Yang Tianchen: Tenacious small plants

Black "small melon seeds", pale yellow "small sesame seeds", purple naughty "small stones", these are the three types of small seeds that my mother gave me - Lu Binghua, Dry Golden Lotus, Ma Lanhua, they have different forms, colorful. I buried them in the soil, covered them with a small quilt, and with some rain, they fell asleep in the soil.

After three days, the little seeds came out and looked at the wonderful world curiously with those little green eyes, and their small leaves grew wings and flew among the stars, like little green butterflies. This is the budding of Lu Binghua.

Not to be left behind, the dry golden lotus shrugged its small head, like a sad child. Its stem is very long, just not strong enough, soft and seems to be looking for dependence at any time, trying to entangle this attachment. It was so good-looking, with two or three little green hats and a tail like a pig's curly tail. Which plant is envious of it, how can it be so well-behaved?

The maran flower followed, burrowed out of the soil, ran out of the soil, and shrank its head back in fear, like a small bean shrunk in the soil, only a small head came out, and the green curls could be seen in the distance. I thought: What's out there? Why is it afraid? The growth of the dry lotus is very special, it has prepared itself for the ascent competition, as if to say: "Please let me climb the tree!" "So I picked up a bamboo pole about fifty centimeters long outside, very tall, and took it home and stuck it in the soil. The dry lotus is like a rock climbing master, don't look at it small but very powerful, easily climb up the "top of the tree". This makes me think that the dry lotus represents strength.

What is even stranger is that the leaves of the maran flower seem to have flown away, mysteriously disappearing. I guess it should have run into the soil to "spend the winter". So I "dug three feet into the ground", but no matter how much I "explored more than once", I couldn't find it. While the case was under investigation, Lu Binghua was gone, which made me wonder: These flowers are playing games, and only the luckiest flowers can survive. It seems how tenacious the surviving flowers are!

Instructor's comments: From the germination of seeds to tenacious growth, the growth of small plants is vivid, the writing is so delicate, vivid, tenacious little life jumps on the paper.
