After Su Nuan explained the situation to Chen Meirong, she first called the Gu family to report her safety. After chatting with her grandmother for a while, she prepared to go back to her room to wash up and pack. After being on the train for so long, although there was no smell in winter, Su Nuan still felt uncomfortable. She wanted to go back to her room to take a good bath and rest.
After Su Nuan came downstairs from her room after taking a shower, Aunt Mei from the kitchen and her helpers prepared the meal. After Su Nuan came down and sat down to eat, everyone followed suit and ate together.
After dinner, Su Nuan felt a little bored and couldn't sleep. She got up and put on thick clothes, ready to go for a walk in the garden to digest the food. When she walked into the garden, although Shanghai was not covered with thick snow like Beijing in winter, it was still quite cold in Shanghai in winter. The garden in winter was not like the garden during the Spring Festival. The plants were full of vitality, but there was a unique beauty of depression. Some plants were withered and dead, but some plants were still green. Breathing the cold air, she still felt refreshed.
Before, she had only taken a rough walk around the garden and understood the general direction and layout, but had not gone into depth to check it out. Now that she had nothing to do, Su Nuan wandered around the garden slowly by herself. When she reached a remote corner of the garden, Su Nuan discovered a glass greenhouse.
Walking into the glass greenhouse, the temperature inside is suitable, very warm and comfortable. The greenhouse is not big, with an area of about 80 square meters. The flower racks inside are neatly arranged, with many flowers and plants placed. Most of the flowers here are in full bloom, compared with the depression in the garden outside, it can be said that spring is strong here, and all kinds of flowers are blooming in a colorful way, which is very beautiful.
Su Nuan was strolling leisurely in the greenhouse with a curious and adventurous mood. From time to time, she approached the flowers and carefully smelled their fragrance. Su Nuan was strolling comfortably when the door of the glass greenhouse was pushed open from the outside.
A father and a son, one old and one young, came in, each holding two pots of plants in their hands. After they came in, they found Su Nuan. After recognizing her, they greeted Su Nuan cautiously.
The grandfather and grandson who came were none other than the martyr grandfather and grandson who Gu Chengfeng had brought to take care of the flower garden. Looking at their reserved expressions, Su Nuan spoke gently.
"I was just strolling in the garden when I suddenly found this greenhouse. I came in to take a look out of curiosity. You guys go about your business, I'll just take a look."
The two nodded respectfully and continued to busy themselves with their own work, moving a few pots of flowers and preparing to transplant them to a piece of land in the greenhouse. Su Nuan watched the grandfather and grandson busying themselves with skill, and only asked after they finished transplanting.
"Why do you want to transplant a plant that's growing well in its pot? Won't that damage the roots?"
Old man Li said, "Miss, you may not know that these potted plants were bought last week. They have some insect pests and diseases. We sprayed them with medicine right after they were bought and placed them in a shaded and ventilated place for a week to slow down. After these plants adapt to the new growing environment, they need to be repotted and transplanted. Newly transplanted plants need to be watered thoroughly and the growing environment needs to have some sunlight and ventilation. This way, after the plants have slowed down, their chances of survival will be greater, and transplanting will also be more conducive to their growth and survival."
Su Nuan understood. "So there are so many tricks to growing these flowers. I see that the flowers in the greenhouse are well taken care of. You guys are really attentive."
Old man Li did not dare to take credit for it. "These are what we should do. I see that the young lady likes these flowers very much. There are a few pots of azaleas over there, which are in full bloom. You can move a few pots to the room. It can refresh the air and be pleasing to the eyes."
Su Nuan listened with great interest. "The temperature in this greenhouse is suitable for the growth of flowers. If we move the azalea into the room, will it affect the growth of the flowers?"
"No, azaleas are very cold-resistant and are not afraid of freezing. It's just that the room temperature is much higher than the outdoor temperature, so it won't affect them."
"I see. Then please send two pots to my room later."
"Okay Miss"
Out of curiosity, Su Nuan asked Old Man Li about his techniques and experience in growing flowers, and learned a lot. It turns out that there are many differences in the planting of different varieties of small flowers, such as what fertilizer to apply, what medicine to use, and what nutrients to supplement. Some flowers need to grow in sunny places, while others need to grow in shaded and cool places. There are many tricks to all of this.
After staying in the greenhouse for quite some time and learning a lot from Old Man Li, Su Nuan thought about the Lantern Festival party and told Old Man Li.
"Uncle Li, I will invite some friends over for a party on the Lantern Festival. I'll leave the arrangements for the flowers we'll need to be made by you. Talk to Butler Chen about which flowers to use and how to arrange them."
"Yes, I understand, Miss."
After finishing his talk, Su Nuan did not stay for a while. He was ready to go back and rest, so he walked out of the greenhouse and headed towards the main building. The grandson of old man Li who followed behind Su Nuan also went to the main building with him. He brought two pots of azaleas and placed them in Su Nuan's room.
