This time he didn't receive a cold reception at the door. The smart fence soon opened automatically. Tang Lin noticed that no one came out. He raised his legs and walked in. Inside was a small garden full of flowers and plants, which could still remain green and tenacious in winter.
Open flowers and plants.
There are always some special varieties among flowers and plants. Not only are they not afraid of the severe cold, but they will bloom the most beautiful flowers in the cold wind. Tang Lin couldn't help but stop and observe. Now there is a stronger breath of spring, so the flowers and plants in winter seem to be blooming.
The girl who has put on her thick winter coat is no longer bloated and tormented, showing a new green that is completely different from winter.
Suddenly, Tang Lin found a cactus that seemed to be unmanaged nearby. The flower pot was not as gorgeous as the others. It looked like a wild and ugly child that no one cared about. He just found a plastic flower pot and planted it in it.
Then I never took care of it again. It was obvious at a glance that the other flowers and plants were carefully managed. They often loosened the soil, fertilized, watered, and pruned. But the cactus seemed to have never been managed. The soil inside was chapped, and the cactus itself was not washed or trimmed.
, full of soil, and the flower pot was leaning crookedly in the corner.
Tang Lin instinctively walked over, straightened the flower pot, and moved it outside to let it see the sun. Cactus is a desert plant, which is very drought-tolerant and tenacious. If you water it frequently, it will not grow.
Very good, and he prefers sandy soil to fertile soil.
The flowerpot was obviously full of loess, otherwise it would not have cracked due to dryness. Tang Lin was confused, why did the owner here know so much about flowers and love them so much, but why did he do this to a cactus?
Suddenly there was a sound on the door, and an old man with thinning hair walked out. Tang Lin's attention suddenly shifted from the cactus to the old man. He never expected that it was him!
The old man looked at Tang Lin very calmly, not surprised at all, because it was him who was waiting here. However, Tang Lin subconsciously looked through the old man and looked back, but no one came out. Did the old man not come out or did he not come at all?
The old man actually introduced him. What was his intention?
But the old man would not give him the answer directly, he could only guess and deal with it by himself.
The old man smiled kindly, and instead of talking about the topic, he suddenly talked about the cactus that Tang Lin had just noticed, "You don't usually grow flowers, right? In fact, raising cactus cannot be called raising it, but taking it back and putting it anywhere, exposed to wind, sun, rain and frost.
Cold, let it go!"
Tang Lin listened quietly and didn't speak. Normally he wouldn't speak at this time. His habit as a sniper was to observe first, carefully and comprehensively without leaving any blind spots, and then wait for the best opportunity before taking action.
If he is not sure, he will never take action. If he is not sure, he would rather give up this opportunity. He would rather lurk and hide again, and then continue to observe, quietly waiting for the next opportunity.
So he instantly calmed down and became quiet, which surprised the kind old man a little, because although this kind of demeanor is also found in official circles, what Tang Lin showed was completely different from it.
The calmness and indifference in official circles is usually unpredictable. No one knows what this person is thinking or planning inside. But the instant calmness of Tang Lin makes people ignore him immediately. Although he is clearly
Standing right in front of you, you don't seem to notice this person at all, as if he has suddenly become invisible.
. And for a wise man like the kind old man, although he still pays attention to the situation in front of him, but then he feels something more terrifying. His tranquility is only superficial, he is actually a cheetah ready to pounce out to hunt at any time.
, if you don’t attack, once you pounce, you will definitely bite the prey’s neck and fight to the death!
However, no one knew when he was going to take action, or even whether he was going to take action this time, because he was so quiet!
The old man felt excited. No wonder General Huang Xingye would take a fancy to such an interesting young man. No wonder, no wonder. Mr. Huang's eyes are so poisonous!
But he still didn't change his original intention and still talked about cactus with Tang Lin without any unnecessary curiosity or question.
"Most cacti grow in arid environments. Some can even grow to more than 10 meters high and weigh 20,000 to 30,000 kilograms. They stand tall and are very spectacular. Some cactus with thorns have a life span of more than 500 years.
It grows into a giant ball with a diameter of two to three meters. People split its upper part and dig into the tender and juicy stem meat to quench their thirst and satisfy their hunger."
"Many people now know that cacti have a special ability. During the dry season, they can enter a dormant state without eating or drinking, minimizing the consumption of nutrients and water in the body. When the rainy season comes, they can
"Wake up" very sensitively, the root system immediately becomes active, absorbing a large amount of water, causing the plant to grow rapidly and bloom and bear fruit quickly. The root system of some cacti becomes carrot-shaped and can store seventy or eighty pounds of water."
"I once wrapped a cactus in a dry paper bag and kept it for more than two years. Although it shrank a little, it quickly grew new roots after watering it in a pot and resumed growth. Now you can see
This is it. So now you should know why I just turned a blind eye to it? It has
The strange-shaped stems and bright-colored flowers may make people intimidated by the strange shapes and sharp thorns of cacti, but the flowers they bloom are exceptionally delicate and colorful. 'Queen of the Moon Night', 'ephemeral' epiphyllum, etc.
In fact, it’s just this cactus with ugly limbs.”
The kind old man talked a lot about cacti, and Tang Lin listened quietly. At the end of his listening, he became interested in the Queen of the Moon Night and the night-blooming cereus. It was obvious that no matter whether he ignored the cactus in the first place or the alluring flowers of the Queen of the Moon Night in the back,
The birth of a short-lived and shocking miracle all hints at his situation and future.
Tang Lin raised his head, his eyes steady, "Haha, Teacher Peng, if this cactus is left alone and ignored, it may always remain an ugly, prickly cactus that no one pays attention to. Just thinking about it now, at the Dong'an Club the night before yesterday, I
His performance really made the teacher laugh!"
The kind old man who walked out of the door turned out to be the current president of Jiujing University, Peng Guoxing, the leader of the Chinese academic community!
The kindness and kindness on Peng Guoxing's face were definitely not fake, especially when he faced Tang Lin, "Tang Lin, generals and generals all believe in serving the country with loyalty and bravery. But prime ministers are different, prime ministers generally like
Making decisions while strategizing to win thousands of miles away, at the same time
The prime minister also pays attention to fate, so I pay more attention to eye connection. After all, you and the Peng family are also predestined. You unexpectedly met my daughter and grandson, and you met me by the Weiming Lake in Beijing University. It was not a coincidence.
Passing by. Haha, even an old man like me finds it interesting!"
Tang Lin smiled, very free and happy, "Haha, Teacher Peng, you forgot about it. Professor Peng Xiaoping is now my law teacher. I even recognized the wrong person during class this morning."
Peng Guoxing was stunned for a moment, then smiled reassuringly.
"Okay, young man, come in with me, at least I've decided to let you in!"
