Ji Fan thought about it, a little distracted, Mr.
Xu's father looked strange-tempered, but the old man who loves flowers and plants should be very gentle in nature, right?
You can sit down for a while, and the other students haven't come yet.Lao Xu pointed to the empty seat next to the dining table, and took a can of carbonated drinks from the refrigerator and gave it to him.Thank you, teacher.Ji Fan nodded and sat a little stiffly.Teacher Xu went directly into the house to get busy, and he was the only one left in the restaurant.After a while, the old man walked out of the back room without squinting, holding a small flower pot in his hand.Hello.Ji Fan whispered.When he saw the real person, he found that the old man was neatly dressed, with tortoiseshell reading glasses on the bridge of his nose, and he had a kind of arrogance unique to high-level intellectuals.Lao Xu said that he was a retired teacher, but looking at this posture, it seemed that it was not just an ordinary middle school teacher The old man nodded coldly, said hello, and then sat down, opened the sealed box under the squeaky nest, and carefully took out a young seedling.The two sat relatively silent for a moment.Seeing that the old man was busy cleaning the surface of the nutrient bowl containing the young seedlings, Ji Fan couldn't help but speak: You are a newly harvested flower seedling, it looks like geraniums?
The old man finally took the time to glance at him: the young man still had some eyesight.I'm a new burgundy angel with a white edge, a good thing.Ji Fan nodded, looked at it for a while, frowned slightly, and said softly: Excuse me, can I touch it?
The old man was a little vigilant: What are you doing?
No, Ji Fan shook his head, it's just that this substrate seems to be right, after you bought it back, did you slow down the seedlings?
Since the last time he encountered the problem of flower pots, he began to realize that in order to solve incurable diseases, special skills alone are not enough, so he specially learned a lot of small knowledge about flower seedling planting.The so-called slow seedlings refer to the receipt of the sealed express delivery of the flower seedlings, open the package, breathe for a period of time, and replenish water or build according to the situation.Hearing the professional language, the old man relaxed a little: no, just put it for about an hour, and the store said that this variety of geraniums does not need to be specially slowed down.I used to buy it at his house, and I never had to slow down the seedlings, and it was always good.As he spoke, the decent old man took out his smartphone and skillfully logged in to a certain Bao Wangwang: Look.It is indeed not recommended to slow down the seedlings for more than an hour.Seeing that this leaf is neither wilted nor yellowed, it can be seen that the state is very good, and it can be potted directly.The old man is a little proud, children, it's not enough to know a little theoretical knowledge.Practical experience is the last word.Having said that, Ji Fan pursed his lips, he always felt that something seemed to be wrong.Returning the phone to the uncle, he insisted: In this case, I won't touch your flowers, I'll touch the soil, okay?
The old man looked confused, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.Thank you.Ji Fan gently put his hand on the substrate in the nutrient bowl, picked up a little bit of crushed soil and rubbed it.The black nutrient soil fell from his slender and white fingertips, lined with tender green stems and leaves, and there was a strange beauty.Seeing that he was silent for a long time, the old man said bluntly: Little comrade, if you don't see a problem, just say it, I won't laugh at you for anything.Planting flowers, you are still young, and it is normal to be inexperienced At this moment, Ji Fan opened his slightly closed eyes, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips: Sure enough.What?
Ji Fan turned his head to look at him, still holding the bit of dirt in his hand: Old man, I seem to have found the reason.
，，，，www.. net,,☆、Chapter 53 What is the reason for gifting?
The old man pushed his glasses and said suspiciously, you talk about it first.The seedling looked firm and moist, as if there was nothing wrong with it, but that's where the problem was.Ji Fan handed him the dirt in his palm.Well?
The old man's eyes widened, turned on the knob of the lamp, and looked closer.If you touch it with your hands, is the substrate wetter than usual?
Really.Ji Fan nodded: Generally speaking, the store will deliberately control the water before delivery, so that when the goods arrive, the substrate will not be too wet, and the seedlings can be potted directly without slowing down.Truly.The old man took out his mobile phone again, flipped to the main interface of this store, and the promotion on it was that direct planting was suitable for novices.However, this encountered another problem, Ji Fan touched the delicate and green seedlings, once the express delivery time is long, the flower seedlings may wilt or yellow because the environment is too dry.While this is not a big deal, for dry-loving plants like geraniums, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.However, those buyers who are not aware of the market, once they see the yellowing and wilting seedlings, are likely to mistakenly think that the seller is shoddy.The old man was looking at the comment area, and slapped his thigh when he heard the words: That's true!
You see, there have been several bad reviews recently that the seedlings are wilting.This group of people really doesn't know how to pretend to understand, and the store is so wronged.Ji Fan glanced at the screen, and there were several bad comments in the comment area, which were very conspicuous.Although the boss desperately explained under the comments, the group of guests still swore that the boss must have filled up the number of bad seedlings that burned the seedlings.There were even people who came back half a month later to add comments, saying that the flower seedlings were really dead.A novice who doesn't know how to plant at all and works behind closed doors can only be fed alive, right?
However, then again, the old man frowned and said, what do you say have to do with me, a flower seedling?
I'm very healthy.Ji Fan explained: The so-called overkill, in order not to receive bad reviews, the store is likely to omit the steps of water control.You see, although your seedlings are not wilting, but the substrate is obviously too damp, if you don't ventilate the seedlings, plant them directly in the pot Father Xu's eyes lit up, and finally reacted: then it will grow in vain, and even rotten roots!
Ji Fan nodded: Very likely.The safest way is to put it in a cool place for a day or two before basinning.Rest assured, geranium seedlings won't dry out.I understand this.Father Xu nodded again and again, immediately put away the small flower pot that was ready to be transplanted, carefully picked up the nutrient bowl containing the seedlings, and put it in a ventilated place.When he was done, he dusted off his cuffs and turned his face: Little classmate, I see that you are very knowledgeable, do you also grow flowers at home?
Ji Fan smiled embarrassedly: No, I'm just a personal interest, this interest is good, the old man's eyes lit up, although my son is a student of biology, but he has no interest in growing things or raising things, and he is usually about to suffocate me!
Come on, I'll show you again, this is a few new pots I bought recently He stood up with great interest, pulled Ji Fan and walked to the balcony, the coldness when he first saw him was completely gone, and his expression was smug, like an old child.On the balcony squatted two figures, one high and one low.Lao Xu passed by the living room, saw this scene, and was taken aback, how could his father look like a good brother with Ji Fan?
Dad, don't bully Ji Fan, Lao Xu was shocked when he saw Ji Fan's hands full of dirt, he was an honest child, he came to class all the way, why did he fool people to help you dig the soil?
Come on, come on, Father Xu turned a deaf ear, and affectionately pulled Ji Fan to introduce him, this is my new friend.Ji Fan: Lao Xu: Ji Fan stiffened his head: That, Teacher Xu and Father Xu turned his head with a smile: Hey, the kid smashed~ Ji Fan: Lao Xu exploded: He shouted obviously me!
Let's go, Ji Fan, the teacher will take you to wash your hands, Lao Xu huffed, pulled Ji Fan and walked to the kitchen, the others just took the elevator up, and soon arrived.There was a kind old lady in the kitchen, who smiled and opened a new little soap for him.Thank you.Ji Fan took it embarrassedly and lowered his head to clean the soil between his fingers.No, I should thank you.The old lady added a spoonful of water to the pot and said gently, his father hadn't met a child for a long time.Huh?
Don't look at him like this now, he used to have a straight face every day, the old lady laughed, and her bad temper made the students afraid of him, and in the end, there was no one who was willing to visit.Is he also a teacher?
Sort of, the old lady looked nostalgic, it was a long time ago, we first lived in T City, don't gossip with Ji Fan, Teacher Xu came in, and said helplessly, I have to go to class.Oh, the old lady wiped her hands on her apron, took off a towel and gave it to Ji Fan, patted him on the shoulder, then go quickly.The study was temporarily converted into a classroom, with a movable whiteboard in front of a bookcase, two desks put together, and six or seven plastic stools around it.Ji Fan pushed open the door and saw Wang Gang in the corner at a glance, his pupils contracted slightly.Wang Gang was wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans, looking tired, with a band-aid on the corner of his lips, and when he saw him come in, he immediately looked away.However, Ji Fan arrived too late, and all the positions were occupied, and the only remaining vacant seat was right next to Wang Gang.Someone behind him gently pushed him, and Lao Xu was puzzled: Why don't you go in and sit?
Ji Fan pursed his lips and was speechless, and was embarrassed, when someone suddenly stood up and moved to the side It was Chen Zhen.Even on holidays, he wore a school uniform, and his half-length forehead hair covered his eyes, looking a little gloomy.He sat down directly next to Wang Gang, moved his things with his hand, and said lightly: You sit with me, and save the trouble of squeezing in and out.Wang Gang quickly raised his eyes and swept away, but he didn't look away and didn't speak.Ji Fan, who was relieved, hurriedly ran over and sat down, and said in a low voice: Thank you.Chen Zhen didn't answer, stared at his face thoughtfully, and after a while, he said: What's wrong with you?
Ji Fan didn't know how to explain it at all, so he shook his head: It's nothing.The gaze under Chen Zhen's glasses was very sharp, and it seemed to be able to perceive everything, which made him hang his head a little uneasily.Fortunately, the other party only looked at it for a while and then looked away.The assault class began, Lao Xu copied the questions on the blackboard, and Ji Fan put his energy back into studying and buried himself in copying.At that moment, his foot seemed to have accidentally kicked something, making a slight muffled sound.It's not the corner of the table, it's not the leg of a classmate, it seems to be a square box?
By picking up erasers, he secretly glanced under the table, only to see that Wang Gang was leaning on a boxy carton at his feet, with gorgeous packaging, and he didn't know what was inside.Is it a gift?
For Lao Xu?
No, it shouldn't be.Ji Fan slowly straightened his waist, a little distracted, Lao Xu clearly said that tutoring refused to charge any fees, participation was all voluntary, and other students did not bring gifts, Wang Gang did not need to do this at all.So who is this gift for?
Until the end of the course, this mysterious gift was quietly placed at Wang Gang's feet.At the strong request of Xu's father, Ji Fan was forced to agree to stay for dinner.When he came out of the bathroom, his classmates had already dispersed, and he had just walked to the door of the study when he suddenly heard an argument coming from inside.The door of the study was hidden, and I could only see it clearly, and even the sound was intermittent.What do you mean?
Lao Xu's voice was very low, and it didn't sound very pleasant.Teacher, this is what my parents asked me to bring to Academician Xu, Wang Gang said with a smile, it's not a valuable thing, it's just a little souvenir, you can take it.You take it back, we don't need it at home.Lao Xu said coldly.No, teacher, you misunderstood, in fact, the squeaky wooden door was opened.Ji Fan was startled, looked closely, and realized that it was not the door on his side.The other end of the study is connected to the master bedroom, and someone should have walked into the study from that side.What is this doing?!
The voice was full of anger.Academician Xu Wang Gang was pleasantly surprised, hello, I've been looking up for a long time, this time my parents entrusted me with your parents?
The old man interrupted him angrily, what's his name?
And, they are now teaching at Z University, and they are also doing work in basic disciplines, Wang Gang talked endlessly.Ji Fan outside the door only listened to a general idea, but he was completely stunned.Academician?
Is it the academician he thinks?
Just that grumpy old man?
The old man snorted and interrupted him coldly: What a mess, I haven't heard of it.After an embarrassing cold scene, Wang Gang stubbornly continued: Teacher Xu, don't call me teacher, Father Xu simply rejected him neatly, and his tone was very stern, I have never taught you, nor have I taught your parents.Let them give this gift to the person who deserves it, and don't use it to obscure my eyes.Dad Xu couldn't help but persuade.What's wrong with me?
Glaring at his son, Father Xu continued to say to Wang Gang, you go back and tell your father, if you still insist, ask them to come to me by themselves, don't hide behind the children and fool around.Wang Gang's face turned red: My father Xu unceremoniously interrupted him: Purify some crooked and evil ways, and good seedlings have been led crooked by this kind of person.Do we rely on relationships to do learning?
Hey, Dad, don't you say a few words, Lao Xu pushed the nagging Academician Xu to the house, while glaring at the embarrassed Wang Gang, signaling him to hurry up.I can't tell you about it?
Do my children lack a bite to eat for today's children, or do I have a little less to wear?
Cordyceps sinensis ginseng reishi, do I look old enough to need this kind of thing?
Even if he walked away, Xu's father's humming voice still came very penetratingly.Wang Gang's face was completely red, and after a while, he stiffly packed up the gifts, hugged his schoolbag, and hurriedly walked out.
