Pastoral Daily Life

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

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

    Wang Chaoliang used to be busy with work. Although he heard grandma Wang praise on the phone that there is a nearby gardening shop with good green plants, but he has been outside for the past six months and has not had the chance to see the green plants that grandma Wang said. Until this time, Wang Chaoliang accompanied Grandma Wang to Micro Gardening and immediately fell in love with it.

    Grandma Wang left after a while. After all, the old man has just been discharged from the hospital, so she still needs more rest. Wang Chaoliang sent Grandma Wang home, and strolled over alone.

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

    Wang Chaoliang laughed and laughed at himself: "Occupational disease occurs, I can't help but want to see more of the good flowers and plants, and I can't stay home."

    Lu Lingxi smiled and did not speak, he found that whether it is Wang Chaoliang, Gao Yongliang or Xue Yongtong, they all have similar problems, or are people who like plants like this?

    Wang Dynasty Liang wandered around the store, Lu Lingxi had nothing to do and followed Wang Chao Liang. Although he was a little worried about what Wang Chaoliang would see, what Yan Yue said before was right. Even if someone discovers the abnormality of these plants, the first thing they think about is the environmental factor, and no one will think about it for no reason. Besides, if Yan Yue said it was okay, it would definitely be okay. Lu Lingxi didn't know where the confidence came from, just believing in Yan Yue's words.

    "Is this... spider plant?"

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

    When he saw that this spider plant was evolved, Lu Lingxi thought about it and nodded.

    Wang Chaoliang gently compared the side of Bi Chlorophyte, rushed to Lu Lingxi and laughed. "This spider plant is interesting. It's just an ordinary spider plant. The width of the leaves is similar to that of the wide-leaved spider orchid. It may even be wider. Compared with the thin-leaved spider orchid, this pot of spider orchid should have a higher degree of evolution."

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

    Wang Dynasty Liang saw that Lu Lingxi didn't speak, thought he didn't understand this, and explained with a smile: "Uncle Wang studies this, the mutation and evolution of plants. Xiaoxi, you should know that Chlorophytum can purify the air, right? Bar?"

    Lu Lingxi nodded.

    Wang Dynasty Liang patiently said: "The process of purifying the air of Chlorophytum is actually a process of photosynthesis. The photosynthesis of plants occurs on green leaves. Generally speaking, the larger the surface area of ​​plant leaves, the more energy Improve photosynthetic efficiency. Of course, this is only a general situation, and other conditions such as uniform illumination should also be considered. However, the requirement of light for spider plants is relatively low, and even weak light does not affect its photosynthesis. So Xiaoxi, look at this spider plant The leaves are very wide, which means that its photosynthetic efficiency is higher, which is also a direction of the evolution of spider plants, which is more practical."

    Lu Lingxi only knew that the evolution direction 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 a little wider, but he rarely goes there Thinking about the reason for this, I don't know if there is such a statement.

    Wang Dynasty Liang saw that Lu Lingxi was interested in these, and was a little happy to talk about it for a while. "The evolution of plants is very interesting. Most of us think that plants have no intelligence, but they are not. In the plant world, plants continue to develop and evolve through genetic variation. This evolutionary process is actually the process of their intelligent selection. Xiaoxi, you have heard of it. Venus flytrap, right? A plant that specializes in eating insects."

    Lu Lingxi nodded. He had seen the introduction on the World Fantastic Plants Illustrated Book.

    Wang Dynasty Liang smiled: "When it comes to Venus flytrap, we must first talk about photosynthesis. Like other plants, Venus flytrap also obtains nutrients through photosynthesis. However, it is a little different from other plants. The nutrients that the Venus flytrap gets are not sufficient to support its survival, and the swamp it grows in lacks necessary minerals and other nutrients. In this case, the Venus flytrap either cannot survive, or must be "intelligent" Find other alternative ways to get key nutrients.

    In the beginning, it may have just been a Venus flytrap that accidentally 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 it has evolved into what it is today. "

    Liang Wang said with some emotion here, "The evolution of plants is very miraculous. Now our research direction includes not only the natural evolution of plants, but also the evolutionary direction of artificial intervention of plants. Xiaoxi, if you are interested in these , The Institute will have a related lecture at Fengcheng Agricultural University next week, you can listen to it."

    "It's about plant evolution?"

    Dynasty Bright nodded, "To be exact, a lecture on the evolutionary direction of artificial selection of plants."

    Lu Lingxi was a little moved, Wang Chaoliang left him a phone number and asked him to find him when he went. After strolling around Micro Gardening all morning, Wang Chao Liang reluctantly left here. Before leaving, he bought the pot of evolved spider plants and said he wanted to go back and have a look.

    Send Wang Chaoliang away, 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 exactly is a panel?

    After thinking about it for a long time, there is no idea. Lu Lingxi is going to go to Fengcheng Agricultural University next week to listen to a lecture. The artificial evolution of plants has made him a little interested, and he feels as if he has touched something. With these things distracted, Lu Lingxi's mind turned to the possible evolutionary direction of the plants in the store, and he didn't have time to think about Yan Yue for a while.

    At that time, Yan Yue was taking An Jie to Ye's old house to find Ye Kang. Today is the weekend, and all the descendants of the Ye family who stay in Zhongjing must gather in the old house. This is a 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 matter of a few minutes. Just as he was about to leave, Ye Kang had already taken an excuse to hide, looking at the surprise on their faces. "Enough, I'm worried about what excuses to find to hide."

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

    Ye Kang nodded bitterly. I don't know what the old man thought. Ye Cheng didn't have a family yet. Instead of worrying about Ye Cheng, he worried about him. Just a few days after returning from Fengcheng, the old man had arranged for him to come here so many times that he was simply forcing him to hide abroad.

    An Jie was rather gloating, "Whose girl made you avoid so much?"

    "Li's family." Ye Kang had a headache, "Grandpa doesn't know what to think, if he insists that the girls of the Li family are good, he won't go to inquire about them. Who dares to be a girl from the Li family now? marry."

    "What's the matter? Ugly? Has a tough personality?" An Jie has been abroad and doesn't know the gossip in China.

    Yan Yue thought of something, "Or Lu Weian?"

    Ye Kang nodded, "There is a Li Caiying from the Li family, and her personality has become paranoid to the point of madness. Now everyone is afraid that the daughter of the Li family will be the same, and no one dares to marry her home. Yes. Now, Lu Weian is here too, do you want to meet?"

    Yan Yue thought of Lu Wei'an's deceased younger brother, and shook his head a little, "Forget it, there was no friendship at all."

    Ye Kang doesn't care, "It's okay if you don't go to see him, anyway, he and we are not the same person."

    While they were talking, someone came out of the main house. Ye Kang glanced at him and gestured: "The one in the middle is Lu Wei'an."

    Yan Yue followed and looked over, frowning invisibly. Lu Weian looks a little thin, and his words are not too high, giving people a very gentle feeling, but what makes Yan Yue a little uncomfortable is that Lu Weian looks like Lu Lingxi twice. Since knowing that the young man has the same name as Lu Weian's deceased younger brother, Yan Yue has always been a little disgusted with the Lu family. Now that they are still somewhat similar, there is an indescribable disgust.

    It seems that he noticed the gaze here, and Lu Wei'an looked over sensitively. Yan Yue looked away coldly, Ye Kang laughed, ignored Lu Wei'an over there, and dragged Yan Yue and An Jie into the room.

    Because of her good recovery, Lu Weian gradually appeared in the social circle of her peers. However, with Lu Lingxi's incident ahead, everyone's perception of him is not very good. Although to a certain extent, Lu Weian is also pitiful, but even more pitiful is Lu Lingxi, who has passed away. Ye Kang didn't believe that Lu Weian didn't know anything for so many years. Since he could enjoy Lu Lingxi's efforts with peace of mind, he didn't think of Lu Lingxi as a younger brother in his heart. It is also for this reason that Lu Weian has not been able to integrate into their circle. Ye Kang said that they are not all the way. That's what he meant.

      He felt that Yan Yue was a little abnormal as long as he dealt with Lu Lingxi, and it was purely accidental that the names were the same. "Or..." he suggested, "let Xiaoxi change his name? Lu Xi and Yan Xi are both 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 with you? Some places in Zhongjing are quite good. , you can take Xiaoxi around."

    This proposal made Yan Yue’s heart a little bit, Xiaoxi seems to have been growing up in Fengcheng and has not 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 there, and there are many types of plants, and Xiaoxi will definitely like it.

    "Where did you want to go?" Ye Kang knew from the look on his face that he had listened to the proposal.

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

    Ye Kang became interested when he heard about Kunnan. "Whenever we go, we can go together."

    Yan Yue changed the subject as if he didn't hear his words.

    An Jie winked at Ye Kang funny, and said, "Honeymoon trip."

    Ye Kang: “…”
