Chapter 27: The Happy Old Man

After class the next day, Liu Changfa came to find Zhang Jingwen again, it turned out that after he was scolded yesterday, he didn't fall asleep all night, thinking about it, he felt that the matter of losing flower pots was too strange.

They discussed together, or looked for it again, who has such great magical powers to steal a flower pot?

Together they found Aunt Liu, the dormitory manager, and explained the situation of losing the flower pots.

Aunt Liu was overjoyed when she heard it, and said:

"Because the school notices that each dormitory must have four pots of flowers, I asked Wang Huachang, who grows flowers, to make statistics on the flower cultivation in each dormitory."

Zhang Jingwen: "Aunt Liu, that means that you entered my dormitory yesterday?" ”

Aunt Liu: "I have the key to your dormitory, I entered your dormitory, and I saw a pot without flowers, so I took it away, and I was going to change it for you." ”

Zhang Jingwen: "Oh, it's broken, my pot of flowers has already been planted." ”

Aunt Liu: "What should I do, I have already taken it to the flower shed, wouldn't it be better for him to plant ready-made flowers for you?" ”

Zhang Jingwen: "But, my flower ...... Forget it, I can't tell, so where is the Wang gardener? ”

Aunt Liu: "He is in the northeast corner of the back garden, there is a flower greenhouse, you can go, see what flowers you want, just pick." ”

The two of them said goodbye to Aunt Liu and went to the northeast corner of the back garden to find Wang Huafa.

In a very hidden place, Liu Changfa saw a very hidden small door, which was completely covered by vines, so it was difficult for ordinary people to find it.

The door opened as soon as they pushed it, and they went down a few steps, and then pushed open a grass gate inside, and sure enough, it suddenly opened, the light was very bright, and it was as if they had entered a sea of flowers.

They saw an old man, fiddling with a flower pot.

Zhang Jingwen took a closer look, it was her own.

"Hello, Grandpa Wang!" Zhang Jingwen hurriedly shouted.

The old man noticed the two young men and hurriedly beckoned them to sit on the empty flower pots.

"I'm also old, and I'm in good health, but I'm just a little behind my ears, so you're here to visit the flowers."

The old man didn't wait for the two to ask, and then said:

"I raise a wide variety of flowers, although they are not exotic flowers and plants, nor are they precious national quintessences, but as long as you like them, you can taste the fun."

"I have orchids, crab claw orchids, morning glories, carnations, starry trees, gardenias, jasmine, wild chrysanthemums, moon flowers, roses, rhododendrons, camellias, pothos, aloe vera, mint, lilies, osmanthus, spider plants, roses, anthuriums, anthuriums, fortune trees, cyclamen, triangular plums, longevity flowers, succulents, and so on."

Zhang Jingwen was so shocked that she stuck out her tongue, and whispered to Liu Changfa: "This old man is not a mortal, this memory is really enough!" ”

Only then did they take a look at the old man, and saw that the old man was dressed very plainly, but he was in good spirits, his eyes were clear, and his face was ruddy.

Liu Changfa said into the old man's ear: "Old man, how are you this year?" ”

The old man said, "You ask me why I raise flowers?" Let me tell you, this flower is a science, but also a kind of taste, but also an art and fun, flower raising is also a kind of life, my heart is all in the flowers, I will experience life in the flowers. ”

Zhang Jingwen said to the old man again: "Old man, I have already planted flowers in this pot." ”

The old man smiled again and said, "The flower has already been cured?" Flowers, of course, can heal. I had a friend who was depressed and had no interest in anything during his illness. ”

"Later, I inadvertently raised flowers and plants, and the healing power of plants cannot be underestimated."

"Later, my friend got out of depression by raising flowers, and he is 80 years old this year, and his body is still very solid."

"Looking at these flowers and plants every day can cure a lot of unhappiness."

When Liu Changfa heard this, he became interested and said, "You have a talent for growing flowers since you were a child." ”

The old man asked again, "What did you say?" Be louder. ”

Zhang Jingwen simply took out a pen and paper and wrote the words "You have the talent to grow flowers".

The old man understood now and said: "When I first started raising flowers, I felt that the flowers grew too slowly, and there was no change in one day or two, but once they took root and sprouted, one day at a time, and then carefully watered and fertilized, and watched the flowers they maintained grow day by day, from a seed to a pot full of flowers and leaves, it feels cool!" ”

Liu Changfa smiled and said to Zhang Jingwen: "Yes! This is in line with the four talent standards that Principal Ma said. ”

Zhang Jingwen wrote: "Old man, I have planted flowers in this pot, and they are very precious tweeds. ”

Only then did the old man understand and asked, "How many days have you been planting?" ”

Zhang Jingwen stretched out four fingers and said, "Four days." ”

The old man said: "It usually takes seven days for flower seeds to germinate, and it is the late autumn season, so I am afraid that you will not be able to grow in the dormitory." ”

The old man continued, "Well, how about you bring all your flower seeds, and I will help you plant them, and then give them to you after they have sprouted?" ”

Zhang Jingwen's mouth opened: "This ...... This ......"

This is really embarrassing, she looked at Liu Changfa, and Liu Changfa didn't say a word.

For a while, Zhang Jingwen had no idea.

The old man seemed to understand their thoughts, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, young man, I am ninety-two years old, and I am the one who should enter the earth, and I will not lie to people." ”

The old man said, "I have planted countless flowers, but there is no flower that I cannot grow." ”

Liu Changfa said to Zhang Jingwen: "I think of my mother again, her illness has not yet recovered, maybe this flower can really cure the disease?" ”

Zhang Jingwen was heartbroken and said, "Then give it to the old man to plant." ”

Liu Changfa nodded.

The old man was in good spirits again, and went into the back room to bring them tea. He nagged again:

"Everything in heaven and earth has spirituality, and plants also have their spirituality, but few people can experience it."

"I like to grow flowers and plants, so I feel the spirituality of plants."

"Raising flowers requires a lot of water, pure natural water is of course the best, if you don't have it, use tap water, prepare a large water tank, and you can use it after a few days of precipitation."

Zhang Jingwen got up and said, "Grandpa, I'll go back and get the flower seeds, you wait for me for a while." ”

After saying that, leaving Liu Changfa here, she ran to the dormitory, took out the small gourd from the corner of the bed, and walked to the back garden.

Halfway through, I just ran into Li Mengran and Zhu Dachang.

"Why are you going?"

"Did you lose the pot with garlic?"

Zhu Dachang asked eagerly.

Zhang Jingwen: "I said that you guys are all worrying, the flower pot was not lost at all, you came just in time, come with me, and also visit the flower shed." ”

The two of them followed Zhang Jingwen to the flower shed, and saw the old man who planted flowers, Zhang Jingwen took out a small gourd, and the old man took it, and when he saw it, he was surprised!
