However, whether Wu comes or does not come has little impact, and the rules copy cannot be changed due to his presence.
"Real-time time report, the current time is 5:45, please prepare for a new day of work."
The PA in the dormitory sounded an automatic time announcement.
Anxi stood up and prepared to leave.
Shen Yunjia didn't move. She was wearing a green dress and a small yellow apron.
She and Anxi have different positions. They are staff members of the gift canteen, and their working hours and lengths are also different.
"It's over! I haven't changed my clothes yet!" Fang Qianyao exclaimed. Her job was the same as An Qian's as a maintenance worker, but she came a little late. She had been eating cookies just now and had not changed into her work clothes. .
As she hurriedly changed her clothes, she said to Anxi: "You go first."
An Qian and Shen Yunjia looked at each other.
There is no mention of lateness in the rules. The penalty for being late is at most a wage deduction, which is part of the labor code. It should not touch the hidden dangers in the park.
Besides, she and Fang Qianyao work in different areas, so there is no need to wait for her.
"Okay, I'll leave first." Anxi said and pushed open the dormitory door.
Shen Yunjia stood at the door of the dormitory and said to her: "Bye, remember to find me at the gift shop when you have time."
An Qian nodded. She looked back at Fang Qianyao, who was putting on her pants, then took out her phone and tapped the screen, signaling Shen Yunjia to check her phone later.
Fang Qianyao was in the dormitory, and An Qian couldn't speak directly to Shen Yunjia.
So before she left, she sent a message to Shen Yunjia on her mobile phone, briefly talking about Fang Qianyao and Chu Qingyan, and asking her to pay more attention.
…
…
After walking out of the dormitory.
"There is a hydrangea path on the left, so you should take the path on the right."
Anxi looked at the map in her hand and stood at a fork, in a dilemma.
The botanical garden covers a large area with many areas and complicated roads.
Anxi followed the directions on the map and the road signs on the side of the road, and finally found her assigned area - Area A of the Fern Botanical Garden.
Most ferns prefer high humidity and cool environments.
So as soon as she walked into the fern garden, Anxi felt a moist breath blowing against her face. Ferns have strong vitality and fast growth speed, and there is a vibrant green as far as the eye can see.
"Are you an intern?"
Pushing aside the lush long leaves, a figure also wearing a gray employee uniform walked over to where Anxi was.
This is a middle-aged male ghost with a pair of elephant-like ears. His face has been shaken, his temples are white, and his eyes are droopy. He looks a little listless. He is tortured by work, but he still speaks to Anxi responsibly. To introduce:
"My surname is Chen. Judging from your age, you should be much younger than me. Just call me Uncle Chen."
"Actually, you are lucky. You are assigned to the fern area. The work here is relatively easy. If you were assigned to other areas, you would be exhausted."
"Ferns have strong vitality, so even if you forget to water them one day, they will be fine."
"But just a little bit."
Uncle Chen's voice suddenly dropped: "Ferns reproduce quickly, especially those plants developed by our botanical garden. They are faster than ordinary ones. You must be careful. When you find spores on their leaves, you must Cut it off and take it to the burning place to burn."
"Spores?" Anxi heard the familiar but rare word and asked, "What does it look like?"
Uncle Chen said nothing.
He waved to Anxi to follow him.
Walking from the tourist trail to the soft soil, Anxi's rubber boots sank into the soil and then lifted up, leaving heavy and shallow footprints on the ground.
"This is it."
Uncle Chen stopped at a very dense fern clump. The fern leaves here are fan-shaped, and the rhizomes are long and slightly drooping.
Anxi glanced at the standing sign next to her.
It says: Maidenhair fern.
Uncle Chen adjusted his gloves again to make sure no gaps were exposed, then reached out and grabbed the stem of a small clump of maidenhair fern and turned it up.
Under the leaves, a string of small black bulges grew along the arc edge of the leaves, like pimples on the leaves, or like curled bugs.
"Huh……"
Anxi felt a little nauseous and numb, and couldn't help but take a step back, wanting to stay away from the leaf.
"It was the same when I first came here, but sooner or later you have to get familiar with this when working here."
Uncle Chen did not criticize An Qian for being unprofessional. He understood that she was still an intern and cut off the maidenhair fern first.
"Click, click..."
Uncle Chen took the gardening scissors and made two cuts. The stems and leaves of the maidenhair fern with black spores broke off, separated from the larger group, and fell to the ground.
"Pick it up quickly and put it in the basket." Uncle Chen's voice was a little urgent.
Anxi quickly reached out and picked up the small clump of maidenhair fern and placed it in a plastic basket that had been placed nearby.
After putting away the cut maidenhair fern, Uncle Chen handed the gardening shears to An Qian: "Here, you can use this one first."
"Don't water it today. Check around and cut off all the leaves with spores. Be careful not to let the spores explode."
"good."
Anxi responded.
After Uncle Chen gave a few more instructions, he walked to other parts of the garden, leaving Anqian facing the clump of maidenhair ferns.
She followed Uncle Chen's example, grabbed the stem of the maidenhair fern and turned it upwards. Another row of swollen black spores growing along the edge appeared in front of her eyes.
Anxi endured her nausea and cut it with garden shears, and the maidenhair fern fell into the basket.
The maidenhair fern side was quickly pruned, and Anxi followed the path pointed by Uncle Chen and walked towards the stove outside the garden.
She saw an interpretive sign on the road that described ferns in detail.
"Ferns cannot produce seeds and reproduce with spores."
"A spore is a reproductive or dormant cell produced by plants that can directly develop into new individuals."
There was a safety notice sign next to the explanation board, and Anxi also looked at it carefully.
"Ferns will produce spores when they mature, and they will explode when mature, which is harmful to patients with respiratory diseases."
"The spores are similar to pollen and may cause allergic reactions in people with pollen allergies or allergies."
"Therefore, tourists who are prone to allergies should consider whether to visit the park. If you insist on visiting, please wear a mask, hat and other protective equipment before entering the park."
"I see. No wonder it's so sensitive to spores."
An Qian read the words on the two signs and understood why Uncle Chen emphasized paying attention to the spores.
She checked her gloves and mask carefully by the way, making sure they were all behind her before continuing to walk towards the burning place of the furnace.
"Boom... crackle..."
As I approached the place where the stove was burning, I could vaguely hear the sound in the stove.
The incinerator is designed so that when you step on it, the iron cover will slide up and open. If you find it troublesome, you can keep stepping on it.
Anxi felt that the design was not very good. It had to be operated continuously, and the opening of the incinerator was also very small. She could not fall down in one breath, so she could only grab it one by one and send it inside.
"boom---"
There is burning material.
The fire in the incinerator burned even brighter.
But at the same time, she heard a crisp crackling sound, which was the sound of spores exploding after being exposed to fire.
Anxi quickly let go of her feet and let the lid of the incinerator close.
"Sorry, I wrongly blamed you." Anxi apologized to the incinerator. She had just complained that the stove was not easy to use, but she didn't expect that it would be useful here.
Anxi continued to burn the maidenhair ferns diligently in front of the incinerator.
Unexpectedly, in the sound just now, half of the leaves with spores flew out of the stove and landed on the passing little mouse.
