Zhao Lao
Chapter 3:Zhao Lao
The next day, Luo Tong drove his mother's Chery to the door of the store, and it was difficult to find a place to park the car.Due to its proximity to the school, there are many storefronts and few parking spaces.Luo Tong spent a long time to move the plants in the car to the store.
When all moved, the regularity was already more than ten o'clock, and Luo Tong dumped his arm, secretly glad that he had a wooden power.Since the power, no matter how tired Luotong was on the first day, he was absolutely refreshed after sleep, and the tiredness and exhaustion on the body were all swept away.
Just the flowers and grass are straightened out, there are guests in the room, is a 70-year-old grandfather, wearing a pair of glasses, full of intellectual elegant temperament, only long-term immersion in literature will be edified a temperament.Luo Tong put down the little gourd in his hand and greeted him: "Hello, old man, what do you want to see?"
The old man waved his hand at will, indicating that Luotong did not care about him, and he looked at it at his own free.Luo Tong quietly walked back to the counter and continued to take care of the ornamental gourd in his hand.
Yesterday, Luotong brought two small gourds from the flowerbed, one has been taken care of and placed on the window sill, and the other one has some side branches that need to be trimmed, and Luotong is placed on the counter.
The small gourd is a variant of the gourd, the stem has soft sticky hair, and the curly hand is divided into 2 forks.The leaves are heart-like or renal oval, with small teeth on the edges.Flower 6-July open, male and female, single-legged armpits; male tert is longer than female flowers, high on the leaves, crown white, edge wrinkle, open in the morning, the sun is withered.The fruit is pale yellow and white, less than 10 cm long, the middle is fine, the lower part is larger than the upper part, it is flat-shaped, and the upper part of the connecting fruit handle is a sharp peach shape.
The difference between gourds is that the plants are more strong, and although the fruit shape is like a gourd, it is small and only about 10 cm long.
Small fruit is beautiful.It can be planted by the flower rack, and the ripe fruit can be arranged for the desk, or made into a work of art.You can also take medicine.Seed oil can be made of soap.The smaller the fruit of the small gourd, the higher the value of the regular appearance.
This little gourd is the most spiritual plant in the flower bud, has blossomed, scattered small white flowers in the layers of green leaves, causing people to love.This little gourd can already express some meaning intermittently.Like now, Lo Tong can hear it saying, “The sun... the sun...”
Luo Tong grinned and trimmed the extra branches, making the whole pot plant look more spiritual.He was about to put the little gourd on the other side of the glass window to bask in the sun, but was stopped by the old gentleman who did not know when to stand in front of the counter: "Little girl, it is a bit of a meaning for you to plant flowers and plants, do you shoot?"
Luo Tong stood still, but still shook his head, "Old sir, this pot of small gourds I like, ready to keep it myself, there is another pot there, the taste is better than this pot, do you want to see that?"Luo Tong pointed to another small pot of gourds on the window sill, which did look similar on the outside, but only Lo Tong knew how the two were different.
The small verdant gourd that is dimly visible among the small corvic leaves on the window sill looks more spiritual than on the counter, but the small gourd on the window sill can only dimly understand its needs if the leaves of the window sill touch it, unlike the counter, which has been able to blur their own needs.
Lo Tong was an honest child, and though only she knew the difference between the two, she felt that she had deceived the old man, so the little blushed, as if a little embarrassed.But in the old man's view is the little girl's thin face, embarrassed to introduce their products to customers.
The old man, Zhao Lao smiled slightly, looked at the little gourd on the window sill, it was really better, at least it had already borne fruit.Zhao Lao was also the first time he came into contact with small gourds, he preferred fruit-watching plants, but the little gourd was still the first time to see, and asked Luotong for some small gourd farming precautions.
Fortunately, Luotong last night had some bad material to bring back yesterday, so that you can say one or two or three.
But in order to reassure the old man, Luo Tong reached out and touched the leaves of the small gourd, felt that the small gourd needed to be fertilized, sorted out the lower branches, and Luo Tong took care of the side and Zhao Lao chatted.The two talked about each other, quite a sense of forgetting the year, and the two were also friends with flowers, which was also a matter of elegance.
During the conversation, it was learned that Zhao Lao was a visiting professor in the Chinese department of a nearby university, had retired and was at home, and his usual hobby was to raise flowers and plants, and this little gourd was still the first time to plant, always at a snack.
When I heard that Zhao Lao was a university professor, Luo Tong was awe, because Luo Dad was a teacher, and Luotong had a sense of awe for teachers, not to mention Zhao Lao or a professor.
When Zhao Lao left, the two left micro-signals and added friends to each other.And arranged to go to the morning market of the flower and bird market tomorrow morning, and then Zhao Lao took the small gourd with a smile.
Send away Zhao Lao, Luo Tong will just put on the shelf of the pot plant again and again, the watering of the watering, the fertilization of the fertilization, the pruning of the pruning, and so on are all busy is close to twelve o'clock.Luo Tong wiped his sweat and picked up the meal card and bag to go to the school.
Because of the near graduation, there are many people coming and going to the school.As long as the meal card is handed over to the school before leaving school, so Luotong can also rub a few days of meals in the school, and by the end of the month, Luo Tong can only go out to find a place to eat.
