Chapter 359
Tangyuan looked doubtful and didn't believe that the radish in front of him would go bad.
So, she reluctantly reached out her hand again to fiddle with the radish, muttering to herself, "That's impossible. It looks fine..."
However, after a careful inspection, Tangyuan had to admit that the radish had indeed gone bad and was inedible.
He widened his eyes, turned to look at Ningning in surprise, and asked puzzledly: "Ningning, how did you find out it was broken? I didn't notice anything at all!"
Ningning smiled slightly, raised her finger and pointed at the leaves on the top of the radish, and explained in an orderly manner: "Uncle Tang, look at these leaves, the color is a little yellow and wilted, and the edges are a little dry and curled. Normal fresh radishes will not be like this."
As she spoke, Ningning pointed out to Tangyuan the other subtle differences she had observed.
Tangyuan listened to Ningning's explanation and quickly took a good radish for comparison.
You don't know until you compare them. After comparing them, it is indeed as Ningning said, there is a clear difference between the two.
Even Wen Qing, who was standing by, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly when he saw this. He was secretly surprised. He didn't expect that Ning Ning, who was so young, had such keen observation and judgment.
"Tangyuan, you are not even as good as a child, and you still have the nerve to argue with Ningning." Wen Qing shook his head and scolded Tangyuan with a little helplessness.
After hearing this, Tangyuan blushed immediately, but at the same time, she was full of admiration for Ningning.
"That's amazing. You're worthy of being the son of our junior sister. With such skills, I am ashamed of myself and have to admit defeat." Tangyuan nodded sincerely and praised.
Then, as if he remembered something, he suddenly changed the subject and asked curiously, "By the way, I just came back not long ago. How come I heard someone say that this little guy has a special physique, as if anything will die if it touches him?"
"What on earth is going on?"
"Teacher, what you said is too mysterious!" Tang Yuan looked at the teacher in front of him with surprise and couldn't help asking.
He looked at Ningning with his big eyes in confusion, as if he couldn't believe what he heard.
Wen Qing's gaze slowly moved towards Tangyuan. His eyes were as calm as water, but they revealed a majesty that could not be ignored.
He said slowly, "I asked for it from Old Shen. It's a cactus that can grow tenaciously in the desert."
"But who would have thought that after he carefully cared for it for a whole month, it would eventually die, and wither completely."
"What? No way!"
Tangyuan cried out in shock. He could never have imagined that even a cactus grown by someone as experienced as Lao Shen would die.
For a moment, he felt that this matter was full of weirdness and unbelievability.
"Is there something wrong here?" Tangyuan muttered to himself, casting an incredulous look at Ningning standing beside him.
Ningning also had a bewildered look on her face at this time, and was obviously also very confused about this matter.
At this time, Wen Qing spoke again: "Aren't you planning to sow seeds? Why not take him with you and try it together?"
"Maybe we can find out where the problem lies." After saying that, he kept staring at Tangyuan, as if waiting for his response.
After hearing this, Tangyuan couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
He glanced at Ningning beside him nervously, then turned around and said to Wen Qing nervously, "Teacher, you don't know, it's not easy for me to get those seeds! What if..."
Having said this, he hesitated and did not continue.
However, before Tang Yuan could finish his words, Wen Qing interrupted him firmly: "As long as you can help him successfully grow these plants, I will hand over Project 2 directly to you."
When Tangyuan heard this, his eyes, which had been somewhat dim, suddenly brightened up. He could hardly believe his ears.
"Really? Teacher, please don't lie to me!" he asked loudly and excitedly.
At this moment, Gao Liang, who had been standing silently nearby, suddenly coughed twice and shook his head at Tangyuan, signaling with his eyes that he should not agree easily.
"It doesn't matter. I have plenty of seeds. Besides, our little Ningning is so keen on planting. As long as we train her well, she will definitely be able to inherit our legacy in the future."
"Teacher, you can rest assured. Ningning's previous strange phenomenon of 'nothing growing' will definitely disappear completely under my guidance." Tangyuan patted his chest and assured everyone confidently.
After Xia Ruo'an heard this, an awkward smile appeared on his face. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Oh, that... Senior Brother Tang, you'd better not do that."
However, Tang Yuan retorted seriously: "Junior Sister Ruoan, you can't say that."
"Our Ningning obviously has an extraordinary talent for planting, but she may not have found the right method before."
"This time I chose a new type of planting method called hydroponics."
He paused, then added, "And I will personally supervise the entire planting process. There will definitely be no mistakes. Please trust me."
After saying that, Tangyuan once again firmly emphasized his determination, trying to reassure everyone.
Then, Tang Yuan turned around, his gentle eyes fell on Ningning's small body, and asked with a smile: "Ningning, do you have enough confidence that this planting activity can be successful?"
Ningning nodded without hesitation and answered in a childish but firm voice: "I have confidence!"
Hearing Ningning's answer, Tangyuan smiled with satisfaction, then hugged Ningning into his arms and said happily: "That's great!"
"Let's go. Uncle will take you to pick the best seeds now." Before he finished speaking, Tangyuan carried Ningning in his arms and left the base quickly with brisk steps.
Looking at their receding backs, Xia Ruo'an shook his head helplessly, turned to look at Gao Liang beside him, smiled bitterly and said, "Alas, it seems that another person who refuses to believe in reality has appeared."
Gao Liang also sighed and agreed, "Yeah, I hope Tangyuan can really break Ningning's 'planting curse' this time."
The two of them talked quietly.
"Teacher, even I can't do it. Do you really think Senior Brother Tang can do it?" Xia Ruoan turned his head with a puzzled look on his face, staring straight at the teacher, and asked anxiously.
Hearing this, the teacher frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Let's try it first, and remind Tang Yuan by the way, so that he won't take chances."
"It would be bad if Ningning accidentally touched the precious species he raised next time. And with Ningning's special physique, who knows what kind of consequences it would cause."
At this point, the teacher couldn't help but sigh, and then said: "Several of your seniors didn't believe it at first, just like you did, and thought I was exaggerating."
"But what happened in the end? They all came to me crying and complaining. Seeing their miserable state, I was so angry that I wanted to scold them!"
"I clearly reminded them a long time ago that Ningning has a special physique and asked them to be more careful, but they just wouldn't listen. They had to wait until they suffered before they regretted it. Tell me, aren't they just asking for trouble?"
At this time, Gao Liang, who had been standing silently by the side, suddenly spoke up: "The teacher is right. He is indeed too self-righteous."
Gao Liang still remembers one time when he just didn't believe it and was careless for a moment, and actually let Ningning help him water the plants.
As a result, the vegetable leaves that he had grown with great effort and were about to be harvested all turned yellow and withered overnight.
From then on, Senior Brother Gao Liang never dared to underestimate Ningning's special physique again.
Whenever I think of Gao Liang, I shed tears of sadness.
Gao Liang, who also didn't believe it, was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
"However, facing the teacher's stern gaze, he finally shut his mouth obediently and dared not say a word again.
Seeing this, the teacher shook his head slightly, then turned his attention to Gao Liang and asked seriously, "Have you finished the things I asked you to do?"
"Well, it's finally done!" Gao Liang let out a long sigh and said seriously, "I have explained in detail the specific situation of Tangyuan's blue-yellow color blindness. I believe it will attract enough attention from everyone."
After saying this, he paused for a moment, then said with a hint of embarrassment: "If this happens, I guess Tangyuan will also become famous."
Hearing this, Wen Qing, who was standing beside him, nodded slightly in agreement: "Yes, this is indeed a very good example."
As she spoke, she turned her gaze to the pile of radishes on the ground next to her, then looked at Xia Ruoan and said softly, "Ruoan, come and pack these radishes and take them back."
"It must have taken your Ningning so much effort to pull them out of the soil."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Qing seemed to suddenly remember something, quickly looked down at his phone screen, then raised his head and said to the two of them: "I have to go to the dean to report this matter."
"By the way, Ruoan, please help me record these relevant data. Here is the ruler, take it." Wen Qing said as he handed the ruler in his hand to Xia Ruoan with quick movements.
Seeing this, Xia Ruoan nodded and said, "Okay, no problem."
At this moment, Gao Liang came forward enthusiastically and proactively and said, "Let me help you."
Hearing this, Xia Ruo'an showed a hint of surprise on his face, and quickly responded: "That's great, I'd love to have your help!"
