Strange Life of a Cat

Old man Lan didn't give too much explanation on the name of the flower, but simply mentioned that the discovery of this flower was related to a cat, and when people asked him in detail, old man Lan kept silent, just didn't say anything.

Fortunately, everyone's attention is now focused on the potted flower. Although it is strange to have the word cat in the name of this flower, now is not the time to tangle up with the name, and everyone wants to take a closer look at the potted flower.

Recently, old man Lan has been mentioned many times because of this potted flower. The fact that old man Lan raised a pot of orchids worth more than 10 million yuan has become a hot topic in the family compound of the two districts. Originally, old man Lan used to raise orchids It has a great reputation for raising the famous Zhenpinlan, and it is even more famous now.

Wherever Old Lan ran into people he knew recently, people would ask him, Lao Lan, take out your jade cat and let everyone have a look, don't keep hiding it!

It's a pity that after the name of the flower blooms, old man Lan's flower garden is not going to be opened to the public, and even those who have a good relationship don't want to go through the back door. Old man Lan has contacted someone and is going to send this potted flower to the botanical garden. Before, old man Lan didn't intend to be seen by others. When there were a few clinging old men who annoyed old man Lan, he would let them look down on them. As for those who are not so thick-skinned, they can only be seen Turned away. So, sometimes you have to be thick-skinned.

Zheng Tan also heard that there were two old men looking for orchids, but they couldn't find anyone. The wall of the small flower garden was not too high, so they took a ladder to climb over the wall and went in. As a result, they were old and their movements were not very good. He was flexible and didn't react too quickly, and almost fell and hurt himself. Afterwards, he was caught and laughed by Old Man Lan for a long time.

In any case, after three years of silence, Old Man Lan's face turned red this time.

The flower show lasted for a long time, from two days before the 11th to around the 20th, because this year is the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, so provincial leaders and city leaders decided to hold a big flower show to celebrate.

The flower show is divided into several branch venues and a main venue, so that citizens living in various districts can go to the nearest park or square to see the flower show. Old Lan and some professionals set their sights on the main venue of the city's botanical garden. There, there will be more famous and rare flowers on display.

Many flowers in the main venue and sub-venues were collected from the citizens, but many of the finale flowers were provided by people who knew people in the flower-loving circle like Old Lan and the others, and they did not take all the famous flowers on hand. When we go to the botanical garden, we will still keep one or two pots in other branch venues, so that famous products will be exhibited there for the public to watch. Of course, there are also dedicated security personnel in charge of the branch venue, so there is no need to worry about damage.

However, the old men will still take the ace flower seeds that are good for their hearts and the like, used to inflate their own faces to the opponent's face, to the main venue of the botanical garden. There are professional-grade display stand protection windows and more professional talents and connoisseurs. Although this is not an event like an expo, in a sense, it has been regarded by some as a small exchange meeting.

What is the exchange meeting for?

Exchange gardening experience?

Yes, of course there is.

Then what?

Just like a class reunion, pretentiousness and showing off wealth are indispensable.

It's just that what others show off is the garage watch, and what they show off is flowers and trees. The old men still feel pretty good about themselves. This is also art, a high-level spiritual enjoyment, not a vulgar exchange of money.

Every time I heard those old men in the compound proudly say these things, Zheng Tan would despise them in his heart. A bunch of old urchins, don't look like they're an old man in front of college students or young teachers. Children, they can still compare, they can still fight, and they can still do some ridiculous things, such as the incident of climbing over the wall in the past two days.

In the morning, Zheng Tan went out with Papa Jiao, and when he was walking around the small flower garden, he happened to see Old Man Lan coming out of the small flower garden like a thief. Lock the courtyard door, clap your hands and go home.

Old man Lan has finished placing the flowers in it so early in the morning. I don't know when he got up, but he probably came out around five o'clock in the morning. This is obviously to prevent others from finding it.

After seeing Zheng Tan, Old Lan's face was wrinkled again with a smile.

Heitan, the flower show will last for another week, but we old men have made an appointment to bring the flowers over tomorrow, and then you will go there with your cat father and the others.

Old man Lan and their respective darlings will definitely not be kept on the booth all the time. One day's communication is enough, so why need a week? Except for the people who were full during the 11th Golden Week, the botanical garden is much more relaxed now, and there will be no riots, so they can feel at ease.

And old man Lan's words just now revealed two pieces of information. First, the favorites of the old guys will be exhibited tomorrow; second, the little Jiao that Old Lan is talking about is Papa Jiao. Since he said so, it means that Papa Jiao and the others will go to see it. Tomorrow is Saturday. The little grapefruits are all there, so the whole family can go; the third thing is, generally speaking, according to the rules, pets are not allowed in the botanical garden, but there are few people on weekdays, and the people in the botanical garden will turn a blind eye. , but now it is during the flower show, it is still difficult for pets to go in, and the old man Lan can ask Zheng Tan to go with him, he must have taken care of the relationship with the botanical garden, maybe the required documents have already been given to Jiao dad.

Zheng Tan was naturally very happy to be able to go to the botanical garden with the Jiao family to watch the flower show. Being able to go out with the family and get in touch with nature is such a good time to relax.

Enjoyed another privilege.

Zheng Tan also knew that Old Lan Jiao's father had said that if this potted flower wanted to be sold, his suggestion was to hold it down for the time being, and not to sell it in a hurry, so as not to be afraid of the collapse of Lanzhou City. Every year, there are some orchid exchange meetings and expositions, which are attended by well-known people in the circle, including domestic and foreign people, and many of them are not open to the public. After all, at the exchange meeting, what everyone brought over was their own favourites, which were valuable and could not afford to make mistakes. Bring it to the exhibition, as long as the orchid becomes more famous and more people want to buy it, the price will naturally rise again, and may even double.

Father Jiao didn't seem to have any intention of selling it, which made Old Man Lan heave a sigh of relief, and his mood naturally improved, because it meant that Lanhua might stay in his hands for several years.

After Old Man Lan left, Zheng Tan didn't plan to go into the small flower garden to look at the flowers. In fact, he didn't have much interest in them. Besides, since Old Man Lan had already been to the small flower garden, he must have done a good job of protecting the inside , I can't see the potted flower when I go in.

Just about to leave, Zheng Tan moved his ears and looked over.

The sheriff jumped down from a tree at the corner, walked a distance around the wall, glanced at Zheng Tan, and saw that Zheng Tan didn't intend to jump in, so he moved by himself and climbed over the wall.

Like those who are thinking about orchids, the sheriff has been thinking about that potted orchid since he saw it. They all came over to guard, but they didn't have that chance.

Didn't the sheriff understand old man Lan's warning?

not necessarily.

As Zheng Tan, who has known the sheriff for six years, he knows that this guy has no problem with his IQ, and a cat who has been in contact with humans in human society for a long time can also understand some words.

Don't think they don't understand, they just don't want to implement it, they're just pretending to be stupid.

The reason why he repeatedly stepped on the line is purely because the sheriff knew that old man Lan could not do anything with it, and he also wanted to see flowers and eat flowers, so he just pretended that he didn't understand. What everyone said, he flicked his ears and gave the words he heard. Shake it out and throw it away.

Zheng Tan jumped up on the wall to have a look. Sure enough, the sheriff could only wander outside the cat-proof net, and he was not allowed to enter the flower shed. He could only nibble on the unprotected trees and small wild flowers around him.

With the police chief tossing around, Zheng Tan jumped onto a lesson tree and looked up at the sky.

Although it rained and lowered the temperature a bit on November 1, the weather has cleared up now and the temperature has risen a bit, so tomorrow should also be a sunny day.

That's right, the old man Lan and the others wouldn't go if it wasn't for the sunny day. They must have already understood all kinds of weather and geographical conditions to arrange something.

Just as Zheng Tan thought, the next day was indeed a sunny day, and the sky turned blue and clearer, unlike usual gray.

The four members of the Jiao family and one cat drove to the botanical garden.

On the way, Jiao Yuan kept asking about the pot of orchids. He just came back from school last night, and all he knew was that he was going to the botanical garden to watch the flower show on Saturday, and it was Xiaoyouzi who told him about the pot of orchids. When Zheng Tan came back with orchids in his hands, Jiao Yuan also knew that there was no need to hide this. Besides, he had heard some gossip about the compound, but he didn't think of it about himself at the time.

The botanical garden is not far from Chuhua University, and it takes more than 20 minutes to drive there. If it wasn't for a traffic jam halfway, it would probably take ten minutes.

Lan Tianzhu moved with his grandfather, old man Lan, Xiong Xiong's mother and Xiong Xiong would come later, Su An's family and Li Rui's family moved together. The Jiao family was the first to arrive.

The parking place is still some distance from the gate of the botanical garden, because during the flower show, the flow of people is still more than usual, and the botanical garden, which is the main venue, naturally has more people driving over, it is impossible for everyone to drive there , there are not so many parking places near the gate of the botanical garden.

Of course, those with special licenses can still go there. For example, Mr. Lan and the others have them. They have long been acquainted with the people in the botanical garden.

Although the old man Lan gave Father Jiao the ID to let Zheng Tan in, but in order not to be too conspicuous, Zheng Tan squatted in the backpack for a while.

Be low-key as a human being, and so is being a cat.

It is impossible for Xiaoyouzi and Jiao's mother to carry backpacks, the principle of respecting the old and loving the young, Jiao Yuan will not let Jiao's father carry backpacks, Jiao Yuan is already a senior in high school, taller and stronger than Jiao's father, who will not carry him?

When walking towards the gate, Zheng Tan saw signs standing nearby from the zipper of his backpack, and volunteers in uniforms posted some plant distribution maps in various areas of the botanical garden, which clearly marked some prohibited areas. The place is not open to the public.

Just watching, a black car slowly drove over.

Why can that car drive in? I don't think it's so special. Jiao Yuan asked. Someone stopped the car they passed by just now, so they parked the car further away.

There is a pass on the window of that car. Papa Jiao explained.

Jiao Yuan let out an oh and stopped being entangled. Privilege is always there, and if they can have it, so can others.

Zheng Tan poked his head out of his backpack and looked at the car passing by at a slow speed. He felt that when the car drove past just now, something inside the car was staring at them.

Speaking of flower shows, when I chatted with my friends today, I talked about the city flowers of their respective cities, and I asked three questions...
