory work.
