It's such a comfortable day.

"Students who participate in the school bonsai selection contest should immediately go to Teacher Li on the right side of the square to get a number plate." A middle-aged male teacher in his 30s stood at the entrance of the playground and guided the students with a loudspeaker Admission test.

Although the school has estimated the enthusiasm of the students to participate in the competition, it also specially limited some conditions, and selected a batch.However, there are still many students who come to participate in the preliminary competition.Some students from the student union also helped the teacher in the playground, busying around with the sign of proctor.

Mo Bei didn't go to the playground immediately, but went to the dormitory early to call Zhezi and the three of them, moved some potting materials from the car, and went to the selection site together.

"Hey! There are so many people!" The madman exaggeratedly exclaimed.

"There are so many people, I'm so worried." Xiaowei muttered in a low voice without confidence.

"Well, basically all qualified students participated in the selection. Let's do our best!" Peng Zhengzhe was worthy of being the leader of this group of people, and he calmly comforted and encouraged the people around him.

Mo Bei stepped forward first, handed his student ID to several teachers sitting side by side at the table, registered his relevant information, and pinned the number plate he received to his chest.He turned his head and motioned for the three of them to hurry up and go through the relevant procedures.

"Student, you can now go to the rostrum to choose the potting base you want to use, and some related equipment provided by the school." A senior student came over and explained to Mo Bei enthusiastically.

The potted bases provided by the school come in various shapes such as earthen jars and stone troughs.Mo Bei picked a rattan flower basket-shaped base, took some white paper from the teacher and spread it in the flower basket, and returned to his place holding the rattan base filled with some soil.Looking at Zhezi and Madman, they have also picked the base and returned to the combination stage not far from him.

The selection exam started on time at nine o'clock and lasted for two hours.

There are more than 100 candidates, and each candidate has a table with various flowers, green plants, shovels and other utensils on the table.Because the exam questions had been announced in advance, everyone had made detailed preparations. When the teacher gave an order, they immediately rushed to start work in full swing. The scene was very spectacular.

The theme of the potted plants created by Mo Bei today is childhood.

From some of the withered, yellowed and blackened branches, I selected four relatively straight ones, tied them into a well-shaped shape with the black silk thread prepared by the teacher, and tied them into the back of the base to fix them.Carefully pull out a few rattans with roots from the shelf, bury them under the shelf, and wind them up along the well-shaped shelf.

Looking up at the other groups around, some are transplanting small cannas, and some are using silk threads to tie some ordinary plants into various shapes.The examination room was quiet, everyone worked nervously, no one spoke, and occasionally the sound of flower pots being put on the table could be heard.

In this tense atmosphere, Mo Bei also put away his laziness and hurriedly created the potted plants in front of him.

Picking up a small shovel, I picked up a few petite and unbloomed purple commelinas from the flowers I brought and planted them in the soil under the well on the right.Fat, purple-black leaves with bright red edges.Then he took care of a few dwarf crabapple plants and buried them in the left front of the rattan basket.

Two hours seems to be a long time, but for the candidates participating in the selection, it would be nice if all the teachers' watches stopped.Mo Bei had just finished making his potted plants, and before he had time to clean up his countertop, the teacher blew the whistle to signal that the exam time would be over.The group below sighed.Mo Bei turned his head and looked back. Many students were still holding unplanted plants in their hands, and looked dumbfounded at the teacher who was blowing the whistle.

Under the leadership of the teacher, the seven or eight students present lifted these works from four directions to the table near the rostrum, and lined them up in a row, which was convenient for the judges and teachers to score.

After the competition, the candidates like Mo Bei and the students who were watching outside the venue were organized by the teacher to clean up the examination room.The reward is that after the teacher finishes evaluating the scores, they will be allowed to visit all the works in this competition.

Peng Zhengzhe and Mo Bei followed the flow of people, looking at the potted plants of various shapes on the table.

"Oh! This work is not bad." Mo Bei, who has seen more than a dozen potted plants and hasn't seen any outstanding ones, seemed a little surprised.

"That's right, put seven or eight clusters of lilies in the center of the crock-shaped base." The lunatic also noticed.

"The pink and blooming cyclamen are surrounded by white and flawless lilies. The fat dark green cyclamen leaves hang down from the edge of the big crock, not only connecting the lilies, but also setting off the maroon crock very beautifully." Mo Bei Added, "Moreover, overall, the ups and downs are patchwork, and the colors range from light to dark. It is considered a relatively good work we have seen."

Xiaowei looked strange when they were talking, and suddenly wanted to think of something, and shouted: "Brother Zhe, this potted plant is your work, I remember you once talked about your thoughts in the dormitory."

Mo Bei also slapped his head, remembering that these are all the flowers he brought over!How come I don't know each other anymore.

Before coming to this potted plant, Peng Zhengzhe, who had been silent for a long time, showed an unusually shy expression, "Well, it's my work."

A few people jokingly said that Zhezi should treat guests to a rubbing meal at night, because judging by the performance of this work, it is no problem to enter the finals.

Peng Zhengzhe complained to several people: "You can't beat my autumn wind all the time, Mo Bei! I saw your work, it's not better than mine at 01:30."

"Oh? Zhezi knows my work?" Mo Bei was surprised.

"I'm right behind you, and I saw it as soon as I looked up." Peng Zhengzhe said as a matter of course, "If I didn't see your work so well, and its speed is so fast, I might not be able to finish the work in the end. a question."

"Okay then, let's move on and see my work."

"Wow! Mo Bei, you are such a genius!" The madman couldn't help shouting out when he saw a pot full of childlike works along the direction of Mo Bei's fingers.

"Under the green crabapple and plump sedum, you can vaguely see the miniature fence in the center of the flower basket. There are two Lycoris behind the fence, which symbolize the fruitful trees in the garden. Two dolls are playing inside the fence, One is outside, and there are several small brightly colored mushrooms beside it. It looks very bright in this green grass."

"The most amazing thing is the shelf covered with vines at the back, very similar to the vines in my grandmother's house when I was a child." Xiao Wei also interjected excitedly.

"Actually, the name of my work is Childhood, which is a miniature garden." He explained to several people.

It took almost an hour for them to read all the works.Most of the works are so-so, or just like Xiaowei, because of the pursuit of perfection, the time is not enough, and the work is not completed.Or it is just like the works of the lunatics, with no special characteristics, and they are crowded together.However, there are also many outstanding works among these more than 100 works.Mo Bei and the others also gained a lot of knowledge after visiting and discussing.Helping the teacher move these works to the spare classroom next to them, the four of them went out for dinner together, waiting for the teacher to announce the results of the preliminary competition in the afternoon.

"Mo Bei! No.5!" The teacher had just posted the report card on the bulletin board and turned away, Xiao Wei, the sharp-eyed guy, shouted at Mo Bei who was outside the return pile, "Brother Zhe... oh, Here, twenty."

After a few minutes, Xiaowei and Madman squeezed out from the crowd on the bulletin board, and came in front of Peng Zhengzhe and Mo Bei with smiles on their faces.

"Zhezi, ranked [-]th. I didn't expect Mo Bei to be fifth! I guess you will have no problem going to Guangzhou to compete." The lunatic pushed Mo Bei happily.

"En! And the lunatic and I are also in the top [-] and entered the final." Xiaowei smiled happily and nodded to the other three people.

"Let's work hard, everyone. Next, we will work harder. It is not easy to enter the final. And there are only ten places." Peng Zhengzhe said to the three people, as if he was talking to himself.
