Chapter 368
Chapter 368
When Arbor Day actually came, the weather was already warm.
Daisy wrapped some of the cores of the fruits she usually ate and saved in paper, saved a lot, and took them to the woods outside the villa to spread them.
This planting method is different from the careful planting of daisies with my father, and regular watering. It is completely wild.
"Don't underestimate the vitality of nature." Tony said, "Even a leaf can take root in the soil."
"Really?" Daisy was very surprised.
"Some can." Tony said.
Baby Daisy very much hopes that a fruit tree will grow in front of the house in the coming year, so that even if he does not go out to shop or order from the farm, he can still eat fruit anytime and anywhere.
This beautiful wish was not realized in the second year.
But she doesn't know now, so she still has full enthusiasm and hope when planting seeds.
"Speaking of planting trees." Watching his daughter planting trees, the old father, who planned to sit back and enjoy the benefits, walked slowly beside him, letting Daisy bend down from time to time to look at the small flowers quietly growing under the trees while planting the seeds. With moderate rain, the moist soil exudes a unique fresh smell, which is very pleasant to smell.
Tony watched his daughter planting seeds, and thought of something, took out his mobile phone in his pocket, clicked on "Banner" in the address book, and thought, "Banner invited us out for dinner two days ago."
Dr. Banner is now a semi-reclusive hermit. Although he used to be like this, but he did it out of necessity. Now he lives away from the eyes of the world, and he enjoys it a little bit.
Judging by the messages he sent from time to time, Hulk doesn't often come out to make trouble.
"Want to eat together?" Daisy asked.
"Do you want to?" Tony shook the phone in front of his daughter.
On the screen of the mobile phone, Bruce Banner's old-fashioned selfie smiles very brightly.
Banner once even sent Tony a selfie of the Hulk.
It is rare for Hulk to not get angry and mess around, he pinches the small mobile phone with his big fingers, and probably occasionally, like a smart person, he wants to study what Banner usually looks at on electronic devices, fiddle with it for a while, The shutter was touched, and a big face of doubt was revealed.
Then Banner's phone died and he had to save up to buy a new one.
Compared with Thor, who eats and drinks for nothing every time he comes to Earth, Dr. Banner's self-reliance really moved Tony.
"Yes." Daisy said.
She wanted to see Banner, and she also wanted to see Hulk, and then she thought that if she went to the beach house, she could still see Ian the little mermaid, and she became very excited.
"No." But Tony said, "We're not going to the beach this time."
He looked at the message that Benner replied on his mobile phone, "He is doing volunteer work."
As the commercial center of the United States, New York is undoubtedly a big city.Although Tony has lived in New York for a long time, when Happy drove the car, turning between many small roads and small roads, and finally passed through the dense green shadows and arrived at the orphanage Banner mentioned, he had to sigh with emotion. There is no way to go through all the color blocks on the map without missing anything.
This is a very small orphanage, located between trees, far away from the city, surrounded by some residential buildings, very quiet and not lively.
Although it is not lively, it is very lively. The houses are colorfully decorated, and flowers are planted in front of the house, which bloom just right.
The luxury car Tony was sitting in was a bit conspicuous in this place.
Happy didn't stop at the entrance of the orphanage. According to what he told Banner in advance, he stopped at the entrance of a small restaurant not far from the orphanage.
Daisy got out of the car and immediately saw Dr. Banner running over while wiping his sweat.
I haven't seen him for many days, but he doesn't look like a doctor at all now, he is wearing ordinary clothes for doing rough work, the sun is shining today, and he has a sun hat on his head.
"When did you switch careers to be a farmer?" Tony asked, "Or instead of being a physicist, you're going to be a biologist."
"Maybe I already have one?" Banner said with a smile, "I have seven degrees."
He ran forward, lifted Daisy up, and hugged her high: "It's growing so fast! It's heavy again!"
"You can only say this until she is 14 years old." Tony said, "After 14 years old, if you say that a lady is heavy with a smile on your face, I'm afraid you will get punched."
"Go in." Banner put down Daisy and helped to open the door of the restaurant.
He also made a "ladies first" gesture to Baby Daisy, signaling her to go first.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but Banner seems to be much more cheerful.
"I'm here to plant some trees for the children here." Banner sat down and said, "They want to plant fruit trees in the garden. I have checked that the soil fertility is not enough, but at least they can grow."
"How many kids?" Tony asked.
"More than 20." Banner said, "There is no shortage of funds, and there are few people here. They are a little afraid of strangers from outside, but they are familiar with each other and like to listen to stories from outside."
He opened the menu and showed Daisy what to eat.
"How long have you been here?" Tony asked again.
"About a week." Banner said, "I'll be back in two days."
He looked at the two big men, Tony and Happy, as if looking at two ready-made laborers, and suggested: "There are still a few saplings."
Before Tony and Happy said anything, Daisy raised her hand and wanted to plant trees with Banner.
She heard that there are many children in the orphanage, and she is willing to play with them.
Lunch time is equal to gossip time. It doesn't matter what you eat. Adults always use the meal time to talk about what they have been doing recently and what they will do next.
Only Daisy and Happy were absorbed in enjoying the delicious food.
Daisy scooped her father's pudding into her bowl without her father noticing.
"Hulk stopped making trouble?" Tony asked.
"He's very friendly now." When Banner mentioned Hulk, he wasn't as repulsive as before, and he wasn't angry because of all the reckless and stupid things Hulk did. He just talked about some ridiculous details, and he still wanted to help him. "It's just sometimes clamoring to go to New Asgard to see Thor. Do you know how to get to New Asgard?"
"I know." Tony pointed to the top with his finger, "You go to heaven."
"Next time Hulk comes out, I will ask him to try." Banner readily accepted, "If he doesn't succeed, there will be no reason to bother me next time, because neither I nor he can go to Xin'a Sgard."
"What if he succeeds?" Tony asked.
As he said, he lowered his head to take a bite of pudding, but suddenly found that the bowl was more than half empty.
And the thief who stole the rice pudding was still not satisfied, he was stretching out his spoon, and quietly wanted to scoop some more into the old father's bowl, but he was caught right away.
Happy winked at Daisy from the side, but it was too late, the little hand was already caught by Tony.
"I told you not to be greedy." Happy shook his head repeatedly.
"Is the pudding delicious?" Tony asked.
"It's delicious, Dad." Daisy was not afraid of being caught, and smiled with her big eyes bent, "You eat too."
Tony looked at the pudding, then at his daughter, and finally chose to push the pudding bowl in front of Daisy, telling her to enjoy it.
"If it's not enough," Tony said.
After lunch, the three followed Banner and walked slowly to the orphanage.
"There is no class today, everyone is playing inside." Banner said, "There are a few who are already grown up, and they are allowed to go out, and they all go shopping outside."
"Did you know that they usually make their own handicrafts and sell pocket money online?" He said, "It's amazing."
Daisy can also sell soda for pocket money.
Although after she experienced life last time, the father used the reason that there was still a little savings at home, so that Daisy didn't have to work so hard, and she didn't have to go out to sell soda anymore.
The size of the orphanage is not large, but it occupies a large area.
It was said that it was rebuilt from a closed school before. When a group of people walked in, the children who were still running stopped suddenly.
There are big and small ones, hiding shyly and secretly watching the strangers brought by Banner.
When they found Daisy, they were overjoyed at first, then a little sad, and asked each other, "Are you new here?"
Happy heard it, waved his hand and explained: "This is Mr. Stark, this is Mr. Stark's daughter."
The children were a little disappointed, but then they became happy again, with a little envy in their happiness.
This place is too out of the way, and few people take the initiative to adopt children unless they have the heart.
Daisy wanted to play with the children, but the children hid, so she had to follow Banner to plant trees first.
Planting trees is a technical job, and a bad waist is not enough.
Happy's waist is okay, but he doesn't exercise enough at ordinary times, so he needs to rest for a while when he digs a small hole.
Daisy took the water bottle and watered the planted saplings.
I hope that after the change of seasons, lush green shadows will grow.
The four of them worked hard for a long time.
Dr. Banner's hands are for research and must be used to control the most precise variables, but he himself is willing to use his research hands to do rough work.
"Come on." Banner said, "Haven't Hulk done enough rough work with my hands? How many cars have been moved with bare hands during the fight."
When things were finally done, Daisy and Banner sat down on the steps of the corridor to rest.
Banner took off his hat and used it as a cushion for Daisy.
Tony and Happy went to find water.
"Tired?" Banner asked Daisy.
Daisy shook her head: "I'm not tired."
"My hands are tired, but my heart is happy." Banner said, "Look at these children."
The children who were used to strangers ran out to play again, went to see the planted saplings, talked and laughed.
"Uncle doesn't need money for doing good deeds." Daisy said.
"No." Banner said, "Money is very good, but sometimes it is not necessary."
Tony came back with water.
He handed the cold soda can to Banner, sat next to Banner, raised his head and took a sip of his drink: "I thought you didn't like children as much as I imagined."
"It's not that I don't like it." Banner said, "If there are too many children making noise, I will feel annoyed-it's not good to mess with Hulk."
"Once Hulk is quiet, like now, it's good to watch the children play." A little longing appeared on Banner's face, and there was tenderness in his eyes when he saw the smile on the children's faces.
"I'm never going to have kids in my life," Banner said. "There are a lot of people out there who don't want their kids."
"I hope that the children here will grow like young trees." Banna said softly, looking at the children with his chin lifted.
Daisy listened to the adults talking, felt a light pat on the shoulder, and looked back, it was a child about her own age.
The child holds an apple in his hand.
Daisy held out her hand, and the apple rolled into her hand.
The dumpling happily took a bite.
There was a "click", so crisp.
