Pastoral Daily Life

Grandma Wang's son is Wang Chaoliang, a researcher at the Fengcheng Institute of Botany.

The Fengcheng Institute of Botany is adjacent to the Fengcheng Botanical Garden. Although the scale is not very large, it has been developed for decades.The entire research institute focuses on research and development in the fields of ecological environment, modern agriculture, plant resources, and system evolution.

Wang Chaoliang used to be busy with work, and he either stayed in the botanical garden or went out for inspection all the year round.Although he heard on the phone that Grandma Wang praised the good green plants in a gardening store nearby, but he has been outside for nearly half a year and has not had a chance to see the green plants that Grandma Wang mentioned.Until this time, Wang Chaoliang accompanied Grandma Wang to Weiyuan, and immediately fell in love with it.

Grandma Wang left after staying for a while. After all, the old man had just been discharged from the hospital, so she still needed to rest more.Wang Chaoliang sent Grandma Wang home, and wandered over again alone.

"Uncle Wang." Lu Lingxi was a little surprised.

Wang Chaoliang laughed, and laughed at himself: "Occupational diseases have occurred, and when I see the well-planted flowers and plants, I can't help but want to see more, and I can't stay home."

Lu Lingxi smiled and said nothing. He found that whether it was Wang Chaoliang, Gao Yongliang or Xue Yongtong, they all had similar problems, or it was the same for people who like plants?

Wang Chaoliang wandered around in the store, Lu Lingxi had nothing to do and followed Wang Chaoliang.Although he was a little worried about being seen by Wang Chaoliang, what Yan Yue said before was correct. Even if someone found the abnormality of these plants, the first thing to think about was the environmental factor, and no one would think it was him for no reason.Besides, if Yan Yue said he was fine, he was definitely fine. Lu Lingxi didn't know where her confidence came from, but she believed in Yan Yue's words.

"This is... Chlorophytum?"

Wang Chaoliang stopped in front of a spider plant hanging on the wall with a puzzled expression.

Seeing that this spider plant had evolved, Lu Lingxi thought about it before nodding.

Wang Chaoliang gently compared Bi Diaolan's side, and smiled at Lu Lingxi. "This Chlorophytum is interesting. It's just an ordinary species of Chlorophytum, but the width of its leaves is about the same as that of Chlorophytum broad-leaved, maybe even wider. Compared with Chlorophytum with thin leaves, this Chlorophytum should be more evolved."

"..." Wang Chaoliang's words were right, Lu Lingxi didn't know what to say.

Wang Chaoliang saw that Lu Lingxi didn't speak, thought that he didn't understand these things, and explained with a smile: "Uncle Wang is studying this, the variation and evolution of plants. Xiaoxi, you should know that spider plants can purify the air, right?"

Lu Lingxi nodded.

Wang Chaoliang patiently said: "The process of Chlorophytum purifying the air is actually a process of photosynthesis. The photosynthesis of plants occurs on the green leaves. Generally speaking, the larger the surface area of ​​the leaves of a plant, the more photosynthetic efficiency can be improved. Of course, this is just a general In some cases, other conditions such as uniform illumination should also be considered. However, Chlorophytum has relatively low light requirements, and even weak light does not affect its photosynthesis. So Xiaoxi, you can see that the leaves of this Chlorophytum are very wide, which means Its photosynthetic efficiency is higher, which is also a direction of the evolution of Chlorophytum, which is more practical."

Lu Lingxi used to only know that the direction of evolution of spider plants is to choose to absorb formaldehyde + 20%. He also carefully compared the difference between the evolved spider plants and ordinary spider plants. The leaves are wider, but he rarely thinks about the reasons for this. I know there is such a saying.

Wang Chaoliang saw that Lu Lingxi was interested in these things, and he was a little happy to talk about it for a while. "The evolution of plants is very interesting. We generally think that plants are not intelligent, but they are not. In the plant world, plants are constantly developing and evolving through genetic variation. This evolution process is actually the process of their intelligent selection. Xiaoxi, you have heard Venus flytrap, right? A plant that eats insects."

Lu Lingxi nodded.He had seen the introduction in the illustrated book of magical plants in the world.

Wang Chaoliang said with a smile: "When it comes to Venus flytrap, we must first talk about photosynthesis. Like other plants, Venus flytrap obtains nutrients through photosynthesis. However, unlike other plants, the nourishment obtained by Venus flytrap is not enough. support its survival, and the swamp it grows in also lacks essential minerals and other nutrients. In this case, the Flytrap either cannot survive, or must "smartly" find other alternative ways to obtain key nutrients.

It may have started out as a flytrap that inadvertently caught an insect, replenishing the missing nutrients.Its genetic information records this, and it evolves from generation to generation, constantly seeking the best way to prey, and then it evolves into what it is today. "

Wang Chaoliang said here with some emotion, "The evolution of plants is amazing. Now our research direction includes not only the natural evolution of plants, but also the direction of artificial intervention in the evolution of plants. Xiaoxi, if you are interested in these, the research institute will be in Fengcheng next week. There is a related lecture at the Agricultural University, you can go and listen to it.”

"Is it about plant evolution?"

Dynasty Highlights nodded, "A lecture on artificially selecting the evolutionary direction of plants, to be precise."

Lu Lingxi was a little moved, Wang Chaoliang left him a phone number and asked him to call him when he went.After spending a whole morning in Weiyuan, Wang Chaoliang reluctantly left here. Before leaving, he bought the pot of spider plants that had evolved, saying that he wanted to go back and have a look.

After seeing Wang Chaoliang off, Lu Lingxi clicked on the white panel.He didn't know much about the evolution of plants, and he didn't think about the choice of the direction of plant evolution.But what Wang Chaoliang said today made him realize a problem. The evolution of plants through panels is not the natural evolution of plants, but more like the evolution of artificial intervention, or the evolution of panel selection.This made Lu Lingxi think about another question, what is the panel?

After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't have any ideas. Lu Lingxi was going to attend a lecture at Fengcheng Agricultural University next week. He was a little interested in the artificial evolution of plants, and felt as if he had touched something.With all these things distracted, Lu Lingxi's thoughts turned to the possible evolution direction of the plants in the store, and she didn't have time to think about Yan Yue for a while.

At that time, Yan Yue was taking An Jie to the Ye family's old house to look for Ye Kang.Today is the weekend, and the children and grandchildren of the Ye family who stayed in Zhongjing must gather back to the old house. This is the mandatory rule of Mr. Ye.Hearing that Ye Kang was accompanying Mr. Ye to greet the guests, Yan Yue wondered if he should come back at another time.Anyway, the two are not far away, that is, a few minutes.Just as he was about to leave, Ye Kang had already escaped with an excuse, looking at them with surprise on his face. "That's interesting, I'm just wondering what excuses I can find to hide."

Yan Yue raised his eyebrows thoughtfully, "Blind date?"

Ye Kang nodded with a bitter face.I don't know what the old man thinks, Ye Cheng hasn't married yet, so instead of worrying about Ye Cheng, worry about him.It's only been a few days since he came back from Fengcheng, the old man has arranged for him to come so many times, almost forcing him to hide abroad.

An Jie gloated a little, "Whose girl made you avoid it so much?"

"The Li family." Ye Kang had a headache, "Grandpa didn't know what he was thinking. He insisted on saying that the girl from the Li family was good, but he didn't ask about it. Who would dare to marry a girl from the Li family now."

"What's the matter? Are you ugly? You have a tough personality?" An Jie has been abroad and doesn't know about these domestic gossips.

But Yan Yue thought of something, "Is it about Lu Weian?"

Ye Kang nodded, "Li Caiying came out of the Li family, and her personality has become paranoid to the point of madness. Now everyone is afraid that the Li family's daughter will be the same, and no one dares to marry home. By the way, Lu Weian is here today. Do you want to meet?"

Yan Yue thought of Lu Weian's brother who had passed away, and shook his head, "Forget it, I didn't have any friendship."

Ye Kang didn't care, "It's fine not to see him, anyway, he is not with us."

While the two were talking, someone came out of the main house.Ye Kang glanced at it and gestured casually: "The one in the middle is Lu Weian."

Yan Yue followed suit, frowning slightly.Lu Weian looked a little thin, and his character was not too tall, giving people a very gentle impression, but what made Yan Yue a little uncomfortable was that Lu Weian looked a little like Lu Lingxi.Ever since he knew that the young man had the same name as Lu Weian's brother who passed away, Yan Yue had always been a little hostile towards the Lu family. Now seeing that the two of them were somewhat similar, he felt an indescribable disgust.

Seemingly noticing the gaze here, Lu Weian looked over sensitively.Yan Yue looked away coldly, Ye Kang laughed, ignored Lu Weian over there, and dragged Yan Yue and An Jie into the room.

Because of his good recovery, Lu Weian gradually appeared in the social circle of his peers.But with the matter of Lu Lingxi in front, everyone's perception of him is not very good.Although to a certain extent, Lu Weian was also pitiful, but even more pitiful was the deceased Lu Lingxi.Ye Kang didn't believe that Lu Weian didn't know anything for so many years. Since he could enjoy Lu Lingxi's contributions with peace of mind, he didn't think of Lu Lingxi as a little brother in his heart.It is also for this reason that Lu Weian has never been able to integrate into their circle, which is what Ye Kang meant when he said that they are not from the same way.

"Are you still responding?" As a qualified psychologist, Ye Kang could easily guess Yan Yue's thoughts from his expression.He felt that Yan Yue was a little abnormal as long as he was concerned about Shang Lu Lingxi, and it was purely accidental that they had the same name. "How about..." He suggested: "Let Xiaoxi change her name? Lu Xi and Yan Xi are both very good, what do you think?"

Yan Yue glanced at him lightly, Ye Kang laughed and asked, "How long are you going to stay this time? Why didn't you bring Xiaoxi along? Some places in Zhongjing are good, you can take Xiaoxi around .”

This proposal moved Yan Yue a little bit, Xiaoxi seemed to have been growing up in Fengcheng and hadn't been to other places.He should find time to take Xiaoxi out for a walk, and he can choose Kunnan as the first stop.There are more virgin forests over there, and there are many types of plants, Xiaoxi will definitely like it.

"Where do you want to go?" Ye Kang knew from his expression that he had listened to the proposal.

"Kunnan. The climate there is good and there are many plants. Xiaoxi should like it."

When Ye Kang heard about Kunnan, he became interested himself. "When to go, we can go together."

As if Yan Yue didn't hear his words, he changed the subject naturally.

An Jie winked at Ye Kang amusedly, and lip-synced, "Honeymoon trip."

Ye Kang: "..."
